The crowd, who had been holding their breath for so long, burst into cheers, each face flushed with excitement. Even Lei Dong couldn't help getting caught up in it. A Golden Core-level Monster Beast—that was a sea-dwelling tyrant of Golden Core level! Every person present was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. The thrill of using Foundation Establishment strength to slay a Golden Core-level sea tyrant was something only those who had truly experienced it could understand.
Zhang Heng also let out a long breath. Though this wasn't his first time doing something like this, every time left him feeling as though he'd been tempered anew. In the end, he'd killed the Overlord Fish with a single blast from the Netherflame Cannon. But since they'd already hooked it, the brothers could have fought it to the death and brought it down before long. Still, this was Zhang Heng's first time leading a team on such a hunt, so for the sake of safety, he'd broken through its defenses and blasted it dead early.
A small, translucent Overlord Fish emerged from the creature's head, looking lost as it prepared to swim out into the open sea.
"It's a Beast Soul! Don't let it get away!" everyone shouted, reaching down with their Netherflame Ghost Claws. Lei Dong had his own way of catching Beast Souls. He sent out a stream of ghost energy to empower his Netherflame Ghost Claw, pushed past the others, and caught the Beast Soul with pinpoint accuracy, hauling it up. But as befitted a Golden Core Beast Soul, even after suffering such a severe blow, it put immense pressure on Lei Dong's Netherflame Ghost Claw, which nearly collapsed.
Lei Dong hurriedly pulled out a Soul Sealing Ball and sealed it inside. Knowing the rules, he handed it to Zhang Heng.
