Zhang Lexuan, You Are About to Become the Senior Disciple Sister!

When Tang Tong cried for help, the imagined Profound Elder didn't suddenly appear and slap the Hundred-Thousand-Year Banyan Tree away, nor did he reprimand the reason for severely injuring a Shrek disciple.

Instead, Tang Tong felt the Banyan Tree's aerial roots burrow into his skin, forcibly ripping out the Soul Bones from his right arm and left leg.

At this moment, for Tang Tong, it was no longer about pain. As everyone knew, only a Titled Douluo could survive after having their Soul Bones extracted.

Although Level 90 was only one Soul Ring away from Titled Douluo, one only became a true Titled Douluo after absorbing the final ninth Soul Ring and reaching Level 91. Level 90 Soul Power was still within the Spirit Douluo category, and Spirit Douluo could not survive after having their Soul Bones extracted. Therefore, Tang Tong felt the aura of death rapidly approaching him.

Until the moment of his death, he never understood why Profound Elder didn't come to save him. After all, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast would have been easier for Profound Elder to deal with than those two Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bears.

"G-Great Senior Disciple Brother?"

A Shrek disciple who had come to hunt for a Soul Ring looked at their Great Senior Disciple Brother, Tang Tong, with disbelief as his right arm and left leg Soul Bones were removed. It was common knowledge that any Soul Master not at the Titled Douluo level would surely die after their Soul Bones were extracted. Even a Titled Douluo would experience a ten-level drop in Soul Power after losing their Soul Bones. In essence, losing Soul Bones meant either death or severe injury.

Under these circumstances, Profound Elder couldn't possibly do nothing. In other words, Profound Elder, who had always been beyond their senses, was truly not here!

At this moment, they had no time to mourn for Great Senior Disciple Brother Tang Tong, as they faced a more serious problem: what should they do next?

Facing them was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast. While they had all reached a bottleneck and only needed one Soul Ring to advance to the next stage, none of them had obtained a breakthrough Soul Ring yet. No one had reached the Eight-Ring Spirit Douluo level; in fact, they didn't even have many Seven-Ring Soul Sages among them at this moment.

Facing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast with their current strength, it wasn't a matter of certain death, but it was definitely a near-certain one.

"Junior Disciple Sister, you and Ruo Ruo will assist. This time, I fear we might not make it out alive."

Xiao Yan stepped forward, his seven Soul Rings appearing – two Yellow, two Purple, and three Black. Facing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast with this strength was practically suicidal, but at this moment, they had no other choice.

Even though each of them possessed one or two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bones, and their Spirits generally had high quality, without anyone having an eighth Soul Ring, facing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast was a foregone conclusion. Everyone else had retreated.

Fortunately, while the higher-ups of Shrek were unreliable, the disciples could at least rely on each other. Under these circumstances, they could barely muster the strength to fight. As for how much of a chance this fight would give them, that was hard to say.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Star Dou Great Forest.

With his powerful spiritual force and keen perception of the air currents, Lin Feng quickly located the Golden Tortoise tribe. Using his spiritual perception, he swiftly identified the Hundred-Thousand-Year Golden Tortoise disguised as a Thirty-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast.

Without hesitation, Lin Feng activated the Soul Skill of his left palm bone, the Forty-Thousand-Year Ice Scorpion's left palm bone skill, Flash Freeze Ray, and directed it at the Golden Hawksbill.

Seemingly sensing danger, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Golden Tortoise instantly unleashed its innate Soul Skill, Invincible Shield.

In an instant, a white shield capable of easily blocking the attacks of Titled Douluo, Super Douluo, and even Limit Douluo was deployed. And because it was a Spirit Beast's innate skill, it didn't have the mere three-second duration of a typical Spirit Tool's Invincible Shield.

With its Hundred-Thousand-Year cultivation, the Golden Tortoise Shell's Invincible Shield was not only strong but also incredibly durable.

"It really is you." Upon sensing the strength of the Invincible Shield, Lin Feng was completely certain that this was the Hundred-Thousand-Year Golden Terrapin he was looking for.

Thus, in the next second, Lin Feng appeared directly inside the Invincible Shield. Without giving it a chance to speak and reveal that it was actually a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast, he immediately used Flash Freeze Ray again, instantly freezing it.

In the next moment, Lin Feng grabbed the Golden玳瑁 and left the Golden玳瑁 gathering place.

The other Golden Hawksbills didn't make much of a move when they saw their kin being captured by humans.

On one hand, they were not skilled in attack or speed and couldn't catch Lin Feng. On the other hand, that Golden Tortoise only appeared to them as a Thirty-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast. Although it seemed to have an extremely strong Invincible Shield due to some mutation, a Thirty-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast was still just a Thirty-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast, not a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast. If it was captured, it was captured.

Although they were unhappy about their kin being captured, Spirit Beasts that were not Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts ultimately couldn't seek help from the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest to uphold justice for them.

Thus, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Golden Tortoise successfully played itself a trick with its disguised identity.

After Lin Feng brought it to another area in the core region, he casually drove away the Spirit Beast occupying that territory and then ended the Hundred-Thousand-Year Golden Turtle's life with a Wind Blade.

With Lin Feng's current strength and spiritual force, absorbing a mere Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring didn't require a particularly quiet environment. He could even absorb the Soul Ring while fighting, and with the Soul Spirits by his side to protect him, Lin Feng wasn't in a hurry to leave the Star Dou Great Forest. He directly began absorbing it while remaining vigilant.

Soon, the second Soul Ring for the Ice Scorpion Spirit appeared, and Lin Feng, as he wished, obtained the Invincible Shield and Life Enhancement as his two Soul Skills.

After obtaining the Soul Skills, Lin Feng looked at the Golden Tortoise's body, which was mostly consumed by his second Soul Spirit, the Winged Tiger. He took out the Life's Gold and the Hundred-Thousand-Year Body Bone from it.

Looking at the Hundred-Thousand-Year Body Bone, Lin Feng fell into a dilemma.

If he were to give this Soul Bone to his family, Lin Feng wouldn't know how to explain its origin, as his family lived in a timeline after Dou San, when it was no longer permissible to casually kill Spirit Beasts.

But if he were to bestow this Soul Bone upon his subordinates, the question was, did the Dragon Duke deserve a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone?

Giving it to Meng Yiran would require him to spend time watching over her, and he couldn't stay in Douluo Era 1 the entire time, so it clearly wasn't suitable.

What if he used this Soul Bone to repay a favor to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School?

Just as Lin Feng was contemplating this, a massive Soul Power fluctuation from the southwest caught his attention.
