"You! What are you trying to do?"
After Lin Feng finished setting up the Level 7 Defense Soul Tool, Xiao Wu, whom he had knocked unconscious, woke up as well. Seeing that only she and Lin Feng were in the room, a terrible premonition rose within her.
"Release me now! Otherwise, I won't spare you in the future!"
Lin Feng smiled at her words. "For you to not spare me in the future, you have to have a future first, Hundred Thousand Year Soft Bone Rabbit."
As Lin Feng's words fell, Xiao Wu's face instantly turned deathly pale. She nearly blurted out, How did you know? But after a moment, recalling that Lin Feng did not seem to be an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo, and that admitting it would only mean death, she forced herself to remain calm.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about. If you're looking for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, you should go to the Star Dou Great Forest. Why are you looking for me?"
Xiao Wu was still trying to argue, but Lin Feng had no interest in listening to her excuses. The folding fan in his hand transformed into a dagger, and he walked toward her.
"No! Don't come any closer!"
Feeling that death was upon her, Xiao Wu shrank back in terror. But at only Rank 29, where could she possibly run?
The dagger in Lin Feng's hand swiftly pierced her neck. Accompanied by searing pain, Xiao Wu felt her body growing colder and colder.
"Relax. Feeling dizzy is normal."
Xiao Wu's throat moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something. But when blood flooded into her throat, it was destined that she would not be able to say a word.
Before long, a blood red soul ring floated out of Xiao Wu's corpse. Lin Feng glanced at it, then took out a Soul Tool and stored the blood red Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring inside.
Within that Soul Tool, the soul ring could be preserved for an additional week, giving Lin Feng enough time to prepare.
After putting away the soul ring, Lin Feng cut open Xiao Wu's body and found a Hundred Thousand Year Soft Bone Rabbit Left Leg Bone within her.
Without any hesitation, Lin Feng immediately sat down and began absorbing it.
According to Dou Yi's setting, soul bones could be directly fused by soul masters of any rank. According to Dou Er's setting, however, soul bones required a certain level of strength to fuse. But regardless of which setting applied, Lin Feng's Rank 60 Soul Power would have no problem absorbing this mere Soft Bone Rabbit soul bone.
Thus, two and a half hours later, Lin Feng had finished fusing the Soft Bone Rabbit Left Leg Bone that came from Xiao Wu. It granted him two soul skills: Teleportation and Invincible Golden Body.
Feeling those two soul skills, Lin Feng's eyebrow twitched. If the soul bone skills were Teleportation and Invincible Golden Body, then wouldn't the soul ring skills be Void and Explosive Kill Eight-Stage Fall?
Void did not matter much, but Explosive Kill Eight-Stage Fall absolutely would not do!
That was the thing that could summon Xiao Wu's soul to beat people up!
It would not have been much of an issue in Dou Yi, but in Dou Er, it would be a huge problem. Having a Hundred Thousand Year Soft Bone Rabbit soul ring was not a big deal, even if that soul ring carried a trace of Xiao Wu's aura.
Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and a rabbit that gave birth to entire litters at a time. Moreover, Soul Beasts before ten thousand years ago acted purely on instinct and had almost no self-awareness.
Under such circumstances, after a hundred thousand years, while not every Soft Bone Rabbit in the Star Dou Great Forest would be Xiao Wu's descendant, many of them would more or less be related to her. Therefore, it was hardly strange for the soul rings they produced to carry Xiao Wu's aura. Tang San might even subconsciously overlook that detail.
But if Lin Feng's sixth soul skill truly produced Xiao Wu's soul, then given Tang San's extreme feelings toward Xiao Wu, he might really descend to the lower realm without regard for anything else.
Please don't let it be Explosive Kill Eight-Stage Fall! If it really is that soul skill, then killing the soul ring on purpose will have been meaningless! Lin Feng prayed inwardly, then released Xiao Wu's soul ring from the Soul Tool.
"Soul."
After looking at Xiao Wu's soul ring, Lin Feng released his Two-Character Battle Armor.
In Douluo 3, Tang Wulin had once asked Tang San whether Battle Armor strengthened the body. Tang San had said he did not know, because he had never seen Battle Armor.
But as long as one compared Dou Er and Dou San, it was obvious that Battle Armor definitely enhanced the body.
During Dou Er's era, only Titled Douluo possessed Soul Cores. Two Soul Cores were exclusive to Limit Douluo, and Huo Yuhao's greatest achievement was condensing his first Soul Core while still a Soul Sage.
That was already an exceptionally impressive accomplishment during Douluo 2, but in Douluo 3, it was merely average, because Douluo 3 explicitly stated that Soul Sages already possessed Soul Cores.
With Soul Sages possessing Soul Cores, combined with the rule that once a Soul Sage had a Soul Core, reaching Titled Douluo required a second Soul Core, it was clear just how great Battle Armor's enhancement to a soul master's body was.
Lin Feng also needed that enhancement to have confidence in absorbing Xiao Wu's soul ring.
"Come on, let me see the power of this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring!"
After absorbing the soul bone and releasing his Battle Armor, Lin Feng began trying to fuse Xiao Wu's Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
"Ugh!"
The instant the soul ring entered his body, intense pain surged through him. This was a normally hunted Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, containing the endless hatred of the Soul Beast before its death.
It differed from the soul rings provided by Soul Spirits. With those soul rings, no matter how unwilling a Soul Spirit was, it knew that if it wanted to survive, it was one with the soul master. To a certain extent, they shared prosperity and ruin.
If the soul master died, the Soul Spirit would die as well. But if the soul master lived, they would not perish.
Under such circumstances, Soul Spirits had to help soul masters absorb soul rings. They would even find ways to make their own power less violent.
That was precisely why, in Dou Yi, Tang San had nearly died absorbing a two-thousand-year third soul ring. In Dou Er, Xiao Xiao, despite possessing two soul bones, had a two-thousand-year third soul ring as her limit. Yet in Dou San, Xu Xiaoyan, who was not particularly outstanding, had no problem absorbing a three-thousand-plus-year Ice Bear. The upper limit for soul ring absorption had nearly doubled. This was one of the benefits of Soul Spirit soul masters.
Aside from those unyielding Soul Spirits that absolutely refused to coexist with humans, the other Soul Beasts, no matter how unwilling they were, formed a community of shared interests with soul masters. The condition for their continued survival was ensuring the soul master's safety.
However, because he feared Tang San from Dou Er might intervene, Lin Feng could not accept a Xiao Wu soul ring that shared prosperity and ruin with its soul master like a Soul Spirit. All he could take was a Hundred Thousand Year Soft Bone Rabbit soul ring.
And with such a soul ring containing the powerful hatred of a Soft Bone Rabbit, while Xiao Wu could never possibly continue living within Lin Feng's body, the soul ring's rampage was destined to be Xiao Wu's final means of taking revenge on Lin Feng. The two sides could not possibly reconcile.
Xiao Wu was bound to die. The only difference was whether she could use the soul ring's violent power to take Lin Feng down with her while he absorbed it.
