The Granite Snake Yan Tortured to Death Dropped a Spirit Bone?!

Yan's face showed a trace of dissatisfaction. Violent energy surged around him, revealing the unrest in his heart.

"Young Master Yan, Spirit Beast Hall truly doesn't have the Hundred Year Fire Attribute Spirit Beast you need,"

"but there is a Hundred Year Earth Attribute Spirit Beast with a perfectly suitable age—the Granite Snake,"

"I remember that your Flame Lord Martial Soul possesses both Fire and Earth Attributes,"

"so absorbing this Granite Snake is also feasible,"

Gabriel spoke tactfully and introduced another Spirit Beast as a second-best option.

"The Granite Snake is indeed feasible, but it isn't my first choice,"

"What I want is still the explosive output of a Fire Attribute Spirit Beast,"

Yan shook his head lightly, his face carrying a hint of displeasure.

"Young Master Yan, that's not quite right. Your Flame Lord Martial Soul possesses the traits of extreme heat, powerful offense, and powerful defense,"

"which means the Fire and Earth Attributes are equally important,"

"I remember that your First Soul Skill is Hell Lava Charge, an extreme-heat, offense-type skill,"

"so your Second Soul Skill can naturally be chosen as a defensive-type Soul Skill,"

"That is the only way to ensure a balance between your offense and defense. Otherwise, if you have only attack and no defense, you'll be at a great disadvantage when fighting others,"

"Of course, the most important thing is that Spirit Beast Hall simply doesn't have a suitable Fire Attribute Spirit Beast for you,"

"If you truly don't want to absorb that roughly eight-hundred-year-old Granite Snake, we can also send people to take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to search for a suitable Spirit Ring,"

"It's just that it may waste a little time,"

Gabriel did indeed want Yan to absorb that Granite Snake. That way, Spirit Beast Hall could save itself some effort.

However, to keep Yan from holding a grudge against him in the future, he did not make his words too absolute.

He still left the final choice to Yan.

After hearing Gabriel's words, Yan fell into thought, clearly weighing his options.

Although his first choice remained the Fire Attribute that represented offense, Gabriel's words were not without reason.

Offense and defense were equally important, and Yan was already impatient to seek revenge on Lin Du.

So, after a few minutes of brief consideration, Yan ultimately chose the Granite Snake as his Spirit Ring, using it to break through as a Spirit Master.

And reach the realm of Soul Grandmaster!

"Then I'll take that Granite Snake. However, there's no need for your people to act. I'll hunt this Spirit Beast myself!"

Still, although he had agreed to use the Granite Snake as his Second Spirit Ring, Yan's heart remained filled with anger.

Eager to vent it, he chose to use this Granite Snake to wear away the fire in his heart.

"No problem. Then I'll look forward to Young Master Yan's splendid display,"

An eight-hundred-year-old Granite Snake posed no threat to a Quasi-Soul Grandmaster like Yan, who possessed a Top Grade Martial Soul.

Therefore, Gabriel did not refuse and readily agreed.

Very quickly, Gabriel brought Yan back to the enclosure holding the Granite Snake.

It was called an enclosure, but in reality, it was a small mountain range.

Because Granite Snakes fed on granite and usually liked burrowing holes,

their habitat had to be based around mountains containing granite.

Moreover, these Spirit Beasts did little but eat and sleep, and they were not particularly aggressive.

All in all, they were relatively docile Spirit Beasts. That was also one reason Gabriel felt at ease letting Yan hunt one alone.

Upon entering the small mountain range, Yan immediately spotted a hole as thick as a bucket.

A dull gray snake tail patterned with granite markings hung limply from the hole, exposed in Yan's sight.

"Still sleeping? I've come to collect you!"

A trace of coldness appeared on Yan's face. As scarlet Soul Power erupted from his body, a slightly illusory Flame Lord, covered in blazing flames and seemingly formed from lava, slowly appeared behind him.

At the same time, a bright yellow Spirit Ring encircled his body, rising and falling rhythmically.

Martial Soul Possession!

With Yan's low shout, flame patterns covering his entire body lit up with crimson radiance.

They emitted scorching light and heat, as though lava were slowly flowing through his body.

Almost at the same instant, chunks of Dark Red rock flowing with lava emerged from his body, wrapping around his chest and limbs!

After Martial Soul Possession, Yan's aura became even more explosive.

That explosive aura seemed to affect Yan's emotions as well. Scorching steam billowed from his mouth and nose.

He quickly strode up to the dull gray tail, stretched out his arms wrapped in rock, and grabbed the Granite Snake's tail.

"Get out here!"

Yan roared, suddenly exerting force with both arms. The next second, the bucket-thick stone hole before him collapsed.

A dull gray snake as thick as an adult's thigh and roughly five meters long was dragged out by Yan as though he were ripping out a dragon's sinew.

By the time the sleeping Granite Snake was awakened by Yan's actions, its entire dull gray body, covered in granite patterns, had already been exposed to Yan's view.

"First Soul Skill—"

"Hell Lava Charge!"

With Yan's furious roar, the bright yellow Hundred Year Spirit Ring floating rhythmically around him suddenly lit up.

The next second, Yan raised both arms high before smashing them violently into the ground.

Dark Red light burst from his arms, and scorching lava surged toward the Granite Snake like an undulating fountain.

It struck the Granite Snake's comparatively soft belly dead-on. Accompanied by a shrill hiss,

the Granite Snake was blasted into the air by the Dark Red lava, its massive body soaring upward.

Logically speaking, Yan only needed to follow up with another Hell Lava Charge to kill the Granite Snake.

Yet he did not seem to want to do that. Instead, he allowed the Granite Snake to crash heavily onto the ground.

The lava's searing heat and the agony of falling from such a height twisted the Granite Snake's body together, making it look exceptionally miserable.

However, there was not the slightest sympathy in Yan's eyes. There was only the pleasure of venting his emotions.

Before the Granite Snake could react, he repeated the same move, using his First Soul Skill again and again to send it flying high before smashing it heavily down.

Under such intense torture, the Granite Snake's hisses grew weaker and weaker. Its originally gem-like eyes gradually became bloodshot as it stared fixedly at Yan, who was tormenting it, with a gaze filled with hatred and helplessness.

"Damn beast, who allowed you to look at me like that?!"

Noticing the Granite Snake's gaze, the furious Yan smashed both fists down again. But just as they were about to strike the Granite Snake's soft belly, it endured the excruciating pain in its body and thrust its head forward, using it to take Yan's attack head-on.

The result was that its head instantly exploded, leaving it completely dead!

"Damn beast! Who allowed you to kill yourself?!"

Seeing that the snake had actually dared to kill itself, the aura around Yan not only failed to ease but became even more explosive.

Dark Red radiance bloomed across his arms, and the lava flowing within them could even be seen clearly.

He viciously smashed his arm down, using his First Soul Skill to directly blow the Granite Snake's corpse apart.

Dull gray chunks of flesh splattered in every direction.

But at that moment, a ghastly white Tail Bone flashing with light suddenly caught Yan's attention.
