Radiant Unicorn Sacrifice! Angel Halo!

After searching for half a day, night had fallen when they finally encountered a Soul Beast suited to the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul—the Radiant Unicorn.

The Soul Beast was snow-white all over. A spiraling golden horn gleamed brilliantly from its forehead, while a pair of white feathered wings stretched from its back, making it look sacred and noble.

"Is that... a Radiant Unicorn?" Lin Fan's eyes lit up. This Soul Beast's aura was an almost perfect match for his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

"What a pity. It suits you well, but it's already eight hundred years old." Bibi Dong sighed, a hint of regret flashing through her eyes. "It would work as your second Soul Ring, but you can't absorb it as your first."

Lin Fan's heart sank at her words.

An eight-hundred-year cultivation really was beyond what his current body could endure.

The system panel showed that his limit was six hundred and fifty years. That was a full one hundred and fifty years short.

Staring at the Radiant Unicorn, Lin Fan felt an itch in his heart.

This was a rare Soul Beast possessing three attributes—sacred, light, and fire. It could not have been more suitable for the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

Its attributes perfectly matched the three attributes of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. Although there were quite a few Soul Beasts on Douluo Continent that possessed sacred auras, very few actually had the sacred attribute.

Even Bibi Dong felt some regret. This Soul Beast was simply too suitable; its only flaw was its eight-hundred-year cultivation.

Lin Fan silently committed it to memory, planning to return and hunt it when it was time to absorb his second Soul Ring.

Just as everyone was about to leave, the Radiant Unicorn suddenly let out a clear cry. Then its body began to shimmer with dazzling light.

Bibi Dong froze. Before she could react, the Radiant Unicorn suddenly gave a bright neigh, golden light blazing around its body as it transformed into a streak of light and shot straight toward Lin Fan!

"What?!" Bibi Dong's pupils contracted as she instinctively moved to stop it.

However, the golden light did not harm Lin Fan. Instead, it gently enveloped him as a pure force of sacred light flowed continuously into his body.

Since its cultivation was only a hundred years, the visual effects produced by the sacrifice were limited to that little golden light. There was not even a magnetic field.

Lin Fan only felt warm all over as Soul Power surged wildly through his body. His Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul manifested on its own, three pairs of white wings slowly spreading behind him and making him appear even more sacred amid the golden light.

"This... is this a sacrifice?!" Bibi Dong was stunned.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes were filled with shock. "A Soul Beast sacrifice... How is that possible?! A mere Hundred-Year Soul Beast actually possesses intelligence and knows how to sacrifice itself!"

"A sacrifice? Impossible! And it just happened to sacrifice itself to the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul!" Ghost Douluo's expression changed dramatically. He had never expected the Radiant Unicorn to choose Lin Fan as the recipient of its sacrifice.

Lin Fan was equally dumbfounded. He had never imagined that he would encounter such a once-in-a-thousand-years stroke of luck as a Soul Beast voluntarily sacrificing itself to him.

Boom!

A pillar of golden light shot into the sky. Lin Fan's first Soul Ring was—shockingly—yellow!

The eight-hundred-year Soul Ring had been successfully absorbed!

Bibi Dong: "..."

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo: "..."

Lin Fan grinned. "Teacher, I think... I succeeded?"

He was not even trying to hide it anymore!

Bibi Dong took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart before slowly saying, "...It seems the original training plan must be canceled. With your current physical condition, the training can be intensified."

"Ah, Teacher, don't." Lin Fan's face fell. He had just begun to bargain when Bibi Dong raised a hand and cut him off.

"It's settled. No objections." She tapped Lin Fan on the forehead with her fingertip. "What Soul Skill did the Radiant Unicorn give you?"

The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul appeared again. Lin Fan raised his hands together and recited, "First Soul Skill, Angel Halo!"

As soon as he spoke, a ring-shaped halo swirling with sacred golden light instantly appeared above Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's head, like an angel's crown.

"This is..." Yue Guan looked up in surprise as the halo slowly rotated, scattering specks of golden radiance.

Even more shockingly, a pair of white angel wings appeared out of thin air behind him.

Yue Guan tried gently flapping the sudden angel wings, and he actually began to rise slowly into the air. His speed varied according to the amount of Soul Power he expended.

It was as if a true angel had descended into the mortal world!

"A flight-type support skill?!" Before Ghost Douluo's cry of surprise had even faded, Yue Guan had already circled the area three times, moving so quickly that afterimages trailed through the air.

Yue Guan's face was full of disbelief as he laughed. "It actually lets me fly without using Soul Power!"

Bibi Dong nodded slightly and turned her gaze to Lin Fan. "What exactly does your Angel Halo do?"

Lin Fan answered seriously, "Those covered by the halo can temporarily gain the ability to fly, with their speed determined by the strength of their Soul Power. In addition, the halo provides three boosts—Soul Power recovery speed increases by fifteen percent."

"Resistance to attacks with dark and evil attributes increases by ten percent, and low-level negative statuses are continuously purified. The recipient's overall attributes are also increased by thirty percent. The effect lasts for five minutes, or automatically dissipates once they move more than twenty meters away from me."

"However, I can currently summon at most two Angel Halos. And if I assist someone far stronger than myself, the effects are halved."

"Good! Good! Good!" Bibi Dong praised him three times in a row, her eyes full of satisfaction.

She had originally thought Lin Fan's first Soul Ring would at most come from a Soul Beast around four hundred years old. Yet he had directly obtained the Soul Ring of an eight-hundred-year Radiant Unicorn, along with such a powerful support Soul Skill!

"We're returning to Spirit City." With a sweep of her sleeve, Bibi Dong decisively gave the order. "There probably aren't any Soul Beasts in this forest better suited to you."

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

As Titled Douluo, they naturally understood how rare Soul Beast sacrifices were. Not to mention that a Hundred-Year Soul Beast had somehow produced a Soul Skill comparable to one that only a Thousand-Year Soul Beast could grant!

This kid... was simply a monster!

Lin Fan scratched his head and chuckled. "Teacher, that means I exceeded the mission requirements, right? Is there a reward?"

"Don't get cocky. There's no reward. Next time, you won't be lucky enough to encounter another sacrifice." The corners of Bibi Dong's lips lifted slightly as she looked into the distance. "There probably aren't any Soul Beasts suitable for you in this forest. However, the exclusive Soul Hunting Forest used by descendants of Spirit Hall's upper ranks might contain Soul Beasts more compatible with you..."

Just then, a ridiculous voice suddenly rang out.

"Farts like smoke, sleep-inducing Three Pao!"

The sudden shout interrupted Bibi Dong's next words.

Lin Fan, Bibi Dong, and the two Titled Douluo all looked toward the source of the sound.

Not far ahead, two people and a pig were fleeing in panic. Behind them, a yellow Mandala Snake was hot on their heels, flicking its tongue and looking exceptionally vicious.

The Mandala Snake was about to catch the flat-haired boy running at the back. His face had gone pale with terror as the snake's jaws were about to bite his backside.

He screamed in panic, "Three Pao, block it!"
