Absorbing a Soul Ring, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

The Sword of Exorcism came down hard on the Shadow-Chasing Leopard's head. Lin Li reached out with his other hand and grabbed the claw the Shadow-Chasing Leopard had swung at him.

The claw was extremely sharp. As soon as Lin Li caught it, he felt his hand split open and begin to bleed. It was only because the bones in his hand blocked the claw that his entire palm was not pierced through.

"Roar!"

The Shadow-Chasing Leopard felt its life force rapidly draining away, yet it could not escape!

Its proud Dark Attribute ability had been suppressed, its claw was held in an iron grip, and it could not bring out any of its speed or strength. All it could do was watch helplessly as the sword in its head allowed the Death God to take its life force!

After several minutes of stalemate, the Shadow-Chasing Leopard finally lost all signs of life, and a deep-purple Soul Ring floated out.

Lin Li withdrew the Sword of Exorcism and retained only the Mahoraga Martial Soul, allowing the injury on his hand to recover. After catching his breath, Lin Li dragged the Shadow-Chasing Leopard into its nest and prepared to absorb the Soul Ring.

Powerful Spirit Beasts with attributes generally did not have other Spirit Beasts living near their nests.

Moreover, Lin Li had followed Director Su's instructions and laid traps nearby that could alert him.

"Phew... Let's begin!"

Lin Li exhaled a breath of turbid air, raising his vital energy and spirit to their peak before beginning to draw the Purple Soul Ring toward himself.

The Soul Ring, which had existed for more than five thousand years, settled onto Lin Li's body. Unlike the previous two times he had obtained Soul Rings at his limit, it did not cause him any pain, only a slight pressure.

Without even needing to adapt, Lin Li successfully obtained this Purple Third Soul Ring!

"It's still a Passive Soul Skill. All Attributes increased by one hundred percent!"

Feeling the violent power surging through his body, Lin Li felt that even without summoning his Martial Soul, he could now defeat a high-level Soul Ancestor head-on.

If he summoned his Martial Soul, then setting aside the matter of adaptation, he could even fight a Soul King. Moreover, it would be a Soul King with a top-tier Martial Soul. Ordinary Soul Kings were no longer a threat to Lin Li.

This time, his level had not increased by much. Absorbing the Soul Ring had only raised him by a little over one level, nearly bringing him to the second level.

After sensing the changes in his body, Lin Li walked over to the Shadow-Chasing Leopard's corpse and prepared to search it.

Part of him hoped that he would obtain a Spirit Bone, while another part feared that he would.

Obtaining a Spirit Bone was naturally a good thing, but if he could obtain one three times in a row, that would be far too outrageous.

Over the past few months, Lin Li had also figured something out.

Since Tang San, who was also a transmigrator, had attracted the attention of the Asura God before awakening his Martial Soul, what about him?

Could he also have attracted the attention of some god?

Lin Li was destined never to receive an answer to that question. All he could do was grow stronger.

Only by becoming stronger could he control his own fate.

Even if that so-called god was very likely to be trying to look after Lin Li, it was not certain. Lin Li could not feel at ease, so he yearned to become stronger.

After searching for a while, Lin Li pulled out a Right Leg Bone with the Dark Attribute with barely any surprise.

A five-thousand-year-old Spirit Bone with the Dark Attribute was priceless.

Lin Li put it away in his Storage Soul Ring and had no intention of absorbing it.

Now he needed to carry out the second part of his plan for coming here. Before that, he needed to find the valley where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was located.

The valley containing the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had been depicted clearly in the anime. It was a funnel-shaped depression concealed by the Poison Barrier created by Dugu Bo using the natural Poison Barrier and his Martial Soul.

Combining that with the fact that the Shrek group had hunted Spirit Beasts using the Poison Gas Barrier, the location was neither at the very core nor on the outskirts.

Most likely, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was located in a Soul Beast Zone between five thousand and fifteen thousand years old. Lin Li only needed to find a Soul Beast Zone within that range, then search slowly, and he would soon find it.

That search continued for three days.

At that moment, two groups of people left Heaven Dou City at the same time. Both groups were targeting the vanished Lin Li.

Lin Li had narrowed the unexplored area down to the absolute limit. Just as he began to suspect that his deduction was wrong, a pleasant surprise occurred.

Although he still had not seen the Poison Barrier, Lin Li had gained something.

In this area, nearly all the plants and Spirit Beasts that appeared possessed the Poison Attribute.

The interdependence and mutual restraint of ecosystems also applied to the world of Spirit Beasts.

For example, near the den of a highly poisonous snake, the only things that could survive were equally poisonous snakes and herbs capable of neutralizing poison. Everything in the world followed certain rules.

Lin Li continued following this direction. The traces of Spirit Beast activity and the plants suddenly disappeared.

When he raised his head, he saw an irregularly flowing Poison Gas Barrier wrapped around the outside of the valley.

"Found it."

Lin Li revealed a long-awaited smile and turned to walk away.

He still did not have the ability to enter. The fact that the Poison Barrier in the original story could kill ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts was proof that if Lin Li entered now, he would not even have a chance to adapt.

But he had just said that everything in the world was mutually dependent and restraining. He could completely adapt little by little by starting with other Spirit Beasts, then enter afterward.

Once his poison resistance was maxed out, Lin Li would be able to enter successfully. Even if Dugu Bo was inside, he would have nothing to fear.

The time when Dugu Bo did not keep watch over his precious Granddaughter was when the poison injuries in his body flared up again. At that time, facing Lin Li, who had adapted to the Poison Attribute, it was difficult to say who would win. In any case, Lin Li would not be threatened or killed by Dugu Bo.

Lin Li summoned the Mahoraga Martial Soul and returned to the snake den he had found earlier, pulling out the hundred-year-old Poisonous Snake inside, which was less than a meter long.

"Don't be afraid. I, Lin Li, never kill people without reason."

Lin Li reached out and forced the Poisonous Snake's mouth open with his immense strength. Then he extended his other hand and touched its fangs.

"Hiss..."

Lin Li looked at his finger. A tiny hole had already appeared on it, and several drops of snake venom had entered his body.

"Click, click!"

The Dharma Wheel began to turn, and Lin Li waited patiently.

After a while, the first adaptation was complete. Lin Li felt the snake venom disappear from his body, and his resistance to snake venom had reached fifty percent.

Of course, this was largely because the venom of a hundred-year-old Poisonous Snake was relatively simple. Mahoraga had easily analyzed it and adapted to it.

For safety's sake, Lin Li chose to find several more kinds of poison. Whether it was snake venom or another kind of poison, even plant poison, he did not let any of it go, adapting bit by bit.

Soon, Lin Li looked at the purple patterns that had appeared on his body with satisfaction.

The purple stripes seemed to possess a mesmerizing charm, giving Lin Li's aura a bewitching quality and making his entire person appear a little more delicate and feminine.

Without paying much attention to his appearance, Lin Li walked to the outside of the Poison Barrier and extended a hand into it.

"Click, click!"

The sound of the Dharma Wheel turning rang out. After only a few seconds, another sound followed. It was spinning extremely quickly!

Lin Li could see that even though he had adapted to all the poison around the outskirts, his hand still showed slight signs of rotting!

"As expected of the poison of Poison Douluo, who slaughtered an entire city alone..."

"But... this degree should be about enough."

"Click, click!"

The first adaptation was complete, and Lin Li's hand returned to normal!
