Top-Tier Spirit Ring

Qin Tian had his own ideas regarding his next soul skill. His first and second soul skills were both augmentation types, lacking a single offensive skill; if he were to engage in combat, relying solely on his powerful physical body would not suffice.

If he were to go head-to-head with a Power Attack type, he wouldn't be afraid, and he wouldn't panic against an Agility Attack type either, but if he ran into a Control type, that would be...

The age of his third soul ring must be ten thousand years. An offensive soul skill from a ten-thousand-year soul ring would be useful even after reaching the Title Douluo realm.

Furthermore, the age of the third soul ring he intended to acquire would not be low; it would be at least fifteen thousand years, which already surpassed the fifth soul ring of an average Soul King.

Since arriving at the Worship Hall to cultivate half a year ago, his improvements had been immense; his physical body was now comparable to a Soul Emperor, and his mental power was on par with a high-level Soul King.

Over the past six months, daily training combined with medicinal baths had allowed him to completely absorb the residual medicinal efficacy of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, the Infernal Delicate Apricot, and the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew within his body.

Qin Tian had considered whether he should absorb another immortal herb, but this thought was suppressed as soon as it arose, simply because he still felt some worry in his heart—what if there was still medicinal residue in his body?

Star Dou Great Forest.

With Golden Crocodile Douluo present, the three of them bypassed the outer perimeter directly and arrived at the mixed region.

"Xiao Tian, what kind of soul beast are you planning to choose as your third soul ring?"

"A Sacred attribute? A Light attribute? Or a tiger-type soul beast?"

Qin Tian listened to Golden Crocodile Douluo's words and, after a moment of contemplation, gave his answer.

"Second Grandpa, I want a powerful offensive soul skill. It doesn't have to be limited to Sacred, Light, or tiger-type soul beasts, as long as it can provide me with a powerful attack."

Golden Crocodile Douluo listened to Qin Tian's words and began to ponder.

Ling Yuan glanced at Golden Crocodile Douluo before speaking slowly, "For a powerful offensive soul skill, there is actually a decent soul beast, but I only encountered that soul beast when I was helping someone hunt soul beasts years ago. I don't know if it's still there now."

Golden Crocodile Douluo and Qin Tian listened to Ling Yuan and both looked at her.

"Ling Yuan, what kind of soul beast is it?"

Ling Yuan heard Golden Crocodile Douluo's question and immediately stated the name of the soul beast.

"Second Worship, it is a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear."

"A Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear?"

Upon hearing this name, Qin Tian immediately became interested.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is a super soul beast with a powerful bloodline and extremely formidable attack and defense capabilities.

"A Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is indeed a good choice. If you use it for your third soul ring, that would be acceptable."

Qin Tian listened to Golden Crocodile Douluo's words, and his mind was already made up.

"Elder Ling Yuan, please lead the way. I want the soul ring of this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear as my third soul ring."

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear has incredibly powerful offensive capabilities. Don't forget, the patriarch of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan, Xiong Jun, could even injure the Beast God Di Tian with his Tearing Sky Claw.

The Beast God Di Tian, whose true form is the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, possesses a cultivation of eight hundred thousand years.

The fact that Xiong Jun could injure him shows just how powerful his attacks are.

Led by Ling Yuan, the three arrived at a valley.

Golden Crocodile Douluo frowned slightly, a trace of disappointment appearing in his eyes.

"It's not here. It seems this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear has been hunted by others."

Hearing this, a trace of disappointment also appeared in Qin Tian's eyes.

The three left the valley and continued their search for soul beasts.

During this time, they encountered quite a few soul beasts.

A twelve-thousand-year Earth-Splitting Bear, a thirty-thousand-year Golden-Armored Ox, a forty-thousand-year Diamond Great Ape...

However, Qin Tian didn't take a fancy to any of them. The three searched all the way, and before they knew it, the sky had dimmed.

Sister Ling Yuan took out three tents that had been prepared in advance, and seeing this, Qin Tian immediately stepped forward to help.

Golden Crocodile Douluo watched the two setting up the tents, scanned the surroundings, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Ling Yuan, you stay here and protect Xiao Tian. I'll go see if there are any suitable soul beasts."

"Yes, Second Worship."

Golden Crocodile Douluo's figure vanished. Seeing this, Qin Tian took the prepared food out of his storage Soul Tool.

"Sister Ling Yuan, see if this suits your taste."

Ling Yuan Douluo took it, a smile appearing on her face.

"Your sister here doesn't have that many requirements; as long as it's edible, it's fine."

Qin Tian ate his food while contemplating whether he should lower his requirements.

Time passed in a flash; in the blink of an eye, three hours had gone by.

"Xiao Tian."

The voice of Golden Crocodile Douluo rang in his ears. Qin Tian, who was meditating, immediately opened his eyes. He followed the sound, saw Golden Crocodile Douluo, and stood up at once.

"Second Grandpa, you're back."

Golden Crocodile Douluo wore a smile on his face, his mood excellent.

"Little Tian, you're in luck; we've found a soul beast suitable for you."

Qin Tian became interested upon hearing these words.

"Second Grandfather, what kind of soul beast is it?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo glanced at Ling Yuan and said with a smile, "A Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. It should be the one Ling Yuan mentioned."

"It wasn't hunted by anyone else; it just moved to a different location."

Hearing that it was a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, a smile appeared on Qin Tian's face.

"It seems this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and I are fated; it is destined to become my third soul ring."

Qin Tian and Ling Yuan followed Golden Crocodile Douluo to the location, and upon seeing the giant bear not far away, his eyes were filled with shock.

Its dark gold fur looked like armor, its arms hung past its knees, and its dual claws shimmered with golden light, revealing their sharpness.

"Little Tian, the age of this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear should be around eighteen thousand years. Do you have the confidence to absorb its soul ring?"

Qin Tian nodded solemnly, "Second Grandfather, as long as it doesn't exceed twenty thousand years, it will be fine."

Hearing Qin Tian's words, Golden Crocodile Douluo did not hesitate any longer; he activated Martial Soul Possession and headed toward the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

Watching the battle between Golden Crocodile Douluo and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Qin Tian felt great anticipation in his heart.

The attack power of a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is formidable; if he could obtain this attack method, he could make up for his current lack of offensive capability.

Half an hour later, Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice rang out.

"Little Tian, come and deliver the final blow."

Golden Crocodile Douluo deactivated his Martial Soul Possession. Even though the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was a super soul beast with an age as high as eighteen thousand years, it was simply no match for Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Qin Tian arrived at Golden Crocodile Douluo's side. Looking at the dying Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, he took a short sword from his storage Soul Tool and thrust it fiercely into its eye.

After the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear died, specks of black light surged from its body, and a moment later, they condensed into a black soul ring.

Feeling the energy within the black soul ring, Qin Tian swallowed hard.

"Little Tian, the energy of this soul ring is so strong that it rivals that of a normal soul beast of forty or fifty thousand years. Are you truly certain?"

Qin Tian's expression was grave, and a trace of hesitation flickered in his heart; the intensity of this soul ring's energy had already exceeded his expectations.

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Tian stopped wavering, his gaze fixed firmly on the black soul ring.

"Second Grandfather, I can do it."

As he finished speaking, Qin Tian sat cross-legged, circulated his soul power to draw the soul ring toward him, and began to absorb this top-tier soul ring.

Seeing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo could only sigh helplessly. Having spent half a year together, how could he not understand Qin Tian's character and temperament? All he could do now was stand guard for him.
