Fusion Successful, First Soul Ring, Thousand Years! (Please Bookmark and Follow; Following Is Very Important~ Thank You All

Ye Linyuan sized up the fierce tiger a few times and nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, Teacher."

The Wind Thunder Demon Tiger stared at Ye Linyuan and Du Busi, suspicion and alarm shining in its savage eyes.

Clearly, the auras of these two humans were weak, especially that Mediterranean Green-Haired Old Man, who seemed not to have the slightest fluctuation of Soul Power.

Why did they look so fearless in the face of a powerful thousand-year soul beast like itself?

Although thousand-year soul beasts were far more intelligent than hundred-year soul beasts, they had yet to truly develop their minds.

It had no idea that among human soul masters, top experts possessed a deadly passive skill: concealing their Soul Power fluctuations!

"Roar—!"

The Wind Thunder Demon Tiger could no longer suppress its bloodthirsty instincts and prepared to attack.

A layer of cyan-purple light suddenly enveloped its body.

The next instant.

The Wind Thunder Demon Tiger vanished from where it stood.

The cyan-purple flash streaked past with the crackle of lightning and the howl of raging wind, appearing before the two of them as though it had teleported.

A foul wind rushed at them!

Ye Linyuan was slightly startled and blurted out, "What incredible speed!"

Du Busi merely snorted and lightly raised a hand.

A massive dark-green hand formed from Soul Power suddenly appeared above the Wind Thunder Demon Tiger's head and smashed down viciously amid its stunned gaze.

"Bang!"

With a tremendous muffled boom, every bone in the Wind Thunder Demon Tiger's body shattered. It was gravely wounded, with only its final breath remaining!

Du Busi said blandly,

"The Wind Thunder Demon Tiger has a fierce and sinister temperament. It excels in speed, and its strength and offensive power are not weak either. It enjoys tormenting and slaughtering its prey, making it quite troublesome among soul beasts of the same level."

"But if the gap in cultivation is too great, its speed means nothing."

"Go on, Lin Yuan."

Ye Linyuan nodded in surprise, stepped forward, and activated Martial Soul Possession.

His gleaming tail hook lashed out, instantly piercing through the Wind Thunder Demon Tiger's eye socket and into its brain, thoroughly extinguishing its last trace of life.

Very soon.

A dazzling purple Soul Ring rose from the Wind Thunder Demon Tiger's corpse and slowly pulsed in midair.

Ye Linyuan took a deep breath and sat down cross-legged on the spot.

With a light touch of his spiritual power, the Soul Ring was drawn toward him and merged into his body.

Du Busi came before Ye Linyuan and watched him with blazing eyes.

A top-tier soul beast that had never appeared on the continent before, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and an unprecedented first Soul Ring of a thousand years.

How powerful would Ye Linyuan become once those two factors were combined?

Heh, it had been a long time since he had looked forward to something this much!

As the Soul Ring entered his body, its violent energy exploded instantly.

The dying remnant will of the Wind Thunder Demon Tiger transformed into a tide of Soul Power and a mental storm, attempting to drown the human who had killed it.

Ye Linyuan's body trembled as both Martial Souls were activated at once.

The fierce, malevolent aura of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Martial Soul strengthened his body, while the sacred attribute of the Exquisite Sacred Heart helped guard his soul.

The two Martial Souls complemented and fused with each other, forging Ye Linyuan's body into an impregnable fortress that firmly withstood the impact of the Wind Thunder Demon Tiger's Soul Ring energy.

A gray phantom quietly appeared within the Exquisite Sacred Heart, curiously sensing everything.

Recalling his previous insights from absorbing the Unicorn Soul Ring's energy, Electrolux pondered,

"So this is the cultivation method of the Douluo Continent? Interesting."

"The energy within a soul beast's Soul Ring seems to contain an exceedingly small portion of the power of planar laws."

"The process of fusing a Soul Ring is actually a soul master absorbing these powers and, through their Martial Soul, converting the soul beast's laws of power into laws of power more suited to themselves, thereby growing stronger and advancing?"

"The Way of Heaven takes from those with excess to make up for those in need."

"Although the cultivation process of the Douluo Continent differs from that of the Holy Demon Continent, their essence leads to the same destination."

"So that was it. This old man seems to understand now," Electrolux said with a sigh.

It had to be said that Electrolux was indeed worthy of being called the Holy Necromancer.

His experience in cultivation and understanding of the essence of power far surpassed that of ordinary people.

With his powerful Divine Sense, Electrolux had actually grasped the most fundamental cultivation principles of humanity on the Douluo Continent merely by observing Ye Linyuan fuse a Soul Ring.

It was truly terrifying!

Feeling the tide of Soul Power within Ye Linyuan's body, Electrolux murmured, "A Soul Ring is the remnant of a soul beast's own power, but that power is violent and chaotic."

"Unless one's spiritual power reaches an extremely high realm, a soul master simply cannot filter out and control the laws of power they need for fusion."

At that, Electrolux shook his head and sighed. "This method of cultivation, which converts the power of soul beasts, is direct and efficient, but it is truly rather mindless. It greatly restricts humanity's path of cultivation and lacks innovation and exploration."

After thinking for a moment, he said solemnly, "Lin Yuan, follow your master's guidance and absorb that cyan-purple energy."

"If this master's senses are correct, the laws of power contained in that light should be this soul beast's most powerful ability."

Ye Linyuan's spirits rose, and he said delightedly, "Yes, then I'll have to trouble Elder Yi!"

Under the guidance of Electrolux's Divine Sense, a violent and ferocious strand of cyan-purple energy immediately became clear within Ye Linyuan's perception.

It was like being illuminated by a spotlight amid a chaotic crowd, becoming plainly visible.

From the Soul Power fluctuations emanating from that cyan-purple energy, Ye Linyuan made a delighted discovery.

They were remarkably similar to the Soul Power fluctuations when the Wind Thunder Demon Tiger had attacked earlier. It seemed to be the very ability that had allowed the Wind Thunder Demon Tiger to charge in for the kill as though teleporting!

Ye Linyuan firmly locked onto that cyan-purple energy and guided it into the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Martial Soul.

Outside.

Du Busi watched his precious disciple, blessed by the gods, ready to handle any accident at any moment.

Although his examination showed that Ye Linyuan's physical constitution should be enough to withstand a thousand-year Soul Ring.

Such a drastic leap beyond the limit in absorbing a Soul Ring still involved too much uncertainty. How could he dare relax even slightly?

Fortunately.

Although the Soul Power fluctuations emanating from Ye Linyuan were violent, there were no signs of them spiraling out of control.

As time passed, Du Busi gradually relaxed as well, secretly letting out a breath of relief.

The most dangerous moment of fusing a Soul Ring was the instant it was first absorbed into the body.

As long as one survived the fierce initial impact of the Soul Ring, there generally would not be any further problems.

Half an hour later.

The Soul Power fluctuations around Ye Linyuan finally began to calm, eventually withdrawing completely.

"The fusion succeeded!"

Du Busi's spirits surged, and he hurried to Ye Linyuan's side.

Ye Linyuan's eyelids trembled lightly before slowly opening.

Du Busi looked at him eagerly and could not help asking, "Lin Yuan, what Thousand-Year Soul Skill did you obtain?"

A hint of joy appeared on Ye Linyuan's face.

He stood and activated Martial Soul Possession.

"Roar—!"

Along with a deep tiger's roar.

Ye Linyuan's body suddenly expanded, and the lines of his powerful muscles became clearly visible.

His originally black eyes instantly turned blood-red, his black hair transformed into an eerie dark purple, and a pair of black wings unfolded from his back.

His hands became tiger claws, black fur covering his palms completely.

As his ten fingers flexed, dagger-like claws flickered in and out of sight, gleaming with a cold and sinister light.

Behind him, a savage scorpion tail composed entirely of bone segments was raised high, its tail hook exuding a chilly, malevolent aura.

Most eye-catching of all was the purple Soul Ring around his waist, slowly pulsing.

His first Soul Ring, a thousand years old!
