Immediately, Yu Daoyun approached the Golden Armor Piercer King, raised his Dragon Spear, and thrust it out, ending the life of the Golden Armor Piercer King.

Instantly, golden blood flowed from the Soul Beast.

Under everyone's gaze, a black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring rose from the Golden Armor Piercer King's corpse, and Yu Daoyun sat cross-legged to begin absorbing it.

This was Yu Daoyun's first time fusing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, and he still felt pain.

The Golden Armor Piercer King was no ordinary Soul Beast. Possessing the Golden Bloodline, it was not adept at offense, but had focused the bloodline's enhancements entirely on defense, which was why it could withstand so many rounds of attacks.

However, the Golden Bloodline still possessed immense impact.

If it were the previous Yu Daoyun, he might have been pressured by the Soul Ring to the point of physical injury.

But at this moment, he had already fused with the Dragon Core and possessed the essence of the Golden Dragon King.

How dare a mere Golden Bloodline be presumptuous before a Dragon King?

Sit down obediently!

An hour later, the frenzied aura gradually stabilized. The Soul Rings surrounding Yu Daoyun now numbered four, and his soul power reached level forty-three.

Three Blood Essence Soul Rings and one Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, surpassing the optimal Soul Ring ratio.

If he could unlock all the seals left by the Golden Dragon King in the future, all his Soul Rings could become million-year ones.

At this moment.

Yan Shaozhe and the others watched Yu Daoyun perfectly absorb the Soul Ring, and the heavy burden in their hearts finally lifted.

Success!

The fourth ring, a Ten Thousand Year one.

Ma Xiaotao's lips curved upwards as she said, "Peanut, what's your fourth Soul Skill? Release it and let me see?"

"Ma Xiaotao, you're really impolite..." Yu Daoyun said calmly, "It's nothing special, just a defensive Soul Skill, a perfect inheritance of the Golden Armor Piercer King's talent."

The few students present immediately showed disappointment.

"Just a defensive Soul Skill!"

"That Golden Armor Piercer King with the Golden Bloodline was too weak, bestowing a useless Soul Skill."

Yan Shaozhe, upon hearing it was a defensive Soul Skill, couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

"The position of Sea God Pavilion Master in the future, Xiaotao can also contend for it."

Zhang Lexuan, however, smiled and said, "A defensive Soul Skill is very good. Many of our students have defensive Soul Skills; they can save your life at critical moments. And with junior's strong burst power, combined with a defensive Soul Skill, he's almost invincible."

"Exactly!" Han Ruoruo also stood up to speak for her junior, accusing Ma Xiaotao and the others of having no foresight.

Yu Daoyun's heart warmed at their words, and he added, "It's an absolute defense Soul Skill. It provides absolute defense based on the opponent's strength. For example, I can withstand an attack from a Titled Douluo, but if it's someone my age, it would last for more than ten seconds."

Upon hearing this, everyone changed their dismissive attitude.

What did they just hear?

An absolute defense Soul Skill? It was equivalent to having a level nine invincibility shield.

Ma Xiaotao teased, "Really? Then I want to try it and see if your absolute defense is real."

"You're too weak..."

Yu Daoyun said without reservation, then turned to Yan Shaozhe, "Dean, you can try. I should be able to withstand it for 0.6 seconds."

Saying that, he released his fourth Soul Skill, "Dragon King Shield."

Yan Shaozhe's interest was piqued.

It was the first time he had heard of an absolute defense Soul Skill, and he genuinely felt like testing it. He unleashed a ball of fire.

Although this ball of fire appeared weak, its attack power reached the level of a Soul Douluo, and its power was definitely not small.

Even if there was an accident, it wouldn't kill Yu Daoyun.

Boom--!

The ball of fire impacted the golden shield and exploded instantly, but it did not harm Yu Daoyun.

It took more than a second for the firelight to completely dissipate.

Seeing this, Yan Shaozhe could only silently give a thumbs-up and say, "Your family's Soul Skills are truly amazing. I've lived my whole life without seeing an absolute defense Soul Skill, and I've seen one on you."

"If you use this Soul Skill well, it's equivalent to Mu En protecting you at all times."

Yu Daoyun put his hands behind his back, like a proud reclusive master, and said calmly, "Low profile, low profile. I'm just a legend."

Except for Ma Xiaotao, Zhang Lexuan and the other girls burst into goose-like laughter.

This junior was truly interesting; even his words were so amusing.

Yan Shaozhe called out, "Alright, we need to hurry and find the second Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast. Dean Lin'er is urging me."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan and the others immediately stopped smiling, tidied up their team, and set off.

Suddenly, Xian Lin'er's shocked voice came through, "Shaozhe, quickly lead the students back! A Ten Thousand Year level Soul Beast is charging towards you."

The group instantly became vigilant, ready to fight at any moment.

However, Yan Shaozhe merely chuckled and replied, "Lin'er, since when has a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast been enough to make your expression change so drastically? We have two Super Douluo leading this team; we have nothing to fear, even from a hundred-thousand-year Fierce Beast."

"Unless it's a tens-of-thousands-year-old Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, or that most terrifying bear in the forest, there is no way we would be afraid."

Xian Lin'er cursed, "I told you to retreat, so retreat! That Soul Beast is the Imperial Auspicious Beast. A Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear isn't even fit to tie its shoes, and it's heading straight for us right now."

What... an Auspicious Beast!

Yan Shaozhe's expression finally changed. His seventh Soul Ring flared to life as he entered his Martial Soul Avatar state, shielding all the students behind him.

The Imperial Auspicious Beast itself was not terrifying; what was terrifying was the beast's bloodline and status.

This type of Soul Beast symbolized the destiny of all Soul Beasts and possessed intangible powers of auspiciousness, and more importantly, it was guarded by Fierce Beasts.

In other words, they were now surrounded by Fierce Beasts.

Just then, a golden afterimage flashed rapidly through the surrounding woods, and a Soul Beast covered in golden fur charged out, launching an attack toward them.

It looked much like a lion, yet it was translucent like crystal, with dragon-like claws and golden vertical pupils.

After a few rounds of attacks, Yan Shaozhe could only defend passively, not daring to strike back.

He had to protect these children; he could not allow any accidents to befall the future of the academy.

Soon, Xian Lin'er descended to provide support, engaging the Imperial Auspicious Beast in combat as both sides unleashed terrifying waves of soul power.

The earth shook and the mountains swayed, with thunderous roars echoing incessantly.

At this moment.

Yu Daoyun, who was being shielded behind Yan Shaozhe, felt his heart skip a beat as he realized why the Imperial Auspicious Beast had launched an attack on them.

Only a few people knew that the Auspicious Beast liked to eat brains.

Naturally, the Golden Armor Piercer King, which also possessed a Golden Bloodline, had become the breakfast of the Auspicious Beast, and it had to flee for its life to avoid being eaten.

Since they had just hunted the Golden Armor Piercer King, they had naturally provoked the Auspicious Beast.

However, this was also a good thing; at least this time they had the reliable Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er, rather than Xuan Zi, who was prone to dropping the ball.

If Xuan Zi had been leading the team, they would have been in real trouble this time.

At this moment, after Xian Lin'er and the Auspicious Beast had exchanged dozens of blows, both sides retreated and stood in a standoff.

Xian Lin'er was a level 95 Martial God Douluo and could naturally defeat the Auspicious Beast, but she kept holding back her soul power, not daring to go all out.

If anything happened to the Auspicious Beast, the Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest would go insane.

Yan Shaozhe immediately said, "Imperial Auspicious Beast, Shrek Academy has no intention of becoming enemies with all Soul Beasts. We are only here to bring our students to hunt for Soul Rings; do not go too far."

The Imperial Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, flew into a rage and shouted, "You stole my breakfast! You deserve to die!!"

Breakfast... Yan Shaozhe was momentarily speechless and said, "When did we steal your breakfast? Even if you want to frame someone, you need evidence. If you continue to act so recklessly, do you really think Shrek is a pushover?"

Xian Lin'er chimed in, "We address you as an Auspicious Beast out of respect for your status. If you weren't an Auspicious Beast, I would have wanted to skewer you to death with my spear already."
