Breakthrough Level Thirty

Although the Eight-Winged Black Gold Dragon was a super soul beast, its cultivation was only four thousand years. It could barely contend with Li Fu, who had the cultivation of a Soul Saint. After half an hour of stalemate, it gradually showed signs of weakness.

With its considerable intelligence, it knew it had encountered a tough opponent. It roared, unleashing its full power, and flung three wind blades at Li Fu, appearing ready to fight to the death.

Li Fu didn't confront it head-on. He dodged nimbly, his body taut, always prepared for the Eight-Winged Black Gold Dragon to charge and fight desperately.

"Roar!!!!"

The Eight-Winged Black Gold Dragon roared to the sky, glared fiercely at Li Fu, noted his appearance, and then its eight huge black wings flapped violently. It turned and flew away.

It was not a hot-blooded beast that would fight to the death even when outmatched; that was the foolishness called hot-bloodedness.

Fight if you can win, flee if you can't. This was its consistent principle.

Seeing this, Li Fu was stunned, and Qin Yuan was bewildered.

Wait, it had just roared to the sky, looking like it was about to fight to the death, so why did it run?

Seeing that the ultimate soul ring was about to escape, Qin Yuan panicked and shouted to Li Fu:

"Uncle Fu, don't let it escape! I've got it!"

Li Fu nodded immediately and then activated his Martial Soul True Body. A giant Shadow Leopard appeared and gave chase to the Eight-Winged Black Gold Dragon.

But Li Fu soon discovered that with its eight dragon wings, the Eight-Winged Black Gold Dragon was too fast. He couldn't catch up, and the distance between them grew.

Seeing this, Li Fu's eyes became exceptionally firm, as if he had made a decision.

It was time to repay his debt of gratitude.

He grunted, and his glossy black fur was suddenly dyed with a rich blood-red light. His speed surged, and his power also increased severalfold, even comparable to that of a Soul Douluo.

The distance between Li Fu and the Eight-Winged Black Gold Dragon shrank at a visible rate.

Before long, Li Fu caught up to the Eight-Winged Black Gold Dragon. The Eight-Winged Black Gold Dragon was terrified, not understanding how the human's speed had suddenly increased so much.

What shocked it even more was that the human's strength was far greater than before. It was no match for him at all.

Soon, under Li Fu's powerful assault, the Eight-Winged Black Gold Dragon let out a shrill cry, blood splattering everywhere. Its body was almost torn apart by the Shadow Leopard Li Fu had transformed into.

Finally, the Eight-Winged Black Gold Dragon crashed down, lying in a deep pit, on the verge of death. Its eyes were filled with terror and resentment as it looked at Li Fu.

Li Fu stared coldly at it, said nothing, and turned to leave. Soon, he brought Qin Yuan over.

The Eight-Winged Black Gold Dragon could only watch helplessly as the human youth approached with his sword. It struggled with all its might but to no avail, and finally died with unwillingness.

A deep purple soul ring slowly condensed above the corpse of the Eight-Winged Black Gold Dragon, profound and beautiful.

"Uncle Fu, help me guard."

Qin Yuan instructed, then excitedly sat down on the ground to absorb the soul ring.

Li Fu withdrew from his Martial Soul True Body state. His face was as pale as paper, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood mist. His aura became extremely weak, and his back hunched as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant.

He looked at the handsome young man sitting in the deep pit absorbing the soul ring with his aged eyes, his gaze complex and relieved. He smiled inwardly with great ease:

"Young Master's immense kindness, I have finally managed to repay a tiny fraction of it."

His thoughts drifted back to that night five years ago. It was Qin Yuan who gave him the opportunity for revenge, to avenge all his deceased loved ones. At that time, he had sworn to dedicate his life to this child.

Suddenly, he grunted, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. His face turned even paler, and his body swayed. He suddenly collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily and weakly, appearing severely injured and near death.

Heh, I'm old after all, useless. I hope I can hold on until Young Master leaves the Star Dou Great Forest... Li Fu chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Immersed in refining the soul ring, Qin Yuan was unaware of Li Fu's condition. He was merely surprised to find that the soul ring of the Eight-Winged Black Gold Dragon, with only four thousand years of cultivation, was much more difficult to refine than that of the Three-Clawed Dark Gold Dragon, putting him under great pressure.

As expected of a super soul beast... Qin Yuan felt both moved and excited. He knew his second soul skill would likely exceed his expectations.

Three hours passed, and the sky gradually darkened. Qin Yuan finally finished absorbing the soul ring of the Eight-Winged Black Gold Dragon.

His soul power began to climb again.

Level twenty-six... level twenty-eight... level twenty-nine...

As expected, his soul power easily broke through level thirty.

Finally, his Soul Power Level settled at thirty-two!

At the same time, information about his second soul skill automatically appeared in his mind.

Second Soul Skill - Golden Dragon God Transformation: All attributes increased by 100%, no negative side effects, lasts for one hour.

"All attributes increased by 100%!!!"

Even though he had expected it, Qin Yuan was still greatly shocked.

He clearly remembered that in the original work, Oscar's fourth soul skill, Excited Pink Sausage, only had the effect of increasing one's own attributes by 10% after consumption, with no side effects. That was already astonishing.

His, however, was a terrifying 100% increase in all attributes, also with no side effects.

Qin Yuan jumped up excitedly. It was indeed the soul ring of the super soul beast, the Eight-Winged Black Gold Dragon!

Just as he couldn't resist sharing his joy with Li Fu, he suddenly noticed that Li Fu at the edge of the pit had a terrifyingly pale complexion and his aura was as weak as a candle in the wind, about to be extinguished at any moment.

"Uncle Fu, what's wrong?" Qin Yuan asked, surprised and worried, rushing forward.

"Heh heh, Young Master, it's nothing," Li Fu said with a weak smile. "It's just that from now on, Li Fu will no longer be able to accompany Young Master. Please forgive me."

Hearing this, Qin Yuan fell silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed:

"I knew it. Uncle Fu's sudden surge of power against the Eight-Winged Black Gold Dragon couldn't have come without a price, but I never expected the side effects to be this severe. This was my oversight."

"Young Master, this is my fault. It has nothing to do with you," Li Fu said hastily.

"Heh, Uncle Fu, you were my very first guard," Qin Yuan suddenly chuckled.

"I can't let you die like this."

"But Young Master, I..." Li Fu opened his mouth, wanting to say more but stopping himself.

Qin Yuan said nothing, merely smiling as he slowly raised his right hand and placed it on Li Fu's hunched back. He circulated his soul power, and an intensely concentrated ball of white light emerged from his palm.

This white light was gentle, warm, sacred, and filled with an extreme vitality and purifying power that would have astonished even the Life Goddess into silence.

As this white light flowed into Li Fu's near-lifeless body, his body, on the verge of extinction, was like parched earth receiving heavenly rain, rapidly becoming vibrant with life.

Even old wounds were quickly recovering and healing.

Li Fu's old eyes widened instantly, his mouth agape. He stood frozen in place, shocked and awestruck.

"What, what is this..."

Watching Li Fu stare in stunned disbelief, Qin Yuan smiled faintly.

"You can think of it as a healing soul skill."

"A healing soul skill?" Li Fu had never seen a healing soul skill that could replenish life force itself.

Qin Yuan didn't explain in detail. After all, [Life Miracle] was a divine ability he had obtained along with his cheat panel. Although it wasn't a martial soul, its effects were incredibly heaven-defying.
