Wind-Thunder Magic Bear

Lei Mo ignored everything, acting like a madman. Strike after strike, he attacked without a shred of defense, trusting Franklin to handle the corrections.

Every one of Lei Mo's blows landed squarely on the Wind-Thunder Magic Bear. The beast, usually known for its speed, was terrified—why couldn't it dodge?

Why is this human's speed not even that fast, yet I cannot dodge? My internal organs are already hemorrhaging; if this continues, I will perish here!

The Wind-Thunder Magic Bear thought with inner despair!

Although Franklin's true form had grown to over a dozen meters in length, to the Wind-Thunder Magic Bear, he still looked like a thin bamboo pole.

"Boom—" The destructive energy vibrated and transmitted, but as it passed through the bear's several-meter-thick hide and flesh, much of it was dissipated and absorbed by the tremors.

Then, even more destructive energy vibrated into the Wind-Thunder Magic Bear's body, repeating the cycle and continuously ravaging its internal organs.

The bear's heart sank further. It didn't know that Lei Mo had come specifically for it, and it was filled with regret.

If I had run the moment I discovered this human, he certainly wouldn't have chased me. My speed isn't something he could easily keep up with!

The Wind-Thunder Magic Bear's head grew increasingly muddled, its body heavier, and its movements more sluggish.

Finally, it collapsed, unwilling to the end. A mixture of what could have been blood or tears flowed from its mouth, nose, and eyes, looking utterly miserable.

"Sigh! What a pity. Although Tagore gave me a ring with a larger space, it's still only a dozen cubic meters. It can't fit the body of this Saint-level Magic Beast."

Lei Mo felt a bit emotional. If only Franklin's Soul Space could store items. As this thought crossed Lei Mo's mind, "Rumble—" The space shook, and the corpse of the Wind-Thunder Magic Bear vanished!

"No way?" I was just thinking about it.

Immediately, Lei Mo's soul consciousness descended into Franklin's space. The massive bear body, over fifty meters long and nearly twenty meters high, was floating quietly in this space shimmering with seven-colored light.

"It really came in. Could it be that I didn't discover this function before because I lacked such a strong desire? So the ability didn't manifest?"

"Master—letting this guy in consumed nearly one-tenth of my soul power!" Franklin's voice rang in Lei Mo's mind. If he had eyes, they would surely be filled with resentment right now!

"Oh—so it consumes your power. No wonder I hadn't discovered this function!" Lei Mo felt a bit embarrassed.

But it was only one-tenth of his soul power. Recovery might be slow, but it would recover eventually. A Saint-level Magic Beast corpse was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Boom—" The Wind-Thunder Magic Bear's corpse was moved back out. Thankfully, moving it out didn't consume soul energy.

Lei Mo took out many containers, catching the Wind-Thunder Magic Bear's blood while it was still warm, and added herbal powder to prevent it from coagulating.

He blasted an entrance through the eye socket, entered the bear's head, and dug out the egg-sized magic core that shimmered with purple-blue light.

This Saint-level Dual-Element Magic Crystal Core had thirty-six facets and was crystal clear, far more beautiful than the finest diamond on Earth.

Inside, purple and cyan energies intertwined, occasionally dispersing and then condensing.

Seeing the breathtaking beauty within the crystal core, an immature idea began to take shape in Lei Mo's mind. His consciousness descended into the space, beginning to search for the Wind-Thunder Magic Bear's soul.

His consciousness arrived in an instant. Looking at the somewhat dull, bear-shaped soul, Lei Mo's brain spun rapidly, his imagination running wild.

The Wind-Thunder Magic Bear's core contains two elemental laws, so does its soul also contain two law talents?

This was a question worth long-term research, Lei Mo thought.

After comprehending Franklin's runes, theoretically, the soul is immortal—at least it won't die the first time, but will return to the Soul Space.

Then, is there a possibility: use soul attacks on Saint-level Magic Beasts that have mastered multiple elements. If they die—I get the soul; if they don't—there's a possibility of soul mutation.

Lei Mo's wild idea wasn't actually that far-fetched; it was just a bit costly in terms of magic beasts.

Without Franklin's Soul Space as a safeguard, the possibility of a soul mutation would be infinitesimal.

Even if one died during the mutation process and became a rune soul, who knew if it could continue to mutate?

Based on Lei Mo's understanding of that world, soul mutations were common across countless planes; it was just that the vast majority died before their souls could undergo metamorphosis.

"Ah! Haha—I really am a clever little devil!"

Lei Mo truly had some ideas. This was utilizing a magic beast's life to the absolute limit.

Neither soul nor body could escape the control of these two devils, Franklin and Lei Mo. Once you start comprehending runes, the depth is like the sea!

Holding the Wind-Thunder Magic Bear's magic core while plotting how to use its soul, and having already packed away its body—this was truly devilish efficiency.

Although his imagination was wild, it did have a certain feasibility, but it couldn't be realized yet. The eight pillars were still in the Chaos Plateau.

He had the Saint-level magic core of the Divine Wind Bear, but now he lacked the blood of a water-type Saint-level Magic Beast. If only Bailey had blood.

He wondered how Franklin had been training Bailey and if it could communicate normally. Lei Mo took something out of his pocket—well, a marble—and dropped it on the ground.

Bailey bounced on the ground and returned to a diameter of about thirty centimeters. Yes, diameter; it was basically close to a sphere, so using diameter was quite appropriate.

"Do you have blood in your body? Like this?" As he spoke, Lei Mo cut his finger and dripped a drop of fresh blood onto Bailey.

The blood quickly sank into Bailey's body. After a while—

"Master's master, can I have a few more drops?" The air vibrated, producing a sound.

"Are you kidding me? I was the one asking you for blood, and you want me to bleed first? Who is the master? Are you some kind of ancestor?"

Lei Mo rolled his eyes and complained.

"Master's master, I feel your blood is helpful to me! I do have blood, but I haven't been born for long. I might only have a dozen drops in my entire body!"

"Only a dozen drops of blood in total? Then I suppose there isn't even a single drop of essence blood, right?"

Lei Mo felt somewhat helpless; Bailey was truly too small, and he couldn't just bleed the little guy to death, could he?

Even if its soul were to remain, this creature—suspected to be a divine beast—would no longer need to be suspected of anything, as its bloodline would be completely gone.

"Then what use is my blood to you? Don't tell me it helps you increase your vital essence?" Lei Mo spouted nonsense.

"Yes, Master's master!" Bailey responded directly.

"Fine!" Lei Mo began to draw blood with little enthusiasm. After drawing a few hundred milliliters, Bailey stopped absorbing it.

Following this, Bailey's entire body lit up with a deep blue radiance, and its size gradually increased. In no time, it grew from thirty centimeters in diameter to fifty, and it was still slowly expanding.

"Is it really that effective? You aren't just getting bigger to fool me, are you?"

Lei Mo still found it hard to believe; aside from Franklin, his blood had never displayed anything miraculous before!

"My blood is this impressive, so why didn't I know about it myself?"

Lei Mo continued to grumble. He had traveled hundreds of thousands of kilometers for the sake of cultivation talent, never realizing that he was the most impressive one of all!

Ignoring these thoughts, Lei Mo continued to observe Bailey's appearance. Aside from growing larger, Bailey's color seemed to have changed slightly as well.

It used to be a pale blue, and it was still a pale blue now, just a slightly deeper shade, but that was all there was to it.
