Solo Kill Underworld Brilliance Sub-Dragon

The rabbit brought by Shao Zhe was roasted by Huo Yuhao, who had volunteered for the task. The aroma earned Huo Yuhao a higher regard from Shao Zhe, and through their conversation, he learned a bit about Huo Yuhao's background.

"The White Tiger Duke Mansion? Shrek Academy has students from there as well. However, if they are the ones who initiate trouble, the Academy will not show them any bias."

Shao Zhe pondered for a moment before speaking to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao nodded. After the three of them rested for a while, Shao Zhe led Lin Yun and Huo Yuhao deeper into the outer perimeter to continue searching for a suitable soul beast for Lin Yun.

Whether it was because Huo Yuhao had pleaded with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm or because Sky Dream Ice Silkworm simply wanted to end their time in the forest as quickly as possible, Huo Yuhao suddenly spoke up.

"By the way, I think I saw a black sub-dragon over there earlier. I wonder if it would be suitable for Brother Yun's martial soul."

Shao Zhe had not yet decided what the next soul beast for Lin Yun should be, so he nodded and said, "Whether it's a mule or a horse, we'll know once we take it out for a walk. Lead the way."

Huo Yuhao led Lin Yun and Shao Zhe in a specific direction. The three of them climbed over a small hill in the forest and spotted a pool of water.

A creature, entirely pitch-black and covered in long, strip-like dragon scales, looked like a lizard magnified several times over.

Behind the creature was a pair of black wings, the edges of which were rimmed with a circle of golden scales.

Shao Zhe instantly recognized the creature's identity and whispered, "This soul beast is quite good. It is an Underworld Brilliance Sub-Dragon of the dark attribute. Although its vision is relatively weak, it possesses extraordinary stamina and explosive power. It is an extremely balanced soul beast."

Lin Yun looked at the soul beast ahead and then said, "Better to take a shot at it than to leave empty-handed. This is the one."

Shao Zhe then said, "You are already a soul master now. You go; I will stand here and cover you. Do not hold back."

Lin Yun glanced at Shao Zhe, knowing that he was trying to determine whether his martial soul was an evil one. He nodded and immediately summoned his Skeletal Bone Dragon martial soul.

A yellow soul ring appeared at Lin Yun's feet.

Lin Yun's movements were wild and direct. With a push of his legs, a pair of bone wings spread out. During his flight, his left hand was already covered in a layer of bony dragon claws as he charged straight at the Underworld Brilliance Sub-Dragon.

The Underworld Brilliance Sub-Dragon immediately raised its head. Only then did it notice Lin Yun's movements. Just as it was about to resist, it suddenly froze in place.

Bloodline suppression exists among soul beasts; for instance, the more powerful Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear can make a pack of Flame Lions too afraid to resist.

At this moment, Lin Yun released the aura of his Skeletal Bone Dragon. An aura belonging to an undead monarch suppressed the Underworld Brilliance Sub-Dragon before him, leaving it unable to fight back.

"Rip!"

The sharp bone claws instantly tore through the flesh of the Underworld Brilliance Sub-Dragon, and dragon blood began to flow. At the same time, Lin Yun opened his mouth.

His first soul skill was activated: Breath of the Underworld Lord. Dark green ghost fire flew from Lin Yun's mouth, burning along the wound toward the Underworld Brilliance Sub-Dragon.

The Underworld Brilliance Sub-Dragon began to struggle violently, letting out continuous cries of pain. Lin Yun took the opportunity to swing his claw once more, severing the head of the unfortunate sub-dragon.

"Huff, huff..."

Lin Yun let go, his hands trembling. At this stage, he was not yet particularly skilled at controlling the intensity of his soul skills or the output of his soul power.

Furthermore, as a transmigrator, he had not yet fully adapted to such high-intensity slaughter. Previously, overcoming his arachnophobia to stomp on a spider had been difficult enough; this time, he had gone as far as decapitating a soul beast.

The scent of blood made Lin Yun's throat twitch unnaturally as he fought to suppress the urge to vomit.

Ironically, Lin Yun's reaction made Shao Zhe feel much more at ease. From Shao Zhe's perspective, the less accustomed Lin Yun was to such things, the better, so he wouldn't become addicted to the sensation, which would have required Shao Zhe to intervene and "cure" him.

Lin Yun panted for a minute, forcing himself to calm down. By now, the head of the Underworld Brilliance Sub-Dragon had stopped moving entirely, and a pale purple soul ring emerged from its body.

Shao Zhe clicked his tongue and called out to Lin Yun, "This is a thousand-year soul ring; it is not suitable for you to absorb right now. Let's go find the next soul beast."

Lin Yun examined the purple thousand-year soul ring, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Teacher Shao, I feel that I can absorb this soul ring. Let me try. Even if an accident happens, it is my own choice."

In truth, Lin Yun was not entirely courting death. Electrolux had already stabilized his soul using the undead aura of the Skeletal Bone Dragon, becoming an undead entity under the command of the Skeletal Bone Dragon.

After carefully sensing the changes in Lin Yun's meridians and the rules of the soul ring, Electrolux indicated that Lin Yun could attempt to master the power of this thousand-year soul ring.

Lin Yun was confident in his own situation. After all, he possessed the Skeletal Bone Dragon as his martial soul; even if he didn't trust his transmigrator's "cheat," he should at least trust his martial soul.

As for Shao Zhe's thoughts, they were more straightforward. Lin Yun was an evil soul master by nature; although their day together had improved his impression, if this budding evil soul master were to be ruined, it would save him some trouble.

He could simply give him a sum of money to buy a house near Shrek City, and when he was of age, find him a wife—that would be a job well done.

With this mindset, Shao Zhe agreed to let Lin Yun try, which in turn laid the foundation for Lin Yun's future path as a powerhouse who would shake the world.

"If you fail to absorb a soul ring beyond your limit, at best your meridians will shatter and your soul power will be lost; at worst, your body will explode, and even the gods could not save you. If you have truly made up your mind, then go ahead. In any case, this old man has already warned you of the consequences."

When Huo Yuhao heard the potential consequences of Lin Yun absorbing the soul ring, he became anxious and said to Lin Yun, "Brother Yun, let's keep looking. Even if we don't find a suitable one, I'll come with you to look again next time."

Lin Yun cupped his hands toward Huo Yuhao and said, "With those words, brother, if I succeed today, I will consider you a true friend. My family has fished for generations, and we know one truth: the rougher the waves, the more valuable the fish!"

Shao Zhe looked at Lin Yun with a hint of admiration. Although he possessed an evil martial soul, this courage to burn his bridges was exactly what the people of Shrek admired.

Lin Yun said no more. He sat cross-legged on the ground, took a deep breath, and then reached out, guiding the purple soul ring toward himself.

At the same time, deep within the Star Dou Forest, at the bottom of the lake filled with the aura of life, a silver-white figure stood up.

The king of the Star Dou Forest, Di Tian, was currently in human form, kneeling on one knee and bowing his head respectfully toward the white figure in the lake.

"Di Tian, did you feel it? That unfamiliar dragon aura..."
