Qiangu Dongfeng Prepares to Break Through the Defense!

"How are things on your end?" Lin Xiu swung the scythe in his hand, reaping and slaughtering the surrounding soul beasts like a dancer of death. His movements were so swift that the staff members watching him gasped in disbelief. Was this truly a speed that only a Soul Elder could display?

Qiangu Dongfeng was so angry he nearly choked. He had thought himself exceptionally talented, but now another guy had popped up who was even better than him—it was enough to drive him mad!

Seeing the performance of this one-ring soul master only made him angrier; he nearly fainted on the spot.

He had expected this guy to be kicked out within minutes, yet every time he encountered a hundred-year soul beast, he killed it instantly.

Furious, he barked, "Activate the thousand-year soul beasts for me!"

"That's not a good idea, Young Master Dongfeng. There are still..."

"I told you to activate them, so do it! Why so much chatter? Do you not want your jobs anymore?"

Seeing this, the staff had no choice but to activate the thousand-year soul beasts. However, they dared not select ones with too high a level, and since the technology was still unstable, there was a high risk of the beasts entering a berserk state. With the children of the Leng Family high-ups inside, they certainly didn't want anyone to die.

"I'm doing fine on my end," Lin Nuo replied. "That guy seems to have underestimated me a little."

"Hold back a bit, or I won't be able to make it back later," Lin Xiu reminded him with a hint of helplessness.

Although he could indeed summon the Thunder Whale to help if he truly encountered an unsolvable difficulty, he would then be tossed into the Abyss Plane to deal with those disgusting creatures.

"I understand that, naturally," Lin Nuo replied. Suddenly hearing a familiar scream, he immediately cut off his conversation with Lin Xiu. "I have an emergency here; I'll stop talking now."

After ending the mental link with Lin Xiu, Lin Nuo sprinted toward the source of the cries for help.

At this moment, in another part of the forest, Leng Yulai was being hunted by a pack of soul beasts, led by none other than a Millennium Wolf King. Didn't her sister say the soul beasts this time were only hundred-year level?

Where on earth did a Millennium Wolf King come from?

"Sister, help!" Leng Yulai was, after all, just a child. Faced with such a crisis, she had already descended into a panic, having no idea what to do.

In the distance, Leng Yaozhu saw this scene and wanted to rush over, but she was held back by another thousand-year soul beast. Her heart was filled with confusion; wasn't the Spirit Ascension Platform set for hundred-year soul beasts this time?

The children of the Spirit Pagoda high-ups had the right to set the parameters of the Spirit Ascension Platform themselves. She was completely baffled by the appearance of two thousand-year soul beasts, unless some staff member was stupid enough to ignore their orders.

Although getting injured in the Spirit Ascension Platform wasn't fatal, their hard-earned progress would be completely wiped out.

She was incredibly furious, three soul rings rising from beneath her feet as she prepared to save her sister.

As a Soul Elder, she could not kill a thousand-year soul beast as easily as she could a low-level one.

Just as Leng Yulai was pushed to the brink by the Wolf King and its sharp claws were about to shred her clothes, a blinding cold light suddenly tore through the sky. A gilded spear, carrying the sound of tearing air, descended from above and slammed into the mud beside the Wolf King's feet, sending dust flying everywhere.

The next second, Lin Nuo's figure stood before Leng Yulai, his posture as straight as a pine, like a divine warrior descended from the heavens, shielding her firmly behind him.

Looking at Lin Nuo's back, Leng Yulai felt as if she had seen the light of salvation in her eyes.

Lin Nuo gripped the spear tightly. Seeing the thousand-year soul beast before him, he seemed to understand something—had Qiangu Dongfeng lost his mind?

At this moment, Qiangu Dongfeng, who had been regretting his wrong decision and the harm caused to Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai, saw this scene of Lin Nuo playing the hero and was overjoyed. "You dare to play the hero with only one soul ring?"

"Just wait, the Millennium Wolf King will turn you into a coward!"

Thinking this, he immediately stood up and said, "Now, I am entering the Spirit Ascension Platform as well."

Qiangu Dongfeng began to fantasize about Lin Nuo being defeated, Lin Xiu being nowhere to be found, and himself swooping in to save the damsel.

On the other side of the forest, Lin Xiu had actually already arrived, but seeing Lin Nuo in the middle of his heroics, he chose to hide in the shadows, preparing to lend him his strength.

Although they could not merge right now, they could borrow each other's power through their connection. His own Soul Elder cultivation could be lent to Lin Nuo, but there was a drawback to borrowing power within the same timeline: one of them would fall into a weakened state.

So, he prepared to hide and watch.

Lin Nuo felt the power flowing back from Lin Xiu, his own strength constantly replenishing. He couldn't help but turn his head to tease Leng Yulai, "Aren't you a two-ring soul master? Why are you more timid than me?"

Hearing this, Leng Yulai wanted to retort, but seeing the wolf pounce toward Lin Nuo, she immediately called out, "Watch out!"

With Lin Xiu's real-time assistance, Lin Nuo's neural reflexes approached the level of a Soul Ancestor. He instantly swung his spear, directly slowing the Wolf King's pounce, then quickly stabbed into the wolf's incoming claw and flicked it away.

The Wolf King felt blood flowing from its front paw and immediately realized that the one-ring soul master before it was no pushover.

It bared its fangs with a ferocious aura, staring fixedly at Lin Nuo, searching for an opening.

Lin Nuo also stared intently at the Wolf King, without a single thought of retreat. Or rather, with Lin Xiu's assistance, he had the strength to kill it instantly, but he couldn't do so just yet.

However, Leng Yulai behind him, Leng Yaozhu in the distance, and the Spirit Pagoda staff watching from afar were all stunned. What had they just seen?

A one-ring soul master had just flicked away a Millennium Wolf King. The technical staff, in particular, were inwardly shocked: even if the technology was forced and immature, was this something a one-ring soul master could actually do?

Seeing that the opponent had no openings, the Wolf King immediately ordered its minions to pounce on Lin Nuo, intending to wear him down.

Seeing this, Lin Nuo unceremoniously ordered Leng Yulai behind him, "You take the small ones, I'll take the big one. Can you do that?"

"Oh, oh, okay!" Leng Yulai finally snapped out of the sudden turn of events. Before her words had even faded, Lin Nuo's figure had already darted out like an arrow from a bow, his speed leaving only a blur.

In the blink of an eye, he was locked in a fierce battle with the pitch-black, sharp-fanged Millennium Wolf King, neither side gaining the upper hand.

Ten minutes passed. The Wolf King felt its agility clearly declining, and seeing the human before it growing more courageous with every strike, it began to consider retreating.

Lin Nuo precisely captured the hesitation in the Wolf King's eyes. His speed suddenly surged, and the Holy Spear of Time in his hand erupted with a pale golden halo. Taking advantage of the wolf's momentary distraction, he thrust forward violently, the sharp tip of the spear piercing straight through the Wolf King's thick front paw.

"Awoo~" The Wolf King felt the agony of its flesh being pierced by the spear. Lin Nuo gave it no chance to catch its breath, continuing to pierce it with the spear at a speed of over a dozen strikes per second. In the blink of an eye, he killed the creature, which dissolved into specks of starlight that converged toward Lin Nuo and Leng Yulai.

After killing the Millennium Wolf King, Lin Nuo immediately deactivated Lin Xiu's assistance and instantly collapsed backward from exhaustion.

Leng Yulai, having finished off the hundred-year soul beasts, saw Lin Nuo suddenly fall backward and immediately stepped forward to support him. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, just exhausted some energy. I'll be fine after a rest." Lin Nuo hadn't expected the side effects of borrowing power to be this severe; his entire body was aching, and he couldn't even stand up.

Leng Yaozhu had also walked over by this time, having already dealt with that thousand-year soul beast. Her gaze was somewhat complex as she stared at Lin Jiahao, who was lying in her younger sister's arms. She was beginning to suspect that this guy might be hiding his true strength and that his cultivation was likely beyond that of a one-ring soul master. Yet, through her keen perception, he was indeed at the one-ring level. What was going on here?

On the other side, Qiangu Dongfeng had already arrived within the Spirit Ascension Platform forest, preparing to head toward Leng Yaozhu's location to play the hero saving the beauty.

However, while the idea was wonderful, reality was cruel. Lin Xiu stood before him, gripping his scythe. "This path is closed, Qiangu Dongfeng."

So he thought he could bully his boss just because he was a one-ring soul master, did he? As a subject, it was only natural for him to seek a bit of justice for his sovereign.
