Earth Attribute Beast-Type Warrior: Stone Armor Bear

Having said this, Huo Li added, "Regardless, the choice is in your hands. If you dare not absorb the spirit ring of this Vajra Bear, we shall go look for other spirit beasts."

"No problem, let's go with this one." Ling Yun smiled confidently, "I will certainly succeed in absorbing its spirit ring and create another miracle!"

"Heh, in that case, you three little ones had better give it your all."

With that, Huo Li stepped back, preparing to enjoy the upcoming battle. The opponent was merely a three-thousand-year-old spirit beast; he believed that with the combined strength of Ling Yun and the others, they could handle it easily.

"Roar—"

While they were talking, the Vajra Bear let out a roar and charged fiercely toward the three of them!

Seeing this, Huo Wu's pupils constricted, and she hurriedly said, "Ling Yun, my brother and I will be responsible for the attacks; you control it!"

"No problem, Five Spirits Power, transform!"

Ling Yun instantly condensed his spirit power, and the first spirit ring at his feet flickered slightly, followed by a beam of light that instantly enveloped his body.

"Beast-type Warrior: Divine Wood Ape!"

No sooner said than done; when the light dissipated, Ling Yun had already transformed into the Divine Wood Ape, his thick arms surging with pure wood-attribute spirit power.

He then waved his large hand, and green vines as thick as fists sprouted from beneath the Vajra Bear's feet, sweeping in from all directions and instantly entangling the Vajra Bear's limbs, rendering it unable to move.

"Power of Wood Spirit, Entangle!"

"Roar—"

After its body was bound by the vines, the Vajra Bear roared hysterically, waving its strong, powerful bear paws in an attempt to tear the vines apart.

However, although these vines were flexible, dozens or even hundreds of them layered and intertwined, making them extremely tough.

As the saying goes, a single chopstick is easy to break, but ten chopsticks are as hard as steel!

No matter how much force the Vajra Bear exerted, it could not tear the vines apart.

Seeing that the Vajra Bear could not break free from the restraint of the vines, Ling Yun hurriedly said, "I have it under control! Huo Wu, Brother Wushuang, I leave it to you!"

"Understood, Second Spirit Skill: Explosive Fireball!"

"Third Spirit Skill: Tyrant Dragon Rage!"

In an instant, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang attacked simultaneously, rushing toward the Vajra Bear from the left and right.

The second spirit ring at Huo Wu's feet suddenly lit up. Firelight flickered in her palms as dense fire-attribute spirit power gushed out, condensing into a massive fireball as thick as a water vat.

Immediately after, Huo Wu threw the fireball as if playing volleyball, shooting it straight at the Vajra Bear's chest.

At the same time, Huo Wushuang also unleashed his third spirit skill; his body expanded once more, and he struck the Vajra Bear with a fierce fire punch.

Boom—

In the end, Huo Wu's Explosive Fireball struck the Vajra Bear's chest first, followed by a deafening roar as the scorching flames instantly engulfed the Vajra Bear's sturdy body.

Immediately following, Huo Wushuang's fire punch whistled through the air and landed heavily on the Vajra Bear's chest.

Accompanied by the sound of breaking bone, this punch actually shattered its sternum while simultaneously severely damaging its internal organs.

Intense pain swept through its entire body, causing the Vajra Bear to let out a painful whine before it collapsed powerlessly to the ground, on the verge of death.

Seeing this, Huo Wu hurriedly said, "Ling Yun, take this chance, give it the final blow!"

"Understood, Five Spirits Power, transform!"

Before the words had even faded, Ling Yun unleashed his second spirit skill, his body wrapped in fire-attribute spirit power.

In an instant, a crane's cry rang out, and Ling Yun transformed into a Flame Crane, soaring into the sky. With his entire body burning with scorching flames, he dove straight toward the Vajra Bear, accelerating as he went!

"Flame Crane Ultimate Move: Fire Crane Sky Fall!"

Boom!

Ling Yun was like a meteorite falling from the sky, slamming heavily into the Vajra Bear's chest, and the scorching flames once again engulfed its body.

This time, the Vajra Bear was completely dead.

Following this, a stream of pure spirit power emerged from the body, condensing into a vibrant purple spirit ring that floated above the Vajra Bear's corpse.

Seeing this, Ling Yun was overjoyed. He immediately sat cross-legged, and after adjusting his breathing, he released his spirit power to draw the spirit ring, adding it to his martial soul.

Having had the experience of absorbing spirit rings twice before, Ling Yun was already adept at this step.

Suddenly, a terrifying spirit pressure swept over, descending like a waterfall and continuously battering his body.

Fortunately, over the past two years, Ling Yun had been consuming Whale Rubber, having eaten several pieces of thousand-year Whale Rubber, so his physical strength far exceeded that of an ordinary person; this bit of spirit pressure could not defeat him.

He immediately condensed his spirit power, using it to resist the spirit pressure and absorb it for his own use.

On the other side, while Ling Yun was absorbing the spirit ring, the Huo Li family stood guard by his side the entire time, their eyes fixed intently on Ling Yun, hoping he would create another miracle!

Huo Li, in particular, stared closely at his face; if Ling Yun showed even a hint of pain, he would intervene immediately to interrupt him.

Fortunately, the situation he feared did not occur. As time passed second by second, Ling Yun successfully made it through the danger zone.

Three hours later, Ling Yun suddenly opened his eyes, and an astonishing spirit pressure transformed into a gale, sweeping outward in all directions.

"Level thirty-three?!"

Sensing Ling Yun's cultivation level, Huo Li exclaimed in surprise, and as soon as these words were spoken, the Huo Wu siblings beside him also revealed expressions of astonishment.

"What? Ling Yun's soul power has already reached level thirty-three?"

"Hiss! His soul power has increased so much that it makes me want to absorb a soul ring beyond my limit too."

"Forget it, brother!"

Huo Wu shot a glance at Huo Wushuang and poured a bucket of cold water over him.

"Little brother Ling Yun is gifted with extraordinary talent, which is why he can absorb soul rings beyond his limit. Your talent isn't even as good as mine; if you tried to absorb a soul ring beyond your limit, I'm afraid you'd explode and die on the spot."

"Hey, hey! I'm saying, Xiao Wu, can't you have a little faith in your brother? You are my own sister, after all!"

"I'm just stating the facts."

As the siblings bickered as usual, Huo Li suddenly asked, "Ling Yun, how are you feeling now? After all, absorbing a soul ring beyond your limit, won't it have any negative effects on your body?"

"It's fine, Dean, I'm in great shape right now!" Ling Yun clenched his fists and smiled with a relaxed expression.

"That's good, that's good..."

Huo Li nodded with a smile, feeling relieved, and then said, "Right, Ling Yun, show us your third soul skill."

"No problem, Five Spirits Power, transform!"

Ling Yun summoned the Five Spirit Lock, immediately condensed his soul power, and the third soul ring beneath his feet erupted with a brilliant, dazzling purple light.

A surge of pure earth-attribute soul power was then released from the Five Spirit Lock, enveloping his body.

In an instant, Ling Yun transformed into a massive brown bear, its size on par with the Vajra Bear from earlier.

His entire body was covered in earthy-yellow fur, looking somewhat simple and cute, while his wrists, chest, and back were covered in extremely hard stone armor. The tips of his two thick bear paws were equipped with a pair of sharp claws capable of tearing through rock!

And this was the earth-attribute beast-type warrior: Stone Armor Bear!
