Simp, Yan

They had to use the fastest speed to severely wound the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear while maintaining an absolute advantage.

"The coordination is becoming more and more tacit."

Qian Yu looked at the battle between the four. He could see that after this period of contact, Hu Liena and the others had set aside their pride, and Snake Lance Douluo and his companion had set aside their prejudices.

After truly relying on and understanding one another, their coordination had become incredibly seamless.

They were unleashing combat power far greater than the sum of their parts.

"BOOM!"

"BOOM!"

As a series of dull thuds rang out, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was continuously battered and forced back.

But this creature's vitality was truly too formidable.

Trying to slay it was proving to be extremely difficult.

"This is the moment!"

Hu Liena seized the opportunity, unleashing a soul skill to launch a mental attack on the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, then closed in, intending to inject the water from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well into its body.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was a perfect and powerful soul beast; aside from its weakness in mental power, it seemed to have no other flaws.

Because Hu Liena was a mental-type soul master, this arduous task had been entrusted to her.

"Nana, watch out!"

Just at that moment, Yan suddenly roared, his voice filled with worry.

Because he had been fighting the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear head-on the entire time, he could intuitively monitor the beast's condition.

Just before Hu Liena could exert mental control over it, the creature had entered a berserk state.

Prompted by Yan's warning, Hu Liena also noticed the beast's frenzy.

However, seeing that she was on the verge of injecting the water from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well into its body, how could she let such an opportunity slip away?

"I'll risk it!"

Hu Liena did not take this chance to flee, prioritizing the completion of the plan above all else.

At the same time, Qian Yu and Xie Yue also made their moves.

One activated a soul skill, the other a soul bone skill, both of which were healing abilities.

But their targets were different.

Xie Yue's target was his sister, who was in danger, while Qian Yu's target was the unrelated Yan.

"BANG!"

Accompanied by a dull thud, a figure was struck by the enraged Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

The immense power tore through everything; had that figure's physique not been sufficiently robust, and had he not possessed a soul bone, this strike would have been enough to tear him to shreds.

Fortunately, the water from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had been injected into the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's body.

It had used its berserk state, so now they only needed to stall it and wait for it to weaken before they could finish it off.

As for the person who had been sent flying, it was not Hu Liena, but Yan.

At the critical moment, Yan had unleashed his potential, reaching Hu Liena's side at top speed to help her block that fatal blow.

The price, however, was his own severe injury.

Fortunately, Qian Yu's healing was extremely timely.

"As expected, I am still not as good as you."

Xie Yue was also very surprised by this outcome.

He had never imagined that under such circumstances, Yan would actually be able to make it in time to help his sister block such a fierce attack.

Therefore, he had assumed his sister could not dodge, which was why he had channeled his healing power into her body.

"It's fine. Yan has a formidable torso bone, and his martial soul's defensive power far exceeds Hu Liena's. In that situation, the decision he made was the optimal solution."

Sensing Yan's condition, Qian Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief, as his timely healing meant there were no major issues.

Qian Yu did not comment on Yan's actions.

In his view, Yan was purely a sycophant, a clown.

But was the man not enjoying it himself?

Moreover, the actions Yan took due to his infatuation were, under those specific circumstances, the optimal solution.

Otherwise, given Hu Liena's physique, if she had taken that hit, she would have been crippled if not killed.

The current outcome could not be better.

Having entered the berserk state, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's strength was even greater, and neither Snake Lance Douluo nor Porcupinefish Douluo fought it head-on; furthermore, the water from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was still frantically destroying the beast's body from within.

They only needed to wait quietly and stall.

As time passed, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear soon fell into a weakened state.

Xie Yue seized the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to his opponent.

A black Soul Ring manifested, signaling the successful hunt.

Following this, the two Title Douluo retracted their Avatar of the Martial Soul.

While Xie Yue was in the process of absorbing the Soul Ring, Qian Yu stepped forward to the corpse of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear to search for a spirit bone.

However, the moment he saw the spirit bone, a dark line immediately appeared on his face.

This spirit bone was excellent, top-tier.

Even Qian Yu had never seen such a fine spirit bone, whether in terms of quality or integrity.

It was practically equivalent to two spirit bones.

The crux of the problem lay right there.

This was a right arm bone connected to a palm bone.

If it had only been a palm bone, he would have absorbed it himself.

The problem was that it was still connected to the right arm bone, making it impossible for him to use.

I just wonder if the age of this spirit bone can be increased?

Looking at the spirit bone in his hand, Qian Yu clicked his tongue in wonder.

It was the first time he had ever heard of a right arm bone and a palm bone being connected together.

"That kid Xie Yue really has good luck!"

Snake Lance Douluo also walked over, and upon seeing this spirit bone, he couldn't help but feel envious.

By now, they had reached a consensus: any spirit bone that appeared from a hunted soul beast would naturally belong to the person who obtained the Soul Ring.

As for any remaining spirit bones, they would go to whoever was the most compatible.

Although they coveted it, the two Title Douluo, Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo, harbored no ulterior motives.

Nowadays, they both already had multiple spirit bones on them—a situation they wouldn't have even dared to imagine in the past.

He put the spirit bone away, intending to give it to Xie Yue once he successfully finished absorbing his Soul Ring.

Qian Yu then turned his gaze toward Hu Liena and Yan not far away.

It had to be said, the effort Yan spent earlier helping Hu Liena block that fatal blow had not been in vain.

At the very least, he had earned Hu Liena's concern.

For that, even if he had to lie in bed for a month or so, he would still be very happy.

As for whether he could win Hu Liena's heart just because of such a thing, it was difficult.

After all, she already had Tang Yin in her heart.

Qian Yu didn't pay too much mind to such trivial matters; for now, these people were merely his assets.

As for developing feelings for them, he had some, but not many.

Among the group, his relationship with Hu Liena was the best, as they were the first to know and understand each other; next was Xie Yue, whom he purely admired.

After that came Yan and Porcupinefish Douluo.

As for Snake Lance Douluo, he ranked last.

It took a full two days for Xie Yue to successfully absorb the Soul Ring.

The eighth Soul Ring came from a seventy-three-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
