Fifty-Thousand-Year Dragon Pattern Tiger! Azure Dragon Staff Suppression!

Balak Kingdom, the Prince's royal city residence.

"Wasn't that Azure Dragon Turtle already targeted by mercenaries?"

"My son has been gone for nearly half a month. Why hasn't he returned yet?"

"Could something have happened?"

Prince Balachi sat in the seat of honor within the main hall, a bad premonition rising in his heart.

For the past few days, he had dreamed every night that his son was drifting farther and farther away from him.

He had already sent people out to search for information, yet there had been no results so far.

This feeling of resonance through bloodline was generally never wrong.

Especially after a Martial Soul awakened, it would only grow stronger.

"Your Highness, we found the Azure Dragon Turtle's corpse in the central and inner regions of the western Star Dou Forest, but we found no trace of the young master or the others."

A man rushed inside and reported.

"Find them. Keep looking. Do not overlook even the slightest possible clue!" Balachi said in a low voice.

"Yes!"

The man did not dare linger and quickly left after answering.

"Your Highness, a batch of entirely new goods recently arrived from Suotuo City. They are all quite interesting. This subordinate purchased them from several merchants. I heard these goods were newly produced and have become especially popular in Suotuo City."

A lackey entered from outside. Behind him, several people carried various items, and the lackey smiled fawningly.

"New things? Present them all for me to see." Balachi was immediately intrigued.

The lackey then began introducing the items one by one.

"They came from Suotuo City. Whose handiwork are these?" Approval flashed in Balachi's eyes as he asked, "I never expected such fine things to exist among commoners."

"I heard they came from the Li Family of Suotuo City. The Li Family has recently gained great fame, and its business has been extremely successful. They spent a great deal of money recruiting high-level Soul Masters from all over, so their influence is considerable."

"They are now one of Suotuo City's foremost families!"

"There are one or two Soul Kings in the family. The old family head, Li Yusong, is a Soul Emperor, and they also have ties to Shrek Academy. Shrek Academy has two Soul Saints and two Soul Emperors. This is no simple force."

The lackey reported all the information he had gathered, then took out a prepared envelope and handed it to Balachi.

After hearing this and reading the contents of the envelope, a trace of greed flashed in Balachi's eyes.

"This Shrek Academy, I recall that they have trained quite a few geniuses. It is a pity that they remain poor and have yet to obtain official Soul Master Academy accreditation. Last time, someone from their side tried to seek our help, but our people kept stalling them."

"No one stands behind them."

"Take me to the Li Family. We will discuss a business partnership with them. Our royal residence must have a share of the profits as well!"

Balachi spoke indifferently.

Although these people lacked backing, they were still Soul Saints and Soul Emperors. If he truly angered them and they joined the Heaven Dou Imperial Family or Spirit Hall before coming back for revenge, his position as Prince would be finished.

So he intended to outwit them rather than resort to crude methods.

"Tell them that as long as the Li Family gives us a share, I will secure Shrek Academy's official Soul Master Academy accreditation!"

Balachi said, "With my protection, they can expand their business throughout the Balak Kingdom. If they refuse to appreciate my kindness, I will make it impossible for the Li Family to take a single step!" At this point, he gave a heavy cold snort.

"Understood!" The lackey nodded.

He then left.

Star Dou Forest.

Three days had passed since they killed the Prince's son.

The group of four had searched for three days without finding a suitable Soul Ring for Li Yusong.

But today, their luck had finally arrived.

Not far ahead was a fifty-thousand-year Dragon Pattern Tiger!

"A fifty-thousand-year Dragon Pattern Tiger possesses Dragon Clan blood. It is no weaker than the ranks of super Soul Beasts."

"But in a normal fight, even if the four of us joined forces, we would not be able to defeat it. This beast is incredibly formidable."

Hidden behind the bushes, Flender and the others quietly watched the large tiger foraging not far ahead as they communicated through transmitted voices.

"Let's first try the method Li Fei mentioned. If it doesn't work, we can only look for a Soul Beast with a lower cultivation age." Li Yusong transmitted.

After searching for so long, he was feeling rather helpless as well.

Although the Star Dou Forest was vast and had many types of Soul Beasts, whether they could encounter one with a cultivation age suitable for him was also a matter of luck.

"Alright." Flender, Zhao Wuji, and Li Fei nodded.

The four summoned their Martial Souls and attacked the Dragon Pattern Tiger from four directions.

The moment Flender and Zhao Wuji made their moves, they used their Martial Soul Avatars and their strongest ultimate attacks.

Li Yusong did not have a seventh Soul Ring, so he could only use enhancement-type soul skills together with his sixth soul skill to attack with all his strength.

To ensure the plan succeeded, the three of them intended to first wear down the Dragon Pattern Tiger.

Li Fei would wait for the right moment before acting.

The Dragon Pattern Tiger, which was foraging, sensed the danger coming from behind. Its expression changed as it turned and roared, the dragon patterns on its body glowing as its tiger roar carried dragon might.

Its roar was neither quite a tiger's nor quite a dragon's.

Li Yusong was forced back.

But Flender and Zhao Wuji's attacks were the main source of damage. Li Yusong was merely drawing its attention.

Their attacks converged from the left and right, striking the Dragon Pattern Tiger's body heavily.

Bang!

"Roar!!!!!"

The Dragon Pattern Tiger let out a pained cry.

Suddenly, dragon might erupted from its body, forcing Flender and Zhao Wuji back.

The Dragon Pattern Tiger pounced toward Li Yusong, opening its bloody maw and releasing a foul stench as it tried to swallow him whole.

Li Yusong circulated his Soul Power and swung his staff at it.

Bang!

At that moment, the slightly mutated dragon patterns on his staff emitted a faint azure glow.

The Dragon Pattern Tiger's expression changed drastically. The power within its body was actually being suppressed.

Although the suppression was not particularly great, this staff gave it an utterly terrifying sense of intimidation!

Bang!

In the next moment, both sides were knocked back.

What a powerful Dragon Pattern Tiger! Li Yusong was secretly shocked.

Suddenly, an azure staff descended from the sky and smashed onto the Dragon Pattern Tiger. In the next second, it directly grew larger, thicker, and longer!

The Dragon Pattern Tiger was pinned down so thoroughly that it could not even stand.

Its eyes were filled with terror. The dragon blood and dragon patterns within its body were terrified, leaving it unable to exert its strength at this moment.

It was as though moving even slightly would be the utmost disrespect toward the being within this staff!

"Damn, this staff can grow larger, thicker, and longer?"

Flender, Zhao Wuji, and Li Yusong revealed shocked expressions at the sight.

"The Azure Dragon Staff has already suppressed it. Grandpa, kill it quickly." Li Fei's transmitted voice entered Li Yusong's mind.

"Alright!"

Excitement flashed through Li Yusong's eyes as he swung his strongest strike, bringing it down viciously upon the Dragon Pattern Tiger's neck.

Bang!!!!!!

Crack!

The sound of its neck bones breaking rang out. The Dragon Pattern Tiger wailed, its entire body going limp as it collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

No one had expected hunting a fifty-thousand-year Soul Beast to be so easy!
