"Huh?"
Looking at the shocking wounds on the Heavenly Might Griffin, Li Jiutian scratched his head in confusion.
Just then, the Heavenly Might Griffin suddenly snapped its eyes open. Its body size doubled in an instant, and every wound on its body healed completely!
"How can this be!"
Li Jiutian couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"This is the Heavenly Might Griffin's passive skill, Broken Wing Survival."
"In a near-death state, it breaks its own wings and loses the ability to fly, but in exchange, it gains 100% healing and a 30% increase in strength."
"The Heavenly Might Griffin is incredibly powerful right now; even an average Soul Douluo would be no match for it!"
After Qian Daoliu finished speaking, the wings of his Six-Winged Angel erupted with golden light, and thousands of golden feathers appeared around them.
These feathers were as sharp as blades, each imbued with a force of a hundred thousand jin. They rained down upon the Heavenly Might Griffin like a storm!
The Heavenly Might Griffin looked at the thousands of light feathers, its eyes filled with despair.
"Boom!"
After the deafening roar, the area within a kilometer of the Heavenly Might Griffin was smashed into a crater 500 meters deep!
It lay in the pit, covered in blood as if pierced by ten thousand arrows. Qian Daoliu had deliberately controlled the trajectory of the feathers; otherwise, the Heavenly Might Griffin would have died long ago!
"Little Tian, go finish it off!"
After saying this, Qian Daoliu retracted his Angel Martial Soul.
"First Soul Skill, Vacuum Slash!"
Li Jiutian nodded slightly, then flew above the Heavenly Might Griffin and severed its neck with a blade of light!
After the Heavenly Might Griffin breathed its last in unwillingness, a black soul ring floated up from its corpse.
"Little Tian, I believe in you!"
Qian Daoliu said earnestly.
"Mm!"
Li Jiutian nodded slightly. Just as he was about to absorb the soul ring, an object wrapped in golden light floated up from the beast's corpse!
"Disciple, wait!"
"That is a left arm bone. Soul bones are rare and hard to come by; your luck is truly incredible!"
Qian Daoliu could not hide the excitement in his eyes.
"My goodness! Brother, your luck is just too good. I remember hearing the teacher say that the probability of a soul bone appearing after a soul beast dies is one in a thousand!"
Luo Zixuan trotted over, exclaiming in amazement.
"Little Tian, hurry up and absorb the soul ring, and absorb this soul bone along with it!"
Qian Daoliu urged.
"Master, this soul bone is extremely precious. I am already satisfied that you helped me hunt this soul beast."
"You should give this soul bone to someone else."
Li Jiutian feigned humility, though his gaze never left the soul bone.
"You brat, why are you still putting on an act with me at a time like this? A soul bone produced by the same soul ring has a higher compatibility and greater power when absorbed together!"
"Besides, you are my disciple; how could I be stingy over a mere soul bone?"
Qian Daoliu replied with displeasure.
Li Jiutian nodded slightly and began to meditate to absorb the soul ring. Absorbing this twenty-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone was still quite difficult.

The center of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The next morning.
Li Jiutian opened his eyes, his aura rising sharply.
"Brother, you're truly amazing! You're probably the only person on the entire continent to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring as your third!"
Luo Zixuan smiled brightly, then kissed Li Jiutian on the cheek.
"I certainly didn't misjudge you, Little Tian. You might become the youngest Titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent!"
"Quick, tell us about your third soul skill and the soul bone skill!"
Qian Daoliu said with gratification.
"This Heavenly Might Griffin had a heavy grudge. Last night, in my mental state, it fought me for the entire night."
"If not for the might of the Eight-Winged Angel, I might have been swallowed by the resentment of this beast."
"After absorbing this soul ring and soul bone, my soul power has also broken through to level 45."
Li Jiutian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and continued, "My third soul skill is called Air Cut. It can slice away the air within a ten-meter radius of myself, allowing me to achieve a teleportation effect."
"It can also slice away the air around an enemy within ten meters, forcing them to teleport right in front of me! The best part is that it doesn't consume a large amount of soul power."
"The skill from my Heavenly Might Griffin left-arm soul bone is called Holy Light Burst God Fist, and its power is comparable to the eighth soul skill of a Soul Douluo!"
Qian Daoliu said in disbelief, "I never expected that absorbing this ten-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone would allow you to jump six levels!"
"It is all thanks to Master's help; otherwise, how could I possibly have been a match for this Heavenly Might Griffin?" Li Jiutian said humbly.
"Good! Your master will take you to hunt your fourth soul beast. Let's go!" Qian Daoliu laughed heartily; he hadn't felt this happy in a long time.
My brother and I are the same age, yet our soul power differs by a full ten levels. I fear there is no one in this world more outstanding than my brother! Luo Zixuan thought to herself as she hugged Li Jiutian's arm.
One hour later.
"Master, let's take a break. We haven't seen a suitable soul beast along this path." After saying this, Li Jiutian sat down on a rock.
Just then, a series of noises and the cries of a soul beast suddenly echoed from not far away.
Luo Zixuan scanned the surroundings with her beautiful, vigilant eyes.
"Do not worry. It is likely another team of soul masters hunting a soul beast. With me here, no one can touch a single hair on your heads," Qian Daoliu said calmly.
"Great Protector, look! What kind of soul beast is that?" Luo Zixuan pointed at a ball of fire in the distance and shouted.
"That is actually... a thirty-thousand-year cultivation Flame Venerable!"
"It should be a soul beast from the Crimson Flame Canyon. Why would it be in the Star Dou Great Forest?" Qian Daoliu pondered with a deep frown.
"Master, what kind of place is the Crimson Flame Canyon?" Li Jiutian asked, puzzled.
"It is a place where humans cannot survive; it is like hell."
"The temperature on the outskirts of the Crimson Flame Canyon reaches 50 degrees, and the closer you get to the center, the higher the temperature rises."
"Most importantly, there is a terrifying soul beast in the heart of the canyon that even I am no match for," Qian Daoliu replied, shaking his head.
"What kind of soul beast could it be that even you are not its match?" Li Jiutian continued to ask.
"It is the overlord of the Crimson Flame Canyon, the six-hundred-thousand-year soul beast Crimson Flame Demon Emperor, a dual-attribute beast of darkness and fire."
"Disciple, why don't you use this Flame Venerable as your fourth soul ring?" No sooner had Qian Daoliu finished speaking than a giant emerald-green snake suddenly lunged out, slamming into the Flame Venerable and knocking it three kilometers away!
Standing atop the giant snake's head was a man clad in green armor.
"Dugu Bo, you have a lot of nerve!"
"Come, follow me to meet him!" After saying this, Qian Daoliu took the lead and darted toward Dugu Bo.
Li Jiutian nodded slightly at Luo Zixuan, and the two followed closely behind.
"Beautiful! As expected of the Poison Douluo!" a man in golden armor said excitedly.
Standing beside this man were over a hundred Heaven Dou knights; he was none other than the Fourth Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Beng.
"Leave that Flame Venerable with a breath of life; I want to take it back to the palace dungeon!" Xue Beng reminded him.
Just then, the Flame Venerable suddenly transformed into its true form.
It stood upright, a pair of black devil horns sprouted from its head, and its entire body erupted in flames, making its features impossible to discern.
"Hmm!" Dugu Bo responded softly, and then the Jade Scale Snake Emperor charged fiercely toward the Flame Venerable!
At this moment, a pillar of fire erupted from the Flame Venerable's body!
Dugu Bo let out a cold snort, and a beam of white light appeared from the head of the Jade Scale Snake Emperor, shooting straight toward the pillar of fire!
The instant the pillar of fire made contact with the white light, it was completely petrified! The Jade Scale Snake Emperor then whipped its tail, sending the Flame Venerable flying ten kilometers away!
"You didn't stay put in your own territory, yet you dare to come to the Star Dou Great Ginseng Forest!"
"Prince Xue Beng, you may send your men to capture it now!"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly.
"I saw it first, you cannot capture it!"
Just as Prince Xue Beng was about to give the order, a deep, resonant voice echoed from all directions.
"Who is playing tricks? Show yourself at once!"
Dugu Bo looked around vigilantly and shouted.
"Dugu Bo, you have quite the arrogance now!"
In a mere instant, Qian Daoliu descended from the sky and landed before Xue Beng and the others, a powerful sense of oppression instantly washing over them!
"This aura... could it be that you... you are!"
Dugu Bo swallowed hard, wishing he could flee this place of trouble immediately.
"Who are you, old man, to dare address our Elder Poison by his name!"
Xue Beng said disdainfully; after all, how could he have ever met a legendary figure like Qian Daoliu?
"It has been a long time since anyone dared to speak to me like that!"
Qian Daoliu laughed heartily, then flicked his left hand gently. With a "swish," Xue Beng's left arm was severed instantly.
Two seconds later, Xue Beng finally reacted, screaming at the top of his lungs: "Ah! My left arm!"
