Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast! Six-Winged Darkgold Tiger!

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Davis growled, his voice trembling.

It was not just him—Starcrown Duke and Zhu Zhuyun behind him rubbed their eyes in disbelief as well.

"Millennium soul rings! Prince Xue Xing! What is going on here?" Starcrown Duke looked at Prince Xue Xing before him.

A Soul Master's first and second soul rings could absorb at most century-level soul rings. Even six-year-old children knew that common sense!

Yet the youth before them had utterly overturned their worldview!

"How ignorant. They're only two millennium soul rings. If Heaven Dou were willing, we could even produce a genius whose first soul ring was ten thousand years old."

Prince Xue Xing wore an expression that said Heaven Dou was number one under heaven.

He was not bragging, either.

With Lin Ya's talent, he would probably be able to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring once he reached level 40.

Starcrown Duke took a deep breath. Seeing that Davis had yet to recover from his shock, he hurriedly reminded him, "Davis! They're only two millennium soul rings! They aren't ten-thousand-year soul rings. What are you afraid of?"

Davis stared at Starcrown Duke in disbelief.

Did you hear yourself?

Those were two millennium soul rings! Using my two century-level soul rings against them—wasn't that just blatant bullying?

Starcrown Duke was helpless too. He could hardly say something like, "Davis, you can't beat him. Hurry back."

The look Starcrown Duke gave Lin Ya grew increasingly hostile.

Why was such a gifted youth not from Star Luo Empire?

At that moment, Starcrown Duke truly harbored killing intent. However, seeing Zhi Lin, the Soul Douluo before him, along with the large group of Soul Masters, he ultimately suppressed it.

If he dared to make a move, the other side only needed to send Zhi Lin, the Soul Douluo, to hold him off. Then Xue Xing, who could fly, could calmly take the boy away—and might even kill Davis and Zhu Zhuyun while he was at it...

Damn it!

Was Heaven Dou insane? They had sent so many people just to hunt a second soul ring! Anyone who did not know better would think they were hunting a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!

Davis also tried hard to calm his agitated emotions.

"They're only two millennium soul rings. I'm a level-25 Grand Soul Master!"

White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!

Davis was about to use his soul skill again, but Lin Ya had already moved.

"First soul skill, Spirit Binding and General Summoning."

Buzz!

A purple soul ring blazed brilliantly. Then, it transformed into a burly figure that stood directly before Lin Ya—it was the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear!

The White Tiger Fierce Light Wave slammed into the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear, knocking it back several steps.

However, that was all.

A 2,000-year Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear was already enough to crush any Soul Elder. Even some Soul Ancestors with inferior martial souls were no match for it, and it might not necessarily lose even against a Soul King!

Though its strength had weakened somewhat after becoming a soul spirit, Davis's attack could at most make it bleed a little.

Oh, no—now that it was a soul body, it could not bleed...

That made it even less frightening!

The Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear roared as its Berserk skill activated. Its massive body charged straight at Davis like a dump truck!

"What kind of soul skill is this?!"

Davis had never seen a soul skill like this before. He had never heard of a soul ring turning into a soul beast!

But he had no time to think. Facing the terrifying Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear, he could only go all out!

"White Tiger Bodyguard Barrier!"

Davis roared, and pale yellow soul power surged from his body, forming a transparent protective barrier around him.

"Dead bear! I refuse to believe that a dead bear like you can break my—"

Before Davis could finish, the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear soul spirit had already arrived before him.

Soul skill! Darkgold Terrorclaw!

Bang!!

The enormous bear claw struck Davis squarely in the face. Though the White Tiger Bodyguard Barrier absorbed some of the force, the remaining power still sent Davis flying like a kite with its string cut.

"Y-you..." Before Davis could finish speaking, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Seeing his face swollen like a pig's head, Starcrown Duke clenched his fists so tightly they nearly bled.

A genius like Davis had not even lasted one exchange.

This guy was terrifying like a monster!

Starcrown Duke hurried to Davis's side. Only after confirming that Davis was not dead did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Judging by the state he was in, though, he would probably be bedridden for ten days to half a month.

"Lin Ya, was it? I'll remember you." Starcrown Duke gave Lin Ya a deep look, then flung the five chunks of ore in his hand at him.

The ore flew like meteors, carrying soul power with them. However, Zhi Lin, the Soul Douluo, extended a hand, and an emerald-green vine appeared out of thin air, directly blocking the ores before gently dragging them down and placing them in front of Lin Ya.

Seeing this, Xue Xing chuckled. "Hahaha, terribly sorry about that. Xiao Ya hit a little too hard. We'll be more careful next time, next time."

"There'll be a next time?!" Starcrown Duke shot Xue Xing a glare before leaving behind a harsh warning. "A momentary victory means nothing. I've seen far too many fallen geniuses. Our paths will cross again! Zhu Zhuyun, let's go!"

"Mm." Zhu Zhuyun nodded and hurried after Starcrown Duke.

Their figures swiftly vanished, but before she disappeared, Zhu Zhuyun gave Lin Ya an incomparably serious look, as though she wanted to etch his face into her mind forever.

"Hahaha!" Xue Xing's delighted laughter rang through the entire Star Dou Great Forest.

Whenever he thought of Starcrown Duke's expression—furious enough to kill, yet unable to do anything to him—he felt only one thing!

Awesome!

"Alright, let's set off. It's time to find a suitable eighth soul ring for Soul Douluo Zhi Lin as well."

In high spirits, Prince Xue Xing spoke loudly, taking the initiative to offer his help in hunting a soul ring for Soul Douluo Zhi Lin.

Zhi Lin smiled and nodded. Although hunting a soul ring alone would not be difficult with his strength, having a group of soul masters accompanying him would undoubtedly save him much trouble and reduce the risks.

But just as everyone was about to depart—

ROAR—!!!

A savage beastly roar that shook the mountains and forests, as though it had come from ancient times, suddenly exploded from the sky above Lin Ya's head!

The next second, a terrifying pressure powerful enough to make heaven and earth change color came crashing down like a collapsing mountain, solidly crushing Lin Ya beneath it!

"Xiao Ya!"

Prince Xue Xing's expression changed drastically. He instantly mobilized all his soul power, his soul rings lighting up in rapid succession as he tried to shield Lin Ya from the deadly pressure.

Yet Lin Ya seemed completely unaware of it, utterly ignoring the crushing pressure on his body. His gaze remained fixed on the terrifying figure that blotted out the sky!

It was a peerless ferocious tiger, dark gold all over and covered in mottled patterns. But what was most chilling was—

Three pairs of incomparably massive divine wings spread open behind its back, every feather flowing with an aura of destruction capable of tearing apart the heavens and annihilating all things!

Looking at that colossal beast, Lin Ya's heart suddenly pounded wildly. He recognized its identity almost instantly!

It was the fiercest vanguard commander under the Beast God Di Tian when he led the soul beast army to attack Shrek City ten thousand years later, during the era of Douluo Continent II!

"A hundred-thousand-year soul beast... the Six-Winged Darkgold Tiger!!"
