Silvermoon Mad Lion, Thousand-Year Soul Bone

Under the powerful spiritual detection of Du Busi and Jin Peng, the two Super Douluo, the soul beasts of the Mixed Area had nowhere to hide. They quickly found a soul beast suitable for Zhang Lexuan to absorb.

A mutated variant of the Blazing Flame Mad Lion—the Silvermoon Mad Lion.

It was a lion-type soul beast covered from head to toe in silver-white fur as cold and pristine as moonlight. Every strand gleamed with a metallic chill, while its eyes resembled two miniature full moons, liquid silver radiance swirling deep within its pupils.

Du Busi stopped in his tracks, a satisfied smile appearing on his face. "Looks like our luck is pretty good. We found a soul beast suitable for Xiao Xuan so quickly, and it's an exceptionally rare one at that."

"As a mutated variant of the Blazing Flame Mad Lion, the Silvermoon Mad Lion has completely transcended the realm of ordinary soul beasts. It has lost its control over the fire attribute, but it can absorb and store moonlight essence, fighting with the power of moonlight. A Silvermoon Mad Lion that has just reached a thousand years of cultivation can even rival a Blazing Flame Mad Lion nearing three thousand years."

"And this Silvermoon Mad Lion clearly has three thousand five hundred years of cultivation. That is just right for you."

Listening to Du Busi's explanation, Zhang Lexuan nodded seriously.

This was also her first time seeing such a soul beast.

But without question, it was extremely compatible with her.

As Du Busi explained things to Zhang Lexuan, Golden Body Douluo Jin Peng's figure flickered silently beside them. In the next instant, he appeared directly before the Silvermoon Mad Lion.

Seeing a human suddenly appear before it, the Silvermoon Mad Lion was visibly startled. Its four limbs exploded with force as it tried to escape Jin Peng's grasp.

But it was merely a soul beast with three thousand five hundred years of cultivation. Before Jin Peng, a ninety-sixth-rank Super Douluo, it had no room whatsoever to resist.

In just an instant, Jin Peng firmly pinned the Silvermoon Mad Lion to the ground. No matter how it struggled, it could not break free.

"Behave!"

Jin Peng struck the Silvermoon Mad Lion once, instantly draining it of all strength. Only the faint twitching of its limbs proved that it was still alive.

"Go absorb the Soul Ring. A compatible mutated soul beast like this should bring you a decent soul skill."

Du Busi stood with his hands behind his back, looking somewhat arrogant and self-assured. Yet in truth, he had been watching the surroundings the entire time. After all, he had personally experienced the beast tide of the Star Dou Great Forest. He had to remain vigilant at all times and ensure Ye An's safety.

If it had been Xuan Zi instead... he would probably have been holding a wine gourd in one hand and a chicken leg in the other, eating and drinking while getting a genius killed.

Huh? Why am I thinking about that unlucky fellow?

Ye An shivered instinctively, then looked at Zhang Lexuan with a smile. "Sister Xuan, go absorb that Soul Ring. Once you're done, we'll go hunt a Soul Ring suitable for me."

At those words, Zhang Lexuan nodded firmly. She then released Ye An's hand and slowly walked toward the Silvermoon Mad Lion, which was already on the verge of death.

A full moon suddenly appeared above Zhang Lexuan's head. Cold moonlight fell over her, making her already exquisite features appear even more aloof and noble.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Lexuan's first Soul Ring beneath her feet flickered faintly, and a beam of moonlight condensed at her fingertips. In the next instant, she swept her fingers forward, unleashing an arc of moonlight that ended the Silvermoon Mad Lion's life.

A moment later, a slightly eerie purple Soul Ring floated above the Silvermoon Mad Lion's corpse.

Already experienced in this, Zhang Lexuan immediately sat down cross-legged, drawing the purple Soul Ring toward herself and absorbing it into her body.

Just as Zhang Lexuan began absorbing the Soul Ring, Jin Peng gave a soft exclamation from the side.

He strode forward and kicked aside the Silvermoon Mad Lion's corpse, revealing a Soul Bone beneath it, white as jade from end to end. A faint white glow radiated from it, as though it were bathed in moonlight.

"Hm? This thousand-year soul beast actually dropped a Soul Bone?"

"That's right. A right leg bone."

Jin Peng hooked the Soul Bone up and held it in his hand, weighing it lightly.

Du Busi's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face.

But... that was all.

It was only a thousand-year Soul Bone, not enough to warrant his attention. Nor would he let the extraordinarily talented Zhang Lexuan and Ye An absorb a Soul Bone with merely a thousand years of age.

In his view, supreme geniuses like them needed at least a ten-thousand-year Soul Bone before it was worth absorbing.

Still, this Soul Bone could be left for Xiao An and Xiao Xuan. When they traveled on their own in the future, they could dispose of it as they pleased. Whether they sold it for money or traded it for something else would be entirely up to them.

As the dignified Sect Master of the Body Sect, he would not stoop to keeping a thousand-year Soul Bone for himself.

Having undergone several medicinal baths, consumed Whale Glue, and tempered her body in Hurricane Cave, Zhang Lexuan's physical constitution had long been greatly enhanced. Although she was absorbing a three-thousand-five-hundred-year Soul Ring beyond her limit, she did not feel any pain.

Before long, Zhang Lexuan slowly opened her eyes, a faint delight surfacing on her face.

Her strength had grown again... which meant she was getting closer and closer to avenging herself!

Du Busi nodded inwardly, though his expression remained unchanged. "What soul skill did this Silvermoon Mad Lion give you?"

After sensing it briefly, Zhang Lexuan said, "My third soul skill. I named it Moonlight Sky Thrust. Its effect is divided into two stages. The first stage can accumulate moonlight essence, granting me a one-hundred-and-twenty-percent increase to all attributes. The second stage can detonate the moonlight essence and deal damage to the enemy."

Du Busi raised his brows, surprise appearing on his face.

The effect of this soul skill... was not weak at all!

For a third soul skill, granting a one-hundred-and-twenty-percent increase to all attributes was already excellent, not to mention that it also had a second-stage effect.

When facing an enemy, if they regarded this skill as merely a buffing soul skill, they would definitely suffer badly.

Du Busi nodded approvingly. "Not bad. This soul skill is very good. Also... this Silvermoon Mad Lion dropped a right leg bone. Though a thousand-year Soul Bone like this is not worth absorbing, it is still a Soul Bone and has some value."

"Put it away. When you and Xiao An travel in the future, you can decide for yourselves how to deal with it."

As he spoke, Du Busi took two small rings from his Storage Soul Tool and tossed one each to Ye An and Zhang Lexuan.

"Take these Storage Soul Tools. The storage space isn't particularly large, only one hundred cubic meters, but it should be enough for now."
