Razorclaw Thunder Dragon and Thunder Dragon Claw

In any Soul Beast habitat, the Soul Beasts living on the outskirts were usually weak. This was common sense, and Thunder Grand Canyon was no exception.

The outermost areas of Thunder Grand Canyon were home to ten-year Soul Beasts and some weaker hundred-year Soul Beasts.

For ordinary Soul Masters without any backing, choosing such Spirit Rings for their first ring was the safer option.

But Lin Yan and Bei Bei obviously would not.

They were both genius Soul Masters with unparalleled talent and powerful family backgrounds. Naturally, they had no interest in such trash Spirit Rings.

The group of four ventured a thousand meters into the canyon, and the quality of the Soul Beasts appearing around them visibly improved. Ten-year Soul Beasts were almost nowhere to be seen; the weakest were all hundred-year ones.

Even so, they posed little real threat to Lin Yan's group.

Not to mention Lin Yuhuan, a Titled Douluo—even Zhang Lexuan alone, as a Soul Sage, could stroll through the area unhindered.

Both Lin Yan and Bei Bei needed their first Spirit Rings.

According to Spirit Ring absorption theory, a Soul Master's first Spirit Ring was best at around four hundred years.

There were many Soul Beasts in the valley with four hundred years of cultivation.

However, finding Soul Beasts whose attributes perfectly matched the two of them would still take some effort.

The group searched the canyon for half a day before finally discovering a Soul Beast suitable for Bei Bei.

Lin Yan's gaze immediately fell upon it, and surprise appeared in his eyes.

This Soul Beast looked remarkably like the velociraptors he had seen in films in his previous life.

It was three meters long and two meters tall at the shoulder. Its sharp maw was filled with razor-like fangs. It walked upright on its hind legs, while its forelimbs ended in a pair of savage giant claws.

"Razorclaw Thunder Dragon. We finally found one."

As Lin Yan studied the imposing Soul Beast, Zhang Lexuan's delighted voice suddenly came from beside him.

Lin Yan could not help asking, "Sister, is this the Soul Beast suitable for Cousin?"

"Mm."

Zhang Lexuan nodded. "Bei Bei's Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul has a long inheritance. Through the research and comparisons of generations of predecessors, it was discovered that the most suitable first Spirit Ring for the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul is the Spirit Ring of a Razorclaw Thunder Dragon."

"Why?" Bei Bei came back to his senses and asked curiously.

Although he was a Soul Master with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul, he was only six years old. He had not even learned all his characters yet, so naturally, he did not know much about martial souls and Soul Masters.

Zhang Lexuan explained, "Because generations of ancestors have confirmed that once a Razorclaw Thunder Dragon becomes the first Spirit Ring of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul, it will definitely provide the soul skill Thunder Dragon Claw."

"This soul skill can be used for ranged attacks or close combat, and it also provides a certain boost to one's attributes. It remains highly useful even at higher levels. It is practically a soul skill tailor-made for Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Soul Masters."

"Therefore, Soul Masters with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul will try their best to find a Razorclaw Thunder Dragon for their first Spirit Ring!"

With Zhang Lexuan's detailed explanation, Lin Yan and Bei Bei both understood.

At the same time, a figure swiftly shot out. It was Lin Yuhuan.

The group only saw a black shadow flash before Lin Yuhuan appeared above the Razorclaw Thunder Dragon's head. She slowly pressed down with both palms, and a terrifying pressure instantly crashed onto the Razorclaw Thunder Dragon's body.

The next moment, a bone-cracking sound that made their scalps tingle rang out.

The Razorclaw Thunder Dragon's bones shattered completely in an instant. With a miserable howl, it was already on its last breath.

It was Lin Yan's first time seeing Lin Yuhuan make a move, and he was somewhat astonished.

As expected of a Titled Douluo.

The Razorclaw Thunder Dragon, which looked so vicious, was as fragile as a chick in her hands.

Bei Bei stepped forward and ended the Razorclaw Thunder Dragon, which only had its last breath remaining.

Light gathered, and a yellow ring with a diameter of half a meter condensed above the Razorclaw Thunder Dragon's corpse.

"This Razorclaw Thunder Dragon has exactly four hundred years of cultivation. We got lucky on this trip, Bei Bei. This is the Spirit Ring most suitable for you," Lin Yuhuan said.

"Thank you, Grandma."

Looking at the Spirit Ring before him, Bei Bei could not hide the excitement in his eyes.

This was an important moment every Soul Master would experience in their life. Only after obtaining their first Spirit Ring could one be considered a genuine Soul Master, truly stepping through the door into the world of Soul Masters.

Only after Lin Yuhuan and Zhang Lexuan gave Bei Bei a series of instructions did they allow him to absorb the Spirit Ring.

While Bei Bei absorbed the Spirit Ring, Lin Yan moved closer to the Razorclaw Thunder Dragon's corpse and studied it curiously.

It was his first time seeing a Soul Beast so similar to a dinosaur, whether in this life or his previous one. His curiosity was immediately stirred.

As he examined it, Lin Yuhuan came over and began inspecting the Razorclaw Thunder Dragon's corpse.

Lin Yan knew what she was doing. She was probably looking for a Spirit Bone.

Like Spirit Rings, Spirit Bones were things that could only appear after a Soul Beast died.

However, compared to Spirit Rings, Spirit Bones were far more important.

Every Soul Beast would produce a Spirit Ring after death. But not every Soul Beast would produce a Spirit Bone.

The chance of a Spirit Bone appearing was extremely low. Only after thousands upon thousands of Soul Beasts died might a Spirit Bone appear. Unless it was a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast—only hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts were guaranteed to leave behind Spirit Bones after death.

However, hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts were kings among Soul Beasts. Hunting them was a task as difficult as ascending to heaven!

"No Spirit Bone. It would still make decent food."

After failing to find a Spirit Bone, Lin Yuhuan stored the Razorclaw Thunder Dragon's corpse in her storage soul tool.

Time passed second by second as they waited.

Because this Spirit Ring was close to the limit of what a one-ring Soul Master could absorb, it took relatively long to absorb.

Bei Bei took an hour and a half to complete the absorption.

"Grandma, Sister, Cousin, I've become a Soul Master!"

Bei Bei happily stood up.

Lin Yan walked over to him and asked curiously, "Cousin, can you show me your soul skill?"

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul was a top-tier martial soul passed down for ten thousand years. During the era of Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago, it had been called the strongest beast martial soul of the assault type. As a transmigrator, Lin Yan was naturally full of curiosity about this renowned martial soul.

"Sure!"

Bei Bei nodded, then released his martial soul.

Rumble—

Thunder roared alongside a dragon's cry.

A dazzling blue light bloomed.

Bei Bei's short dark-blue hair fluttered gently, revealing the lightning mark glowing on his forehead.

There were not many changes to his body. The greatest change was in his right arm.

The sleeve on his right side burst apart entirely due to the swelling of his arm, turning to ash. His arm grew half a foot longer, becoming extraordinarily thick and covered in a layer of sturdy, gleaming blue-violet scales.

His hand turned into a claw, its joints thick and savage, like a dragon claw.

A yellow Spirit Ring resembling a halo encircled the arm that had transformed into a dragon claw.

Lin Yan watched Bei Bei's transformation with curiosity written all over his face.

So this was what possession by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul looked like!

It was vastly different from what he had imagined while reading Douluo novels.

"Look, this is my soul skill: Thunder Dragon Claw!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bei Bei's only Spirit Ring lit up. His dragon-claw right arm changed again, becoming even thicker and more dragon-like, while the entire arm was covered in blue-violet currents that writhed like little snakes.

Bei Bei slapped the rock beside him.

The rock, which stood as tall as a person, shattered immediately.

"This is close combat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, lightning condensed into a glowing dragon claw around a foot long. It shot out like a bolt of electricity and shattered another distant rock.

"This is ranged combat!"

Bei Bei withdrew his hand and stood tall.

The sight left Lin Yan secretly clicking his tongue.

No wonder Douluo Continent revered Soul Masters so highly, with everyone trying desperately to become one. Soul Masters truly could grant people strength far beyond ordinary humans.

Without martial souls, who would have imagined that a six-year-old child could possess the strength to smash a rock with one punch?
