Reaping the Leeks, Abundant Ebon Deer · Beast King!

Blood flowed as a corpse slowly collapsed.

With a single slash, Jingliu beheaded the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Titan Giant Ape on the spot.

Before the Titan Giant Ape's body could hit the ground, a blue-white flash turned it into an ice sculpture.

In the blink of an eye, the Titan Giant Ape was dead.

From its entrance to its defeat, the Ape God had not even lasted a minute before dying on the spot.

"Gulp~"

Seeing this, the five Shrek Academy students watching from afar all swallowed hard.

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, killed in one move?!

Even Super Douluo could not achieve that, could they? Perhaps only the continent's peak combatants—

Level 99 Peerless Douluo could do it.

Moreover, Jingliu had not used a single soul skill. She had killed a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast with her Tool Martial Soul alone.

What did that mean?

Killing them would be as easy as killing chickens. She would not even need a second slash.

"Pathetically weak."

Jingliu flipped her small hand and twirled her sword, leaving behind those icy words.

Only then did a blood-red Soul Ring slowly condense above the Titan Giant Ape's frozen corpse.

A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!

Whenever a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast died, it would inevitably drop a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, along with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

It was the greatest treasure on every soul master's dream list. Even a colossal power like Spirit Hall would be tempted by it.

Zhao Wuji's eyes grew heated as he watched, but he quickly calmed down.

But...

Before three Titled Douluo, he could only think about it.

Sparkle had already put on the Mask of Elation, while March 7th held her bow and stood guard over the spoils with Jingliu.

Having witnessed Pathetic Wretch's betrayal of his teammates, Jingliu and the others remained sharp-eyed and even more vigilant.

Naturally, Xu Yuan would not let prey that had fallen into his hands escape.

Light flickered at his fingertips as he revealed an item.

[Soul Ring Sealing Card]

[Type: Sealing Item (Three-Star)]

[Effect: After use, can seal the corpse/Soul Ring of any Soul Beast with cultivation below three hundred thousand years.]

[Note: Amethyst Seal is the MVP matchmaker.]

This was the reward he had obtained after the previous Honkai main storyline. It was perfect for this situation.

Taking two steps forward, Xu Yuan pressed the purple blank card against the Titan Giant Ape ice sculpture.

The next second.

Before Ning Rongrong and the others' astonished eyes, the Titan Giant Ape's mountain-sized corpse was absorbed into the card.

To the current Xu Yuan, the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone that ordinary soul masters coveted...

Were nothing more than small fry.

Unless it was Ferocious Beast-level loot over two hundred thousand years old, he would not even spare it a second glance.

What was the real focus?

The rewards from the main storyline's Honkai Progress Bar, and... the foresight to cast a long line for a big fish.

Otherwise, would Pathetic Wretch and Rogue Rabbit have been able to run away?

Xu Yuan glanced at the system inventory. Inside lay a new [Contract Summoning Card].

Who would it summon this time?

Xu Yuan felt that his team had more than enough damage and crowd control. The only thing it lacked was...

Support.

A support who could buff teammates, a healer with sustained recovery, or perhaps someone who could provide special buffs.

Any one of them would do. He was not picky.

Of course, interdimensional summoning depended heavily on luck. Until the dust settled, anything was possible.

According to Murphy's Law, the more you wanted something, the less likely it was to appear.

Crying, screaming, and sobbing your heart out would not help.

As a veteran card-pulling prisoner, Xu Yuan knew this mystical rule all too well.

Back to the point, summoning a new companion would have to wait.

There were two more important matters at hand: the Thousand-Year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent storyline and the Man Faced Demon Spider.

Meanwhile, in the core region of the Great Star Dou Forest.

"Splash, splash~~"

The lake water churned as a massive azure Soul Beast with a bull's head and python's body raised its head and slowly emerged from the water.

Revealing its enormous hundred-meter-long body.

It was the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast—the Sky Azure Bull Python.

Its other identity was Daming, the one Rogue Rabbit Xiao Wu had spoken of.

"Er Ming, why has his aura suddenly disappeared??"

The Sky Azure Bull Python suddenly felt hollow inside, as though a huge piece of its heart had been carved out with a knife. It was sorrowful and miserable.

Impossible. Titan Giant Ape Er Ming was also a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Who in the Great Star Dou Forest could kill him?

Even ordinary Titled Douluo were no match for Er Ming.

Just as the Sky Azure Bull Python was utterly baffled, it suddenly sensed a familiar aura approaching.

Sister Xiao Wu?

The Sky Azure Bull Python swayed its hundred-meter body and emerged from the lake, full of doubts as it went to find Xiao Wu.

As for guarding the Lake of Life?

To the Sky Azure Bull Python, Xiao Wu was more important.

Over on Xu Yuan's side, a group of uninvited guests also appeared.

More precisely, two elderly people and one young woman.

At their head stood an elderly man with a full head of silver hair.

He held a four-meter-long bright silver dragon-headed cane. His face was covered in wrinkles, and eight Soul Rings pulsed around him.

The elderly woman also had a head of white hair. She held a three-meter-long snake-headed cane in her right hand, while six Soul Rings rose around her.

A young woman followed beside the two elders.

She had short hair cut to ear length and appeared to be around seventeen. Her neat combat outfit tightly outlined her well-developed figure.

The Unrivaled Dragon Serpent couple, along with their granddaughter Meng Yiran.

Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Serpent Grandmother Chao Tianxiang.

The Unrivaled Dragon Serpent couple had stumbled into this battlefield while tracking a Thousand-Year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent.

"This junior, Dragon Duke, greets the two Your Excellencies."

Dragon Duke Meng Shu saw Sparkle and March 7th, along with the nine Soul Rings on the two women, and respectfully greeted them.

"Leave at once. This is no place for you to linger."

Xu Yuan held Dawnmaker, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

Dragon Duke Meng Shu looked at Xu Yuan. He was about the same age as his granddaughter, yet he was actually a Soul Emperor!

Two black, two red, and two gold.

That heaven-defying configuration of six Soul Rings was utterly shocking. Since when had such a monstrous genius appeared on the continent?

"Yes, Your Excellency. We shall take our leave at once."

Dragon Duke Meng Shu did not dare delay. He stomped his dragon-headed cane against the ground, transforming it into a bright silver dragon claw.

It seized the unconscious Thousand-Year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, after which he swiftly departed with Serpent Grandmother and his granddaughter Meng Yiran.

Zhao Wuji could only look helplessly at the sight, while Oscar broke down in tears on the spot.

The Soul Beast he had set his heart on was gone, and he had been betrayed by a teammate too. The double blow left his face utterly dejected.

Xu Yuan ignored Shrek Academy's remaining five people. He had enjoyed reaping the leeks today, so he had to let them grow a little longer.

Furthermore, a new reward quietly arrived.

It was the reward for changing the storyline so that Oscar failed to obtain that Thousand-Year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent.

[Main Storyline Honkai Progress Bar: 25%. Reward: [Abundant Ebon Deer · Beast King] Summoning Card ×1]

With a glance, the information on the Summoning Card surfaced.

[Abundant Ebon Deer · Beast King (Attributes: Lightning/Wood)]

[Level: Eight-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast]

[Abilities: Ambrosial Arbor Body, Revitalization, Raging Thunder Prison, Heaven-Sent Lightning Punishment, Abundance Vine Sea Barrier, Sushui Branch, Tip of the Goldleaf Branch, Fanhuā Branch, Jiashe Branch]

Well then, it had the combat power of an elite boss from the storyline.

It had held back experts like Jing Yuan and Dan Heng. Though defeated, it had lost with honor.

After all, it was an Abundance abomination guardian born from the Ambrosial Arbor. It excelled at both offense and defense, and its sustain was practically unbeatable.

Its Spotted Dragon Touch area attack alone was a rookie killer.
