When Big Luck Roars, Life Takes a Turn!

The century-old Red-Mane Fanged Boar at the front—the one that had just roared—was the first to suffer.

Big Luck's cab slammed into the boar's face. Both tusks snapped, and it flew backward like a cannonball, spraying blood in midair. Bones broken and tendons torn, it died on the spot.

Before Lu Yuan could take another look, the boar's corpse vanished into thin air.

A moment later, a muffled thud came from Big Luck's Cargo Box. The boar's corpse had been placed inside its storage space automatically.

"Huh? It even has storage? That's Big Luck for you! Hahaha..."

Lu Yuan kept driving Big Luck through the forest, smashing through everything in his path and slaughtering all around him.

Before long, Spirit Beast corpses filled half the Cargo Box. Red-Mane Fanged Boars, Ferocious Wind Wolves, and others lay piled together like a small hill. The Cargo Box's storage capacity was astonishing: it packed every gap tight and even shrank the corpses slightly.

Lu Yuan drove on. Wherever a Spirit Beast roared or charged out, he steered straight for it. With his current level-50 strength, he could slaughter at will here.

The more he hit, the fiercer Big Luck became, and the corpses kept piling up in the Cargo Box.

Once they filled more than half of it, the Cargo Box shrank them again, as though it could never be filled.

Just then, a terrifying roar burst from the dense forest in the distance and soared skyward!

"Roar!"

The roar shook the entire mountainside, making even the ground tremble.

Lu Yuan looked ahead.

A massive Ironclad Rhinoceros, its black body covered in armor, burst from the bushes and charged straight toward him.

It stood three or four meters tall, with an enormous horn rising from its snout. Every breath sent out a wave of scorching air, while its armor gleamed like steel beneath the moonlight!

A Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast!

Lu Yuan's pupils contracted.

"A Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast?"

"Didn't the villagers say there were only ordinary Spirit Beasts on the mountain behind the village?"

Lu Yuan had no time to think further. The Ironclad Rhinoceros was charging at him like a tank, its momentum terrifying.

It had to be moving at over a hundred kilometers an hour.

Lu Yuan did not turn the wheel to flee or swerve aside.

Instead, he pressed the clutch and shifted into fifth gear.

The accelerator! Floor it!

"My Big Luck doesn't run away!"

"And Big Luck's acceleration is the finest end-of-life care you'll ever get!"

Lu Yuan's eyes turned cold as he shouted, "Straight ahead!"

A tremendous force pressed him back into his seat.

Big Luck's engine roared through the night, and the truck shot straight toward the Ten-Thousand-Year Armored Rhino.

With less than a hundred meters between them, a chilling gleam flashed across the rhino's armor.

But Lu Yuan felt no fear.

"BOOM!"

An earthshaking crash erupted deep in the forest.

Terrified, the lower-level Spirit Beasts nearby fled in every direction.

At the instant of impact, the Ten-Thousand-Year Armored Rhino might as well have struck a moving fortress of steel. Under the thousand-ton impact, the armor it took such pride in crumpled like paper!

Its horn, as thick as a man's thigh, snapped off and flew away!

Big Luck sent the rhino's huge body flying sideways like a leaf caught in a typhoon.

Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash...

It snapped seven or eight trees before skidding another twenty meters, carving a bloody trail through the ground.

Every bone in the Ten-Thousand-Year Armored Rhino's body shattered. It died on the spot without so much as a groan.

Lu Yuan hit the brakes, shifted into neutral, and jumped down from the cab. Looking down at the rhino he had smashed into a bloody pulp, he let a faint smile cross his face.

Then he drew a deep breath, his gaze sharpening. He pressed a hand against the rhino's enormous corpse and poured Soul Power into it.

A savage surge of Spirit Beast energy struck back at once. Waves of searing pain swept through Lu Yuan's meridians. Iron-gray scales spread across his skin, his muscles swelled rapidly, and his bones ground against one another.

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and endured the pain. Veins bulged on his forehead, but he did not dare relax for an instant.

This was a Ten-Thousand-Year Armored Rhino, after all. He knew how immense the strain and pain would be to absorb one as his very first Spirit Ring.

But Lu Yuan was not afraid!

He had come to this world so no one would treat him like a village watchman again! So no one would call him a fool!

He wanted to become the overlord of Douluo Continent!

Surges of Soul Power washed over and enveloped the wild energy, refining it.

After an unknown length of time, the fierce pain gradually faded.

A warm current, deep and steady, welled up from his marrow.

Black light flared and grew ever deeper as a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring slowly appeared beneath his feet.

Lu Yuan opened his eyes and exhaled. A sharp gleam flashed in his gaze. His body seemed forged anew, and a heavy pressure radiated from his every movement.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, host! You have slain a Ten-Thousand-Year Armored Rhino and gained strength. (Current host level: 29)]

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, host! Conditions for Martial Soul Evolution met... Transformation beginning!]

A moment later, the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring merged with Big Luck.

The truck shuddered violently!

Its metal panels tore apart, reformed, and welded themselves together!

A solid steel plate rose atop the cab.

The cab and Cargo Box were reinforced and sealed. The chassis thickened by a full layer, its six wheels became ten, and rows of sharp metal rams appeared along the edges of the truck bed!

As clouds of black smoke rolled away, the battered Big Luck light truck had become a larger, more ferocious steel beast!

The system's voice continued in Lu Yuan's mind.

[Martial Soul Evolution successful!]

[Maximum load capacity increased from 10 tons to 100 tons!]

[Full-Load Rampage duration increased from 10 minutes to 15 minutes!]

[Current maximum load: 100 tons! (Combined with the host's current strength, equivalent to level-59 combat power.)]

[After activating the Overload Mechanism, load capacity jumps from 100 tons to 1,000 tons. (Combined with the host's current strength, provides level-94 combat power.)]

Lu Yuan stared at the display, unable to react for a long while.

A full ten seconds later, he broke into a grin.

"When Big Luck roars, life takes a turn!"

"Hahahaha..."
