Open the Barrier! Hurry!

The light was so bright that he had to squint.

As he narrowed his eyes, Lu Yuan leaned out of the truck window and spoke.

"Take it up with your insurance company."

Wesley froze, baffled.

"What?"

The next instant, an indescribably terrifying surge of soul power erupted from inside Big Luck!

Boom!!!

Lu Yuan pulled his head back inside. His gaze turned cold as he slammed the accelerator to the floor!

Big Luck's engine let out a thunderous roar!

The load indicator on the dashboard jumped wildly.

[Overload Mechanism activated!]

[Current load: 100,000 tons!]

Vroom!

Big Luck became a colossal beast of steel!

Its wheels rolled over stones in the dirt, grinding them to powder!

"Hm? This is bad!"

Wesley's pupils contracted. He shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Raise the barriers! Hurry, raise the barriers!"

Soul power poured from his body as he unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar!

Layers of Soul Power Barriers sprang up before him, stacking like eggshells!

The twenty Soul Kings and three Soul Emperors behind him reacted just as quickly, pouring out their soul power.

They tried to stop the steel behemoth they thought had gone out of control!

It made no difference.

Crash!!!!!!

A deafening impact shook the earth.

Big Luck plowed into the ranks of Soul Emperors and Soul Kings!

The layers of Soul Power Barriers shattered on contact like paper!

They did not hold for even a second!

The three Soul Emperors' Martial Soul Avatars broke apart. The shockwave hurled them into the forest, where they snapped several trees before coming to a stop.

The twenty Soul Kings fared even worse. Like bowling pins struck by a ball, they were all sent flying even farther, straight into a lake...

Even Wesley, a level eighty-one Soul Douluo, had fully unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar and stacked nine barriers before him.

But against Big Luck...

Nine barriers.

Not one remained.

All shattered.

"No!!!"

Horror filled Wesley's eyes and spread across his face. His scream rose so high it cracked.

Bang!

The next moment, he flew off his feet like a boulder launched from a catapult!

He sailed over the lake too.

Then, with a splash!

He landed in the water.

The entire road fell silent.

The watching soul masters stood frozen, mouths agape, unable to believe what they had seen.

Big Luck did not stop. It drove on.

Only after it had dwindled to a distant speck did the soul masters let out a breath. Patting their chests, they thanked their luck that they had not joined the blockade and been sent flying too...

Just then, Big Luck's horn blared in the distance.

It was so loud that it rang across the exit of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"When Big Luck honks, your life starts over!"

The soul masters looked at one another. Not one dared give chase.

After sending Wesley and the others flying, Lu Yuan drove straight to the home he had bought in Cangshi Town. He planned to eat, then head back to tidy the place up a little.

When he arrived, he found that everything inside had been turned over, as though someone had plowed through the house.

"These people..." Lu Yuan shook his head and sighed at the mess.

He decided not to clean up yet and went into town to get something to eat.

Lately, he had been living on barbecue and dried pork and beef. It was all too dry. He wanted something to drink, or a bowl of noodles to settle his stomach.

After eating, Lu Yuan drove Big Luck back into the Star Dou Great Forest.

He intended to find his fourth Spirit Ring.

And that ring had to come from a hundred-thousand-year-old Spirit Beast.

"First ring, ten thousand years. Second, a hundred thousand. Third, ninety thousand..."

With one hand on the wheel and a toothpick in the other, Lu Yuan picked his teeth and muttered.

"For the fourth Spirit Ring, I still need to find something with the toughest defense to ram."

"Otherwise, where's the satisfaction in hitting it..."

A wild gleam lit his eyes, and he grinned.

Before long, Lu Yuan gathered information from other soul masters and settled on a target.

Deep in the Star Dou Depths lay an enclosed canyon ringed by cliffs.

A Spirit Beast lived there.

The Black-Armored Rock Lizard.

A hundred thousand years old.

It stood at the pinnacle of earth-attribute defense, its rocky armor as heavy as a mountain.

People claimed that "even a Soul Douluo's full-force attack couldn't put a dent in it"!

Deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, it was notorious for being both tough and stubborn.

Provoke it, and the Black-Armored Rock Lizard would chase you for hundreds of miles. It would not stop until you were dead.

That was why even many Titled Douluo did not dare provoke it lightly.

Lu Yuan had barely entered the Star Dou Great Forest when another group arrived.

They entered the forest too, following behind him...

Spirit Hall still refused to give up. It had sent another team after him.

A Titled Douluo led them.

"Is he really going to fight the Black-Armored Rock Lizard?"

"That thing's defense is second to none! Its armor is harder than refined steel. What's he going to ram it with? That beat-up Handcart? His head?"

"Hahaha! He only killed the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound because he got lucky. Against a hundred-thousand-year-old defensive beast, he won't even break its skin. The Black-Armored Rock Lizard will tear him apart!"

"If he rams it, I'll eat that Martial Soul Flatbed Truck!"

The team's members kept up their jeers. None believed Lu Yuan could ram the Black-Armored Rock Lizard to death, much less defeat it.

True, Lu Yuan had sent Spirit Hall's Soul Douluo flying.

But that did not mean the Black-Armored Rock Lizard was weaker than a Soul Douluo. Even Titled Douluo avoided it, let alone a boy with only three Spirit Rings.

Everyone was waiting to see Lu Yuan make a fool of himself.

As far as they were concerned, going after the Black-Armored Rock Lizard was a death sentence.

Deep in the canyon.

The Black-Armored Rock Lizard slowly opened its eyes, sensing an intruder in its territory.

Roar!

Its roar shook the heavens and earth.

The Black-Armored Rock Lizard emerged from the depths of the cliffs, one step at a time. Each footfall shook the ground.

Heavy rock armor covered its body, ancient patterns etched across its shell.

As Big Luck approached.

The Black-Armored Rock Lizard's crimson eyes locked onto the iron vehicle, tiny compared with itself.

"Found you at last!"

In the driver's seat, Lu Yuan's eyes lit up when he saw the Black-Armored Rock Lizard come out on its own.

Rather than back Big Luck away, he shifted gears.

Second gear.

Third gear.

Fifth gear!

"My Big Luck doesn't need brakes!!!"
