Two Soul Sages, Fully Buffed, Pummel a Thirty-Thousand-Year Mammoth
The main gate of the Blue Tyrant Academy.
Inside the gate, Flender straightened his collar and stepped out, followed by Liu Erlong and Ye Mengyao.
Behind the three were only five students: Lin Xuan, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Tang San.
Tai Long and the others originally wanted to join in the fun, but Flender waved them away and sent them back to the Back Hill for a run.
According to Flender, when a 39,000-year-old Soul Beast gets into a fight, the earth shakes and mountains tremble. If Soul Elder beast gets involved, it's just adding to the chaos. Not only can it not help, but it also distracts others from protecting it.
This time, with the level 78 agility-attack Soul Saint Flander and the level 75 power-attack Soul Saint Liu Erlong working together, they were more than capable of suppressing a mammoth soul beast.
Lin Xuan originally only planned to bring Ning Rongrong along, since this time he wouldn't have to take action, and the Blue Tyrant Team could get some rest.
But Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing insisted on going along.
Since Tang San saw that everyone was going, he naturally wanted to go too, since the five of them could be considered a small group.
Just then, the curtain of the carriage in front was lifted, and Xue Qinghe stepped down.
Xue Qinghe pointed to the carriage behind them:
"Dean Flender, Dean Liu Erlong, Patriarch Ye Family."
"The journey to the hunting grounds is still a hundred li. Please board the last carriage. Our teacher and Sword Douluo are in the first carriage. We will depart immediately."
"Your Highness, you're too kind. Please."
Flender chuckled and was the first to board the carriage.
The group of people climbed into the carriage one by one.
More than an hour later, the sound of horses' hooves outside gradually slowed down.
The carriage curtain was lifted by the accompanying soldiers.
"Your Highness, distinguished guests, we have arrived at the Imperial Hunting Grounds."
Everyone jumped down from the carriage.
Before me lay a mountain range completely enclosed by towering Ironwood fences and high bluestone walls.
A whole battalion of Imperial Guards was stationed at the entrance, with arrow towers standing tall and sentry posts densely packed.
Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi, and Chen Xin were already waiting in front of the gate.
Xue Qinghe led the way, while all the accompanying Imperial Guards remained at the outer camp; only their small squad entered.
Let's go, let's walk in.
"Diamond Mammoth are naturally fond of heat and soil, and they are kept in a Dry Stone Valley on the southeast side."
After walking along the mountain path for about two incense sticks' time, the trees ahead became sparse and withered.
The soil on the ground was a dry, reddish-brown color, and there were broken rocks and rubble everywhere, cracked by the force of the impact.
Just as we rounded a mountain ridge, a heavy, suppressed roar echoed from the depths of the valley.
At the edge of the horizon, an extremely large beast was resting among the pile of rocks.
The behemoth stood over six meters tall at the shoulder, its entire body covered by an incredibly thick, plate-like carapace that was translucent and crystalline like diamonds.
Xue Qinghe stopped and turned to look at Lin Xuan beside him.
"Brother Lin Xuan, this is the 39,000-year-old Diamond Mammoth!"
"Thank you so much, Brother Qinghe!"
After speaking, Lin Xuan took two steps forward, carefully examined the giant beast for a moment, then turned around and bowed to Flender and Liu Erlong with clasped hands.
"Erlong Dean, Dean Flender, we're counting on you!"
Liu Erlong twisted his wrist, and his joints cracked with a series of crisp sounds. Blazing Fire Soul Power instantly surged from his body.
"Lin Xuan, just you wait!"
Flender spread his arms, and seven Soul Ring —two yellow, two purple, and three black—appeared beneath his feet. His pale yellow Cat Eagle wings suddenly unfurled behind him.
"Wait, it won't be long."
The crouching Diamond Mammoth seemed to sense the pressure of the Soul Sage- level expert. It swung its massive head violently and let out a deafening roar.
With a loud bang!
The giant beast rose from the rubble, its heavy hooves pounding the ground and creating four deep craters.
Its beastly eyes, gleaming with a ferocious, blood-red light, were fixed on Liu Erlong, who was charging at the forefront. Its thick, long trunk lifted a massive boulder weighing a thousand pounds and slammed it down with a whooshing sound!
Beware of its power!
Flender swayed, using the speed of his Cat Eagle Martial Soul to sidestep the boulder.
Just as the two Soul Sage were about to withstand the head-on collision, Lin Xuan, who was standing behind them, raised his right hand.
A flash of light appeared between his fingers, and four Talismans materialized.
Two Swift Gale Talisman surrounded by azure light and two Thunder Talisman swirling with purple lightning transformed into four streams of light that soared through the air and precisely merged into the chests of Flender and Liu Erlong!
"I'm here to lend you a hand!"
A cyan whirlwind and purple lightning exploded around the two Dean.
The previously cumbersome power flowed instantly, becoming incredibly light, and crackling, violent lightning crackled across the palms and fingertips.
Seeing this, four Soul Ring, one yellow and one purple, rose up from beneath Ning Rongrong's feet, and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared in her palm.
"Erlong Dean, Dean Flender, I'm here too!"
"The Nine Treasures Have Names: First, Strength! Second, Speed! Third, Soul!"
Three beams of light were injected into Flender and Liu Erlong's bodies respectively.
With Lin Xuan's Gale Wind Acceleration and Thunderclap Paralysis breaking through their defenses, the two level 70+ Battle Soul Sage felt their Soul Power surging like a raging tide within their Meridians, making them much stronger!
"Good!"
Flender threw his head back and laughed, his Cat Eagle wings moving like a blur under the Wind Talisman:
"Erlong Sister, finish this quickly!"
"Seventh Soul Skill, Cat Eagle True Body!"
Liu Erlong was engulfed in Lie Yan, her crimson dragon scales rapidly covering her entire body, and her dragon claws crackling with purplish-gold electric arcs.
"Good!"
"Seventh Soul Skill, Crimson Dragon True Body!"
The Diamond Mammoth roared and charged, its massive body resembling a moving mountain.
However, what met it was the extremely fast Cat Eagle Wind Blade and the ferocious Crimson Dragon Fire Fist!
Flender swooped down from mid-air, his claws crackling with lightning and a whirlwind, and his fifth Soul Skill, Tear Strike, slammed into the junction of the Diamond Mammoth's neck carapace!
Lightning burst through the crack, tearing open the Diamond Mammoth's proud defenses. A violent arc of paralyzing electricity instantly pierced the beast's body through its Meridians, causing its charge to halt abruptly!
The next moment, Liu Erlong had already closed in on him.
She didn't use any fancy techniques; with the terrifying power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, her fists, covered in dragon scales and Lie Yan, smashed down wildly!
The first punch landed on the base of the Diamond Mammoth's long trunk, shattering its surface crystalline armor!
The second punch slammed into the center of its hard skull, causing crimson flames to explode, accompanied by the muffled sound of bones shattering!
"Get down on your knees!"
Liu Erlong roared, leaped into the air, and slashed down heavily with his right leg, which transformed into a blazing dragon tail!
Boom!
A deep, muffled roar echoed through the valley, sending dust and rocks flying into the sky.
The 39,000-year-old Diamond Mammoth, which was over ten meters tall, was brutally beaten to the ground by two Soul Sage who had received top-tier support buffs.
Its four thick hooves were completely smashed off, and its massive body lay sprawled in the rubble pit, blood constantly spilling from its mouth and nose. It had been beaten to the point of barely clinging to life.
The valley suddenly fell silent.
From start to finish, it didn't even take the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
