The Art of Ring Fusion (Please Bookmark and Recommend)

[Name: Lin Feng]

[Martial Soul: Peacock]

[Soul Power: Level 30 (Level 94)]

[Soul Rings: Black (Touch of Green Wood) Black (Crimson Fire Scorches the Heavens)]

[Target: Ah Yin (Affection: 60)]

Lin Feng glanced at Ah Yin without betraying a thing. She really was innocent about the ways of the world.

One story had been enough to raise her affection to 60.

But after what had happened with Bibi Dong, Lin Feng was wary. He did not want to form a contract with anyone too easily.

He would wait and see.

The Star Dou Great Forest!

It was the largest Soul Beast forest on Douluo Continent. Lin Feng had been there before.

In the past, though, he had only roamed the Outer Area and Mixed Area. This time, he was heading into the Core Area.

Only there could he find Soul Beasts over fifty thousand years old.

"A seventy-thousand-year-old Earth Bear King! Found you at last. My third Soul Ring is settled!"

Hidden among the trees, Lin Feng watched the Soul Beast sunning its belly in a clearing. His eyes gleamed.

Ah Yin's mouth fell open. She looked stunned.

"You're going to use a seventy-thousand-year Soul Ring as your third? Even with the foundation of a Soul King, you couldn't absorb it!"

Lin Feng activated Martial Soul Possession, and his First Soul Ring lit up.

"I'm in excellent shape. Absorbing a seventy-thousand-year Soul Ring won't be a problem."

"First Soul Skill: Touch of Green Wood!"

Azure Vines burst from the forest and wound toward the Earth Bear King, weaving a net with no gaps to slip through.

The Earth Bear King roared and rolled to its feet. Its massive, seven-meter-tall body came hurtling forward like a mountain, tearing a hole straight through the vine net.

"Roar!"

Die!

Facing the direction from which the Azure Vines had spread, the Earth Bear King slammed both paws into the ground. Spikes of earth and stone shot toward the group.

"Don't show yourselves!"

Dugu Bo stepped forward, his face grim. He was a control-type Soul Master known for poison, but right now he had no choice but to do a defense-type Soul Master's job.

"Seventh Soul Skill: Jade Phosphorous Serpent Avatar!"

"Fifth Soul Skill: Jade Phosphor Heavenly Shield!"

Dugu Bo transformed into a Jade Phosphor Giant Python. Bolstered by his Martial Soul Avatar, the Jade Phosphor Heavenly Shield's defense reached its limit.

Even so, the fiercely powerful spikes tore it apart within seven or eight breaths.

The Jade Phosphor Giant Python was too large to dodge. The spikes ripped through his body as well, leaving wounds all over him. Blood stained the ground scarlet.

Earth-type Soul Beasts had absurd physical strength.

"Dad!"

Dugu Xin shouted in alarm.

"Second Soul Skill: Blue Silver Revival!"

Ah Yin bit her lip. Dugu Bo had been beaten nearly to the point of serious injury. If she did not treat him quickly, he would be crippled even if he survived.

A ring of blue light spread out, stirring Dugu Bo's life force and keeping him alive while his wounds rapidly healed.

Lin Feng seized the opening!

"Ring Fusion: Crimson Fire Scorches the Heavens!"

The two black Soul Rings around Lin Feng pulsed faster and faster. When their speed reached its peak, they fused into one.

Wood fed fire. As the wood-attributed First Soul Ring merged with the fire-attributed Second Soul Ring, the flames surged as though oil had been poured onto them.

A vast tornado of golden-red fire swept forward from earth to sky, engulfing the Earth Bear King as it attacked.

"Roar—"

The Earth Bear King howled in agony and rolled across the ground, trying to put out the searing flames.

It was no use!

By using Ring Fusion, Lin Feng had unleashed Crimson Fire Scorches the Heavens with power no weaker than a hundred-thousand-year Soul Skill. It truly had the force to burn the heavens and boil the seas.

In less than an hour, the Earth Bear King's insides had burned away and its body had turned black. Its towering form toppled like a mountain.

A deep-black Soul Ring rose from the corpse.

Dugu Bo, Dugu Xin, and Ah Yin all stared at Lin Feng as if he were a monster.

That had been a seventy-thousand-year-old Soul Beast!

Even an ordinary Titled Douluo would have had to work to bring one down.

Yet Lin Feng had killed the Earth Bear King in a single move.

If that did not make him a monster, what did?

Lin Feng panted hard, sweat pouring down his forehead. He had developed the Ring Fusion technique long ago, but this time he had fused two black Soul Rings. The result was comparable to a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring.

It had put a heavy strain on his body, too.

Fortunately, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot had strengthened him. Otherwise, he might not have endured it.

"Ah Yin, keep treating Senior Dugu. Sorry for the trouble, Senior Dugu, but please watch our surroundings and set up a few Poison Formations if you can. Don't let any other Soul Beasts interrupt me while I absorb the Soul Ring."

With that, Lin Feng walked over to the Earth Bear King's corpse. He spent half an hour regulating his breathing and restoring the Soul Power he had consumed before beginning to absorb its seventy-thousand-year Soul Ring.

After absorbing high-age Soul Rings twice before, he knew exactly how to handle this one.

The absorption soon settled into a steady rhythm.

Meanwhile, Ah Yin's treatment had left Dugu Bo mostly recovered. He thanked her first.

"Thank you, Miss Ah Yin."

Then he looked at Lin Feng with complicated feelings.

"Young friend Lin Feng is godlike. His first three Soul Rings are all over fifty thousand years old, and he's even mastered Ring Fusion!"

"I wasn't confident I could handle that seventy-thousand-year-old Earth Bear King. Without young friend Lin Feng, I really would have fallen today."

"I'm convinced!"

Dugu Xin nodded, his face full of awe and respect.

"Yeah. That attack was terrifying. I feel like even you would've gone down in one hit, Dad."

Dugu Bo did not enjoy hearing that. He was a Soul Saint, yet a Soul Grandmaster could have defeated him in one move. Still, Dugu Xin was right.

He would enter seclusion as soon as he got back. He needed to reach level 80 Soul Power soon. Young people these days were far too formidable.

After finishing Dugu Bo's treatment, Ah Yin rested her chin in her hands and watched Lin Feng.

He was the most talented human Soul Master she had ever seen. He was handsome, strong, and heroic, too!

Ah Yin could not understand why that woman named Bibi Dong would reject such a good man, much less falsely accuse him.

Humans were so complicated. She would have to keep observing them.

It took Lin Feng a full six hours to absorb the Soul Ring.

When he woke, his Soul Power had unlocked to level 40. He could now search for the Soul Beast he needed for his fourth Soul Ring.
