Yu Xiaogang's Third Soul Ring! Xiong Jun Comes Knocking?

Tang Hao said in a deep voice:

"I cannot guarantee that I will be able to find my grandfather."

"But we've waited far too long for this clue. If we dare not investigate simply because we don't know what's going on, how long will it take for our Clear Sky Sect to avenge our blood feud?"

The hall fell silent immediately.

Tang Xiao continued:

"Father, let's go to the town where the entrance is located first, find out what we can, and then try to enter the Slaughter City to search for people."

Tang Zhen looked at his two sons in front of him and remained silent for a long time.

On one side is her father, whom she hasn't seen for many years; on the other is the sect that she can't leave now. Ultimately, someone has to do this.

A moment later, he slowly stood up and handed the secret letter and records on the table to Tang Xiao.

"Before you go, take a close look at these things."

"Once you arrive in the town, remember to send a message back first. The information provided by the Spirit Hall can be used, but you can't believe everything they say."

Tang Xiao accepted it with both hands and solemnly replied:

"I understand."

As Tang Hao gazed at the secret letter, a glimmer of anticipation gradually ignited in his eyes. After all, if his grandfather Tang Chen, could return, there would be hope for the Clear Sky Sect to reclaim everything it was currently suffering.

Meanwhile, in the northern part of the Star Dou Great Forest.

After crossing the hillside, Li Qingshan suddenly stopped and raised his hand to signal everyone not to continue forward.

Several large trees ahead were broken in half, the cuts not yet dry, and a series of wide claw marks remained on the muddy ground, stretching towards the pool in the forest.

Dugu Bo leaned down and glanced at it, then whispered:

"There's Soul Beast nearby."

Li Qingshan nodded slightly, and the Spiritual Power of the Limit Douluo extended forward along the claw mark. Before long, a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Xiao Gang, come and take a look."

After walking around a thicket of bushes, the group finally saw the figure by the pool.

It was a Soul Beast over four meters long, with thick limbs, its back covered with layers of dark gold scales, and a thick, upward-curving bone horn growing from its forehead.

It was drinking water with its head down, and its thick, long tail occasionally swept across the ground, sending pebbles flying several feet.

Luo Sanpao suddenly raised his head, his nostrils flared slightly, and a low groan escaped his throat.

Yu Xiaogang pressed its head down, examined it carefully for a moment, and hesitated before asking, "Teacher, is this also Dragon-Type Soul Beast?"

"Its name is the Diamond Horned Dragon." Li Qingshan nodded and said seriously, "It possesses dragon blood and its cultivation level is approximately five thousand years."

Five thousand years?

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang felt a slight tremor in his heart.

Although his Second Soul Ring was already a thousand years old, he was still somewhat worried about choosing a five-thousand-year spirit ring for his Third Soul Ring.

Li Qingshan saw through his thoughts, reached out and took his wrist, examining it carefully.

"The Thousand-Year Dragon Scale Fruit you consumed earlier has been almost fully refined these past few days."

"In addition to the changes brought about by the Martial Soul Evolution and the consumption of Whale Rubber, your physique is now vastly different from when you acquired your Second Soul Ring."

As he spoke, he withdrew his hand and looked back at the pool.

"However, the right age is only one factor. Let me first show you the abilities of this Soul Beast."

After understanding, Yu Xiaogang walked out of the bushes alone.

Upon seeing this, the Diamond Horned Dragon immediately raised its head, exhaled two streams of white vapor from its nostrils, and slammed its powerful forepaws heavily onto the ground.

Seeing that the person hadn't backed away, it suddenly lowered its head and charged forward, its bony horns raised!

Yu Xiaogang turned his foot and nimbly dodged to the side.

The Diamond Horned Dragon missed its target, its bony horn slamming into a giant rock by the pool, instantly creating large cracks.

But it didn't stop there. Instead, it dug its front paws into the mud, and its scales shone with a dark golden luster!

The muscles in its limbs suddenly tensed, and even its thick, long tail straightened up a bit.

"Boom!"

What was originally just a cracked boulder was pushed over and flipped over by its renewed force!

As the gravel rolled down, Liu Erlong instinctively took a half-step forward, only to be gently pulled back by Bibi Dong.

Yu Xiaogang, however, kept his eyes fixed on the Soul Beast. He could see clearly that it wasn't just that bone horn that had been strengthened.

When the Diamond Horned Dragon turned around, the power of its hind legs pushing off the ground, the force of its tail sweeping, and even the speed at which it pounced on Dugu Bo were all much stronger than before!

"Has its entire body become stronger?"

Li Qingshan nodded slightly and explained:

"Sanpao now possesses the ability to attack from a distance, but it cannot always stand at a distance to fight against others. Its dragon claws, wings, and entire dragon body should all become forces that it can rely on."

"This Diamond Horned Dragon's amplification ability is a perfect fit for it."

Yu Xiaogang looked down at Luo Sanpao, who was staring at the Soul Beasts in the arena, his golden dragon eyes showing no fear.

After a moment, the boy nodded seriously.

"In that case, teacher, let's choose this one."

When the Diamond Horned Dragon pounced again, Dugu Bo stepped forward, raised his palm and pressed down on its bone horn, while his other hand landed on its shoulder and back.

The emerald green Soul Power suddenly pressed down, and the massive dragon body sank, its limbs sinking into the mud. It struggled several times but could not stand up again.

Li Qingshan approached, confirmed its aura and age, and then gestured to Yu Xiaogang:

"Xiao Gang, let's get started."

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and urged Luo Sanpao forward. Golden lightning condensed, and with a breath, the Diamond Horned Dragon instantly stopped struggling.

A moment later, a deep purple Soul Ring slowly rose from above its body.

Li Qingshan's voice came from beside me.

"The Soul Rings have been chosen; now we'll focus on absorbing them. We'll find out what kind of boost they'll give Sanpao once the absorption is complete."

The young man solemnly agreed and sat cross-legged on a flat rock by the pool. Luo Sanpao knelt beside him, and two Soul Rings, one yellow and one purple, unfolded.

Guided by his Soul Power, the five-thousand-year-old purple Soul Ring slowly approached and finally landed on his head!

Yu Xiaogang's shoulders trembled violently.

A powerful force surged into his body through his Martial Soul, causing his previously steady breathing to suddenly become heavy, and the golden scales on Luo Sanpao's body began to glow.

Li Qingshan stood aside, constantly observing the changes in his body. Just then, an extremely fierce aura seemed to be approaching them without any attempt to conceal itself!

"A Soul Beast?"

Chen Jianjun also noticed the abnormality. He gently clenched his fist, and a flash of silver light appeared. The Seven Kill Sword instantly solidified, and a killing intent swept out.

"Senior, please protect Xiao Gang for me."

"I'll go take a look."

Li Qingshan raised his hand and set up a barrier to protect Yu Xiaogang, who was absorbing the Soul Ring, before taking a few steps forward.

The footsteps in the woods grew closer.

The next second, a burly man parted the branches and appeared before everyone, holding a silver scale in his hand, which was now gleaming with a clear light.

It is indeed Xiong Jun!

It ignored everyone else, its gaze fixed directly on Li Qingshan, and a slow smile appeared on its lips.

"So you were here! I've been looking for you everywhere."
