Gold of Life, Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Jiao!

Lin Hao's precise prediction made the Golden Hawksbill Turtle's eyes widen. It raised its head and looked at Lin Hao in disbelief.

"Haha... I'm a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and the two-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation is no big deal to me. How could I only live for ten thousand years? You've got it wrong..."

Hawksbills were always renowned for their longevity, not to mention that their clan possessed abnormal defensive power, having almost no natural enemies in the Soul Beast Realm.

They could almost all live to the limit of their own lifespans.

Being able to live for ten thousand years was indeed a major event for them.

"I can save you!" The Golden Hawksbill Turtle was still hiding the truth, but Lin Hao spoke directly.

With a sliding tackle, even before Sea Dragon and Sea Spear could react, the Golden Hawksbill Turtle arrived right in front of Lin Hao and hugged Lin Hao's thigh with extreme flattery.

"Big Brother Human, what I said just now was a bit loud."

"As long as you can help me deal with that piece of metal, I'll do anything you ask."

"Alright then, pack up and come home with me."

"Home?" The Golden Hawksbill Turtle was dazed. Where to go back to? This place was its home.

"That's right, back to the ocean!"

"You guys aren't native residents of the Star Dou Great Forest to begin with, so come back to the ocean with me."

"You know Sea God Island, right? You know the Demon Soul Great White Shark, right?"

"Just like them, become the Island-Guarding Sacred Beast of Sea God Island."

"Go to Sea God Island!" The expression of the Golden Hawksbill Turtle was somewhat conflicted.

Going to Sea God Island was very far away, separated by heavy continents and the ocean.

The Hawksbill clan was doing quite well in the Star Dou Great Forest. If they migrated as a whole clan, it would take a lot of effort.

"Unwilling?" Lin Hao raised an eyebrow, looking at the conflicted Golden Hawksbill Turtle.

"Willing, willing, this little one is willing!"

The Golden Hawksbill Turtle nodded its head like a rattle-drum. The Star Dou Great Forest was not bad, but going to Sea God Island meant a much broader world.

What was more, if the Gold of Life was not extracted, given its current rate of absorption, it might not even live for ten thousand years.

A hundred thousand years versus ten thousand years, it could still tell the difference.

Besides, as the Island-Guarding Divine Beast of Sea God Island, could it pick and choose among the various beautiful turtle females in that ocean?

Thinking of the wonderful parts, the Golden Hawksbill Turtle even started glowing in both eyes.

"Come, I'll help you extract the Gold of Life."

Lin Hao truly had no way to extract the Gold of Life from within the Golden Hawksbill Turtle, but Tang San did—or rather, God King Tang San did.

God King Tang San's heritage contained everything, and Lin Hao had yet to fully unearth all of the heritage even now.

Most of it was heritage outside the Tang Sect, accumulated by Tang San over endless years. When it came to secretly learning things, Tang San was indeed an authority.

The Sea God's Light gathered in his palm, stirring the Gold of Life within the Golden Hawksbill Turtle.

In an instant, the entire pool burst with green light, and the life aura within the Golden Hawksbill Turtle converged toward Lin Hao's hand.

Losing that surge of life aura, the body size of the Golden Hawksbill Turtle instead continued to grow, and its vitality frantically surged outward.

"What a formidable life attribute!"

Sea Dragon, Shui Bing'er, and the other three standing aside were dumbfounded. Merely the bit of leaked life energy made them feel a wave of comfort inside their bodies.

It was hard to imagine how much power that piece of metal had condensed.

The body size of the Golden Hawksbill Turtle slowly expanded to five meters. This was its true hundred-thousand-year form, and the horny ridges of its turtle shell flashed with golden light.

Opening its mouth to spit, a piece of green metal flew toward Lin Hao.

Lin Hao expressionlessly gathered the Water Element to wash it thoroughly inside and out.

This piece of Gold of Life was not large, nor was its shape regular, and there were faint tooth marks on it.

Yet it was indeed the Gold of Life without a doubt.

"You've got good teeth to be able to bite through this thing."

Looking at the tooth marks on it, Lin Hao smiled at the Golden Hawksbill Turtle as he watched.

The turtle face of the Golden Hawksbill Turtle blushed.

Lin Hao put away the Gold of Life; right now was not the best time to absorb it.

He took out a map and drew a route: "You lead your clan along this route. Once you leave the Star Dou Great Forest, it's my territory. Someone will come to pick you up and take you to Sea God Island when the time comes."

The Golden Hawksbill Turtle reached out to take it, lowering its head to inspect it earnestly.

One minute later.

"How is it?"

The Golden Hawksbill Turtle raised its head with a serious expression: "I don't know. I don't recognize words, and I don't recognize any of these marks you made."

"..."

Lin Hao was somewhat speechless, a hashtag-shaped vein popping up on his forehead.

Enduring and enduring, he could endure no longer. Lin Hao struck the turtle head of the Golden Hawksbill Turtle with a punch: "Say earlier that you can't read it, yet you looked at it so seriously."

Three bump-like swellings popped up on the head of the Golden Hawksbill Turtle.

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er covered their mouths and chuckled softly as they watched Lin Hao break character.

It was the first time they had seen Lin Hao like this.

"Wait, I'll send someone to pick you guys up in a few days."

After giving his instructions, Lin Hao casually asked about the habitat of nearby ten-thousand-year-level ice-attribute soul beasts, and then led the four of them away from the habitat of the Hawksbill clan.

Now it was time to find a soul ring for Shui Bing'er.

"Roar!"

An angry dragon roar resounded through the woods of the Star Dou Great Forest.

A jiao dragon ten meters in length, with its whole body covered in diamond-shaped ice-crystal scales, was in the sky, opening a pair of slit pupils filled with killing intent as it stared fixedly at Lin Hao's group on the ground.

"The intelligence on the Golden Hawksbill Turtle wasn't wrong. A ten-thousand-year Ice Profound Jiao Dragon, a top-grade ice-attribute soul ring."

The ice jiao belonged to the sub-dragon species, being the soul beast whose bloodline was closest to a true dragon. It possessed many characteristics of a dragon, and even without wings, it could fly freely in the sky at a very fast speed.

"Senior Sea Dragon, please make a move and take it down."

"As you command!"

Roar!

An even more terrifying dragon roar resounded from behind Sea Dragon Douluo. If the Ice Profound Jiao Dragon was a sub-dragon species, then Sea Dragon Douluo's Sea God Dragon was a true dragon martial soul.

In terms of bloodline and attributes, it naturally formed a suppression over the Ice Profound Jiao Dragon.

The Ice Profound Jiao Dragon's originally killing-intent-filled gaze changed instantly, leaving behind only dense fear.

Without the slightest hesitation, it sped away into the distance like an ice arrow.

Rumble!

The Ice Profound Jiao Dragon was extremely fast, but unfortunately, in the hands of a ninety-seventh-rank Titled Douluo, even with its hundred-thousand-year cultivation, it was difficult to escape.

A large amount of water element in the air condensed, and a huge elemental dragon claw appeared in front of the Ice Profound Jiao Dragon. The massive claw made the Ice Profound Jiao Dragon look like a small loach in front of it.

Bang!

The Ice Profound Jiao Dragon let out a miserable shriek as its body was blasted flying, snapping several large trees before slamming heavily onto the ground.

The scales on its body were shattered beyond recognition, and its previous fierce momentum withered away.

Merely a single strike, and this ten-thousand-year-level sub-dragon-species soul beast lost its combat capability.

"Bing'er, go kill it. This soul ring is enough to make up for the shortcomings brought by your previous three soul rings."

"I really don't know what your academy's teachers were thinking. With a dignified Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, you actually went the control system route. It's truly putting the cart before the horse and wasting talent."

"Among the top powerhouses on the mainland, none of the control-system ones went all the way to the end; in the end, they all took the power-attack-system path."

Lin Hao brought Shui Bing'er to the front of the Ice Profound Jiao Dragon, speaking in a complaining tone as he looked at Shui Bing'er.
