The next second, the Right Arm Soul Bone erupted with dazzling light once more!
"Right Arm Soul Bone, second skill-Blazing Sunfall!!"
In an instant, the enormous fireball blocking the Crimson Sun Dragon Sparrow's escape plummeted.
It was like the sun falling from the sky to the earth!!
BOOM!!!
With a deafening explosion, lava, flames, and shattered rocks flew everywhere!
Every tree within several hundred meters was reduced to ash.
A massive crater over a hundred meters across appeared in the ground.
Molten lava still flowed slowly inside it.
The Crimson Sun Dragon Sparrow had met a gruesome end, a third of its body reduced to charcoal.
The rest was barely intact, but it had become a roasted bird all the same.
A black Soul Ring floated up from its corpse.
THUD!!
Lin Mo flew straight over and jumped into the crater.
"Two hundred-thousand-year Soul Bones and two domains really are powerful. I killed it in one hit."
Looking at the scene before him, he grinned almost from ear to ear.
A Soul Elder in his thirties had single-handedly killed a Soul Beast over fifty thousand years old.
If word got out, probably no one would believe it, right?
"Once I absorb this Soul Ring, my strength will improve quite a bit again."
Looking at the Soul Ring before him, Lin Mo did not hesitate at all.
He immediately used the power of the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone to grow a mass of Blue Silver Grass and seal the crater.
Then he sat cross-legged and began absorbing the Soul Ring!
After all, lava already covered the surrounding area, and ordinary Soul Beasts would never dare approach.
The only ones he needed to guard against were flying Soul Beasts.
Humm~
As the Soul Ring settled around him, an immensely powerful malice battered Lin Mo's soul.
Within his sea of consciousness, a hazy phantom gradually took shape.
It was formed from the lingering will of the ten-thousand-year Crimson Sun Dragon Sparrow.
The phantom screeched furiously, its scarlet eyes fixed on Lin Mo before it.
"Accursed human! You think you can absorb my power?! Die!!!"
The Crimson Sun Dragon Sparrow's shrill, piercing voice resounded throughout his sea of consciousness.
Lin Mo frowned slightly, feeling as though needles were stabbing his head.
But the next second, a golden light shone on his forehead.
It flowed like a clear spring, swiftly soothing all his discomfort.
"Heh~ I killed you in one hit outside, and it'll be no different here!!"
Watching the Crimson Sun Dragon Sparrow's impotent fury, Lin Mo's lips curled into a smile.
At the same time, the golden light grew ever more dazzling!
"Spirit Head Soul Bone skill-Spiritual Pierce!!"
With a fierce shout, his Mental Power condensed into a spike.
It shot toward the Crimson Sun Dragon Sparrow's lingering will in an instant!
"Screee!!"
A miserable shriek rang out as the Mental Power pierced straight through the lingering will.
The assault on his soul dissipated completely.
All that remained was the immense Soul Power accumulated over fifty-five thousand five hundred years, continuously surging through Lin Mo's body.
Fortunately, the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone's restorative ability was powerful enough.
The Fire Python Armor, an External Soul Bone, also gave him an even stronger physique.
Soon, he began adapting to this tremendous power.
The black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring began merging into his body.
The phantom of his Blazing Sun Serpent Martial Soul slowly appeared behind Lin Mo.
"Roar, roar, roar~!!"
The sound it made was no longer a serpent's hiss.
Instead, it sounded like the roar of some exotic beast.
At the same time, its body was undergoing a continuous transformation.
The horns atop its head grew more pronounced and sharper.
The scales covering its body became harder and thicker.
The greatest change was the four relatively slender clawed limbs slowly growing from its body!!
At that moment, it had a golden crocodile's head, horns on its brow, a python's body, and four sharply clawed feet.
The Blazing Sun Serpent Martial Soul had fully transformed from a python into a flood dragon!!
It had officially crossed the threshold into the ranks of top-tier Beast Martial Souls!!
Lin Mo opened both his crimson-gold eyes!
A faint draconic aura instantly spread in every direction!!
Black, black, black!
Three Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings rose with it!
"Blazing Sun Flood Dragon, third Soul Skill-Heaven-Burning Dragon Claw!!"
With a roar, Lin Mo sprang into the air!!
Dragon scales covered his limbs and torso, and a pair of dragon horns grew from his forehead.
His hands transformed into enormous dragon claws!!
He slashed forward at the Blue Silver Grass covering the crater.
And at the hard rock formed by the cooled lava.
In an instant, everything was torn to shreds!
"Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone skill-Flight!"
Lin Mo soared straight upward and flew out of the crater.
Outside, the sun still shone brightly beneath a cloudless sky.
Still, some time must have passed.
After all, absorbing a wild Soul Ring was usually a lengthy process.
"I've finished absorbing all the Soul Rings and Soul Bones, and my Soul Power has reached level thirty-seven. Time to head back."
Lin Mo lightly clenched his fist, feeling the power within him.
The Crimson Sun Dragon Sparrow's fifty-five-thousand-five-hundred-year Soul Ring.
Had only raised his Soul Power by one level.
It had, however, improved his physique and Mental Power considerably.
But to reach the level of a Titled Douluo.
He still had some distance to go!
Outside the gates of Shrek Academy.
Lin Mo had flown all the way back from the Star Dou Great Forest.
Just as he was about to land.
He suddenly spotted Xiao Wu nearby, skipping toward the academy with a basket of carrots.
"This little girl eats nothing but vegetables every day. Isn't she afraid of malnutrition?"
Seeing this, Lin Mo shook his head and grumbled.
At the same time, a certain curiosity prompted him to activate the Eye of Myriad Phenomena.
The next second, three disguised, transparent Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet.
"Second Soul Skill-Divine Eye Void-Piercing!!"
His gaze swept over the little girl on the ground.
In an instant, lines of information began appearing before his eyes.
[Target: Xiao Wu] [Soul Power: Level twenty-two] [Martial Soul/Soul Beast: Soft Bone Rabbit] [Figure: C cup (still developing)] [Soul Skills: Waist Bow, Charm]
Seeing the unsolicited extra information slipped in among the details, Lin Mo did not know whether to laugh or cry.
This Martial Soul really did take after him!!
It was utterly improper!
Besides, he had to take back his earlier remark about the little rabbit being malnourished.
With his test complete, Lin Mo slowly descended and landed firmly on the ground.
"Oh! Mo!! You're finally back! Did you just fly down from the sky? How did you do that?!"
Seeing the boy suddenly appear, Xiao Wu excitedly trotted over and chattered away with questions.
She even wanted him to take her flying.
"All right, all right. It's a Soul Bone Skill I happened to acquire. I'll take you flying next time. Remember to keep it secret. Let's head back to the academy first."
Lin Mo rubbed the little rabbit's head and spoke with a smile.
Then he headed straight toward the academy.
"A Soul Bone?! You got a Soul Bone? And one that lets you fly! I want one too!!"
Xiao Wu followed behind the boy, her face full of envy.
Even if she was a little rabbit, she still dreamed of soaring through the sky!!
"Yes, yes. I'll definitely take you flying next time, okay?"
Lin Mo nodded and answered in a thoroughly perfunctory tone.
The two joked and played along the way, soon returning to Shrek Academy.
But as soon as they reached the academy's training grounds, they saw three figures.
One was very familiar: Dean Flender.
The other two were somewhat unfamiliar.
One was an extremely burly middle-aged man with slicked-back hair.
The other was a white-haired boy!
