Lin Hao: I Want a Ten Thousand Year Third Soul Ring! A Ten-Thousand-Year Titan Dragon Ape?

Mental power-he had done it!

For a moment, Lin Hao was overwhelmed with excitement and exhilaration.

As a transmigrator, he was unlike Tang San, a reincarnated martial arts expert who possessed the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.

Nor did he have a cheat like a system.

But with his foreknowledge as a transmigrator and his own hard work,

he had successfully acquired both mental power and bloodline power while still only a Quasi-Soul Elder!

He thought of Peerless Tang Sect, in which Dragon God Douluo Mu En had created Ruler Over All, a self-created soul skill combining mental power and soul power!

He possessed mental power, bloodline power, and soul power.

In the future, there was no reason he could not create his own Ruler Over All.

Then he could develop supreme secret arts combining bloodline power with mental power, bloodline power with soul power, and even all three powers together!

After refining the medicinal power of the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew,

Lin Hao slowly opened his eyes and gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

Although he had never practiced an eye technique like Tang San's Purple Demon Eye,

after taking the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew,

Lin Hao could distinctly sense that his eyes had undergone a transformation. His vision had become noticeably clearer.

Looking into the distance, he could not only clearly make out the scenery in the distant forest,

but also see every pattern and vein on the nearby immortal herbs, supreme medicinal herbs, and unusual medicinal plants.

And Hawk Eye and Subtle Insight were only the abilities he could identify directly at present.

Beyond those, Lin Hao felt that he had probably also gained abilities resembling the power to see through illusions and Bullet Time.

However, he would need suitable circumstances to verify them.

"All done, Little Monster?"

Seeing Lin Hao open his eyes and stand up, Dugu Bo asked with his hands clasped behind his back.

"All done!"

Lin Hao grinned.

"Boy, Brother Chrysanthemum told me earlier that you were already a Level 26 Soul Grandmaster before you came here."

"Here in my Medicine Garden, you took a singular velvet sky chrysanthemum, underwent half a year of Ice and Fire Body Tempering, and now you've taken this remarkable herb as well. What level is your cultivation now?"

"Have you broken through to Level 30?"

Recalling what Chrysanthemum Douluo had told him, Dugu Bo could not help asking curiously.

"Senior Dugu, I broke through to Level 30 long ago!"

Lin Hao immediately smiled.

"You really are a monster, boy!"

"An eight-year-old Soul Elder! If word got out, who knows how many geniuses would die of shame!"

Looking at Lin Hao's tall, strapping figure and remembering that he should only be eight this year, Dugu Bo could not help blurting out a curse.

"Since you've broken through to Level 30, perfect!"

"I'll take you into the Sunset Forest and help you hunt a suitable soul beast."

"What kind of soul beast do you want for your third soul ring?"

Dugu Bo turned around as he pressed for an answer.

Lin Hao followed Dugu Bo toward the valley's exit and spoke thoughtfully.

"My singular velvet sky chrysanthemum martial soul follows the food system path."

"The first soul ring is the most important for the food system. You must absorb an edible plant soul beast to follow that path."

"But the subsequent soul rings don't matter in that regard."

"For my third soul ring, top-tier plant soul beasts of various attributes would naturally be ideal. They would have greater compatibility with my singular velvet sky chrysanthemum martial soul."

"But if we encounter a top-tier animal soul beast, that works too!"

"Anyway, as far as species goes, any top-tier soul beast will do. But as for its age..."

The corners of Lin Hao's mouth lifted slightly as he said,

"I want to hunt for a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!"

"A Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!"

At those words, Dugu Bo was stunned. His eyes widened as he stared at Lin Hao as though he had seen a ghost.

"Little Monster, you aren't joking, are you?"

"You're only a Level 30 Quasi-Soul Elder right now. At most, you can absorb a soul ring a little over a thousand years old!"

"You want to increase that age tenfold and absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring? Your body will burst, and you'll die!"

"Absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as your third soul ring..."

"For an ordinary soul master, it could indeed cause their body to burst and kill them!"

Faced with Dugu Bo's shock, Lin Hao smiled unhurriedly and replied.

"But I'm not an ordinary soul master. I follow the food system body-tempering path!"

"My physique far surpasses that of soul masters at the same level."

"Never mind anything else-my second soul ring came from a three-thousand-year-old Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine!"

As he spoke, Lin Hao summoned his martial soul, the singular velvet sky chrysanthemum, revealing two soul rings, one yellow and one purple.

"And afterward, here at your place, Senior Dugu, I took an immortal herb, a singular velvet sky chrysanthemum, and underwent more than half a year of fire body tempering."

"My physique has improved severalfold since then!"

"Absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring is absolutely no problem!"

"In fact, that's still a conservative estimate!"

Lin Hao spoke with a confident smile.

"Hiss!"

When he saw the second, thousand-year soul ring circling Lin Hao, Dugu Bo drew a sharp breath. His eyes widened in astonishment as he murmured,

"You truly are a monster, boy!"

Since Lin Hao had already worked a miracle by absorbing a three-thousand-year-old Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine for his second soul ring,

Dugu Bo chose to believe him.

After leaving the mountain where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well lay,

Dugu Bo led Lin Hao around the Sunset Forest, searching everywhere for a suitable ten-thousand-year soul beast.

However, the Sunset Forest was inherently inferior to the Star Dou Great Forest.

It was only a medium-sized soul beast forest.

Whether in variety, cultivation quality, or numbers, its soul beasts fell far short of those in the Star Dou Great Forest.

And Lin Hao wanted a soul beast with a cultivation age of just over ten thousand years, one that also had to be a top-tier soul beast.

That really was not easy to find!

In the Sunset Forest,

Dugu Bo searched with Lin Hao for two full days without finding a single beast that caught Lin Hao's eye.

That day, in the Sunset Forest,

the two continued deeper in search of a suitable soul beast.

Suddenly, a heavy rumbling sounded ahead, and even the ground trembled slightly.

In the distance, a large swath of trees suddenly snapped and fell.

Immediately afterward, an enormous dark figure burst out of the dense woods.

It was a giant ape over five meters tall, its entire body covered in thick, jet-black fur. Yet patches of golden scales grew around its neck and wrists, gleaming like metal in the sunlight.

A pair of thick golden dragon horns also sprouted from its head. It looked like both an ape and a dragon, exuding a primal, oppressive presence.

At the moment, however, the giant ape was in poor condition.

Wounds of all sizes covered its body, but the most alarming were the deep claw marks across its chest. Its flesh was torn open, exposing bone, and blood dripped steadily down its fur.

"A Titan Dragon Ape! And it happens to be a ten-thousand-year-old one!"

Dugu Bo took a closer look and immediately grew excited, pointing at the giant ape as he spoke to Lin Hao.

"Little Monster, how about this Titan Dragon Ape?"

As Lin Hao watched the Titan Dragon Ape stagger along in flight, excitement surged in his heart as well.

He had recognized this soul beast too.

It was a top-tier soul beast possessing a portion of both Titan Giant Ape and dragon bloodlines-a Titan Dragon Ape!

Although it lacked the Titan Giant Ape's ability to command the earth, it surpassed it in sheer strength, making it an outstanding specimen among strength-type soul beasts.

"Senior Dugu, this is the one!"
