Three Heads and Six Arms! Dark Gold Dreadclaw! Earth Dragon's Reverse Scale! Gu Yue and Na'er's Hearts Flutter!

"Ocean tides! I have returned!"

Silver Dragon Spear in hand, Na'er launched a slaughter against the other Soul Masters.

With a bellyful of pent-up anger, Na'er showed no mercy.

A three-ring Soul Elder was already among the cream of the crop on the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform.

And she also possessed the Silver Dragon Spear Martial Soul and the East Sea Dragon King's inheritance.

At that moment, Na'er's fighting strength was second only to Li Zha's!

Na'er swept her spear with one hand.

Waves rose from the flat ground, surging toward two Soul Masters.

She finished off two Soul Grandmasters in an instant.

"What the hell?!"

"Where the fuck did ocean waves come from in a forest?!"

The surrounding Soul Masters took to their heels.

"Running?"

"How could creatures of the earth outrun the majesty of lightning?!"

"Shatter the darkness with lightning!"

Na'er raised her Silver Dragon Spear.

The sky overhead instantly turned pitch-black.

It was the East Sea Dragon King's Thunder-Controlling Art.

Lightning descended.

The Soul Masters who encountered Na'er could not even escape before being reduced to wisps of smoke.

"Ah, these people are just allergic to electricity."

After venting her anger, Na'er felt much better. She put her spear away with a skip and turned back to find Li Zha.

Leng Yaozhu watched.

She could not help nodding in satisfaction.

"These two little ones really are invincible among their peers."

"Good. Almost all the other Soul Masters have been cleared out. It's time to release the guardian beasts."

Leng Yaozhu placed both hands on the control console and rapidly adjusted the environment within the Spirit Ascension Platform.

The next moment,

Li Zha, Na'er, and Gu Yue gathered together.

Before the three of them,

a massive Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear emerged.

Dark gold fur covered its entire body, gleaming with a cold, metallic sheen.

It walked upright, its enormous claws exceptionally sharp.

As a supreme Soul Beast, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that originally guarded the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform had only just reached a thousand years of age.

But Leng Yaozhu had now replaced it with a three-thousand-year-old one.

An earth dragon crawling on all fours, clad in heavy earthen-yellow armor, also emerged with a roar.

Both beasts fixed their gazes on Li Zha and the two girls.

"Oh? The guardians changed?"

Li Zha grew excited.

A Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

Its External Soul Bone, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw, was practically on Douluo's must-have menu.

"A five-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, plus a three-thousand-year-old Pureblood Earth Dragon?!"

Gu Yue was shocked.

She now understood.

Even if Li Zha had not acted, the other Soul Masters would have had no choice but to withdraw when they encountered these two guardians.

And that was not all.

Gu Yue also noticed that this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was probably no ordinary specimen. The dark gold hue of its fur was much richer; it was likely a direct descendant of Xiong Jun.

The earth dragon beside it was the same: a pureblood dragon with formidable strength.

Its fighting power far surpassed that of an ordinary Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

"Na'er, one each."

As his words fell, Li Zha charged forward with his spear.

"Third Soul Skill! Prairie-Fire Hundred Thrusts!"

The Fire-Tipped Spear in Li Zha's hand struck in a flash, stabbing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear over a hundred times in an instant.

He immediately began stacking the passive effect of [Hundred Slashes Across the Prairie].

"Roar!"

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear flew into a rage.

Na'er also leaped forward.

"Ocean tides! Heavenly Thunder!"

The sound of waves crashing against the shore rang out around Na'er. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled overhead, and a bolt as thick as a bucket struck the earth dragon instantly!

"Roar!"

The earth dragon could only tuck its head in at once, using the hard, earthen-yellow scales on its back to withstand the lightning.

"Silver Dragon Plays with the Pearl!"

Holding her spear in both hands, Na'er waited for the lightning to fade. The instant the earth dragon extended its head, she thrust at its eye!

Bang!

The earth dragon let out a furious roar.

A wall of earth rose from the ground. Although the Silver Dragon Spear pierced it instantly, it at least bought the earth dragon enough time to move its vulnerable eye out of the way.

"Hmm?"

Na'er's thrust missed, and the Silver Dragon Spear blasted a huge hole in the ground.

The earth dragon's slit-pupiled eyes widened. That terrifying destructive power, along with the Silver Dragon Spear's innate suppressive force,

filled it with fear.

The earth dragon actually turned and fled on instinct!

"Running? Not so easy!"

"Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals!"

Na'er planted her Silver Dragon Spear in the ground. A host of humanoid fish and shrimp figures suddenly emerged from the earth. The Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals appeared and swarmed forward with weapons in hand, instantly covering the earth dragon's entire body!

The earth dragon writhed frantically.

It tried to burrow underground, but Na'er had already grabbed its body, leaped onto it, and unleashed a flurry of stabs!

Meanwhile,

on the other side,

the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear before Li Zha swung its golden claws wildly, but could not catch him at all.

It also had to contend with the Heaven-and-Earth Silk binding it. Although it could tear the silk apart, the silk repaired itself and multiplied with every tear, slowing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's movements more and more.

Within minutes, Li Zha had built up over three hundred attack stacks. He estimated inwardly:

Heh, a few more minutes and I should be able to kill it in one hit.

Just then,

beside him,

the Blazing Dragon Spirit ran out.

"Master, I recently comprehended another art. It suits you perfectly!"

"Hmm?"

The Blazing Dragon Spirit puffed out its chest proudly and formed hand seals. "Fire Jujube Immortal Power! Three Heads and Six Arms Form!"

As those words fell,

Samadhi True Fire suddenly covered Li Zha's entire body, and he shot up in height!

He went from one and a half meters to one point eight meters tall.

His hair also changed, falling loose down his back.

Fiery red markings appeared on either side of his eyes, stretching from their corners into his hair.

Li Zha manifested three faces and three pairs of arms, wielding six Fire-Tipped Spears as he attacked the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!

The stacking speed of [Hundred Slashes Across the Prairie] instantly skyrocketed!

"What?"

Watching from a distance, Gu Yue was stunned. "Is... is this guy a Soul Beast?"

Three heads and six arms.

He wasn't fucking human anymore, was he?

Outside the platform,

Leng Yaozhu was clearly startled as well.

"Zha'er, wh-what is this?"

"How could the Fire-Tipped Spear Martial Soul transform like that?"

"Could it be a Self-Created Soul Skill?!"

After growing taller, Li Zha's fighting strength also soared. Caught completely off guard, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was gravely wounded in an instant!

"Die!"

With six or seven hundred stacks built up on his first Soul Skill,

Li Zha merged the six Fire-Tipped Spears in his hands into one and hurled it instantly, piercing straight through the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's skull!

The next moment,

its body dissipated.

It left behind a purple Soul Ring and a palm bone glowing with dark gold light.

Li Zha picked it up.

"It really did drop the Dark Gold Dreadclaw. An External Soul Bone. Excellent."

Li Zha chose to absorb it immediately.

Although it was only five thousand years old,

an External Soul Bone could keep improving and growing stronger alongside its Soul Master, so absorbing this one was still worthwhile.

His [Lotus Body] superego Martial Soul had absolutely no fear of soul impacts, so Li Zha could absorb this External Soul Bone without any pressure whatsoever.

By the time Li Zha finished absorbing it,

Na'er's battle had only just ended.

"Holy crap, senior brother! I got an External Soul Bone drop: Earth Dragon's Reverse Scale!"

Brimming with excitement, Na'er carried a heart-shaped, earthen-yellow scale over to Li Zha.

But then she saw his taller appearance after he dismissed the Three Heads and Six Arms Form.

His long hair floated skyward in defiance of gravity, and his arms and legs extended well beyond his clothes. His eyes had become a little longer and narrower, giving him an almost otherworldly allure.

"Senior brother, h-how did you turn into this?"

Na'er walked up to Li Zha, her heart racing as she blinked and stared straight at him.

Senior brother was so handsome.

Gu Yue looked at Li Zha, her cheeks faintly flushed.

This Li Zha could even transform in battle? He looked surprisingly good, too.
