A Soul Beast Delivered Right to His Doorstep

Such an attribute could be said to fit Xiao Yu's spirit ring requirements perfectly.

"Holy crap, what a coincidence! Xiao Yu, get out here! Your spirit ring is sorted!"

With excitement written all over her face, Liu Erlong shouted toward the tent while directly activating Martial Soul Possession.

Her flame-wreathed dragon claw firmly pinned down the soul beast covered in golden scales.

"Roar!"

"Roar!!"

Seeing that it had been restrained, the soul beast immediately let out a furious roar.

At the same time, its body twisted and struggled wildly.

But as a mere hundred-year soul beast, how could it possibly break free from Liu Erlong's control so easily?

Hearing Liu Erlong's voice, Xiao Yu quickly stepped out of the tent.

The moment he saw the soul beast, a sharp gleam flashed through his eyes.

"Damn, a Golden Scale Illusion-Breaking Beast! Isn't this a soul beast that's notoriously hard to find? Why would it appear here?"

Hearing Xiao Yu's astonishment, Liu Erlong asked curiously.

"You know what this is?"

"Yeah. I saw this kind of soul beast in the books at a Spirit Hall branch. Since it suited me so well, I remembered it clearly.

The Golden Scale Illusion-Breaking Beast is one of the top Light Attribute soul beasts. According to Spirit Hall's records, the beast itself is nothing remarkable, but it possesses a strand of incomparably pure Light Dragon Bloodline within its body!

It can use that Light Dragon Bloodline to strengthen its physical body, its abilities, and even its own bloodline. Those that develop it particularly well can even use both healing and offensive attributes at the same time to enhance themselves.

On top of the physical enhancement provided by that strand of Light Dragon Bloodline, it can even challenge thousand-year soul beasts across ranks despite having only a hundred years of cultivation!

However, these soul beasts reproduce with extreme difficulty. Even in Spirit Hall's records, they were considered something one could only encounter by chance. I never expected one to deliver itself to us in the middle of the night."

Hearing Xiao Yu's explanation, Liu Erlong's red lips parted slightly.

She had never expected that the soul beast which had casually shown up in front of their tent in the middle of the night would be so formidable.

No wonder she had found it rather difficult to catch. She had not expected such a little thing to be able to challenge opponents beyond its rank with the strand of Bright Dragon Clan bloodline in its body.

"Then what about this soul beast's age? Is it suitable for you?"

Xiao Yu answered with a slightly excited expression.

"Although this soul beast only has around three hundred years of cultivation, which isn't the limit for a first spirit ring, I care more about the strand of Light Dragon Bloodline in its body.

If I can use that strand of Light Dragon Bloodline to evolve my Sleeping Dragon toward a Bright Holy Dragon, then even if its age is a little low, it'll still be a huge win!"

After receiving Xiao Yu's confirmation, Liu Erlong immediately acted without another word.

Amid the soul beast's miserable cries, she beat it until it had only a single breath left.

"Fine, then, Xiao Yu, kill it! Absorb the spirit ring directly!"

"Alright!!"

With Liu Erlong's help, Xiao Yu accurately drove his dagger into the soul beast's neck.

"Roar!!!"

In an instant, the soul beast let out a despairing wail.

Its golden pupils were filled with fear of death.

It had never imagined that sneaking out to play would lead to this.

But it was too late for regrets now.

It knew that the human before it would never spare it.

Not long afterward, the Golden Scale Illusion-Breaking Beast let out one final cry and stopped breathing.

At the same time, a dark yellow spirit ring slowly emerged from its body.

"Though it's only three hundred years old, its Spirit Ring Strength is actually comparable to a five-hundred-year spirit ring?"

Xiao Yu stared at the dark yellow spirit ring in silence for a moment.

He had not expected that not only was a creature with Light Dragon Bloodline so powerful in battle, but even its spirit ring far exceeded its actual age.

This enormous difference instantly filled Xiao Yu, who had been somewhat regretful, with immense relief.

If this soul beast had truly been over four hundred years old, then his spirit ring might have reached seven or eight hundred years. It would have been even harder to absorb than this one.

After sitting down cross-legged and adjusting his condition, Xiao Yu summoned Sleeping Dragon. He stroked Sleeping Dragon, who was eagerly nuzzling against him, then began absorbing the spirit ring.

Upon seeing this, Sleeping Dragon immediately stopped nuzzling so eagerly and began cooperating with its master to absorb the spirit ring.

When Liu Erlong saw the summoned Sleeping Dragon, her heart nearly melted.

Before long, guided by Xiao Yu, the dark yellow spirit ring rose above his head.

Then it slowly revolved up and down around Xiao Yu's body.

"Puh!!"

The instant the power of the spirit ring entered his body, its immense force made Xiao Yu spray out a mouthful of bloody mist.

His physical constitution had not improved much yet.

Therefore, absorbing a spirit ring comparable to one that was five hundred years old was quite difficult for him.

But Xiao Yu still gritted his teeth and persisted.

"Damn it, I'm going all in. It won't be easy to find a top-tier soul beast like this again. Besides, I have a system. Is a five-hundred-year spirit ring really enough to stop me from moving forward? Sleeping Dragon, refine it for me!"

Sleeping Dragon seemed to sense Xiao Yu's resolve as well. Its eyes became incomparably firm as it cooperated with its master.

"Xiao Yu!!"

Seeing Xiao Yu with blood all over his mouth, Liu Erlong could only pace anxiously at the side, completely helpless.

She knew that if she forcibly interrupted Xiao Yu's absorption now, he would be injured even more severely.

Seeing the veins bulging all over Xiao Yu's body, Liu Erlong's heart ached unbearably.

Xiao Yu, who was forcibly absorbing the spirit ring, was in immense pain as well.

Ever since the spirit ring's power had entered his body, Xiao Yu felt as though the violent energy had ravaged his body into a complete mess. His frail meridians simply could not withstand such enormous power.

At this moment, he could only barely maintain it. He had no way to guide the energy through his meridians at all!

When the energy discovered Xiao Yu's Dantian, it began gathering there, since the area was relatively spacious.

"Hot!! So hot!! It's so hot!! Teacher, I'm so hot!!!"

Unable to withstand the energy within him, Xiao Yu's body had turned completely red.

He looked like a freshly boiled shrimp.

Seeing Xiao Yu calling to her for help, Liu Erlong anxiously crouched down and asked with a pained expression.

"Xiao Yu, I'm here. Absorb it without worry. I'll stay by your side the whole time."

Yet in the next moment, Liu Erlong felt a mass of burning coals rush into her embrace.

Her waist was tightly wrapped in a pair of scorching arms.

Moreover, Liu Erlong could feel him rubbing restlessly against her in her arms.

Feeling that strange sensation, Liu Erlong immediately understood.

The energy in Xiao Yu's body had nowhere to vent, so it had transformed into something easier to release.

If she could help Xiao Yu vent that energy, then perhaps...
