Douluo: Refreshing Attributes, Starting with Luck is on My Side!

Though Dugu Bo was angry at Lin Feng's actions, he still patiently tried to comfort him.

Beneath the lava, Lin Feng rapidly dove dozens of meters down.

Lin Feng stopped and observed the flow of the magma around him, discovering that there were as many as seven or eight converging fire veins.

"Dragon Seeking Gold Splitting sees the winding mountains..."

He then took out the Dragon Seeking Ruler, silently recited the incantation, and followed the nearest fire vein.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Sure enough, he spotted a resting Flame Beast inside a magma cavern.

This Ten Thousand Year Flame Beast was dozens of meters long, its entire body covered in enormous black scales.

Complex golden patterns coiled across the black scales, whose edges looked incomparably sharp.

Just as the ancient texts had recorded, it resembled the ancient divine beast Kirin, which crawled on four limbs.

Not only did it have a pair of massive black wings, but a golden horn also grew from its head.

"System, Attribute Scan!"

Soul Beast: Flame Beast

Age: 11,000 years

Attributes: Hard as Iron (White), Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone (Green)

"This soul beast actually possesses a Soul Bone?"

Lin Feng could not help but exclaim in surprise. It had already been six years since he had obtained a Soul Bone from hunting a soul beast. He had not expected to encounter one again today.

The resting Flame Beast seemed to sense the presence of an outsider and let out a piercing roar.

"Roar~"

The Flame Beast slowly rose to its feet and noticed Lin Feng nearby.

Its wings beat rapidly as it used the golden horn on its head to charge straight at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng had no time to dodge.

"Second Soul Skill, True Dragon Scale."

A layer of golden dragon scales instantly wrapped around his body. Combined with Ultimate Fire, it formed an armor that seemed indestructible.

Lin Feng swiftly raised both hands, forming a dragon-scale shield before him.

The golden horn slammed brutally into the dragon-scale shield.

But the power of a Ten Thousand Year soul beast was no joke.

Bang!

The dragon-scale shield, unable to withstand even a few seconds of impact, shattered with a crash, and Lin Feng was sent flying several meters away.

"How could this Flame Beast be so powerful?"

Lin Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and could not help but sigh.

"That old geezer Dugu can't come down from the shore. Now I can only rely on myself."

"Ever since awakening my martial soul, I've never encountered such a powerful enemy. This is the perfect chance to go all out and see just how strong I really am."

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed as he condensed all his Soul Power into his hands.

"Third Soul Skill, Emperor Flame Fury."

The power of fire contained within the surrounding magma slowly gathered like a vortex under the circulation of Lin Feng's Soul Power.

An Emperor Flame Nine-Headed Dragon wreathed in Ultimate Fire took shape within the magma.

"Roar."

Sensing the fluctuations of Soul Power around it, the Flame Beast once again let out a deafening roar.

Suddenly, it opened its massive maw, and a fireball slowly began to form within its mouth.

Moreover, as the Flame Beast continuously poured in its Soul Power, the fireball gradually grew larger.

On the shore.

Dugu Yan stared at the surface of the lava, which had originally been calm.

Now, the red magma not only began to churn continuously and spew blazing flames.

Massive bubbles also occasionally surged up, accompanied by rumbling booms, as though a demon beneath the earth were roaring.

"Grandpa, Lin Feng... he won't be in danger, will he?"

Dugu Yan asked through a choked voice.

"He won't. We have to believe in him."

Dugu Bo pulled Yan'er tightly into his arms as he spoke.

Even now, he did not know what exactly was happening beneath the lava.

He could only guess that Lin Feng was facing a fierce battle.

Even if he wanted to help Lin Feng, he was wary of acting rashly, afraid of harming him instead.

Beneath the lava.

"Emperor Flame Fury, go!"

"Ha!"

Lin Feng roared almost like a beast.

At the same time, the distant Flame Beast fired a shockwave toward him.

The two massive energies collided, immediately unleashing wave after wave of impact.

Rocks occasionally collapsed, the force resembling a massive earthquake erupting at the bottom of the magma.

Veins bulged across Lin Feng's body as he continuously poured in Soul Power to maintain the illusory form of the Emperor Flame Nine-Headed Dragon.

Though he possessed an Ultimate martial soul, the gap between their Soul Power was simply too great.

It was a tremendous disparity that quality alone could not make up for.

Without Soul Power to sustain it, Lin Feng's raging flames were quickly devoured.

Almost nothing remained except the Flame Beast's shockwave.

As the Flame Beast rapidly beat its wings again, the flow of the surrounding magma seemed to change in an instant, surging relentlessly toward Lin Feng.

Just then.

Suddenly, Lin Feng's right hand began to shine with seven-colored light.

The Right Arm Spirit Bone, Crimson Scale Snake Hand, emerged on Lin Feng's arm, while a pair of dragon horns gradually appeared above the Soul Bone.

Even the Soul Bone's snake-like form transformed into that of a divine dragon at that moment.

"Hiss—"

Following a deep, thunderous roar, Lin Feng's Right Arm Spirit Bone released a Scarlet-Gold Divine Dragon that wrapped around him.

Accompanied by the Flame Beast's final furious roar.

Boom!

The phantom of the Emperor Flame Nine-Headed Dragon dissipated, and the flaming shockwave swallowed Lin Feng whole.

Just as the Flame Beast believed its enemy had already been reduced to ashes.

The flames dispersed.

The spiraling Scarlet-Gold Divine Dragon loosened, revealing the completely unharmed Lin Feng within.

"Unfortunately for you, I still have a Soul Bone."

Taking advantage of its weakness, Lin Feng immediately shot forward toward the Flame Beast.

The Flame Beast was stunned to see Lin Feng return, but it immediately began gathering another shockwave.

"Heh! I won't give you another chance this time."

"Right Arm Spirit Bone—True Dragon Hand!"

A pitch-black true dragon appeared. Without a trace of light, the true dragon looked terrifying and unfathomably deep.

The true dragon swiftly charged toward the Flame Beast through the magma.

Just as it was about to unleash its shockwave, the dragon pierced through its head in a single strike.

Bang!

Lin Feng carried the Flame Beast's corpse as he burst through the lava's surface, then threw it before the two people on shore.

Perhaps because his battle with the Flame Beast had drained him completely, Lin Feng collapsed unconscious the moment he reached the ground.

"Lin Feng! Lin Feng!"

Dugu Yan cried out anxiously again, tears pouring from the corners of her eyes.

"Grandpa, Grandpa."

"What happened to Lin Feng?"

Dugu Yan turned and asked anxiously.

"It's nothing. The battle just now probably exhausted him."

Dugu Bo stepped forward to examine Lin Feng's body.

Other than a few broken ribs, there was nothing seriously wrong with him. Even his clothes were intact. Only then did Dugu Bo finally relax.

This Lin Feng had only just reached Soul Ancestor level, yet he had hunted a Ten Thousand Year soul beast all by himself.

Didn't he know how to run when he couldn't win?

"Yan'er, I'll treat Feng'er's injuries."

Dugu Bo then sat cross-legged and began transferring Soul Power to Lin Feng.

Only after Lin Feng's internal aura had stabilized did he begin setting his bones and treating his injuries.

Around half a day later, Lin Feng finally woke from his coma.

"Yan'er, Grandpa Dugu!"

Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes and spoke weakly.

"Lin Feng, you nearly scared me to death!"

"How could you jump down there by yourself without saying a word?"

Dugu Yan's eyes were wet as she rushed forward and tightly embraced Lin Feng.

"Ah, Yan'er, isn't everything fine now?"

Lin Feng was somewhat at a loss, hurriedly stroking Dugu Yan's back to comfort her.

"Hmph! You were fine this time."

"What about next time?"

"Feng'er, when you encounter something you're not confident you can handle."

"Running away first should be your first choice. Do I really need to teach you something so basic?"

"If something had really happened to you this time, what would Yan'er have done?"

"How would I explain it to your parents?"

Dugu Bo glared at him and spoke irritably from the side.

"Alright, alright, Grandpa, I understand."

"If I encounter something like this again, I'll run immediately."
