Golden Tiger King
As Jing Hongchen finished speaking, he looked at Xuan Ziwen and Ma Rufeng standing to the side.
" Elder Ma, Teacher Xuan, proceed according to the original plan. We can't let this Golden Tiger King get away."
Ma Rufeng and Xuan Ziwen nodded, their expressions turning serious; this was a true top-tier Soul Beast.
At Jing Hongchen's command, the three flew at an incredible speed to three different locations, quickly forming a triangle that surrounded the Golden Tiger King.
The Golden Tiger King was startled by the sudden appearance of someone, but he quickly let out a powerful roar that seemed to make the ground tremble, and his powerful aura spread out instantly.
But at this moment, the Soul Power of Jing Hongchen and the other two flashed, and they showed an extremely strong aura. In particular, various Soul Tool appeared on the three of them. These Soul Tool were basically all at the eighth level, and there were even two Level 9 Soul Tool.
In an instant, countless rays shot out, heading straight for the Golden Tiger King. In particular, the Level 9 Soul Tool on Ma Rufeng and Jing Hongchen emitted blood-red rays, instantly leaving terrifying wounds on the Golden Tiger King.
The entire battle lasted less than ten minutes. Jing Hongchen and his two companions displayed terrifying combat power. They used various Soul Tool on their bodies in succession. After being severely injured, the Golden Tiger King originally wanted to escape with all its might, but it was blocked by Jing Hongchen's Defensive Soul Tool.
Ultimately, due to the continuous heavy blows, even the mighty Golden Tiger King collapsed to the ground, barely alive, its eyes filled with...
It was filled with despair.
Xu Zhengyang was also shocked by this battle. This was a true battle between Level 9 Soul Engineer. They had almost no close contact with the Golden Tiger King throughout the entire battle, but even so, the Golden Tiger King had virtually no power to resist. It was attacked by two Level 9 Soul Engineer and one Level 8 Soul Engineer, with countless rays piercing its body. One of its huge tiger paws was even directly cut off by Jing Hongchen.
No wonder Jing Hongchen dared to ignore Xuan Zi's threat. Whether it was his actual combat ability or his use of Soul Tool, he was top-notch. In particular, he had a variety of Soul Tool on him. Keep in mind that this was just an ordinary battle, and Jing Hongchen had not really used his full strength.
After the Golden Tiger King fell, Xu Zhengyang returned to Jing Hongchen's side and approached the Golden Tiger King.
Jing Hongchen said, " Xu Zhengyang, this Golden Tiger King is extremely powerful, probably no less than an ordinary 80,000-year-old Soul Beast. Are you sure you want to absorb this Soul Ring? It's not too late to back out now; we can find another Soul Beast."
Xu Zhengyang stared intently at the Golden Tiger King: "Dean, I have confidence in myself."
Jing Hongchen seemed to be deep in thought, and quickly handed Xu Zhengyang a medicine bottle.
" Xu Zhengyang, I know you have excellent physical abilities, but this Soul Ring's age is simply too high. This is a secret medicine developed by my Sun Moon Empire that can temporarily enhance Soul Master's physical abilities. If consumed before absorbing Soul Ring, it can significantly increase the body's endurance and extend the absorption age of the Soul Ring."
Xu Zhengyang looked at the medicine bottle thoughtfully. This medicine did indeed seem extraordinary. In the original story, Xiao Hongchen's Fifth Soul Ring could absorb a 30,000-year-level Soul Ring, which was probably achieved using this kind of secret medicine.
But after only a moment, Xu Zhengyang shook his head. "Dean, I want to absorb this Soul Ring using my own strength. I personally think it's no problem."
Jing Hongchen stared intently at Xu Zhengyang. He had agreed to let Xu Zhengyang absorb the 46,000-year-old Golden Tiger King Soul Ring because the Sun Moon Empire possessed this secret medicine, but he never expected that Xu Zhengyang would refuse and insist on going his own way.
At this moment, Jing Hongchen appeared unusually serious. " Xu Zhengyang, do you truly understand the power of this Soul Ring? Do you understand the consequences of failing to absorb Soul Ring? You are not just representing yourself now, but the royal family and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. If you suffer any harm, the consequences will be extremely severe."
Xu Zhengyang's face showed unusual arrogance. "Dean, I will bear all the consequences and will absolutely not implicate anyone. Both teachers can serve as witnesses. Besides, I have other trump cards and my own purposes for absorbing this Soul Ring."
Jing Hongchen, Ma Rufeng, and Xuan Ziwen exchanged glances. Ma Rufeng nodded silently. Clearly, he had the most contact with Xu Zhengyang and knew Xu Zhengyang personality better. Once Xu Zhengyang made a decision, he rarely changed it, which was also the source of Xu Zhengyang pride in being able to keep getting stronger.
Finally Jing Hongchen seemed somewhat helpless. "Fine, since you've made your decision, then absorb it. But you must also be aware of the consequences."
Xu Zhengyang didn't say anything. Instead, he thrust his Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear fiercely into the wound on the Golden Tiger King Golden Tiger King's head, killing it instantly. At the same time, a dark-colored Soul Ring appeared on its body.
Xu Zhengyang sat cross-legged beside the corpse of the Golden Tiger King, summoning his original four Soul Ring. Under the guidance of his spiritual power, the huge black Soul Ring began to slowly merge into the Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear.
In that instant, it was as if a tremendous force, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, instantly flowed through the Soul Ring into the Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear and into Xu Zhengyang's body.
In a very short time, Xu Zhengyang's body turned fiery red, as if it had been boiled, even his skin turned red, like a boiled shrimp.
In particular, Xu Zhengyang's blood seemed to boil instantly. A sharp pain that penetrated deep into his bones spread throughout his body. His skin began to crack instantly, and blood began to seep out along his skin. Even his bones were severely damaged, as if they were about to be crushed.
What's even more troublesome is that a huge Golden Tiger King appeared in Xu Zhengyang's mind. At this moment, the Golden Tiger King roared continuously, full of resentment, as if it wanted to shatter the entire Sea of Spirit.
At this critical moment, Xu Zhengyang extended five steel claws from his right hand, and suddenly a crack appeared between his eyebrows, revealing a white eye that quickly opened— the Darkgolden Terrorclaw and the Devil Tiger's Eye, both External Soul Bone.
Even Jing Hongchen, Ma Rufeng, and Xuan Ziwen were filled with surprise at this moment.
"Two External Soul Bone. I never imagined Xu Zhengyang had been hiding another External Soul Bone. And judging from his third eye, it should be a spirit-type External Soul Bone. No wonder he can cultivate both Martial Soul and Soul Tool, and reach a very high level in both."
At this moment, in Xu Zhengyang's mind, the enormous Golden Tiger King was filled with ferocity, resentment, and the savagery of a tiger-type Soul Beast, seemingly wanting to tear Xu Zhengyang's Sea of Spirit to shreds.
But at this critical moment, the entire Sea of Spirit instantly seemed to vanish. The fierce aura of the Golden Tiger King began to dissolve rapidly, and even the Golden Tiger King's soul attack gradually became powerless and eventually turned into nothingness.
This is Xu Zhengyang's use of Necromancy, which is naturally effective against Necromancy and mental attacks.
Instantly, countless runes enveloped the Golden Tiger King's soul. Under these runes, the Golden Tiger King's soul attack had no effect whatsoever. Instead, as the runes enveloped it, a terrifying force of attraction suddenly appeared in the giant eye in Xu Zhengyang's mind, forcefully devouring the Golden Tiger King's mental attack.
As the Golden Tiger King's soul was gradually devoured and entered the Devil Tiger's Eye, the originally white Devil Tiger's Eye gradually began to be tinged with a golden aura, and even Electrolux's aura gradually began to strengthen.
Electrolux chuckled, "Although the process was somewhat dangerous, and this Golden Tiger King was quite powerful, in the end it all benefited you."
"I never imagined that Necromancy could be used in this way, especially after I merged with the Devil Tiger's Eye; the effect is even more pronounced."
"Judging from the current situation, if you absorb another top-tier Soul Ring, your Devil Tiger's Eye could even evolve, and its future will be limitless. It will be especially effective against Evil Soul Master. You can call this Devil Tiger's Eye the Death God's Eye."
In contrast, Xu Zhengyang's physical condition was far more dangerous. He looked terrible, as if he was about to collapse at any moment, or even explode and die.
Although Jing Hongchen and the other two were extremely worried, there was nothing they could do to help Xu Zhengyang at this moment.
Unexpectedly, as time went on, Xu Zhengyang's body repeatedly teetered on the brink of collapse, but he persevered with his strong will, his entire body seemingly undergoing repeated tempering.
Especially during this process, Xu Zhengyang's body seemed to undergo a special change, as if this power was being guided, and the Mysterious Heaven Technique was fully activated, with the Soul Power within his entire body as vast as the sea.
Three full days later, Xu Zhengyang's body gradually regained its balance. In particular, when Xu Zhengyang opened his eyes again, they emitted a terrifying light, and the Devil Tiger's Eye emitted a gray aura that instantly pierced through the trees a hundred meters away.
Xu Zhengyang was overjoyed. "It's a success! It's finally a success!"
Jing Hongchen and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They had witnessed the absorption of the Fifth Soul Ring, which was 46,000 years old, without the use of any secret medicine. At this moment, Xu Zhengyang was like a dazzling star, or the birth of a miracle.
Xu Zhengyang carefully examined his entire body. This absorption of the Fifth Soul Ring was not just an increase in Soul Power Level, but also a transformation of his body.
As the energy of the Golden Tiger King's Soul Ring repeatedly impacted his body, Xu Zhengyang used the Mysterious Heaven Technique to guide this Soul Power power, using it to attack his meridians. He opened the fourth of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and his Mysterious Heaven Technique reached the fifth level, which can be considered a small achievement.
More importantly, under the use of Necromancy, the Devil Tiger's Eye has undergone subtle changes, and even the Purple Demon Eye that he cultivated back then has changed. The gray light that Xu Zhengyang shot out from his eyes just now was released instantly using the Devil Tiger's Eye's own ability, combined with the Purple Demon Eye and Necromancy. Its power is no less than that of a 30,000-year-level Soul Skill.
Even the Purple Demon Eye broke through at this moment, finally reaching the third realm of the Purple Demon Eye: Mustard Seed. It could see the surrounding environment in greater detail, and even see the Soul Power fluctuations in the space. The whole world seemed to become colorful.
After absorbing the Golden Tiger King Soul Ring, Xu Zhengyang's Soul Power reached an astonishing level 53. Especially under the impact of the Soul Ring's power, his overall physical attributes seemed to have become stronger. Both his strength and endurance increased several times over, completing a transformation.
Xu Zhengyang even felt that with his current strength, he could probably fight a Soul Sage Soul Sage, and one with extremely powerful combat abilities at that.
Unfortunately, although the group dissected the Golden Tiger King, they did not find Soul Bone.
After everything was settled on site, Jing Hongchen planned to lead everyone away from the Jingyang Mountain Range.
Xu Zhengyang quickly said, "Dean, I want to go out and gain some experience on my own."
Jing Hongchen looked displeased. " Xu Zhengyang, although you have now reached the Soul King realm, your Soul Power Level is still at the bottom of the entire team. Moreover, your studies are so heavy now. Isn't it a waste of time for you to go out and train alone?"
Xu Zhengyang said, "Dean, I really have something important to deal with, and I had planned this training trip for a long time. I'm just waiting to obtain my Fifth Soul Ring."
Seeing Xu Zhengyang's confident demeanor, Jing Hongchen finally waved her hand helplessly.
"Alright, you can go by yourself. With your strength, you shouldn't encounter any danger. But remember, this training shouldn't last too long; it's best to complete it within a year."
