Ye Lingling stepped forward, looking at the beautiful and peaceful Soul Beast before her. A trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes, but for the sake of the path to becoming Soul Master, this step was unavoidable.
She took out the prepared dagger and, under Tang Jian's encouraging gaze, gave it a peaceful end.
A black Soul Ring, radiating a rich emerald luster and brimming with vitality and gentle healing energy, slowly rose. In stark contrast to the ferocity of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Soul Ring, this Soul Ring evoked feelings of warmth, inclusiveness, and purification.
Ye Lingling sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the nutrients.
The process was much smoother than Zhu Zhuqing's. Although the Emerald Spirit Deer's Soul Ring energy was enormous, its nature was gentle, which was highly compatible with the healing nature of Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul.
The massive life energy surged into her body, not only propelling Ye Lingling's Soul Power Level to break through bottlenecks, but also subtly improving her physique and affinity for life energy.
About three hours later, Ye Lingling slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes shone with a bright green light, and her aura was smooth and gentle, even more unfathomable than before.
" Lingling, how is it?" Tang Jian asked impatiently, even more nervous than Ye Lingling herself.
Ye Lingling felt the surging Soul Power within her body and said softly, " My Soul Power has reached level fifty-two."
She paused, then described the newly acquired Soul Skill in detail. " The Fifth Soul Skill is called ' Heart of Emerald.' It is a powerful group healing and purification skill. It can release an emerald-colored healing aura that covers a certain area, continuously restoring the health and Soul Power of allies within the area, and can effectively dispel and purify most negative statuses, such as poison, curse, weakness, and fear."
Group healing and purification! It can also restore Soul Power! The value of this Soul Skill is immeasurable in team battles! Especially when facing enemies who are good at using poison or have strange control abilities, " Heart of Emerald " will become a strong support for the team.
"That's wonderful!" Oscar exclaimed sincerely. Zhu Zhuqing also cast a congratulatory glance at Ye Lingling.
Tang Feng nodded approvingly. "An excellent Soul Skill, Sister Lingling, congratulations. With this Soul Skill, your Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul Soul's support capabilities will be further enhanced."
Dugu Bo stroked his beard with satisfaction. "Hmm, not bad. This Emerald Spirit Deer is of superior age and quality, perfectly complementing your Martial Soul."
Ye Lingling's success means that the first two goals of this trip to Sunset Forest have been successfully achieved, and the team's morale is even higher. The only regret is that the ' Emerald Spirit Deer ' did not produce Soul Bone.
There is one last, and most powerful, target: the White-Eyed Devil Tiger King, who has lived for 75,000 years.
After leaving the idyllic Emerald Hot Spring Valley, the atmosphere in the group turned somber once again.
Deep within the forest lurked countless dangers, forcing the group to slow their pace. After two days of searching, they officially entered the territory ruled by the White-Eyed Devil Tiger King.
The area was littered with broken ancient trees, deep claw marks, and the territorial markings of apex predators.
Even three Titled Douluo had to be extremely vigilant here.
Dugu Bo and Tang Lie, being experienced, repeatedly signaled to everyone to conceal their presence, slow their pace, and move forward stealthily.
Yang Wudi's Soul Breaking Spear remained in a semi-activated state, its tip emitting a faint, chilling glint.
The young people held their breath, even breathing very softly. Zhu Zhuqing and Tang Jian instinctively protected Oscar and Ye Lingling.
"It's in the valley behind that rocky outcrop ahead," Dugu Bo transmitted his voice through his Soul Power, his words resounding directly in everyone's minds. "Its aura is very strong, at least 75,000 years old, and extremely vigilant. We can't get any closer, or we'll surely be discovered."
After discussion, in order to be on the safe side and to avoid the younger generation being affected in a battle of this level, the group decided that the strongest members, Tang Lie and Dugu Bo, along with Tang Feng, who needed to personally acquire the Soul Ring, would go to fight.
Yang Wudi, Tang Jian, and Zhu Zhuqing stayed behind with Oscar and Ye Lingling, waiting in a relatively safe location at a distance to prevent other Soul Beast from being attracted by the battle.
Tang Feng took a deep breath, gave his companions who remained behind a reassuring look, and then exchanged a knowing glance with Tang Lie and Dugu Bo. The three figures silently made their way towards the valley filled with a terrifying aura.
The outbreak of the great war was a foregone conclusion.
As Tang Feng and his companions stepped into the core area, a deafening, furious tiger's roar instantly shattered the silence of the valley!
A giant tiger, as big as a small mountain, with jet-black fur, only its eyes were as white as snow, and strange patterns were faintly visible on its forehead, pounced out of its cave!
It simply stood there, and an invisible spiritual pressure surged forth like a tide, making people feel palpitations and dizzy. The explosive power contained within its robust body even made the air seem to freeze.
The White-Eyed Devil Tiger King, with a history of 75,000 years, is undoubtedly one of the overlords of Sunset Forest!
The battle was intense from the very beginning. Tang Lie, wielding the Clear Sky Hammer, transformed into the Blazing Sun Douluo, each strike powerful and unparalleled, directly confronting the terrifying power of the Devil Tiger King and diverting most of its attention.
Dugu Bo roamed the perimeter, while the Jade Phosphorus Poison Dragon transformed into various tricky attacks to disrupt his movements, erode his defenses, and keep him constantly on guard against its unpredictable mental attacks.
Tang Feng, relying on his fighting instincts and strong physique, sought out openings and targeted the opponent's relatively weak points such as joints and waist, delivering ruthless and precise blows.
The White-Eyed Devil Tiger King roared repeatedly, its power raging wildly. Sand and stones flew through the valley, and the light of its Soul Skill and the explosions of energy resounded continuously. Trees collapsed in swathes, and the ground cracked.
Just as Tang Lie Lie's heavy hammer struck the Devil Tiger King, causing it to stagger, and Dugu Bo's deadly poison slowed its movements, Tang Feng seized the opportunity and unleashed a full-force blow, striking the White-Eyed Devil Tiger King hard on the back of the head!
"Roar!!!"
The final, mournful cry abruptly ceased. The massive tiger's body crashed to the ground, shaking the earth.
A deep black Soul Ring slowly emerged from the corpse, emanating a suffocatingly powerful energy fluctuation.
What's even more surprising is that, along with the appearance of the Soul Ring, a piece of bone, with its dark gold and pale white color interwoven, shaped like a forearm, and exuding a sharp edge and faint spiritual fluctuations, appeared on the White-Eyed Devil Tiger King's right arm.
That's the Right Arm Soul Bone of the White-Eyed Devil Tiger King, which is 75,000 years old!
At this moment, the remaining people heard that the fighting had stopped, so they all gathered around.
Tang Feng picked up the extremely high-quality Right Arm Soul Bone and his gaze swept across everyone's faces.
Tang Lie and Tang Jian have already absorbed the Right Arm Soul Bone, so they don't need it. Dugu Bo's poison attribute is not very compatible with this power-type Soul Bone.
Tang Feng's gaze finally fell on his maternal grandfather Yang Wudi.
Since Yang Wudi gave him the invaluable Head Soul Bone the " Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King," he still doesn't have a single Soul Bone in his body.
This Right Arm Bone of the White-Eyed Devil Tiger King possesses both powerful attack amplification and a certain degree of mental resistance. For the Soul Breaking Spear, which focuses on attack and is known for its unstoppable momentum, it is undoubtedly an excellent enhancement, greatly increasing its instantaneous burst power.
"Grandpa," Tang Feng walked up to Yang Wudi and held up the Soul Bone with both hands, "This Soul Bone is for you to absorb."
Yang Wudi was taken aback, then quickly waved his hand. "No! This Right Arm Bone is of extremely high quality and age; it will be of great benefit to you!"
Tang Feng shook his head, his tone sincere and firm. "Grandpa, to be honest, I already have a target for my Right Arm Soul Bone."
"My Seventh Soul Ring is set on the forest emperor, the Titan Giant Ape."
Its Soul Bone is the ultimate choice I've reserved for my right arm. This White-Eyed Devil Tiger King Soul Bone is good, but it deviates slightly from my plan, while it's a perfect match for your Soul Breaking Spear.
You gave me your most precious Head Soul Bone, and now you have no Soul Bone left. Please accept this Right Arm Bone.
Tang Lie chimed in, "Old Yang, the child's intentions are purely filial, and he has given this matter considerable thought. Please don't refuse. Your increased strength will be a great benefit to Feng'er and the sect."
Dugu Bo nodded, eager to try, and said, "Brother Yang, since the Little Monster is so ambitious, then you should take him in. We can go together to help the Little Monster hunt down the ' Titan Giant Ape '."
Seeing Tang Feng's sincere gaze and then at the powerful Soul Bone Soul Bone, Yang Wudi stopped being coy and accepted it. "Alright! Then Grandpa will accept it!"
