The Unwelcome Arrival of Spirit Hall

"It's actually the Evil Shadow Flood Dragon's External Dragon Claw Bone!"

It was hard to believe his luck could be this good! The second Soul Beast he had ever killed had actually dropped an External Soul Bone!

Luo Zixi was internally screaming holy shit, while Xiao Wu's pale red eyes were also filled with little stars when she saw the glittering dragon claw.

"Zixi, put away this dragon claw Soul Bone first. Absorb its Soul Ring before anything else." As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Xiao Wu also understood just how precious the Soul Bone it had dropped was.

"Mm!" Luo Zixi did not waste any words. With a casual gesture, he stored the entire dragon claw in his System Space.

With a light slap of one hand against the ground, dozens of vines began wildly wrapping around this underground deep pool. One could intend to harm others, but one must never let down one's guard.

In Luo Zixi's eyes, no matter what he did, his own life would always come first.

"Xiao Wu, stand guard for me. If anything comes to cause trouble, just enter the Sea of Consciousness and call for me."

After hearing Luo Zixi's words, Xiao Wu nodded very seriously.

Soul Masters were extremely vulnerable when absorbing Soul Rings. The slightest carelessness could result in internal injuries at best, or a loss of cultivation and permanent stagnation at worst.

However, as Luo Zixi drew the Soul Ring into his body and his mind gradually returned to the Sea of Consciousness, four figures of varying shapes silently appeared by the lakeside.

When they looked out from the center of the lake, their eyes were filled with shock. The trees and ground within several hundred meters had all been reduced to ruins.

The lake had also become murky from the fierce battle between man and dragon just now. Looking down from here, they could only see mud and gravel suspended midway through the water.

"Na Na, be careful. That beast fought so fiercely just now. It must have killed that child already and is currently recuperating in the lake."

Yan stated something that was obvious at a glance. Although Hu Liena and Xie Yue did not particularly want to pay attention to him, they still nodded in response for the sake of being colleagues.

"Why don't we leave? I have a feeling something isn't right about this place."

Naturally cautious, Xie Yue was the second to voice an opinion. Even from a distance, they had been able to feel that terrifying purple dragon breath just now. Even the three of them would definitely be severely injured if they took such a blow head-on!

"Run? Run from what? It's just an injured Ten Thousand Year Evil Shadow Flood Dragon that doesn't dare come out. Are the three of us, Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, really unable to defeat it?"

Yan stared fixedly at the bottom of the lake, his scarlet eyes filled with greed.

Dragon-type Soul Beasts over ten thousand years old had an extremely high chance of dropping Soul Bones! Not to mention a terrestrial dragon Soul Beast of such excellent quality.

Of course, even if it did not drop a Soul Bone in the end, its dragon tendons and dragon scales were still priceless treasures!

"Chrysanthemum Elder, what do you think?"

Hu Liena was actually more inclined to agree with her brother, but Chrysanthemum Douluo was standing beside her, so she wanted to hear his opinion.

Upon hearing Hu Liena ask him, Yue Guan did not beat around the bush like Yan.

"This is a twenty-thousand-year Evil Shadow Flood Dragon. You should know that dragon-type Soul Beasts over ten thousand years old have a chance of dropping Soul Bones dozens of times higher than other Soul Beasts, so..."

Yue Guan stopped there, leaving it at that. A glint also appeared in Hu Liena and Xie Yue's eyes! A Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, a Blood River Treasure!

Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts were already scarce, and every one of them was exceedingly cunning. Those related to dragons were even rarer!

For them to encounter one now could only mean that this Evil Shadow Flood Dragon was terribly unlucky. Though it had just killed a Soul Master genius, it had now caught the eye of Yue Guan, a Titled Douluo.

"Chrysanthemum Elder, just watch me. I'll draw it out!"

As Yan's body gradually grew taller and more terrifying, his massive fists slammed directly into the lakeshore.

"Rumble!!!!!"

For a moment, the earth shook and magma surged across the ground. The entire lake surface seemed on the verge of collapse beneath his violent destruction.

Meanwhile, within the underground cave, Luo Zixi remained remarkably calm as he absorbed the Soul Ring of this twenty-thousand-year Evil Shadow Flood Dragon.

As for its lingering soul and spiritual shockwaves, they were directly crushed into dust by his overwhelming spiritual power, becoming nourishment for his Sea of Consciousness.

Xiao Wu had already told Luo Zixi about the situation outside, but with the method they were using, they could not possibly disturb this cave at the bottom of a lake hundreds of meters deep.

Yet through his plant-based senses, Luo Zixi discovered a tall, thin middle-aged man whose strength he could not detect at all.

Although he did not know why they had stayed here to "cause trouble," he had been on guard from the moment they appeared.

He still had around eighty percent of his battle qi left. The two palms he had used to kill the Evil Shadow Flood Dragon earlier had each consumed ten percent of his battle qi.

On the Douluo Continent, this stuff was a "non-renewable resource." Once he used up this small reserve, it would truly be gone.

Before he knew it, five minutes had quietly passed. Though the area above was still being relentlessly bombarded, the cave was sturdy enough, and Luo Zixi had reinforced the surroundings with countless vines, so he was not affected much while absorbing the Soul Ring.

"Phew~"

Very soon, Luo Zixi completely absorbed the Soul Ring, and his Soul Power seemed to have reached level fifty-two.

Of course, he would need to absorb the remaining two Soul Rings before checking the exact level.
