Chapter 50, First Soul Ring
Chapter 50 The Third Soul Ring
After guarding the stream for two days, the two left, intending to search elsewhere. They figured there probably wouldn't be any good spirit beasts around here, and they would come back if they couldn't find any.
But as fate would have it, just half a day after leaving, he actually found a very good soul beast.
As the two passed through a grove of trees, countless soul beast bees emerged from it. Though not large, they were still about the size of eggs, and their sheer number was overwhelming. Yang Zhentian quickly pulled his son away.
Yang Podi still seemed a little shaken: "Dad, those looked like Sunset Bees, how come there were so many?"
"That's right, that was a Sunset Bee. It's a unique spirit beast of the Sunset Forest, and it's also a type that agile spirit masters tend to like."
Yang Podi thought for a moment: "Dad, I feel something's not right. Why were there so many Sunset Bees just now? And they all seemed to be moving in the same direction, as if they were fighting each other or something."
"Something's definitely not right. Could it be that some kind of spirit beast dares to steal the Sunset Bees' honey? That's incredibly audacious. You know, the Sunset Bees are one of the overlords of the Sunset Forest, and they're known for their large numbers."
"Dad, shall we go take a look? A soul beast that can provoke Sunset Bees is probably no ordinary creature."
After a moment's thought, Yang Zhentian led Yang Podi and the other man around to the direction the Sunset Bees had flown, only to find themselves in a mud pit. Countless Sunset Bees were flying around on the surface of the mud pit.
It wasn't until half a day later that the sunset bees seemed to give up and gradually left.
Several hours later, a bear actually crawled out of the mud. It looked a bit clumsy, but it was quite intimidating.
The bear actually rolled around on the grass a few times, and a lot of the mud on its body disappeared. It seemed to be quite intelligent. Then it ran to a nearby stream and jumped into it, wanting to take a bath and wash off the mud.
However, perhaps due to bad luck, a bear roar suddenly rang out, as if it had been bitten by something in the water.
Immediately afterwards, the clumsy bear struggled desperately, and the entire stream was filled with blood red.
The bear seemed to have finally managed to climb ashore, but the spirit beast that had injured it also chased it ashore.
After being cleaned up, the bear revealed its true form: a ten-thousand-year-old Earth Demon Bear. This type of Earth Demon Bear is incredibly powerful, with astonishing strength. Among ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, there are practically no rivals to it; it's a veritable tyrant. No wonder it dared to provoke the Sunset Bees.
But the soul beast that attacked him seemed even more terrifying. Emerging from the stream was a golden crocodile, its entire body covered in thick golden armor. The crocodile was over ten meters long, and its tail was particularly terrifying, resembling a spiked club with an extremely sharp tip.
Yang Zhentian and Yang Podi both exclaimed simultaneously, "Golden Crocodile!"
Yang Zhentian examined it carefully: "No, this isn't a golden crocodile, it's the King of Golden Crocodiles."
Yang Podi quickly asked, "Dad, how old is this Golden Crocodile King?"
"Judging from the length of this golden crocodile king and the condition of its teeth, it should be between 3500 and 4000 years old."
"This is the Golden Crocodile King. I want it as my third spirit ring."
On the battlefield, after only a few rounds, the Earth Demon Bear was already severely injured, with one of its arms even being torn off. The Earth Demon Bear's claws struck the Golden Crocodile King with all its might, leaving only a shallow mark without drawing blood.
Yang Zhentian quickly summoned his Soul-Breaking Spear and eight soul rings. The soul rings flashed and flew swiftly towards the battlefield, striking the Golden Crocodile King's mouth with a single blow, leaving a piercing wound on the Golden Crocodile King.
However, the Golden Crocodile King seemed extremely ferocious, biting directly onto the Soul-Breaking Spear, preventing it from advancing any further. Immediately afterwards, its massive crocodile tail lashed out at Yang Zhentian, attempting to force him to retreat.
At this moment, Yang Zhentian was already a high-level Soul Douluo, so how could he be defeated by this attack? He directly drew out the Soul-Breaking Spear and stabbed it at the tail of the Golden Crocodile King. Immediately, a sharp sound of metal clashing rang out, and a huge wound appeared on the tail of the Golden Crocodile King.
Yang Zhentian's soul rings flashed again, and this time the Soul-Breaking Spear pierced directly into the Golden Crocodile King, creating another large hole in its body, from which blood gushed out.
The golden crocodile king seemed to be in pain and turned to try to escape into the stream.
But Yang Zhentian wasn't about to let him leave. This time, he activated his sixth soul skill. A black soul ring flashed, and the Soul-Breaking Spear swiftly pierced towards the Golden Crocodile King, pinning it to the ground and piercing its entire body.
Having suffered repeated blows, the golden crocodile king was clearly beyond saving. It lay on the ground, continuing to writhe, seemingly unwilling to accept its fate.
The giant earth bear, however, had already taken the opportunity to escape, leaving only one of its arms on the ground. Perhaps the silly bear was just lucky.
"Son, come and kill this golden crocodile king!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi quickly ran to his father's side.
"Dad, with this kind of attack, won't this golden crocodile king die so quickly?"
"How is that possible? This golden crocodile king is incredibly resilient. You should kill it quickly."
Yang Podi used his Soul-Breaking Spear to pierce the Golden Crocodile King's eye. Seeing that the Golden Crocodile King was still swinging and hadn't died after the first blow, he had no choice but to use the Soul-Breaking Spear to pierce the other eye. Only then did the Golden Crocodile King slowly stop swinging, and a purple soul ring appeared above its corpse.
Yang Podi sat beside the corpse of the Golden Crocodile King, summoning his martial soul, the Soul-Breaking Spear, with his right hand, and activated the purple soul ring, which began to fly towards him.
As the spirit ring flew toward his body, a tremendous power seemed to emanate from it, causing the soul power within his entire body to surge violently, as if he were engulfed in a sea of fire. This pain was countless times greater than when Yang Podi first absorbed a spirit ring.
Gradually, a purple soul ring appeared on the spear, like a bracelet. But the pain seemed to have only just begun. His entire body, even his right hand, felt as if he were in magma, every cell and every wisp of his soul being tempered.
At this moment, his mind was as if it were in a sea of fire, and there seemed to be a giant holding a long spear, defiantly facing the heavens and the earth.
It took Yang Podi a full six hours for his body to gradually calm down, and his soul power, which had surged dramatically, gradually stabilized.
At this moment, the giant in his mind seemed to have a hint of silver and a hint of gold, while the Soul-Breaking Spear was even heavier and the tip was even sharper, like a peerless divine weapon.
Thus, Yang Podi successfully absorbed the third spirit ring of the 4000-year-old Golden Crocodile King. This spirit ring has great benefits, and is not just a powerful spirit skill.
