Chapter 178 The Jade Shield and the Three-Headed 100,000-Year-Old Soul Beast
A 100,000-year-old soul beast! Kong Tianxu's eyes narrowed slightly. To be honest, this was the first time he had ever truly faced a 100,000-year-old soul beast. The Snow Empress initially appeared in embryonic form, and the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well were far inferior in strength to a true 100,000-year-old being.
It seems this is the 100,000-year-old soul beast that Zhang Lexuan encountered.
He withdrew his gaze and focused his attention on his left arm. Beneath the jade-like skin, faint blue blood could be seen flowing slowly, even tinging the surrounding bones with a faint blue glow.
He wasn't interested in this 100,000-year-old Netherworld Wolf King, which was close to the level of a beast king. In comparison, what he obtained from the Xuanjia Jade Horn Rhinoceros herd was much more precious and abundant.
"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for Dean Xian to directly attack a 100,000-year-old soul beast? We seem to have an agreement with the Star Dou Great Forest, right?" Hua Yao asked softly.
"That's mostly for spirit beasts in dangerous places. When you really encounter a 100,000-year spirit beast, you won't even have time to fight to the death. Otherwise, how do you think Senior Brother Jin got his 100,000-year spirit ring?" Gu Fan explained to Hua Yao.
"Besides, do you really think this 100,000-year-old soul beast just came to see what we look like?" He sneered.
As if to prove his words, as the seemingly lazy and leisurely Netherworld Wolf King slowly approached Xian Lin'er, ghostly figures silently gathered on the shattered land around them.
They didn't make a sound at all. But an invisible sense of crisis gripped everyone's hearts like a giant hand.
Those were wolf-shaped soul beasts covered in black fur. In a short while, more than a hundred of them appeared in the field of vision. As they ran, their bodies even had a faint sense of illusion.
The Ghost Wolf is a type of spirit beast known for its incredible speed and exceptional evasiveness.
Although these ghost wolves in front of us don't have a complete golden pattern on their foreheads like the Netherworld Wolf King, they all have at least a tuft of golden hair, which means that their cultivation level is at least over a thousand years.
In fact, the Netherworld Wolf King is the evolved form of the Ghost Wolf, and their innate skills are all inherited from each other.
However, this time, facing a pack of ghost wolves whose strength was clearly superior to that of the Xuanjia Jade Horned Rhinoceros pack, everyone looked relaxed, and Jin Yehuan was even more eager to try.
With a Super Douluo in charge, this 100,000-year-old Netherworld Wolf King is practically just there to be eaten.
Xianlin'er moved.
She let out a clear, long roar, and in a flash, she soared into the sky. During the process, her body rapidly grew taller, transforming into a giant over five meters tall in the blink of an eye, her entire body covered in blue armor like dragon scales.
Her armor was like scales covering her entire body. Kong Tianxu knew that she was already a hundred years old, which was still considered young among the titled Douluo.
But at this moment, when Xian Lin'er put on this armor and nine soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—rose from her feet, her enlarged figure seemed to have returned to youth, like a girl in her early twenties, exuding a heroic and awe-inspiring fighting spirit.
The Netherworld Wolf King launched its attack simultaneously. Its body swayed slightly, and a dense aura of darkness suddenly erupted. Clusters of eerie, purplish-black bubbles rose from the ground, rapidly spreading and enveloping Xian Lin'er.
Xian Lin'er thrust her spear forward swiftly, and a deafening dragon's roar erupted from her mouth. In an instant, azure flames surged forth, condensing into a gigantic dragon head, which crashed fiercely into the purplish-black bubble.
"laugh--!"
The bubbles burst upon contact, vanishing without a trace. The azure dragon head continued its momentum, accelerating towards the Netherworld Wolf King.
The Azure Flame Dragon is the martial soul of Martial God Douluo Xian Lin'er. It is a mutated form of the Azure Shadow Douluo Song Lao, created by combining the martial soul of a Golden Dragon bloodline expert. It is a type of flying dragon and belongs to the same level of powerful martial soul as the Rouge Dragon, which is the direct descendant of the Earth Dragon Gate of Nan Shui Shui and Nan Qiu Qiu.
Even the spear in Xian Lin'er's hand was an innate manifestation of her martial soul, simulating the existence of the Golden Dragon Spear. After her modification, it became an eighth-level melee soul tool.
The annihilation of the Crimson Dragon's attributes is a direct destruction and obliteration, while the Azure Flame Dragon, although its entire body releases azure flames, is actually of the wind attribute. Those flames are generated by the intense friction after the wind attribute ability is compressed at high speed, possessing powerful decomposition attributes of cutting and dispersing.
Therefore, the explosive power of the Azure Flame Dragon even surpasses that of the Fire Dragon Martial Soul. Thus, Xian Lin'er's forte is direct combat and breakthroughs, not to mention that she has actually released her true Martial Soul form at this moment.
Soul Masters at the Super Douluo level no longer need to reveal their Soul Rings to unleash Soul Skills; they have complete control over their skills with every move.
The Netherworld Wolf King was clearly taken aback. When it was less than ten meters away from the blue dragon's head, its body suddenly swayed, and another Netherworld Wolf King appeared on its left and right sides.
The three attacked from different directions. One lunged at Xianlin and the others, while the others split into two groups and surrounded Kong Tianxu and the others.
Netherworld Clone, a talent skill of the Netherworld Wolf King, is an evolved version of the Ghost Clone. Only one of the three clones is real, but the other two also possess real attack power.
This talent skill is not only practical, but also quite effective. If it weren't for the fact that the clones of Soul Masters could not use Soul Skills after obtaining this skill, the Ghost Wolves would probably have been wiped out long ago.
Even so, the Thousand-Year Ghost Wolf is still a popular choice for many Beast Soul Masters.
Jin Yehuan once again charged forward without hesitation, and Kong Tianxu and Zhang Lexuan also met up with the other clone.
Even the clone, which only possessed partial offensive power, originated from a 100,000-year-old soul skill. To ensure safety, Jin Yehuan unleashed his sixth soul skill with full power without hesitation.
Then, he flew backward at an even faster speed than when he came.
In mid-air, he had only one thought left: it was real!
"Scatter! These are three 100,000-year-old soul beasts!"
As if in response to his exclamation, the other two giant wolves instantly tore off their disguises!
The faint, ethereal aura of darkness vanished, replaced by a sudden surge of terrifying, ferocious pressure—one head with fur as red as blood, and another surrounded by swirling blue vortexes.
One hundred thousand years ago, the Blood Moon Wolf King! One hundred thousand years ago, the Wind Demon Wolf King!
Three 100,000-year-old soul beasts!
Based on the number of soul beasts that appeared at the Spirit Transmission Ritual test site after the beast tide in the original work, and the statistics of recent years, the total number of 100,000-year soul beasts that are still active in the Star Dou Great Forest is around thirty. This time, one-tenth of them have arrived!
Kong Tianxu didn't know whether his group was lucky or unlucky. With their lineup, encountering a 100,000-year-old soul beast was like sending food to them, and encountering two would be a big mistake.
After all, while a Super Douluo could easily take on two opponents in terms of pure combat power, Xian Lin'er still had to consider the weaker students like Li Zhuangyun, as this was the perilous Star Dou Great Forest.
As for the three-headed wolf king, they must retreat and avoid confrontation. These three 100,000-year-old wolf kings are clearly working together, and they are all relatively strong among 100,000-year-old soul beasts. We don't know what trump cards they have.
Not to mention the ever-growing and increasingly terrifying number of ghost wolves.
Xian Lin'er reacted extremely quickly. The moment she sensed something was wrong, she slashed the Netherworld Wolf King, who was trying to withstand the Azure Flame Dragon's head and entangle her, and sent him flying. She wanted to come back to help, but it was too late.
The flying Valkyrie charged too fast and too deep.
The three-headed wolf king, at this moment, was in a special position, surrounding everyone in a circle.
Moreover, seemingly because Jin Yehuan was knocked back into the crowd, the ghost wolf pack, unfortunately, quickly surrounded Kong Tianxu and Zhang Lexuan.
"Go!" Kong Tianxu made a decisive decision, turned around and ran. Zhang Lexuan gritted her teeth and followed, lightly touching the ground with her toes to lift Kong Tianxu's body off the ground. As an 80th-level Soul Master, she was already able to maintain flight for a period of time.
They clearly have no way to go back and reunite now, with the Blood Moon Wolf King blocking their way. All they can do now is run.
These 100,000-year-old soul beasts were clearly planning to defeat them one by one. Once they were truly surrounded, it would be difficult for them to withstand the combined attack of two 100,000-year-old soul beasts and the ghost wolf pack at the same time. It would be better for them to break out separately.
As for the others, Kong Tianxu's thoughts were clear. He believed that Xian Lin'er's strength had suddenly increased. Black, blue, and red halos lit up from the top of the three-headed wolf king's head and suddenly expanded.
The moment the three halos overlapped in the air, Kong Tianxu and Zhang Lexuan rushed to the edge of their encirclement.
Buzz—
An indescribable, terrifying pressure suddenly descended, and Zhang Lexuan felt a tightness all over her body, as if she were bound by an invisible force, and her flowing soul power instantly froze. That force was extremely tyrannical, forcibly pulling her down from mid-air to the ground.
At this moment, the three wolf kings were all shimmering with black, blue, and red light, and the three intersecting rings on the ground shone brightly, completely fixing Zhang Lexuan in place.
Sure enough! Kong Tianxu's lips twitched.
"This... could this be the legendary Trinity, the fusion technique of three martial souls?"
Zhang Lexuan's beautiful eyes widened in shock, yet she was unable to move. Kong Tianxu coldly said, "No, it's just a sublimation of a soul skill."
Soul Fusion Skills can be broadly divided into two categories. One category consists of combined skills performed by multiple Soul Masters who complement each other through the characteristics of their Souls, representing an advancement in Soul Master teamwork.
True martial soul fusion skills, like those of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er, involve the deep fusion of martial souls within the body, triggering a qualitative change, and are usually limited to the two individuals involved.
Even if it's not a true fusion, the combined skills of three 100,000-year-old soul beasts are enough to give Shrek Academy a run for their money.
Just as Zhang Lexuan felt her mental and soul power being completely suppressed, Kong Tianxu raised his left hand.
A warm, bluish light quickly spread from his forearm, dyeing his entire left hand the same color.
Within the light, Zhang Lexuan clearly saw a sharp jade horn—a horn she had seen not long ago, the most precious source of power from the 70,000-year-old Xuanjia Jade Horn Rhinoceros: the Xuanyu Horn.
However, Kong Tianxu prefers to call it the Xuanyu Shield.
The left arm is attached with a soul bone and a black jade shield.
It was this that endowed Kong Tianxu's sixth spirit ring, the Xuanjia Jade Horn Rhinoceros, with the characteristic of infinite evolution, and also made Kong Tianxu make a firm decision to give up the readily available 100,000-year Evil Eye Tyrant spirit ring and make his current choice.
