Chapter Ninety-Two: The Two Great Soul Skills (3)

The Black-Armored Dragon-Elephant truly moved at astonishing speed. Huge and furious, it charged straight at Lin An.

With a thunderous roar, it tore a path of devastation wherever it went, even the ground trembling beneath its feet.

Unfortunately, although the Black-Armored Dragon-Elephant was massive, it was not very bright. Even after Lin An had easily evaded its charge, it still kept smashing forward as if it did not care whether it lived or died.

Lin An had not expected this at all. Wasn’t it said that spirit beasts all possessed battle instincts? Why was this Black-Armored Dragon-Elephant so foolish?

At this rate, anyone seeing this might even suspect that the beast was trying to flee the battlefield.

“Still, this is fine. It saves me a great deal of trouble,” Lin An said with a smile. With his strength, he could wear the beast down to death even if he took his time.

He quickly pursued it. The Black-Armored Dragon-Elephant was still standing there in a daze. After stopping its charge, it seemed to be searching for its target.

With a leap, Lin An landed on the dragon-elephant’s head and began hammering down blow after blow.

At once, the beast went berserk. Its mind was struck numb by the relentless force, and yet Lin An clung to it like a parasite that could not be shaken off. Worse still, on several occasions the beast actually swung its own trunk, capable of shattering stone, viciously against its own head.

That absurd display genuinely startled Lin An.

As time passed, even with the Black-Armored Dragon-Elephant’s formidable defense and hide as thick as armor, it could no longer endure. It collapsed directly to the ground.

Even now, the beast had not completely died. It lay there unable even to struggle.

Only then did the Grandmaster hurry over. “Now, you only need one last strike, and the spirit ring will appear!”

Even now, he still found it hard to believe, as though his entire worldview had been shattered.

Lin An nodded and delivered the final blow.

Soon, the spirit ring appeared. Following the Grandmaster’s instructions, Lin An absorbed the ring that drifted up from the Black-Armored Dragon-Elephant.

[Spirit Ring Fusion Successful. Current ring age: 4320+]

The absorption went smoothly, without the slightest difficulty. As soon as the system’s notification rang in his ears, the fusion was complete.

At the same time, behind the displayed ring age, there was also an option to add years. If Lin An had guessed correctly, this should be the feature that allowed him to increase the spirit ring’s age.

[Obtained Spirit Skill: Black Armor Instant Kill Force!]

Black Armor Instant Kill Force: Upon activation, it instantly gathers all the power within one’s body and unleashes the strongest strike. Its might is judged according to the user’s strength and level!

[Obtained 200 Soul Points!]

[Obtained one Spirit Bone!]

A mere Black-Armored Dragon-Elephant had brought him so much already. Especially the first spirit skill he had obtained; it suited him perfectly.

After activating Yama’s Descent, his power could erupt fiftyfold in an instant. Now, combined with this Black Armor Instant Kill Force, it was an absolute trump card for killing foes above his level in a single blow.

As for the spirit bone, Lin An chose not to fuse it. With the attribute boosts granted by both the dragon-elephant bloodline and the true dragon bloodline, his defensive power was probably unmatched among those of the same rank.

“So quickly, it was a success?” The Grandmaster felt that after everything he had experienced with Lin An, his tolerance should have grown much stronger. Yet even now, he still could not accept what he was seeing.

What happened to the danger? What happened to the fusion time?

Why did all his prior understanding seem to collapse the moment it came to Lin An?

“Did I miss some other step?” Lin An asked in confusion.

“No... no!” The Grandmaster warned himself inwardly to stay calm. Stay calm!

“It’s almost dawn. Since that’s the case, we should find a place to rest for now,” the Grandmaster said.

Lin An nodded. He summoned Little Purple once more, then led the two of them to a decent resting place.

After a night of turmoil, they were indeed somewhat exhausted.

With Little Purple present, there was basically no great threat in this Spirit Hunting Forest. It was not until dawn that the two of them woke up.

Having fused his first spirit ring, Lin An could clearly feel that some of the restraints within his body had been lifted, and he could now use quite a bit more of his power.

At the same time, the changes brought by the spirit ring fusion were not limited to that. Lin An could feel that another force still remained within him. He believed that once he returned to the Dou Qi Continent, his strength would certainly surge explosively.

“Next, we need to find your second spirit ring. For your second ring, I suggest trying to fuse a skill with group attack potential. Take the Roaring Heaven Burst Tiger, for example; its sonic attack is an area-of-effect strike.”

“Ordinary spirit master teams are extremely afraid of running into it, because it possesses the terrifying power to wipe out an entire squad!”

The Grandmaster continued.

Another fearsome ability of the dragon-elephant was its terrifying sonic attack.

When the dragon-elephant roars, heaven and earth shatter. That was how its furious cry was described, for its attack power was monstrous. In its prime, a single roar from a dragon-elephant could even shatter the heavens themselves.

Lin An nodded. It was indeed a good choice.

If the second spirit skill possessed a stunning effect, then using it in combination with the first spirit skill would be nothing short of a nightmare for any enemy.

The Roaring Heaven Burst Tiger’s location in the Spirit Hunting Forest could be said to be common knowledge. It was a forbidden zone, and ordinary people simply did not dare approach it.

Under the Grandmaster’s guidance, they soon arrived at the Roaring Heaven Burst Tiger’s territory.

It was only a thousand-year spirit beast, and with Lin An’s strength, killing it was naturally easy. He successfully fused its spirit ring as well.

[Spirit Skill: Dragon-Elephant Roar]

Dragon-Elephant Roar: Can impose soul suppression on enemies within a certain range, with a chance to shock the enemy’s soul and inflict tremendous damage!

It had to be said, this was another heaven-defying skill.

Of course, this was mainly thanks to Lin An’s own heaven-defying martial soul. If it had been an ordinary martial soul, even after successfully absorbing the spirit rings of such powerful spirit beasts, the resulting spirit skills would still have their limits.

After absorbing two spirit rings, by the standards of Douluo Continent, Lin An was already a level-29 Great Spirit Master. He knew that if he continued obtaining spirit rings, he could still break through to the Spirit Elder realm.

However, after searching the Spirit Hunting Forest for an entire day, they still had not found a spirit beast suited to Lin An.

Perhaps only in the Star Dou Forest would he find one suitable for his martial soul.

“With your breakthrough speed, I’m afraid there has never been another like you in all these years of Douluo Continent’s history,” the Grandmaster said with emotion.

“If it weren’t for the Grandmaster, I wouldn’t have been able to find spirit rings suited to me so easily.”

“To express my gratitude, I may actually have a way to change your fate...” Lin An suddenly said.
