Chapter 114: Thirty-Thousand-Year Golden-Eyed Blood Lion, god slaying armor Shows Its Might! (Seeking Follow-up Reads)
However, facing Dugu Bo's roar, Lin Yuan appeared exceptionally calm.
He looked at Dugu Bo, the corner of his mouth curving into a confident arc: "Senior Dugu Bo, you've known me for so long; when have you ever seen me do something I wasn't sure about?"
"It's just a mere Soul Shock. My mental force has long since opened up a Sea of Consciousness, and it's enough to rival a Spirit King."
Speaking to this point, spirit power surged within Lin Yuan, and two spirit rings rose from beneath his feet without any warning!
The first spirit ring, Ten-Thousand-Year!
The second spirit ring, Thousand-Year!
Lin Yuan spread his hands and looked at the petrified grandfather and granddaughter duo, smiling: "Who told you that I must abide by those so-called Iron Laws of the Spirit Master's world?"
"What?!"
This time, Dugu Bo was truly scared silly.
He stared fixedly at the black spirit ring beneath Lin Yuan's feet, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
"The first spirit ring is Ten-Thousand-Year?!"
"This... how is this possible?!"
"No matter how strong the physical quality is, the first spirit ring cannot directly leap to the Ten-Thousand-Year level!"
"Are you even human, kid?"
"Unless, unless you possess twin spirits and this is your second Spirit—no, no, no, that's not right either. Your spirit power Rank doesn't lie. Even if you have twin spirits, it's impossible for the first spirit ring to be Ten-Thousand-Year!"
Dugu Bo spoke incoherently, feeling as though his worldview had shattered into pieces.
"Do you believe me now?"
Lin Yuan retracted his spirit rings and said calmly: "My first spirit ring is a Natal Spirit Ring; it evolved to Ten-Thousand-Year as my Physique improved."
"Since my body can even withstand the Ten-Thousand-Year pressure of a first spirit ring,"
"Then why wouldn't it be okay for the third spirit ring to be a Ten-Thousand-Year one?"
Dugu Bo took several deep breaths before he managed to barely calm his emotions.
He looked at Lin Yuan with eyes as if he were looking at a monster, and finally sighed helplessly: "Fine, you kid really are a freak. It's the first time I've ever seen anyone's Spirit possess a so-called Natal Spirit Ring."
"Since you have such a Heaven-Defying talent, then this old man won't stop you."
"But let me put the ugly words first."
"If you can't hold on when the time comes, I will immediately step in to interrupt the spirit ring absorption. Even if it means ruining this spirit ring, I must save your life!"
Lin Yuan felt a warmth in his heart and nodded: "Thank you, Senior."
...Soon, the three of them began searching near the edge of the core area of the Sunset Forest.
With the pressure of Dugu Bo, a Rank ninety-four Titled Douluo, clearing the way, ordinary Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts had long since been scared away.
But what Lin Yuan was looking for was an extremely ferocious and bellicose Spirit Beast.
About an hour passed.
"Roar!"
A roar filled with tyranny and a bloody aura suddenly came from a valley ahead.
Immediately following, a thick scent of blood wafted over.
"Found it!"
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, and the group immediately concealed their auras and quietly approached. They saw a massive Spirit Beast feeding in the clearing of the valley ahead.
It was a giant lion covered entirely in gold and red fur!
Its body length exceeded five meters, its shoulder height was a full three meters, and its muscles bulged, filled with explosive power.
The most eye-catching feature was its pair of eyes; they weren't ordinary beast pupils, but blood pupils emitting an eerie red light!
At this moment, it was stepping on an Earth Bear. Its sharp fangs easily tore through the Earth Bear's thick defense as it devoured the flesh and blood in large gulps.
[Name: Golden-Eyed Blood Lion (Mutant Species)]
[Cultivation: Thirty Thousand Years]
[Characteristics: Extremely brutal personality, possesses the innate skill 'Bloodthirsty Berserk'. Its attack power is considered invincible among Spirit Beasts of the same level, and it comes with an armor-piercing effect!]
"Roar!!"
The Golden-Eyed Blood Lion that was feeding sensed the aura of outsiders and suddenly raised its head.
Those beast pupils emitting an eerie red light locked onto the three people in front of it, and it let out a deafening roar from its mouth.
As one of the overlords of this area, it had a cultivation of up to thirty thousand years!
In its territory, no human had ever dared to appear so openly.
Dugu Bo looked at the giant beast before him, his brows furrowing slightly as he subconsciously took a step forward, blocking Lin Yuan.
"A thirty-thousand-year Golden-Eyed Blood Lion, and a mutant species at that."
Dugu Bo said in a deep voice: "Kid, this beast's strength is top-tier even among Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts. In terms of combat power, it's enough to rival an early-stage human Spirit Emperor!"
"You are only at Rank thirty; the spirit power gap is too large."
"Should I take action first and help you cripple it, then you can go up and deliver the finishing blow?"
Although Lin Yuan had just displayed a Ten-Thousand-Year first ring, the chasm of spirit power Ranks was real.
A Prospective Spirit Elder who had just reached Rank thirty, going to solo a Spirit Beast comparable to Rank sixty combat power?
In Dugu Bo's view, this was simply seeking death.
However, facing Dugu Bo's suggestion, Lin Yuan gently shook his head.
"No need."
Lin Yuan looked at the Golden-Eyed Blood Lion, the Battle Intent in his eyes burning fiercely: "This battle is perfect for testing the results of my cultivation during this period."
Dugu Bo's brows were tightly knit: "Are you sure?"
"This isn't a joke. Once this beast goes mad, its speed and attack power will skyrocket. If I can't rescue you in time..."
Lin Yuan smiled: "Don't worry, I have a certain-win method."
The words had just fallen.
Lin Yuan wasted no more words. He tapped his toes lightly on the ground, and his whole body shot forward like an arrow from a bow, actively charging towards that massive Golden-Eyed Blood Lion!
"Roar!"
The Golden-Eyed Blood Lion was enraged.
A tiny human ant dared to take the initiative to provoke it?
It roared, its hind legs kicking off the ground as its massive body turned into a gold-red flash, carrying a suffocating fishy wind as it instantly pounced towards Lin Yuan!
At the moment the two sides were about to collide.
With a thought from Lin Yuan.
god slaying armor!
In just a split second.
Lin Yuan was entirely encased within a set of Battle Armor!
As the Battle Armor possessed him, the aura on Lin Yuan's body instantly surged!
An aura comparable to a Spirit King!
"Holy crap!!"
Standing in the back to provide support, Dugu Bo's eyes nearly popped out as he cursed again.
He pointed at the cool-looking armor on Lin Yuan that he had never seen before, his voice trembling: "What the hell is that?! A spirit tool?"
"What kind of spirit tool can make a Rank thirty kid's aura instantly soar to the Spirit King level?!"
Meanwhile, Dugu Yan, looking at the figure that resembled a silver god of war, had a continuous glow of wonder in her beautiful eyes.
She covered her small mouth, murmuring in her heart: "Is this the 'Battle Armor' Lin Yuan mentioned in his diary?"
"So it really exists!"
"And it's really so strong, so handsome!"
In the center of the battlefield.
Lin Yuan, clad in Battle Armor, faced the Golden-Eyed Blood Lion's claws that were capable of shattering rocks, and instead of retreating, he advanced!
The god slaying spear in his hand was also augmented by the god slaying armor, becoming even sharper!
"Clang—!"
The tip of the spear and the sharp claws collided fiercely!
