At this moment, Yang Xiong carefully observed his body. After absorbing this ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, his soul power had reached a full forty-fifth level. Of course, this included a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, plus a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone.
After absorbing the Soul Ring of this Ancient Dragon Elephant, he also gained a good soul skill called Dragon Elephant Adamantine Body.
After using this soul skill, his muscles would swell, his entire body's skin and bones would harden, and his body would possess the strength of an Ancient Dragon Elephant. Strength and attack power would increase by two hundred percent, defense would increase by two hundred percent, and the body's pressure resistance would increase by two hundred percent. It was a top-grade self-buffing soul skill.
Yang Xiong was also pleasantly surprised to see this soul skill. He understood soul skills that normally increased strength and defense, but this was the first time he had seen a soul skill that increased his body's pressure resistance. Moreover, it seemed very suitable for his Body Martial Soul, truly worthy of coming from a legendary soul beast.
Based on his current soul power, Yang Xiong was confident that he could reach level fifty within one to two years, which would make his next plan even more convenient.
After confirming his soul skills, Yang Xiong followed Lin Gong to dissect the body of the Ancient Dragon Elephant. Unfortunately, no Soul Bone appeared.
Just as the two were preparing to leave, Yang Xiong suddenly spoke, "Teacher Lin, didn't those people from the Elephant Armor Sect come to provoke us? Huyan Zhen shouldn't be someone who gives up so easily, right?"
Lin Gong snorted coldly, "Isn't it just a Huyan Zhen? Why are you afraid of him? However, people from the Elephant Armor Sect did come once, just two other Soul Saints, and I scared them away."
Yang Xiong was a little strange, "Does the Elephant Armor Sect have too many Soul Saints? That's already four Soul Saints. It seems their soul beast hunting operation this time is not simple. I wonder what level of soul beast they are looking for."
Lin Gong smiled, "Let them be. The Elephant Armor Sect is just a bunch of big fools. Although their strength and defense are outstanding, unfortunately, their brains aren't very developed. They just rely on their thick skin and flesh. Looking at Huyan Zhen, I'm afraid he won't be able to break through to Titled Douluo in his lifetime."
Yang Xiong quickly said, "It is said that the Elephant Armor Sect has a close relationship with the Spirit Hall. Perhaps the Spirit Hall will find a way to help Huyan Zhen break through to Titled Douluo. At that time, they might become enemies of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. You should also know that old man Huyan Zhen has always been at odds with our Sect Leader."
Lin Gong was puzzled, "Little Xiong, do you want to go and see what Huyan Zhen and the others are doing?"
Yang Xiong smiled, "You don't need to guess. They must be here to hunt for Soul Rings. However, sending out so many experts at once means it's at least a seventh or even eighth Soul Ring. It's always good to take a look. Maybe we can take the opportunity to steal a chicken."
Lin Gong glanced at Yang Xiong, "Don't forget, you are just a mere Soul Ancestor now. In the eyes of those true experts, killing you is like crushing an ant."
Yang Xiong said, "We'll just take a look from afar. Maybe we can gain something else? Besides, Teacher Lin, aren't you a plant-type Martial Soul? Your observation ability in the Star Dou Great Forest should be far superior to that group of big fools from the Elephant Armor Sect."
Although Lin Gong was a little hesitant, after hearing Yang Xiong say this, he always felt that this kid Yang Xiong seemed to be up to something bad. However, he finally agreed.
However, the two did not leave the area but hid to the side, waiting for something. As expected, after a while, another Soul Saint from the Elephant Armor Sect came here to investigate. It seemed they had some big move planned and didn't want Lin Gong, a Soul Douluo, to interfere.
Yang Xiong and Lin Gong exchanged glances and instantly understood that the Elephant Armor Sect's operation this time was definitely not simple. Five Soul Saints had already appeared.
The two followed this Soul Saint from a distance and actually began to gradually move towards the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Indeed, after following these two for a full two hours, they were also surprised.
It must be said that plant-type Martial Souls are indeed very good in the Soul Beast Forest. Not only is their perception greatly enhanced, but they also have stronger concealment effects. No wonder Tang San was always in his element in the Soul Beast Forest.
The two were now hiding very cautiously, looking into the distance. They saw that the group from the Elephant Armor Sect was very serious. Huyan Zhen had indeed personally come to the Star Dou Great Forest, accompanied by more than a dozen burly men. Just looking at them from afar made one's scalp tingle. In this situation, it was likely that most of the top experts from the Elephant Armor Sect had come to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Especially since everyone was extremely solemn, surrounding a huge soul beast. One of them seemed to be preparing to absorb a Soul Ring. This was a sixty-thousand-year Earth Demon Bear, which looked like at least an eighth Soul Ring.
Yang Xiong and Lin Gong quietly retreated. Even Lin Gong looked unusually serious, "Little Xiong, it seems the Elephant Armor Sect is about to gain another Soul Douluo. There were already three Soul Douluos at the scene, plus a full nine Soul Saints. That's almost half of their high-level personnel."
Yang Xiong smiled, "Teacher Lin, if these people from the Elephant Armor Sect are wiped out, even if they are backed by the Spirit Hall, will they still dare to offend our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the future?"
Lin Gong couldn't help but say, "Little Xiong, are you overestimating my strength a bit? If we are discovered by the Elephant Armor Sect, they might even come to surround and attack us. I don't mind, but at that time, you might even have trouble escaping."
Yang Xiong said, "We don't need to make a move. This is the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. Other things are fine, but there are a lot of top-level soul beasts here. If we attract two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, how many of these people from the Elephant Armor Sect do you think can survive?"
Lin Gong was full of doubt, "Where are there so many hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in this world? Besides, they have three Soul Douluos. Even against ordinary top-level soul beasts, they can barely contend."
Yang Xiong's face suddenly became unusually cold, "If I hadn't seen the Elephant Armor Sect in this situation, perhaps I could have ignored it. Now that I have discovered this opportunity, at least half of these people from the Elephant Armor Sect must die or be injured this time, otherwise, our trip would be in vain."
At this moment, Yang Xiong thought of the battle that destroyed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the original work. Huyan Zhen was at the forefront. The four lower sects had launched a thousand Soul Masters to attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. It was one thing for him not to seek trouble with Huyan Zhen, but how could he miss an opportunity like this?
At this moment, Yang Xiong and Lin Gong were in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. Surrounded by towering trees, it was very dark with extremely low visibility. The air, in particular, contained a very rich energy, making it an absolute treasure trove for cultivation.
Yang Xiong thought carefully, "Teacher Lin, I saw that quasi-Soul Douluo from the Elephant Armor Sect absorbing a sixty-thousand-year Soul Ring just now. That should take at least three days, right?"
Lin Gong nodded, "About that. The Earth Demon Bear is a very good power-type Soul Beast, quite compatible with the Elephant Armor Sect's Martial Soul. It takes at least three to five days to absorb this kind of Soul Beast. I think that person just started absorbing."
Yang Xiong's heart hardened, "Teacher Lin, let's go take a look at the Life Lake. Perhaps we can encounter some familiar Soul Beasts there, and then we won't need to take action ourselves."
Lin Gong's face darkened, "Do you have any acquaintances among the Soul Beasts?"
Yang Xiong smiled, "Teacher Lin, have you forgotten? I have a classmate who is a hundred-thousand-year transformed Soul Beast. Perhaps we can run into her."
Hearing this, Lin Gong couldn't help but sigh, "Then I'll play along with you. I estimate that my old bones will be ruined by you sooner or later."
As expected, the two walked into the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest with extreme caution. This place truly lived up to its reputation as a Life Forbidden Zone. There were terrifying Soul Beasts everywhere, making even Yang Xiong feel a chill, and even Lin Gong looked a bit shaky.
After walking for more than thirty kilometers along the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, the two finally arrived at a large lake.
A very rich life aura permeated the area, even forming mist, making visibility extremely low. Even Lin Gong didn't dare to approach the lake water, not knowing what terrifying Soul Beasts might appear inside.
Yang Xiong smiled and looked at Lin Gong, "Teacher Lin, it's almost time for you to show off."
A rare hint of resentment appeared on the face of the old man, Lin Gong. He always felt that Yang Xiong had ill intentions and was practically trying to get him killed.
However, the two had already planned it out. As expected, Lin Gong's expression became extremely serious. He directly revealed his two yellow, three purple, and three black Soul Rings, and the aura of a peak Soul Douluo instantly spread out, like a provocation.
In reality, a peak Soul Douluo was nothing in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. This place was full of peak Soul Beasts. For ordinary humans to release their Martial Soul and pressure here was probably akin to seeking death. This was one of the reasons for the resentful expression on Lin Gong's face.
Indeed, as Lin Gong released his Martial Soul and pressure, countless roars of beasts immediately came from afar. One moment there was a terrifying tiger roar, and the next moment there was a huge dragon roar. Clearly, there were many peak Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, especially since the core area was only a few dozen kilometers wide.
However, Yang Xiong's pressure seemed to be directed at something specific, mainly towards the Life Lake. Only here was what Yang Xiong was looking for.
As Lin Gong released his pressure, the ground seemed to start vibrating slightly. It was likely that some ferocious Soul Beasts were provoked and wanted to teach Lin Gong a lesson.
But at this moment, a dark shadow seemed to flash across the lake surface, and the lake water gradually began to boil. A huge bull's head gradually emerged from the center of the lake.
This bull's head was enormous, with a diameter of over four meters just for the head. It had two exceptionally large bull horns on its head, and its body was actually a giant python tens of meters long. The snake's body was as thick as a water vat, and its eyes were like two huge lanterns. Especially, its entire body emitted an extremely terrifying energy, like thunder.
At this moment, even though Yang Xiong was standing behind Lin Gong, he felt as if his entire body was frozen, and his Soul Power was suppressed throughout his body, similar to how an ordinary person would feel encountering a peak expert. This pressure was probably much stronger than that of the Sword Douluo.
As for Lin Gong, his entire face was a bit dark at this moment. Releasing his pressure had actually attracted such a big guy. If this Sky Blue Bull Python in front of him really attacked him, he might not even be able to escape.
