Chapter 102 Crimson-Striped Dark Gold Bear
Chapter 103 Crimson-Striped Dark Gold Bear
The red bear began to fight back, and the Earth King's initial advantage vanished. As time went on, it might be doomed.
The Earth King decided to go all out and used its ultimate move, Lava Crash, unleashing its full power in the hopes that it could take down the Red Bear.
Roar--
A massive eruption of magma erupted from the ground, engulfing the red bear. The red bear let out a painful roar, which then grew fainter and fainter until it disappeared.
The king of the earth swayed precariously, crawling on the ground. It was too weak to move, and its life was coming to an end. All that remained was to await death.
"Alas, all soul beasts are so pure. King of the Earth, I respect you, so I will send you on your way. Afterwards, I will bury your body together with that Pink Lady."
Li Luochen had already flown down and was looking at the King of Earth with an expressionless face.
The Earth King was already a 40,000-year-old soul beast at this time. Soul beasts of 10,000 years old can have intelligence. This Earth King was a variant with high intelligence, and it understood Li Luochen's meaning.
The King of Earth took one last look at the Pink Lady before closing his eyes and awaiting death.
Li Luochen then directly smashed the Earth King's head, and a pitch-black soul ring appeared, indicating that the Earth King was gone.
Li Luochen moved the Pink Lady directly to the Earth King's side and used the Panlong Staff to dig a large pit in the ground. However, before that, Li Luochen had his usual habit of checking whether the two soul beasts had soul bones, after all, they were filled with deep resentment.
When exploring the King of the Earth, Li Luochen noticed that a part of its leg was different. He used his hand as a knife to cut it off, peeled off the shell and flesh, and found a crimson soul bone, a left leg bone, which was exactly 40,000 years old.
This was an unexpected surprise. After examining the Pink Lady, Li Luochen looked at her again and found a soul bone in her leg as well. It was also a leg soul bone, but from her right leg.
"Thank you for your souls. As agreed, I will bury you together."
Li Luochen pushed the two soul beasts directly into the pit, then broke the entrance, burying the pit completely so that the corpses of the two scorpions would not be discovered.
After finishing all that, Li Luochen was about to take Oscar to find new soul beasts when he was suddenly stopped by a faint roar.
Li Luochen and Oscar looked toward the source of the sound at the same time, where a charred bear crawled out of the lava.
"Is its vitality really that strong? Oscar, how about we try it out as the fourth spirit ring? This bear is only eight meters tall now, its previous sudden increase in size might be its trump card."
Similar to the berserk ability of the Gale Wolf, this bear is eight meters tall and should be around eight thousand years old. It was able to fight and kill two ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. Although it is now exhausted, it remains very tenacious.
Li Luochen analyzed the bear. He guessed that it should be a branch of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, otherwise it wouldn't make sense. But its whole body was red, so it didn't look like a Dark Gold Bear. It was either a hybrid of a Dark Gold Bear and other bear species.
"Brother Chen, I've made up my mind. I'm taking this bear. Otherwise, I don't know how long we'll have to search for it."
Oscar agreed without hesitation. This bear had defeated two ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts; just thinking about it made him seem impressive, and his soul skills must be incredibly powerful.
"Alright, I'll use the head soul bone's skill to stun it in a bit. You take the opportunity to kill it. See that piece of flesh on its neck? You can already see its trachea there. I'll throw you over there in a bit, and you can use my power to kill it in one fell swoop."
Li Luochen analyzed that he was afraid Oscar wouldn't be able to kill the bear in one blow, and he was also afraid that he would lose control and kill the bear directly. So he simply used his own strength to throw Oscar out, and Oscar used his strength to kill the bear.
Oscar was now standing on Li Luochen's hands, awaiting his command. "Oscar, get ready! Three, two, one! Go!"
Li Luochen threw Oscar directly at him. Red Bear saw Oscar and was just about to retaliate when he was struck by a burst of blue light. A blue light entered his brain, and he immediately crashed.
The blue light was Li Luochen's head soul bone skill, Demon-Slaying Divine Light.
Oscar had already unleashed his external spirit bone, the White Jade Arm Sword, and with the help of Li Luochen's power, he quickly sealed the red bear's mouth. The red bear fell straight down, spurting a large amount of blood from its neck, but no spirit ring appeared.
This showed that it was still alive and incredibly resilient. Seeing this, Oscar pressed his advantage and plunged his sword into the red bear's brain. Only when a deep purple spirit ring appeared did the bear finally die.
"Absorb it, I will protect you."
Li Luochen gave the order, and Oscar immediately sat down cross-legged, drawing the spirit ring into his body. As soon as it entered, Oscar's body trembled violently, as if it was about to burst, but it remained at a critical point, just a little short of exploding.
However, he had not been able to break through that point. Li Luochen had been watching closely. Oscar had been training his body since he was six years old and had been taking whale glue. Li Luochen had once given him a 70,000-year-old whale glue, which greatly improved his physical fitness.
If it weren't for the fact that his and Ma Hongjun's spiritual power had always been mediocre, Li Luochen would have wanted to give them their fourth spirit rings for ten thousand years. It's a pity they were just a little short, but a fourth spirit ring for eight or nine thousand years isn't bad either.
Shao Xin's fifth spirit ring is only eight thousand years old, while Oscar is much stronger. Under Li Luochen's arrangement, after Oscar absorbs this spirit ring, his spirit power should be at the peak of level forty-one, since a thousand-year spirit ring has limited energy.
Oscar is currently fourteen years old, and the Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition will begin in two years. In those two years, Oscar should be able to reach around level 47 or 48. The Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid can help him cultivate smoothly up to level 70.
Moreover, Oscar can absorb the right leg bone of the Pink Lady, which can increase his speed. The soul bone skill should be related to excitement, which is quite suitable for him.
As for the Earth King's left leg bone, give it to Ma Hongjun. This little brother hasn't had a soul bone yet, and he's currently level 39. It'll be perfect to help him break through to level 40. Then we can take him to visit the Undying Volcano in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Time passed second by second, and Oscar's swollen body gradually shrank until it returned to normal. The deep purple spirit ring slowly floated around Oscar, indicating that the spirit ring was almost fully absorbed.
Fifteen minutes later, Oscar opened his eyes and felt the changes in his body; his soul power had reached level forty-one.
"How is it? What kind of spirit beast is this? What are its spirit skills like?"
Li Luochen asked Oscar, "The spirit ring is not only the energy of a spirit beast, but it can also reveal general information about the spirit beast."
"This is a Crimson-Striped Dark Gold Bear, a variant of the Soul Beast. Its characteristic is berserk mode. It's my fourth Soul Skill, Explosive Berserk Pink Sausage. It has the berserk trait, and after consumption, one remains in a berserk state for ten minutes."
Berserk mode does not affect emotions, but increases all attributes by 15%, which means it can reach 115% of its peak combat power. It will not be weakened after the berserk mode ends, which is why this bear was able to withstand the magma-splitting earthquake.
The biggest drawback is that it consumes a lot of soul power; with my current soul power, I can only make four. Furthermore, it can only be consumed once per hour, a maximum of three times a day, and can be stored for a month.
Oscar explained the fourth soul skill, and Li Luochen was quite surprised. It turned out that he was a hybrid of the Dark Gold Bear. His soul skill was abnormal. The most amazing thing was that there were no side effects. He would not be weakened due to berserk mode, which was outrageous.
Not enough soul power right now? That's a minor issue. You'll have enough soul power later. This Berserker Intestine is key to future life-or-death battles. When the battle reaches its climax, consuming one will increase your chances of winning.
No matter how you look at it, this is a divine skill. Even a Title Douluo-level expert can use it with confidence. Although the improvement may not be huge, it will still be some kind of improvement.
