Yan's gaze was fixed on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, a greedy glint in his eyes. He immediately said to Ling Yuan Douluo, "Ninth Elder, this soul beast's age is just right for Nana to make her fourth soul ring. Moreover, its appearance is peculiar, so it must be a rare species. Killing it might yield a soul bone!"
Upon hearing this, Spirit Iris Douluo's iris-like eyes instantly fell upon the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and his icy soul power quietly locked onto it. The little auspicious beast trembled all over, its golden fur standing on end. Sensing the deadly malice, it quickly shrank behind Lin Chen.
"Indeed excellent." Spirit Kite Douluo spoke calmly, flames already gathering at his fingertips. "The age is compatible, and it's a different species; it's worth taking action against."
Before she could finish speaking, she was about to make her move!
"No!"
Lin Chen's expression changed drastically. He flashed and instantly hugged the Three-Eyed Golden Lion into his arms. His soul power burst forth, and he suddenly flashed to the side, avoiding the aura lock of the Spirit Kite Douluo.
He looked up at Spirit Iris Douluo, his tone grave: "Your Majesty, you must not touch it! Otherwise, let alone the four of you, even if ten more Title Douluos came, they wouldn't be able to leave this Star Dou Great Forest!"
Lingyuan Douluo paused, his brows furrowing: "Oh? Just a thousand-year-old rare species, what makes you say that?"
Hu Liena and Xie Yue also looked puzzled, clearly not understanding why Lin Chen was so nervous.
The three-eyed golden lion in Lin Chen's arms seemed to sense protection, nuzzling its little head against his chest before raising its head. The third vertical eye on its forehead opened slightly, and a faint golden light spread out, along with an auspicious pressure emanating from the pinnacle of all beasts.
Lin Chen said in a deep voice, "Do you know who it is? This is the Emperor Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the beast of destiny of the Star Dou Great Forest! It is revered by all beasts, and the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts take turns guarding it! If you harm it in the slightest, all the soul beasts in the entire Star Dou will regard you as mortal enemies, and the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts will surely come out in full force to tear you to pieces!"
Upon hearing the words "Ten Ferocious Beasts," Lingyuan Douluo and the Golden Generation were first taken aback, then burst into laughter.
Yan laughed so hard he almost fell over, pointing at Lin Chen and mocking, "Kid, you've been reading too many storybooks, haven't you? The Ten Ferocious Beasts are just something storytellers made up to fool kids. What era are we living in? You're still using that to scare people!"
Although Hu Liena did not laugh out loud, a hint of disdain curled at the corner of her mouth, clearly indicating that she also regarded Lin Chen's words as nonsense.
Lingyuan Douluo's smile vanished, his eyes filled with disdain: "You're just putting on a show! I think you just want to monopolize this soul beast! Since that's the case, then spar with my junior. If you can win, we won't fight over this soul beast!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen laughed in anger.
So all those well-intentioned reminders were completely ignored? These people really won't learn their lesson until they're faced with the truth!
He glanced down at the three-eyed golden lion curled up in his arms, trembling, and thought to himself: If it weren't for the fact that this little guy is related to the fate of the stars and has a deep connection with Xiao Wu, he wouldn't bother with this.
"Since you're all so eager to spar, who's going first?" Lin Chen asked casually, holding the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, as if he were talking about something trivial.
Yan immediately stepped forward, his fiery soul power surging slightly around him, his face full of arrogance and disdain: "Kid, I'll play with you first! I won't even need to use my soul skills to deal with a support-type soul master like you!"
Before he finished speaking, Yan charged forward, accompanied by a scorching gust of wind, and threw a punch straight at Lin Chen's face! In his view, support-type soul masters were weak and could be easily defeated with just physical strength.
A cold glint flashed in Lin Chen's eyes. He neither dodged nor avoided the attack, and a layer of pale golden light suddenly shone around his body—the Vajra Indestructible Body was instantly activated!
"Bang!"
Yan's heavy fist slammed into Lin Chen's chest, but it felt like hitting a piece of ancient iron, causing his fist to ache and his bones to crack.
"What?!" Yan was shocked and hadn't even reacted when Lin Chen casually pushed him, and an incomparably powerful force erupted, directly causing him to stagger backward and fall several meters away.
Yan scrambled to his feet, his face flushed red, both shocked and furious: "I didn't expect that you, a support-type Soul Master, would have some physical strength!"
He dared not be careless any longer, and his second spirit ring suddenly shone brightly: "Second Spirit Skill - Granite Rock!"
The thick rock soul power instantly condensed, transforming into a huge rock shield. At the same time, countless stone spikes shot out from the ground, piercing towards Lin Chen with fierce attacks!
"Too slow."
Lin Chen spoke softly, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in his arms curiously poked its little head out. His Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul surged in his palm, his second spirit ring glowed with black light, and a Blue Silver Overlord Spear, crackling with purple lightning, suddenly materialized!
"Second Soul Skill - Blue Silver Overlord Spear!"
The spear pierced the air with a sharp, tearing sound, instantly shattering the granite shield. The extreme lightning power contained in the spear tip shattered the rock in an instant! With undiminished momentum, the spear shaft swept horizontally, striking Yan precisely in the chest.
"Bang!"
Yan was struck as if by a heavy hammer, and his whole body flew backward, crashing heavily into the tree trunk. He almost spat out a mouthful of blood, and his soul power was in chaos, so he could no longer stand up.
In just two moves, Yan, a member of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, was completely defeated!
Lin Chen holstered his gun and stood there, his gaze sweeping over Hu Liena and Xie Yue, whose faces were deathly pale. He said indifferently, "You'd better not waste your time. Come at me all three at once, so I don't have to take care of you one by one."
Yan, having lost face in front of the goddess, was furious, his eyes turning bloodshot. He struggled to his feet and roared, "No need! I can handle a support-type Soul Master like you all by myself!"
Yan tried to struggle and make a move to save face in front of Hu Liena, but was interrupted by Hu Liena's cold voice: "Since you want the three of us to join forces, then so be it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Liena and Xie Yue stepped forward simultaneously, forming a triangle around Lin Chen. Their soul power erupted, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely tense. Yan opened his mouth, but ultimately suppressed the urge to fight alone, restrained by Hu Liena's gaze.
Seeing this, Lin Chen smiled coldly and said softly, "You do have some guts, but it's a pity... you didn't use your Martial Soul Fusion Technique immediately. That's your biggest mistake."
Before he finished speaking, the third black spirit ring beneath Lin Chen's feet suddenly erupted with a dazzling purple-gold light!
"Third Soul Skill - Blue Silver Netherworld Thunder Prison!"
boom--!
Centered on Lin Chen, the earth trembled violently! Countless Blue Silver Emperor Grasses containing the ultimate power of lightning burst forth from the ground. The grass leaves were as tough as steel, and their surfaces were wrapped with leaping lightning. They intertwined and entangled at a speed visible to the naked eye, instantly forming an impenetrable lightning prison!
The Blue Silver Grass vines were incredibly thick, coiling like a dragon, with each blade of grass crackling with deadly arcs of electricity. Inside the prison, purple-gold lightning raged and crackled, filling the air with a terrifyingly violent lightning force.
Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan's expressions changed drastically. They tried to dodge, but found that they were blocked by Blue Silver Thunder Vine from all sides!
"Not good!" Xie Yue exclaimed, his moon blade instantly unsheathed, frantically slashing at the lightning vines in front of him. However, when the blade landed on the vines, it only sparked a burst of sparks. Not only did it fail to cut them, but it was also backfired by the power of the lightning, causing his arm to go numb.
Yan roared and unleashed his fiery soul power, sending out a raging inferno that tried to burn the lightning vines. However, the extreme lightning on the vines instantly suppressed the flames, which were as weak as fireflies in the face of the lightning and could not get close at all.
Hu Liena used her fox tail charm to try and interfere with Lin Chen with her mental power, but the lightning power within the Thunder Prison formed a natural mental barrier. As soon as her charm came into contact with it, it was shattered by the lightning, and instead made her dizzy.
The three struggled frantically within the Thunder Prison, but were firmly bound by the ever-tightening Blue Silver Thunder Vines. The purple-gold lightning on the vines surged into their bodies through their limbs, numbing their soul power and leaving them stiff and unable to move. Yan's flames went out, Xie Yue's moon blade fell, and Hu Liena's fox tail lost its luster. The three were deathly pale, their eyes filled with despair and fear.
Only then did they realize that the seemingly ordinary Blue Silver Grass Soul Master in front of them was not a weak support-type user at all, but a terrifyingly powerful expert who was hiding his true strength!
Ling Yuan Douluo, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines, paled drastically and could no longer remain calm. Looking at the Golden Generation members utterly powerless within the Thunder Prison, a storm raged within her. These were the future pillars of the Spirit Hall, nurtured with all their resources. If anything were to happen to them here, she would be condemned to death!
"Boy! Stop! That's enough! We admit defeat!" Ling Yuan Douluo could no longer care about saving face and shouted sharply, his tone filled with undisguised urgency and fear.
The Blue Silver Senluo Thunder Prison slowly dissipated, and the thunder vines retreated into the ground, leaving only the three members of the Golden Generation, disheveled and collapsed on the ground. Lin Chen stood with his hands behind his back, purple-gold lightning flowing at his fingertips, his gaze sweeping indifferently over Ling Yuan Douluo: "If you had admitted defeat earlier, why have suffered this physical pain?"
Looking at the composed Lin Chen, Ling Yuan Douluo's eyes were filled with complex emotions, and her tone carried a hint of helplessness: "Little guy, you're not that old, but you've got a lot of tricks up your sleeve. You clearly have the strength of a top-tier battle spirit master, but you insist on calling yourself a support-type spirit master. This isn't support; it's clearly a monster of the offensive type!"
Lin Chen chuckled softly, the Blue Silver Grass swaying gently at his fingertips, his first soul ring shimmering, and the life absorption quietly activated.
Gentle life energy overflowed from the Blue Silver Grass, but instead of flowing into itself, it transformed into strands of light that drifted toward the Golden Generation members who were paralyzed on the ground, repairing their injuries and disordered soul power.
"Isn't the essence of support to take down the enemies and keep your own people safe?" he said jokingly. "I'm the most practical support."
Having just recovered, Yan was so angry upon hearing this that he almost vomited blood again. He gritted his teeth and said, "You call this support? What kind of support binds the opponent in a lightning prison and electrocutes them!"
Hu Liena and Xie Yue were also ashen-faced, but they were powerless to refute it. After all, the terrifying lightning prison they had just experienced still left them with lingering fear.
Lin Chen ignored the three people's complaints, bent down to pick up the three-eyed golden lion that was docilely rubbing against his arm, and turned to leave: "Senior, since the sparring has been decided, this soul beast is mine, so I will take my leave."
"stop!"
Lingyuan Douluo flashed and stood in front of Lin Chen, her iris eyes cold: "Boy, you think you can just leave after injuring the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall and the Golden Generation? You're really showing no respect for the Spirit Hall."
"So, what does Senior want?" Lin Chen asked, holding the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. His tone was calm and even, but a cold glint had already appeared in his eyes.
Ling Yuan Douluo's eyes flashed with sternness, and the aura of a Title Douluo around her suddenly tightened: "Come back to the Spirit Hall with me and serve His Holiness the Pope. If you do so, today's matter can be forgiven."
"What if the junior refuses?" Lin Chen chuckled, his tone full of disdain.
You can give it a try!
With a roar, Spirit Kite Douluo instantly manifested his martial soul—a giant spirit kite engulfed in crimson-gold flames. As its wings spread, flames swept in all directions, and scorching wind blades swirled around it. The pressure of a Title Douluo pressed down on Lin Chen like Mount Tai.
"Okay, then I'll give it a try."
Lin Chen's eyes flashed with purple lightning, and he held nothing back as the Thunder God bloodline was activated!
In an instant, dazzling purple-gold lightning erupted from his body, like a thousand-foot bolt of lightning piercing the sky. All the meridians in his body surfaced, each one like a coiling, surging purple-gold lightning dragon, meandering beneath his skin, its light dazzling. His hair stood on end, whipped about by the lightning, and his eyes transformed into a deep purple-gold, his pupils flashing with lightning as if containing an entire lightning domain. The violent aura of extreme lightning swept across the surroundings, instantly scorching the grass and trees on the ground, tearing the air apart with ear-piercing crackling sounds.
The three-eyed golden lion in his arms sensed the immense power of lightning. Instead of being afraid, it excitedly rubbed against Lin Chen's chest, its golden eyes filled with admiration.
Ling Yuan Douluo's pupils shrank sharply, and the arrogance on his face instantly turned into disbelief and shock!
She stared intently at Lin Chen, whose body was enveloped in purple-gold lightning, and her heart sank. Although she couldn't discern the origin of his bloodline, she could clearly sense that the young man's aura was skyrocketing, soaring from his original Soul Venerable realm all the way to the Soul King level!
You must know that she had just fought a fierce battle with Super Douluo Crimson King, and her soul power was more than half exhausted. Her condition was already poor at the moment, and she felt a sense of unease as she faced this sudden and terrifying lightning power.
"What...what kind of power is this?!" Spirit Kite Douluo exclaimed in shock, his Flaming Spirit Kite Martial Soul trembling slightly from the extreme power of the lightning.
Lin Chen stood with his hands behind his back, purple-gold lightning swirling around him. His tone was indifferent yet carried an overbearing arrogance: "Senior, do you still think I have to go back to the Spirit Hall with you?"
