Chapter 84 The Unlucky Lion King
After Chen Lu and Yu Ming finished absorbing their soul rings, Zhang Lexuan and Huo Yuhao continued to search for suitable soul beasts for the other two boys from the outer academy on the outskirts of the mixed zone.
Their required spirit ring age was only under five thousand years, and their spirit beast types weren't particularly rare either; the outer areas of the mixed zone were more than enough. Therefore, in less than two days, everyone except Huo Yuhao and Wu Ming had achieved their goal.
Wu Ming's soul ring requirement is a fire-attribute soul beast with around 50,000 years of cultivation, while Huo Yuhao's requirement is an even rarer 10,000-year-old spirit-attribute soul beast. Clearly, these are beings that can only be encountered deep within the mixed zone.
Zhang Lexuan looked around at everyone and said, "The soul beasts that Wu Ming and Yu Hao need can only be found by continuing to explore deeper into the mixed zone. We'll go to the central part of the mixed zone first. A day later, regardless of whether we find a suitable option, I will ask Elder Xuan to take those of you who have already hunted soul rings back to the academy. From now on, please be very careful!"
Everyone nodded in greeting, and Zhang Lexuan said no more.
As time went by, the aura surrounding Huo Yuhao and his companions gradually became more dangerous. Where once only a few ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts occasionally passed by, now it was practically impossible to see any beings below ten thousand years old.
Huo Yuhao continued to explore the surrounding area for a suitable soul beast for him and Wu Ming.
Wu Ming was very clear about her choices. In fact, she could say that as long as the fire attribute was pure enough and the strength exceeded 50,000 to 60,000 years, Wu Ming was fine with it. No matter what kind of soul beast she chose for her seventh soul ring, the result would be the same: a True Martial Soul Body.
Therefore, as long as you meet the two conditions of having the fire attribute and being strong enough, that's enough.
However, it will be difficult for Huo Yuhao to find a spirit-attribute soul beast. After all, spirit-attribute soul beasts are extremely rare. If he can find one with the right attribute and age, he should be very grateful.
As for the choice of what type of soul skill to use, Huo Yuhao had absolutely no say in it.
"Roar!" A furious roar came from afar, and Zhang Lexuan immediately stopped and looked in the direction Huo Yuhao was probing.
That was a Flame Lion King! It was two meters tall and three meters long! Its dark red, fiery mane was particularly eye-catching!
Huo Yuhao immediately made a rough estimate: "It should have over 50,000 years of cultivation, and its fire attribute is extremely pure. What do you think of it, Senior Wu Ming?"
Huo Yuhao had just turned his head to look at Wu Ming when he saw that this senior from the inner court had already rushed forward impatiently.
Yes, no need to ask anymore, she's very satisfied.
Zhang Lexuan didn't make a move. Instead, she cautiously scanned her surroundings. Among them, only she and Wu Ming were strong enough to stand alone. Even though the others were all around the Soul Master level, they were still not enough in a place like the central part of the Star Dou Great Forest mixed zone.
After all, the strength of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast is equivalent to that of a five-ring soul king.
There are quite a few ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the central mixed zone. They can handle one together, but what if there are two?
So when Wu Ming rushed forward, Zhang Lexuan had to stay put to protect the group of junior students from the outer college. She didn't want to experience that day again, with bones and blood everywhere.
Of the Shrek Seven Devils from their generation, only he has survived.
The Flame Lion King was feasting. Its roar was because it had successfully harvested a feast. A ten-thousand-year-old fire-attribute spirit ape was now reduced to a pile of mangled flesh under its jaws.
With Huo Yuhao's mental detection assistance, Wu Ming instantly released the Golden Crow True Fire, and golden-red flames rose up in an instant.
With a delicate shout, as she charged forward, her right hand pointed to the sky, and among the six spirit rings that had already risen on her body, the purple fourth spirit ring suddenly shone brightly.
A ruby orb the size of a longan suddenly shot into the sky, rapidly growing larger, and then crashed down heavily towards the Burning Flame Lion King with the force of thunder.
The Lion King, who was still eating, stared blankly at the scene before him. Suddenly, he roared in fury and spat out a dark red ball of light, charging towards Wu Ming's sneak attack.
The golden-red and dark red flames collided instantly, and terrifying, scorching waves of fire immediately spread in all directions.
The surrounding ancient forest suffered terribly; one by one, they were set ablaze. Several beings that had already cultivated into soul beasts frantically waved their branches to extinguish the flames.
Wu Ming dared not be careless. Having failed to land her first Golden Crow True Fire Ring attack, she quickly retreated in an attempt to escape the range of the Burning Flame Lion King's attack.
But which of these ferocious, millennia-old soul beasts is stupid?
The Flame Lion King swiftly bypassed the wave of flames that had just been stirred up, then leaped into the air with a burst of power from its hind legs, its claws wreathed in dark red flames as it pounced on Wu Ming!
Wu Ming had already detected the Flame Lion King's movements under Huo Yuhao's detection. Her second soul ring lit up instantly, and with a flick of her right hand, a cluster of golden-red flames leaped out of her palm. In the next instant, dazzling golden-red flames were already burning around her.
Then the first spirit ring lit up.
Wu Ming raised her hands, aiming at the direction of the Flaming Lion King. A golden-red pillar of fire instantly shot out from her palms, aiming at the onrushing Flaming Lion King's abdomen and piercing straight through it.
The Flame Lion King's enormous beastly eyes widened in surprise. It quickly spat out the dark red fireball it had just unleashed onto the ground, using the recoil from the fire to maneuver its massive body in an attempt to dodge the attack.
Just then, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up slightly, and he activated his mental interference!
The sudden mental attack caused the Flame Lion King's movements to change instantly, and Wu Ming's golden-red fire pillar struck its side!
"boom!"
The scorching flames instantly burned off all the brownish-yellow fur on the Flame Lion King's belly. However, because the lion king had strong fire resistance, Wu Ming's attack only burned the skin and flesh of the Flame Lion King's belly, and was not enough to seriously injure it.
The Flame Lion King, now writhing in ferocity due to its abdominal injury, fell to the ground and went completely mad.
Dark red flames spread along its mane and over its entire body. Its already savage and domineering aura instantly rose to a new level, and its soul power also fluctuated violently. The terrifying dark red flames rose into the air, giving people the feeling that it came from hell!
Everyone knew that the Flame Lion King was going to fight to the death!
Just then, Zhang Lexuan, who had been silently gathering power under the cover of Huo Yuhao's second soul skill simulation, made her move!
The first three spirit rings lit up in turn, and the silver moon in the sky shot towards the limbs of the Burning Flame Lion King like a spirit guide ray!
Contra's terrifying power suddenly erupted, launching a surprise attack. The unlucky Lion King, who hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation, was instantly pinned to the spot, unable to move at all. His planned desperate attack was forced to stop in an instant due to Zhang Lexuan's attack.
Wu Ming pouted; she had originally wanted to practice a little longer.
But seeing Zhang Lexuan's stern gaze, Wu Ming put away her playful thoughts. After all, the Star Dou Great Forest was not a good place, and she should try to stay as little as possible!
