Douluo: From Rusted Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 13: Blood Eagle

"What? A second thousand-year soul ring? You're really too crazy. Do you know the essential difference between a hundred-year soul ring and a thousand-year soul ring?"

Although Dean Shui had already expected Ji Wuming to ask for the second ring of the millennium, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he actually said the specific year.

Up to now, no one in the mainland's soul masters has ever hunted a thousand-year-old soul beast as a second soul ring.

"I know that the Millennium Soul Ring is a qualitative leap. The energy contained within it far exceeds that of the Hundred-Year Soul Ring. Over the years, I have consumed soul beast meat and used water pressure to strengthen my body in order to better withstand the powerful energy brought by the Millennium Soul Ring."

Ji Wuming did not tell the specific effects of whale glue, but his eyes became extremely firm and he continued,

"Dean, I believe in my theory of physical constitution. Only by breaking through the limits of my body's endurance can I, a soul master with innate third-level soul power, become the best in the world in the future."

Dean Shui looked at Ji Wuming, who was extremely persistent, and said, "Okay, what kind of soul beast do you want to obtain?"

"It's the Fierce Eagle that's undergoing the Tribulation. Even if the age limit is a hundred or two hundred years shorter, it doesn't matter."

Dean Shui nodded silently. Ji Wuming's vision in choosing soul beasts was very good, but he still said with a little worry,
"The Tribulation Eagle is quite suitable for you, but isn't the year you chose a bit high?"

Although according to the physical theory proposed by Ji Wuming, the outstanding student in front of him, this age is still a bit high, almost twice the second soul ring of an ordinary soul master.

"Don't worry, Dean. The 1600-year spirit ring age is within my reasonable calculation range. There won't be any major problems."

"That's good. However, Tribulation Eagles usually only appear in areas with thunderstorms. If we go to an area with constant thunderstorms, where there are countless ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, we will be courting death. So we can only try our luck in other areas of the sea. If there is a thunderstorm, we may encounter a few more."

Dean Shui showed a bit of worry on his face, and Ji Wuming also knew that it was quite difficult. Now he had to find a flying thunder attribute soul ring, and the chance of encountering it would inevitably be greatly reduced.

"Dean, it's okay. I can wait."

"Okay, let's leave now."

After handing over some of the college's work to Director Lu and several other teachers, Dean Shui took Ji Wuming out to sea to find suitable weather for thunder and lightning.

…………

After nearly a month of searching and waiting, the two successfully waited for a thunderstorm at the junction of shallow sea and deep sea. The fishing boat did not dare to enter the thunderstorm area and could only leave them there.
"I hope this medium-sized thunderstorm can attract some tribulation-crossing ferocious eagles!"

Dean Shui activated his third soul skill and flew with Ji Wuming. As they went deeper into the center of the thunderstorm, more and more charred fish carcasses floated on the sea surface. From time to time, the corpses of the fierce eagles that had survived the tribulation fell.
"Aren't Tribulation Eagles usually group-type soul beasts? How could so many of them die at once? Could it be that the thunderstorm was too strong?"

Just as Dean Shui had just spoken, thunder roared in the thunderclouds thousands of meters high in the sky. An eagle with purple arcs wrapped around its body and blood-red eyes appeared in the center of the thunderstorm. Dean Shui was delighted.
"The Tribulation Eagle is surrounded by purple lightning. It seems to have reached the level of a thousand-year-old soul beast."

The age of the soul ring of the Tribulation Eagle is easy to distinguish. The yellow arc corresponds to a hundred years, the purple arc corresponds to a thousand years, and so on. Its size corresponds to the specific year. It will increase by one meter every 200 years. When it reaches the thousand-year mark, the size of the soul beast will shrink to five meters, and a feather will grow on its head.
As for the ten thousand year old ferocious eagle that has survived the tribulation, it will be turned into ashes by the thunder and lightning power contained in its body. Therefore, there are very few ten thousand year old ferocious eagles that have survived the tribulation on the entire continent.

At this moment, the fierce eagle in the sky sensed the presence of the two humans, and flew down from the sky, ready to kill Ji Wuming and the others.

As the Tribulation Eagle got closer and closer to them, its full appearance was finally revealed. Dean Shui's face tightened and his expression became even more serious.

"No, this isn't the Tribulation Eagle, it's the Tribulation Blood Eagle. It's the one that killed all the Tribulation Eagles. It's over eight meters long and is estimated to be between 1600 and 1700 years old. It's too old, so we should try a different one."

"Blood Eagle!" Ji Wuming was extremely happy about this. The Blood Eagle was violent and bloodthirsty. Only one Blood Eagle was allowed to exist in a thunderstorm. No wonder there were so many fish and the corpse of the Blood Eagle floating on the water.

Moreover, its killing attribute has allowed it to break through the limitations of the tribulation eagle. If it can become a ten thousand year soul beast, its killing power will be no less than that of the evil killer whale group.

"Dean Shui, there's no better choice, so I'll choose this."

"What? This..."

Before Dean Shui could continue to ask, a loud eagle cry made them even more alert. Countless feathers with purple arcs suddenly attacked them.

"Second soul skill, Ice Feather!"

Countless ice crystal feathers shot out from Dean Shui's back, pointing directly at the swooping Blood Eagle.
At this time, the Blood Eagle spread its wings, and the purple arcs around it became more violent. Countless eagle feathers shot out towards the ice crystal feathers. The two feathers collided with each other with great power.

The Blood Eagle that had survived the tribulation not only did not flee, but instead became even more excited. It reacted quickly by slowing down its dive speed, and the purple currents around its body gathered in its beak.

"The first soul skill, freezing!"

Dean Shui, who had already flown high into the sky, quickly used his first soul skill to freeze the Blood Eagle before it could unleash its strongest skill. It then fell from the sky.
As the most domineering thunder attribute soul beast, how could it be resisted by a mere control-type soul skill? As the purple light of the ice became stronger and stronger, the freezing effect gradually weakened, and the speed of the ice breaking became faster and faster.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Ice Cone Explosion!"

A black soul ring under Dean Shui's feet quickly rose up. In order to prevent the Blood Eagle from being killed, the broken ice quickly condensed into tiny sharp ice cones.

When the Blood Eagle finally broke free from the ice, hundreds of ice cones pierced directly at it.
"Boom——"

A burst of purple lightning suddenly struck the ice cone, followed by the second and third bursts of purple lightning.

But how could the skills released by a mere thousand-year soul beast possibly withstand the power of a ten-thousand-year soul skill? As the first weapon cone broke through the purple thunder attack and pierced into the body of the tribulation-crossing blood eagle,

It let out a scream, and the effect of its soul skills gradually decreased.

"Shhhhh-"

Seeing more and more ice spikes piercing into the body of the Tribulation Crossing Blood Eagle, Dean Shui showed a satisfied smile.

"burst!"

The ice cone inside the blood eagle exploded with a sound, and countless ice cone fragments spread out directly in its body, stained with blood.

"boom--"

The Blood Eagle was seriously injured and fell towards the sea below. Dean Shui quickly reminded him,
"Xiao Ji, this is a great opportunity. Take advantage of it quickly."

Ji Wuming did not hesitate at all and immediately used his first soul skill. He seized the opportunity when the Blood Eagle was falling and threw out the blood spear. The blood spear went straight through the head and the entire body of the Blood Eagle was completely dead.
