Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 122 Choosing a Soul
Looking around, it was still the same space as before, with eight large metal doors opening again in the distance.

Emerging from behind each door was a ferocious soul beast, its entire body engulfed in flames—a Flame Demon Lion.

Lin Xingyu's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this scene. What surprised him was not that these soul beasts all had more than 500 years of cultivation, but that although these soul beasts were clearly from the same individual in his eyes, their auras were faintly disconnected from each other, as if they were about to form a new individual.

However, they were still connected in the end. If Lin Xingyu were to take action, under his "high-dimensional vision," he was confident that he could completely sever the last connection between them and turn them all into new life.

Wouldn't that be equivalent to creating an artificial soul?

Of course, there are side effects as well. That is, he only cares about severing, not about saving. These soul beasts may all die instantly the moment he separates them.

Just tell me whether they've completely separated or not!
At least for that moment, they were free.

“I’ll take the lead in this challenge!” Yuan Enhui volunteered.

Three purple spirit rings slowly rose from Yuanen Yehui's body, and his body grew taller as a result.

Titan's Power! Air Cannon!

As her first two spirit rings lit up, she charged towards a large gate, and her air cannon at extremely close range shattered the fiery lion in front of her.

After dealing with a set of Flame Lions in one scene, she turned and charged in another direction.

On the other side, Lin Xingyu was not idle either. His first three spirit rings lit up, and small metal swords with only blades appeared on his body.

Seeing any Flame Lion show signs of dodging Yuanen's attack, Lin Xingyu would casually follow up with an attack, instantly ending the soul beast's life.

The two quickly killed all eight fire lions together.

Yuan Enhui walked directly back to the center and arrived at the golden gate that had appeared. Lin Xingyu followed, and the two of them left the second floor in an instant.

They didn't even choose to listen to the metallic sound coming from it.

Upon reaching the third level, facing these soul beasts who lacked individual strength but possessed a numerical advantage, the two still instantly killed them without any incident.

Level 4, Level 5, Level 6...

The two continued to push through with ease until the frequent appearance of thousand-year-old soul beasts forced them to slow down in order to conserve their soul power.

In the eighth level, facing six two-thousand-year-old soul beasts, the two once again chose the most efficient, highest-efficiency, and most energy-saving combat method, with one assisting and the other taking the lead, working together to eliminate them one by one.

In the ninth level, four three-thousand-year-old ice bears burst out from four metal gates.

Yuan Enhui stepped back and chose to rest, leaving the main battlefield to Lin Xingyu, who was even more effective at countering them.

Lin Xingyu stepped forward, and the small metal swords floating around his body shot directly at the four newly opened doors.

boom!boom!boom!boom!
The metal flying sword, propelled by terrifying force, pierced directly into the ice bear's body, where it then exploded violently.

With each explosion, a terrifying heatwave spread outwards, causing the temperature inside the room to rise.

"Ow!"

Accompanied by a series of mournful howls, the properties of the Glazed True Fire were displayed one after another on the four ice bears.

Even though they were just Soul Towers, virtual creations, they still felt a constant, terrifying pain when faced with the flames that burned everything.

The terrifying flames seemed intent on burning everything to ashes.

The four ice bears, radiating a snow-white light, had just stepped out of the metal gate and hadn't even displayed their power when Lin Xingyu turned them into energy and dissipated them into the air.

Yuan Enhui glanced at the golden phantom that had formed after the ice bear dissipated, hesitated for a moment, and then walked directly to the golden gate.

Although these ice bears were all very strong, they were still lacking in some areas, and she didn't think much of them.

In the tenth level, Lin Xingyu, though not heavily exhausted, still chose to rest. In this battle, he was responsible for support, while Yuan Enhui was responsible for the main attack.

After the battle, looking at the illusory image of the dragon lizard that remained in place, Yuan Enhui simply gave up, as her compatibility with it was far too low.

The two maintained this rhythm, trying to have one take the lead and the other assist, so that they could always stay in their best condition.

Level 11, watching the charging Thunder Beast Soul.

Lin Xingyu directly released his Thunderous Hell Vine Soul Spirit, while on the other side, he used the power of the magnetic field to continuously interfere with the movement of the Thunder Beast.

The oppressive aura emanating from the superior bloodline and Lin Xingyu's interference caused the thunder beast to lose its most advantageous speed. With Lin Xingyu finishing it off with a sword strike, the battle was over.

'The suppression of bloodlines among soul beasts is truly severe. I wonder if I'll ever encounter one that suppresses me in the future.' Watching the thunder beast disappear from its spot, Lin Xingyu fell into deep thought.

"Let's go!" Yuan En called softly, looking at the group of Lin Xingyu who were deep in thought.

Lin Xingyu, whose thoughts had been interrupted, was too lazy to wallow in self-pity any longer and forgot all his sadness in the blink of an eye.

"King Kong Baboon?" Yuan En Ye Hui, the soul beast of the twelfth level, immediately became interested.

"This is it!" Yuan Enhui said decisively.

"Let's not think about it anymore. The soul beasts up there must be stronger than those down there. Our soul power is still quite abundant, so we can easily fight another dozen or so levels," Lin Xingyu said quietly from the side.

“No, the spirits above may be of higher quality, but in terms of compatibility with me, they are not as good as this one,” Yuanen Yehui said, shaking her head.

"The only ape-type spirit beast that is more compatible with it is the Titan Giant Ape, but a spirit of that level cannot be placed here. Even if we fight through a dozen more levels, it will be difficult to encounter a spirit of better quality."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xingyu nodded silently. The two were not internal staff members of the Spirit Pagoda.

As for the Soul Tower, it is said that all the souls are placed here, but the truly top-tier souls are either placed at extremely high places, and even a group of Soul Saints might not be able to reach it, let alone the two of them with their current cultivation levels.

Either they were placed in a treasure room by some high-ranking member of the Spirit Tower early on and wouldn't be brought here.

This quality of soul spirit is almost at the limit here. The Golden Baboon's pure strength is even three points stronger than that of a soul beast overlord like the Titan Giant Ape.

This might truly be the soul that best suits Yuanen.

This time, Lin Xingyu stepped forward directly, unleashing his magnetic field power to its maximum, and the Radiant Sun Sword appeared in his hand.

With the input of soul power, the Radiant Sun Sword has grown to two meters in length. Against a soul beast that is more than ten meters tall, a giant sword is still more effective.

The King Kong Baboon sensed the presence of the Primal Titan Ape and immediately went berserk, charging out as well.

Lin Xingyu stepped forward to meet him. His soul power and magnetic field were enhanced!

The two, one tiny and the other enormous, collided to produce an astonishing effect.

At the moment of impact, the King Kong Baboon was not only blasted away, but the Glazed True Fire also ignited directly along the huge, deep wound on its body that exposed bone.

As the baboon fiercely attacked the flames, it couldn't help but let out painful howls.

Burning soul power and life force is manageable, but burning mental power is just too painful.

Even the berserk King Kong Baboon was struggling to withstand this excruciating pain that went straight to the depths of its soul.

On the other side, Yuan En looked at Lin Xingyu's results with some shock. He had definitely gone easy on him during the freshman assessment!

This was Yuanen's only thought.

Seeing the baboon fly backward and crash into the metal wall, Lin Xingyu swung his longsword and, before the baboon could react, pinned it against the wall.

The giant sword pierced straight through the belly of the giant baboon, its tip embedding itself fiercely in the metal wall.

This drove the King Kong Baboon completely berserk. Its eyes turned blood red, and its entire body instantly turned dark red, exuding a ferocious aura.

It looked rather comical, being nailed to the wall.

Before the King Kong Baboon could break free, Lin Xingyu produced a series of spears formed from Xuanjin Armor in his hand, which he then swung out.

Driven by Lin Xingyu's terrifying strength and magnetic field, accompanied by a series of explosions, the contact area between the King Kong Baboon and the wall was continuously reinforced.

Looking at the soul beast, which was pinned to the wall and whose life was clearly coming to an end.

Yuan Enhui swallowed the part she had just wanted to tell Lin Xingyu about the berserk ability of the King Kong Baboon.

Yuan Enhui opened her mouth for a long time before finally choosing to step forward and end the King Kong baboon's suffering with an air cannon.

So cruel!
