Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 45 I Laugh at the Mortal World, Giving You a Chance to Catch Up, Until It's Beyond Reach
"Done!"

In fact, after consuming whale glue, the absorption age of Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's fifth soul ring increased to over 15,000 years, but not by much.

Judging from the length of its teeth and fur, the golden wolf king in the distance is about 16,000 years old, which is still a bit risky.

"This guy is really going all out these days."

Meng Hongchen covered her mouth and smiled, knowing that it was Huo Yuhao who had put pressure on her older brother.

Otherwise, given his older brother's personality, he wouldn't have insisted on absorbing a spirit beast spirit ring that far exceeded the limit of the fifth spirit ring, even knowing there was danger involved.

“Alright, let’s split up. I’ll distract the Golden Wolf King, and you guys lay down the soul-guided bombs ahead.”

"Then Meng will weaken it with poison, and after it is severely injured, I will use the ultimate ice to eliminate the smell of blood. Xiao Ni will then lead the Golden Wolf Dynasty to the outer perimeter."

The three of them could easily handle a ten-thousand-year-old golden wolf king, but these kinds of spirit beasts are social creatures.

The other golden wolf kings and the elemental silver wolf king must be not far from here. If they attract the entire wolf pack, the three of them will inevitably get into trouble.

"Okay, Yuhao, be careful."

He nodded. He had the Starlight Ring, a level nine soul tool given to him by his teacher. After concealing his aura, the Golden Wolf King couldn't sense him at all, making him the best target for action.

The Golden Wolf King, having finished eating its fill of metal, was about to turn back to the wolf pack when it suddenly saw a human Soul Master appear in front of it, and it hadn't sensed a trace of his presence at all.

The Golden Wolf King, with its inherently volatile temper, naturally charged forward with a low growl.

Huo Yuhao temporarily restricted the Golden Wolf King's movements with the Ice Soul Spirit Chain, and then Meng Hongchen joined the battle, unleashing his full power of poison and ice. Xiao Hongchen also set up his hundreds of soul-guided cannons, bombarding the Golden Wolf King relentlessly.

Bang bang bang! !

A huge explosion resounded through the forest. Before the battle could even begin, the Golden Wolf King was severely injured by Xiao Hongchen's soul-guided cannonball and was on the verge of death.

"go!"

Huo Yuhao could already sense the presence of a wolf pack in the distance; he absolutely could not stay here any longer.

Without hesitation, Xiao Hongchen put away the dying Golden Wolf King, and the three of them ran towards the outer perimeter.

When the Elemental Silver Wolf and the other two Golden Wolf Kings arrived, all that remained was a scene of devastation, along with the three people's auras completely extinguished by the Extreme Ice.

"Ow~"

The piercing screams continued, but like headless flies, they couldn't find any clues at all.

The outskirts of Jingyang Great Forest.

After running for half an hour, the three finally reached a safe place. Xiao Hongchen adjusted his condition and then gave the already dying Golden Wolf King a quick death.

A black spirit ring appeared, and without much hesitation, Xiao Hongchen began to absorb this spirit ring that was extremely compatible with him.

Huo Yuhao then began looting the corpse, but he did not find any soul bones on the golden wolf king.

Sigh, as expected, I'm not always blessed with good luck.

Shaking his head, while Xiao Hongchen absorbed the soul ring, he immediately started a fire and cooked the golden wolf king, with Meng Hongchen assisting him.

Meat from a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast is a rare and precious ingredient in the academy's cafeteria.

The soul ring absorption went smoothly, and by the time Xiao Hongchen woke up from the absorption state, Huo Yuhao had just finished cooking.

"Hahaha, I am indeed a genius. I have just entered the Soul King realm and my soul power has already reached level 52."

"Judging from how excited you are, your fifth soul skill must be pretty good."

Huo Yuhao tore off a roasted wolf leg and asked as he ate. Xiao Hongchen was very hungry, but decided to show off his soul skill first. After all, eating was a small matter, but showing off was a big deal.

"That's right, my fifth soul skill is called Golden Favor, which greatly increases my affinity for metal. When my soul power is boiling, it can also greatly improve the precision of metal control and the power of soul tools."

"In addition, it can consume a large amount of soul power to liquefy my body into a metallic state, making me immune to 80% of physical attacks. During the liquefaction period, I can freely pass through solid obstacles."

He couldn't wait to show off his skills.

"Very good. Let's eat first. Afterwards, we'll continue into the Jingyang Mountains to see if we can find a soul beast with both ice and poison attributes suitable for Meng."

The soul beast he wanted could only be found incidentally during this process, since the three-legged golden toad was still too rare.

what?
Although he received a good review, Xiao Hongchen was not satisfied. He secretly took a piece of grilled meat, chewed it, and said in a cheeky tone.

"Are you envious? Do you think I was really cool just now? Don't worry, I'll give you a chance to catch up, until you're out of reach."

Alright, alright, this statement carries significant implications. Huo Yuhao has always chosen to ignore this kid's arrogance; once the child is left unattended, he'll return to normal.

After a short rest and some chatting and laughing, the three of them got up and entered the Jingyang Great Forest again.

With a prepared map of the spirit beast gathering area, it won't take much time to find it.

Seven days later, in a valley in the forest.

With the cooperation of the three, Meng Hongchen successfully obtained his fifth soul ring, which was several hundred years older than Xiao Hongchen's.

The soul beast that generated the soul ring was a Crimson Flame Ice Python that was nearly 17,000 years old. It possessed both ice and a trace of fire attributes, making it an extremely rare type of soul beast.

Meng Hongchen's fifth soul skill is called Zhu Qingbing Eyes, which can fuse ice and fire attributes with mental power to invade the enemy's mental sea.

It also has the effect of depriving the enemy of their senses, the duration of which is determined by their soul power level, while the residual spiritual power will continue to damage the enemy's senses.

Once Meng Hongchen obtained the soul ring, the three of them dared to venture deeper into the area.

However, at this point, the three of them stopped focusing on exploring the areas where soul beasts gathered marked on the map and instead headed towards the area with high concentrations of metal ore veins.

Only in such a place can a rare metal-attribute soul beast like the three-legged golden toad appear, thus satisfying Huo Yuhao's requirements for his third soul ring.

Half a month later.

On the ground, the black soil faintly shimmered with an eerie metallic luster under the moonlight. Huo Yuhao, Meng Hongchen, and the other two hid in the shadows, staring at the golden swamp ahead, and smiled at the same time.

"Phew~ As expected of a soul beast that can become my genius martial soul, it is indeed rare. It really took us a long time to find it."

Xiao Hongchen spoke with a sigh of relief. In the past two weeks, the three of them had searched more than a dozen rare metal veins, but all of them had come up empty-handed.

It's not that the soul beasts aren't old enough, but that they don't meet Huo Yuhao's requirements.

Looking at the three-legged toad sleeping peacefully by the swamp in the distance, they felt that the past two weeks had not been in vain.

At the same time, the appearance of the three-legged toad also indicates that there must be a vein of rare metals with a high concentration under this swamp.

“This three-legged golden toad has a total of twenty-four semi-dark gold stripes on its back, and its age is almost twenty-five thousand years old. Yuhao, are you sure you want to obtain its soul ring?”

After all, 25,000 years is almost the limit that Huo Yuhao can accept for a soul ring, so there might be some problems when absorbing it.

"That's it."

With the accumulated good fortune over the past six months, he was certain that he would obtain the Soul Skill of Metal Control, which would perfectly align with his expectations, and he might not even be able to consume that much good fortune.
