Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 196 Surrender! The Missing Inner Core and Soul Bone!
"Mu Da Mu Da Mu Da!"

Countless fist shadows appeared, carrying sharp punches, stirring up violent waves, and raining down on the Scorpion Tiger like a dense, impenetrable storm.

"drop!"

The next second, the second hand began to tick, and the scorpion tiger regained its mobility, but this time it was even more ethereal.

The ferocious beastly eyes were no longer ferocious; the original greed had vanished, and fear had taken over.

This human boy really wanted to kill him!

But he was powerless to resist time stop, and there was also a human Limit Douluo beside him.

Will I survive this time?

A question arose in the mind of the scorpion tiger.

Other Soul Masters all wanted to merge with him, and even some strong Soul Masters who tried to forcefully merge with him never managed to defeat him.

After all, these people knew their own worth, and he was naturally fearless because of it.

But the boy was really hitting him, showing no regard whatsoever for his soul.

It was as if they were using all their strength, afraid that he might still be alive.

Just then, the voice rang out again.

"Say or not?"

"Won't talk? Keep hitting me..."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Upon hearing this, the scorpion tiger tensed up, its face showing grief. It immediately slowed its limbs and let out rapid whimpers to indicate that it surrendered, and there was even a trace of innocent pity in its eyes.

What do you want me to say? Just ask.

How can I answer if you don't ask?

"Oh, I forgot to ask."

Jiang Xiu's eyes lit up with understanding, and he slowly leaned forward, saying, "Speak! Are you willing to submit?"

The scorpion tiger nodded vigorously. Although the scorpion tiger clan would never be slaves, he didn't want to die even more!

The boy seemed to be giving him a multiple-choice question, but there was only one correct answer.

Moreover, this boy possesses the attribute of time; if one could merge with him, he might be able to revert to his ancestral bloodline.

At that time, he would no longer be a member of the Scorpion Tiger clan, but a noble Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and the Scorpion Tiger clan's vow never to be enslaved would no longer apply to him.

Upon seeing this scene, Leng Yaozhu's beautiful face broke into a smile, like a rose in a cold wind.

It's unbelievable that such a defiant and unyielding spirit was actually subdued by Xiao Xiu.

She never expected that Xiao Xiu would take such an unconventional approach, even bolder and more resolute than that man from back then.

"Since you're willing to submit, you know what to do next, right?" Jiang Xiu asked meaningfully, rubbing his fist.

"Awooo!" The scorpion tiger nodded repeatedly, afraid that if it answered too late, a fist would fall on its head.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiu turned to look at Leng Yaozhu and bowed slightly, saying, "Aunt Leng, please help me preside over the Soul Contract Ceremony."

Leng Yaozhu smiled slightly, indicating that she had no objection to it.

"Little tiger, I still prefer your unruly self from earlier. Can you come back to your old self?"

Na'er walked briskly to Jiang Xiu's side and tapped the scorpion tiger's head with her slender, jade-like fingers.

Scorpion Tiger chuckled awkwardly. He still wanted to live, and he could sense that the girl in front of him seemed even more terrifying than him.

Seeing that the Scorpion Tiger truly had no other intentions this time, Na'er stepped aside, making room for the contract ceremony.

"Buzz!"

With a light wave of Leng Yaozhu's hand, two six-pointed star arrays appeared under Jiang Xiu and Scorpion Tiger respectively, with countless divine golden runes floating around, pulling Scorpion Tiger toward Jiang Xiu.

The scorpion tiger had already made its decision and was completely obedient, directly merging into Jiang Xiu's body under the guidance of the golden runes. It even accelerated the speed of the golden runes, showing a hint of impatience. "Pop!" A crisp sound rang out inside Jiang Xiu's body. Immediately afterwards, the fourth dark soul ring on Jiang Xiu's body gradually condensed, and after a tiger's roar, it completely solidified.

At this moment, Jiang Xiu's cultivation also flowed smoothly into the Soul Sect realm.

Moreover, he was an eleven-year-old Soul Master with two ultimate martial souls.

Apart from the Underworld Emperor, who is favored by this plane, very few people in history have surpassed Jiang Xiu at this age.

Even Tang San and Huo Yuhao cannot compare.

Because the scorpion tiger cooperated perfectly, the soul contract was completed very quickly, in less than a quarter of an hour.

"Hoohoho!"

The moment Jiang Xiu opened his eyes, the scorpion tiger, now a spirit, burst forth from its fourth spirit ring, its dark red beast eyes gleaming with excitement.

At this moment, he had a distinctly different aura than before. A mysterious white hair had appeared faintly in the center of the scarlet "king" character on his forehead, and various parts of his body had undergone slight changes. Although they were not obvious, he was indeed transforming.

This was clearly due to the influence of the Shadow Monarch after becoming Jiang Xiu's second soul spirit, resulting in an additional wisp of time attribute appearing within the Scorpion Tiger's body.

It is precisely this wisp of time attribute that fills the last gap required for the Scorpion Tiger bloodline to revert to its ancestral form.

"Awooo!" the scorpion tiger roared excitedly.

He has everything he needs now!
Once enough time attributes have been absorbed, a good day can be chosen to completely complete the bloodline reversion and become the legendary soul beast with god-level potential—the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!

Seeing Jiang Xiu stand up, Scorpion Tiger hurriedly came to Jiang Xiu's side, used its tiger head to support Jiang Xiu's palm, and let out a low growl.

"Tiger, having wandered for half my life, I only regret not having met a wise ruler. Now, I have been given this opportunity by the Lord. If you do not abandon me, Tiger is willing to serve as your vanguard."

"Tsk, what a sycophant." Hearing what the scorpion tiger said, Na'er covered her pretty face with her hand, but her little head was filled with some wild thoughts.

But if the tiger is the vanguard, what should we call it?
Tiger Vanguard? Or Vanguard of the Charge?
Jiang Xiu nodded slightly, and then experienced the fourth soul skill that the Scorpion Tiger had given him.

Upon experiencing the specific effects of the fourth soul skill, Jiang Xiu raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.

He never expected it to be this soul skill, which was the signature move that made Zhou Weiqing, the God of Destruction, famous.

Although it wasn't the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's signature move, the Arena of Life and Death, Jiang Xiu felt that this was his fourth soul skill, second only to the Arena of Life and Death. Furthermore, the Scorpion Tiger hadn't fully reverted to its ancestral form yet, and he still had several soul skills missing.

It wouldn't be too late for him to seek an opportunity to compete in the life-or-death arena after the Scorpion Tiger has completely transformed into the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

However, upon thinking about the effects of this soul skill, Jiang Xiu felt an urge to try it out right now.

Just then, the scorpion tiger seemed to remember something and transmitted its soul power, saying, "Master, after I died, my inner core and the external soul bones I produced were taken away by humans. If you can absorb them, your strength will definitely increase even more."

Upon hearing Scorpion Tiger's words, Jiang Xiu's eyes lit up slightly. He hadn't expected that this tiger would also have an inner core and an external soul bone.

He has now merged with the scorpion tiger's soul, and the inner core and external soul bone are definitely extremely compatible with him.

“Xiao Xiu, fifty years ago, the inner core and the external soul bone were taken away by Qian Gu Dong Feng. Aunt Leng can’t think of a good way to retrieve them for the time being.” Leng Yaozhu said softly with her red lips slightly parted.

"But don't worry, Xiao Xiu, Aunt Leng will think of another way."

“Aunt Leng, this is too much trouble for you. I will go to find Qian Gu Dong Feng myself in the future,” Jiang Xiu said quickly upon hearing this.

Now Leng Yaozhu and the Leng family are facing suppression from the ancient families. If I trouble Leng Yaozhu again, it will only put her at a disadvantage in the confrontation.

"What? Don't you trust your Aunt Leng?" Leng Yaozhu gave Jiang Xiu a beautiful glare, tapped his forehead with her jade finger, and exuded a unique, cold, and alluring fragrance.

“That’s not it…” Jiang Xiu clicked his tongue slightly and waved his hand.

"It's settled then. I'll figure something out," Leng Yaozhu said forcefully.

Na'er stepped between the two and raised her hand, saying, "Today, our boss broke through to the Soul Master realm. I suggest we go out for a big meal to celebrate."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu and Leng Yaozhu exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile.

After absorbing the soul spirits, the three of them did not linger in the soul spirit research room, but instead walked outside under Leng Yaozhu's guidance.

Just as the three of them turned the corner of the corridor, they saw a white figure walking towards them.

And it is the long-awaited Qian Gu Zhang Pavilion.
