Douluo Continent: I, Long Aotian, will not be a supporting character.

Golden soul flames began to burn from the golden hawksbill turtle's body. As the golden soul flames continued to burn, the golden hawksbill turtle's form gradually faded, like an increasingly transparent piece of golden amber.

All the surrounding golden light began to shrink inward, gradually forming a ring that tightly surrounded Long Yuanba and the golden tortoise-shell beast.

The golden tortoiseshell's form grew fainter and fainter until it melted into a beam of light, which then seeped into Long Yuanba's body.

The light and shadow gradually and completely penetrated into Long Yuanba's body, and Long Yuanba's entire body was completely rendered into a golden statue.

Just as the golden tortoiseshell light was about to completely dissipate, two objects shimmering with an unusual light fell from it.

One of the soul bones, radiating a dark golden light, was a 100,000-year-old soul bone produced by the Golden Tortoiseshell, and it was a left arm bone.

Guided by the golden tortoiseshell light, the left arm bone was directly attached to Long Yuanba's left arm, and the soul bone fusion began simultaneously.

The other item was a piece of metal that emitted a bright green light. This piece of metal did not look very big, and its shape was irregular. There seemed to be faint traces of teeth marks on it. A huge life force emanated from this piece of metal, which instantly invigorated everyone present.

Long Aotian knew that this was the Gold of Life, so he quickly picked it up and put it into his storage soul tool.

A moment later, a blood-red spirit ring quietly appeared on Long Yuanba's body, along with his first eight spirit rings: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, and red. The nine spirit rings were pulsating up and down Long Yuanba's body in the same rhythm.

The ninth blood-red spirit ring exuded a unique aura of a 100,000-year-old spirit beast, far surpassing the previous spirit rings. As for the eighth spirit ring, although it appeared black, Long Aotian knew that his father's eighth spirit ring was in a dormant state. Once its power was unsealed, its power would likely be even stronger than this newly formed ninth spirit ring.

The ninth spirit ring has been completely absorbed, and the 100,000-year spirit bone in the left arm has also been completely absorbed.

Thus, the sacrifice of the 100,000-year-old golden tortoise shell was completely successful, and Long Yuanba officially became a Title Douluo. At the age of thirty-six, he was probably one of the most outstanding Title Douluos in the entire ten-thousand-year history of the Douluo Continent.

After absorbing the soul ring and soul bone, Long Yuanba opened his eyes, and a golden light flashed in them.

Clenching his fist, Long Yuanba felt an unprecedented surge of power.

"Dad, how are you feeling?" Long Aotian asked immediately when he saw his father open his eyes.

"Awesome! This is so awesome! Because it was a sacrifice, I completely absorbed the power of the 100,000-year-old golden tortoise shell without wasting a single bit. The 100,000-year-old soul ring and 100,000-year-old soul bone directly pushed me to the level 92 Title Douluo soul power, advancing two levels in a row."

"Indeed, it's quite good. The power of sacrifice is indeed strong." Poisonous Death nodded in affirmation.

"Yuanba, what are your four skills?" Du Bisi continued to ask.

"My ninth spirit ring has two skills: a domain-type skill—Turtle King Domain—and an attack-type skill—Turtle King Meteor Strike. My left arm spirit bone has two skills: a spatial teleportation skill—Golden Turtle Shedding its Shell—and a defensive skill—Guardian Shield."

"Attack, defense, domain, teleportation—your four skills are very comprehensive! It was truly worth the time we spent searching for this 100,000-year-old soul beast," said Poisonous Death.

"Alright, now that Yuanba has officially entered the Title Douluo realm, we have achieved all the objectives of our trip. Now we can finally return to our sect."

"Yay, we can finally go back!" Vina was the first to express her happiness. After all, it must have been very inconvenient for a little girl to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest for so long.

The group of five headed towards the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

After walking for a short while, they reached the boundary between the mixed zone and the outer zone. Ao Yumou spoke up, "There are Soul Masters and Soul Beasts fighting ahead. Should we avoid them?"

"It looks like a child, hunting for a soul ring all by himself," Ao Yumou said after sensing for a moment.

Long Aotian's heart stirred, because the distance was already very close, and even without activating his Yin-Yang Eyes, he could sense an unusual aura ahead.

If I'm not mistaken, the little child my mother mentioned in front is the same calamity-inducing life form that I sensed with my Yin-Yang eyes before, a life form filled with misfortune and disaster.

Long Aotian said, "Mom, I can sense a strange aura of luck on that child. Let's go take a look."

Long Aotian wasn't wrong; the power of calamity also belongs to the power of fortune, only it's a negative kind of fortune.

Beings that possess inherent luck are rare, and the group was curious about them. Therefore, they followed Long Aotian's advice and headed towards that location.

A moment later, two figures entangled together appeared ahead.

A nine-foot-long Azure Serpent signifies that this Azure Serpent has reached the level of a nine-hundred-year-old soul beast. At this moment, it is tightly coiled around a little boy, while biting the boy's shoulder.

A yellow spirit ring emanated from the little boy, providing him with the power to resist the serpent's coiling, strangling, and biting. The little boy also held on tightly to the serpent's vital spot, refusing to let go.

Although this little boy has spirit rings, we cannot see what his martial spirit is.

The man and the snake became entangled together.

However, the yellow spirit ring on the little boy's body flickered, clearly indicating that the boy's condition was precarious under the dual pressure of the giant python's strangulation and biting.

Seeing this, Long Aotian naturally wouldn't watch a child die in front of him.

He stomped his feet and charged forward, shouting to Du Bisi and the others, "I'm going to save them!"

In just a few steps, he had already rushed to the side of the Jade Serpent and the little boy.

His first spirit ring flashed: "Golden Madness." As he activated his spirit skill, he reached down with his right hand and grabbed the tail of the Jade Serpent.

"Let go!" Long Aotian said to the little boy while grabbing the tail of the Bilin snake.

Seeing this, the little boy realized that Long Aotian had come to save him, so he gave up biting the Bilin Snake and opened his mouth.

As the little boy opened his mouth, Long Aotian suddenly exerted force with his right arm, forcefully pulling the Bilin Snake directly from the little boy's body, and then, like cracking a whip, slammed the Bilin Snake to the ground with a "smack".

"Smack! Smack! Smack!" The sounds were incessant as Long Aotian slammed the Bilin Snake to the ground again and again.

After seven or eight consecutive strikes, the Jade Serpent was barely able to breathe, let alone exhale.

The little boy collapsed to the ground the moment he escaped.
