Lin Yu took a deep breath, summoned the Blood Spear, and leaped out from behind the bushes, aiming the spear tip straight for the soul beast's belly.

The moment Lin Yu stepped out, the ears of the Wind and Thunder Silver Mane Tiger twitched.

Hearing the noise, it suddenly exerted force with all four limbs, causing lightning to crackle, and leaped off the stone slab.

The stone slab beneath them shattered with a deafening roar, sending fragments flying like projectiles.

It didn't rush to attack, but instead hovered around Lin Yu.

His amber-colored vertical pupils stared at Lin Yu with a condescending indifference, as if he were looking at an ant that had walked into a trap.

After a standoff of three or four seconds, it suddenly opened its mouth and yawned.

Then a blue arc of electricity shot out from its mouth, heading straight for Lin Yu's face.

Lin Yu dodged to the side, the arc of electricity grazing his ear and striking a large tree behind him. The bark exploded, splattering blackened wood chips everywhere and filling the air with a burnt smell.

There's no time to think about it.

Lin Yu pushed off with his feet, and the blood spear pierced out, aiming straight for the tiger's eye.

But its movements were astonishingly fast. It nimbly dodged the spearheads, while simultaneously slamming down with its front paws, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, and tiny arcs of electricity crackling around its claws.

Lin Yu parried with his spear, but the tiger's claw slammed into the spear, sending him flying. His back slammed into a tree, causing leaves to fall in a rustling sound.

He gritted his teeth and got up, shaking his numb arms.

"This beast's basic attacks are electrified, and its strength is much greater than that of a Soul Master of the same level." Lin Yu cursed inwardly that it was out of control.

The Wind and Thunder Silver Mane Tiger did not press its advantage; it merely watched him, licking its paws as if enjoying the struggle of its prey.

Lin Yu's eyes flashed, and he pounced again. This time, he didn't confront the tiger head-on, but instead darted around the Wind and Thunder Silver Mane Tiger's body like a dragon, stabbing and then retreating.

Each time the blood spear pierced through, it precisely left bleeding wounds on its body.

A few minutes later, the Wind and Thunder Silver Mane Tiger's back and abdomen were covered in wounds, none of which were fatal, but enough to sustain.

As long as Lin Yu doesn't stop using his first soul skill, the wound won't heal, and his soul power will continuously flow out through the wound, replenishing Lin Yu's body.

The light on Lin Yu's blood spear was even brighter than before.

With the balance of power shifting, killing it is only a matter of time.

The Wind and Thunder Silver Mane Tiger also noticed something was wrong; its strength was dropping too quickly, which didn't seem like normal soul power consumption.

We must deal with the humans in front of us quickly, or we will be worn down to death.

It roared, and the sound wave, accompanied by lightning, spread in all directions. Lin Yu's ears rang from the sound wave, his mind went blank for a moment, and his movements slowed down.

The tiger's claws slammed down instantly, tearing through the air with their sharp edges, aimed straight at Lin Yu's neck with a chilling glint.

Instead of retreating, Lin Yu advanced and threw a punch, his left arm glowing with a dark golden light.

Earth-shattering!

The fist and the tiger's claw collided with a loud bang, and the soul power exploded in all directions, whipping up the withered leaves on the ground and sending them flying everywhere.

Lin Yu was knocked back several steps, his left arm went numb, and he barely managed to steady himself by plunging the blood spear into the ground.

His gaze was piercing, never leaving the Wind and Thunder Silver Mane Tiger.

The Wind and Thunder Silver Mane Tiger was also shaken and collapsed to the ground. It stood up, shook its head, and was briefly stunned.

The Thunderous Silver-Maned Tiger snapped out of its daze and flew into a rage. The blue stripes on its body lit up, and arcs of electricity danced across its fur.

It opened its mouth, and a ball of lightning gathered in its throat.

In that instant, Lin Yu seized the opportunity.

A gray-black light shone on his forehead, manifesting as a gray vertical eye, like a third eye growing from between his eyebrows.

The head-mounted soul bone skill is Illusionary Abyss Soul Devouring.

A strange light flashed in his eyes as he met the gaze of the Wind and Thunder Silver Mane Tiger.

The tiger froze.

The bolt of lightning flashed in its throat for a moment, then went out completely.

Its eyes lost focus, becoming empty and blank, as if its soul had been ripped away by something.

Without hesitation, Lin Yu seized the opportunity, his body taut like a bowstring stretched out, putting all his strength into it.

next moment.

The blood spear flew from his hand with a piercing sonic boom, like a red lightning bolt, heading straight for the tiger's throat.

The moment the spear tip made contact, it easily pierced through the skin and muscles, emerged from the other side of the throat, and embedded itself in the tree trunk behind.

The Wind and Thunder Silver Mane Tiger staggered as it tried to stand up, but after a struggle, it went limp and collapsed to the ground.

A black spirit ring floated out of the spirit beast's corpse and hovered in the air.

Lin Yu clenched his fist forward, and the blood spear flew back into his hand automatically. He panted and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He poked the corpse: "Why did you have to use a charged soul skill? Wasn't that just courting death?"

Yue Guan and Ling Yuan emerged from behind the bushes.

Yue Guan glanced at the tiger on the ground, then at Lin Yu, her expression complex.

"I never expected that you could hunt down a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast on your own after just a few days."

His tone was tinged with emotion: "A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days' absence."

His gaze fell on the vertical eye on Lin Yu's forehead: "Is this a head soul bone?"

Lin Yu nodded and said, "That's right, I just got it."

Yue Guan didn't ask any more questions. She took a few steps back, leaned against a tree, and crossed her arms.

"Absorb it, we'll protect you."

Lin Yu sat down cross-legged, looking at the black spirit ring that had risen from the tiger's body, and adjusted his breathing.

Soul beasts that are over 10,000 years old develop a special ability after death called...

The soul trembled.

Soul shock will damage a person's psyche and could very likely turn them into an idiot.

He closed his eyes, his soul power surged forth, entwined with the black mass, and drew it toward him.

The moment the spirit ring entered his body, a violent force far exceeding anything he had ever experienced exploded within him.

And this is just the beginning.

The resentment and ferocity of the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast before its death transformed into countless sharp needles, which frantically pierced into Lin Yu's spirit along the connection of the soul ring.

Lin Yu's consciousness was instantly pulled into a dark space, where countless mournful roars exploded in his ears—the resentment of the Wind and Thunder Silver Mane Tiger before its death.

The shockwave was like a heavy hammer, repeatedly pounding against his soul barrier.

Fortunately, the newly absorbed head bone is immune to mental attacks.

The oscillating force could only create ripples on the shield formed by the head bone, but it could not damage Lin Yu's spiritual sea.

Time passed second by second.

After an unknown amount of time, the violent energy finally subsided.

A black spirit ring slowly descended from above Lin Yu's head to beside his knees, then quickly dimmed and merged into his body.

Lin Yu opened his eyes.

Level 34.

Ling Yuan walked over, looked down at him, and smiled: "Congratulations, your third soul ring is ten thousand years."

"His martial soul level rose to level 34 not long after he awakened it."

"With your speed of advancement and spirit ring configuration, how are others supposed to compete?"

Lin Yu stood up and stretched, his bones cracking as he did so.

Yue Guan also walked over, looked him up and down, and nodded.

"Let's go, it's getting dark." He looked up at the sky, which was already beginning to darken.
