Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 54 The Unlucky Golden Eagle Soul Beast

Ye Liangchen searched for two days in Sunset Forest but still couldn't find the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. However, he wasn't in a hurry, since he had plenty of time to search slowly.

In the past two days, with the help of the Blue Silver Emperor, Ye Liangchen found a large number of precious medicinal herbs, which can be considered a good harvest.

That morning, Ye Liangchen found a secluded valley and prepared to begin refining elixirs.

"Sister Ayin, please be on guard for me, I'm about to start refining pills."

After giving instructions to Ah Yin, Ye Liangchen lit a large fire, set up the medicine cauldron, took out various medicinal herbs, and began to work.

"Don't worry, Xiao Chen, I sense that the entire valley is safe; there are no powerful soul beasts there."

The Blue Silver Emperor transformed into a nearly four-meter-tall Blue Silver Tree, its entire body bursting with blue light. It used its spiritual power to communicate with thousands of Blue Silver Grasses, keeping watch over the entire valley.

Half a day later, all the medicinal herbs were used up, and Ye Liangchen also refined more than a hundred Jade Flower Pills and Soul Power Pills. After the pills were made, a rich fragrance of pills wafted out of the valley.

"Xiao Chen, hurry! A powerful soul beast is coming!"

Just then, Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin sensed through the Blue Silver Grass in the valley that a large group of soul beasts was rushing towards them from two or three thousand meters away.

"It seems they were attracted by the fragrance of the elixir. Sister Yin, let's go."

"good!"

The Blue Silver Emperor shrank instantly and "whoosh" burrowed into Ye Liangchen's arms.

"Come on! I've prepared some good stuff for you."

Ye Liangchen placed several Jade Flower Pills on a large rock in the valley to attract the attention of the soul beasts, otherwise they would target him.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

With the activation of his external soul bone, Ye Liangchen flew out of the valley like an eagle.

"Awoo..."

"Roar..."

"rustle…"

Ye Liangchen flew a thousand meters away from the valley and landed on a hundred-meter-tall tree. He heard various beast roars coming from the valley and some trees being knocked down. The whole valley was in chaos.

"Buzzing..."

Ye Liangchen scanned the valley with his divine sense and found that at least dozens of soul beasts had arrived, all of them over three thousand years old, and there were even a few ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

"Chirp chirp..."

Just then, a long howl came from a thousand meters away. A golden eagle with a wingspan of 20 meters flew into the valley. The immense pressure made Ye Liangchen feel very dangerous.

"Xiao Chen, this is a golden eagle that is over 2 years old. We need to hide quickly."

The Blue Silver Emperor extended a branch from Ye Liangchen's collar, and in an instant, it sensed the immense pressure.

"Sister Ayin, this big bird is here! Now things are going to get lively."

Ye Liangchen immediately hid among the leaves to watch the battle between the golden eagle and the soul beasts in the valley, hoping for some unexpected gains later.

"Chirp chirp..."

"Bang bang bang..."

The golden eagle's enormous form swooped down into the valley, snapping the trunks of some towering ancient trees with its wings, causing chaos in the valley.

"Roar..."

Countless thousand-year-old soul beasts began to scatter in all directions. Golden eagles that were over 20,000 years old were equivalent to overlords in this area, and they were not to be trifled with.

The remaining three powerful ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts did not leave. They were an 11000-year-old scaled beast, a 12000-year-old sky-splitting tiger, and a 13000-year-old azure giant python. They stood in different directions, staring at the few pills on the stone that emitted a rich fragrance.

"Chirp chirp..."

"Hiss..."

The golden eagle struck first, attacking the giant python directly. Birds and snakes are natural enemies, and they immediately began fighting upon meeting.

"Roar..."

"Awoo..."

The Sky-Splitting Tiger roared and pounced towards the large rock, but the Scaled Beast immediately blocked its way, and the two beasts began to fight.

The ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts had all awakened their intelligence and knew that the pills were valuable and could improve their cultivation. Therefore, none of them would submit to the others, and the fighting scene was extremely exciting. At this moment, the entire valley had become a battlefield for the four ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

"Bang bang bang..."

Hearing the loud noise coming from the valley, Blue Silver Emperor huddled in Ye Liangchen's arms, trembling with fear. After all, she only had a cultivation of over 3 years, and in front of these ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, she was just a little Karami.

Ye Liangchen took out a Barrett MK22 and looked at everything in the valley through the scope.

"Chirp chirp chirp..."

At this moment, the golden eagle flapped its wings, and the fallen feathers shot towards the scaled beast and the sky-splitting tiger like steel knives, while its claws pierced into the giant python's body like steel knives.

"Hiss..."

"Bang bang..."

The giant python, in pain, writhed its dozens-of-meters-long body, knocking down several large trees and leaving the scene in a mess.

"Awooo..."

The Sky-Splitting Tiger and the Scaled Beast were really unlucky, both of them getting hit in the eye by the Golden Eagle's arrow.

In the end, the giant python, the scaled beast, and the sky-splitting tiger all fled, having fallen into a disadvantageous position in the battle, and the golden eagle emerged victorious.

"Chirp chirp..."

The golden eagle swallowed several pills from the stone in one gulp, let out a long cry, and boasted of its victory like a triumphant general.

"Pfft..."

Just then, the golden eagle's head seemed to be struck by something and exploded. Before it could even rejoice, it was dead.

If golden eagles could talk, they would surely shout: "Young man, you have no sportsmanship, you resort to sneak attacks!"

Ye Liangchen was drawn to the golden eagle's arrow-like attack and immediately sniped the bird with a Barrett MK22, intending to use its spirit ring as his fourth ring. His fourth spirit skill, called Life Spike, was an offensive spirit skill, which seemed quite suitable.

"Swish..."

Ye Liangchen flew towards the valley, intending to absorb the spirit ring and use it as his fourth spirit ring.

"Sister Ayin, please keep an eye on things for me. I'm about to absorb this spirit ring."

"Buzzing..."

At this moment, a large black circle had condensed on the golden eagle's corpse. Ye Liangchen directly released the Goddess of Life Martial Soul and used his mind to communicate with the golden eagle's soul ring.

"Xiao Chen, you actually killed that golden eagle."

Blue Silver Emperor didn't know how Ye Liangchen killed the Golden Eagle, but as a pet, she wouldn't pry into her master's secrets.

"Don't take the risk... My god, your soul ring combination is so overpowered."

Blue Silver Emperor was initially worried about Ye Liangchen, but after sensing the guy's powerful martial soul and heaven-defying soul ring configuration, he stopped saying anything and transformed into a nearly 4-meter-tall figure to guard Ye Liangchen's side.

The golden eagle's spirit ring had an age of 23000 years. The spirit ring was drawn over and floated over to fit onto Ye Liangchen's martial soul. In an instant, Ye Liangchen felt a powerful energy constantly impacting all parts of his body.

However, Ye Liangchen's physique is now stronger, and with the support of three soul bones, he can withstand this power. In order to quickly resolve this energy, Ye Liangchen circulated the Hunyuan Technique, dispersing the energy to every part of his body. Half an hour later, the energy impact began to subside.

Next came dealing with the soul shock caused by the ten-thousand-year soul ring. In Ye Liangchen's soul sea, a huge golden eagle phantom appeared and reached out to grab him.

"Idiot, this kind of soul clash is a piece of cake for a cheater like me."

Ye Liangchen had already cultivated the Refining Spirit Technique to the fourth level, so he was not afraid of any soul shock. A golden light shot out from the eyes of the other Ye Liangchen in his soul sea, which directly caused the golden eagle's phantom to dissipate.

With the soul shock resolved, things will be much easier from here on out; all that's needed is to slowly fuse the soul rings.

"Buzzing..."

Two hours later, Ye Liangchen successfully absorbed the soul ring, and a powerful aura erupted from his body, directly allowing his soul power to break through to level 45.

Because he had previously absorbed the 100,000-year-old soul bone of the Blue Silver Emperor, and with the powerful soul power boost from the 23000-year-old Golden Eagle soul ring, Ye Liangchen broke through to level 45 in one go.

"Xiao Chen, you did it!"

Blue Silver Emperor was extremely excited to realize that Ye Liangchen had successfully absorbed the 23000-year Golden Eagle Soul Ring.

"Sister A Yin, it's just a spirit ring that's over 2 years old. With a little effort, you can absorb it."

"The Thorn of Life".

Ye Liangchen decided to test the power of his fourth soul skill. Dozens of green spear-like spikes appeared in his hands and shot out into the distance with great force.

"Bang bang..."

The green spikes shot into the soil and rocks twenty meters away, making a series of explosive sounds and kicking up clouds of dust; they were quite powerful.

"Not bad, this is an area-of-effect skill."

Ye Liangchen was quite satisfied with this soul skill, and the 23000-year golden eagle soul ring was also of extremely high quality.

"Xiao Chen, I sense a soul bone inside this golden eagle's body."

At this moment, the Blue Silver Emperor stretched a branch onto the giant corpse of the golden eagle and sensed a powerful energy. As a soul beast, she immediately understood that this was a soul bone.

"What incredible luck! They even have a soul bone?"

Ye Liangchen was also surprised. Could this be the protagonist's halo? But he immediately realized the reason. The golden eagle had defeated three ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts and successfully obtained the pill. Just when it was happy, it was shot in the head. Before it died, it must have been unwilling, so it produced a soul bone.

Ye Liangchen used his divine sense to perceive the location where the golden eagle had produced its soul bone, then took out a long knife and began to dissect the golden eagle's enormous carcass.

Ten minutes later, a torso bone about twenty centimeters long appeared, radiating light and bursting with powerful soul energy.

"Xiao Chen, the skills generated by these torso bones are very likely related to flight."

The Blue Silver Emperor stretched out its branches and wrapped them around the soul bone, using its spiritual power to sense it and guess the skills within.

"Put it away for now. Although this soul bone is of good quality, its age is a bit too young."

"Ah! 23000 years is still too low for you?"

"Sister Ayin, it's too low for me. When I first absorbed my external soul bone, the Wind and Thunder Wings, it was 15000 years old, and now it has grown to over 25000 years old. Let's leave this valley first."

Ye Liangchen put away the soul bone, took the Blue Silver Emperor with him, and directly activated the Wind and Thunder Wings to fly out of the valley.

Now that his soul power has reached level 45, Ye Liangchen's flying speed has also increased. A few minutes later, he had already flown more than ten kilometers away from the valley.

Ye Liangchen originally intended to find the immortal herb first and then absorb the ten-thousand-year soul ring, but plans can't keep up with changes. The 23000-year golden eagle soul ring is extremely rare, so he solved the soul ring problem ahead of schedule.

Fortunately, Ye Liangchen had a cheat code; his physique was strong enough, and with the support of three soul bones, he was able to absorb the golden eagle soul ring that was over 20,000 years old.

After completing his fourth spirit ring, it was already evening. Ye Liangchen carefully found a stream, took a bath, and then planned to find a safe place to rest.

"Xiao Chen, you can rest here! I'll keep watch over you. With me here, you can sleep soundly."

The Blue Silver Emperor instantly grew to about 4 meters tall, and as usual, it used several very resilient vines to weave a hammock bed for Ye Liangchen to rest in.

"Sister Ayin, it's too spacious here, it's dangerous."

"Don't worry, I can sense places very far away now. If there's any danger, I'll take you and run away."

"Alright then! Thank you, Sister Yin."

With the support of numerous pills, Blue Silver Emperor's cultivation level has been rapidly increasing, and it is already close to four thousand years old. Ye Liangchen no longer holds back and lies down on the soft hammock to sleep. He was exhausted from absorbing the soul ring that had been around for over twenty thousand years, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Blue Silver Emperor then wove a net with some vines to surround Ye Liangchen and conceal his aura. At the same time, a burst of blue light erupted from her body, connecting with the Blue Silver Grass within a radius of two thousand meters, keeping a constant watch and acting as a security guard.
