Douluo Continent: Transmigrated into Tang San's Younger Sister and Became a God with Two Martia

Chapter 18 The 80,000-Year-Old Flame Lion

A huge lion stood there in the firelight. It was enormous, tall and majestic, and its mane was as fiery as the burning flames, shimmering with red and gold light.

The Flame Lion was muscular and strong, with powerful limbs and piercing eyes that shone like two burning flames as it stared at the three of them with a fierce light.

Its tail is long and powerful, with a blazing flame at the end, from which sparks occasionally fly.

The Flame Lion stared at the two warily, as if ready to strike at any moment.

Zhao Wuji's heart skipped a beat. "This is a ten-thousand-year-old fire lion. Judging from the length of its tail, this fire lion has at least eighty thousand years of cultivation."

Eighty thousand years.

It's about to leap into the realm of 100,000 years of cultivation, no wonder the surrounding little soul beasts scattered; the Flame Lion is indeed a fearsome existence for them.

However, Zhao Wuji couldn't understand why the Flame Lion would target the three of them.

"Once you're entangled with the Flame Lion, it's a fight to the death. You two keep an eye on Dai Mubai. Once he's finished absorbing the soul ring, you two should leave quickly. Don't worry about me, understand?" Zhao Wuji stared intently at the Flame Lion.

Tang Nian's eyes flashed. She needed a powerful offensive skill, and now the Flame Lion had arrived. Wasn't this obviously a free cheat?

She raised her hand, and the binding vines took the shape of an egg, covering Dai Mubai in a protective posture.

Tang Nian spoke softly, "Teacher Zhao, I think this Flame Lion is perfect for my third spirit ring."

Zhao Wuji's eyes widened instantly. "Are you crazy? This is a soul beast that's over 80,000 years old! Besides, you're a plant-type soul master. Absorbing this flame lion is far too dangerous. No way!"

Tang Nian twisted her neck and said, "Teacher Zhao, it's time to show you my true strength."

Before Zhao Wuji could react, Tang Nian took out a longsword from her storage ring.

The millennium soul ring lit up, and the first soul skill, Demonic Mist, instantly surrounded the Flame Lion with red mist. However, as Tang Nian had predicted, it had no effect on the Flame Lion, and its movements continued as before.

Tang Nian's heart skipped a beat as she stared intently at the enormous lion before her. As expected of a soul beast over 80,000 years old, her first soul skill was completely ineffective against it.

She held a longsword, its blade flashing like water, and clashed fiercely with the fiery lion's claws.

Zhao Wuji, standing behind, widened his eyes in surprise. This little girl was really reckless, charging straight ahead like that. He shouted, "I'll help you."

Immediately, Zhao Wuji's fourth and fifth spirit rings lit up, and his body instantly soared into the air. When he landed again, because of the tracking effect of his fourth spirit skill, he actually landed directly in front of the Flame Lion. At the same time, his fifth spirit skill, Gravity Compression, was activated.

It was obvious that the Flame Lion's movements had slowed down.

The Fiery Lion opened its mouth and let out a deafening roar, flames spewing from its mouth, and sharp fangs could be vaguely seen in the flames.

Tang Nian chuckled and activated her second soul skill, Binding Vine, which formed a huge yet tight net of countless vines in front of the two of them.

Zhao Wuji looked at Tang Nian as if she were a madman. These few vines, trying to block the flames? Wasn't that just wishful thinking?

Ok?

The flames failed to burn through the vines and were completely blocked, but the heat still made the two of them sway.

Tang Nian sneered, "Binding Vine, Fire Immunity."

Speaking of this, Tang Nian has to thank Ma Hongjun. During one of their sparring sessions, Ma Hongjun's evil fire was sprayed onto the vines, but the vines remained resilient and unchanged.

The Flame Lion roared at the sky, and seeing that the flames were useless, it stopped breathing fire. After sharpening its hind paws on the ground, it attacked the two, preparing for a melee.

At this moment, the Flame Lion had been enraged by Tang Nian. It breathed a mouthful of flame at Zhao Wuji, surrounding him, and then ignored Zhao Wuji. It was big and strong, and ran very fast. In no time, it reached Tang Nian and swung out a claw, instantly creating a deafening sound.

Tang Nian did not dodge and was struck by a claw. Blood flowed freely from her slender arm, but as the black spirit ring lit up, the Flame Lion's limbs were controlled.

Tang Nian gripped her longsword tightly and swung it with all her might, striking the lion on the forehead. The fiery lion let out a miserable howl and collapsed to the ground.

Tang Nian was also panting heavily from exhaustion, but she knew the importance of finishing off the enemy. Ignoring the numbness in her arm from swinging the longsword, she rushed forward and thrust several more swords at the Flame Lion's head.

With a mournful howl, the Flame Lion stopped breathing completely. As expected of an 80,000-year soul ring, it was surrounded by pitch-black energy, as ferocious and uncontrollable as a hungry beast, and a strong black aura enveloped the area.

Under the cover of darkness, the true nature of spirit rings becomes mysterious and unpredictable.

"Teacher Zhao, the Flame Lion just died, and no soul beast will dare to approach here for a while. I'll absorb the soul ring first," Tang Nian said firmly, clutching her injured arm.

Zhao Wuji was completely dumbfounded. Tang Nian had always been a gentle and kind girl in front of them, but he never expected her to be like this when hunting soul beasts...

brutal.

"This is an 80,000-year-old soul beast after all. This is not something you can handle, Tang Nian," Zhao Wuji said, frowning.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Teacher Zhao, trust me, I can do it." After saying that, Tang Nian recalled the vines protecting Dai Mubai, and then sat down to begin absorbing the soul ring.

On a large tree not far away, a dark figure stood there, staring at Tang Nian's position. Strangely enough, Zhao Wuji, a Soul Saint, was completely unaware of it.

Just as Zhao Wuji said, the Flame Lion's spirit ring was extremely domineering, and the pain surged like a tidal wave.

Tang Nian's face turned deathly pale, veins bulged on her forehead, and she was drenched in sweat. The pain seemed to have a life of its own, writhing and spreading rampantly throughout Tang Nian's body.

The spirit ring trembled in pain, emitting a low hum, as if expressing its resentment.

Tang Nian gritted her teeth, letting the pain cut into her soul like a sharp blade, as if countless threads in the darkness were swallowing her whole.

As dawn broke, the hazy morning sun slowly rose through the clouds, casting a golden glow.

Dai Mubai slowly opened his eyes and saw the mess around him and the haggard and weathered Zhao Wuji. Following Zhao Wuji's gaze, Dai Mubai saw Tang Nian with a pained expression and the ten-thousand-year soul ring she was absorbing.

Zhao Wuji was so engrossed in watching that he didn't notice Dai Mubai's movement until Dai Mubai walked up behind him. "Have you finished absorbing the spirit ring?"

Dai Mubai nodded, then asked with concern, "You've finished absorbing it, what's wrong with Teacher Zhao?"

"A level 30 Soul Master absorbing an 80,000-year Soul Ring, is that unheard of or unseen?" Zhao Wuji said with a weathered expression.

Dai Mubai: "?"

Double update for today, my darlings!
