Douluo Continent: The Five Elements Lock Martial Soul, Five Elements Divine Might Transformation

The thousand-year soul ring beneath his feet suddenly lit up, followed by a cyan wind blade that roared out, tearing through the air and producing a piercing sound.

Then the wind blade struck the Earth King's tailbone, severing it completely with a soft "poof" sound!

Then, Ling Yun, who had transformed into the Divine Wood Ape, followed closely behind and unleashed a series of punches at the head of the Earth King.

After consuming the whale gelatin, his strength increased significantly. Combined with the power of the Divine Wood Ape itself, in just a few breaths, the Earth King was severely injured by Ling Yun and lay on the ground on the verge of death.

Ling Yun deactivated his transformation, took out a dagger, and plunged it into the head of the Earth King, ending its life.

After the Earth King died, a purple soul ring flew out from its corpse and floated above it.

Ling Yun sat cross-legged, adjusted his state, and then prepared to absorb the soul ring.

Seeing this, Director Su was shocked and quickly tried to dissuade him, saying, "Ling Yun, are you really going to absorb a thousand-year soul ring that's beyond your level? You should know that if you're not careful, you might explode and die!"

"Don't worry, Director Su, I have confidence in myself!" Ling Yun smiled and continued, "Besides, if I have any problems, you can still interrupt me."

"……OK then."

Knowing he couldn't persuade Ling Yun otherwise, Director Su stopped insisting. Besides, he also wanted to see if Ling Yun could create a miracle, but he still said it.

"But let me make this clear beforehand: if anything unexpected happens to you, I will interrupt you immediately."

"no problem."

Ling Yun smiled casually. For the past two years, he had been training his body, and in the past four months, he had consumed five pieces of whale glue. Absorbing a soul ring that was over a thousand years old was not an easy task for him.

Thinking of this, he immediately released his soul power, drew his soul ring, and added it to his martial soul.

The soul power within the soul ring poured out, constantly impacting Ling Yun's body. Although it was painful, his physical constitution allowed him to withstand it.

At the same time, the Five Element Lock on his wrist also shone brightly, and then greedily absorbed the fire attribute soul power in the soul ring.

Then, as if a switch had been flipped, Ling Yun faintly heard the cry of a crane.

About two hours later, Ling Yun opened his eyes. The bottleneck of his soul power was completely broken, and a strong soul pressure was suddenly released, sweeping outwards.

At this moment, his cultivation level has reached level twenty-four!

Seeing Ling Yun open his eyes, Director Su's eyes lit up immediately, and he exclaimed in surprise, "He actually... he really succeeded in absorbing it! The second ring of the millennium! This is truly unprecedented..."

Although he was just a minor Soul Master, upon seeing Ling Yun's second ring after a thousand years, Director Su suddenly realized that the world of Soul Masters was about to change.

"Ling Yun, how are you feeling now? Absorbing a spirit ring of a higher level didn't harm your body, did it?"

"Haha, I'm doing incredibly well now, and my soul power has reached level twenty-four."

"Level 24? His soul power has increased by so much?" Director Su was stunned for a moment, but then he thought that Ling Yun had absorbed a soul ring at a higher level, so it was only natural that he could increase his soul power by four levels.

At this point, Ling Yun reached out and touched his stomach. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but after absorbing the Earth King's soul ring, his back seemed to have become stronger, and his abdominal muscles were slightly bulging.

"Could it be..."

A bold idea sprouted in Ling Yun's mind, and he quickly poured his soul power into all the bones in his body.

Sizzle!

Suddenly, his shirt ripped open, and a three-meter-long, snow-white scorpion tail burst out from his spine, swaying in the wind behind him.

Upon seeing the snow-white scorpion tail, Ling Yun's eyes lit up immediately. Without a doubt, this was a soul bone!

Seeing this, Director Su also looked puzzled and asked curiously, "Is this the Earth King's scorpion tail? Ling Yun, is this your second soul skill?"

Before Ling Yun could explain, Director Su shook his head and denied it, saying, "That's not right! When a soul skill is activated, the soul master's soul rings will flash."

But just now, let alone spirit rings, you didn't even release your martial spirit. So what's with this scorpion tail? Since it's not a spirit skill, could it be...?

At this point, Director Su thought of a possibility and his spirits lifted.

"Soul bone!"

"That's right, this must be a soul bone! I didn't expect you to be so lucky. Not only did you absorb a thousand-year soul ring that was above your level, but you also got a fire-attribute torso soul bone. No wonder your cultivation level can reach level twenty-four."

Looking at Lingyun's snow-white scorpion tail, Director Su became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he himself had obtained the soul bone.

However, Director Su is wrong about one thing: this scorpion tail is not a torso soul bone, but an external soul bone!

Ling Yun could sense that the scorpion tail had fused with the area below his spine, while his ribcage remained empty, clearly indicating that this was an external soul bone.

Despite having acquired an external soul bone, he did not intend to tell Director Su about it. His strength was still very weak, and the fewer people who knew that he possessed an external soul bone, the better.

"Now, let's test the abilities of this soul bone."

Ling Yun smiled slightly, then poured his soul power into his soul bone. He then aimed at a large tree in front of him and controlled his tail hook to thrust and entangle.

In an instant, the tail hook shot out like an arrow, and then suddenly pierced through the trunk of the tree.

Before the snow-white tail hook, the huge tree that took two people to encircle was like paper, and it was pierced through in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the tail hook released a raging fire, burning the entire tree to ashes.

After witnessing the power of the external soul bone, Ling Yun's eyes lit up and he exclaimed with delight, "It's quite powerful. If you use it to launch a sneak attack in battle, it can definitely cripple your opponent in one fell swoop. I'll call you Flame Tail Hook."

Ling Yun has named his external soul bone, Flame Tail Hook, which can not only thrust and entangle, but also unleash the Earth King's innate skill, Magma Earth-Splitting Strike, after condensing soul power!

Chapter 11 Beast Warrior: Flame Crane

“Lingyun, you have obtained a thousand-year-old torso and soul bone, which is a good thing, but as your teacher, I have to remind you of something.”

At this point, the smile on Director Su's face disappeared, replaced by a serious expression, and he said solemnly.

"Never use soul bones unless it is a life-or-death situation! Soul bones are different from soul rings. As long as you kill a soul master, you can retrieve the absorbed soul bone."

Although you only obtained a thousand-year-old soul bone, it is still priceless. If someone with ill intentions were to find out that you possess a soul bone, it could very well be detrimental to you.

"Yes, I understand. Thank you for reminding me, Director Su."

Ling Yun nodded. Even if Director Su hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have used his external soul bone so easily.

For him, the external soul bone was merely a trump card.

Seeing Ling Yun's reply, Director Su nodded with satisfaction, "That's good. Alright, now that you've obtained your spirit ring, we should head back..."

"Ow"

Before Director Su could finish speaking, a sharp wolf howl suddenly rang out, and then a group of huge black wolves came rushing over, each with sharp teeth and claws, looking like they were not to be trifled with.

Upon seeing the pack of large black wolves, Director Su's expression changed slightly, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Are they Netherworld Wolves? There are so many of them?"

Ling Yun also looked over and discovered that there were a total of twenty Netherworld Wolves. The wolf king, who was the leader, was a thousand-year-old soul beast, and the aura he exuded was no less than that of the Earth King who had just died.

"This is bad. It seems that this pack of Nether Wolves has their eyes on us."

Director Su frowned, then said to Ling Yun, "Ling Yun, I'll cover you. You quickly transform into the Divine Wood Ape and leave this place."

"There's no need for that, Director Su. Just watch me." Ling Yun smiled slightly, then wiped his nose like Piggy Hero and gave a soft shout.

"Five Elements Power, Transform!"

In an instant, the purple soul ring beneath Ling Yun's feet flashed, followed by the Five Element Locks emitting a dazzling red light. Then, a stream of pure fire-attribute soul power poured out like a waterfall and merged into Ling Yun's body.

At the same time, Lingyun's body was covered with pure white feathers, and his arms spread out, transforming into a pair of holy wings.

With a flap of his wings, Ling Yun soared into the sky, and during this time, he himself transformed into a crane, flying freely in the heavens.

It can be said that it can go to heaven and earth and is capable of anything.

His current form is that of a fire-attribute beast-type warrior: Flame Crane!

"It actually turned into a crane?"

Director Su was initially surprised, then muttered to himself, "Just as I guessed, Lingyun's Five Elements Lock can absorb soul rings of the five elements. Each time he absorbs a soul ring of a certain element, he can transform into a beast-type warrior."

At this point, Director Su was overjoyed. The Flame Crane could obviously fly, so it seemed they could leave this place and get rid of the pack of Nether Wolves.

After transforming, Lingyun swooped down and opened its mouth wide. Red light flashed in the crane's beak, which was actually an extremely pure fire attribute soul power.

Then Ling Yun aimed at the Nether Wolves surrounding Director Su and spat out fireballs the size of basketballs, which swept towards the Nether Wolves.

Immediately following this was a series of explosions, and the Ghost Wolf pack suffered heavy casualties under the intense bombardment of fireballs.

In the blink of an eye, seven Nether Wolves with a hundred years of cultivation died from the bombardment of the fireball, while the other Nether Wolves also suffered injuries of varying degrees.

Seeing this, the only unharmed Netherworld Wolf King howled to the sky and bared its teeth at Ling Yun in the sky, as if it wanted to tear Ling Yun to pieces and eat him.

But it couldn't fly, so it could only stand on the ground in a helpless rage. In the end, the Netherworld Wolf King had no choice but to turn its attention to Director Su, intending to kill Director Su first to vent its anger.

With a slight push from its hind legs, the Netherworld Wolf King darted out like an arrow, brandishing its sharp, knife-like claws to grab at Director Su's neck.

At the same time, Ling Yun also descended from the sky. His speed was obviously much faster than that of the Netherworld Wolf King. Before the Netherworld Wolf King could catch Director Su, he grabbed Director Su's shoulder first, and then flapped his wings and took flight, soaring straight into the sky.

"Hehe, you guys keep having fun here, we're on our way!"

After saying that, Ling Yun flew straight out of the Soul Hunter Forest, leaving the Netherworld Wolf King roaring and howling in fury.

"Hehe, as expected of someone who absorbed a thousand-year soul ring beyond their level, this soul skill is really useful."

Director Su smiled and said, "This Flame Crane not only has amazing attack power, but it can also fly, and its flight speed is even much faster than that of agility-type Soul Masters of the same level."

"To be honest, Ling Yun, your strength is probably already above that of this old man."

"Hehe, it's all thanks to the thousand-year soul ring." Ling Yun chuckled, thinking that if he used the Flame Tail Hook in conjunction with the Divine Wood Ape, his current strength should be enough to defeat Director Su.

Thinking about how much stronger he had become, Ling Yun's smile grew even brighter, and even in his current form as a Flame Crane, his smile was still evident.

"Director Su, we are about to leave the Soul Hunter Forest."

At this point, Ling Yun landed on the ground and deactivated his transformation. There was no other way; after transforming into a beast-type warrior, his soul power would be consumed rapidly. With his current level 24 soul power, he could not maintain the transformation for an extended period.

After reverting to their original forms, Ling Yun and Director Su left the Soul Hunter Forest and returned to Notting City by carriage.

Director Su returned directly to Notting Academy, while Ling Yun went to the Martial Soul Hall in Notting City to undergo the identification of a Great Soul Master.

Once he becomes a Great Soul Master, he can receive ten Gold Soul Coins every month, allowing him to save up more money to buy whale glue.

During the appraisal, Ling Yun displayed his spirit rings. Upon seeing his second ring after a thousand years, Matthew showed deep shock and once again invited him to join the Spirit Hall.

Ling Yun politely declined again, and Matthew did not insist. In the end, Ling Yun left the Martial Soul Palace with a subsidy of ten gold soul coins.

Looking at the bustling scene outside, Ling Yun murmured, "Given Master Matthew's personality, he will probably report my second ring of the millennium to the higher-level Spirit Hall, or even directly to Spirit City."

It's likely that it won't be long before the fact that he possesses the second ring of a thousand-year-old ring will be on Bibi Dong's desk, and he will come into Bibi Dong's sight.

Even so, Ling Yun had no regrets. In order to become stronger and to become a god, he had to absorb a thousand-year soul ring.

"Now that I have obtained my second spirit ring, my strength is comparable to that of a three-ring spirit master. It's time to leave this place."
