Chapter 74: The Third Spirit Ring, Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, Symbol of the Emperor, The Empress

The two Spirit Beasts currently locked in combat did not notice at all that someone had been watching them from the side.

Amidst their struggle, their attention was entirely focused on each other and that small, pale blue flower.

Flender suddenly struck.

The power displayed by the fluctuation of his seven Spirit Rings instantly shocked both Spirit Beasts.

His speed was extremely fast, and he did not use any soul skill.

With just a simple punch, the body of the Giant Stone Demon Ape was heavily smashed away, snapping a thick tree trunk that would require three people to encircle in half.

"The Dean's strength is so formidable,"

Ye Lin thought to herself.

In the original story, it was very rare to see Flender take action; one only knew that Zhao Wuji could not last ten moves in Flender's hands.

And Zhao Wuji was a Strong Attack Soul Master, thick-skinned and sturdy.

Flender was merely an Agility Attack Soul Master, yet even so, Zhao Wuji still could not last ten moves.

He quickly set his sights on the Golden Claw Bear.

The Golden Claw Bear rubbed the claws on its left arm, its body beginning to tremble slightly.

If the Giant Stone Demon Ape, which had the same strength as itself, could be sent flying with one punch and left in an unknown state of life or death, then it would not fare any better.

Moreover, it absolutely could not die!

Just as she was about to flee, Flender attacked again, fiercely kicking the Golden Claw Bear in the back.

The Golden Claw Bear was sent flying directly from the kick.

However, she was very protective of her abdomen, keeping her arms pressed against it, and landed on her head, tumbling heavily to the ground.

"Ye Lin, you choose,"

Flender clapped his hands and withdrew from his Martial Soul Possession state.

Ye Lin and the others walked out from their hiding spot.

She was the first to look at the Golden Claw Bear closest to them.

The Golden Claw Bear's right arm had been completely torn off.

A large amount of blood gushed from its mouth.

It would only take a light strike with the Immortal Sword to kill it.

The Golden Claw Bear also looked at Ye Lin.

Her bloodline was very strong; although she was only a thousand-year beast, she already possessed intelligence and clearly understood what Ye Lin and the others wanted to do.

She looked at Ye Lin with pleading eyes, and amidst Ye Lin's puzzled gaze, she used the golden claw on her left arm to slash open her own abdomen.

Ye Lin swallowed hard and froze.

The Golden Claw Bear took a half-meter-sized baby Golden Claw Bear out from her abdomen.

She slowly raised her left arm to drag it before Ye Lin, finally placing it on the ground.

The baby Golden Claw Bear had not yet grown black fur; its four limbs were curled together, and its body was soft, pink, and chubby.

"You want me to help you take care of your child?"

The Golden Claw Bear, lying on the ground, nodded with great effort.

But just from that movement, an even more severe surge of blood poured from her mouth.

"Sister Lin, do it,"

"The Golden Claw Bear is clearly not going to make it."

Ma Hongjun's voice rang out; he urged Ye Lin.

Ye Lin looked at the premature baby Golden Claw Bear, then at the dying Golden Claw Bear, and finally at the Immortal Sword in her hand, but she found it difficult to strike.

This was a great Spirit Beast mother.

"If you feel bad for her, Sister Lin, then give her a quick end, and at the same time, take good care of that little Golden Claw Bear."

Xiao Wu also urged Ye Lin.

As a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beast who had taken human form, she understood the thoughts of Spirit Beasts even better.

The Golden Claw Bear grinned its bear mouth at Xiao Wu and then exposed its most vulnerable spot.

"Sigh,"

Ye Lin let out a heavy sigh.

Her Second Soul Ring flashed.

Second Soul Skill, Black and White Shadow.

A clone of Ye Lin walked out from behind her and quickly picked up the baby Golden Claw Bear.

A single Black and White Shadow released at full power could last for a maximum of one hour.

Ye Lin's main body stepped forward and quickly slashed with her sword; the Golden Claw Bear instantly stopped reacting.

The baby Golden Claw Bear seemed to sense something.

Its four limbs began to struggle, but under the soothing of Ye Lin's clone, it soon calmed down again.

A purple Spirit Ring floated up from the Golden Claw Bear's body.

"Ye Lin, absorb it; we will guard you."

Just in case, Flender casually disposed of the Giant Stone Demon Ape, then quickly came to Ye Lin's side, looking around vigilantly.

Ye Lin nodded and sat cross-legged.

The Immortal Sword floated vertically above her right palm, and that purple Spirit Ring swished onto the Immortal Sword.

A powerful and overbearing force rushed rapidly toward Ye Lin's body.

However, regardless of the force's impact, Ye Lin remained as motionless as a lighthouse on the sea.

The blade cut the power apart bit by bit, and finally absorbed it.

There is also a more important first point: modification.

【Ye Lin absorbed a 1,210-year-old Golden Claw Bear Spirit Ring.】

"Change the 'thousand' to 'ten thousand' for me, can you do that?"

【Yes.】

"Then change the 'ten thousand' to 'twenty thousand'?"

【No.】

"I knew it, then change the 'two hundred' to 'two thousand'."

【Yes.】

Now the modification of the age has reached its limit, next is the species of the Spirit Beast.

The bloodline of the Golden Claw Bear is already not weak, but it is not strong enough.

At the top of the bloodline chain belongs the dragon.

"Change 'Claw Bear' to 'Dragon', then it becomes a Golden Dragon, and add 'Five-Clawed' in front of Golden Dragon!"

Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, the symbol of an Emperor.

One day she will become an Empress!

【Modification successful.】

【Ye Lin absorbed a 22,010-year-old Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Soul Ring.】

Half an hour later, the Spirit Ring absorption was complete.

A terrifying aura originating from an Emperor suddenly spread outward, causing the others to feel an urge to prostrate and pay respects in their hearts.

A black Spirit Ring beneath Ye Lin flashed and transformed into a deep purple.

Even if Ye Lin's soul power Moni speed was fast, it could not change the fact that there would be a momentary flicker.

And this very instant was keenly captured by Flender.

The aura released by a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring is on an entirely different level from a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.

He felt that aura which dissipated in a flash, yet he did not see the change in the Spirit Ring's color on Ye Lin.

Although he had doubts in his heart, he did not speak them out.

At the same time, Ye Lin's Clone also received a massive boost.

"Congratulations, Ye Lin, on successfully breaking through to Soul Elder."

Dai Mubai spoke up to congratulate her.

"Come to think of it, you and Xiao Wu are both not yet thirteen years old, right?"

He added jokingly, "But it's a pity that only Xiao Wu alone has created history for Shrek Academy."

Ye Lin smiled and retracted her martial soul, taking that little Golden Claw Bear from the hands of the Clone.

The little Golden Claw Bear struggled continuously with its paws.

Although it was premature, it had still survived by relying on its own powerful bloodline.

This little fellow's vital signs had already returned to normal.

It actually started to cry "wa wa". The cry was truly somewhat shrill, just like an infant wailing with its mouth wide open.

Although everyone present was a person of extraordinary talent,

none of them had ever done something as high-end as raising a Golden Claw Bear!

For a moment, the few people looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what to do.

"I wonder what a Golden Claw Bear eats?"

Ye Lin muttered, she really didn't know.

She had truly never done the work of raising a bear.

Should she call over the battle race?
