Chapter 585: E Lai's Ninth Ring: Countless Spirit Beast Corpses

"What immense power, it is hard to imagine that this fellow is merely a Spirit Douluo; he is simply born for battle." The eyes of the Ice and Snow Emperors were filled with admiration as they looked at Dian Wei.

They had rarely seen a human with such high fighting spirit and such excellent combat proficiency.

In battle, his exterior was like a ferocious beast, high-spirited and hot-blooded, yet his heart remained calm and composed; he was a natural god of war.

If the Ice and Snow Emperors felt admiration, then Nan Feiling was filled with love.

She rushed forward, wrapping her arms around Dian Wei's arm, which was much thicker than her own thigh, and said, "Haha, Han Han, you are so amazing! Even a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast is no match for you at all. Aside from my younger brother, you are the strongest man in the world. You are worthy of being this Princess's fiancé."

Although she always touted that this Han Han had no other merits besides being able to fight.

But the merit of being able to fight alone was enough to cover all his shortcomings, because he was truly too capable in a fight; after all, this was a world where power was respected.

It didn't matter if you were the child of some prince or noble, a dashing young talent of letters, or a gentle and romantic gentleman.

Once the words "Title Douluo" were uttered, everyone would have to step aside for me.

Dian Wei was now twenty-one years old, having achieved the Title Douluo only one year later than Nan Feihuang; what peerless talent this was.

Moreover, it was not that Dian Wei actually lacked other merits; although his intelligence was not high, he was gentle, honest, and loyal.

In his entire life, aside from Nan Feihuang and Nan Feiling, he would never give his heart to a third person. Being with him, Nan Feiling felt full of security; she was truly so satisfied with this fiancé! Feihuang pulled this lively third sister away from Dian Wei's embrace and said, "Alright, don't just focus on celebrating. E Lai, go quickly and absorb the Spirit Ring to advance to Title Douluo, and while you're at it, think of a title for yourself. And Sister, now is not the time for you to act spoiled. Use your earth-type soul skill to pull the corpse of that Violent Lizard out from below. Don't forget, it is a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast. Since it was slain by E Lai, it will inevitably produce other soul bones that E Lai does not yet possess. Take them out and let E Lai absorb them together."

"Yes!" Dian Wei obediently walked to the center of that red Spirit Ring, using his soul power to guide the ring and envelop himself.

"Oh right, I can't forget my Han Han's soul bone!" Nan Feiling only then remembered that a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast must drop a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bone. She immediately arrived at the place where the Violent Lizard died, pressed her hands against the ground, and expanded an earth-type formation, "Third Soul Skill, Earth Dragon Formation!"

Beneath the ground, an earth dragon used its tail to coil around the Violent Lizard's corpse and lifted it upward.

Just at this moment, Nan Feiling seemed to have discovered something, "Strange, it seems like under this ground..."

She immediately summoned three more earth dragons and dragged everything from beneath the ground up.

It was actually a huge pile of Spirit Beast corpses, all of which were fire-attribute Spirit Beasts.

"This... why are there so many corpses buried underground?" Nan Feiling asked in surprise.

"There is nothing strange about it. In order to unleash its Flame Blood Explosion at any time, that Violent Lizard deliberately collected so many corpses." Nan Feihuang ignored those corpses and walked straight to the Violent Lizard's corpse, using his soul power to probe its body.

He probed the head first.

After all, Dian Wei now had all four limbs filled with soul bones, so what would be produced would inevitably be either a head bone or a torso bone.

Considering the probability, Feihuang first searched for the secondary head bone, but he found nothing. Instead of worrying, he was happy.

Since it did not appear in the limbs, and it was not in the head, then without a doubt, it was the most precious torso part. Feihuang did not hesitate; his hand-blade slashed lightly, his soul power turning into a sharp blade, and he sliced open the Violent Lizard's abdomen. Sure enough, a fire-red torso bone, radiating a rich glow of soul power, flew out from within.

"A torso bone, it's a torso bone! That's great, now Han Han will become even stronger." Nan Feiling was even more joyful than Dian Wei himself.

After all, there was no difference between Dian Wei becoming stronger and herself becoming stronger.

Nan Feihuang handed the soul bone to Nan Feiling, "Wait for E Lai to wake up, and then you can give it to him to absorb."

Nan Feiling nodded, "Understood, younger brother."

Shui Bing'er walked to the numerous Spirit Beast corpses and said with a heavy heart, "So many Spirit Beasts have died; let us bury them."

She did not have a saintly heart; from the first day she became a Spirit Master, she had prepared herself to hunt Spirit Beasts.

But just as in the ancient times when Spirit Beasts ate humans for survival, and now when Spirit Masters hunt a Spirit Beast to advance, hunting without wanton killing is a principle held in the hearts of most legitimate Spirit Masters.

The Spirit Hall, the Upper Three Sects, and the Two Great Empires had all issued strict orders prohibiting any Spirit Master from hunting Spirit Beasts in large quantities for the sake of obtaining soul bones.

The Spirit Hall even demarcated forests for Spirit Beasts, not allowing Spirit Masters to enter at will. If one wanted to enter, one had to first go to the nearest Spirit Hall branch for a soul power test, and only after confirming that one had indeed reached the advancement standard could one obtain a temporary token to enter and hunt one Spirit Beast to advance.

The purpose of doing this was to prevent Spirit Beasts from being wantonly slaughtered; otherwise, it would result in future generations having no Spirit Rings to absorb.

Seeing so many Spirit Beast corpses at once, Shui Bing'er inevitably felt they were pitiful; she had always been a kind-hearted girl.

"Alright, Senior Sister, I will help you, but before that, we must check them thoroughly." Feihuang nodded and looked at Xun Yu, "Wenruo, I leave it to you."

"This subject understands!" Xun Yu responded and took out his Military Talisman martial soul, "Soul Skill, Ambush Formation!"

Xun Yu summoned thirty soldiers in one breath and searched through those Spirit Beast corpses.

Shui Bing'er asked in confusion, "Junior Brother, Wenruo, what are you doing?"

"Did Miss Bing'er not hear what that Yan Wang said just now? It was previously chased by Bingdi and went into hiding; it was only in the last few days, feeling that Bingdi had performed the Sacrifice and was no longer in the Extreme North, that it dared to show its head. This means it only returned a few days ago." Xun Yu replied, "These dead Spirit Beasts must have been collected by it to use the Flame Blood Explosion against the Ice Jade Scorpion clan. After all, no matter how strong it is, it is impossible for one to deal with an entire clan; two fists are no match for four hands."

"Based on this deduction, these Spirit Beasts should have all been killed by it in the few days since it returned. After all, if a Spirit Beast had been dead for too long, the soul power in its body would inevitably have dissipated, and even its blood would have dried up, eventually leaving behind a pile of skeletons, while the flesh and blood would have turned into nutrients to nourish the earth. In such a situation, how could it use them to unleash its Flame Blood Explosion?"

"I understand, so these Spirit Beasts that haven't been dead for long might possibly have soul bones in their bodies." Shui Bing'er was indeed clever and understood immediately.

Xun Yu smiled and nodded; that was exactly it.

They would not hunt Spirit Beasts in large quantities for the sake of soul bones, but since the corpses of already dead Spirit Beasts were placed before them, there was no problem with checking them; they didn't kill them, they were just picking up scraps.

If there were any, that would be best; if not, it didn't matter. At worst, they would just give them a proper burial as a return afterward.
