Chapter 103: Golden Twin Swords Upgrade, Battle Against the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger
As soon as Lingxu left Wuhun City, he actually discovered that someone was following him.
With his Mental Power having reached Level 93, Lingxu's sensory abilities had increased significantly, so he had long since detected that Ghost Douluo was tracking him.
Only after traveling ten kilometers outside Wuhun City did Lingxu stop; he then condensed his soul power into a golden light and struck at a patch of forest behind him.
With a "Bang!", a black shadow flashed out from the forest.
Lingxu then closed in rapidly and threw a punch.
Lingxu could see the black shadow very clearly; it was undoubtedly Ghost Douluo.
Ghost Douluo was caught somewhat off guard by this sudden attack.
Originally, given the gap between him and Lingxu, he only needed to use his speed to dodge Lingxu's attack, but in the end, he found that he couldn't dodge it at all.
Lingxu's speed had already exceeded his imagination.
"Overestimating yourself!" Ghost Douluo naturally did not take Lingxu, this Level 77 Soul Saint, seriously.
Clenching his fist to meet Lingxu's punch, he was very confident as a Level 94.
But the moment their fists made contact, Ghost Douluo regretted it.
With a "Bang!", Ghost Douluo immediately retracted his fist and retreated; how the hell could this be the power a Soul Saint could possess?
A sharp, intense pain spread throughout his entire body; if one more hit like that came, he estimated his own bones would break.
However, Lingxu did not give him any chance, as his fists were already raining down, and Ghost Douluo could only respond in a rush.
Lingxu's power was already sufficient, and next, Lingxu directly used the Eight Extremities Fist, further increasing the destructive power of his punches.
With a few "Boom—" sounds, Ghost Douluo took three punches to his body, and the sound of the punches was accompanied by the faint sound of bones breaking.
It was just that if one didn't listen carefully, one wouldn't be able to hear it.
The bones in both of Ghost Douluo's fists were fractured, he took a punch to his shoulder, and his collarbone was broken as well.
Essentially, both his hands were crippled, and the speed was so fast that he hadn't even been able to unleash a soul skill.
"Considering you are still a member of the Spirit Hall, I will spare you this time. If there is a next time, I will definitely not show mercy."
Lingxu moved away, but his voice kept echoing in Ghost Douluo's mind.
After waiting for about five or six minutes, Chrysanthemum Douluo arrived at the scene, looked at the injured Guimei, and said, "Old Ghost, what happened to you?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo had an expression of disbelief; there weren't many people who could injure Ghost Douluo during this period.
Ghost Douluo endured the pain and said, "It was that guy Lingxu. His power has actually far surpassed mine."
"Surpassed you?" Chrysanthemum Douluo was also a bit puzzled, as he knew that in terms of pure power, he wasn't even as strong as Ghost Douluo, yet Lingxu had been able to injure Guimei with power alone.
Just then, Bibi Dong appeared before the two of them.
"Trash. Lingxu's soul power is only that of a Soul Saint, and you are already Titled Douluo; how could you be so pathetic?" Bibi Dong said.
Hearing this, Ghost Douluo himself felt embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"Your Majesty, should we continue the pursuit?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked.
"Pursue!" Bibi Dong said coldly.
In truth, by this time, Bibi Dong already felt a bit of regret in her heart, especially regarding how she treated Lingxu.
At first, Lingxu could only be considered to have good talent, but later he became monstrous, and in the end, it was simply unbelievable and beyond imagination.
Had she known Lingxu had this capability, she should have thought more about how to treat him back then.
But it was too late to say anything now; the seeds of hatred had already been sown, and with Yu Xiaogang's injury, it was destined that she would not let Lingxu go.
Yet, after Bibi Dong pursued for a long time, she simply could not find a trace of Lingxu.
In reality, after fighting Ghost Douluo, Lingxu had flown high into the sky and left after a short sprint, so Bibi Dong naturally could not find him.
After all, the two were now nearly a hundred kilometers apart, and Bibi Dong was completely unable to locate Lingxu's position.
"Damn it, it seems this brat already has the ability to fight against a Titled Douluo. To deal with him, I must first obtain a God Position."
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong still had confidence.
No matter how powerful you are, what about Qian Daoliu?
Without becoming a god, one is just an ordinary person; how could the Angel God Position be something that a non-Angel Spirit could covet?
How difficult it is to find a God Position!
As long as this brat has no opportunity to become a god in the future, she doesn't need to be overly afraid.
But Lingxu would always be a disruptor of her future plans.
"It seems I must adjust my plan," Bibi Dong said indifferently.
……
At this moment, Lingxu was truly free to soar through the sky.
Lingxu's purpose in leaving Wuhun City was also to improve himself.
There was no way to increase his soul power in a short time, so Lingxu's main purpose for coming out was only one: to increase the power of his External Spirit Bone, the Golden Twin Swords.
Currently, they were only just over five thousand years old; it would be fine if he were facing ordinary Spirit Masters, but if he were to use them to fight against Qianjun or Demon Douluo...
He estimated they would shatter after a few hits from the Dragon-Coiling Staff.
Therefore, Lingxu needed to use these forty-plus days in the Star Dou Great Forest to absorb Spirit Beasts and upgrade this spirit bone.
He took a look at the system panel; currently, the most important thing he could improve was this External Spirit Bone.
Host: Lingxu (Holy Master of Lingxue Sacred Land)
Status: Healthy
Soul Power: Level 89
Mental Power: Level 93
First Martial Soul: Six-Winged Holy Light Tiger
Spirit Rings: Purple (1,815 years), Purple (1,930 years), Purple (3,023 years), Black (12,236 years), Black (25,685 years), Black (50,128 years), Red (10,000 years)
Second martial soul: Five Tiger Soul-Severing Spear
Spirit Ring: None
Soul bone: Spirit Wisdom Skull (83,550 years), External Spirit Bone Golden Twin Swords (5,125 years), External Spirit Bone Golden Armor (84,339 years)
Cultivation method: Lingxue Sacred Heart Art (Ninth Layer)
Skills: Phantom Shadow Steps (Great Success), Eight Extremities Fist (Great Success), Breath Concealment Technique (Great Success), Eye of Truth (Great Success), Nine Styles of Soul Severing (Minor Success)
Domain: Holy Light Domain (Elementary)
Current Lingxue Sacred Land members: 502
Members capable of gaining cultivation effects: 501
Looking at the system, besides this External Spirit Bone Golden Twin Swords, Lingxu could also use this time to practice the Nine Styles of Soul Severing to Great Success.
Although this martial soul is currently inferior to the Six-Winged Holy Light Tiger, the power of these Nine Styles of Soul Severing is not low; if executed with Lingxu's current Level 89 soul power, a full set would definitely have the attack power of a 100,000-year spirit skill.
Practicing it to Great Success could also become a means for himself during battle.
It can be said that Lingxu is not letting go of any method that can improve himself right now.
From Wuhun City to the Star Dou Great Forest is only a few hundred kilometers; Lingxu entered the forest in less than half a day.
However, hundred-year or thousand-year Spirit Beasts were not Lingxu's target; he had to start at ten-thousand-year ones at the very least.
Given the density of Spirit Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, Lingxu killing a hundred or so would not be affected in the slightest.
While deep in thought, Lingxu discovered a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast ahead.
A 13,000-year Black Scale Snake, its body length already exceeded ten meters, and Lingxu rarely released his Soul-Breaking Spear martial soul.
Swish...
Lingxu raised his spear and charged up, intentionally lowering his own strength, and then began to practice the Nine Styles of Soul Severing on it.
But the strength of this Spirit Beast was indeed too low; after fighting for less than half an incense stick of time, it was already covered in wounds and unable to hold on, constantly trying to flee.
Precisely because of this, Lingxu ended its life with one spear strike.
Afterwards, Lingxu inserted the Golden Twin Swords into its body, and the Golden Twin Swords were also growing crazily.
After about an incense stick of time, the absorption was complete, and the Golden Twin Swords had also improved to over 8,000 years.
Looking at this growth rate, Lingxu was somewhat expectant; in these forty-some days, he might be able to upgrade the Golden Twin Swords into a 100,000-year External Spirit Bone.
Just like this, Lingxu shuttled through the Star Dou Great Forest, hunting Spirit Beasts.
On the first day, in less than half a day, Lingxu hunted four ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts, and the Golden Twin Swords increased to over 20,000 years.
On the second day, Lingxu hunted ten ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts, the lowest being 16,000 years and the highest over 30,000 years; the Golden Twin Swords improved to 49,000 years, already approaching 50,000 years.
It was a pity that not a single soul bone appeared among the dozen or so Spirit Beasts.
It wasn't until five days later that Lingxu killed a 65,000-year Spirit Beast and finally obtained a soul bone.
After absorbing this Spirit Ring, the External Spirit Bone Golden Twin Swords had already reached 99,999 years, seemingly stuck in a bottleneck.
A 65,000-year soul bone, the quality is good, but unfortunately it is not suitable for Lingxu; it could be given to his mother, Luo Xingyue, to use instead.
His father Ling Bufan's soul bones are already full, while Luo Xingyue currently only has one soul bone on her.
"This 60,000-year Spirit Beast only increased it by less than fifty years; fortunately, it has already allowed me to see the limit. A few more Spirit Beasts and it should reach 100,000 years."
Compared to the other External Spirit Bone, Golden Armor, the improvement of the Golden Twin Swords is truly the most simple and crude.
However, Lingxu's crazy hunting of Spirit Beasts over the past few days also aroused the covetousness of another powerful Spirit Beast in the forest.
And just as Lingxu found a valley, he heard a tiger roar; the next moment, Lingxu looked at the Spirit Beast before him, no longer having his previous composure—there was excitement, worry, and even more so, a kind of longing.
This was a tiger Spirit Beast, a giant tiger that was pure black all over, without a trace of any other color.
Its red eyes were filled with a sinister aura, and its body length exceeded eight meters.
Its muscles were bulging all over, and its weight was likely over 3,000 catties.
The "King" character on this black tiger's forehead was also black, but unlike the black of its fur, it was a gloomy black like mist, which made one's hair stand on end just looking at it.
But the most peculiar thing was its tail; compared to ordinary tiger Spirit Beasts, its tail was much longer, and it stood upright, composed of countless bone segments.
The biggest feature was at the very tip of the tail, where there was a huge barb, flashing with a chilling, eerie light.
Who else could this be but the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?
It is also capable of devouring Spirit Beasts to improve; hasn't Lingxu been devouring them these past few days too?
Perhaps it feels that in this Spirit Beast forest, only it should exist as one capable of devouring Spirit Beasts.
So it appeared on its own initiative to kill me?
And what Lingxu worried about was that the combat power of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is extremely strong; even the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python could not take it down in a one-on-one fight.
One can imagine how powerful this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger before him was already over 60,000 years old; Lingxu could basically conclude that it was the very one Tang San hunted.
It's a pity Lingxu only has Level 89 soul power, otherwise he would really want to absorb its Spirit Ring.
However, Lingxu still has a second martial soul, the Five Tiger Soul-Severing Spear.
What is the thing dual-martial-soul users fear most?
The body cannot support it, which is why the original work requires people to add Spirit Rings to their second martial soul only after reaching Level 90.
However, Lingxu's body is currently absolutely that of a Title Douluo of Level 96 or higher, so it is not difficult at all for Lingxu to add a Spirit Ring to his second martial soul now.
"Since this battle is unavoidable, then let's fight."
Lingxu put away the Five Tiger Soul-Severing Spear, preparing to release the Six-Winged Holy Light Tiger.
To deal with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, Lingxu must bring out his full strength.
At the same time, he must avoid entering a battle with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in its space, where both would be at the six-year-old stage.
At that stage, Lingxu's chance of killing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is almost zero, and the probability of his own death is absolutely 100%.
Therefore, Lingxu was exceptionally careful in this battle.
Roar...
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger lunged forward, and Lingxu also activated his Martial Soul Avatar; the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger possessed many attributes, and so did Lingxu.
Lingxu's holy attribute was precisely what could restrain its dark attribute.
The 100,000-year Martial Soul Avatar was released, accompanied by the appearance of Lingxu's Holy Light Domain; besides enhancing himself and suppressing his opponent, this domain exerted double the suppression on those possessing dark attributes.
Therefore, within his domain, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's power would be suppressed by 20%.
Lingxu, meanwhile, could increase his own by about 10%.
With one side weakening and the other strengthening, this was Lingxu's greatest asset in fighting the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the air immediately felt the restrictions on its body, but it still tried its best to complete its attack.
While in the state of his Martial Soul Avatar, Lingxu released his External Spirit Bone, the Golden Twin Swords, which had just been upgraded to 99,999 years.
A cross-shaped sword light slashed across.
A miserable shriek erupted from the mouth of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
With a 100,000-year soul skill Martial Soul Avatar, Lingxu's improvement was by no means ordinary.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger landed, and it also wanted to activate its own domain, but unfortunately, its domain was suppressed under Lingxu's domain, disappearing as soon as it was released.
This was the suppression of the dark attribute by the holy attribute; of course, this was also because Lingxu possessed this ability now—if it were before the Angel God Trial, Lingxu might not have been able to achieve such 100% suppression even with a domain.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger felt extremely uncomfortable under Lingxu's Holy Light Domain, and being rational, it actually wanted to flee as soon as the battle began.
Encountering an opponent it couldn't beat and fleeing—this was also the reason it was able to reach over 60,000 years of cultivation by devouring others.
After all, in this Spirit Beast forest, other Spirit Beasts would not allow an existence like it to remain.
For example, in its battles against the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, it could fight if one came, and although it couldn't win if two came, they couldn't do anything to stop it if it wanted to flee.
Seeing this, Lingxu immediately rushed over; the moment the opponent wanted to flee was the best time for his own attack.
Lingxu's eight Spirit Rings were seen lighting up simultaneously; clearly, Lingxu was about to use his eighth Spirit Ring soul skill.
This Spirit Ring was bestowed by the system, and the 100,000-year Spirit Ring also had two soul skills.
One of the 100,000-year soul skills was Ice Fire!
That is to say, an attack with ice and fire attributes!
A blue and red attack was launched, continuously rotating in the air and merging together to strike directly at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
Seeing this, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger also activated its own defensive skill!
While fleeing, its Evil God Hook instantly erupted with a layer of intense gray airflow to protect its body.
This was the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's most powerful defensive skill, named Evil God Protection.
Evil God Protection could instantly protect its body by relying on the aura of the Evil God, and its defensive effect could even be said to approach absolute defense.
It was only slightly lower than the limit of absolute defense, but the duration of the defense was very long, and it was not restricted by its own movements.
Therefore, this skill was the best for escaping!
It was not that it did not want to fight, but that there were too many restrictions under the opponent's domain, and it simply could not exert its own advantages.
