"Tang Ni, do you really want this Frost Giant Spirit Bear's Soul Ring?"
Ye Lingling looked at Tang Ni with concern.
Watching the Frost Giant Spirit Bear in the distance, its body still enlarging, she knew it was not to be trifled with. According to common knowledge in the world of Soul Masters, the more powerful the Soul Beast, the more difficult its Soul Ring is to absorb.
The more agitated the Soul Beast's emotions are before death, the stronger its consciousness shock will be. Not to mention, the age of this Frost Giant Spirit Bear was already double the standard limit for a Soul Master's fourth Soul Ring.
Even if Yu Xiaogang's "Limit Soul Ring Theory" had long since become a theory held in contempt by most experts, they surely didn't hold it in such contempt as to ignore it to this extent, did they?
Even if Ye Lingling was willing to trust Tang Ni, wasn't there a suitable Power-system Soul Beast right there? One with a slightly lower age that was much more appropriate.
"No need for others. This is the one."
Tang Ni was incredibly confident in herself.
Since there was a powerful Soul Beast available, why would she choose a weaker one? To defeat Xiao Lin, how could she succeed without challenging herself?
Seeing the determination in Tang Ni's eyes, Ye Lingling didn't know what else to say. She turned her gaze to Xiao Lin instead, hoping he could change Tang Ni's mind. However, Ye Lingling was destined to be disappointed.
Xiao Lin did not believe for a second that Tang Ni couldn't handle the Frost Giant Spirit Bear's Soul Ring. In fact, he completely agreed with Tang Ni's mindset.
"Cough, cough. Since Tang Ni has said so, let's focus on dealing with this Frost Giant Spirit Bear."
With Xiao Lin's word, the matter was essentially settled. The team's goal now was to separate the three Soul Beasts and take down the Frost Giant Spirit Bear.
"I can handle the Frost Giant Spirit Bear alone," Tang Ni said with an air of absolute confidence.
"Then leave the Blue-Eyed Giant Ice Crocodile and the Mysterious Underworld Water Snake to us two brothers. We will draw their aggro, and Ye Lingling can focus on healing us, creating the opportunity for Tang Ni to kill the bear," Shi Mo nodded, taking the initiative to shoulder the other tasks.
"As for Captain Xiao Lin, just play it by ear and adapt to the situation," Shi Mo added somewhat tactfully, avoiding any direct suggestion that Xiao Lin should interfere with the competitive Tang Ni's fight.
"The plan is fine. Let's do it."
Xiao Lin nodded, approving of the allocation. However, compared to Tang Ni, Xiao Lin was actually more worried about the Shi brothers.
"By the way, Shi Mo, Shi Mo—do you two want to try absorbing the Soul Rings of the Blue-Eyed Giant Ice Crocodile and the Mysterious Underworld Water Snake? One has immense strength and defense, and the other possesses the power of Mysterious Underworld Water. Both are extremely suitable for you."
The Shi brothers immediately shook their heads at Xiao Lin's suggestion.
They knew their own limits; they didn't dare attempt to absorb a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring for their fourth slot, even if the compatibility was perfect.
"Alright then. Let's move out."
Xiao Lin understood and directly gave the order to engage.
Just as Xiao Lin's voice fell, the Shi brothers once again unleashed their third soul skill, Black Tortoise Suction.
As the ripples of the suction expanded and locked onto the Blue-Eyed Giant Ice Crocodile and the Mysterious Underworld Water Snake, the two beasts were involuntarily taunted for less than a second.
But that brief moment was all the Frost Giant Spirit Bear needed to find an opening.
In the next instant, the Frost Giant Spirit Bear erupted with violence.
It reacted with lightning speed, slamming a massive paw toward the Mysterious Underworld Water Snake, which had the weaker defense of the two. The bear's palm, sharp as an ice blade, crushed one of the snake's heads as easily as smashing a watermelon.
Just as the bear prepared to strike the second head, the Mysterious Underworld Water Snake broke free from Shi Mo's taunting control due to the intense pain.
It immediately turned tail and fled like a streak of light.
"Roar!"
Having solidified its dominance, the Frost Giant Spirit Bear let out a thunderous roar, its aura becoming even more majestic. On the other side, the moment the Blue-Eyed Giant Ice Crocodile was snared by Shi Mo's control, it managed to break free almost instantly.
Realizing it had lost its fighting companion, the crocodile immediately flattened its body and scurried across the glacier, finally plunging back into the depths of the Mysterious Ice Lake.
The situation on the battlefield shifted in the blink of an eye, leaving Xiao Lin and his team momentarily stunned. They hadn't expected that the heavily injured Frost Giant Spirit Bear would actually possess more speed and power than before.
As a result, their original plan had effectively failed before it even began.
The only silver lining was that the outcome was actually more perfect than the plan. It was now five against one; the advantage was entirely on Xiao Lin's side. Killing the Frost Giant Spirit Bear was no longer a difficult task.
It was at that moment that the bear locked its vicious gaze onto Xiao Lin and his group. As a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast, it possessed intelligence comparable to a human's; it had understood their earlier conversation perfectly.
"Roar!"
The Frost Giant Spirit Bear let out a deafening howl, the sheer volume making everyone's eardrums ache.
Ye Lingling instinctively ducked behind the Shi brothers. By the time the echoes faded, the bear—now standing seven meters tall—was already charging toward the five of them like a runaway mountain.
"Come on then!"
Watching the behemoth rush her, Tang Ni's fighting spirit soared.
It wasn't like she hadn't bullied the children of the Bear Lord before; why would she fear a mere Frost Giant Spirit Bear?
In an instant, Tang Ni summoned her Golden Dragon Martial Soul and gripped her Golden Dragon Spear, charging straight at the bear.
"Golden Dragon Body! Dragon's Strength! Golden Dragon Punch!"
The moment her Martial Soul possessed her, Tang Ni's figure became tall and slender once more, her golden dragon scales shimmering with a brilliant radiance. Her soul rings—one yellow and two purple—flashed and merged into her body.
Soon, the phantom of a golden dragon head appeared at the tip of her Golden Dragon Spear.
With a sharp cry from Tang Ni, the golden dragon head let out a roar that actually suppressed the howl of the Frost Giant Spirit Bear.
"Roar!"
As Tang Ni and the bear closed the distance, they were less than half a meter apart.
Suddenly, a glint of cunning flashed in the bear's eyes. It unhinged its massive jaws, and a beam of icy blue light shot out, striking Tang Ni at point-blank range. In a split second, Tang Ni was encased in solid ice, unable to move.
"Roar!"
The bear roared in triumph, raising a massive paw to crush her. If that strike landed, Tang Ni's fate would likely be no better than that of the snake's crushed head.
However, Tang Ni had survived a year of tempering in the Star Dou Forest. She had encountered tricks like this more times than she could count—though usually, the beasts there used poison, fire, lightning, or water.
Crack!
Before the bear's paw could descend, Tang Ni shattered the ice using nothing but her pure, monstrous physical strength. Not only that, but she was now wearing a cunning smirk of her own. She thrust the Golden Dragon Spear directly against the descending paw.
Schwing!
The indestructible Golden Dragon Spear pierced straight through the bear's paw. The golden dragon head at the tip gouged out a transparent hole the size of a basketball through the limb.
"Ough-roar!"
The Frost Giant Spirit Bear shrieked in agony from the heavy blow.
Most of its monstrous strength evaporated instantly, and its earlier courage vanished along with it. Just as the bear felt the sting of terror and turned to flee, the Golden Dragon Spear had already plunged deep into its chest.
