Three hours later, Shui Bing'er had fully absorbed the ten-thousand-year spirit ring.
Everyone stood up.
Leng Jun handed the faintly glowing blue bone to Shui Bing'er and said with a smile,
"Bing'er, you've finally finished absorbing the spirit ring. This dropped from that Ice Silkworm."
Shui Bing'er took it and examined it carefully.
"Dean Leng, is this a spirit bone?"
"That's right. It's a spiritual-type head spirit bone. It suits you very well go ahead and absorb it."
Looking at the spiritual head bone, Shui Bing'er felt it was hard to believe.
Yan urged,"Bing'er, you're lucky. Your first ten-thousand-year spirit ring and you also happened to obtain a spirit bone. Go ahead and absorb it."
"Okay."
Shui Bing'er sat down to absorb the spirit bone.
The others waited at the side.
In just half an hour, Shui Bing'er had fully absorbed the spiritual head bone.
"Bing'er, congratulations. Your strength has risen to another level."
Xue Wu stepped forward to offer her congratulations.
Yan stood up and had just opened his mouth to speak when he suddenly sensed a powerful soul force fluctuation approaching.
Leng Jun and Xiao Yu almost simultaneously turned toward the entrance of the cave, their eyes filled with vigilance.
Clearly, they had also sensed that sudden soul force fluctuation.
"It seems a powerful soul beast is approaching. Everyone be careful."
After speaking, Leng Jun walked toward the entrance of the cave.
The others quickly followed.
When everyone walked out of the cave, the scene before them made them all draw a sharp breath.
Roughly twenty meters away from the cave entrance stood an enormous soul beast.
It was a gigantic tiger, pitch-black from head to toe.
All of its fur was black, and even the "王" (King) character on its forehead was black.
But unlike the black fur, that "王" symbol had a dark, mist-like blackness, as if it held an endless power of darkness.
Its body was over eight meters long, with bulging muscles that made it look incredibly strong its weight was probably over 3,000 jin.
Compared to ordinary tiger-type soul beasts, its tail was much longer, and it stood upright, composed of many joints, looking quite bizarre.
At the very end of that tail was a huge hooked barb that glowed with a chilling light.
The giant tiger's red eyes were filled with a sinister aura, brimming with greed and cruelty.
It stared fixedly at the people before it, clearly viewing them as prey, ready to pounce at any moment.
Leng Jun also stared at it, not daring to relax for even a second.
He had heard of this kind of ferocious soul beast before but had never seen one with his own eyes.
Today was the first time.
"This looks like a Dark Evil God Tiger. It's cultivated for over fifty thousand years. Everyone, be careful!"
Leng Jun warned the others.
He never would have thought that such an almost extinct soul beast would appear in the Icebound Forest.
From its physical traits, Yan also recognized that it was the Dark Evil God Tiger.
The Dark Evil God Tiger was a special type of soul beast, with evil (evolved from the darkness attribute), space, time, lightning, strength, and wind—six different attributes. It also possessed intelligence no weaker than that of humans, making it extremely difficult to deal with.
Its combat strength was incredibly formidable a ten-thousand-year-level Dark Evil God Tiger dared to challenge other soul beasts at the hundred-thousand-year level.
Its growth didn't come from cultivation, but from devouring the soul force of other soul beasts or human soul masters, so its cultivation rose especially fast.
This particular Dark Evil God Tiger originally lived in the Star Dou Great Forest, but after failing to challenge the status of the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python, it was driven out and eventually fled to the Icebound Forest.
[Note: In the original story, Tang San encounters it several years later. So in this setting, it has not yet devoured enough soul power and is under sixty thousand years in cultivation, having fled here after being injured by Da Ming and Er Ming.]
Facing five human soul masters, the Dark Evil God Tiger did not show a trace of fear, nor the slightest intention to retreat.
Leng Jun was somewhat annoyed:
"A mere fifty-thousand-year soul beast dares to be so arrogant? Watch me teach you a lesson!"
Leng Jun was about to release his martial soul.
"Senior, the Dark Evil God Tiger's strength is no weaker than that of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. We'd better be cautious."
Upon hearing Yan's reminder, Leng Jun looked shocked.
"What? Young man, you know that soul beast?"
"I've read about it in a book from the Spirit Hall. With our current strength, if we rashly confront it, we might fall into its trap."
"What do you mean by that?"
"The Dark Evil God Tiger has extremely powerful speed and attack strength, with near-impenetrable defense. In addition, it possesses a very strange offensive technique. The black hook on its tail can create a massive black hole. Once drawn into that black hole, there's no way to survive."
Upon hearing Yan's explanation, the others were even more shocked.
Leng Jun said calmly.
"Young man, if what you said is true, then it really is quite powerful. However, I am at least a Soul Douluo. If I get scared off by a soul beast, wouldn't I be a laughingstock if word got out?"
After speaking, Leng Jun released his Snow Leopard martial soul without hesitation, along with two yellow, two purple, and four black soul rings.
The Snow Leopard appeared with a majestic figure, its body agile, muscles taut, and eyes gleaming with an icy light.
Leng Jun's aura surged with the release of the Snow Leopard martial soul. The surrounding air was frozen by this aura, forming layers of fine ice crystals.
As his fourth soul ring shone brightly, Leng Jun launched his fourth soul skill—Ice Claw Rend!
He swung his arms forward fiercely, and his hands, enveloped by soul power, instantly turned into sharp ice claws, gleaming with a chilling light, slashing toward the Dark Evil God Tiger.
Faced with the fierce incoming attack, the Dark Evil God Tiger didn't move a muscle.
Just as the ice claws were about to touch it, a layer of gray light suddenly emerged around its body.
"Evil God Shield!"
Yan exclaimed, his face turning grave.
He knew that this layer of light, although thin, had incredibly powerful defense. Even a Title Douluo would find it hard to break.
Sure enough!
Under the tearing force of the ice claws, the gray shield remained motionless, as if an invisible power was protecting the Dark Evil God Tiger.
The extremely sharp ice claws didn't even leave a scratch.
Leng Jun's expression also turned serious. Only now did he realize how terrifying the Dark Evil God Tiger's defense was his attack was completely ineffective.
The probing attack ended in failure, but Leng Jun was not one to give up easily.
At that moment, the Dark Evil God Tiger suddenly moved.
It let out a deafening roar and instantly released dozens of black-red light blades that carved eerie arcs in the air, shooting toward Leng Jun and the others.
Shui Bing'er was already prepared for battle and released her Ice Phoenix martial soul. At this moment, her second soul ring also lit up.
Seeing this, Yan shouted:
"Don't defend, dodge quickly!"
Before his words fully fell, he leapt into the air with Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu.
The powerful light blades sped through the air and crashed into the ice mountain with a deafening boom. The ice cave collapsed instantly.
The dual-colored light blade attack unleashed by the Dark Evil God Tiger was a fusion of wind and evil attributes.
The powerful cutting force of the wind attribute combined with the fierce corrosion of the evil attribute made it incredibly destructive no less than a fifty-thousand-year soul skill of a human soul master.
Faced with such a powerful attack, Shui Bing'er's Ice Ring Armor had no resistance.
If Yan hadn't carried her away in time to evade the strike, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
