With Davis's speed, it took less than half an hour to reach the nearby Soul Hunting Forest, a vast territory teeming with countless soul beasts.
Here, hundred-year beasts roamed everywhere, thousand-year ones were as common as stray dogs, and even ten-thousand-year beasts were not unheard of.
Once inside, Davis activated his Evil Eyes of Ice and Fire, releasing his spiritual power to search for a soul beast suited for Tang Yuehua.
Tang Yuehua's martial spirit was the Ruyi Ring. After consuming the Geng Metal Fruit, her martial spirit had developed a faint metallic attribute. Though the enhancement was weak, it still granted her some degree of combat capability.
Because of that, soul beasts of metal, earth, or strength attributes would all benefit her cultivation—
metal-type being the best choice, earth-type next, and strength-type the last. After all, she was a woman—was she supposed to become a muscle-bound warrior?
Davis chuckled inwardly. He certainly didn't want his wife turning into some kind of metallic giantess.
After half an hour of searching, he finally found one—a five-thousand-eight-hundred-year-old Diamond Tiger.
The beast was nearly six meters long, its body lined with jagged fangs and saw-like claws. Its slender tail lashed like a steel whip, and the air around it pulsed with savage, violent energy.
"A Diamond Tiger?"
Davis's eyes widened slightly. This soul beast was all too familiar—after all, his third soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, had come from one just like it.
"Yuehua, what do you think of this one?"
Tang Yuehua's eyes shimmered with determination as she gazed down at the roaring beast. Battle spirit burned within her pupils as she nodded firmly. "Perfect. It suits me very well."
"Good. Then I'll weaken it for you, and you can finish it off yourself," Davis said, already preparing to strike. But before he could act, Tang Yuehua caught his wrist and shook her head.
"Husband, you stay in the tree. This one's mine."
"W–What…?" Davis blinked in disbelief.
She was going to fight it herself? That was a five-thousand-year Diamond Tiger!
"Yuehua, you plan to take on that beast alone?"
She giggled softly. "Why? Can't I?"
"But Yuehua, that's a five-thousand—"
Before he could even finish, Tang Yuehua had already released her martial spirit, smiling radiantly. "Just watch me. I haven't been idle these past two and a half years. I'll prove to you that your wife is not just a pretty face! Geng Metal Domain!"
As she leapt from the tree, a wave of invisible metallic energy spread outward, enveloping several hundred meters of space.
At her current rank of forty, this domain enhanced her attack power by forty percent—and even granted limited armor-piercing capabilities.
Sensing the domain's presence, the Diamond Tiger's eyes narrowed. The sharp metallic aura filled the air, thick with killing intent. With an ear-splitting roar, it threw back its head and charged toward her.
"ROAR!!!"
The piercing sound nearly shook the forest, but Tang Yuehua—no stranger to pressure—stood unflinching.
Her first soul ring flared to life. The Ruyi Ring's edges lengthened, sprouting fine, rotating serrations until it resembled a deadly circular saw.
She flicked her wrist, and the Ruyi Ring spun from her hand like a blazing boomerang, slicing through the air with a whistling shriek.
"First Soul Skill—Spiral Gear!"
The whirling ring sped toward the Diamond Tiger's face. Sensing danger, the beast roared and swung its claws to block the incoming weapon.
CLANG!
The two collided with a sharp metallic crack, sparks scattering as the saw-edge bit into flesh.
"ROAR!"
The Diamond Tiger snarled in pain—Davis could see from above that its massive claw had been cut open, crimson blood dripping freely.
"The Ruyi Ring's material is incredibly dense, and with those serrations—combined with the power of her Geng Metal Domain—it's no surprise she managed to wound it," Davis murmured. "It seems Yuehua really has grown stronger."
His eyes gleamed as he continued to observe. "Still, a five-thousand-year Diamond Tiger won't go down so easily. What's your next move, Yuehua?"
"ROAR!!!"
Enraged, the Diamond Tiger's killing intent erupted. Its muscles tensed, and it lunged straight at her with terrifying ferocity.
Tang Yuehua's pupils contracted, but instead of fear, exhilaration flared in her gaze. Her third soul ring lit up.
"Perfect timing! Third Soul Skill—Controlled Command!"
With a graceful wave of her hand, the Ruyi Ring responded instantly, spinning back toward her before launching again at even greater speed.
True to its name, this ability allowed her to control the Ruyi Ring as if it were part of her body, executing complex maneuvers with perfect precision.
The weapon curved through the air like a fired cannon shell, slamming hard into the Diamond Tiger's back.
"ROAR!"
The beast bellowed in agony as deep, bleeding gashes opened across its hide, scarlet blood splattering the ground.
But the Diamond Tiger was beyond reasoning—it wanted only to rip its foe apart.
Tang Yuehua's eyes flickered. Channeling her Xuantian Technique, she gathered soul power into her legs and leapt agilely into a nearby tree, evading the tiger's furious charge.
The beast struck the trunk with a deafening crash, splintering it instantly. As it fell, Yuehua darted gracefully to another branch.
Davis's eyes narrowed, intrigued. He had assumed she was already at her limit, but the calm confidence on her face told a different story.
What was she planning next?
Then—her second soul ring shone brightly.
"Second Soul Skill—Sharpened Serrations!"
Instantly, the teeth along the Ruyi Ring grew longer and keener, glinting coldly. Their sharpness rivaled even his own Holy Sovereign Sword.
A faint smile played at Yuehua's lips as she manipulated her weapon. "Now… taste my self-created technique—The Chaotic Blade of Tempestuous Winds!"
WHIRRRR!
The Ruyi Ring spun wildly, cutting through the air with an ear-splitting shriek. It struck again and again, carving deep wounds across the Diamond Tiger's body in a relentless flurry.
Enhanced by her second soul skill, each impact grew more destructive, the power building with every rotation.
Watching from above, realization dawned on Davis's face. His eyes lit up.
"So that's it! Yuehua, you clever woman… you're using the Ruyi Ring to imitate the Random Cloak Hammer Technique!"
Indeed—though she lacked the Haotian Hammer or the raw strength to wield it, Tang Yuehua had adapted its principle perfectly. By using her Controlled Command skill to manipulate the Ruyi Ring's movements, she replicated the hammer technique's continuous momentum and explosive buildup of power.
She had transformed it—
into her very own art: The Chaotic Blade of Tempestuous Winds!
