Chapter 19: Spear of Thunder

Zhang Lexuan and Lin Qinghan were both extremely fast and soon arrived at an unusual forest.

As soon as they approached, Lin Qinghan clearly felt that the lightning element around him was getting stronger. Moreover, special trees with a light blue body and some lightning-like patterns on them could be seen everywhere.

Lin Qinghan couldn't name these special trees, but they were similar to the ones he saw when he hunted for his first soul ring—except that the ones here were obviously much taller.

"In the center of such a special forest, there lives a special soul beast with dual attributes of spirit and lightning," Zhang Lexuan explained as they moved forward, not forgetting to share knowledge with Lin Qinghan.

"That soul beast is called the Spirit Thunder Beast, and its innate skill is to launch a spear-shaped dual-attribute attack of lightning and spirit. According to the description in the book, the attack of this soul beast's innate skill also has a physical state. Your mental power is so strong, and your martial soul also has lightning attributes. This soul beast is just right for you."

Zhang Lexuan didn't realize that Lin Qinghan had more than one martial soul. Seeing that he was somewhat lacking in knowledge about soul beasts, she couldn't help but start lecturing.

Lin Qinghan was a little speechless. "Big sister, you're talking too much."

But he couldn't say anything more. After all, Zhang Lexuan's original intention was good. He could only listen while going deeper into the jungle, comforting himself that it would definitely be useful in battle later.

As the two continued to go deeper, the special blue trees became denser, and more trees with a little light gold appeared.

Obviously, they were approaching the central area.

Zhang Lexuan stopped talking at this point and focused on finding the target soul beast. However, she was feeling a little embarrassed.

In terms of searching, Lin Qinghan's powerful spiritual standpoint clearly outperformed her. She seemed to only play the role of leading the way.

Finally, under Lin Qinghan's spiritual projection, he detected the entire central circle and found a suitable target soul beast.

The beast hadn't noticed the two under Lin Qinghan's spiritual cover. At that moment, it was leisurely gnawing on a light blue special tree—gnawing from the trunk, no less.

To Lin Qinghan, this Spirit Thunder Beast resembled a capybara—harmless-looking and docile in appearance. It was hard for him to connect it with the powerful beast Zhang Lexuan had described, one that possessed a devastating innate soul skill.

"This spirit beast is just right for you. It looks like it's nearly 60,000 years old. Are you sure you can absorb it?" Zhang Lexuan asked, seemingly wanting to make up for being unhelpful earlier. She released her martial spirit and soul rings—the sixth black soul ring flashing, clearly preparing to strike.

Fortunately, Lin Qinghan's spiritual projection still cloaked them. Otherwise, the target soul beast might have fled.

"Close to 60,000 years old? It's okay," Lin Qinghan nodded.

In an instant, Zhang Lexuan's sixth soul skill was unleashed. A slash like a moon blade flashed by, and the Spirit Thunder Beast was split in half at the waist.

"Hurry, hurry up, it won't live long," Zhang Lexuan urged.

Lin Qinghan nodded, and his mental standpoint instantly released a mental attack. A terrifying mental wave swept through. The Spirit Thunder Beast, still barely alive a moment ago, completely lost all life. A black mist floated from its body and soon condensed into a deep black soul ring.

A soul beast close to 60,000 years old had been slain in mere seconds by the two of them.

"You are only level 40 now. Can you really absorb a soul ring of nearly 60,000 years?" Zhang Lexuan's voice rang out just as Lin Qinghan was about to step forward.

After Lin Qinghan confirmed again, he quickly approached the black soul ring. Without hesitation, he sat cross-legged, and the black soul ring instantly enveloped him under his guidance.

Seeing Lin Qinghan begin to absorb the soul ring without any signs of rejection, Zhang Lexuan breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't that she was overly worried—absorbing a soul ring of this level at only level 40 was truly incredible. Normally, only Soul Saints or even Soul Douluo could attempt such a feat.

Lin Qinghan felt the absorption process was particularly smooth this time, though he chalked it up to the contrast with the extremely difficult absorption of the Ice Emperor's spirit ring before.

Five hours later, Lin Qinghan completed the absorption. He opened his eyes, and a flash of joy appeared in them.

Level 45!

Even though the Ice Emperor's spirit ring had sealed most of its energy, it still contained an enormous amount. Combined with the energy from the nearly 60,000-year soul ring he just absorbed, he had directly broken through to level 45.

"Is the absorption complete? Can you show me your soul skills?" Zhang Lexuan asked, amazed again after finally seeing Lin Qinghan's spirit ring lineup.

His first soul ring was actually a thousand years old!

Now she was very curious—after obtaining the fourth soul ring, what level could Lin Qinghan's attack reach?

After all, he had managed to injure a 100,000-year-old soul beast before, even if it had already been wounded.

Lin Qinghan nodded and didn't refuse Zhang Lexuan's slightly forward request. The fourth soul ring flashed, and a thunder spear appeared in his hand.

Unlike the innate soul skill of the Spirit Thunder Beast, Lin Qinghan's thunder spear was clearly more condensed and accompanied by terrifying mental fluctuations.

He raised the spear and hurled it into the woods ahead. In an instant, it shot forward at extreme speed.

A thunderous explosion followed. A large swath of trees disappeared, and a deep pit remained on the ground.

"The thunder spear can not only be held as a weapon but also thrown to attack," Lin Qinghan said thoughtfully. It seemed it could be manually thrown or launched using mental power—finally giving his bioelectric martial soul a standard, powerful offensive soul skill.

"Your soul skill isn't any weaker than a full-strength attack from a high-level Soul Saint without activating their martial soul true body," Zhang Lexuan said, impressed but not overly shocked—after all, Lin Qinghan had defeated a 100,000-year-old soul beast before.

Lin Qinghan had anticipated that the power of his new soul skill wouldn't surpass that of his third. That one was too unreasonable—while extremely energy-consuming, it remained his strongest offensive skill.

"The goal has been achieved. Let's withdraw," Lin Qinghan said, ready to leave the Star Dou Great Forest.

Zhang Lexuan quickly asked, "Are you going to Shrek Academy? With your talent, you'll definitely be trained by the academy."

Isn't this sister miserable enough already? She's still trying to recruit for Shrek Academy?

Lin Qinghan was a bit speechless.

"You're a unique genius in Shrek Academy, right? So you came out to hunt soul rings. Where's your team leader?"

Lin Qinghan wasn't interested in Shrek Academy at the moment—it would still be two years before he considered going there.

Now, he had two 100,000-year-old soul bones, one of them 400,000 years old. Although he trusted Zhang Lexuan's character, for safety's sake, it was better not to go for now.

Sorry, the third update is a bit late.
