Lin Xiao's Persistence, Dugu Bo's Shock!

In the dense jungle,

Three figures darted through.

"Lin Xiao, have you thought about what you want for your second Soul Ring?"

Dugu Bo asked.

"Let me think. I already have a ranged attack Soul Skill with a control effect, which is enough for the early stages. Later, I should focus on enhancing Soul Skills."

Lin Xiao's First Soul Skill: Phoenix Feather Array, came from a Fire Cauterizing Bird that was over five hundred years old, which is already equivalent to an ordinary Soul Master's second Soul Skill.

In addition to the long-range, area-of-effect damage, there's also the second stage, Evil Fire Chains, which can lock down space, which is enough to deal with enemies.

As a Battle Soul Master who mainly focuses on offense, he naturally needs enhancement-type Soul Skills, like Dai Mubai's White Tiger Vajra Transformation. The effects of that skill are indeed good.

"How about a 1,500-year Tyrant Flame Blazing Luan?"

Lin Xiao asked. The Tyrant Flame Blazing Luan is a type of bird Soul Beast, but it doesn't fly. It looks somewhat like an ostrich, but its feathers are scarlet and its body is huge.

When attacking, the Tyrant Flame Blazing Luan enters a berserk state, greatly enhancing its own condition, and its attacks come with built-in flame explosions, making it incredibly powerful.

Dugu Bo and Ye Qingxian both thought it was a good idea.

"That's not bad, but I don't know if there are any in Sunset Forest."

"Although Sunset Forest isn't small, it can't compare to Star Dou Great Forest. Let's look around first."

Fortunately, the Tyrant Flame Blazing Luan isn't a very rare Soul Beast.

Near dusk, they finally found a group of these Soul Beasts in a haystack.

Most of them were hundred-year Soul Beasts, and the leader seemed to be the leader of the Tyrant Flame Blazing Luans, with an age of about two thousand years.

"Found them!"

"Two thousand years, what a pity."

Dugu Bo was slightly disappointed.

Lin Xiao was only looking for a second Soul Ring, and according to records, the maximum age for a second Soul Ring is 764 years, which is the official data from Spirit Hall.

Lin Xiao chose to absorb a 1,500-year Tyrant Flame Blazing Luan because his physical strength is extremely abnormal, surpassing many Great Soul Masters.

And the maximum age for a third Soul Ring is 1,760 years.

All of this data comes from Spirit Hall's statistics.

Interestingly, there's also a Great Soul Master called "Grandmaster" who plagiarized Spirit Hall's data and included it in his published papers without citing Spirit Hall's literature.

But he's just a clown, and no one takes him seriously.

"Let's go look somewhere else."

Dugu Bo was ready to give up on this two-thousand-year Tyrant Flame Blazing Luan.

But Lin Xiao stood still.

"Senior Dugu, I want to try."

Dugu Bo thought he misheard and exclaimed in shock:

"Are you crazy? The maximum age for breaking through to Soul Elder is 1,760 years, and you, a mere Soul Master, want to absorb a two-thousand-year Soul Ring?"

"It's only a few hundred years. Even if it improves, how much can it improve? We have plenty of time to look slowly!"

Lin Xiao explained calmly.

"Of course, I know all this, but in my opinion, the so-called maximum age for Soul Rings is simply not valid. This kind of data is only suitable as a reference."

"In practice, you have to analyze specific problems in specific situations and make decisions based on local conditions."

"The factors that affect the age of Soul Ring absorption are nothing more than Martial Soul quality, physical strength, and spiritual power."

"Martial Soul quality isn't a problem. As long as my body and spirit can withstand the impact of the Soul Ring, then the limit my body can withstand is the real maximum Soul Ring age!"

"My current physical strength already surpasses most Great Soul Masters, and in the Ink Jade Phoenix form, my physical strength will be further enhanced."

Dugu Bo still couldn't understand.

"Even if your physical strength is sufficient, can your mental strength withstand the impact of a two-thousand-year Soul Ring?"

If this kid's mind gets scrambled by the Soul Ring, how would he, Dugu Bo, explain it to Yan Yan when he gets back?!

In Dugu Bo's view, Lin Xiao was just fooling around!

However, Ye Qingxian's voice suddenly rang out.

"Perhaps he really can."

A hint of complexity flashed in Ye Qingxian's beautiful eyes. Dugu Bo might not know about Lin Xiao's mental strength, but how could she not?

Those repeated Evil Fire Body Temperings, enduring the excruciating pain of being burned by flames, while simultaneously circulating the Ice Heart Incantation to ensure his consciousness remained clear—this hellish experience had made Lin Xiao's mental strength far surpass that of his peers! He was clearly just a child, yet he had suffered so much.

How much more burning pain would he have to endure on this path? Dugu Bo looked at Ye Qingxian in astonishment.

The Ye Family Head was known for her prudence and treated Lin Xiao as if he were her own junior. How could she allow Lin Xiao to act so recklessly! Was she not afraid that one wrong step would lead to eternal regret?! Just as Dugu Bo was about to speak, he heard Ye Qingxian sigh and say:

"Poison Douluo, why don't you test his mental strength?"

Dugu Bo didn't waste any words, releasing his mental power to probe, and then exclaimed in surprise, "Close to Soul Elder level?"

"How can his mental strength be even higher than his physical strength!"

Dugu Bo's gaze towards Lin Xiao had changed.

What kind of monster was this!

Was he sure this was just a child of six years old?

Ye Qingxian merely said quietly, "Poison Douluo Senior, how do you feel when your poison erupts?"

Dugu Bo's expression changed slightly, and he said with lingering fear, "It feels like ants are biting all over my body, with unbearable itching and excruciating pain erupting together. That feeling is truly worse than death, and it's still unforgettable to this day."

Ye Qingxian said decisively, "However, the pain of Lin Xiao's Evil Fire Body Tempering far exceeds the feeling when your poison erupts. It is under this inhuman experience that he has honed his super mental strength."

Dugu Bo was speechless.

He looked at Lin Xiao, his eyes seeming to hold a thousand words, wanting to ask him how a mere teenager had managed to endure it.

Lin Xiao smiled.

"I said long ago, habit is a good thing."

"Many difficulties, after getting used to them, turn out to be nothing much."

"People are always growing unconsciously in their habits."

Of course, besides that.

The Ice Heart Incantation was also a good thing. Whenever Lin Xiao was about to faint or was on the verge of his limit, there would always be a surge of coolness that refreshed his mind and allowed him to pull through.

Dugu Bo was silent.

He saw his robe tremble slightly, and the two-thousand-year Tyrant Flame Blazing Luan fell to the ground, unable to get up.

He looked at Lin Xiao and shouted softly.

"Good! Lin Xiao, let me see how far you can go!"

The Tyrant Flame Blazing Luan had been poisoned by Dugu Bo and was now in a coma, its life hanging by a thread.

And those hundred-year Tyrant Flame Blazing Luan Soul Beasts, seeing their leader fall to the ground as if lifeless, were all at a loss, scattering and fleeing in panic.

Lin Xiao stepped forward and killed the two-thousand-year Tyrant Flame Blazing Luan leader with one blow! A purple Soul Ring rose up.

Lin Xiao summoned the Ink Jade Phoenix to possess him, and sat down cross-legged.

He began to absorb the Soul Ring
