Chapter 3: Instantly Killing Zhang Lexuan.
The condensation of a soul beast's soul core is completely different from that of a soul master.
Soul beasts condense their soul cores through instinct and by relying on their powerful physique to directly engage in brute force.
After learning the method from the golden tortoiseshell, he also summarized the experience of soul masters in condensing soul cores, and combined the two.
Only then did the formal condensation of the soul core begin.
His first soul core was intended to be a blood and qi soul core.
Because of their golden bloodline, their clan's control over elemental attributes is generally poor; only a few golden earth dragons in the clan control the earth and water elements.
Although their names contain the character for "gold," they have no relation to the element of metal and cannot follow the path of ultimate metal.
They rely more on their own strong physique and tough scales to deal with enemies.
If there is one path that belongs to them, it is the ultimate power of the Golden Holy Dragon King.
Therefore, condensing the first soul core into a blood and qi soul core is the preferred method.
Soul power was being compressed, molded, and stabilized; everything was proceeding smoothly and methodically.
Even if some unexpected things happened along the way, he suppressed them with his powerful physique.
As time went by, ten years passed in the blink of an eye.
When Jiang Heng opened his eyes again, he had finally successfully condensed his own soul core.
Only on this day could he truly be called a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
According to his estimation, he was at most equivalent to a level 93 or 94 Title Douluo in this era.
It could even be lower.
There's nothing we can do; the spirit beasts of this era are just too weak.
The next step is to determine the timeline and find ways to improve our strength.
The path of becoming human was never among his choices.
Once a soul beast, always a soul beast.
Transforming into human form is merely a way to deceive those Soul Masters; in the eyes of the gods, the essence of Soul Beasts remains unchanged.
This path is destined to be a dead end.
He also thought about finding a suitable opportunity to become Huo Yuhao's soul spirit, ascend to the God Realm with him, and enjoy eternal life.
Putting aside whether the attributes are suitable or not, just one point: to enjoy eternal life as a slave—isn't that just asking for trouble?
We might as well take a gamble and die!
He then instructed his people to observe the ground through the several entrances connecting to the surface, to see if anyone had come to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt souls recently.
If they are not strong enough, hunt them down and seize their storage soul tools.
Why can humans hunt soul beasts, but soul beasts can't hunt human soul masters in return?
After his training, the intelligence of the clansmen has obviously improved, especially the two golden earth dragons that are 90,000 years old, which can be regarded as normal thirteen or fourteen-year-old children.
Time flies, and thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
For a soul beast, thirty years is nothing, but for a human, thirty years is enough to transform from a weak ant into a god.
Over the course of these thirty years, Jiang Heng continuously acquired knowledge from human soul masters and combined it with his own ideas.
He successfully developed a breathing technique suitable for the soul beast race.
Although it has little effect on 100,000-year-old soul beasts, it is still very useful for soul beasts under 50,000 years old in the clan, as it can accelerate the increase in strength after eating.
In these thirty years, besides training his clansmen and hoping to produce one or two more 100,000-year-old soul beasts, he spent most of his time trying every possible way to improve his strength.
He has collected various precious medicinal herbs and devoured soul beasts with golden bloodlines. Now he has 150,000 years of cultivation.
In just thirty years, he increased his cultivation by fifty thousand years, which can only be described as defying the heavens.
All of this was achieved through his diligent cultivation and the consumption of numerous soul beasts with golden bloodlines.
The bloodline of all dragon species can be traced back to the Dragon God. Further subdivisions can be made below this. The direct bloodline of the Golden Earth Dragon King can be traced back to the power bloodline of the Golden Dragon King and the light attribute of the Light Dragon King. They are descendants of the combination of the two and diluted over generations.
The source of the golden bloodline is the Golden Holy Dragon King. The reason he chose to devour this kind of soul beast is that his bloodline is more abundant, and he does not have much of the Light Dragon King bloodline himself, so he temporarily abandons it and goes down the path of the limit.
Of course, there is another unavoidable reason: most of the soul beasts with the bloodline of the Light Dragon King are the designated food of auspicious beasts, so it is naturally impossible to compete with her.
Even so, he dared not hunt in the Star Dou Great Forest. To avoid being discovered by Di Tian, he focused his efforts on the ocean. With the help of his people, he dug several tunnels leading to the ocean and would go hunting there from time to time.
"Your Majesty, we have discovered that more than a dozen humans are fighting against a 100,000-year-old Silver Moon Wolf King!"
Just as Jiang Heng was attempting to create an eighth-level soul tool, a 90,000-year-old golden earth dragon arrived and used its spiritual power to convey the information it had learned.
In recent years, in addition to cultivation, Jiang Heng has also devoted a lot of time to researching soul tools.
His titled Douluo-level mental strength, combined with the powerful strength of a soul beast's body and his top-notch talent in this area, allowed him to barely create an 8th-level soul tool in just 30 years by imitation.
Of course, the level 8 soul tool here is the evaluation standard of Douluo Three Kingdoms. In addition, the huge physique of soul beasts makes it difficult for them to do delicate work. The soul tools he made were all the kind that were strong enough to throw bricks.
As for its roughness and poor quality, these shortcomings can be ignored. Just tell me if it's an 8th-level soul tool.
"The 100,000-year-old Silver Moon Wolf King, could it be the one that Xuanzi took Zhang Lexuan to hunt souls with?!"
Upon hearing this news, Jiang Heng immediately thought of this particular time, as this event was truly unforgettable.
Even with a level 98 titled Douluo leading a team to hunt souls, eight out of twelve outstanding geniuses still met a tragic end.
"Make all the tribesmen retreat!"
Jiang Heng knew that if his guess was true, then Xuanzi was very likely nearby. If Xuanzi discovered his clansmen, he might be killed on the spot.
The underground tunnels they dug might be a big problem for other Title Douluos, but for Xuanzi, it's really no problem.
There's nothing we can do; it's just that someone else's martial spirit is the Gluttonous Black Ox.
His mind raced, trying to figure out what benefits he could gain from the process.
After some thought, he decided to conceal his aura and travel through the passage to the vicinity of that battlefield, intending to investigate first and then seize the opportunity to act if conditions allowed.
Jiang Heng then concealed his aura as much as possible and arrived at the battle site through the underground passage.
When he arrived, the 100,000-year-old Silver Moon Wolf King was already on its last breath.
Of those human soul masters, only four remain.
Based on their characteristics and their understanding of the original work, he was 90% certain that these people were disciples of Shrek Academy.
"If the Silver Moon Wolf King, which is 100,000 years old, were to be devoured by the clan, it might give rise to a Golden Earth Dragon King, which is 100,000 years old, after digestion."
Based solely on this point, Jiang Heng decided to take drastic action.
In addition, he also needs the knowledge contained in the storage soul tools of those human soul masters.
If I remember correctly, Xuanzi arrived after Zhang Lexuan successfully absorbed the soul ring.
"Let's do it!"
Without any hesitation, Jiang Heng burst out of the ground, his massive body carrying a powerful oppressive force, heading straight for Zhang Lexuan, the strongest fighter present.
"Smack!"
With a crisp sound, Zhang Lexuan's head was smashed to pieces by his claw, just like a watermelon.
This senior disciple of the inner court died just like that.
Dead beyond dead.
Jiang Heng showed no mercy whatsoever.
He was very clear about his position. Now that he was a soul beast, the so-called pity and chivalry were simply out of the question.
"this..."
Suddenly, a 100,000-year-old soul beast appeared and slapped the senior sister to death, leaving the remaining three completely terrified.
Then, without any mercy, Jiang Heng slapped each of the remaining three Shrek students to death.
He then quickly collected everything of value from these people before leaving with the heavily injured 100,000-year-old Silver Moon Wolf King.
Before leaving, they even sealed off the passage.
As for what happens next, what does that have to do with him?
Not long after Jiang Heng left, Xuanzi, having eaten and drunk his fill, leisurely went to look for his student.
Where are the children?
Xuanzi quickly noticed the anomaly. His expression changed drastically.
He hurriedly channeled his mental energy, frantically scanning his surroundings.
The next moment, he froze on the spot, his eyes fixed on the corpses.
Especially that corpse standing stiffly in place, judging from its attire, it was Zhang Lexuan!
