Tyrant Sky Martial Soul-Chapter 2313 - 2316: Unlucky Steward, Fusion with Steel-armored Bull Demon
"No, no, Head Master Lin, I was just momentarily confused. Besides, the origin of his Iron-Backed Thorny Beast is unknown, and with his strength, he couldn’t possibly hunt it down. He might have stolen it. How could I dare give him the exchange? That’s why I did it on purpose, to make him leave."
The steward’s eyes flickered, and he abruptly started to falsely accuse Ling Xiao to shift the blame.
"His strength couldn’t possibly hunt down this Iron-Backed Thorny Beast?"
Lin Haoyu sneered, "You truly don’t cry until you see the coffin, huh. Ling Xiao, I’ve heard Fei Ying talk about the matters on the second floor of Ghost Prison. Don’t you still have the corpse of a Mutated Iron-Backed Thorny Beast? Bring it out to show this guy!"
Ling Xiao smiled and then touched the Storage Ring.
The larger corpse of the Mutated Iron-Backed Thorny Beast was thrown out, almost filling the entire exchange area.
Fortunately, the area was designed large enough initially, or else it wouldn’t have fit.
"It’s really a Mutated Iron-Backed Thorny Beast!"
"I heard this creature is much stronger than the ordinary one, should be at the Hell Middle Stage of One-Star Second-Layer Hell."
"Heh, that steward is going to make a fool of himself. Ling Xiao can even take down a mutated one; an ordinary one is nothing."
Amidst the crowd’s discussions, the steward at the exchange area trembled as if standing in the icy world wearing only a single layer.
"Alright, you can leave. Our Reward Good and Punish Evil Hall does not need a person like you."
Lin Haoyu gave the steward a cold glance.
He originally wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of this person, and today Ling Xiao gave him that chance.
"Head Master Lin, for the sake of my hard work over the years, please spare me this time. I will never dare again."
The steward actually knelt down before Lin Haoyu, crying out pitifully.
"Scram!"
Lin Haoyu roared angrily in disgust.
The steward, terrified by his fierce aura, stood up and fled, stumbling as he went.
"Ling Xiao, it’s all because of you that I lost this cushy position. Just wait, I want you dead, dead!"
Leaving the Reward Good and Punish Evil Hall, the steward went straight to the Sha Clan to find Sha Hai.
Of course, Ling Xiao knew nothing of this.
At this moment, Lin Haoyu personally calculated the estimated value of the two Iron-Backed Thorny Beasts for him.
The ordinary Iron-Backed Thorny Beast is worth four hundred Contribution Points.
The Mutated Iron-Backed Thorny Beast is worth six hundred Contribution Points.
Totaling exactly a thousand!
Adding the previous remaining twelve hundred, it amounts to two thousand two hundred Contribution Points.
"Head Master Lin, I just heard that steward say you have Beast Souls from the Second Layer Hell here?"
Having obtained the Contribution Points, Ling Xiao asked somewhat eagerly.
"Of course, last time you said you needed the Steel Armored Bull Demon Beast Soul, I issued the task, and just yesterday it was brought back. It only requires one thousand five hundred Contribution Points."
Lin Haoyu replied.
"Didn’t that guy just say it was two thousand?"
"That guy has been lining his pockets for a long time, taking liberties due to his ties with the Sha Clan, utterly reckless. Thanks to you, I had the chance to expel him.
If not, my Outer Hall of the Reward Good and Punish Evil Hall would have become a place of filth."
Lin Haoyu said with emotion.
"Alright, give me the Steel Armored Bull Demon Martial Soul."
Ling Xiao needed to enhance his combat power now.
For every Beast Soul added to his Beast God Ring, his strength would increase by ten percent.
Though it’s not much, if all twelve slots are filled, that’s a strength increase of over a hundred percent. This would make him vastly more powerful.
Moreover, the Tyrant Blood Demon Dragon Beast Soul emphasizes terrifying combat power and, after transformation, can fly and has wings, though they might not match his previous ones.
But for the current stage, it’s definitely sufficient.
The Steel Armored Bull Demon, however, embodies the ultimate in defense, focusing on a different aspect. Facing various opponents, he can adapt accordingly.
After trading for the Steel Armored Bull Demon Beast Soul with Lin Haoyu, Ling Xiao then exchanged for some Soul Gems and herbs. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
This time, he truly exhausted all his Contribution Points.
However, as the old goes, the new comes. With his steadily increasing strength, earning Contribution Points will become easier, so he wasn’t very regretful.
...
Leaving the Reward Good and Punish Evil Hall and returning to the Black Immortal Mountain Mansion, Ling Xiao activated an Array Formation to conceal his aura.
First, he took out the Soul Gems and distributed them to Yuan Venerate and Shen Dian.
When Yuan Venerate’s soul emerged from Ling Xiao’s body,
Ling Xiao thought he was seeing things.
"Master, why do I feel your soul has strengthened a lot, and doesn’t seem as weak as before?"
"It’s no illusion, it’s true. Soul Gems are truly wonderful things, immensely beneficial to us souls.
In the future, please keep finding more similar items."
Yuan Venerate said with a smile, "Once my soul is strong enough, then I can independently form a physical body."
"I can too!"
Shen Dian said excitedly.
Nobody likes remaining in a soul state indefinitely because a stray breeze might blow the soul away.
Moreover, a soul body must depend on others.
Just like Yuan Venerate relies on Ling Xiao, Shen Dian must hide within the Secret Technique Sword to ensure his soul’s survival.
It truly was a pitiable situation.
"Rest assured, with future opportunities, I will find more and better items to enhance your souls."
For Ling Xiao, the healthier Yuan Venerate and Shen Dian become, the more diverse his combat tactics will be.
Yuan Venerate is one of his exceptionally powerful trump cards, strong to an unimaginable degree to his enemies.
Shen Dian is an effective supplement to his combat methods.
Both are immensely useful.
Moreover, Yuan Venerate is his master, and Shen Dian now also counts as a friend; helping a master and a friend is only natural.
"Alright, enjoy your Soul Gems. I also need to integrate this Steel Armored Bull Demon Martial Soul into the Beast God Ring."
Ling Xiao smiled and sat beside them, beginning to integrate the Steel Armored Bull Demon Martial Soul.
Due to the unique property of the Tyrant Sky Martial Spirit, it can accommodate any Martial Soul, and it can exert pressure on any Martial Soul, preventing them from rebelling.
Therefore, the entire process was very brief; while others might take a whole day, Ling Xiao took just over ten minutes to succeed.
Steel-Armor Bull Demon Transformation!
Tyrant Blood Demon Dragon Transformation!
Both transformations share a flashy characteristic and are very comfortable, requiring no deliberate control and allowing for unrestrained combat.
The difference lies in their focus, providing Ling Xiao with different forms to fight different enemies.
"Next, continue merging Lei Yuanyu and Magma Elemental Jade!"
Raising one’s strength is, of course, paramount.
Because of a cultivation level breakthrough, Ling Xiao’s capacity to merge Lei Yuanyu and Magma Elemental Jade would increase.
Twenty-four Lei Yuanyu remained while forty had been fused before.
The first steps of the merging process were simple, but when the number reached forty-five, it became challenging, forcing Ling Xiao to transform to endure.
Even though the Lightning Battle Form didn’t improve, his body grew stronger, and the power of thunder and lightning within his cells became more formidable.
