Peerless Tang Sect: Becoming a God Through Medicine

Chapter 140 Are you chickening out?
"It's just a pity that I can't wait until I've grown up to do it myself." After leaving the Sea God Pavilion, Huo Yuhao sighed with some regret.

“With Elder Xuan and the others taking action, Lin Nuo will have no chance of escaping even in the Star Dou Great Forest. He will surely die. Our academy’s feud with him must be settled.”

"It's because we're too weak, otherwise the elders wouldn't have needed to intervene." Bei Bei clenched her fists, her eyes filled with resentment and hatred. "If I weren't so weak, we wouldn't have lost the last competition, and Nan Nan and Cai Tou wouldn't have died."

"If I weren't so weak, how could I have just watched Sister Lexuan..."

Tears of anguish streamed down Beibei's face and fell to the ground. Never before had he craved power so intensely, longed for greater strength.

Hearing Bei Bei's words, Huo Yuhao also fell silent.

He understood this principle long ago. It took root in his heart after his mother died in the Duke's mansion, after being treated unfairly by Shrek Academy, and after being humiliated and provoked by Wu Feng. Now, the belief in the supremacy of strength has grown wildly in his heart.

Yes, Senior Brother is right.

All the helplessness and regret stem from a lack of strength!

"Power! I want even greater power!" the brothers roared in unison.

The two exchanged a glance, and in each other's eyes they saw a thirst for power and a bloodthirsty madness.

Wang Dong:......

……

Starry Sky Forest, somewhere in the core area.

"Finally found it!" Looking at the dark golden giant bear in front of him, which was cutting and eating meat with its claws, Lin Nuo wiped away non-existent sweat from his forehead.

Xiao Hongchen also breathed a sigh of relief.

They searched the entire mixed zone but couldn't find a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear of the right age.

After all, this thing doesn't have a fixed habitat. It eats wherever it goes, and if it has nowhere to live, it randomly finds an unlucky person to kill. Not only does it have a ready-made dinner, but it also has a place to sleep.

Having great strength means you can do whatever you want.

As undisputed top-tier soul beasts, they have almost no rivals in their age and condition. It's also difficult for any soul beast to threaten them. Those that can threaten them wouldn't fight to the death and suffer mutual damage, allowing other soul beasts to reap the benefits.

This results in the Dark Gold Devilclaw Bear not only having no fixed abode, but also being able to appear in any corner of the world.

This undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty of Linno's search mission. Sometimes, several locations with the scent of Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear would be found in the same area, but they were all left by the same Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. In the end, when they finally found it, the year of its discovery did not match up.

For three whole days, Lin Nuo led Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen around the mixed zone. In order not to miss any blind spots, they almost circled the entire mixed zone.

But fortunately.

They had bad luck in the mixed zone, but on their first day in the core zone, they found a suitable target.

A dark gold dinosaur with a lifespan of 31,000 years.

In fact, Lin Nuo was able to find it so quickly thanks to the fact that it had been hunting and fighting a powerful 50,000-year-old soul beast. The intense soul power fluctuations could be felt from a great distance.

Even against a 50,000-year-old soul beast, the battle didn't last long. From the moment Lin Nuo sensed the soul power fluctuations to his approach, only about ten minutes had passed before the battle was over. Upon arriving at the scene, this guy was already sitting on the ground eating dinner. His opponent had been cut into a fruit platter by the Dark Gold Terrorclaw, and even its original species was unrecognizable.

Even though the stench of blood permeated far and wide, no soul beast dared to approach this place.

The reason is simple: the roar of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had scared away all the surrounding soul beasts.

The moment Lin Nuo saw this guy, he knew that his assessment of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's combat strength was wrong.

He originally thought that the 30,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear would have a combat strength of at most 1.3 Gang, but after feeling its aura face to face, Lin Nuo felt that this guy's combat strength should be increased by 0.7 Gang.

It can have the strength of two forces.

However, it's not a big problem. With two strong against eight strong, the advantage is mine. No matter how strong it is, it's just a 30,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, not a 30,000-year-old Three-Eyed Golden Lion. It doesn't even have the ultimate attributes. No matter how strong its attack and defense are, it's only at that level.

Without reaching the pinnacle, all are merely ordinary.

"Ahem... Arno, are you really confident?" Xiao Hongchen leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "I think this big guy is terrifyingly strong. If you're not confident, then forget it. We can find other soul beasts to use as soul rings."

Lao Xiao was genuinely a little scared.

Having absorbed a piece of Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear palm bone, he was naturally familiar with the aura of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Every time he released a soul skill using an external soul bone, he could feel the power of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear released with his own cultivation level.

However, it must be said that the power he released was far inferior to that of the dark gold dinosaur bear in front of him. This was a direct and visible difference, and only he himself, the one being compared with it, could truly feel it.

"You chickened out?" Lin Nuo rolled his eyes and complained, "If you think you're chickened out and that you can't absorb its spirit ring, then let's forget about it and find another target."

"What a joke, me? I'd back down?" Xiao Hongchen got anxious as soon as he heard this, his face turning red. "I admit I can't beat it, but if you're saying I'd back down even if I absorbed its spirit ring, then I'll have to have a serious talk with you."

"If it's alive, I'll avoid its sharp edge; if it's dead and only its spirit ring remains, why should I avoid its sharp edge?"

"Alright, alright, as long as you're confident." Lin Nuo nodded perfunctorily, his gaze fixed on the dark gold dinosaur bear that was eating. "Are you ready? I'm about to make my move."

"You...you be careful." Xiao Hongchen stammered for a long time before finally managing to utter these few words.

Lin Nuo smiled slightly and didn't provoke him any further. Instead, he lowered his upper body slightly, tensed all his muscles, and after letting out a low shout, he rushed out.

"It's coming!"

A lithe figure burst out of the bushes in an instant, turning into a blur and quickly approaching the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which was eating, also reacted quickly. Living in the Star Dou Great Forest for many years, it would remain vigilant even when sleeping and eating, to avoid being ambushed by other soul beasts.

So the moment Lin Nuo rushed out, it dropped the piece of meat in its hand, and the ten dark golden claws in its palms suddenly shot out.

"Roar--"

A powerful bear roar!
Lin Nuo, facing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear head-on, immediately became excited.

As expected of a powerful soul beast with a name and identity in the original work, its aura is truly formidable, and it has ignited Lin Nuo's fighting spirit!
