Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains!

Puff puff puff!

The five elements of spear light pierced into the body of the Flame Lion.

boom!

The flaming lion landed heavily on the ground.

Xu Yuan didn't even have time to finish off his opponent, nor did he have time to draw his Heavenly Origin Spear and turn around to block.

The Heavenly Origin Spear was still stuck in the Flame Lion's paw. Xu Yuan released it directly, holding the Five Elements Spear Spirit in front of him. The power of earth element covered the spear, and Xu Yuan's aura was no longer the unstoppable feeling of being able to move forward. Instead, it was extremely heavy, and the sharp spear in his hand felt like a thousand pounds.

Boom!

After a dull blow, Xu Yuan was sent flying backward, tumbling two and a half times in mid-air before finally landing steadily.

Xu Yuan's eyes turned fierce.

With only this last fire lion still capable of fighting left, he naturally wouldn't bother with any more maneuvering.

Holding the Five Elements Spear Spirit, he calmed his surging blood and stepped forward.

The berserk fire lion disregarded the consequences, burning its last flames as it fought Xu Yuan.

The result of this battle was that Xu Yuan won, and the three Flame Lions died.

Xu Yuan pulled the Heavenly Origin Spear from the paw of the strongest Flame Lion. From within the corpses of the three Flame Lions, a crimson light drifted toward Xu Yuan, and after a moment, they all merged into his body.

The rules of the Spirit Ascension Platform are that one-tenth of the cultivation years of a slain soul beast will be integrated into the soul master who killed the soul beast, and then the cultivation years will be divided equally according to the number of soul rings of the soul master.

Xu Yuan only had one spirit ring, so all of this energy was integrated into his first spirit ring.

One is two hundred years old, one is five hundred years old, and one is six hundred years old.

The spiritual power provided by these three fire lions to Xu Yuan was comparable to that of a thousand-year-old soul beast, boosting his cultivation by more than 130 years for his first soul ring!

In a battle that lasted less than half an hour, Xu Yuan increased his first spirit ring by more than 130 years.

The significance of the Ascension Platform to Soul Masters is evident.

Of course, Xu Yuan's hunting efficiency is something that ordinary soul masters cannot replicate.

After all, a Soul Master who can easily hunt down these three Flame Lions must be at least a Three-Ring Soul Master, and if the three Soul Rings are spread out, each Soul Ring can only improve one's level by a maximum of forty years.

The difference is even more pronounced when compared.

This battle lasted quite a while, mainly because Xu Yuan sought stability and adopted a war of attrition tactics in the early and mid-stages.

If he were to engage in a powerful battle using the Heavenly Origin Spear, he could quickly resolve the conflict.

However, the outcome certainly won't be any better than it is now.

Needless to say, the soul power consumed is considerable. In the Heavenly Origin Brush form, nearly 60% of the elemental power he mobilizes comes from the external天地元气 (heaven and earth energy), while in the Heavenly Origin Spear form, the battle truly consumes his soul power. This 60% figure is the result of Xu Yuan developing the Heavenly Origin Brush form, representing the optimal proportion without compromising his fundamental control over elemental power.

Besides the depletion of his soul power, Xu Yuan estimated that he would also suffer some injuries.

"Get out of here first."

Xu Yuan quickly left the original spot and found a safe place to recover.

......

Xu Yuan gained a lot from this battle.

This was also the first real battle of his life.

Tense and exciting.

At the same time, it is so exciting.

Although Xu Yuan appeared calm and composed throughout, whether in the early and mid-stages of the game or when he found an opportunity, his heart was always burning with passion.

......

outside world.

Xu Shengqun couldn't stop smiling.

"Xiao Yuan is a promising fighter."

Because of his young age, Xu Shengqun's practical training of Xu Yuan this year was inadequate, but Xu Yuan's performance just now surprised him.

After killing the three-headed fire lion, he quickly left the battlefield and found a relatively safe place to rest, which satisfied him.

However, Xu Yuan's next action froze the smile on his face.

Chapter 24 The Hunt! (Please continue reading!!!)

After resting, Xu Yuan went straight to a group of soul beasts.

Wind Wolf.

This is the most common type of social soul beast in the Spirit Ascension Platform. Each wind wolf has about thirty or forty years of cultivation, but because of their large numbers, they often live in packs. A pack of wind wolves with a number of digits is considered normal.

Xu Yuan then approached this pack of wind wolves.

At first, Xu Shengqun thought that Xu Yuan had accidentally encountered this pack of wind wolves. But as Xu Yuan charged straight towards the pack of wind wolves, Xu Shengqun's heart jumped into his throat. He realized that this was not an accident, but that Xu Yuan had deliberately sought them out!

......

Xu Yuan, wielding the Heavenly Origin Spear, charged into the pack of Wind Wolves.

The intense fighting made his blood boil, a feeling that was incredibly captivating.

During this year, under Xu Shengqun's guidance, Xu Yuan honed his spear skills, mastering various techniques with ease. He also possessed the Five Elements Spear Spirit and the Heavenly Origin Spear. In battle, Xu Yuan would even throw his spear for long-range shooting.

This battle was fought with every means at its disposal.

Just ten minutes.

The group of seventeen wind wolves was completely annihilated by Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan had three wounds on his body caused by the wind wolves' wind blades and claws.

The forces of water and wood flowed through the wounds, nourishing the surrounding cells and rapidly healing his three wounds.

This pack of wind wolves provided Xu Yuan with approximately fifty years of cultivation.

Although Xu Yuan was using water and wood elements to heal his wounds, he did not stop, but continued to search for prey with his gun.

Outsiders, Xu Shengqun's heart was in his throat.

The battle Xu Yuan just fought was incredibly intense. Although the difference in individual strength between Feng Lang and Xu Yuan was huge, and they were no longer on the same level, Xu Yuan's sweeping spear was enough to severely injure Feng Lang. A thrust of his spear combined with the Five Elements Spear Light could basically save Feng Lang's life. However, in a situation where one was against seventeen, the opportunity to strike with his spear was not so easy to find.

Xu Yuan, however, managed to seize every opportunity he could find in this battle and kill all the wind wolves, yet he only had three non-fatal wounds on his body, wounds that could not even be considered serious injuries.

"Xiao Yuan seems to be enjoying this kind of battle?" Xu Shengqun looked at the scene on the screen where he continued to search for prey with his gun, and his expression was complicated as he looked at the expression on Xu Yuan's face.

......

"Even less consumption and damage can be achieved."

Xu Yuan reflected on every detail of the previous battle, reviewing his soul power consumption and the unavoidable injuries he sustained. He simulated tactics that consumed less soul power and made advance predictions about situations that might lead to unavoidable injuries for injuries.

......

Inside the Ascension Platform, Xu Yuan began his hunt.

On average, he goes through a major battle every hour, recovering while searching for his next prey.

Each major battle grants him spiritual power for anywhere from thirty to seventy years, averaging about fifty years each time.

After ten hours, including the 130 years he gained from the initial encounter with the three fire lions, he had gained a total of about 600 years.

Six hundred years!

In just ten hours.

This is something many Soul Masters dare not even imagine.

After all, obtaining spiritual power in the Spirit Ascension Platform also requires hunting soul beasts. No normal soul master has the hunting efficiency of Xu Yuan alone. Even if they team up, there is still the issue of assigning the final blow, which will result in very little spiritual power on average for each soul master.

It's estimated that only a powerful force would be able to match Xu Yuan's efficiency by specifically increasing the age of his soul rings for his juniors. It's like an invincible powerhouse in the Spirit Ascension Platform personally leading his junior soul masters to hunt soul beasts, leaving all the finishing blows to his juniors.

Xu Yuan's Five Elements Spear Spirit originally had a short lifespan, not even reaching the limit of the first soul ring lifespan for a normal soul master, but only three hundred years.

Now, after such a significant increase, it has reached nine hundred years.

He could feel the enhancement of his Five Elements Spear Spirit, a very clear sensation.

The gun spirit is improving, the soul rings are improving, and the effects of the soul skills are gradually increasing.

Whether it was the effect of actual combat or the improvement of his soul skills, Xu Yuan's understanding of spear techniques improved rapidly in the process.

"I don't know if I can beat a thousand-year-old soul beast in my current situation." Xu Yuan only has one hundred years left to achieve his goal, so he naturally wants to solve it once and for all.

However, after thinking it over, he gave up.

Ultimately, he was only one link in the chain, and his strength was greatly limited by various factors, with a significant gap between him and a thousand-year-old soul beast.

A thousand-year-old soul beast is not like those three hundred-year-old fire lions. Although they provide the same spiritual power, the threat they pose is worlds apart.

It was a complete qualitative change, from attack to defense to speed. If Xu Yuan wanted to break through the defense, he would first have to deliver a completely peak strike, and even then, he might not be able to find the opponent's fatal flaw.

This kind of battle is bound to be unwinnable.

The hundred-year-old soul beast is still at the same level as Xu Yuan in terms of strength, but it struggles in battle. However, the thousand-year-old soul beast is already at a different level.
