The Three-Headed Red Demon Mastiff transformed back into the ball-bunned beauty and looked at Ning Bei expectantly.
Ning Bei chuckled and ruffled her head. Wang Wang immediately showed a look of enjoyment.
"Alright, Wang Wang, you can go back for now. It's my turn."
"Yes, Bei Gege!"
The Magma Earth Dragon looked very much like a Komodo dragon from his previous life, but its entire body was covered in magma, oozing threads of flame. Seeing Wang Wang disappear, it roared furiously and pounced at Ning Bei.
Outside the valley, Huo Linglong and the two others heard the commotion and quickly approached.
"Hiss, this is a Magma Earth Dragon. It possesses a trace of dragon bloodline and is a very powerful fire-attribute Soul Beast."
Dugu Bo recognized the type of Soul Beast at a glance and began to explain it to the two women beside him.
Huo Linglong couldn't care less about that at the moment; she looked at her son with worry.
"Bei Er, be careful."
Ning Bei winked at his mother, signaling her to relax. Then, he vanished from his spot, causing the Magma Earth Dragon to miss its target and kick up a cloud of dust.
The next moment, Ning Bei suddenly appeared above its body, his right leg glowing with golden light as he kicked directly at the Earth Dragon.
"Lightspeed Kick."
*Bang*
The Earth Dragon's eyes rolled back as it was slammed down hard. The already parched ground was cratered with a fifty-meter-wide, deep pit.
The three onlookers gasped, thinking to themselves, What a monster.
The Magma Earth Dragon struggled to its feet, dark red blood flowing from its mouth, and its eyes showed human-like fear. In just one encounter, it understood that Ning Bei was not someone it could contend with.
Its four limbs, somewhat short compared to its massive body, scrambled desperately, trying to climb toward the volcano's crater, wanting to retreat into the magma.
How could Ning Bei let it succeed? He landed on one foot, and a faint blue aura spread out.
The scorching active volcano valley instantly transformed into an ice and snow canyon, causing the three people nearby to shiver involuntarily.
The Magma Earth Dragon, closest to Ning Bei, stopped its movements in a panic, looking back at the frozen volcano with a bewildered expression.
"???"
"Is this still my home?"
Seeing the Magma Earth Dragon stunned by the sight before it, Ning Bei directly summoned his Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul, and the second orange-gold Spirit Ring lit up.
"Emperor Palm - Great Snow Without Cold!"
A massive ice and snow divine palm condensed in mid-air, then smashed down towards the Earth Dragon below with unstoppable force.
"Roar!"
Struck by the giant palm descending from the sky, the Magma Earth Dragon let out a tragic roar, and then its entire body began to freeze. No matter how much it struggled, it couldn't escape its frozen fate.
Tens of seconds later, a lifelike ice sculpture of the Earth Dragon appeared before everyone.
"This... it's already done?"
The Old Poison Demon stared at the scene dumbfounded. It was his first time seeing Ning Bei in action, and he was deeply shocked.
Dugu Yan's expression was no less astonished; she thought, So my backing is really this strong?
Huo Linglong's face, which had been full of worry just moments before, was now beaming with pride. After glancing at Dugu Bo, she said as if presenting a treasure:
"Senior Dugu, there's something you don't know yet. Sword Uncle and Bone Uncle are no longer a match for Bei Er."
Looking at Huo Linglong's smug expression, the grandfather and granddaughter were speechless.
They thought to themselves, You already know this kid is such a freak, so why were you so worried just now?
"Yes, your boy is truly amazing."
After a long pause, Dugu Bo said with a slight twitch of his lips. When Huo Linglong heard the senior's praise for her son, the smile on her face grew even wider.
Finally, Ning Bei's call interrupted their friendly conversation.
"Mom, hurry up and absorb the Spirit Ring! What are you all talking about?"
"Oh, coming, coming!"
Huo Linglong's graceful figure swayed, and in a blink, she was beside Ning Bei. After examining the ice sculpture, she looked at her son helplessly.
"How do I even start with this, son?"
Ning Bei chuckled, covering his mouth, at his mother's helpless expression. Then he walked to the head of the ice sculpture and snapped his fingers.
The Magma Earth Dragon's head was instantly freed from the ice. Its large eyes stared at the human before it, filled with hatred.
"Die, human! Flame Dragon Breath!"
A furious fire-attribute energy condensed in the Earth Dragon's mouth, about to be spat at Ning Bei, which startled Huo Linglong.
"Bei Er, be careful!"
Ning Bei paid no attention. He waved at the Earth Dragon, and its gaping maw was immediately frozen.
"Mmmph... mmmph..."
With its mouth sealed, the Magma Earth Dragon couldn't release its scorching breath. Its head thrashed desperately, trying to break free.
"Mom, now's your chance. It can't fight back."
Huo Linglong nodded, summoned her Flame Bow, and aimed it at the dragon's eye.
"Fifth Spirit Skill: Flame Piercing!"
An arrow of flame materialized on Huo Linglong's bowstring, shooting straight for the Magma Earth Dragon's vulnerable eye.
A mournful shriek echoed again. Hot blood gushed from the dragon's eye socket as if a faucet had been turned on. However, because it was also a fire-attribute Soul Beast, it had strong resistance to fire-attribute attacks. This strike didn't take its life, but the pain caused the dragon's head to thrash wildly.
"Ahem, Mom, we kill, but we don't torture. Just finish it quickly. A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is bound to drop a Soul Bone. You don't need to torment it like this."
"Uh..."
Huo Linglong awkwardly glanced at her son. I already struck hard, didn't I? Who knew this guy was so tough?
Regaining her focus, Ning's Mother raised her Flame Bow again, and several Spirit Rings lit up simultaneously.
"Second Spirit Skill: Scorching Amplification!"
"Third Spirit Skill: Charge."
"Sixth Spirit Skill: Destruction Ray!"
After two amplifications, Huo Linglong unleashed an even stronger attack, shooting it directly at the dragon's intact right eye.
This time, there were no surprises. The Magma Earth Dragon whimpered once, then completely lost all signs of life. A Blood Red Spirit Ring slowly rose from its corpse.
Ning Bei took out a Qi Return Pill, a Meridian Protecting Pill, and a Soul Nourishing Pill and tossed them to his mother.
"Mom, recover your Soul Power, then you can start absorbing."
Huo Linglong nodded. After taking the Qi Return Pill, she sat cross-legged to meditate.
Dugu Bo looked at the Blood Red Spirit Ring before him, his heart filled with envy. He had toiled his whole life and never obtained a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring, yet this junior was able to get one with her Eighth Spirit Ring.
Shifting his gaze to Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo's wounded heart calmed slightly. At least my granddaughter also has a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring.
Several tens of minutes later, Huo Linglong opened her eyes. Without getting up, she directly took the Meridian Protecting Pill and Soul Nourishing Pill and began to absorb her Eighth Spirit Ring.
The Blood Red Spirit Ring was slowly drawn towards the Flame Bow. The three of them consciously positioned themselves to protect Huo Linglong.
Ning Bei wasn't worried about whether his mother could successfully absorb the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring. Over the years, Huo Linglong had also consumed Whale Jelly. Although she hadn't taken Immortal Herbs, the Ninth Grade Immortal Ganoderma was no ordinary item and significantly enhanced her physical strength. Not to mention, she had also consumed the One Origin Pill that Ning Bei had given her.
Adding the Meridian Protecting Pill and Soul Nourishing Pill she had just taken, the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring was completely within her grasp.
As he expected, although Huo Linglong's brows furrowed occasionally and her breathing was somewhat erratic, there was no sign of energy overflow or an unbearable phenomenon occurring.
