Having absorbed the 100,000 Year Spirit Ring, Gao Wei unleashed all of her level 92 Soul Power.
Countless thorny vines rose from the ground, then began to gather and intertwine, condensing into a huge multi-faceted cone that stabbed fiercely at the immobile Blue-Footed Booby.
"Chirp!"
An ear-piercing cry of sorrow made everyone present cover their ears. Looking out, the Asparagus God Cone had pierced the Blue-Footed Booby's chest. Blood was spurting uncontrollably from the great bird's beak, and it looked like it was about to collapse.
"Elder Shi, come quickly."
"Coming!"
Shi Ming's Spirit, the Storm Griffin, manifested, and he appeared beside Gao Wei in a flash of light.
"Elder Gao, thank you."
After giving a grateful salute, he no longer hesitated, and his Sixth Spirit Ring began to surge.
"Sixth Spirit Skill · Wind Vortex!"
The Storm Griffin spat out a violent stream of air from its mouth, forming several arrow-shaped vortexes that went straight for the Blue-Footed Booby's eyes.
After another mournful cry, the great bird's body gradually stiffened, and its head crashed down, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Seconds later, it completely lost its breath, and a Blood Red Spirit Ring slowly rose.
The crowd slowly gathered around him, and Shi Ming turned back to give everyone a respectful salute.
"Elder Shi Ming, no need to be so polite, quickly absorb the Spirit Ring."
"Thank you Sect Master, Bone honored guest, Second Young Master, and the two Elders for your great kindness."
After a few pleasantries, Shi Ming took the Meridian Protecting Pill and Soul Nourishing Pill handed over by Ning Bei, swallowed them cross-legged, and began to absorb the Spirit Ring.
What followed was another long wait, but fortunately, everyone was prepared.
It wasn't until dusk that Shi Ming completed the absorption of the Spirit Ring and excitedly opened his eyes.
"Everyone, my Soul Power has also reached level 92."
"Congratulations, Elder Shi Ming, no, I should call you Storm Coronet."
"Haha, a fluke, a fluke, I will still need to rely on the Sect Master in the future."
Watching the two complimenting each other, Ning Bei rolled his eyes speechlessly. Anyone could call it a fluke, right?
"Elder Shi, tell us about your Soul Skills?"
Interrupted by Gu Rong, the two finally recovered from their mutual flattery.
"The two Soul Skills are Fatal Dive and Soul of Wind."
"Fatal Dive allows me to charge at enemies below from high altitude at ten times the speed and attack power, just like when that Blue-Footed Booby catches Dragon Pattern Mackerel."
"And Soul of Wind allows me to instantly borrow the power of the natural wind to increase all my attributes by 100% for a period of time."
Everyone nodded in approval. You must know that Shi Ming is an agility-attack type Soul Master. It's terrifying to imagine him launching a charge at ten times his own speed, not to mention the skill that increases all attributes.
The breakthroughs of the two made Ning Fengzhi's face crease with smiles. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had become even more indestructible.
The sky gradually darkened, and it was easy to lose direction on this sea without landmarks, so everyone unanimously decided to rest on this island for the night and head to the Azure Sea Mystic Dragon's habitat tomorrow morning.
Of the group of six, only Ou Xuan was still a Soul Douluo, and a sense of urgency rose in his heart, along with anticipation for tomorrow's action.
Amidst Shi Ming's excitement and Ou Xuan's tossing and turning, the sun finally rose from the east again. The group didn't delay and headed straight south.
It was always good to complete the goal of this trip and return to the Sect as soon as possible.
Several hours later, the group, following Da Ming who was leading the way, successfully arrived at the sea area where the Azure Sea Mystic Dragon resided. The sea surface here was noticeably darker than other places.
"This is it, Brother Ning Bei. Same old way?"
Ning Bei nodded, lightly tapping the sea surface with his feet to create an ice floe for Ning Fengzhi and the others to land on. Then, he directly had Da Ming transform into his true form and jump into his mouth.
"Let's go."
Water splashed, and Da Ming didn't waste any time diving into the sea.
Before long, the man and beast arrived at the seabed. Emerging from Da Ming's mouth, Ning Bei once again unfolded a Soul Power shield, isolating the seawater.
Looking around, faint starlight could be seen in the dark seabed, released by other Soul Beasts living there.
Not far away, there was an underwater cave, which was the destination of the two, the Azure Sea Mystic Dragon's lair.
The entrance was nearly twenty meters wide, indicating that this guy's size was not small.
Just as the two arrived at the entrance of the cave, intending to go inside and find out, a deep blue light came from within.
Da Ming's expression changed, and he hurriedly transmitted a sound to his side, telling him to dodge quickly, while he himself swam away rapidly.
Ning Bei also understood that this was the Azure Sea Mystic Dragon sensing their aura and launching an attack in advance. He hurriedly summoned the Ice Heaven Snow Woman Spirit, and the fourth Blood Red Spirit Ring with three Golden Markings emitted a dazzling red light.
"Ice Emperor Bodyguard."
A layer of ice crystal armor condensed on Ning Bei's body, allowing him to withstand this beam of rich water element.
The huge impact pushed Ning Bei several kilometers away, but fortunately, he had activated the defensive skill in advance, so he was not injured.
On the sea surface, Ning Fengzhi and the others watched the surging waves and couldn't help but clench their fists. This should be considered the most difficult of the three 100,000 Year Soul Beasts to deal with, and it was fighting on its home turf. The few couldn't help but feel worried.
Ning Bei, having relieved the thrust on his body, returned to the entrance of the cave. After exchanging a glance with Da Ming, both saw the difficulty in each other's eyes.
If this guy kept hiding in the cave and launching sneak attacks, it would be really difficult to deal with. The underwater cave was so huge that it was completely unrealistic to freeze it all into ice and bring it to the surface.
The two were stuck at the entrance for a while, not knowing what to do.
Fortunately, just as the two were in a dilemma, a dragon's roar came from the cave.
"Hmm, is it coming out?"
"It seems so."
The two were overjoyed in an instant. They didn't expect such a good thing to happen. The two retreated a thousand meters, clearing the position of the cave entrance. After dozens of seconds, a creature nearly twenty meters long, resembling both a dragon and a snake, appeared in sight.
The Azure Sea Mystic Dragon had two horns protruding from its forehead, which were eight parts similar to Dugu Yan's Spirit before it evolved into a Poison Dragon, but the color of its body was different.
After the Mystic Dragon came out of the cave, it roared at the man and beast in front of it. Then, the surrounding water began to surge wildly, and soon formed a huge tornado-shaped water flow that swept over.
Da Ming quickly shook his snake tail and dodged into the distance, leaving the battlefield to Ning Bei.
Ning Bei didn't make any extra movements; the Ice Heaven Snow Woman's First Spirit Ring surged once again.
"First Spirit Skill: Snow Dance Shining Sun."
Coordinating with the unfolding Eternal Frozen Domain, the seabed within a one-kilometer radius was entirely frozen into a world of ice, the water flow ceased its rotation, and the tornado-shaped ice sculptures were exquisitely beautiful.
The Azure Sea Mystic Dragon's pair of cold pupils suddenly contracted, as it sensed a tremendous threat from the human before it.
It must be said that the intelligence of a 100,000 Year Soul Beast is truly not to be underestimated; after a brief exchange, it judged that it would not be a match. A dark blue ghostly light emerged on the dragon's body, and it turned its head to swim away at a terrifying speed.
"Want to escape? In your dreams!"
The Right Leg Bone Spirit Bone Skill activated, and Ning Bei instantly gained light-like speed, moving laterally to the Azure Sea Mystic Dragon's side. Then, his right foot slammed fiercely towards the dragon's vitals.
"Lightspeed Kick!"
