"Roar…"
Sensing the immense pressure emanating from the Nether White Tiger, the Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear let out a weak growl. Its instincts told it that this purple tiger before it was not an opponent to be taken lightly!
"So this is the Nether White Tiger? I can feel my strength and speed have increased drastically! This feeling never disappoints!"
From within the massive Nether White Tiger, Dai Weisi's voice echoed. As the one leading the Martial Soul Fusion, Dai Weisi could perfectly control every move of the Nether White Tiger.
If the Martial Soul Possession merely granted him the abilities of a tiger, now he had truly become a giant tiger. Just as a swordsman reaches the state of "man and sword united," Dai Weisi had reached a state of "man and tiger united."
"Wes, hurry up and make your move. The Nether White Tiger is powerful, but it also consumes a lot of soul power. With our current soul power, we can't keep it up for long."
"I know, leave it to me!"
With a mighty roar, the Nether White Tiger launched forward under Dai Weisi's control. Its powerful legs kicked off, releasing a gust of wind as it shot toward the Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear like an arrow.
In the blink of an eye, it appeared before the massive bear, and the giant tiger's claws slashed toward the bear's chest!
"Roar!!!"
Though it knew it wasn't a match for the Nether White Tiger, the Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear's bloodline refused to allow it to retreat. Today, the tiger and the bear would clash, and the world would see who the true king of the forest was!
With an enraged roar, the Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear charged forward, meeting the Nether White Tiger's claws head-on!
Boom!
The Nether White Tiger's strike was swift, precise, and deadly. The force of its claws slammed into the Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear's chest with a power that could shake the heavens.
The impact not only sent the bear stumbling back several dozen steps, but the ground beneath them also cracked like a spider's web.
"Amazing! The Nether White Tiger is indeed the Martial Soul Fusion Technique that sustains the Star Luo Royal Family!" Dai Weisi marveled. He could clearly feel that this technique was far more than just the sum of its parts.
The Nether White Tiger possessed strength and defense far beyond that of the Evil Eyed White Tiger, along with speed and agility that surpassed the Nether Spirit Cat.
Now at Level 39, and Zhu Zhuyun at Level 33, even though they were a team, they likely couldn't defeat a Soul King of over fifty levels. Yet, when they used their Martial Soul Fusion Technique, they could fight on par with a Soul King or even a ten-thousand-year soul beast!
The Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear, staggering from the blow, clutched its chest where two ribs had been shattered. Despite its strength, comparable to that of a ten-thousand-year soul beast, its cultivation was only two thousand years.
If it had been an ordinary two-thousand-year soul beast, it might have been killed outright by the Nether White Tiger's strike!
"Just as expected from the Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear. Let's hope for some luck and maybe we'll get a soul bone."
With another roar, the Nether White Tiger lunged at the bear once more, like a speeding truck. The Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear swiftly raised its sharp claws to block.
But the Nether White Tiger leapt into the air with uncanny speed, landing directly on the bear's back and delivering a heavy blow!
"Stormy Nebula Strike!"
As the words left his mouth, the Nether White Tiger's claw raked across the bear's back with a sound of tearing flesh, leaving three deep, bloody wounds. The bear let out a loud cry of pain, but this was just the beginning.
The Nether White Tiger continued its relentless assault, its claws moving so quickly that only afterimages could be seen. Its speed, combined with its immense strength, shattered the bear's chest and leg bones in rapid succession.
Finally, the Nether White Tiger landed a devastating blow, crushing the bear's skull.
A surge of soul power erupted from the bear's body, eventually forming a purple soul ring that hovered above its corpse.
However, the Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear was no ordinary soul beast. Even a thousand-year soul beast like it could stand toe-to-toe with a ten-thousand-year soul beast. The energy within it was terrifying.
Even after the formation of the two-thousand-year soul ring, the bear's body still retained a vast amount of soul power.
Soon, the excess soul power began to gather within the bones, clearly forming into a soul bone.
"This is it! If I can acquire the Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear's right claw bone, my strength will undoubtedly soar, and I'll be even stronger in the future, like Huo Gua!"
With these words, Dai Weisi dismissed the Nether White Tiger, and the massive tiger disappeared, leaving only Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun.
Dai Weisi seemed fine—his soul power was abundant. However, Zhu Zhuyun's face was flushed, and she was breathing heavily, her body swaying as if she might collapse at any moment.
"Zhuyun!" Dai Weisi immediately supported her delicate form, concern in his voice. "Zhuyun, are you alright?"
Zhu Zhuyun nodded gently, breathing heavily. "I'm fine, just too much soul power consumption. I'll be better after some rest."
"I'll help you to the carriage," Dai Weisi said, gently guiding her to the carriage before turning back to the Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear's carcass. With a nervous heart, he began to dissect the body.
Sure enough, a golden, glistening right claw bone appeared before his eyes.
The Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear was a metal-type soul beast, and his Evil Eyed White Tiger also wielded metal-related powers. This soul bone was a perfect match for Dai Weisi.
Moreover, this was an external soul bone that could evolve!
Excited, Dai Weisi grabbed the right claw bone, eager to absorb it.
"Uncle Li, I'm going to absorb this soul bone. Please protect me while I do," he said.
"Understood, Your Highness!" Li Hu responded.
Without hesitation, Dai Weisi began absorbing the right claw bone. With his current cultivation and double the normal mental energy, absorbing a two-thousand-year-old soul bone was no trouble.
Two hours passed, and the Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear's right claw bone was fully absorbed. Dai Weisi's right hand was now covered in a golden layer, resembling the bear's terrifying claws. The claws were incredibly sharp and could easily be used as a weapon!
Furthermore, the soul bone greatly boosted Dai Weisi's strength and physical attributes, providing him with a powerful new skill: Dark Golden Claw!
A move capable of shredding dragons and shaking the heavens!
Later, Dai Weisi returned to the carriage, where Zhu Zhuyun, having learned that he had absorbed a soul bone, initially expressed surprise, then furrowed her brows slightly. "Wes, while soul bones are rare, this is only a two-thousand-year-old one. Do you think it's really worth absorbing? After all, with the resources of the Star Luo Royal Family, acquiring a ten-thousand-year soul bone wouldn't be too difficult."
Dai Weisi, hearing her words, gently ruffled Zhu Zhuyun's hair and laughed heartily. "Zhuyun, if it were just any ordinary soul bone, would I have absorbed it? From what I observed, this is a right claw bone, not a right arm bone."
He paused, a gleam in his eyes. "I remember reading in the Star Luo Royal Family's archives that a claw bone is a type of external soul bone, which is why I decided to absorb it."
"External soul bone?!" Zhu Zhuyun's eyes widened in shock.
