"That's it, there's a ten-thousand-year-old iron-coated rhinoceros in the center of the valley. After we enter together, I'll help you in the battle to make it easier to hunt." Jian Douluo looked at Ye Zhen with a relaxed smile on his face.

A ten-thousand-year-old beast, in the hands of one of his titled Douluos, is almost like a small chicken. Moreover, the Seven Kill Sword Martial Spirit of Sword Douluo, known as the number one attack weapon spirit on the Douluo Continent, is famous for its super damage.

Ye Zhen nodded and agreed to Jian Douluo's request. In fact, he wanted to go alone. He wanted to check a few things, such as whether his physique is good against a beast of this level, if he can open the first four gates of the Eight Gates without injury, and how strong Susanoo would be with the Amaterasu power in his right eye. He also wanted to explore if using Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu would affect his eyes. This was what Ye Zhen wanted to explore.

But if Ye Zhen chose to reject Sword Douluo, many of his hidden methods would be exposed. Now that Sword Douluo took the initiative to practically hand over the spirit ring, Ye Zhen was naturally happy, just waiting to make the final cut.

The forests in this small valley are very dense. The branches and leaves in the sky spread out, interlaced, layered on top of each other, and no light can penetrate. The weeds on the ground, which are as tall as a person, are so dense that there's no easy way to walk.

After discussing with Jian Douluo, Ye Zhen entered the small valley one after another. They both stepped on the tree trunks to borrow strength, moving like agile monkeys, transported at high speed through this small forest. Naturally, Ning Rongrong was held in Ye Zhen's arms; she didn't have such skills.

After the two ran for a quarter of an hour, Sword Douluo in front suddenly stopped and raised his right hand to signal, a gesture to stop. Ye Zhen knew they must have found the target. He quickly stepped on the tree trunk, borrowed its strength, and after a few jumps, he reached Jian Douluo and stood still, slightly leaning forward, following Jian Douluo's gaze.

A few dozen meters away, a huge black monster lay on its back in the dense underbrush, rolling around, its legs moving back and forth as if scratching itself. This giant is seven or eight meters long and more than three meters high. It is covered with large dark black scales, similar to turtle shells, emitting a faint black light, giving a sense of indestructibility. Its head is enormous, with two eyes like bronze bells, and a long, thick horn at the tip of its nose.

This is the iron-coated rhinoceros, also known as the iron-coated rhinoceros by soul masters, an omnivorous animal. It not only eats plants but also likes to eat meat. Its scales are strong, and its nose and horns are so powerful that they can make soul masters of the same level bleed easily. Even a spirit master one level above the iron-coated rhinoceros would need some effort to break through its defense.

"Xiao Zhen, let me show you the methods of a Title Douluo today." Jian Douluo smiled slightly, tightened the sword in his hand, and murmured softly, "The sixth spirit skill, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Sect."

As soon as Sword Douluo's words fell, a sharp and fierce aura descended between heaven and earth. Dense and countless long energy swords condensed from the void, exuding a bright white light, and all the sword tips were pointed at the ten-thousand-year-old iron-coated rhinoceros.

Ye Zhen was stunned by this scene. Damn, the Title Douluo looked a bit fierce! These long swords are everywhere, floating in the air, between the trees; how powerful is Sword Douluo's spiritual power?

At this moment, the Ten-Thousand-Year Iron-Coated Rhinoceros finally reacted. It was attacked from dozens of meters away by someone it didn't know. Looking at the dense energy swords in the air, it panicked, as if it had encountered a strong man among humans.

There was a trace of fear in the eyes of the iron-coated rhinoceros, but the animal nature of the soul beast made it roar and lower its head, with its thick rhino horns aimed at Sword Douluo. With a "boom," the sound of its heavy steps, it charged toward Jian Douluo.

The current situation is that this strong human is going to kill it. Even though the iron-coated rhinoceros knows it is not an opponent, it will not sit stupidly waiting for death. It began to resist.

Ye Zhen looked at it with some pity and secretly admired the courage of this ten-thousand-year-old iron rhino. At least it dares to show its teeth to the Title Douluo, and it can brag after it dies.

Sword Douluo looked at the ten-thousand-year-old iron-coated rhinoceros charging toward him, smiled disdainfully, pinched his right hand with the sword fingers, and waved lightly, "Cut~"

The sound of sharp weapons slicing through the air continued, and it seemed like it was raining white swords in the area. All the long energy swords transformed into white tips and shot toward the ten-thousand-year-old iron-coated rhinoceros.

The speed of the long energy swords is extremely fast, as if they have divided space, and the white marks left by the swords remain in the void for a long time. The ten-thousand-year-old iron-coated rhinoceros seemed to have been thrown into a meat grinder. Countless long swords circled and flew around it, and its hard iron armor was like tofu, unable to stop even the slightest, and was cut through. The only thing it could do was let out miserable howls.

Ye Zhen seemed a bit nervous. This ten-thousand-year-old iron-coated rhinoceros might be the only ten-thousand-year soul beast in the hunting forest. Don't kill it... otherwise, my second spirit ring will have to be postponed. Sword Douluo seemed to see Ye Zhen's thoughts from his expression and smiled, "Don't worry, I've held back and haven't hurt it too much. When it's exhausted, you can go up and deliver the final blow."

Ye Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly. Ning Rongrong was too embarrassed to continue lying in Ye Zhen's arms at that moment. Since Ye Zhen would absorb the spirit ring later, she had to twist and crawl down.

Sword Douluo looked at her with a helpless smile and teased, "Well, our little princess is still unwilling to get off someone? Don't you want to stay a bit longer?"

Ye Zhen scratched his nose, embarrassed. Ning Rongrong's beautiful face turned red instantly, and she deliberately frowned and huffed, "Grandpa Jian has no shame, so I'll ignore you..."

"Ah, the youth of today..." Jian Douluo smiled, shook his head, and sighed with emotion.

"Grandpa Sword, is it almost ready? I think that spiritual beast is nearly done for..." Ye Zhen began to change the subject.

The ten-thousand-year-old iron-coated rhinoceros was not far from death. Sword Douluo's Ten Thousand Swords Return to Sect was so powerful that the beast's scales were useless, and its flesh had been sliced through.

Sword Douluo looked at the tragic appearance of the iron-coated rhinoceros and said with a slight nod, "It's ready..." He snapped his fingers, and the sword shadows across the sky vanished in an instant, as if they had never appeared at all.

What remained was the ten-thousand-year-old iron-coated rhinoceros lying on the ground, unable to rise.

"Grandpa Sword, I'll go first." Ye Zhen greeted Sword Douluo, then smiled at Ning Rongrong. He took out the long dagger from his jade bracelet and approached the iron-coated rhinoceros. He was about to deliver the final blow with the dagger when suddenly, the dying iron-coated rhinoceros opened its eyes in anger, and its enormous horn charged towards Ye Zhen, who was close by.

He did not expect the wounded iron-coated rhinoceros to still have the power to resist. At this point, it was too late to escape...

"Be careful..." Two exclamations sounded at the same time.

At that exact moment, Ye Zhen had no time to hide.

"Substitution Technique," Ye Zhen silently said in his heart.

"Boom~" A cloud of smoke rose where he was. Ye Zhen's figure disappeared instantly, leaving only a thick mist.

The substitution technique is a spirit skill where both parties exchange positions. The blue-silver grass was originally at the side of the iron-coated rhinoceros's head. At this moment, Ye Zhen swapped places with it, and he was now at the side of the iron-coated rhinoceros.

With the rhinoceros's head pushed out, to Ye Zhen, it looked like it had stretched its neck, waiting to be struck.

Naturally, Ye Zhen wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. He extended his right hand and firmly drove the dagger into the iron-coated rhinoceros's throat. The iron-coated rhinoceros, whose scales had already been cut by Sword Douluo, was very fragile. Ye Zhen couldn't help but attack. The throat broke instantly, and blood gushed out like a small fountain, staining the ground red.

The iron-coated rhinoceros's vitality was very tenacious. Even though its throat was cut by a sharp blade, it did not die immediately. Instead, it stubbornly turned its head and tried to continue attacking Ye Zhen, but this time, its movements became much slower and stiffer, weakened.

In the end, the iron-coated rhinoceros still couldn't reach Ye Zhen. Even as it remained beside him, its horns were about to hit Ye Zhen's chest with a "thud," and its head weakly hit the ground. The light was gone, but its eyes were still fixed, filled with reluctance.

Ye Zhen stared at the iron-coated rhinoceros lying on the ground and felt a certain string in his heart being touched. This soul beast deserved respect. If Sword Douluo had not made a move, they could have been good opponents, a person and a beast.

Thinking this, Ye Zhen knelt down and crouched slightly. He extended his hand and patted the large head lying on the ground, lamenting, "It's the natural selection of things, the survival of the fittest. Although I feel sorry for killing you, I need your soul ring. Since you want to give it to me so much, I will fulfill your last wish."

As his voice fell, Ye Zhen used his hands to lift the iron-coated rhinoceros's large head and, after a gentle touch on its chest, it finally closed its eyes.

[Negative sentiment value of the iron-coated rhinoceros +566...] [Negative sentiment value of the iron-coated rhinoceros +5666...]

The situation in the field changed rapidly. The iron-coated rhinoceros almost severely hit Ye Zhen. Ye Zhen suddenly turned into smoke and then appeared at the side of the iron-coated rhinoceros's head to deliver a fatal blow.

On the dead iron-coated rhinoceros, some black light spots slowly emerged. After a while, a ten-thousand-year-old black spirit ring gathered above its body, slowly spinning.

Ye Zhen found a slightly clean spot next to it and sat cross-legged. He did not rush to pull the spirit ring but went to the system store.

He already had over 17,000 negative sentiment points. Naturally, he had to buy the three-tailed beast first. Perhaps it could also make a contribution when he absorbed the spirit ring.

The 3000 dragon-hidden ring that changes color became over 5000 years old. Now, adding another ten-thousand-year-old spirit ring, with the help of the three-beast origin, could it become thirty or forty thousand years old? From light black to pure black?

Now that the negative sentiment value was sufficient, the sooner he bought it, the better.

After Ye Zhen spent 7,000 points to buy the three-tailed beast, another group of white light in the shape of a turtle appeared in his Dantian, just like the previous times.

Then Ye Zhen began to absorb the iron-coated rhinoceros's spirit ring. The process went smoothly. There were no issues with the body's ability to withstand the ring. From this, it could be seen that Ye Zhen's physical strength was becoming increasingly abnormal.

With the help of the beasts, the absorption of the spirit ring quickly reached its end. After the spiritual power of the iron-coated rhinoceros's spirit ring was divided by the three-tailed beasts, Ye Zhen's body became quiet.

At this moment, Ye Zhen knew it was time to buy spirit skills. Without much thought, Ye Zhen spent 3,000 points to purchase the A-level Shadow Clone Technique. The original B-level Shadow Clone Technique was also under consideration. When Ye Zhen bought the multiple shadow clone technique, the three-tailed beasts, as usual, began to replenish the spiritual power that Ye Zhen used to condense the spirit ring.

Three enormous spiritual powers suddenly erupted from Ye Zhen's body. After strengthening his physical body, they slowly escaped. Above Ye Zhen's head, they condensed into a pure black ten-thousand-year-old spirit ring. The spirit ring slowly fell and, after rising on top of the first thousand-year-old purple spirit ring, the process of absorbing the spirit ring was completely finished.

Two spirit rings, one purple and one black, spun slowly around Ye Zhen. The corners of Sword Douluo's mouth twitched slightly at this scene. Why did this pure black spirit ring not seem to be just ten thousand years old?

After the soul ring was absorbed, the effect of the spiritual ability appeared automatically in Ye Zhen's mind, which was very different from the cloning technique.

Multiple Shadow Clone Technique: The number of clones depends on the soul power in the body. Each clone possesses 80% of the original body's combat power and will be destroyed by a strong blow. The clones can practice on their own and each has self-awareness. If Ye Zhen does not give instructions to a clone to complete something, the clone will act according to its own preferences. Ninety-nine percent of the clones will strictly follow instructions. The clone does not share the field of vision. After a clone is removed or destroyed, Ye Zhen can receive what it saw and heard. (Additional effect of the ten-thousand-year soul ring: when the clone is not fatally damaged, it can continue to be immortal and absorb the world's energy to repair itself.)

"Hiss~" Ye Zhen took a deep breath. This technique was truly worth it. With the addition of the clone's combat power from the first spiritual ability and a 10% passive effect, when you become a Title Douluo, who on the Douluo Continent could be your opponent? What? You are the Ultimate Douluo, I can't defeat you at level 91? Ha ha, have you ever seen 1,000 Title Douluos at level 91?

Thinking about this, Ye Zhen was in a good mood. After standing up and stretching, he wanted to share the good news with Jian Douluo and Ning Rongrong.

When he turned around, a black light suddenly flashed in Ye Zhen's eyes under the armored rhinoceros's forelimbs. To confirm his thoughts, Ye Zhen quickly approached the armored rhinoceros's leg and, after pulling at its foreleg, a shiny black metal, resembling a bracelet, appeared. Ye Zhen's eyes suddenly brightened. If he guessed correctly, this should be a right arm soul bone.

Why the right arm instead of the left? Because it was on the right forelimb of the armored rhinoceros.

"Hehe, Xiao Zhen, it looks like you're in luck. This should be a soul bone," Jian Douluo said as he walked over to Ning Rongrong, smiling.

Ning Rongrong looked curiously at the soul bone in Ye Zhen's hand. Although the Seven Treasure Glasses Sect has substantial income, there aren't many soul bones. Even the two Title Douluos of the Seven Treasure Glasses Sect don't have a complete set of soul bones.

Ye Zhen smiled with satisfaction. Gaining a ten-thousand-year soul bone was also an unexpected gain. Although he didn't need the ten-thousand-year soul bone, he could use it as a gift. It turns out Rongrong doesn't have a soul bone? Then give her the right arm bone as a thank you for the jade bracelet.

"Vovô Sword, this soul bone is also yours. After all, you heavily injured the armored rhinoceros. Give this soul bone to Rongrong." After that, Ye Zhen handed the soul bone to Ning Rongrong.

"Huh?... Give me?" Ning Rongrong opened her mouth in slight surprise. No matter how ignorant she was, she also knew that soul bones were very precious. After all, even though Sword Douluo is so powerful, he doesn't have a full set of bones.

Even Sword Douluo was stunned after hearing Ye Zhen's words. How much courage would it take to give a ten-thousand-year soul bone to someone?

Sword Douluo slightly pursed his lips, said nothing, and just watched the two in silence. The young lady should decide for herself.

And Ye Zhen, this young man might be the future son-in-law of the Seven Treasure Glasses Sect, so it was reasonable to give a soul bone as an early engagement gift. In Sword Douluo's heart, he was increasingly satisfied with Ye Zhen. At a young age, his potential was infinite.

Ye Zhen looked at Ning Rongrong, who was stunned and didn't reach out to take it. He smiled helplessly and had to press the soul bone into her arms, saying, "Take it, you're too weak now, use this to improve."

Ning Rongrong initially wanted to refuse, but after hearing Ye Zhen's words, her small hand reached out immediately, grasping the ten-thousand-year soul bone tightly to her chest. Both Ye Zhen and Sword Douluo couldn't help but laugh at the scene; the girl was so cute.

The smiling faces of both made Ning Rongrong's cheeks turn red with embarrassment, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Seeing that the two had settled things, Sword Douluo said to Ye Zhen, "Xiao Zhen, it looks like your second soul ring has increased again. I suspect that in the future, each of your soul rings will increase in years. And this growth rate is very high. It might be related to your martial arts and soul abilities in many ways. What is the ability of your second soul ring? Tell Grandpa Jian, and I'll help you understand the variation of the soul ring."

Ye Zhen secretly smiled in his heart but said seriously on the surface, "Vovô Sword, my second soul ability is also a cloning technique. This time, I can separate 10 clones. Each clone has 80% of the combat power, and the clone will have its own consciousness. It can practice alone without being fatally injured or disappearing."

"Hiss~" After hearing Ye Zhen's words, Jian Douluo took a deep breath. Damn, Xiao Zhen's spiritual ability is worlds apart from the first one, the difference is so vast. From now on, if Xiao Zhen fights other spirit masters, he will be chosen to change the rhythm of the group fight... This spiritual ability is not like the first one.

"This spiritual ability, compared to your first one, is heaven-defying and very good. The lifespan growth of the soul ring might also be related to your clones..." Jian Douluo said.

Ning Rongrong heard that Ye Zhen's second soul ability had 10 clones, and her eyes instantly sparkled as she wondered what she was thinking...

Everything was done in the Soul Hunting Forest, and the three were in a good mood. Jian Douluo smiled and said with a hint of teasing, "Xiao Zhen, it's time to leave the Soul Hunting Forest now. Don't forget to let me know when you reach level 30. Your Grandpa Jian will help you get your third soul ring."

"Grandpa Jian, I absorbed the ten-thousand-year soul ring from the armored rhinoceros and only reached level 27, and I still need to be at level 30 to hunt for the third soul ring. It should take a while, unfortunately." Ye Zhen scratched his neck, with a regretful expression on his face.

As soon as the words fell, Ye Zhen picked up Ning Rongrong like a princess and gently embraced her. With that done, he began to leap through the trees to return.

Only a Sword Douluo with a slightly pursed cheek was left behind, murmuring unconsciously, "Level 27... Level 27..."
