*****

As the three of them were rejoicing, a beast's roar came from afar.

Everyone looked over and saw a majestic lion appear not far away: it had a body that was more than four meters long and was nearly two meters tall. Its body was covered in crimson fur, but its mane was a brilliant gold.

It was the color of the sun.

Moreover, the mane was not just around its neck, it also grew on its back, extending all the way to its tail, making it extremely divine.

"Could this be the Blazing Lion King!"

Huofeng looked at this lion that was very similar to the Blazing Flame Lion, but had a golden mane. Her eyes lit up, and her aura surged. She couldn't help but ask Tang San.

"Yes." Tang San was also seeing such a majestic lion for the first time. "According to the books, the Blazing Lion King has a mane that is as radiant as the sun. That is the mark of the Blazing Lion King."

"Good!"

Fire Phoenix released her spirit rings, two yellow, two purple, and two black. The pressure brought by the spirit power of a Spirit Emperor caused the Blazing Lion King to run away.

But how could the Blazing Lion King's speed be faster than a Spirit Emperor?

Moreover, Fire Phoenix's martial soul was the Blazing Fire Bird, a phoenix species. Its flying speed was much faster than the Blazing Lion King's running speed.

Seeing that it couldn't outrun her, the Blazing Lion King stopped running and turned around to face her. Its golden mane danced like flames, and its aura suddenly surged. Dozens of energy balls like golden suns appeared around it.

However, to everyone's surprise, these energy balls didn't shoot out, but instead released beams of light in different directions, leaving Huofeng with no way to avoid them.

Helplessly, Huofeng could only use her fourth spirit ability to form a spherical protective shield to block the dozens of golden beams of light.

But the penetrating power of the beams was extremely strong, and even a Spirit Emperor's strength couldn't withstand it.

Seeing that her grandmother was in a bit of a sorry state, Huowu immediately asked Tang San, "What level of spirit beast is that Blazing Lion King? Why can't my grandmother take it down immediately?"

Tang San said, "The books actually have very little records of the Blazing Lion King, but two things can be confirmed. First, this Blazing Lion King's cultivation is no more than two thousand years, because a two-thousand-year-old Blazing Lion King will have a sun-like pattern between its eyebrows. This one doesn't have it, only some traces. Second, according to existing records, the Blazing Lion King is extremely powerful. At ten years old, it can fight against a thousand-year-old spirit beast, at a hundred years old, it can fight against a ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast, and at a thousand years old, it can fight against a spirit beast that is more than fifty thousand years old."

"This is a super spirit beast that can be compared to the Titan Giant Ape."

"Therefore, according to the records in the book, once a Blazing Lion King is discovered, a spirit master with the corresponding attribute, even if they are a level ninety Quasi-Titled Douluo, will try to obtain its spirit ring, even if the Blazing Lion King is only a thousand-year-old spirit beast."

Huowu became worried, "A thousand-year-old spirit beast can fight against a spirit beast that is more than fifty thousand years old? Isn't my grandmother in great danger?"

"Although that's what the book says, it's unknown whether a Blazing Lion King that has just reached a thousand years of cultivation can fight against a spirit beast that is more than fifty thousand years old, or if it can only do so when it reaches nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years of cultivation. Based on that one sentence, we can't make a definite conclusion."

Tang San shook his head, "A spirit beast that is more than fifty thousand years old is difficult for even a Spirit Douluo to hunt, and your grandmother is a Spirit Emperor. She can fight against this thousand-year-old Blazing Lion King and even gain the upper hand, which means that the situation should be the latter. The Blazing Lion King's cultivation might have to reach five thousand years before it can fight against a spirit beast that is more than fifty thousand years old."

As expected, as time passed, the Blazing Lion King's aura gradually became unstable. In the end, it was crippled by Huofeng and dragged in front of Huowu.

"It's really worthy of being the Blazing Lion King. It's even harder to deal with than an ordinary ten thousand-year-old spirit beast."

Fire Phoenix panted heavily. As soon as she finished speaking, she let Huowu kill the Blazing Lion King.

Huowu took out a dagger and stabbed it into the Blazing Lion King's throat. After its final struggle disappeared, a purple spirit ring emerged from its body.

Xiaowu turned her head away, not daring to look.

When Guangling hunted the Irontooth Fish, she didn't have much of a reaction, after all, that thing was a bit ugly. This Blazing Lion King looked much prettier.

Although a rabbit couldn't empathize with a lion, it still felt a bit of sympathy, but it was just a case of "when a rabbit dies, the fox grieves."

Huowu released her martial soul and absorbed the spirit ring.

In the past few days, her cultivation had also reached level thirty, and she could absorb the spirit ring.

Roar!

The moment the purple spirit ring was put on, Huowu's martial soul ignited. The crimson flames gradually turned golden, and even enveloped Huowu's entire body, forming a huge golden fireball.

"What's going on?" Fire Phoenix was worried about Huowu's safety. "No one has ever encountered such a situation when absorbing a spirit ring."

"Don't worry, Senior Huofeng, this should be the process of the martial soul's transformation." Tang San comforted her. "Although the Blazing Lion King is a super spirit beast, it's only a thousand years old after all, and its attribute matches Huowu's Fire Shadow. It will be easier to absorb. Moreover, I think Huowu must have also taken the thousand-year-old Whale Glue, right?"

"That's true." Fire Phoenix was also slightly relieved. After the method and value of using Whale Glue were made public, the Huo family naturally also began to collect it vigorously, but it was too late.

She estimated that in the future, there wouldn't be so many people who would have a thousand-year-old second spirit ring, after all, Whale Glue was originally not very common on the market, and most of it had already been acquired by the Spirit Hall.

As for going into the sea to hunt whales... even a Titled Douluo wouldn't dare to say that they had a hundred per cent guarantee.

In the blink of an eye, four hours passed.

The sky had already turned dark. Tang San, Xiaowu, Guangling, Fire Phoenix, and the others could only set up tents and prepare to spend the night.

As for Guangling's specific test, since Huofeng was here, it wasn't appropriate to conduct it immediately. They could only wait until he broke through level thirty, obtained the spirit ring of the Sun Moon Grass, and returned to conduct a more precise measurement.

The next day, nine o'clock in the morning.

Huowu had just finished absorbing the spirit ring. The golden fireball dissipated, revealing the girl's perfect body.

At this moment, Huowu's entire body was as smooth as jade. All of her clothes had been burned in the flames, and her reddish-brown hair had completely turned crimson. It was scattered, covering her three points.

"Where are my clothes? No, where is my soul tool?" Huowu stood up and immediately felt a chill all over her body. She quickly crouched down and covered her key parts.

Fire Phoenix immediately took out clothes from her storage soul tool and let Huowu put them on. She then turned her head and glanced at Tang San, who had turned around, and said, "Don't be shy, he's only eight years old, he's just a child."

"Grandma, how can you say that? Do you believe it yourself?" Huowu quickly put on her pants and long sleeves. She looked at her grandmother speechlessly and said to Tang San, "Alright, I'm dressed."

Tang San looked at Huowu, who seemed to have been reborn, and asked, "How is it? Has your martial soul transformed?"

Huowu was also curious about how her martial soul was doing, so she released it——

She saw a figure that looked almost identical to Huowu's face appear. Her body was also the same, except that there was a strange pattern like a sun pattern on her chest. It released crimson flames, covering her perfect body.

More importantly, her red and gold hair danced like flames, as if she was a goddess who controlled the sun...

For the specific image, refer to the comic version of Huowu's martial soul image.
