Lan Xuanyu rolled his eyes. Where did this quality of his come from? Naturally, it was refined daily by Yin Tianfan and Ji Hongbin, but especially so from Yin Tianfan, who took pleasure in tormenting him in their daily lessons!

“Hold your breaths. We are going down.” Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath and pulled the two down. The trio immediately held their breaths and immersed themselves inside the lava.

They had discovered the opportunity through many difficulties, and now they could not take any chances. If the two Ground Fire Scarlet Dragons were to find out that they were still alive, everything would be doomed to fail.

The three only came up at intervals to catch their breath and observe their surroundings as their bodies gradually adapted to the temperature within the lava. Although it was definitely uncomfortable and consumed their soul power, there wasn’t much effect on them as a whole. They could easily immerse themselves inside for half an hour.

The trio was able to sense the situation turning for the worse and realized that the battle between the two Ground Fire Scarlet Dragons on the land had reached its climax. The two dragons attacked each other frantically, and the wounds on their bodies increased as large chunks of scales dropped off. Many of the wounds were even flesh deep.

Their wounds were severe, as their attacking power clearly surpassed their defensive capabilities and they were extremely ferocious when engaging in attacks. After 10 minutes, both dragons were covered in cuts and bruises, and the fierce auras they were emitting were declining drastically.

The boys needed several seconds to build up their attacks and prep themselves up to go all out against the two dragons. Occasionally, bone splitting sounds could be heard from the two dragons, and they noted that the two had sustained life-threatening injuries.

“Qian Lei, get ready.” Lan Xuanyu patted Qian Lei’s back. “Use your second Soul Skill to target their eyes. But wait until their next attack finishes first.”

Qian Lei immediately understood Lan Xuanyu’s intention. “Boss, you’re really too devious! Nevertheless, I really like this deviousness of yours. What should I do?” He glanced at Lan Xuanyu with a smirk on his face, understanding full well why Lan Xuanyu had requested that he use his second Soul Skill. When the snipe and clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits!

They would never have had a chance against a healthy Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon, but the two Ground Fire Scarlet Dragons had practically lost their targets and were engaged in a brutal battle with each other. The situation had turned completely. The two being severely injured was the best outcome for the team.

When thinking about the possibility of killing the two Ground Fire Scarlet Dragons, both Liu Feng and Qian Lei felt their hearts beat more rapidly. How many points would that entail?

Qian Lei’s second Soul Ring lit up in preparation for the Soul Skill.

In the distance, the two Ground Fire Scarlet Dragons collide ferociously once again.

The neighbouring Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon broke the first Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon’s claw with a bite, while the latter, in turn, retaliated by using its head to smash into the enemy’s neck and rupturing its cervical vertebra. This caused the neighbouring Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon’s head to slant to one side.

“Quick, attack the one that came later!” Lan Xuanyu shouted.

Qian Lei’s second Soul Ring instantly lit up as a Gate of Summoning appeared above his head. Without Lan Xuanyu’s support, a jade green figure flashed past them.

It was the Emerald Demon Bird!

Qian Lei’s second Soul Skill, Replicate, enabled him to imprint a soul beast that he had summoned from his first Soul Skill onto his second Soul Skill and use it as an instant summon.

In truth, after gaining this second Soul Skill, Qian Lei had become much more dependable. Even without Lan Xuanyu’s assistance, he was now able to rely on this Soul Skill as a combat ability, hence immediately strengthening his combat ability. After all, he had an endless number of choices from his first Soul Skill. He could simply choose the one he felt was the strongest and summon it.

The replicated summoned beast brought forth by his second Soul Ring realm, however, could only fight for 30 seconds, half the time of the soul beasts that were summoned with his first Soul Ring.

The Emerald Demon Bird was the soul beast the three had decided on after considering all options, thus it was the strongest soul beast at present that Qian Lei could summon.

The Emerald Demon Bird had cultivated for a thousand years. Despite being a 1,000-year Emerald Demon Bird, it had the power to threaten 10,000-year soul beasts. It was unmatched in speed and ferocity, and although small, it held an immensely terrifying attack ability. It was a natural soul beast killer.

Seeing as replicated summons could only fight for 30 seconds, which greatly reduced the usefulness of slow soul beasts, the final decision was to replicate the Emerald Demon Bird.

Lan Xuanyu had previously asked Qian Lei if it would work with Dong Qianqiu, and reality struck hard. For reasons unknown, it was impossible to replicate Dong Qianqiu.

After the replicate ability was unleashed, the only thing that came out was a shark, which was incapable of fighting on land. It struggled for 30 seconds before disappearing.

Hence, they never tried another humanoid-type summon.

The Emerald Demon Bird immediately sensed the existence of the two Ground Fire Scarlet Dragons. It was indeed too ferocious, so much so that Qian Lei did not have complete control over it. However, he was still able to point out the direction of its attack.

The Emerald Demon Bird shot forward like a jade green light and immediately headed straight for the Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon with a twisted neck. With a flash and a pop, it drilled its way into the Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon’s eye.

How ruthless was that? The Emerald Demon Bird was known to feast on the brain matter of soul beasts!

The Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon with the twisted neck immediately wailed in anguish, and its gigantic body trembled incessantly while falling to the ground.

The other Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon watched on in a daze; its current circumstance was not much better. It evidently had some intelligence, as, without hesitation, it opened its large mouth and unleashed a fireball towards the fallen dragon’s head.

The jadeish green light flashed again as the Emerald Demon Bird bore its way out of the other’s eye. Still splattered with some leftover brain matter, it shot out and avoided the fireball, appearing next to the second Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon’s head in the next instant.

The Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon immediately closed its eyes and emitted a blazing heat from its body! It was using its own defensive capabilities to fight against the new enemy.

However, the Emerald Demon Bird was hailed as a terrifying killer in the soul beast world because of its savage nature. Not only did it not dodge, but it also increased its speed, transformed into a jadeish light, and smashed right onto the Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon’s eyelid ferociously.

The jade green light recoiled, along with some flames on its body. The Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon had immense defense capabilities, but it still unleashed a wail.

Although its eyelid was able to defend against the Emerald Demon Bird, a large gaping wound had formed. More importantly, the eye within had suffered from the collision and ruptured.

The Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon unleashed a frantic roar and blew a fireball out.

The Emerald Demon Bird flapped its wings and extinguished the flames on its body, revealing jade green feathers once more. It transformed into light and flew through the cracks of flames. With a flash and another pop sound, it bore its way into the ruptured eyelid.

The second Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon’s large body fell soon after, still struggling incessantly.

The three boys remained immersed in the lava but felt their scalps go numb while watching the entire scene.

Their previous summon of the Emerald Demon Bird had also yielded astonishingly good results, but this finally revealed the true terror of the Emerald Demon Bird. A ferocious bird that unleashed its full potential on the battlefield, it was truly fearless! Lan Xuanyu even suspected that if they had summoned the Emerald Demon Bird from the get go, they would have fought against the Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon to a stalemate. Even if they couldn’t kill the Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon, they would at least be able to deal severe injuries to it.

Changes had occurred within Lan Xuanyu and Liu Feng’s gazes as they looked at Qian Lei. Who in their age group could possibly defend against the Emerald Demon Bird? From the looks of it, with the Replicate ability to summon powerful soul beasts, Qian Lei was indeed the number one of the elite junior class in terms of fighting capabilities! His unreliable Soul Skill had become stronger and stronger.

“What are you both looking at me for?” Qian Lei said calmly. “Without Xuanyu’s enhancement, I wouldn’t have been able to summon it. This can be considered half a martial soul fusion technique.”

He did not think that his slow summon was capable of summoning the ferocious Emerald Demon Bird by himself. He had tried it alone before, and the difference of summoning soul beasts with and without Lan Xuanyu’s help was completely different, the quality disparity too great.
