Soul Beasts Miserably Used as Targets (Bonus Chapter—Please Vote)

The giant python soul beast was huge and completely still.

Yet Du Bai's marksmanship was so terrible that he still missed several shots.

Du Bai's expression darkened.

"Is my shooting really this bad?!"

Du Bai could not help but lament.

With skills like this, even if a smaller soul beast stood still and danced in place, he probably would not hit it.

I can't accept this!

I need to keep looking for soul beasts to practice shooting!

Bibi Dong, standing nearby, was dumbfounded.

A seven-hundred-year Scarlet Leaf Python posed no threat whatsoever.

Yet Du Bai was treating it with such seriousness.

He had not only unleashed his Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar, but had also held his breath and focused completely, as though facing a great enemy.

He had even sighed at the end, his face filled with reluctance and worry.

It was as if he blamed himself for not performing well enough.

She really wanted to ask Du Bai whether he was even human.

That was merely a seven-hundred-year giant python soul beast, while he was an existence comparable to an eighty-fifth-level Soul Douluo!

Why was he competing with it?

"Du Bai, it's just a seven-hundred-year Scarlet Leaf Python. There's no need to take it so seriously or waste time on it."

Bibi Dong looked at Du Bai's actions in confusion and surprise.

Seeing Bibi Dong's confusion, Du Bai explained, "After my Martial Soul Second Awakening, it changed drastically. I need to get familiar with it before I can fully control my martial soul, so I need these soul beasts for practice."

Thinking back to when Du Bai had used that Fire Qilin martial soul earlier, it truly differed greatly from his previous Three-Unlike staff.

"Oh—so that's how it is."

Bibi Dong finally understood.

But what was with the sharp, gleaming bayonet blade at the front of the Fire Qilin martial soul?

Bibi Dong had originally thought the Fire Qilin was a close-combat martial soul meant for charging into battle, attacking mainly with the bayonet at its front.

But...

Du Bai had attacked from afar just now, raising his martial soul, aiming it at the giant python soul beast, and launching countless tiny flaming stones with terrifying piercing power.

The martial soul's appearance was strange, and its method of attack was equally strange.

Bibi Dong could not help growing curious about Du Bai's martial soul.

"Du Bai, what exactly is your martial soul? What is its primary attack method?"

Bibi Dong asked curiously.

Seeing Bibi Dong's confusion, Du Bai felt that his moment to show off had arrived.

"My martial soul is a gun."

"A gun?"

What came to Bibi Dong's mind was a cold weapon, a long spear wielded in battle.

But Du Bai's gun looked vastly different from one.

Bibi Dong was puzzled.

It's good that you don't understand, hehe.

"My gun is different from the long and short spears of cold weapons. It's a long-range attack-type martial soul like a bow and arrow, except I don't fire arrows—I fire bullets."

"Moreover, my martial soul's attacks are much more powerful and far more flexible than arrows!"

Du Bai said calmly, though inwardly he felt immensely proud of his martial soul. It was one of a kind across the entire Douluo Continent.

"Bullets?"

Bullets were another unfamiliar term, and Bibi Dong did not understand.

"Bullets are like miniature arrows. They're much smaller than arrows, but their power and piercing ability are far stronger. As long as a bullet hits a vital point, the target basically won't survive."

Du Bai explained patiently.

"Oh—"

Bibi Dong wore a thoughtful expression.

Even after hearing his explanation, Bibi Dong still did not fully understand.

However, there was one thing she knew: Du Bai's martial soul was definitely no ordinary thing!

Seeing that the goddess did not understand, and being able to clear up her doubts, gave Du Bai a secret thrill.

While Bibi Dong was deep in thought and there was a pause in their conversation, Du Bai secretly glanced over her body.

Du Bai was slightly taller than Bibi Dong, and he was looking down at her from above.

His gaze first lingered on Bibi Dong's delicate face.

Then, naturally, it traveled downward.

Greedily, he looked from Bibi Dong's full breasts down toward that triangular region.

Through her clothes, it was enough to stir one's imagination.

Those stunning curves, those tempting peaches... it would definitely feel amazing to touch them.

My little Dong Dong's wife has such a good figure, so beautiful. I really want to go up and play with her.

Du Bai felt his throat grow dry and could not help swallowing.

Du Bai's inner voice immediately reached Bibi Dong's mind.

Bibi Dong instantly snapped out of her thoughts.

Where the hell is this bastard looking? He's being indecent again!

Bibi Dong cursed inwardly, then glared angrily at Du Bai.

"Ah!"

Du Bai was startled when Bibi Dong suddenly glared at him.

He hurriedly withdrew his gaze and put on a composed expression, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing Du Bai return to a serious appearance, Bibi Dong could not help muttering inwardly, Pervert!

With the topic over, Du Bai and Bibi Dong continued on their way.

Along the way,

Du Bai encountered quite a few soul beasts.

He showed none of them any mercy, treating them all as targets for shooting practice and firing shot after shot at them.

However, Du Bai had no intention of taking their lives.

Instead, he selectively aimed at non-vital areas that would not cause fatal injuries.

He would hit some part of their bodies—a leg, claw, or tail—give them a scare, then let them leave.

For example,

Right in front of Du Bai, an Azure Fierce Tiger was wandering through the forest in a daze, its tail swaying behind it.

Du Bai transformed into a skilled hunter, raised the Fire Qilin in his hands, and selectively aimed at the Azure Fierce Tiger's hind leg and tail before firing.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Several bullets flew out, coincidentally striking the Azure Fierce Tiger's tail and one of its rear legs.

The Azure Fierce Tiger cried out in pain. Terrified of Du Bai's Soul Douluo aura, it stepped on fiery clouds and vanished in a flash.

Another example:

Du Bai had encountered an Eight-Legged Giant Poison Spider earlier that day.

Naturally, he did not hesitate to use this many-legged soul beast for target practice.

After injuring six of the giant poison spider's legs, Du Bai let it leave.

Du Bai had also encountered a Sky Winged Snake, a snake-type soul beast with a pair of tiny wings.

Snakes should honestly crawl along the ground.

So Du Bai used the Fire Qilin to break one of the Sky Winged Snake's feathered wings.

Du Bai had also encountered a Green Tumor Tree soul beast. The aura it emitted made one's stomach churn violently.

If a low-level soul master encountered this Green Tumor Tree, they would probably get diarrhea on the spot.

For that, Du Bai acted on heaven's behalf.

He blasted the Green Tumor Tree soul beast until only a short stump remained.

Besides soul beasts like the Azure Fierce Tiger, Eight-Legged Giant Poison Spider, Sky Winged Snake, and Green Tumor Tree,

Du Bai also encountered other forms of soul beasts—monkeys, ants, bees, lizards, spiders, and more.

Whenever he encountered these soul beasts, Du Bai immediately turned into a skilled hunter and practiced his shooting on the spot.

Bibi Dong, watching from the side, was utterly stunned.

However,

Some soul beasts were less fortunate. Du Bai's bullets went astray, and they were shot dead on the spot.

Some escaped with injuries.

Others reacted in time and narrowly avoided disaster.

Overall, most of the soul beasts survived.

In Du Bai's view, after being injured, these soul beasts only needed some time to recuperate before they recovered. It was no big deal.

As Du Bai continued using the AK-47 Fire Qilin,

his proficiency with firearms increased tremendously.

At this moment, with the Seventh Soul Skill reducing recoil and improving accuracy,
