Experimental Soul Skill

"Why did Teacher leave? I only wanted to repay him." Shui Bing'er turned to Shui Wuxin and asked in confusion.

Seeing Shui Bing'er's dejected expression, Shui Wuxin could not help but smile. She walked over and patted Shui Bing'er on the head.

"Hehe, Bing'er, maybe he had something else to do. If fate permits, you'll meet again someday. Don't dwell on it. Let's hurry and find a soul beast." Shui Wuxin smiled, took Shui Bing'er by the arm, and headed west into the forest.

"Why were you running? If it weren't for me, you'd have been dead already. Do you think your old man could've saved you?" Su Yu rolled his eyes at the Ice Fire Toad perched on his shoulder and spoke helplessly.

The Ice Fire Toad lying on him had quite the background. Its father was an Ice Fire Toad over eighty thousand years old, with strength even greater than some weaker Titled Douluo.

"Be smarter next time, got it? I'm not going to eat you, so what are you scared of? I only wanted to test a soul skill on you." Su Yu curled his lip and looked unhappily at the Ice Fire Toad.

"Ribbit, ribbit." The Ice Fire Toad widened its eyes and gave two aggrieved croaks in response to Su Yu's scolding.

"Alright, stop pretending to be pitiful. Go stand over there." Su Yu casually tossed the Ice Fire Toad aside.

A great amount of magma instantly appeared over Su Yu's arm, and its terrifying heat caused the temperature of the air to rise continuously.

Drops of magma flowed down Su Yu's arm. Each drop that hit the ground burned a pit into the earth.

"With this power, the Ice Fire Toad should be able to withstand it, right?" After considering it, Su Yu condensed a ball of magma and threw it at the Ice Fire Toad.

As the Ice Fire Toad watched the magma hurtling toward it, a hint of wariness appeared in its eyes. No matter how mindless it was, it could still sense the magma's terrifying temperature.

A mass of ice instantly burst from behind the Ice Fire Toad, rapidly forming a massive wall of ice.

The instant the wall met the magma, it began to melt. Before two seconds had passed, the condensed ice wall had melted away completely. Just as despair appeared in the Ice Fire Toad's eyes, Su Yu grabbed it from the ground and tossed it away.

"Sigh, forget it. You little guy won't do. I'd better go find Er Ming instead. That guy's thick-skinned and tough, so he'll be fine. Hurry home, little guy, or I'll have your father teach you a lesson, hear me?"

Su Yu pulled a long face as he looked at the shivering Ice Fire Toad lying on the ground.

After saying that, Su Yu left. Not long after he departed, the Ice Fire Toad got to its feet and ran home.

"Er Ming, I'm counting on you. I'm developing my Third Soul Skill, so I need your help. A soul beast over a hundred thousand years old like you can't possibly be unable to handle it, right?" Su Yu smiled at Er Ming.

Seeing Su Yu's smile and hearing his request, Er Ming naturally could not refuse. More accurately, he did not dare refuse. He might be simple-minded, but he was not stupid. If he refused Su Yu's request, Da Ming might throw him out and disown him that very night.

Besides, Su Yu was an Auspicious Beast, the one who had helped him raise his cultivation by a great deal. His future cultivation would still depend on Su Yu. Su Yu was also his friend. Testing a soul skill was an easy matter, wasn't it?

"Come on, Su Yu. I, Er Ming, am not like those flashy little tramps outside. Bring it on." Er Ming pounded his chest hard and spoke with a confident expression.

Da Ming, standing nearby and listening to their exchange, could not help but cast Er Ming a helpless glance.

A gentle wave of Soul Power flowed from Da Ming's body and wrapped around Xiao Wu, who was still condensing her Soul Ring nearby. Under the effects of Da Ming's Soul Power, Xiao Wu gradually floated into the air and landed atop Da Ming's head.

"Then, Er Ming, here I come!" Su Yu let out a low roar. Countless magma bullets condensed before him, and with a sweep of his arm, they shot toward Er Ming.

Er Ming watched the many magma bullets strike his body without saying a word, as though he felt nothing. However, Su Yu could see faint burn marks on Er Ming's body.

Though they were not obvious, Su Yu was quite satisfied. When Er Ming broke through, his cultivation had increased by several years. His current strength could already rival that of an ordinary Rank 96 powerhouse.

Moreover, Er Ming was a soul beast—the Titan Giant Ape with top-tier bloodline. If Su Yu could burn a soul beast like him, it fully proved that Su Yu's attack was powerful.

"Su Yu, your attack is truly powerful. Even I felt a bit of pain. If a human isn't a Soul King, they simply won't be able to withstand this attack. And even a Soul King won't have an easy time taking it head-on."

Er Ming looked at Su Yu with an earnest, simple expression. Su Yu nodded as well. He was not discouraged by this result. After all, it was already very good for a Third Soul Skill to possess such power. Besides, the strength of Su Yu's Third Soul Skill had yet to be fully unleashed.

If Su Yu were to obtain Heavenly Flames through Fishing in the future, this soul skill might instantly become his strongest. After all, magma empowered by certain Heavenly Flames would likely increase in power severalfold.

"Thanks, Er Ming. I'll come find you to test soul skills again next time." Su Yu smiled, flew onto the Titan Giant Ape's body, and patted its head.

"Da Ming, do you have somewhere for Xiao Wu to stay? You can't keep Xiao Wu on your head all night, can you? And from what I can see, her Soul Ring should be nearly done condensing." Su Yu looked at Xiao Wu atop Da Ming's head and asked in puzzlement.

"Uh..." Da Ming could not help but feel embarrassed at Su Yu's question. Soul beasts like them had always used the sky as their blanket and the earth as their bed. They had never had things like houses.

"Sigh, no need to say more. I understand. I'll do it myself. Once I've prepared it for Xiao Wu, Da Ming, control her and send her inside." Su Yu sighed and spoke helplessly.

After saying that, Su Yu flew down from Er Ming's body.

Wind and Thunder Power appeared beneath Su Yu's feet. Thunder Flash activated instantly, and Su Yu quickly arrived in a forest.

He took out the Bone Blade, casually chopped down several trees, and dragged them back to the outskirts of the Lake of Life.

Half an hour later.

Su Yu looked at the little wooden house before him and nodded slightly.

"Mm, my craftsmanship really is good. Alright, Da Ming, let's begin." Su Yu spoke to Da Ming, the Sky Azure Bull Python.

A surge of Soul Power instantly flowed from Da Ming's body and enveloped Xiao Wu. After watching Da Ming send Xiao Wu inside, Su Yu smiled, nodded to Da Ming, and headed straight toward his little house in the depths of the Lake of Life.

Su Yu moved quickly, returning to the house in only ten minutes. He immediately lay on the bed, hugged his precious Qiu'er egg, and fell asleep.
