Rasengan Reveals Its Might, Instantly Slaying a Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

Powerful!

Powerful beyond anything he had ever felt! Feeling the explosive strength coursing through his muscles and bones, Su Chen nodded in satisfaction.

The Eight Inner Gates Formation truly deserved to be called the number one taijutsu in the Ninja World. Merely opening the Third Gate had granted him such immense power.

The youth had a feeling that, as he was now, he could hang that Thousand-Year wolf soul beast up and beat it senseless.

"It's just a pity that my body isn't strong enough yet. The Third Gate can only last for about a minute right now. Do I need to end this quickly?"

"Still, that's enough time."

Su Chen bared his teeth slightly, revealing a flash of white. His blood-red eyes fixed upon the wolf leader, which had begun to tremble and back away.

"Don't worry. You're the last one."

The youth lightly pushed off with his toes—

Bang!!

The branch beneath his feet instantly shattered from the recoil. A streak of green light cut through the air, trailing a surging blast wave as it appeared before the utterly stunned Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo. The fierce wind whipped up their hair and robes, yet the two seemed completely unaware of it.

Bang! Bang!!

Amid miserable howls, the wolf pack charging at them was sent flying one after another. Their bodies twisted at unimaginable angles; they clearly would not survive.

In mere moments, nothing remained around them.

The youth nodded at the two of them in greeting, then instantly transformed into a streak of green light and vanished.

"That level of strength is already close to that of a Soul Ancestor, isn't it??!!"

"Th-this is also the ability of a Thousand-Year Soul Ring? It can raise someone from a Soul Master to a Soul Ancestor in one go? What kind of joke is this!!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo pointed at Su Chen with a trembling hand, his lips quivering. "Even a Martial Soul Avatar can't raise someone by thirty ranks at once, can it??"

Ghost Douluo remained silent.

He had no idea what words could describe the current situation. In just one day—less than two short hours—this youth had overturned everything the two of them thought they knew several times over.

If the Body Flicker Technique and Substitution Technique were still within their understanding, then this horrifying boost in strength from a first soul ring was something they had truly never seen before. Even the fourth or fifth soul ring, or even a Martial Soul Avatar, did not possess such a powerful enhancement ability.

And this was only Su Chen's first soul ring.

When he truly obtained a Martial Soul Avatar...

Ghost Douluo did not dare continue that thought.

Miserable cries rang out in succession. Airwaves churned and dust filled the air. Within only a few breaths, the only one still alive was the wolf that had retreated dozens of meters away. Its four legs had gone weak, and it let out a terrified whimper.

Too fast—it had been far too fast!

In less than a few breaths, its entire pack had been slaughtered by this human, this tiny human!!

Run, I have to run now!!

I can't die here. Even if the pack is dead, it can still reproduce. I have to live—I have to become a Ten Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

Crack.

After snapping the last wolf's neck, the youth tossed its body aside without even looking at the yellow soul ring rising from it. He then turned his gaze toward the trembling Thousand-Year wolf soul beast.

"Such backbone? Even now, you can still hold yourself back from running?"

Su Chen looked at the Thousand-Year wolf soul beast, which had already collapsed limply onto the ground, with some surprise. Then he nodded in approval.

Fortunately, Thousand-Year wolves could neither understand human speech nor speak themselves. Otherwise, it would have definitely started cursing him out.

Do you think I don't want to run!?

My legs are too weak—I can't run!!

"Since that's the case, I'll give you a quick death."

Su Chen dispelled the Eight Inner Gates Formation and let out a faint breath.

This move felt great to use, but it consumed quite a bit of Chakra and put a tremendous strain on his body. Otherwise, if he opened the Eight Inner Gates and then activated his first soul skill, he could become even stronger.

Of course, the duration would be cut by at least half.

"Rejoice. You should be the first living creature in this world to die by this move."

Buzz!!!

The youth extended his right hand. Chakra rapidly gathered, forming an azure, continuously spinning sphere of energy. Its chilling fluctuations drew the attention of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

"That is..."

The two stared blankly at the tiny sphere of light, both sensing the immense destructive power contained within it.

Whoosh!!

The youth's figure instantly vanished. When he appeared again, he was already above the Thousand-Year wolf, which was still struggling to retreat.

Body Flicker Technique, and—

Rasengan!!!

Boom boom boom boom!!!

Before the Thousand-Year wolf soul beast's horrified eyes, the blue sphere erupted violently against its body. Like a meteor carrying an overwhelming force, it blasted through over a hundred trees and sent it flying a full hundred meters. Only after smashing through a boulder the size of a small hill did it barely come to a stop.

Crack!

Trees toppled one after another, creating a hundred-meter-long clearing!

"Gulp."

Chrysanthemum Douluo swallowed hard. Pointing at the disaster-like scene, his voice trembled.

"Th-this is also a soul skill from the first soul ring?"

At that moment, Yue Guan deeply suspected that his Thousand-Year Soul Ring was fake.

Naturally, he could now cause destruction on this scale, perhaps even something far more exaggerated. But—

He was a Titled Douluo!

Su Chen was merely a Soul Master, a Soul Master!!

This was a first soul ring???

"High-speed movement, substitution, an enhancement ability that can boost someone by thirty ranks at once, and now an offensive ability with almost no casting buildup, tremendous piercing power, and devastating impact."

Ghost Douluo drew a deep breath. Looking at the youth, who seemed somewhat drained, he spoke as if in a dream.

"To possess such extensive and well-rounded abilities from a first soul ring... if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have considered it utter fantasy."

"This is no longer simply talent."

"This child is a monster—an absolute monster. I'm afraid that for the next ten years, perhaps even the next hundred years, someone like him may never appear again."

"Fortunately, someone like him has appeared in our Spirit Hall. Otherwise..."

Gui Mei looked at Yue Guan. Both of them saw the complicated emotions in each other's eyes.

When Su Chen returned after storing the Thousand-Year wolf leader and the Linwu Silkworm's corpse in his Storage Soul Tool, he found the two Titled Douluo staring at him as though he were some kind of monster.

Mm, it seems my goal has been achieved.

Judging by their reaction, though, I may have gone a little overboard.

The youth thought to himself.

"Elders, I—"

"Don't say anything yet. Let me catch my breath first!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo took a deep breath and looked at the handsome youth standing before him bare-chested, his muscles lean and well-proportioned.

Those black eyes held no trace of pride or excitement—only a calmness and composure completely unsuited to his age.

Yue Guan, who had originally intended to temper Su Chen's sharpness, immediately lost heart.

He's really a fucking monster—whether it's his talent, strength, or temperament.

Why are you so calm?

You just killed two Thousand-Year Soul Beasts!!!

"Put on some clothes first."

Ghost Douluo was somewhat calmer. He took out a black robe from his Storage Soul Tool and handed it to Su Chen.

"You brat, you've truly opened the eyes of us two old fellows."

Seeing him put on the robe, Gui Mei could not help but give a bitter smile. Then, somewhat curiously, he asked, "Mm, can you tell us how you killed that Thousand-Year Linwu Silkworm—the first Thousand-Year Soul Beast? Of course, if it's inconvenient, you don't have to say."

Su Chen shook his head. "Of course I can. It isn't anything private. Before I set out, my father gave me a special Soul Tool containing his full-powered attack. It can only be used once. I relied on it to deal with that soul beast."

He had prepared that explanation long ago. The Soul Tool and Su Xiao's attack had both been arranged beforehand as well.

At present, the Gunbai had only displayed the ability to contend with a Thousand-Year Soul Beast. It was nowhere near enough to make others covet it, and besides, it was not particularly important.

Sure enough, Gui Mei nodded thoughtfully. "I see. Then let's head back first. We can discuss the rest after returning to Spirit Hall."

Just as Su Chen had expected, Ghost Douluo had only asked in passing.

Such Soul Tools were rare, but not unheard of. He had merely been curious.

After all, the Linwu Silkworm was among the best of the Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, but it was still only a Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
