Slaying, the War Fan Shows Its Might!

Bang!!

The surging force swept aside everything in its path. Trees were sent flying, and weak Soul Beasts screamed as they were caught in the blast. Two figures flashed past, brutally destroying everything along the way.

Casually crushing a monkey Soul Beast that tried to ambush him, Chrysanthemum Douluo's somewhat effeminate face was filled with anxiety. "Old Ghost, you're faster. Go check on the situation first!"

Although using such immense Soul Power within the Star Dou Forest was unwise and might even draw the attention of certain big shots, Yue Guan could no longer worry about that.

If anything happened to Su Chen, how would he ever face His Holiness the Pope?

Especially after the boy had displayed such astonishing talent.

"Damn it, why is something like this in the outer region? Wasn't it already extinct?"

Even the usually refined Chrysanthemum Douluo could not help swearing. His gaze pierced through layers of foliage and settled on the enormous beast, as well as the tiny white-haired figure in front of it, who was in imminent danger.

"Linwu Silkworm."

This was an exceedingly rare and unique Soul Beast.

Every summer, it transformed into the animal-type Soul Beast, the Dragon Silkworm, possessing immense defensive and offensive power and the ability to move freely.

Every winter, it transformed into the plant-type Soul Beast, the Wood Lin Flower. It could only root itself in one place, but possessed immense vitality and near-immortal traits.

Because both forms were so powerful, whether it was the Dragon Silkworm or the Wood Lin Flower, they rarely had any natural enemies. Even at a thousand years old, they could contend with Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts!

However, this Soul Beast had one fatal weakness.

Whenever it advanced, for a single day, it not only lost the Dragon Silkworm's monstrous defensive and offensive power, but, like the Wood Lin Flower, could only root itself in one place and could not move easily. It also lost its immense vitality and immortal traits, transforming into a special Soul Beast of the "null" attribute: the Linwu Silkworm.

In this state, the Linwu Silkworm was incredibly frail, yet its body possessed tremendous energy value. To both Soul Masters and Soul Beasts, it was an exceptional tonic.

Not only was it coveted by Soul Beasts, but it was also hunted by human Soul Masters. Over the past century, it had nearly gone extinct.

As a result, this type of Soul Beast rarely managed to grow to ten thousand years.

Yet now, one had appeared in the outer region of the great forest—and Su Chen had happened to run into it.

Chrysanthemum Douluo no longer knew whether his genius was lucky or unlucky.

But Yue Guan knew that this was absolutely not an opponent Su Chen could face at his current stage.

No matter how frail the Linwu Silkworm was, it was not something someone who was not even a Soul Master could touch.

On the contrary, the Linwu Silkworm in its current state was even more dangerous to Su Chen!

Even a trapped beast would fight, let alone a Soul Beast.

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, the Linwu Silkworm would absolutely strangle every possible threat in the cradle.

Bang bang bang!!!

Wooden spikes carrying violent force rained down densely, engulfing the entire area. Trees, flowers, grass, even the Soul Beasts caught in the attack—all were torn apart and pierced through.

Yet amid the nearly imperceptible gaps in that violent storm, a white figure darted back and forth like a swimming dragon, making one nearly impossible movement after another to evade attack after lethal attack.

"Pfft!!"

Another unlucky Soul Beast had been dragged into the disaster by Su Chen, buying him a brief moment of time.

"Hah... what a pain."

Su Chen panted softly. The tomoe in his blood-red eyes had spun into afterimages, yet he could only barely catch traces of the attacks' trajectories.

Most of the reason he could evade those attacks was that his battle instincts allowed him to make predictions in advance.

Fortunately, he had been soaked in potions developed through research in the Ninja World since childhood and subjected to scientific training. Otherwise, the physical strength of a six-year-old would never have been enough to sustain him for this long.

Even so, Su Chen could feel himself nearing his limit.

"Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo will arrive in about six more breaths?"

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the boy stared intently at the restless Soul Beast as he calculated rapidly.

"In other words... huh?"

Boom!!

An even more violent attack came hurtling toward him. The boy narrowly avoided it, but his tattered clothes were completely shredded to scraps, exposing his evenly proportioned upper body.

The Linwu Silkworm seemed to sense the approaching death as well, and its attacks became even more frenzied. The pressure Su Chen faced multiplied at once. Several times, attacks that could have smashed him apart barely grazed past him, their fierce winds leaving streak after streak of blood across his body.

Yet the boy's eyes lit up.

Taking advantage of the brief gap between two attacks, Su Chen did not hesitate to switch his Sharingan to the Byakugan.

X-ray vision!

Just as I thought, it's injured. Does it want to eat me and then escape?

At the Soul Beast's roots was a tangled, condensed node. Its energy was rapidly leaking away through that node.

From the beginning, Su Chen had sensed that this Soul Beast's greed toward him was greater than its urge to repel an intruder from its territory. Rather than driving him away, it seemed to want to devour him completely.

Thinking of Hu Liena's strange reaction when he had injected Chakra into her body during the awakening of his martial soul, Su Chen could basically conclude that Chakra was an energy that absolutely surpassed Soul Power. It held enormous attraction and benefits for living creatures.

The fact that this Soul Beast had sensed Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo approaching yet still refused to flee, insisting on eating him first, only confirmed his guess.

All living beings sought benefit and avoided harm. Although this Soul Beast appeared unable to move easily, Su Chen did not believe it was completely incapable of moving.

Compared to him, it was more likely making a desperate final gamble.

The corners of the boy's lips curled slightly as a mad idea surfaced in his mind.

After memorizing that node, Su Chen switched back to his scarlet Sharingan. Rather than dodging along the edges, he charged straight toward the Soul Beast's main body!

"Fuck!!!!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo, who had been watching the scene closely, felt his eyes split with fury. Light streamed around his body as nine Soul Rings abruptly appeared, and his speed surged again—but it was clearly too late.

"Ahhh, you little bastard, are you out of your mind?!!!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo roared, but he could only watch as the sky full of green swallowed the white-haired boy's figure.

"It's over."

Yue Guan stopped in a daze, feeling dizzy as his entire body seemed to fall into an icy abyss.

Because of his negligence, a future Titled Douluo had died here just like that.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it... huh?!"

Boom!!!

Under Chrysanthemum Douluo's stunned gaze, a surging pillar of energy shot into the sky. The shockwave it unleashed blasted everything around it in every direction, tearing a massive hole through the dense forest and revealing the blue sky beyond.

Beneath the golden sunlight, the white-haired boy stood in the center of the ruined battlefield, holding a huge, strange war fan. Before him floated a deep-purple Soul Ring carved with profound runes.

It was a Thousand-Year Soul Ring, representing the death of a Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
