Netherworld Wolves themselves were not particularly powerful Soul Beasts. They were fast, and they carried an Innate Soul Skill called Netherworld Light. Aside from increasing their speed, Netherworld Light could also reduce the damage caused by physical attacks to a certain extent.

Among all Soul Beasts' Innate Soul Skills, it was considered a fairly ordinary existence.

Judging from the Body Type of these Netherworld Wolves and the slightly illusory Netherworld Light on their bodies, their cultivation levels were all below a hundred years. Their lean builds made them look not especially huge, but those pairs of dark green eyes were exceptionally chilling.

Through the number of eyes, Lu Binzhou quickly confirmed how many Netherworld Wolves there were. Eleven in total. The leading Netherworld Wolf was a size larger, and seemed to have nearly a hundred years of cultivation.

However, to Lu Binzhou, whose cultivation was at the peak of three rings, this pack of Netherworld Wolves was completely beneath notice. The reason he acted so cautiously was purely to ensure that Yu Nanyuan did not suffer even the slightest harm. Back then, Yu Zhen had taken great care of him at Eastsea Academy, so he was naturally especially attentive about this.

"Awooo—" The wolf howls rose and fell through the quiet, deep forest, sounding especially mournful and making one's hair stand on end.

Lu Binzhou subconsciously prepared to say something to Yu Nanyuan beside him. Although he had guessed that Yu Nanyuan was very likely Innate Full Soul Power and had already successfully fused with a Soul Spirit to advance to the Soul Master realm, very few people could remain calm when entering the Spirit Ascension Platform for the first time and truly facing a Soul Beast's attack. Let alone when Yu Nanyuan was only six years old.

But in the next instant, he was horrified to discover that Yu Nanyuan's figure had long since vanished from his side.

"Clatter, clatter, clatter—" The crisp sound of chains sliding rang out. Lu Binzhou abruptly turned his head to look ahead.

He saw countless chains blooming with dazzling silver light drill out from the void, filling the forest within a fifty-meter diameter, like silver stars shining in the dark woods. And Yu Nanyuan fell from the sky at the center of this Sea of Silver Stars. The gentle smile on his face disappeared, replaced by an indifference calm to the extreme.

These chains were a special existence between solid and illusory, countless avatars transformed from his Martial Soul, Void Chains. In theory, as long as his soul power was sufficient to sustain it, Void Chains could transform chain avatars without limit for his use.

Just like many Soul Masters with Vine Plant Tool Martial Souls. The Martial Soul's main body was only one, but it could extend countless branches.

Void Chains' main body had shrunk considerably, coiling around Yu Nanyuan's right arm. The slender wedge similar to a spear tip was firmly controlled in his right hand. It was like he was gripping a sharp Silver Dagger in a reverse hold.

A scene that shocked Lu Binzhou beyond measure appeared.

In just a few short breaths, Yu Nanyuan's figure flickered more than ten times. Silver light swept past, and ten Netherworld Wolves had already been separated from their heads before they could react. This forest returned once more to silence.

The Silver Chains in the sky continued to pulse. Yu Nanyuan's figure disappeared from where he stood again, appearing beside one of the chains stretching across the sky above the forest, falling downward in a free-fall posture.

Just as Yu Nanyuan's body was about to hit the ground, a black shadow suddenly pounced out from a dark corner. It was precisely that leading Netherworld Wolf. A pair of dark green wolf claws reached out, its eyes filled with ferocity.

This was, after all, a Soul Beast with close to a hundred years of cultivation. If he were struck head-on, he would undoubtedly be ripped open from chest to abdomen.

Yet Yu Nanyuan remained unhurried. In truth, from the very beginning, he had sensed this leading Netherworld Wolf lurking in the dark through his released Spiritual Power.

Another Silver Chain descended from the sky, and Yu Nanyuan's figure also flickered again with the appearance of this chain, shifting horizontally to the back of that Netherworld Wolf. His body turned sideways, and the slender, sharp wedge in his hand stabbed deeply into the leading Ghost Wolf's skull.

The entire motion was smooth as flowing clouds and running water, without the slightest unnecessary movement, pleasing to the eye.

Lu Binzhou's gaze had long since gone dull, while Yu Zhen and Ji Hongyu, who were watching the situation inside the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform from the outside world, could not help widening their eyes as well.

"No soul ring appeared. This is a talent attached to his Martial Soul itself?!"

Only then did Yu Nanyuan land lightly on the ground. Countless Silver Chains around him crisscrossed in every direction, erupting with dazzling silver light. At this moment, he was like a God Child descending to the mortal world, noble and sacred, controlling the order of the world.

Everything in the world seemed to exist to welcome his arrival.

"Chains of Heaven, shuttle through the void." Yu Nanyuan murmured softly as if sensing something. Clusters of faint, barely perceptible light drifted out from the corpses of those Netherworld Wolves, then landed on his body.

This was the energy feedback obtained from killing Soul Beasts inside the Spirit Ascension Platform, capable of raising a Soul Spirit's Year Limit and quality. By hunting one Soul Beast, one could obtain energy equivalent to one tenth of its years and merge it into one's soul rings, then divide it evenly according to the number of soul rings.

Yu Nanyuan was currently only a One Ring Soul Master and did not need to distribute the energy to other soul rings. After hunting down this pack of Netherworld Wolves, the Year Limit of his First Soul Ring directly increased by more than twenty years. It was equivalent to his First Soul Spirit, the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake, gaining more than twenty years of cultivation out of thin air.

Unfortunately, after the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake fused with him, it had fallen into slumber because it was receiving feedback from his Martial Soul Void Chains' higher-tier Space Attribute. These improvements could not be reflected in greater detail for the time being.

As for the ability Yu Nanyuan had just used, it was indeed, as Yu Zhen and Ji Hongyu had said, a talent attached to his own Martial Soul.

Void Chains could shuttle through the void and appear from any position according to his will, provided it was within the range his Spiritual Power could lock onto. His main body could also instantly move to the vicinity of Void Chains, and the consumption of his own soul power was not too great.

From this, the strength of his Martial Soul could be seen. This was practically equivalent to gaining a Teleport Soul Skill out of thin air, and it had even greater advantages than the Teleport Soul Skills any Soul Master obtained through soul rings or soul bones.

At this moment, Lu Binzhou, who had come back to his senses, had already strode forward to Yu Nanyuan's side. His terrifying weight seemed to make the earth tremble.

"Nanyuan, you..." Lu Binzhou opened his mouth dryly.

Yu Nanyuan smiled faintly, then shook his head somewhat apologetically.

"Sorry, Brother A Bin. I just thought that pack of Netherworld Wolves happened to be suitable for testing my Martial Soul's abilities. I won't act on my own again from now on."

"It's fine, it's fine." Lu Binzhou waved his hands repeatedly with a simple and honest expression. If earlier he had only taken extra care of Yu Nanyuan because of his relationship with Yu Zhen, now he had truly been convinced by Yu Nanyuan's shocking talent.

He knew full well that this Eastsea City could not confine someone like Yu Nanyuan, a Heaven's Chosen. If he could build a good relationship with Yu Nanyuan before he grew up, it would definitely benefit him for life.

Those who could stand out from an advanced academy like Eastsea Academy had never been truly stupid.

Just then, a thunderous boom from not far away made Yu Nanyuan and Lu Binzhou instantly become alert. To dare cause such a huge commotion in the Soul Beast Forest meant the other party had confidence.

One towering tree after another collapsed, and an enormous creature revealed itself. This fellow's body length reached an astonishing six meters. It stood on two feet, and its entire body was covered in iron-gray scales. At the very center of its forehead grew a huge single horn.

A Unicorn Dragon, an extremely ferocious Sub-Dragon Soul Beast. It possessed Dragon Bloodline, and its physical strength was extremely formidable. Moreover, judging from this Unicorn Dragon's Body Type and ferocious aura, it was clearly a genuine Thousand Year Soul Beast.

Noticing Yu Nanyuan and Lu Binzhou's presence, this Thousand Year Unicorn Dragon did not hesitate in the slightest and charged directly toward them. Its ferocious nature was revealed in full.

Take it slow. The next chapter will write the First Soul Skill showing off. Following during the new-book period is very important, so everyone, don't stockpile it. X﹏X. Come on, monthly tickets and Recommendation Tickets, support this little mouse.
