Two Void Turtles, Xu Sanshi's Interference

"Get ready to attack. The Void Turtle's weak point is its abdomen—focus your attacks there," Zhang Lexuan reminded them.

"Wait!" Just as Beibei and Xu Sanshi were about to make their move, Shiyu suddenly shouted.

"Are you trying to sabotage my acquisition of a Soul Ring?" Xu Sanshi immediately snapped, pinning the accusation on Shiyu.

"Idiot." Shiyu cursed before pointing toward a spot in the forest within the Basin, his expression slightly delighted. "There seems to be another Void Turtle over there. I sensed an aura similar to that Void Turtle drinking water."

"But it's much weaker. If its age is suitable, I want that Spirit Beast's Soul Ring."

"You sensed another one?" Xu Sanshi did not believe him.

Zhang Lexuan carefully extended her senses in that direction, then looked at Shiyu in surprise. "There does indeed seem to be another Void Turtle over there."

"If so, Shiyu's Soul Ring might be settled too," Jiang Nannan said happily for Shiyu.

Shiyu's mood brightened at once. He only hoped the Spirit Beast's age suited him.

"In that case, you can deal with the weaker Void Turtle. I'll handle this one myself," Zhang Lexuan decided, personally stepping in.

Void Turtles possessed formidable defenses and also wielded Spatial Power. Their attacks could catch people off guard, and sending them against this five-thousand- to seven-thousand-year Void Turtle carried considerable risk.

She had already been considering taking action herself. Now, she was firmly resolved.

"Alright." Shiyu naturally had no objection.

Jiang Nannan and Beibei both nodded, while Xu Sanshi looked utterly unwilling.

"Attack directly. It's unrealistic to sneak up on a Void Turtle without making a sound," Zhang Lexuan said, taking the lead as she charged out.

The Void Turtle that had been drinking suddenly sensed danger and, without hesitation, sprayed water toward the direction from which it felt the threat.

The water bullet shot forth with no small amount of power. An ordinary Soul Ancestor truly would not be able to withstand it.

Zhang Lexuan's expression turned icy. Cold Clear Moon appeared behind her, and as her Martial Soul manifested, Soul Rings emerged in succession.

Shiyu, who was hurrying toward the other side, could not help looking over. He saw two yellow, two purple, and three black Soul Rings.

A Seven-Ring Soul Saint. This differed somewhat from Zhang Lexuan's Soul Power Level when she appeared in the original story.

But that was understandable. At least two and a half years remained before the point when she appeared in the original story, which was enough time for her to advance to Soul Douluo.

It would not take Zhang Lexuan long at all to reach Soul Douluo. Her Soul Power had already reached Rank 79, and she had remained at that level for more than three months.

At most, she might successfully break through within another month.

I wonder what her exact Soul Power Level is now. Shiyu was rather curious.

Once Zhang Lexuan's Soul Rings appeared, the third one lit up. A beam of Moonlight shot out, transforming into an incomparably sharp weapon that shattered the water bullet and shot straight toward the Void Turtle.

The attack was so fast that the Void Turtle had little chance to make any further response.

Light shone across the surface of his turtle shell, carrying peculiar spatial fluctuations.

Zhang Lexuan's gaze narrowed slightly. She had not expected a Void Turtle at only a few thousand years of cultivation to have awakened an Innate Skill.

She was merely surprised for a moment, not afraid.

The attack was fast enough and domineering enough that it pierced through the Void Turtle's shell before he had time to truly activate his Substitution Skill. A miserable cry unique to turtle-type Spirit Beasts rang out.

With just one attack, the five-thousand- to seven-thousand-year Void Turtle was severely wounded. Its shell was shattered, its entire body covered in Fresh Blood, and it was already on the verge of death.

"So strong." Shiyu was astonished, unable to stop himself from comparing Zhang Lexuan with Zhao Wujin, the Soul Saint he had met before.

He felt Zhang Lexuan was stronger. Her presence surpassed Zhao Wujin's by a notch.

Zhang Lexuan landed steadily and did not attack again, merely watching Shiyu and the others.

After entering the forest, they indeed discovered another Void Turtle.

This Void Turtle was more than half the size of the one outside, though it was still far larger than an ordinary turtle.

Jiang Nannan, Beibei, and Xu Sanshi attacked together. Before long, they had beaten the Void Turtle to the brink of death.

"Xu Sanshi, what are you doing?" Seeing that Xu Sanshi still intended to attack, Shiyu immediately shouted to stop him.

Xu Sanshi turned to look at him, a smile curling over his lips as he raised the Mysterious Nether Turtle Shell Shield to strike the little Void Turtle that had already lost its fighting ability once more.

The Void Turtle's shell had been smashed to pieces, and it was near death. This blow might directly kill it.

"Xu Sanshi, don't attack again!" Jiang Nannan shouted as she rushed over to stop him.

Seeing Xu Sanshi do this, Beibei was in no position to say much. He neither stopped him nor helped him.

"Aeronautics Technique!" Seeing that Xu Sanshi had no intention of stopping, Shiyu hurriedly activated his First Soul Skill.

He cast it as quickly as possible, targeting the little Void Turtle lying helplessly on the ground.

This Void Turtle weighed nearly a thousand jin, so lifting it was quite strenuous.

Shiyu gritted his teeth and held on, raising the Void Turtle into the air as quickly as he could.

He had finally encountered a Space Attribute Soul Beast that might suit him. He could not let Xu Sanshi kill it, or how was he supposed to absorb its Soul Ring?

Xu Sanshi was about to leap up and attack the Void Turtle. In its current state, the Void Turtle definitely could not endure his shield smashing down with full force.

Just then, Jiang Nannan Teleported over and kicked straight at him.

Xu Sanshi's expression darkened. Even without defending, he still intended to smash the Void Turtle to death.

Jiang Nannan's expression changed. She had not expected Xu Sanshi to be so determined.

Shiyu was frantic. At this point, he could no longer worry about anything else. The Power of Space and the Power of Time within him were activated almost simultaneously.

He vanished from where he stood, reappearing right in front of Xu Sanshi. The Power of Time took effect, slowing the shield Xu Sanshi was swinging toward the Void Turtle.

Clang! The Eight Spider Lances behind Shiyu shot out at high speed, appearing just in time to block the Mysterious Nether Turtle Shell Shield as it smashed down.

Shiyu was sent flying by the blow and crashed into the Void Turtle, knocking it away to the side before it fell heavily to the ground.

Xu Sanshi's shield was knocked back, and Jiang Nannan also kicked him in the chest.

Because he had not defended himself, that kick sent Xu Sanshi flying far away.

Beibei acted in time to catch Xu Sanshi. After landing, he staggered back several steps before steadying himself.

"Damn it!" Xu Sanshi was furious. He had failed to smash the Void Turtle to death, and Shiyu would still get to benefit from it.

"Xu Sanshi, have you lost your mind?" Jiang Nannan landed and shouted angrily.

Without waiting for Xu Sanshi's answer, she ran toward Shiyu, who had fallen to the ground, to check on him.

Seeing Jiang Nannan react like that made Xu Sanshi even angrier. Why was the difference between her attitude toward him and Shiyu so great?

"Shiyu, are you alright?" Jiang Nannan came over and helped Shiyu up.

"I'm fine." Shiyu coughed a few times and recovered, shaking his head slightly. Other than some pain in his back, he was alright.

"Xu Sanshi, you're a fucking lunatic!" Shiyu cursed in a low voice, wishing he could go over and slap Xu Sanshi a few times. That bastard.

"You're courting death!" Xu Sanshi angrily tried to attack, but Beibei held him back. Senior Sister was still here. If Xu Sanshi made a move, he would definitely be punished.

"I'll remember this. One day, I'll come settle things with you," Shiyu said, unable to swallow his anger as he threw out a threat.

Hiss— As soon as he finished speaking, Shiyu could not help sucking in a sharp breath, pain making his forehead burn.

He turned to look behind him. The Void Turtle, which had been on the verge of death, had bitten down on his lower leg. Its bite force was tremendous, nearly tearing off a chunk of his flesh.

Jiang Nannan was startled and quickly stomped on it repeatedly, but the Void Turtle stubbornly refused to release Shiyu.

Shiyu used the Eight Spider Lances behind him to stab fiercely into the Void Turtle's shattered shell.

Under the successive attacks, the Void Turtle, already near death, finally could not hold on any longer and lost its life.

"It's already dead, yet it's still biting me. How much do you hate me?" Shiyu said helplessly, forcefully prying open the Void Turtle's jaws.

"I'll apply some medicine."

Seeing Fresh Blood streaming from Shiyu's lower leg and the large bite mark there, Jiang Nannan hurriedly took out the healing medicine she carried with her.
