First Trial Complete! The Seven Elemental Gods' Second Trial Descends

Feng Xiaotian had been so frightened by Lin Yu's aura that his legs went weak, his body trembling uncontrollably. His face was filled with terror as he roared inwardly, Holy shit, what kind of monster is this kid?!

He no longer dared to stop Lin Yu. Instead, his legs gave out and he slumped onto the ground, cold sweat covering his body as he muttered endlessly, "Yellow, purple, black... yellow, purple, black..."

"Xiaotian! Are you all right?!"

Feng Tianxiao hurried over and helped his son to his feet.

"I'm fine, Dad. But who exactly is that kid? How could he have such a terrifying soul ring configuration? He's already a three-ringed Soul Elder at such a young age!" Feng Xiaotian stared at Lin Yu's departing back, still unable to recover from his shock.

"With an angel-type martial soul, and the ability to nurture such a genius, Spirit Hall is probably the only possibility on the continent today."

"Xiaotian, take a good look at what a true genius is. Before long, that boy may become famous throughout the entire world of soul masters."

"He will become an unparalleled powerhouse of your generation!" Feng Tianxiao said with utmost gravity.

At that moment, Lin Yu had already arrived before the Swift Wind Demon Wolf.

"Swift Wind Demon Wolf, fight me."

"Awwooo!"

The sleeping Swift Wind Demon Wolf opened its eyes. One look at them was enough to tell that it was an exceptionally vicious wolf.

It slowly rose to its feet and looked up at Lin Yu in midair. Its wolfish face immediately twisted into a savage snarl, baring its ferocious fangs.

Its sharp claws scraped against the ground, and beneath its fierce gaze lurked a hint of greed.

That was right—it had taken Lin Yu for prey.

"Awwooo!"

With a wolfish howl, it instantly leaped up and swung its sharp claws.

It was incredibly fast!

The strength of soul beasts lay in their bodies, which were several times more powerful than those of human soul masters. Other than soul beasts over ten thousand years old, most of them relied on their physical bodies to fight.

If one were struck by those savage wolf claws, it would be extremely lethal.

Unfortunately, humanity was heaven's favored race!

The human body was the ideal form for combat!

"First Spirit Ability, Elemental Control!"

"Space Control, Space Teleportation!"

Just as the wolf claws came down, Lin Yu instantly vanished from midair and appeared behind the Swift Wind Demon Wolf.

He could now instantly control space across a distance of more than five meters!

He extended both hands and switched to Dark Dominance.

Above the demon wolf, a square iron cage formed from hardened dark energy condensed into existence, composed of sharp black iron rods.

"Darkness Control, Darkness Cage!"

"Descend!"

Bang!

With a downward sweep of Lin Yu's hands, the Darkness Cage instantly slammed down from above, suppressing the demon wolf against the ground.

His darkness attribute could devour an opponent's Soul Power.

Thus, when Lin Yu developed techniques for Darkness Control, he had focused primarily on control.

The demon wolf was now pinned tightly to the ground by the Darkness Cage, while its energy was devoured to restore Lin Yu's Soul Power.

"Second Spirit Ability, Elemental Body!"

Lin Yu activated his enhancement ability, and his aura began to surge wildly.

All attributes increased by one hundred percent, while elemental power increased by fifty percent.

Lin Yu's body had already been terrifyingly powerful. With the enhancement, his physical strength now surpassed even that of a Soul King.

"Roar!"

The demon wolf broke free of its restraints, leaping up once more and clawing at Lin Yu.

"Heh."

Lin Yu smiled and charged at the demon wolf as well.

Just as its claws were about to strike Lin Yu, he executed an incredibly precise turn at the very limit, slipping past it by a hair's breadth!

He dodged!

And in that instant, he threw a punch.

It smashed viciously into the demon wolf's face!

Bang! Boom boom!

The demon wolf's body crashed into the ground, howling in pain.

"So powerful!!!" Feng Xiaotian was dumbfounded.

Before the demon wolf could react, Lin Yu kicked it again.

"Awoo...!"

What followed was Lin Yu utterly pummeling the demon wolf!

"Hey, hey, hey! No way! A Swift Wind Demon Wolf over a thousand years old, and it's getting tossed around by this kid without being able to fight back at all!!"

"Too strong! He's seriously too strong!"

Feng Xiaotian clutched his head and shouted in disbelief.

"Looks like a fifteen-hundred-year Swift Wind Demon Wolf is only this strong."

Lin Yu lost interest.

"Then it's time to end this battle."

Watching the Swift Wind Demon Wolf charge at him again, Lin Yu finally got serious.

"Awoo!! (Damned human! Die!)"

The demon wolf's eyes were bloodshot as it lunged at him in a frenzy.

"Earth Control, Earth Barrier!"

Lin Yu slapped the ground, and a massive Earth Wall rose from the earth five meters ahead.

The quality of this Earth Wall was fairly ordinary; the demon wolf shattered it with a single swipe of its claw.

Because Lin Yu had never intended to use the Earth Wall to block it. He had created a blind spot instead, and the instant the demon wolf broke through the wall, he leaped into the air.

Bang!

The Earth Wall shattered, but the demon wolf was stunned. The human had vanished!

"Hey! I'm above you!" Lin Yu's lips curled upward.

"Awoo?"

The demon wolf raised its head, but Lin Yu's fist had already gathered an enormous blaze.

Fire Fist!!

Bang! Boom boom!

"Awooo~!"

The terrifying final blast of flames slammed the demon wolf viciously to the ground, leaving it barely alive.

The battle was over.

The voice of the Seven Elemental Gods rang in Lin Yu's ears.

"Elemental God First Trial completed. Reward: Soul Power increased by 1 level; all soul ring ages increased by one thousand years."

"Finally, the First Trial is complete."

I wonder what the second trial will be. As Lin Yu thought this, the Mark of God on his forehead began to emit divine power. It flowed through his body, warm and comfortable.

His Soul Power immediately broke through from the peak of level 34 to the peak of level 35.

The color of his first soul ring beneath his feet also began to gradually change. Seeing this, Lin Yu immediately withdrew it, since Feng Xiaotian and his father were still present.

His soul ring configuration became purple, purple, black.

An increase of one thousand years in soul ring age was nothing special for Lin Yu's third soul ring, but for his first soul ring, it was an enormous improvement.

His first ring was now 1,650 years old.

Soon, the voice of the Elemental Gods rang out again.

Elemental God Second Trial: Within two years, reach Soul Power level 40 or above, and independently kill three Soul Emperor experts of different types: assault, agility, and control. Reward: Soul Power increased by 1 level; all soul ring ages increased by two thousand years.

"Kill three Soul Emperors within two years, and they have to be assault, agility, and control types. This Second Trial is still no small challenge!"

Lin Yu's face darkened as he read the contents of the Second Trial. It was not that he thought it was too difficult; he seriously suspected that the Seven Elemental Gods had altered the difficulty.

"Hey, seven great gods, did you change the trial's difficulty?"

If Lin Yu remembered correctly, the Divine Realm imposed certain restrictions when gods tested their own successors.

Gods could not arbitrarily alter the content of the trials.

And Lin Yu remembered correctly. Trial content could not be casually changed; this was to prevent certain gods from letting their successors coast through easily just because they were eager to pass on their Divine Position Inheritance.

But if the difficulty was increased, the Divine Realm would not interfere at all.
