Sacred Light Netherflame Art!

As the surroundings lit up, Bei Bei and Tang Ya finally saw what the shadow looked like.

"It's a Mandala Snake—a thousand-year Mandala Snake! Bei Bei, I want this one!" Tang Ya cried out urgently, her pretty face filled with immense delight.

Bei Bei was far steadier than Tang Ya. His thick right arm had just collided with the Mandala Snake, and he staggered back three or four steps.

"Xiao Chen!"

His gaze narrowed. Rather than responding to Tang Ya, he shouted Ye Chen's name.

As a dutiful grandnephew, Bei Bei knew his granduncle's First Soul Skill extremely well.

"Fusang Above Tanggu!"

Ye Chen chanted silently. The soul power within him surged madly as the little sun formed by the Three-legged Golden Crow released three beams of ultimate light, each entering the bodies of the two humans and the beast.

His First Soul Skill targeted all living beings with soul power in their bodies, including soul beasts.

That was what made his First Soul Skill truly terrifying!

"Haha, that feels great!"

As the light entered his body, Bei Bei felt an indescribable comfort seep into his bones. He could not help but let out a wild cry, barely suppressing the urge to moan.

At the same time, all his abilities were greatly enhanced, while the thousand-year Mandala Snake's movements became noticeably slower.

Ye Chen looked at Bei Bei with some disdain and had no intention of stepping in himself.

In his view, it was only a thousand-year Mandala Snake, yet Bei Bei still needed his enhancement to defeat it. Bei Bei was truly weak beyond belief!

In truth, Bei Bei could have handled it himself, but why not use an available enhancement? It saved stamina and time while also preventing accidents.

In battle, opportunities vanished in an instant.

Bei Bei stopped wasting words. His body shot toward the Mandala Snake, his left arm sweeping out to weave a net of lightning through the air and block its escape route.

At the same time, Bei Bei clenched his right hand, and a dragon fist crackling with purple lightning smashed toward the Mandala Snake's eyes.

As one of Shrek Academy's finest students, he knew that the eyes and mouth were this kind of soul beast's vital weak points—not the so-called seven-inch mark.

After Ye Chen's Soul Power Level reached Soul Grandmaster, his First Soul Skill could now provide a twenty percent enhancement and weakening effect.

With all its attributes weakened by twenty percent, the Mandala Snake was unaccustomed to the sudden drop in speed, and its movements stalled for an instant.

By the time it reacted, Bei Bei's dragon fist was already right before it.

However, it was still a thousand-year soul beast that had fought and survived in the Star Dou Forest for many years. It had plenty of combat experience.

The Mandala Snake reacted hurriedly and barely avoided its vital point. Bei Bei's fist struck the head above its eye.

"Screech!"

As if suffering tremendous agony, the Mandala Snake let out a horrifying cry that made one's scalp tingle.

As it retreated at high speed, its two tiny emerald eyes glared venomously at the human who had nearly inflicted a grievous wound upon it.

Clearly, these humans were far stronger than it had anticipated.

Though it had avoided the vital blow, Bei Bei's punch had landed squarely on its head, leaving it somewhat dizzy and disoriented.

How could Bei Bei let such a good opportunity slip away?

The only purple soul ring on his body blazed brightly. A deep rumble suddenly erupted from within him as scales spread from his right arm across his entire body, which was then covered in blue-violet lightning.

This was his thousand-year soul skill, Wrath of Thunder, which could instantly increase his attack power by fifty percent.

With the additional twenty percent all-attribute enhancement Ye Chen had bestowed upon him, Bei Bei's attack power had now increased by a terrifying seventy percent!

His fist became a claw, and Bei Bei tore a massive wound across the Mandala Snake's body.

Although it once again avoided a vital strike, it could only defend passively, continuously spewing poisonous mist from its mouth.

Ye Chen nodded repeatedly at the sight, thinking that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon truly deserved its former reputation as the continent's most sought-after martial soul. Its attack power was beyond question.

As for now, if Ye Chen said his Taiyin Youying was the second-ranked beast martial soul, which martial soul would dare claim first place?

Just as Bei Bei was about to continue attacking, Ye Chen, who had been watching from the side, suddenly narrowed his eyes. A faint glow radiated from his pupils as he looked toward one side of the battlefield.

His Twin Pupils had not only brought him periodic pain, but also vision far surpassing that of ordinary people.

At the edge of his sight, a dark green figure was rushing toward them at incredible speed.

Though the dark green figure was fast, Ye Chen still caught sight of it.

It was actually a second Mandala Snake!

"Watch out!"

Before he could figure out what was happening, Ye Chen gave a warning and flashed toward the second Mandala Snake.

Bei Bei was currently locked in fierce combat with the first Mandala Snake. If he were successfully ambushed at a time like this, he would definitely suffer serious injuries.

That was not something Ye Chen wanted to see.

Although Ye Chen rushed over the instant he sensed the danger, the second Mandala Snake was simply too fast. It had nearly succeeded.

At the instant the second Mandala Snake lunged at Bei Bei, Ye Chen appeared in front of him, and a beam of ultimate light entered his body.

He knew it—the all-attribute boost had kicked in.

Seeing its path blocked, the Mandala Snake paused, then whipped its massive tail at Ye Chen.

At the same time, a poisonous mist carrying a strange fragrance surged from its mouth, intent on instantly killing this human who dared stand in its way.

Facing this situation, Ye Chen remained calm. The second purple Soul Ring on the Fusang Divine Tree martial soul floating behind him shone brilliantly.

Sacred Light Netherflame Art! Ye Chen silently recited, rapidly mobilizing the Soul Power around him as he unleashed his second thousand-year soul skill.

The remaining Three-legged Golden Crow on the Fusang Divine Tree transformed into a streak of sacred light and instantly attached itself to Ye Chen's right hand.

Even more remarkably, outside the sacred light was a layer of deep-blue flame, radiating a terrifyingly grim and eerie aura.

Though it was clearly a burning flame, it carried not the slightest warmth, as though it were hellfire from the netherworld.

Even Bei Bei, who had reacted from the side, instantly felt a chilling sensation as if he had fallen into hell, every hair on his body standing on end.

The Mandala Snake's experience was completely different. Though its body felt no heat at all, the burning pain truly came from its soul!

Sensing immense danger, it tried to forcefully stop its swinging tail, but it was already too late.

Ye Chen's hair was whipped about by the powerful gusts. His right hand, wrapped in sacred light and netherflames, swung like a blade, releasing a massive slash that struck the Mandala Snake's incoming tail.

The Mandala Snake's tail, originally the hardest part of its body, was now like a lump of cotton, unable to block the blade's radiance in the slightest.

In an instant, Ye Chen severed the enormous snake tail, spraying a wave of foul-smelling green fluid.

The entire sequence happened in one smooth motion, lasting only an instant. The once-ferocious Mandala Snake had become a cripple without a tail.

After finishing this, Ye Chen immediately flashed away, unwilling to let that foul green blood splash onto him.

But when he moved, Bei Bei, who had originally been standing with his back to him, suffered miserably.

Poor Bei Bei—his once elegant green robe was splattered all over with dark-green liquid, as though it had been dyed all over again.

It took me an entire day while outlining to come up with the names of the nine soul skills. I can't help it—I'm just slow.
