Battle Kuang Zhan Again!

"It's you!"

Gu You looked over at the sound. "Isn't this that little bear?"

Kuang Zhan looked exceptionally bedraggled, his body covered in wounds of all sizes, some deep enough to reach the bone.

"**! Damn you*!!" Kuang Zhan's seven soul rings flashed, and his fourth soul ring lit up.

Heavy Domain!

An invisible pressure instantly bore down on Gu You.

Not bad. I actually can't move, Gu You murmured. He released his martial soul, and the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring lit up.

Then I'll slow you down.

As the Ice and Snow Domain spread out, the world around them gradually turned white. The temperature kept falling, and even the surrounding vines stopped expanding.

"R-Red soul ring!!" Kuang Zhan was stunned. When he had fought Gu You before, Gu You had only had two rings. A few hours later, he had gained his third soul ring—and it was fucking a hundred-thousand-year ring. How had he done it?

His vision grew worse and worse.

Kuang Zhan circulated his Soul Power, only to suddenly realize that the flow of Soul Power within him was wrong. It was as though he had suddenly thought of something.

A domain!

He had failed to notice it immediately, mistaking it for a weather change caused by a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill.

Having an absurd skill like a domain with only three rings... How fucking strong would he become in the future? Kuang Zhan hated geniuses. It had always been that way, both now and in the past.

"So what if you have a domain? Before absolute strength, everything is futile!!" Kuang Zhan did not use his battle armor. It had long since been blown apart by the soul tool bomb, and with the vines obstructing him along the way, not even a fragment had been left behind.

His seventh soul ring lit up.

Martial Soul Avatar!

Kuang Zhan's body rapidly swelled to more than ten times its original size, turning into a genuine Bloodthirsty Bear. Its imposing might shook apart the surrounding earth.

"This is exactly what I was waiting for!!" Gu You shouted.

Evil Soul Masters easily went berserk after using their Martial Soul Avatars, especially in terms of reason. At this moment, there was none left at all. This was the best time to kill him.

Gu You's second soul ring lit up.

His pupils turned purple as he silently watched Kuang Zhan.

"Haha! Soul Power Rank Two, and his martial soul is just a stupid bear!!" The surrounding jeers continually stabbed into the young boy's ears. He clenched his fists tightly, only to slowly loosen them in the end.

"Our little Zhan is the best. No matter what martial soul you have, Mommy loves you..."

The boy embraced his mother.

"He's nothing but trash! Trash with only Rank Two Soul Power! And you still want him to become a Soul Master?!" The man argued with his mother.

"But why can't little Zhan do it? Some people don't even have Soul Power," his mother said indignantly.

"How many times do I have to tell you before you believe me? Face reality. I will not agree to this."

They kept arguing, until they even divorced.

That day... his father pushed his mother to the ground. A huge bloody gash was carved into her forehead. Kuang Zhan saw it with his own eyes. From that moment on, a voice lingered in his mind for a very long time.

Kill!

Kill!!

"Why was this world so unfair? Why? No matter how hard he worked, he was never acknowledged. No matter how strong he became, people would see him as crooked and heretical. If that was the case, then he would create an eternal world..." From that moment on, Kuang Zhan's martial soul mutated.

Bloodthirsty Bear!

He personally devoured his father, raising his Soul Power by one rank. Kuang Zhan left home, visiting his mother one last time before his departure. After shedding a few tears, he set out on his journey.

A cool sensation surged through Gu You's mind, and a massive Crystal Bear appeared beside him. "It can really be used like this? Isn't that too ridiculous? If I'd known earlier, I would've asked the Dragon God what exactly was going on."

The Crystal Bear's consciousness was connected to his. They could hear each other's thoughts.

Master!

Gu You clearly heard the Crystal Bear call him master. Though he was somewhat surprised, he felt an even stronger sense of recognition. It came from deep within his heart, resonating with the Dragon God's power. It was a strange feeling, without anything tangible to describe it.

"Turn him into crystal." Gu You pointed at Kuang Zhan's motionless body.

The Crystal Bear obediently swung a paw. At the very last moment, Gu You saw it.

He truly saw it.

Kuang Zhan was smiling.

He had already woken up! Gu You was inwardly shocked. Then why was he still—

Stop!

It was already too late. Kuang Zhan's body crystallized, forever becoming a statue.

"Was that relief?" Gu You muttered.

"Come back."

Yes, Master.

The Crystal Bear merged back into Gu You's mind.

Gu You walked up to Kuang Zhan. "People often say that pitiful people must have something hateful about them. But there's another saying they never mention: hateful people must bear sorrowful pain."

Gu You shattered Kuang Zhan's body. The fragments collided, but there was no blood and no Soul Power—only streaks of radiance shooting toward the heavens.

"I grant you release." Gu You smiled faintly.

In the starry cosmos, the surface of the Douluo Plane was filled with pale blue, making it very similar to Blue Star. It possessed abundant water resources, plentiful sunlight, and dense air and Soul Power, making it highly suitable for human survival and reproduction.

Not far above the plane's surface was something resembling a spaceship. Its identification number was written in a special alphabet, which translated to Federation Republic.

This was Qingkong Space Station, one of the three major space stations. Its main functions were marking, reconnaissance, and support, including monitoring the Sun Moon Federation's weather and climate, detecting powerful individuals, and surveying military terrain.

"Yong Hui, we've lost contact with Second Lieutenant Jiang Xing. Sky Eye's scan just now showed that the energy in that region is extremely unstable. I'm certain they've encountered danger. This is an image taken from three thousand meters in the air. Take a look."

Yong Hui took it. The image showed a massive tree constantly writhing. The entire city in that region had been surrounded, while thunderstorms raged in the nearby weather.

"A snowy region with thunderstorms? That's rather interesting. Notify the Northern Legion. There's at least one Evil Soul Master at or above the Titled Douluo level," Yong Hui said calmly. There was still a difference between satellite images and real-time ground images. Based on his judgment, it should be some kind of creature. In any case, it definitely had something to do with Evil Soul Masters. Something capable of creating such a scene could not possibly be at the Soul Douluo level. It could only be Titled Douluo level or above.

But this was only a minor situation. He had personally witnessed the test detonation of the first Rank Twelve God-Slaying Soul Tool Bomb. The entire Northwestern Continent plate had shifted two centimeters, and the lingering afterglow of the explosion remained even now. That had been a true apocalyptic scene. Even viewed from space, it had been nothing but shocking.

"Are there really Evil Soul Masters above the Titled Douluo level?" Xun could not understand. The Federation had remained peaceful over the past few years. Even when Evil Soul Masters appeared, the strongest had only been at the Soul Sage level. Not even Soul Douluo-level Evil Soul Masters had appeared. If a Titled Douluo-level Evil Soul Master had appeared now, didn't that mean there was more than one? And they had been hiding very deeply... It was impossible not to think deeply about it...
