"Third Soul Skill, Gravity Enhancement!"
As a beam of light shot out from Zhao Wuji, Su Chen immediately felt his entire body grow considerably heavier.
The problem was that his speed of resolving things was not fast enough.
Besides increasing his own speed, another method was to weaken the opponent's speed.
Due to the characteristics of Zhao Wuji's martial soul, it was difficult for him to equip soul skills that could increase his speed.
So he had chosen this soul skill that could slow down his opponent.
"A thousand-year soul skill is only this much?"
His increasingly heavy body did not place much burden on Su Chen.
After being reforged, his body was already comparable to that of a true soul beast.
This level of gravity was still far from enough to restrict his movements.
"Now it's my turn."
Only one-sixth of the soul ring lit up and rose into the air, releasing a dazzling golden light.
Only then did everyone notice it.
Countless soul beast imprints covered that illuminated one-sixth of the soul ring.
The dazzling golden light was released by one of those imprints.
Upon closer inspection, they found it was a gigantic bear baring its fangs and claws.
Its burly body, thick fur, and savage expression—
It seemed to be Zhao Wuji's martial soul, the Vajra Bear.
"My strength... is draining away?"
As the golden light flashed, Zhao Wuji could clearly feel his strength rapidly draining away.
"Third Soul Skill? Six Paths of Reincarnation? Animal Path."
As the Third Soul Ring rose into the air, Zhao Wuji's Soul Power, which had originally been raised to the level of Rank 30, was suppressed once more.
"If this really won't do, why don't you jump up another ten ranks? This level isn't enough to be any fun."
Looking at the tense Zhao Wuji, Su Chen mocked him with a grin.
"What kind of joke is this? How could there be such a powerful soul skill in this world?"
Feeling more than half his Soul Power being suppressed, Zhao Wuji's expression instantly turned solemn.
The youth before him was merely a Soul Elder in his thirties.
Even if he had suppressed his Soul Power back to the Soul Elder level, he was still, in essence, a seven-ringed Soul Saint.
Yet even so, he was being tormented by this Third Soul Skill.
"Fourth Soul Skill? Location Tracking!"
Another purple soul ring rose up. Zhao Wuji could no longer afford to care about his dignity as a senior.
He knew perfectly well that if he did not use this move, he would have no chance of defeating the youth before him.
The purple soul ring flew out from Zhao Wuji and turned into a streak of light that encircled Su Chen.
"A tracking-type soul skill? That really is rare."
Looking at the phantom image of the Fourth Soul Ring around him, Su Chen gave it a light squeeze.
The purple phantom instantly shattered, and the tracking naturally vanished with it.
"Try it again. This time, I won't destroy your tracking."
After confirming Zhao Wuji's soul skill, Su Chen turned to him again.
"You..."
Faced with Su Chen's provocative behavior, a surge of fury rose in Zhao Wuji's heart.
But after thinking of Dai Mubai, who had come with him, and looking at Ziji standing behind Su Chen, he could only suppress his urge to strike with lethal force.
"Fourth Soul Skill? Location Tracking."
As Zhao Wuji released his Fourth Soul Skill again, he ground his teeth in rage.
If not for Dai Mubai behind him, he would have wanted nothing more than to devour Su Chen alive.
"Vajra Palm!"
The Fourth Soul Ring and Second Soul Ring flashed at the same time. Leaping into the air, Zhao Wuji thrust out both palms.
It was as though he intended to destroy Su Chen outright.
"Third Soul Skill? Animal Path."
Su Chen increased the output of his Third Soul Skill, and the momentum Zhao Wuji had just regained wilted once more.
Ziji, watching from the side, also wore a solemn expression.
She could sense that Su Chen's Third Soul Ring was even exerting a suppressive effect on her.
"Second Soul Skill."
A dark crimson robe instantly appeared on Su Chen's body.
Merging with Meng Po once again, this would be Wangchuan's Difficult Crossing at full power.
"What?!"
Zhao Wuji felt the scene before him abruptly change. His body, which had been leaping down from midair, plunged headfirst into the Blood River.
"Teacher Zhao, what is this thing?!"
At the same time, Dai Mubai, who did not even have a First Soul Ring yet, also became entangled with the Blood River.
"What a strange move."
Zhao Wuji smashed several wraiths that had emerged from the Blood River with a single punch.
He had already begun cursing Su Chen's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.
These bizarre creatures seemed endless. No matter how many he struck down, they could not be finished.
Such strange soul rings and soul skills made Zhao Wuji even more certain that Su Chen was a soul beast that had taken human form.
"No, the Fourth Soul Ring locked onto him earlier. If I activate my Fourth Soul Skill now, then even in this strange place, I can still find his true body."
After fighting the wraiths for a long while, Zhao Wuji suddenly remembered his Fourth Soul Skill.
Once an opponent was locked onto, he could instantly close the distance within a hundred meters through his leaping power.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Location Tracking!"
Filled with fury, Zhao Wuji leaped into the air.
With an angry roar, he meant to end this battle that had been filled with provocation.
"Is this all you can do? You disappoint me, Immovable Bright King."
A cold voice rang out, and Zhao Wuji inexplicably felt the threat of death.
"Soul-Reaping Ghoul, Life-Claiming Impermanence!"
Using the time Zhao Wuji had spent fighting the Wangchuan Blood River, Su Chen had conducted a test.
Even while asleep, Little Black and Little White could still release soul skills.
Moreover, the Soul Power absorbed through Life-Claiming Impermanence in this state seemed to be directly converted for Little Black and Little White.
"What is it this time?"
In the next instant, Zhao Wuji felt his body become fixed in midair.
He could not move at all.
Although this was a battle with Soul Power suppressed, Zhao Wuji had originally been a seven-ringed Soul Saint.
Even if he suppressed his Soul Power to Rank 40, he still held a one-ring advantage over Su Chen.
Furthermore, the Vajra Bear was originally famous for its balanced offense and defense.
Under normal circumstances, Soul-Reaping Ghoul would naturally not have been so easy to land.
But the Second Soul Skill had drawn too much of Zhao Wuji's attention.
Without realizing it, Su Chen had already spread his First Soul Skill all across Zhao Wuji's body.
Now that he activated Soul-Reaping Ghoul and Life-Claiming Impermanence again—
Despite possessing immense brute strength, Zhao Wuji could only watch helplessly as he was trapped in place and had his Soul Power drained by Su Chen.
"Teacher Zhao!"
By then, Dai Mubai had already sunk completely into the Wangchuan Blood River up to his waist.
The Wangchuan wraiths were still too powerful for him.
Unable to save himself, he looked at Zhao Wuji, who was frozen in midair.
He could only shout in despair.
"Damn it, this can't go on any longer. Seventh Soul Ring, Martial Soul Avatar!"
Seeing Dai Mubai sink deeper and deeper, Zhao Wuji immediately let out a furious roar.
