Little Girl

Now in the outer reaches of the Star Dou Great Forest, it's relatively safe for Ye Mo. However, finding a suitable Soul Ring for him in the periphery is likely impossible.

Ye Mo isn't even sure what attribute his Millennial Fox Martial Soul possesses. Could it be a Spatial attribute?

If it is a Spatial attribute, then finding a suitable Soul Beast for him will be difficult.

Casually dispatching a group of Wind Baboons, Ye Mo heads deeper into the forest. But something feels strange. Logically, the deeper he goes, the more Soul Beasts he should encounter.

Why has he only run into groups of Wind Baboons?

Suddenly, a cold wind assaults him from behind, carrying a heavy oppressive force.

An ambush!

Ye Mo smiles. "You want to play ambush with me?"

Purple light surges from beneath his feet, and a deep purple Soul Ring encircles Ye Mo. The Soul Ring noticeably flickers.

Thump.

The attacker misses completely, facing only a faint purple light in the shape of a fox.

Ye Mo sees the attacker clearly: a 10-meter-long yellow python. Judging by its aura, it should be around the millennial level.

When he used his Spatial Soul Skill just now, the Millennial Fox Martial Soul became even more agitated. To be safe, he'll use his second Martial Soul.

"Perfect, I'll use you to test my new Soul Ring," Ye Mo says calmly, looking at the python before him. His aura changes, and blue lightning arcs crackle around him. A faint blue glow covers his purple, bewitching eyes, making him look incredibly domineering.

The Thunder Shadow Sword appears behind Ye Mo, vibrating slightly, almost as if the grotesque face on the hilt is laughing.

Ye Mo grips the Thunder Shadow Sword, and a deep purple Soul Ring rises beneath his feet.

"Hiss!"

The yellow python hisses, flicking its tongue. A Soul Beast of its level isn't stupid; it clearly sees that Ye Mo intends to use a Soul Skill.

Its massive tail sweeps towards Ye Mo. Ye Mo looks disdainfully at the approaching tail, and the purple Soul Ring floating beside him flickers.

His entire being, sword and all, transforms into a streak of blue light surrounded by a mass of lightning, colliding fiercely with the massive snake tail.

Pfft!

A section of the massive snake tail is actually sliced off!

As the azure light slowly fades, Ye Mo nods in satisfaction, looking at the severed snake tail before him. "This Soul Skill isn't bad. Strong enough."

"Hiss!"

The yellow python hisses in pain, writhing its injured, enormous body. Its originally green eyes are now bloodshot.

It was actually injured by this tiny human, who chopped off its tail. What an utter disgrace!

A powerful surge of Soul Power erupts from its entire body, signaling that it's about to fight desperately.

Green flames emerge from the yellow python's body, and it hurtles towards Ye Mo with incredible speed. As it nears Ye Mo, its mouth opens to an astonishing degree, emitting an indescribable stench.

It's so fast that, although Ye Mo reacts, he doesn't have time to dodge. He has no choice but to take the hit head-on.

The Thunder Shadow Sword is thrust directly into the python's mouth, emitting a blue light. The python's mouth is also wreathed in flames.

The flames seem to act as armor for the creature, blocked by the Thunder Shadow Sword, which can't pierce through.

To maintain the Thunder Shadow Sword Martial Soul's physical form, Ye Mo's Soul Power is rapidly depleting.

But the yellow python can't do anything to Ye Mo either. That terrifying Soul Skill from earlier inflicted such severe damage in an instant. It has no choice but to resort to its trump card. At this point, its only chance of victory is to deplete the human's Soul Power.

And so, the two face off.

It wants to fight a war of attrition with me? Ye Mo raises an eyebrow. If it's a war of attrition, then you, you big dumb snake, have made the worst possible decision.

The True Essence within Ye Mo's body rapidly circulates, converting into Soul Power. The rapidly depleting Soul Power not only stops decreasing but actually starts to slowly recover.

After a while, the flames on the yellow python's body gradually fade, while the Thunder Shadow Sword in Ye Mo's hand radiates a dazzling blue light, and the surrounding lightning grows more intense.

In the instant before the flames are completely extinguished, the yellow python suddenly clamps down on the Thunder Shadow Sword, twists its head, and flings Ye Mo dozens of meters away.

Ye Mo had anticipated this sudden move.

The Soul Ring beneath his feet flickers once again, and his entire being transforms into a streak of blue light, slashing towards the head of the yellow python, which is trying to escape.

Pfft! The yellow python's head is severed, and after twitching a few times, its body lies stiffly on the ground.

A faint purple Soul Ring floats from the yellow python's corpse. The aura suggests it's around the 2000-year level.

"I actually fought a 2000-year-level Soul Beast for so long. It really makes one feel like a failure," Ye Mo says with a sigh, releasing his grip on the Thunder Shadow Sword. The sword silently disappears into Ye Mo's body.

If an ordinary Soul Elder heard this, they would absolutely want to strangle Ye Mo. Even they wouldn't dare guarantee a sure victory against a 2000-year-level Soul Beast, yet this mere level 20 Soul Master actually defeated one!

It's simply heaven-defying!

"Big brother, you're so amazing!" a youthful, girlish voice rings out.

What's this?

Ye Mo looks around. A girl with purple hair and purple eyes stands not far from him, looking to be only about 10 years old.

Her eyes, unlike Ye Mo's, seem clear and filled with starlight.

She wears a purple dress, making her look like a little angel.

Ye Mo watched the little girl, not letting her expression fool him. He was now deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, and anyone standing safely near him was no ordinary character.

"What's wrong, big brother? Why are you staring at me like that?" the little girl asked with a playful smile, her voice full of joy.

"Who are you? Why are you here? This isn't a place for helpless people," Ye Mo said, his eyes fixed on the girl. He felt a strange sense of familiarity with her.

"Me? I'm waiting for someone, waiting for a person destined by fate," the little girl said, her playful expression vanishing as she looked at Ye Mo with a serious face.

A person destined by fate?

Suddenly, the Millennial Fox Martial Soul in his mind stirred restlessly, so much so that Ye Mo couldn't suppress it, nor could he find a way to.

"What the hell, did it take Viagra?"

Ye Mo clutched his head. Moreover, the Millennial Fox Martial Soul was sending him a message, indicating that it wanted to leave his body.
