A Self-Created Soul Skill [Please Follow]

Time flew by, and two and a half years passed in the blink of an eye.

Spirit Pagoda, Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform.

The forest was as deep as the sea. When the wind blew, layer upon layer of green waves rose among the leaves.

The girl wore a pure white dress, its soft fabric clinging tightly to her skin and outlining the beginnings of her figure.

Her black ponytail was tied high, swaying gently in the wind like silk drifting through the forest. Her features were exquisite, especially her eyes, bright and captivating. At that moment, purple light seemed to flow within her black pupils.

"Roar—"

Opposite the girl, a soul beast roared in fury. A massive tiger over six meters long and more than one and a half meters tall at the shoulder stood before her.

This tiger-type soul beast was covered in brownish-yellow fur, densely marked with dark purple stripes that made it look exceptionally strange. One of its eyes was icy blue, while the other was fiery red. Even more peculiar was the pair of wings on its back, one icy blue and the other fiery red.

Ice Fire Demonic Tiger! Four thousand years of cultivation!

It was an existence on the same level as the Man Faced Demon Spider. It excelled at both ranged and close-range attacks, while simultaneously controlling the powers of ice and fire. With wings on its back, it could fly short distances and possessed tremendous combat strength.

Legend had it that if this kind of soul beast died in battle, it could produce two soul rings—one ice and one fire—making it extraordinarily unique.

The three elements of ice, fire, and wind swept through the air, and a signature elemental attack slashed directly toward the Ice Fire Demonic Tiger.

The girl's identity was obvious—Gu Yue, who had been training at Spirit Pagoda Headquarters for two and a half years. Her ponytail danced wildly amid the elements, her heroic bearing making her seem like the sovereign of the elements.

The two sides' elements collided, bursting into red and blue light amid the forest.

In the distance, a black-haired youth noticed the scene. Two dark purple soul rings rose beneath his feet as he stomped heavily onto the ground, kicking up a ring of dust. "Woof Woof Squad! Charge!"

The ground immediately bulged and cracked. Brown earth surged upward as though it had come alive, gathering together.

In the span of a breath, it formed the outlines of several vicious wolves, their fangs bared and their postures savage. They stood motionless, merely rough clay bodies.

The next moment, a jade-green radiance lit up from their bodies. Flowing light passed across every inch of their skin, seemingly granting them true life.

When the light faded, the clay figures had vanished.

In their place stood real soul beasts.

Low growls rumbled from deep in their throats, carrying genuine killing intent as they charged into the distance.

This was none other than Li Jinsheng's Second Soul Skill, Life Creation! It could grant life to lifeless objects.

Although he had many options now, he simply liked using wolf packs.

The youth did not hurry after them, instead strolling leisurely through the dense forest. Dressed in white, with neatly combed black hair and a fair, refined face, he radiated a rich Life Aura.

As long as he did not speak, he looked cultured and gentle.

The wolf pack rushed through the forest toward the Ice Fire Demonic Tiger, leaping directly onto its back and tearing into it.

A vicious tiger against a pack of wolves!

Wolf howls and tiger roars echoed through the forest.

Gu Yue stopped attacking and looked into the depths of the forest. A figure slowly emerged from the gale, and she heard him speak in an irritatingly smug tone. "Well, if it isn't Gu Yue. We haven't seen each other for a moment, and you've gotten this weak? You're having such a hard time even fighting a thousand-year soul beast!"

At those words, the girl's cold and noble expression instantly broke. "Li Jinsheng, you bastard! Can you shut your mouth?!"

The youth curled his lips into an even more punchable expression, raising both hands before him like crab claws. "If you're bad, practice more! The past is the past, and now is now. My strength might not be inferior to yours anymore, so why can't I say it?"

His gaze swept over the demonic tiger, which remained fierce despite being besieged by the wolves, and his tone was light and frivolous. "Leave this soul beast to me!"

"Get lost! I don't need your help!" Gu Yue's voice carried barely restrained anger. Li Jinsheng really could not be treated like a human being! How could there be such a punchable creature?!

And he had only gotten worse over the years!

Her slender arm suddenly rose, and the air around her seemed to bow toward her palm.

The air in the forest began to shriek as the temperature plummeted. Crystalline snowflakes formed out of nowhere, condensing in midair before drifting down.

Li Jinsheng obligingly took half a step back, neatly avoiding the rapidly cooling area.

"Then let me see it! The strength of Miss Gu!"

Purple light flashed in Gu Yue's eyes as she clenched her palm.

The snowflakes that had just been drifting through the air transformed into sharp ice blades, wildly shredding everything around them.

The gale carried ice and snow as it howled and spun, pressing directly toward the Ice Fire Demonic Tiger.

The roar of the elements erupted instantly. The Ice Fire Demonic Tiger's pupils widened in an instant. When had this woman become so terrifyingly strong?!

Its fur, capable of resisting ice and fire, was sliced at high speed in the extreme cold. Like fragile white paper, it was torn apart evenly.

Li Jinsheng could not help sighing. "As expected, Gu Yue is still brutal! I only kill soul beasts that can't feel pain. I'm really too kind!"

After tearing apart the Ice Fire Demonic Tiger, the blizzard did not stop. It tore Li Jinsheng's wolf pack apart as well, their bodies turning back into earth and mixing into the wind and snow.

The youth sensed Gu Yue's hostility. He had only said a few things, yet she held such a grudge. Damn Lord of Soul Beasts!

"Really holding a grudge, huh!"

"Hmph, so what?!"

At that moment, the wind stopped and the snow dispersed. Gu Yue slowly walked to Li Jinsheng's side, glaring viciously at the humanoid creature ahead.

"Let's go!" The young man ignored her and turned to leave!

Just as the two turned around, a streak of azure lightning pounced from the forest. Li Jinsheng reacted swiftly, kicking Gu Yue aside before flipping backward to retreat.

"You did that on purpo—" Before she could finish, she saw a small wildcat emerge. Its entire body was covered in bluish-black fur, while its eyes were violet-red and filled with ferocity. Faint tiger-like stripes could be seen on its body.

A two-thousand-year Tiger Demon Cat.

"Who's taking revenge on you? Do you really think I'm like you? I was saving you!" Li Jinsheng said righteously, then charged somewhat sheepishly at the millennia-old Demon Tiger Cat.

Tiger Demon Cats possessed dual wind and darkness attributes, and their speed was no slouch either. Wings grew from their ribs; while they could not fly, they could change direction in midair.

Even so, Li Jinsheng's left hand still caught it.

"Weren't you quite the jumper?! Take this move of mine! How will you deal with it now?!"

As soon as he spoke, a surging force of life was injected into the Demon Tiger Cat's body.

Gu Yue's eyes filled with confusion. Injecting life force into an enemy? Wasn't that helping it heal?

But in the next instant, Li Jinsheng's Self-Created Soul Skill completely overturned her understanding!

Everyone else fought turn-based battles, but Li Jinsheng was different—he was all about one-shotting you!

The Demon Tiger Cat's entire body convulsed. Savage bone spikes instantly burst through its flesh, creating an exceptionally bloody and horrifying sight.

Bright red fluid flowed down along the bone spikes, leaving scarlet trails across the ground.

"This..." Gu Yue's mouth twitched as she looked at the motionless Demon Tiger Cat, her understanding of brutality thoroughly refreshed.

That was ruthless! So the life attribute could be used like this!

She suspected Bi Ji had been putting on an act around her all along!

Outside the Spirit Ascension Platform, Leng Yaozhu helplessly pressed a hand to her forehead. "Another... another... another Self-Created Soul Skill..."
