Facing This, There Was Only One Move to Use!

"Bzzzt—!"

The chainsaw's blade spun at high speed, emitting a buzzing roar that echoed through the forest.

An inexplicable fear made Gu Yue take half a step back. Her ponytail swayed lightly with her movement amid the waves of sound, while her violet eyes reflected Li Jinsheng slowly advancing with the chainsaw in hand.

Li Jinsheng was only six years old, yet his temperament was already this brutal.

Li Jinsheng did not look at Gu Yue. He walked straight toward the bear's head. Rather than cutting through the bear's neck as one might have expected, he shoved the chainsaw into its mouth in an even crueler manner.

In an instant, blood splattered across Li Jinsheng's clothes, but the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed.

Gu Yue knitted her brows, trying hard to recall any Soul Masters in Douluo Continent's history who possessed life-attribute Martial Souls and such vicious temperaments.

After thinking it over, she felt that Li Jinsheng could sit at the same table as an Evil Soul Master.

Watching blood and gore fly everywhere, she silently took another step back. She felt that his life attribute was already trying its hardest to restrain Li Jinsheng's personality.

If he had possessed any other attribute, she did not dare imagine how much crueler he would be.

As the Thousand-Year Crystal Bear was successfully killed, golden spiritual energy rose up and split into two in midair, entering Gu Yue and Li Jinsheng's bodies respectively.

After sensing the subtle changes in her body, Gu Yue looked at Li Jinsheng again. Blood stained the young man's fair face, and his snow-white shirt had already turned crimson.

"Let's keep going deeper into the forest!" Her voice was as calm as she could make it, but having only just arrived in the human world, she was learning for the first time just how diverse humans could be.

Though Li Jinsheng barely counted as human diversity. He was more like life-form diversity.

The boy gave a grunt and raised a hand to wipe the blood from his face, only to smear it into an even more ferocious mess.

He put away the chainsaw, picked up his axe again, and followed Gu Yue deeper into the forest.

As they ventured farther in, the light grew dimmer, and the trees became taller and denser.

The two had just crossed a small stream when a gust of whistling wind came from above.

It was a snake, flying three meters above the ground.

It looked to be around six to eight meters long. A fleshy crest sat atop its head, larger than the head itself and red as blood. Its tail was rather distinctive, shaped like a fan.

"That's a Thousand-Year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent!"

Gu Yue stopped and looked at the giant snake, immediately recognizing it.

When Li Jinsheng saw the snake, his scant knowledge of Soul Beasts told him that this seemed to be Oscar's Third Soul Ring.

"It can fly. How are we supposed to fight it?" Seeing its body suspended above the ground, he could not help frowning. His anti-air abilities dealt no damage at all.

Before his words had faded, the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent suddenly dived. Its target was none other than Li Jinsheng. Its forked tongue flicked as it rushed to within moments of reaching him.

The boy swiftly rolled forward, barely dodging the attack.

As Li Jinsheng turned over, his First Soul Ring flashed beneath his feet, and an emerald beam shot straight into the snake's body.

Five Senses Deprivation: Touch Deprivation!

The Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's body instantly went rigid. Like a bird that had lost its tail feathers, it lost its balance in midair, top-heavy and unsteady as it crashed straight into the woods.

"Bang—bang—"

Dull impacts rang out as tree trunks were struck one after another. As though it could no longer feel pain, the snake's body thrashed wildly at the surrounding trees, unable to find its bearings.

Li Jinsheng stared at the scene in surprise. Losing one's sense of touch could stop someone from flying? Still, human balance depended on the coordination of several organs, so it probably would not work as directly on humans as it did on Soul Beasts.

"This..." Gu Yue increasingly felt that Li Jinsheng was anything but simple. At the very least, among the humans she knew, his First Soul Skill was the most absurdly overpowered.

What normal control-type Soul Skill could possibly be this outrageous?

And what Soul Master's First Soul Skill worked like a switch?

That was right—Li Jinsheng had taken out the chainsaw and walked over again!

First, he cut off the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's crest, preventing it from using the nutrients stored within to achieve an instant burst of speed.

Then, the chainsaw directly severed the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's head. His dismemberment techniques were becoming increasingly practiced.

Watching Li Jinsheng gradually reveal his true nature, Gu Yue felt that something was more and more wrong. Something had been off ever since his Soul Skill.

She quietly reminded Li Jinsheng, "Let's continue exploring! If we run into something we can't beat, we'll leave!"

"Okay!" Li Jinsheng nodded.

As they continued deeper into the forest, whenever Li Jinsheng activated his First Soul Ring, his personality changed completely. He would charge in directly with his axe and chainsaw.

His previously gentle face would instantly turn incomparably cold.

Gu Yue increasingly felt that his life attribute could no longer suppress Li Jinsheng's brutal nature. As expected, he was an innately evil human brat!

As a Hundred-Year Mandala Snake was slain, a stream of golden mist rose up. The spiritual energy split in two and entered their bodies, while the yellow Soul Rings beneath their feet abruptly changed color, becoming purple Soul Rings.

First Soul Ring! Thousand-Year!

"I really am a genius! A thousand-year First Soul Ring is no pressure at all!" Seeing this, Li Jinsheng planted his hands on his hips, brimming with pride.

A thousand-year Soul Ring—previously, only a Soul Elder could withstand one at minimum. Yet he was only six years old, with no resources or background to support him, and he could absorb one so easily.

"Can't I handle one too? Let's keep looking," Gu Yue said, rolling her eyes at the idiot. As a genius specially groomed by the Spirit Pagoda, what was there to be proud of about absorbing a thousand-year Soul Ring?

Suddenly, battle roars and the sounds of snapping branches rang out continuously from the woods. It seemed that some enormous creature was charging toward them at high speed.

Li Jinsheng's pupils contracted, a dark-gold figure clearly reflected in his eyes as it rapidly closed in on him.

It was a colossal creature.

A giant bear covered entirely in dark-gold fur, standing over three meters tall. Its arms were exceptionally thick, its broad, powerful shoulders like city walls.

At the ends of its two massive arms were incomparably sharp dark-gold claws, each one over a meter long.

One of the most powerful soul beasts in the soul beast world—the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.

According to legend, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear had been one of the powerful Fierce Beasts of ancient times. An adult Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear had no natural enemies. Even true dragons might not come out ahead against them.

Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bears were solitary soul beasts. Whether in offense or defense, their strength stood at the absolute pinnacle of the entire soul beast world.

Li Jinsheng knew how powerful this soul beast was. Even with the Lord of Soul Beasts here, two one-ring Soul Masters still couldn't break the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's defenses.

Fight it? What a joke.

Even knocking it unconscious would be a thankless task. They couldn't kill it at all!

His expression turned grave as he muttered to himself, "Looks like I can only use that move!"

Hearing him, Gu Yue couldn't help feeling puzzled. Could this guy be hiding a Self-Created Soul Skill? But he's only six!

"What move?"

"Right, I still have one move left!"

Just as Gu Yue eagerly anticipated what skill this human genius was about to reveal, she saw him spread his legs and shout, "Run away!"
