"Never expected that Soul Beast to choose to attack our junior."
As if to ease the tension, Zhang Mingyu forced a relaxed smile.
Usually lazy and laid-back, Lin Yi now wore a rare expression of seriousness. The brush with death earlier had not caused this peerless genius to lose his composure.
Hearing Zhang Mingyu's words, Lin Yi calmly replied, "That's normal. My Cultivation Level is the weakest among us. That Soul Beast's intelligence should be quite high, so hunting me really is the easiest choice."
"Besides, Soul Beasts' senses are far sharper than humans'. My twin Extreme Attributes probably can't be hidden from it. If it eats me, it could gain at least ten thousand years of cultivation. Small investment, huge return. That Soul Beast is pretty smart."

Lin Yi's gaze shifted slightly. Golden Perception, as a passive ability, was always active. At that moment, a message came through via Radiance.
"Careful, it's here!"
A silver figure shot toward them. All they saw was a streak of silver flashing everywhere, so fast that they could not make out the Soul Beast's appearance at all.

Ouyang Xi, who surpassed Zhang Lexuan in both age and cultivation, naturally would not allow Zhang Lexuan to steal all the glory.
A clear phoenix cry rang from her lips as Radiance
