Soul Beasts Are Only Fit to Become My Soul Rings

"Boom!!"

The Titan Giant Ape's mountain-sized fist came crashing down again, smashing the area where Lin Mu had been standing into a bottomless crater as dirt and shredded vegetation sprayed into the air.

Yet Lin Mu had long since vanished from where he stood.

As a speed-type armor, Tuo Na Duo of Hurricane could teleport a thousand meters in a second, equivalent to three times the speed of sound!

An absolute stats monster.

Lin Mu's figure left streaks of afterimages through the air. In an instant, he appeared several hundred meters away, then transformed into a hurricane the next second and swept back, constantly darting around the Titan Giant Ape.

"Roar!!!"

The Titan Giant Ape roared furiously, its fists wildly pounding the ground and its surroundings.

Its lantern-like eyes were filled with anxiety and rage. Sister Xiao Wu had been taken away by another human and could be in mortal danger at any moment.

It had to get rid of this troublesome fellow quickly, then go save Sister Xiao Wu!

Under its terrifying strength, nearby trees were destroyed like straw, the earth shook without end, and deep fist-shaped craters were left everywhere.

Yet no matter how the Titan Giant Ape attacked, Lin Mu always evaded before the blows could land, graceful and completely unhurried.

The Titan Giant Ape's terror lay in its immense strength, while its weakness was its lack of speed. Especially before Lin Mu, it could only be toyed with.

After seeing all its attacks miss, the Titan Giant Ape grew utterly enraged and swiftly locked its gaze onto Lin Mu.

"Buzz—"

An invisible force field abruptly spread outward from the Titan Giant Ape. The surrounding space instantly became viscous and heavy, while the ground suddenly sank under the field's influence.

This was the Titan Giant Ape's innate domain: Gravity Control Domain!

Within this domain, everything would endure gravity several times or even dozens of times stronger than normal. Even the simplest movements became difficult.

However, at the instant the domain unfolded, Lin Mu had already transformed into a cyan streak of light nearly impossible to catch with the naked eye. At a speed almost like teleportation, he escaped the domain's core area and landed steadily at its edge.

So what if it had a domain? Tuo Na Duo of Hurricane moved at three times the speed of sound. He could escape the domain's range in an instant.

If he increased his Soul Power output, he could go even faster. Not even a Titled Douluo could catch him.

Feeling that terrifying speed, the corners of Lin Mu's mouth could not stop rising.

"Fierce Kite Fierce Bow!"

With a wave of Lin Mu's right hand, wind elements gathered in his palm. Cyan-green light continuously condensed, swiftly forming an exquisitely shaped bow wreathed in flowing currents of wind.

Then, the Fifth Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up. Countless wind elements compressed rapidly at his fingertips, forming an incomparably solid cyan arrow.

Though he had changed from Flame of Nawa to Tuo Na Duo of Hurricane, his Soul Rings had not changed. Only the fire element had become the wind element.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Ten Thousand Arrows Volley!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The arrows left the bowstrings and became a dense rain of arrows in midair, accurately shooting toward every part of the Titan Giant Ape's body, specifically targeting its relatively weaker defenses.

The Titan Giant Ape roared and swung its enormous arms to block them.

Its thick fur and hardened keratin provided exceptional defense. Most of the arrows caused no real damage, or at most pierced its skin.

Attack was not Tuo Na Duo of Hurricane's strength to begin with. Besides, Lin Mu's Soul Power was only at rank seventy, so seriously injuring the Titan Giant Ape was simply unrealistic.

Still, though he could not heavily injure the Titan Giant Ape, he could continuously wear it down with his speed advantage.

Just as the Titan Giant Ape swung its arms in defense, an arrow streaked through and viciously pierced the soft flesh beneath its armpit.

The other arrows followed close behind, likewise attacking its relatively vulnerable spots.

Although these attacks did little and did not even count as minor injuries to the thick-skinned Titan Giant Ape, small amounts added up. Sooner or later, they would make it collapse.

In only a few minutes, the Titan Giant Ape began roaring in impotent fury, its bellows making the entire forest tremble.

The Titan Giant Ape accumulated more and more wounds, yet this human had not suffered the slightest injury. Even after exhausting every possible method, it still could do nothing to him.

In its hundred thousand years of life, it had never seen a Soul Master this fast. Even Titled Douluo were nowhere near a match for this fellow.

The longer this dragged on, the more danger Sister Xiao Wu would be in.

Worst of all, this human was shamelessly slippery and impossible to touch. This made the Titan Giant Ape even more furious, its eyes turning blood-red as though it were about to go berserk.

At that moment, Lin Mu stopped attacking and descended before the Titan Giant Ape as a hurricane.

The Titan Giant Ape was just about to smash this bastard to death with a punch, but its movement froze the next second.

"Er Ming, that's your name, right?"

After successfully startling the Titan Giant Ape, Lin Mu continued, "I know about your relationship with Xiao Wu, and I also know Xiao Wu is a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast, a transformed Soft Bone Rabbit."

The Titan Giant Ape's pupils abruptly contracted at those words, and shock and fury surged through its heart.

"For Soul Rings and Spirit Bones, you killed Sister Xiao Wu's mother, and now you're setting your sights on Sister Xiao Wu too!"

"Die!"

Seeing that this human knew of those matters, the Titan Giant Ape's killing intent intensified. It leaped high into the air, its massive palm carrying howling winds as it slapped toward Lin Mu.

Yet Lin Mu's figure flashed, and he instantly appeared atop its broad shoulder!

The Titan Giant Ape instinctively raised a hand and slapped at its own shoulder, only to miss again. Lin Mu had already teleported to its other shoulder.

"Xiao Wu won't die. She was poisoned by a Man Faced Demon Spider, but I already detoxified her. Her life isn't in danger."

Standing on its shoulder, Lin Mu spoke calmly, though his voice carried an unquestionable pressure. "But your attitude pisses me off. Tell me, what do you think would happen if I went back, killed that little rabbit, and absorbed her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone?"

"You dare!!!"

The Titan Giant Ape let out an earth-shaking roar. Its rolling sound waves carried a trace of barely perceptible panic.

"Why don't you see whether I dare?" Lin Mu snorted coldly, his gaze sharp. "You should know very well what a transformed soul beast means to Soul Masters."

The Titan Giant Ape's struggles gradually slowed. Its chest heaved violently as it panted heavily, its lantern-like eyes filled with rage, unwillingness, and a deep sense of helplessness.

After a long silence, it let out a dull, thunderous growl and pleaded, "Human, as long as you do not harm Sister Xiao Wu, I will agree to anything."

"Very good."

Lin Mu flashed and landed ten meters away from it. "I currently lack a seventh Soul Ring, and I think you are quite suitable. As long as you sacrifice yourself to me, I can swear that I will not harm Xiao Wu."

Whether it was the Sky Azure Bull Python or the Titan Giant Ape, they were nothing more than soul beasts in his eyes.

Soul beasts were only fit to become his Soul Rings.
