Immeasurable Void, a New Soul Skill

Afterward, Su Hao and Gu Yue looked toward where the sound had come from and saw Tang Wulin's crystallized body standing in front of Xie Xie.

At the same time, Tang Wulin's body still held the posture he had been in when he pushed aside the surrounding shrubbery.

Seeing Tang Wulin crystallized, Xie Xie anxiously asked:

"Wulin, what happened to you?"

Gu Yue and Su Hao, who had recovered somewhat, walked over to Tang Wulin and Xie Xie. Su Hao looked at the crystallized Tang Wulin and the anxious Xie Xie, then calmly said:

"Xie Xie, don't panic. Wulin ended up like this because of the crystal spikes the Crystal Bear I killed earlier fired in all directions after its death.

Wulin has only been crystallized. He can't move or press the help button. As far as I know, as long as the body isn't damaged after being crystallized by a Crystal Bear, the crystallization will slowly fade away after two hours.

We could forcibly destroy Wulin's body to make him return, but after he returns, he would feel the pain of his body being shattered. That could very likely cause him psychological damage.

So all we need to do is stay here and watch over Wulin, making sure no other Soul Beasts come and damage his body."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Xie Xie calmed down as well.

Su Hao then looked at Gu Yue, who had only slightly recovered, and Xie Xie, whose face was somewhat pale, and said:

"Gu Yue, Xie Xie, the two of you should recover here first. The commotion from when I killed the Crystal Bear could very well draw other Soul Beasts over.

If you're not in good condition, I'll have to distract myself looking after you later."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Gu Yue and Xie Xie came to their senses. They each found a clean spot not far from Tang Wulin and sat down to recover their Soul Power.

After seeing Gu Yue and Xie Xie begin recovering their Soul Power, Su Hao found a tree and leaned against it. He began reviewing the battle he had just fought while remaining alert to the movements around him.

"My Soul Skills are still lacking. They're barely enough for group battles or prolonged fights, but right now, I lack a powerful offensive Soul Skill—preferably one that can kill in a single strike. I also need a defensive Soul Skill, and that defense should ideally remain active at all times. Otherwise, something like what happened to Tang Wulin could easily happen again."

"As for a powerful offensive Soul Skill, I don't have any ideas yet. But I do have an idea for that defensive Soul Skill: Gojo Satoru's Limitless Technique from Jujutsu Kaisen in my previous life. I can also use Space Law, so I can create my own Limitless Technique.

And given my current circumstances, creating this Soul Skill should be extremely simple. After all, I know the principles, and I possess the ability. All that remains is to put it into practice.

With my luck, no matter what kind of Soul Skill it is, as long as I know the principle or have an idea, and that idea is theoretically feasible, once I possess the necessary power, I can create it very quickly."

With that thought, Su Hao slowly adjusted his Space Law, attempting to create a Limitless Technique of his own.

While Su Hao was experimenting with the Limitless Technique, he suddenly sensed an attack coming from behind him. He urgently dodged to the side and turned to look.

He discovered that the creature that had attacked him was a Sharp Feather Sparrow of around ten years. It was a bird-type Soul Beast as common as stray dogs by the roadside. Among bird-type Soul Beasts, Sharp Feather Sparrows had no particularly outstanding traits and were food for larger birds. The reason they had survived was their rapid and prolific reproduction. They could lay a clutch every month, with each clutch hatching more than a dozen Sharp Feather Sparrows. It was precisely because of their fast and abundant reproduction that Sharp Feather Sparrows had survived until now.

Yet this Sharp Feather Sparrow actually dared to attack him. Su Hao did not even feel like using a Soul Skill.

So Su Hao exerted gravity on the Sharp Feather Sparrow flying through the air, drawing it into his hand. In the next second, amid its cries, the bird's body was pulled helplessly into Su Hao's grasp.

Su Hao then squeezed slightly, crushing the Sharp Feather Sparrow to death in his hand. He flung it at a nearby tree, producing a bang. The tree shook, and several leaves slowly drifted down from its branches.

Su Hao casually shook his hand, then discovered that the leaves falling from the tree remained suspended above him, unable to descend, while leaves farther away continued drifting slowly to the ground.

Seeing this, Su Hao realized that his Limitless Technique had succeeded. He immediately performed a few more tests.

He condensed an Air Cannon in his right hand and fired it at a distant tree. A large number of leaves instantly drifted down, but as soon as they approached Su Hao, they remained suspended in the air without falling.

Su Hao then controlled the law and set the range to a few centimeters around himself. Only then did the surrounding leaves slowly fall to the ground.

Seeing that he had successfully created this Soul Skill, Su Hao could not help feeling a little delighted. After naming the Limitless Technique he had created Immeasurable Void, he found another tree and leaned against it once more.

Not long after Su Hao leaned against another tree, Gu Yue and Xie Xie recovered one after the other. The two exchanged a glance, then each found a tree near Tang Wulin to lean against or sat down nearby.

Just as Tang Wulin was about to awaken, Su Hao suddenly sensed some movement coming from the forest in the distance and immediately warned Gu Yue and Xie Xie.

Su Hao and the other two then looked toward the shrubbery where the sounds had come from. There, they saw a creature.

An Earth Lizard of around three hundred years slowly emerged from the shrubbery, its tongue flicking out.

Upon seeing that it was only an Earth Lizard of around three hundred years, Su Hao and the others let out a sigh of relief. Gu Yue and Xie Xie then recalled the Earth Lizard's traits and weaknesses.

Gu Yue spoke first:

"The Earth Lizard's strengths are its enormous power, high defense, and extremely fast short-distance bursts. Its sense of smell is also no worse than that of some Soul Beasts skilled at tracking prey.

Its weakness is that it isn't good at long-range attacks. As long as it hasn't set its sights on you, if you run away for a while, it will retreat on its own..."

Before Gu Yue could finish, Su Hao controlled the surrounding tree roots and bound the Earth Lizard before them. He then condensed the Metal Element scattered through the air into an iron spike made of refined iron and viciously drove it down from above into the Earth Lizard's brain.
