The Golden Eye Martial Soul Instinct—Dynamic Vision

The Golden Eye Martial Soul Instinct—Dynamic Vision

As Xu Zihuang defused the attack from that Sea Demon Elephant, the other four Sea Demon Elephants swarmed toward him as well.

Their sharp tusks stabbed at his body from every direction.

He could, of course, choose to use his second soul skill, Mirror Shatter, to suppress them completely. These five Sea Demon Elephants were not particularly powerful Soul Beast races to begin with, possessing only a little over a thousand years of Cultivation. There was no way they could survive his second soul skill.

But doing so would run counter to his original intention.

The reason he had fought all kinds of Soul Beasts over the past half year was entirely to hone his practical combat experience. Yet in truth, he had another purpose: to push himself to the brink of death and thereby touch upon the opportunity for the Second Awakening of the Body Martial Soul.

His thoughts raced. Having made his decision, Xu Zihuang took a deep breath and plunged headfirst toward the seabed.

The average depth of this Inner Sea was around a hundred meters. With only a hundred meters of water pressure, Xu Zihuang's physical constitution could withstand it with ease.

At a depth of one hundred meters, visibility was only one percent of normal. But with the powerful vision granted by the Golden Eye, the impact was almost negligible.

Waves of chill swept in from behind. Xu Zihuang abruptly looked up.

The five Thousand-Year Sea Demon Elephants chasing after him were spitting Ice Bullets from their mouths.

These Ice Bullets were entirely icy blue. As they streaked through the seawater, intense Soul Power fluctuations emerged from them. The seawater along their trajectories began freezing at a visible rate, forming trails of ice in all kinds of shapes.

These were Ice Burst Bullets, one of the Sea Demon Elephants' most proficient soul skills and also their Innate Soul Skill.

Although their name resembled the Ice Burst Technique of the Ice Scorpion clan from the Far North, their power was worlds apart.

At least a hundred densely packed Ice Bullets sealed off Xu Zihuang's path.

Xu Zihuang stared at the dense barrage of Ice Bullets rushing toward him, and the golden patterns around his pupils became even more dazzling.

A bizarre scene unfolded.

Xu Zihuang seemed able to see the future. With only the slightest movements, he effortlessly dodged every Ice Bullet.

Human hitbox outlining!

Just as I thought. Xu Zihuang's mind stirred as he used his left hand to brush aside several strands of purple hair drifting through the seawater and obstructing his vision.

Naturally, he could not foresee the future. He was simply able to predict the trajectories of these Ice Bullets.

During the past three years of cultivation, he had inadvertently discovered the Martial Soul Instinct possessed by his Body Martial Soul with Spiritual Attribute, the Golden Eye.

Generally, only exceptionally powerful Martial Souls could possess a Martial Soul Instinct. For example, Wang Dong's Light Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul in the original work innately possessed the ability to fly. That was the hallmark of a top-tier Martial Soul.

The Martial Soul Instinct of Xu Zihuang's Golden Eye gave him Dynamic Vision that surpassed ordinary people.

In other words, he could slow every image he saw by dozens of times according to his will. Predicting the trajectories of over a hundred Ice Bullets was naturally no challenge.

A flash of dark red light passed by as Xu Zihuang slowly raised both arms. Dark Red Crystal spread from his palms toward his wrists, eventually enveloping both arms completely.

Dark red crystalline scales condensed into shape. His arms became enormously thick, and his hands transformed into dragon claws, likewise covered in dark red crystal scales.

He had not switched Martial Souls, and his Second Martial Soul, the Purple Sun Thunder Prison Dragon, had not even obtained a Soul Ring. It was even less possible for him to achieve an ability resembling the Dragon Transformation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

He was merely using Spiritual Power to finely control the Golden Eye Martial Soul's second soul skill, condensing a pair of dragon arms like these.

With his own immense strength and the hardness of this Dark Red Crystal, which far surpassed Cold Iron, he, an Control System Soul Master, now absolutely had the means to fight an Attack-Type Battle Soul Master of the same level head-on.

"I hope I'll get what I want this time." Xu Zihuang's gaze turned cold. Rather than retreating, he advanced, holding his dark red dragon claws before him as he charged straight toward the five Sea Demon Elephants.

Xu Zihuang already swam quickly through the seawater, but the five Sea Demon Elephants, which lived in the ocean by nature, were even faster.

Yet no matter how fast those five Sea Demon Elephants were, they moved as slowly as snails in his eyes.

His left dragon claw precisely gripped the tusk of one Sea Demon Elephant, while his right claw brutally pierced straight through its eyeball.

Crimson blood spread in every direction. The Sea Demon Elephant roared and struggled desperately, instantly staining the seawater a deep red.

Then, the instant Xu Zihuang's right claw pierced completely into its brain through the eye socket, its struggles came to an abrupt stop. Specks of purple light gathered around the Sea Demon Elephant's massive corpse and drifted toward the surface.

The remaining four Sea Demon Elephants arrived a moment later. Stimulated by their companion's blood, they instantly became even more frenzied.

Unless they were cunning Soul Beasts like apes or wolves, most Soul Beasts with a thousand years of Cultivation did not possess much intelligence. They acted more on instinct than anything else.

These four Sea Demon Elephants were clearly among the less intelligent sort.

But that was precisely what he wanted to see.

Xu Zihuang darted rapidly across the seabed, fending off the attacks of the four Thousand-Year Sea Demon Elephants.

Before he knew it, half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

The rapid depletion of Soul Power and stamina, coupled with prolonged oxygen deprivation, had turned his face bright red.

Yet he still had not felt that sense of danger that came with nearing death.

Of the four Thousand-Year Sea Demon Elephants pursuing him, only one remained.

"They're still too weak." Xu Zihuang sighed regretfully and came to a stop. The dragon claws formed from Dark Red Crystal around his arms shattered with a crash.

He gazed from afar at the final Thousand-Year Sea Demon Elephant, whose body was covered in wounds. Dark red ripples quietly enveloped it.

Condense, shatter.

With that, all five Thousand-Year Sea Demon Elephants had perished at Xu Zihuang's hands.

Splash—

Water surged as Xu Zihuang emerged once more at the surface. Using the rock wall for leverage, he landed steadily on the Port Plaza by the bay.

"Young Master, how did it feel?" Lin Long, who had long been waiting there, hurried forward with the others.

Xu Zihuang steadied his breathing, then shook his head helplessly.

"They were still too weak. If I could catch a Demon Soul Great White Shark with a thousand years of Cultivation, perhaps it could give me some pressure."

Xu Zihuang's words sounded arrogant, but no one from the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Corps present found them inappropriate.

Their Young Master truly had the qualifications to say such things.

As Xu Zihuang used Soul Power to dry his clothes and hair, he casually asked, "Has Elder Wang come out of seclusion yet?"

"Not yet."

"Is that so?" Xu Zihuang nodded slightly, tied up his dried black medium-length hair, and rose to walk toward the castle.

"Elder Lin, if Elder Wang comes out of seclusion, notify me immediately. I'll go to the basement and make Soul Tools first."

His Imperial Brother, He Caitou, who was at Shrek Academy, was three years older than him. By that logic, he and Huo Yuhao were the same age.

Shrek Academy would be admitting new students in half a year.

If he wanted to enter Shrek Academy to study, he needed to start preparing in advance now.

Send in some recommendation votes, make some investments, and feel free to share your opinions. Let's go! We'll be heading to Shrek soon. Don't worry, I won't suck up to Huo Yuhao. In this book, Huo Yuhao isn't even worthy of carrying the protagonist's shoes.
