Meteor Fist

Golden light enveloped Ye Lan's entire body as his soul power attachment reached one hundred percent!

There was no one near the Star Luo Great Forest, so Ye Lan could freely let loose and test the limits of his soul power attachment.

Although Ye Lan's martial soul was merely Blue Silver Grass, it was Blue Silver Grass possessing Ultimate Life, greatly enhancing his physical attributes.

Combined with the perfect Limit Soul Power Attachment Method, Ye Lan's basic strength rivaled Battle Soul Masters of the same rank, his speed rivaled Agile Attack Soul Masters of the same rank, and his defense was comparable to that of a Soul Elder.

However, this basic strength was still somewhat inferior to that of the Thousand-Year Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear. After all, a Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear was not a Soft Bone Rabbit. Soft Bone Rabbits only knew how to run, while Bloodthirsty Demonic Bears were soul beasts with immense combat power.

A Thousand-Year Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear possessed combat power comparable to that of a top-tier Battle Soul Elder.

As Ye Lan sprinted toward the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear, he used his External Brain to analyze the gap in their strengths.

Within a few blinks, the two sides, already close together, collided in an instant.

The Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear opened its Blood Basin Mouth, attempting to swallow Ye Lan's head in a single bite.

Facing that terrifying Blood Basin Mouth, Ye Lan held his breath, bent low to evade the jaws, channeled soul power into his right arm, and threw a right hook!

The right hook slammed heavily into the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear's jaw. From the feedback against his fist, Ye Lan felt as though he had struck a flesh pad capable of absorbing force.

The Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear's head merely tilted up slightly. Then, borrowing the force of Ye Lan's hook, it rose with the momentum.

The Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear's right arm rapidly swung toward Ye Lan, splitting the air with a howl.

Through the Golden Eye's vision, the claws on the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear's right paw slowly tore through the air, leaving behind a streak of wind.

Ye Lan calculated the attack arc of the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear's right paw, sidestepping and narrowly avoiding the strike.

At that moment, Ye Lan recalled the meridian pathway diagram in his right arm from when his Blue Silver Grass had previously evolved.

Soul power instantly gathered in Ye Lan's right arm, and he punched the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear in the lower waist!

The Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear's belly wobbled before instantly absorbing the energy impact from Ye Lan's right fist.

Clearly, Ye Lan's Self-Created Soul Skill had failed to activate this time, but he was not discouraged.

Although Ye Lan's punches had little effect on the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear, the more punishment the Bloodthirsty Tyrant could endure, the more suitable the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear was as a training dummy.

After taking Ye Lan's blow, the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear turned and continuously attacked Ye Lan with both paws.

Using the Golden Eye and the speed granted by his soul power attachment, Ye Lan continuously and deftly evaded the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear's attacks.

And during every interval between the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear's attacks, he tried gathering soul power in his arms, continuously developing offensive soul skills.

As time passed, the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear grew increasingly agitated. The pain spreading through its body became more and more intense.

Driven completely mad by the unceasing pain, the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear threw back its head and let out a long roar.

The Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear's eyes turned white, and it completely lost its reason.

The demonic bear's muscles swelled even further. The Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear now resembled a Demon Muscle Bear; not only had its strength increased, but its speed had also risen considerably.

Ye Lan did not care about the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear's increased strength. With the Golden Eye's ability to see through its movements, it was almost impossible for the demonic bear to hit him.

But its further increase in speed was troublesome. Originally, the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear's speed had been on par with Ye Lan's.

After its speed increased, not only did the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear move much faster, but the speed of its bites and paw swipes also kept increasing.

Although Ye Lan could still see through its movements, his body's evasive speed gradually could not keep up with the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear's attacks.

"Now this is getting interesting." Ye Lan stomped hard and used Instant Step, instantly opening several meters of distance from the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear and dodging the demonic bear's cross slash with both claws.

"Let's try this—Instant Step Normalization." Ye Lan reduced the force of Instant Step's instantaneous stomp against the ground in exchange for a greater frequency of use.

As Blue Silver Grass further evolved and his soul power increased, the number of times he could use Instant Step had risen from five to eight.

Although Instant Step Normalization reduced the teleportation distance to half a meter, it tripled the number of uses. He could use it twenty-four times a day.

Ye Lan could still use Instant Step Normalization twenty-one times.

"Second Round, little bear." Ye Lan relaxed.

The Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear seemed to understand him. White vapor sprayed from its nostrils as it swore to kill Ye Lan.

The Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear charged furiously toward Ye Lan, its feet stomping deep craters into the grass as blades of grass continuously flew through the air.

Ye Lan gathered soul power in his eyes. More and more soul power condensed within them, the golden light in his pupils grew brighter and brighter, and the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear's movements slowed even further in Ye Lan's eyes.

This time, the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear seemed to have wised up. It did not use its Blood Basin Mouth or its bear-paw strikes.

Instead, it intended to simply ram Ye Lan away. Watching a mountain of flesh charge toward him, Ye Lan smiled helplessly. This bear...

He pushed hard against the ground beneath his feet and instantly leaped onto the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear's head.

"Echo Shift!"

Bang!!!!

A burst of soul power erupted from the top of the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear's head. Its massive body crashed to the ground, its belly scraping continuously across the grass as it slid more than ten meters.

After landing, Ye Lan quickly closed in on the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear and once again attempted to use his Self-Created Soul Skill against its back.

The flesh on the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear's back repeatedly deformed beneath Ye Lan's strikes. Even if the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear's muscles could absorb energy impacts, there was a limit to how much they could absorb.

Within seconds, Ye Lan threw more than a dozen punches. Every punch was an attempt to use an offensive soul skill.

As Ye Lan's sense of touch returned, the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear angrily opened its gaping maw at him, blasting a stream of white flames from its mouth.

Feeling the wave of heat, Ye Lan muttered, "Didn't we agree on hand-to-hand combat?"

Thirty strands of Blue Silver Grass shot out from Ye Lan's body in an instant, swiftly swallowing up the flames.

The Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear was swallowed up along with the flames. Its mountain-like body was bound by the Blue Silver Grass into a giant rice dumpling of flesh.

Recalling the sensation from before, Ye Lan gathered countless specks of golden Soul Power into his right fist.

"Meteor!"

Ye Lan's right fist was wrapped in golden light. The gold tore through the air, leaving behind a long golden arc.

Like a meteor streaking across the sky, its friction with the air left behind dazzling crimson flames.

Bang!

The Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear vanished from where it stood, the flesh-dumpling body rolling continuously across the grass.

The Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately felt the world spin. Unable to see anything, it was terrified.

After finishing the development of Meteor, Ye Lan withdrew the Blue Silver Grass.

When the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear discovered that the Blue Silver Grass around its body had vanished, the fear in its heart dissipated.

Ignoring the intense pain coursing through its body, the Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear dropped onto all fours, tears of grievance streaming from its eyes. It looked at Ye Lan with a pitiful expression, trying to act cute its way out of this.

The Bloodthirsty Demonic Bear had no idea how it had offended the Golden-Haired Human. It had clearly been working hard to make baby bears, only to be interrupted halfway through. Just as it was about to vent its anger, it had been brutally beaten up instead.
