Slay Ferocious Beast

Xu Xiaoyu froze, tilting his head slightly to see a man and a woman passing by, both radiating abundant spiritual power.

But before he could reply, as if hearing Spiky Hair's words, the advancing young man paused briefly.

The youth casually glanced toward them, raised a hand, and then came a terrifying thunderous roar.

A cracking sound rang out. Before the two could even process what had happened, bathed in a blaze of golden light, they vanished on the spot.

Inside the Cultivation Chamber, the two sat up, gasping heavily, their eyes filled with terror.

"Damn, that kid's at most nine years old, how is he this strong? He just casually one-shot us both. Isn't it supposed to be limited to Three Rings max entering here?"

"We're both Three Rings too, and he just wiped us out in one go. Brother Xu! Are our soul rings fake?!"

Spiky Hair's face was full of disbelief. There had been such a large distance between them.

Not only had the other party heard their conversation, but he'd killed them both with a single, effortless move.

That was hard for him to accept. Beside him, Xu Xiaoyu was also panting heavily.

After all, the Riot Rising Spirit Platform couldn't completely erase pain; it retained at least 20% of the sensation.

Being killed outright under those conditions produced a pain that was unimaginable.

Inside the Rising Spirit Platform, Chen Ye glanced at the two corpses, his face expressionless. He had only acted because he'd heard Spiky Hair's words.

"They wanted to make a move on me? I thought they'd have some skill, but they couldn't even take a hit." Chen Ye curled his lip, glancing at his left hand.

Without pausing, he continued deeper into the platform.

Behind him, Gu Yue looked at the two bodies, her face complicated.

Normal people had cooldowns between releasing soul skills, but Chen Ye didn't.

Not only were his three soul skills each more terrifying than the last, but the most absurd part was that there was no interval between them.

Two seconds after he'd just unleashed his First Soul Skill, he used the same skill to kill two Three-Ring soul masters.

Thinking about this, Gu Yue sighed.

"He really might be the true Golden Dragon King, but I can only plunder bloodline, not a martial soul."

"There isn't a single trace of Golden Dragon King Bloodline on him."

Gu Yue's expression darkened slightly, but after a moment of silence, she said nothing more.

Outside the Rising Spirit Platform, Leng Yaozhu ran a hand through her slightly messy long hair, her eyes fixed on the screen showing her two cheap disciples.

"What are those two up to? Why are they heading deeper? Damn, they're not planning to break through the Beginner Rising Spirit Platform and go to the Intermediate one, are they?"

Leng Yaozhu's eyes held a mix of curiosity and surprise.

In the ordinary Rising Spirit Platform, this wasn't unheard of—it wasn't exactly a secret.

Killing the Guardian of the Beginner Rising Spirit Platform gave a small chance of obtaining a century-old Dark Gold Fear Claw Bear Soul Bone.

But for a Three-Ring soul master to kill a Dark Gold Fear Claw Bear comparable to a Five-Ring one was extremely difficult.

Even though it was only a century-old soul beast, its true strength surpassed that of a normal Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Inside the Rising Spirit Platform, watching Chen Ye push deeper, Gu Yue had already guessed his intent.

But she didn't stop him. She also wanted to see just how strong the Golden Dragon King Martial Soul really was.

When they had sparred earlier, it was only a friendly match, so Chen Ye had held back. She had never seen him at full power.

The two ran quickly deeper, but ahead of them, the bushes burst open.

A sweet-faced girl sprinted toward them at full speed.

She wore a pink tracksuit, her long blue hair tied into a ponytail. At first glance, she was undeniably a rare beauty.

But now, her clothes were torn, and her body bore several wounds. One gash on her thigh had nearly pierced straight through.

Seeing the girl running toward them, Chen Ye paused and raised his hand slightly.

The moment she closed in, golden power spread, and her figure vanished instantly.

Watching Chen Ye act so decisively, even Gu Yue behind him was startled.

Before she could say anything, the grass was violently shoved aside, trees toppled, and a massive dark shadow suddenly landed in their sight.

What they sensed first wasn't the enormous form, but the stench hitting their noses.

It was a bear the size of a small hill, its entire body covered in dark golden fur.

The claws on its forelimbs scraped lightly at the ground, a dark golden gleam flickering on them.

"Lucky break. We actually ran into a Dark Gold Fear Claw Bear." Chen Ye smiled without even looking at Gu Yue.

He stepped forward, and at the same time, his second soul ring lit up.

Seeing the Fighting Spirit in Chen Ye's eyes, Gu Yue took a step back. Frost gathered around her, and several Ice Cones formed, but she didn't attack.

Chen Ye took another step. Golden light flowed over his body as dense scales covered him entirely.

On the left half of his body, the scales were nearly twice as thick.

Wrapped in that massive scale armor, Chen Ye charged forward without hesitation and threw a fierce punch.

Seeing the opponent dare to strike first, the Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear let out a roar as well, its massive front claws swinging out violently, darkgolden light flickering.

Both clearly had absolute confidence in their own defenses.

One struck directly at the opponent's neck, while the other bypassed the fist entirely to slam into the young man's body.

A sound of grinding metal rang out as the Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear's forelimb struck Chen Ye, leaving a trail of white marks on his Golden Dragon King scales.

But Chen Ye's fist landed on the opponent's neck, sending it flying backward.

Feeling its neck torn open in an instant, the Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear let out a bloodcurdling roar.

Yet Chen Ye didn't hesitate for a moment, stepping forward again, his entire being like a human-shaped Ferocious Beast.

He threw the same punch once more, only this time his first soul ring lit up.

Golden Dragon Blast was released instantly, combined with the second soul skill Dragon King Body. Under the enhancement of the second soul skill, the effect of the first soul skill doubled directly.

The terrifying Golden Dragon Blast erupted, and the Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear had no time to react before its entire body was blasted apart.

Its remains turned into a vast amount of spiritual energy, surging wildly into Chen Ye's body.

All that remained on the ground was a single crystalline bone.

Looking toward where the Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear had shattered, Chen Ye shook his head.

"A hundred-year-old can match a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? Are Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts this weak?"

Chen Ye lowered his head to look at his own body, a trace of confusion on his face.

Meanwhile, Gu Yue, watching from the side, had her eyes flicker. Her gaze carried a hint of shock, but more than that, a sense of resignation.

"His martial soul really is the Golden Dragon King... How did he manage to make this nonexistent martial soul reappear in the world?"

Gu Yue's eyes held a contemplative look, which led her to recall another bloodline she had sensed.

"There's definitely something wrong here. I need to investigate properly. Even if Chen Ye is the Child of Destiny, he shouldn't possess the Golden Dragon King martial soul."

Gu Yue's eyes flickered again, but before she could ponder further, Chen Ye's voice reached her.

"Come on, Senior Sister, let's spar. Let me see if you've improved."
