"Damn it, my stats aren't high enough."
Seeing this, Chen Ming cursed inwardly.
Though he was also a stat monster, Yu Tianheng had a higher rank and a better Martial Soul. Among Soul Masters of the same rank, he was also a stat monster. While his physical qualities were slightly inferior to Chen Ming's, his Soul Power was slightly stronger.
After using his Third Soul Skill to increase his lightning attribute by one hundred percent and his Soul Power by fifty percent, the gap in their stats widened even further. Even the lightning Yu Tianheng released with a casual gesture could still break through Chen Ming's defenses. Chen Ming's poison also could not rapidly erode him in this state.
Chen Ming also possessed the Soul Skill Poison Emperor Possession. Once used, it could completely overwhelm Yu Tianheng.
The key issue was that Soul Bones were far too precious. Even though an External Soul Bone could not be absorbed, Chen Ming could not guarantee that no one would develop ill intentions toward him because of it.
