The Double Pupil Shows Its Might! Instantly Kills a Seven-Hundred-Year Spirit Beast!

Therefore, Liu Yuan quickly adjusted his mood.

He began considering his next spirit ring choice.

During his six years at Shrek Academy, although he had been blind, that had not stopped his thirst for knowledge.

On the contrary, having lost his sight made him focus even more on hearing and thinking.

He had specifically spent money on a Soul Tool Player. It had been his only window into this world.

Through that device, he listened to every audiobook available from the library on spirit beasts, Martial Soul theory, and tactical combinations.

As a result, Liu Yuan now possessed a wealth of theoretical knowledge in every area.

He continued to ponder.

"In the original story, Huo Yuhao followed the path of a control-type battle soul master."

"Spirit Detection Sharing really is a divine skill, and Soul Shock is pretty good too, but he leaned far too heavily toward support and control."

"That is simply an enormous waste of a spiritual-attribute Martial Soul!"

In Liu Yuan's view, spiritual power was not merely for detection and interference. It was also an invisible, intangible, and impossible-to-guard-against weapon of terrifying lethality!

Although Douluo Continent's soul master system had developed for tens of thousands of years, mental defense had always remained a massive weakness.

Most soul masters desperately trained their bodies, increased their Soul Power, and enhanced the destructive and defensive power of their soul skills.

Yet few people specifically sought to improve their "resistance" to spiritual power.

That was because there were simply too few spiritual-type soul masters.

And under such circumstances...

Even a Title Douluo would often suffer badly from a sudden mental attack without a specialized mental-defense Soul Tool or a spiritual-attribute head Spirit Bone.

"Since I have these Double Pupils, and since I possess spiritual talent far beyond ordinary people, why should I become a support?"

"The path I will take is one of pure spiritual offense!"

"Spiritual power is the sharpest sword!"

Liu Yuan's thinking was exceptionally clear.

Since he did not have the four soul skills granted by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, he would find his own.

"My First Soul Skill must be a powerful single-target mental attack. Ideally, it should be something as simple and brutal as Soul Shock, capable of directly destroying an enemy's Spirit Sea of Consciousness."

Liu Yuan closed his eyes, and every spirit beast guidebook he had studied swiftly flashed through his mind.

"There are quite a few spirit beasts that can provide mental attack-type soul skills..."

"Spirit Demon Spider? No, its venom is too potent. It could easily cause the soul skill to mutate into a poison attribute."

"Purple Demon Eye Beast? Too rare, and it can easily cause backlash."

"Then the remaining choices are... Soul Spider, Three-Eyed Demon Wolf, or Cyclops."

All three were relatively typical spiritual-attribute spirit beasts. Though they were not as heaven-defying as Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, they were still extremely troublesome among low- and mid-level spirit beasts.

The Three-Eyed Demon Wolf in particular was naturally cunning. The third eye on its brow could unleash an innate skill called Spirit Pierce, which perfectly matched what Liu Yuan wanted.

"As for the age... I currently have twenty levels of Soul Power, and after this month of training, my body has grown much sturdier."

"So absorbing a spirit ring of seven or eight hundred years should be no problem."

Liu Yuan quickly set his target.

"Let's go!"

With a clear target, Liu Yuan's efficiency rose dramatically.

Over the next week, he no longer wandered around aimlessly as before. Instead, he specifically searched for unusual regions suitable for his target spirit beast's habitat.

His Double Pupils opened, and Insight was activated to the fullest.

Not the slightest rustle of wind, nor any traces of spirit beast droppings or footprints, could escape his eyes.

Finally, on the thirty-seventh day after entering the Star Dou Great Forest.

At the entrance of a valley strewn with jagged rocks.

"Found it..."

Liu Yuan lay behind an enormous boulder, exposing only half his head as his Double Pupils fixed intently on a cave roughly fifty meters below.

Quite a few bones lay scattered around the cave. Some belonged to wild beasts, and some... to humans.

A nauseating stench drifted up with the wind.

At the cave entrance, a massive wolf nearly two meters long lay lazily in the sun. Its body was covered in bluish-gray fur, yet it possessed three dark yellow eyes.

Its muscles were sleek and filled with explosive power. The vertical eye on its brow in particular occasionally flickered with an eerie glimmer that sent chills down one's spine.

A Three-Eyed Demon Wolf!

Judging by its size and the shade of its fur, this Three-Eyed Demon Wolf's cultivation was likely between six hundred and fifty and seven hundred years.

A perfect target!

As though it sensed someone watching it, the formerly lazy Three-Eyed Demon Wolf suddenly raised its head. All three eyes locked onto Liu Yuan's hiding place at once.

"Roar!"

With a low growl, the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf did not pounce to tear at him like an ordinary beast. Instead, it remained where it was as the third vertical eye on its brow abruptly lit up with blinding yellow light!

Bzzz!

An unusual ripple spread through the air.

An invisible wave of mental force, like an unseen spear, instantly crossed fifty meters and stabbed straight toward Liu Yuan's brow!

Spirit Pierce!

This was the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf's survival trump card.

Against opponents with weaker spiritual power than its own, this strike was enough to turn them into idiots in an instant—or even cause immediate brain death.

Yet faced with this sudden mental attack, Liu Yuan did not dodge. Instead, he rose from behind the boulder, a cold smile curling across his lips.

"Playing with spiritual power against me? You're showing off before an expert!"

His eyes widened sharply. The two pupils within his Double Pupils overlapped, and a tyrannical aura that seemed to originate from ancient primordial times erupted in an instant!

Boom!

The Three-Eyed Demon Wolf's previously unstoppable mental attack shattered the moment it struck Liu Yuan's Spirit Sea of Consciousness, like an egg smashing against a rock!

Not only that, Liu Yuan's spiritual power followed the connection and struck back directly!

"Awooo—!!"

The Three-Eyed Demon Wolf let out an incomparably miserable shriek. Its massive body violently trembled, its once-ferocious gaze instantly becoming unfocused as foam even seeped from the corner of its mouth.

Spirit Backlash!

That was the brutality of a clash between spiritual types.

The victor took all, while the loser instantly lost the ability to fight.

"Now!"

Seizing the perfect opportunity while the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf was briefly dazed, Liu Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest and directly unleashed his strongest method!

"Double Pupil—Distortion!"

Liu Yuan stared fixedly at the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf's vulnerable waist. The greater half of his remaining Soul Power, along with his spiritual power, poured into his eyes without reservation!

This time, he was going all out!

Bzzz—!!!

A powerful invisible ripple instantly descended upon the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf.

The Three-Eyed Demon Wolf, still struggling in pain from the Spirit Backlash, suddenly felt as though two invisible giant hands had seized its waist from opposite sides, and then...

Twisted violently!

Crack! Crack! Splurt!

The horrifying sounds of shattering bones and tearing flesh rang out together.

The Three-Eyed Demon Wolf's incomparably tough waist underwent a horrifying ninety-degree twist in an instant!

Immediately afterward—

"Bang!"

It was like an overinflated balloon suddenly exploding.

The Three-Eyed Demon Wolf's waist directly burst apart! Flesh, shattered bones, and internal organs mixed with blood, scattering in every direction like fireworks!

This ferocious beast that had dominated the area for hundreds of years did not even have time to let out one final wail before Liu Yuan's gaze blasted its body apart alive!

Thud.

Liu Yuan landed, staggered, and nearly fell.

A powerful wave of dizziness struck him, darkening his vision as his face turned pale as paper.

That full-power Distortion had nearly drained more than half his spiritual power.

But he still forced himself to steady his body and looked at the ruined corpse before him, now broken into two pieces.

A deep yellow spirit ring slowly rose from above the mangled corpse, radiating an enticing glow.

"Ha... hahaha..."

Liu Yuan panted heavily, but an ecstatic smile appeared on his face.

The consumption had been somewhat high, but that power... was utterly intoxicating!

One glance killed a seven-hundred-year spirit beast!

That was the power of the Double Pupil!

"Although I do not have Sky Dream Ice Silkworm... this Three-Eyed Demon Wolf is still an excellent match for me."

Liu Yuan sat cross-legged, his eyes full of anticipation as he watched the yellow spirit ring slowly drift toward him.

"Come, my first spirit ring."

"Let me see what kind of surprise you will bring me!"
