"Mind Control" Leo?

Since Wu Sheng began cultivating the Soul Art, he had discovered a flaw in the Prison Clan.

Most Prison Clan members had no concept of willpower whatsoever, perhaps because their constant mutual slaughter and blind worship of raw power had led them to neglect inner will and even mindset cultivation—especially among warriors.

Of course, this was also a common ailment shared by all life across the universe.

In fact, this situation caused many powerhouses to have wills that lagged behind their own realms in the early stages.

Without the support of a strong will, and with a mindset that was practically nonexistent, no matter how profound the Soul Defense Art might be, its soul defense capabilities were inevitably fragile.

As for Wu Sheng, he had not only elevated his will to the Cosmic Level but also used his mindset to further reinforce that will, making an already intangible will even stronger.

So in terms of rank and strength, Planet Grade Nine Wu Sheng was at least four times weaker than Star Grade Two Kadi, possibly even more.

But when it came to the soul, with his mindset and will amplifying him, even if Kadi had the advantage of rank and domain enhancement, Wu Sheng was still quite confident.

Moreover, soul attacks were inherently overbearing, far more direct than Soul Illusions, with no time for dragging things out—success was success, failure was failure.

That was why Wu Sheng had been so decisive in killing this man with his Soul Art!

Fortunately, Wu Sheng also had a backup plan. If Kadi's will truly proved strong and his soul attack failed, he would fight while retreating, using a Soul Illusion to test its effect on Kadi.

If that didn't work either, he would have no choice but to flee early!

This 100 billion Cosmic Crystal wasn't worth fighting for!

He couldn't exactly throw his own life into the bargain!

Luckily, Wu Sheng's first step had succeeded.

"Damn, am I under some illusion today too? Everything I'm seeing is unbelievable!"

"You're not the only one—I'm starting to doubt myself! Can an Earth Grade Nine elite really pull this off?"

"I thought he'd have to break through to Sky Grade before he could beat Cang Ge and Kadi, but now he's killing them?"

"Tsk, a genius! Doing what others can't, even what others can't imagine—that's a true genius! Like Li Long, using his physical disadvantages to stand against the naturally gifted Leo—that's the type! Now this guy in green robes might be the second!"

The fighters in the midst of battle were stunned once more. That unknown Green-Robed Dwarf had completely won them over with just two moves.

If they could somewhat accept his first strike, his second—directly killing a Sky Grade Two Special Elite—had completely blown their expectations out of the water!

"Damn it, kid, you actually dare to kill?" Leo froze in disbelief at Kadi's instant death, then went just as berserk as Li Long had.

A Special Elite! With proper nurturing, he was destined to become a Domain Lord, with a high probability of even breaking through to Realm Lord.

And now this green-robed brat had killed him!

This was an eternal wound for any force!

After all, ordinary elites only needed to focus on force and telekinetic amplitude, and they could be built up with resources—those with better talent just saved some resources.

But Special Elites depended purely on talent. Even if the Special Elite wasn't from their own clan, they had to promise generous conditions to bind him tightly to their war chariot.

Yet...

"Kid, you're dead! Li Long might protect you for a while, but he can't protect you forever. In all these years, you're the first to dare kill a Special Elite of Thunder Star Mountain."

Leo roared as he charged madly forward.

But without Kadi's help now, Li Long alone easily held Leo and Cang Ge at bay, keeping them from getting anywhere near Wu Sheng.

"Oh, is that so? Then I really must thank you for the reminder!"

Wu Sheng had already looted Kadi's space ring and spoils, intending to inspect them, but now he wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he fixed his gaze back on the Cyan Giant, Leo.

"Nothing else—even if I can't kill you, I'll punch a few big holes in you first, just to vent!"

With a fierce shout, Wu Sheng sent the Flowing Cloud Needle straight into the fray.

"Haha, Brother Wu Sheng, decisive in killing—I, Li Long, admire that! Rest assured, I'll take full responsibility for Kadi's death. Now, it's time to beat the drowning dog!"

With Kadi dead, Li Long finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw Wu Sheng charging in, he burst into laughter, exuding a bold, confident aura.

Bang!

The Flowing Cloud Needle was easily knocked aside by Leo, as if it could barely affect him.

Seeing this, Wu Sheng sighed inwardly.

Leo's innate secret art "Thunder Domain" inherently carried the special ability to weaken combat power by ninety percent, which alone drastically reduced the Flowing Cloud Needle's attack.

On top of that, Wu Sheng's greatest strength still lay in his Soul Art; his use of Telekinetic Weapons was relatively unskilled.

Moreover, the Flowing Cloud Needle was only Third-Grade Mid-Rank, which also limited the full expression of his perfect telekinetic amplitude.

"Kadi and Leo are fundamentally different. Leo is from the Thunder Wing Giant Clan, with Life Gene and domain advantages that put him far above Kadi. Using the Flowing Cloud Needle, which can't unleash my full power, to attack him is just asking for humiliation!"

Wu Sheng instantly recognized his own shortcomings.

"Heh heh, you little bean, gone limp? Weren't you so tough? Come on! What kind of junk do you think you're hitting me with?"

Seeing Wu Sheng's ranged attack so pathetic, Leo laughed smugly, his wariness unconsciously fading.

Kadi's instant death enraged him greatly, but it also made him highly vigilant against Wu Sheng's attacks.

"Perhaps there's only that way now!" Wu Sheng gritted his teeth silently.

"Wu Sheng, if it doesn't work, let's retreat first. Though we weren't fully prepared today, killing Kadi is already a major victory. Once we go back and recover, we can return in full force!"

Li Long advised him kindly. Having fought three opponents alone for so long, most of his internal energy was already spent, yet Leo's attacks remained bold and unrestrained, showing no sign of fatigue—this was not a good omen.

"Hold off Cang Ge for me first. I'll try a soul combination illusion on Leo!"

Wu Sheng said in a low voice.

"Soul combination illusion? The domain's weakening effect on soul-type secret arts is limited, so it's indeed a good choice. You can use it—just trap him, but don't kill him. After all, he's from the Thunder Wing Giant Clan, not someone of Kadi's standing!"

Li Long reminded him again. Killing a Kadi was something he could still shoulder, since his own younger brother Li Hu had been slain by Thunder Star Mountain's people, giving him a justifiable reason for revenge.

But if he dared to kill a Thunder Wing Giant, especially under the watch of so many onlookers, even Li Long wouldn't dare do that!

After all, the Thunder Wing Giant Clan had few members. If one died here, they would go berserk without needing any reason!

"Don't worry, I know my limits."

Wu Sheng replied, then immediately mobilized the Primal Force and mental power within his Inner World.

Mind Confusion, Chaos Divine Melody!

Innate secret art... "Soul Control"!

Activated simultaneously!

Two beams of Blood Red Light shot from Wu Sheng's eyes, finally passing through Leo's eyes and rushing into the Life Core within his body.

It turned out Wu Sheng's plan wasn't just to use a soul combination illusion, but to employ his "Soul Control" imprint to claim this Thunder Wing Giant with limitless potential for himself.
