Kill the Evil Eye Tyrant, Summon Moon Essence, A Risky Gambit

The Martial Soul Hall Golden Generation assessment resulted in over seventy percent of the students being eliminated, leaving the remaining candidates on the verge of mental and physical collapse.

If they could not adjust their conditions in time, the only thing awaiting them would be ruthless elimination.

"Senior Sister, what kind of ten-thousand-year soul beast do you think Martial Soul Hall would place in this Traceless Valley?"

Ye Xuan was currently contemplating a strategy, but since this was the final assessment provided by Martial Soul Hall, the ten-thousand-year soul beast imprisoned within the valley could certainly not be an ordinary creature.

"I am not entirely sure, but soul beasts that reach the ten-thousand-year level develop a certain degree of intelligence. Given the academy's style, they would never just grab any random ten-thousand-year soul beast for our assessment."

Hu Liena had heard that twelve years ago, during that year's Golden Generation assessment, the creature captured and thrown into the valley was a Bloodthirsty Violent Bear with a cultivation age approaching fifteen thousand years.

It had nearly wiped out the elite disciples of Martial Soul Hall at the time; had the elders not intervened in time, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

The journey was silent.

Although the path taken by Ye Xuan and his three companions had not been particularly smooth.

Under the foresight of Spirit Detection, they had still managed to eliminate the elite disciples hiding in the shadows one by one.

At dusk.

They were only about two kilometers away from the central valley.

Hungry after a full day, they relied on soul beast meat to settle their dinner.

Traceless Valley.

Rather than calling it a valley, it would be more accurate to say that someone had used supreme power to forcibly split the mountain in half from the waist down.

The cliffs were steep and the rocks jagged; Ye Xuan led the three of them down along the valley.

"Nana, do you know the origin of the Traceless Mountain Range?"

Yan looked at the smooth cliffs on both sides, his eyes filled with worship and excitement.

Hearing his words, not only Hu Liena, but even Ye Xuan and Xie Yue were intrigued.

"Tell us about it?"

Yan cleared his throat and began.

"Actually, more than twenty years ago, this place was known as the Soul-Severing Mountain Range, and it was one of the few small soul beast gathering spots within a hundred-mile radius of Martial Soul City."

"Back then, Sword Douluo's father, Chen Jianjun, challenged the Grand Pontiff with his peak level ninety-eight cultivation, and the location of their battle was precisely here."

Hearing Yan's explanation, Ye Xuan raised his eyes to look at the smooth cliffs surrounding them and the canyon extending downward before him, a truly absurd thought forming in his mind.

"Yan, you aren't trying to say that this mountain was split open by a single sword strike from either the Grand Pontiff or Sword Douluo's father, Chen Jianjun, are you?"

"That's right, except the Grand Pontiff and Chen Jianjun were fighting in the sky at the time, and this Traceless Valley was carved out by the aftermath of Chen Jianjun's ninth soul skill."

Upon learning the history of this place, everyone present could not help but gasp.

"My grandfather once said that during that great battle, the Grand Pontiff did not hold back out of respect for Chen Jianjun. The final result was that Chen Jianjun broke through the Grand Pontiff's Angelic True Body, but he himself was severely wounded and fell into a near-death state."

"And this Traceless Mountain Range was the name Chen Jianjun gave it before he died. I heard it means that the past leaves no trace and the present leaves no mark; even until his death, Chen Jianjun never held a grudge against the Grand Pontiff. Afterward, this place has always been called the Traceless Mountain Range."

As Yan finished the story, they had already reached the lowest level of the valley.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt quite emotional inside.

"I never expected such pure martial arts fanatics to exist in your human world. If Brother had his strength, I would have already been living a life with a wife, children, and a warm bed."

Hearing his words, everyone present, including Xiao Wu, rolled their eyes at him.

They thought to themselves that this big white silkworm was truly as much of a mood-killer as ever...

At the same time, Falling Devil Douluo, who was secretly protecting Ye Xuan, followed them from a distance.

In his view, with the strength of the four of them, becoming the Golden Generation of Martial Soul Hall was a certainty.

There was no need at all to provoke the ten-thousand-year soul beast bound within the valley.

However, before Ye Xuan and the others had even reached the edge of the valley, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm keenly sensed a dangerous aura.

"Ye Xuan, be careful! This is a ten-thousand-year level pure spirit-type soul beast, an Evil Eye Tyrant!"

Hearing the shout from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Everyone present was jolted into alertness.

A ten-thousand-year level Evil Eye Tyrant!

"Everyone, pay attention! The Evil Eye Tyrant's mental power is extremely formidable, but its main body is just a single eyeball, and its defensive power is not very strong. We need to end this quickly!"

As he spoke, Ye Xuan and Tian Meng used their Spirit Simulation ability at almost the same time.

"Spirit Simulation!"

A ten-thousand-year level Evil Eye Tyrant might be very troublesome for others, but for Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, whose mental power far exceeded its own, it was like a father disciplining his son.

In an instant, with the help of Ye Xuan and Tian Meng, they were all disguised as inconspicuous little pebbles.

The setting sun gradually sank, and the moonlight slowly rose.

Wisps of moonlight were now continuously pouring into Xiao Wu's body.

Her originally slightly reddish eyes gradually turned silver under the baptism of the moonlight.

Ye Xuan could also feel at this moment that his first soul skill had undergone a transformation under the enhancement of the moonlight.

"Ye Xuan, the potential of the Evil Eye Tyrant species is far above that of our Ice Silkworm Clan. My current strength is still too weak; our spiritual simulation is completely useless within fifty meters of an Evil Eye Tyrant."

Hearing the warning from the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Ye Xuan frantically pondered tactics in his mind.

Very quickly, he had already made a decision.

"Yan, no matter what you see or what happens later, you only need to remember to unleash all of your soul power toward the Evil Eye Tyrant at any cost."

"Senior Sister, Xie Yue, Xiao Wu, Tian Meng, later you all..."

From learning the current situation to laying out the entire plan, the time taken did not exceed thirty seconds.

However, Yan, the main force tasked with drawing fire, felt a bit of trepidation in his heart at this moment.

"Ye Xuan, I know my attitude toward you was bad before, but you can't really make me a living target..."

The look Yan cast toward Ye Xuan carried a hint of bitterness and ingratiation.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Ye Xuan or was judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's measure; it was mainly because they were facing a ten-thousand-year-level Evil Eye Tyrant, and he was truly feeling guilty.

"Hehe, Brother Yan, just rest assured. As long as we succeed, you will be the greatest contributor to slaying this ten-thousand-year soul beast."

"Moreover, my plan requires someone with the greatest destructive power to completely stir up the battlefield so that we can have a chance at a one-hit kill."

Hearing Ye Xuan say that he would be the greatest contributor to this battle, Yan's heart finally felt a little more balanced.
