Just as Tian Ling'er was about to say something else, a pale purple Spirit Ring appeared around the Hell Spirit Cat. Everyone watched in amazement.

"How incredible."

Tian Ling'er voiced what everyone was thinking.

At that moment, the Little Turtle in Huang Rong's arms began struggling violently.

As though she knew what the Little Turtle wanted to do, Huang Rong gently placed it on the ground.

The Little Turtle quickly ran over to the Hell Spirit Cat's corpse. It first raised its head and devoured the purple Spirit Ring, then bit into the ice, swallowing both the Hell Spirit Cat's body and the ice created by Lu Xueqi.

Other than Chen Yu and Huang Rong, no one else had ever seen anything like this. They all stared at the Little Turtle in disbelief.

Zhang Sanfeng stroked his beard and said, "Little Friend Chen's second Martial Soul is indeed formidable. No wonder this old Daoist felt such a sense of dread back then."

Shuiyue frowned at the Little Turtle. This ability was far too powerful. If this Little Turtle grew strong enough, could it devour the world?

Ye Fan's focus was indeed different from everyone else's. "Brother Chen, where did the energy Little Black devoured go? I don't think Little Black has changed at all."

Worthy of being Heavenly Emperor Ye. He had hit the nail on the head.

Chen Yu did not hide anything and openly explained his cultivation method.

As long as the Little Turtle devoured enough, his realm would rise rapidly. He could not use lucky encounters as an excuse every time.

After hearing Chen Yu's words, everyone stood dumbfounded. Compared to him, all their efforts... amounted to nothing.

Xiao Yan was the most upset of them all. They were both transmigrators, so why was Chen Yu so outstanding?

Seeing how badly everyone had been shaken, Chen Yu did not say anything more. If he pushed them too hard, they might gang up on him.

Just when everyone thought it was over, a howling wind came from above.

Everyone looked up into the sky and saw a Roc with a body four meters long and a wingspan of ten meters flying overhead, its gaze fixed firmly on the people below.

Suddenly, countless arrows condensed from lightning appeared around the Roc and shot rapidly toward Chen Yu and the others.

There was no cover nearby, and the rift behind them was not suitable for retreating into.

Just as Shuiyue was about to act, the Little Turtle raised its head and let out a roar. A vortex appeared above it, and the incoming arrows stopped falling one after another before slowly vanishing into the vortex.

Seeing its attack neutralized, the Roc directly beat its wings and dove down, its sharp claws gleaming with cold light.

Watching the Roc dive toward them, Chen Yu's eyes shifted as he said to Shuiyue and Su Ru, "Seniors, could you help me restrain the Roc?"

Shuiyue and Su Ru exchanged a glance, then nodded.

Su Ru looked at Tian Ling'er. "Ling'er, let Mother borrow your Amber Silk Ribbon."

After taking the Amber Silk Ribbon, Su Ru controlled it to bind the Roc's claws, wings, and beak.

Boom!

The Roc landed before them. Chen Yu summoned his bow and arrow and ran over to its side.

Just as Chen Yu was about to make his move, he seemed to think of something and turned to Tian Ling'er. "Miss Ling'er, will your Amber Silk Ribbon get blood on it?"

Tian Ling'er was baffled by the question. Blood? Why would it get blood on it?

Su Ru, however, said, "Little Friend, do as you please. The Amber Silk Ribbon does not stain with blood."

Since that was the case, he would not hold back.

He nocked an arrow and drew the bow.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Chen Yu fired arrow after arrow without using any Soul Skills. Before long, the Roc was covered in arrows, and he finally killed it with an arrow through the throat. A pale purple Spirit Ring appeared above the Roc.

Seeing the strange looks in everyone's eyes, Chen Yu felt uncomfortable all over.

"Don't look at me like that. I just wanted to conduct an experiment."

Chen Yu explained why he had brutally killed the Roc.

With a thought, he recalled the Little Turtle into his Sea of Consciousness.

He did not recognize this Soul Beast, but its lightning power was quite good and worth absorbing. Besides, Roc-type and eagle-type Soul Beasts should both have ways of tracking prey. Perhaps he could gain a decent Soul Skill.

With Shuiyue and Su Ru present, he did not need to worry about safety. He directly sat cross-legged and began absorbing the Spirit Ring.

The pale purple Spirit Ring was probably only around two thousand years old, perhaps even a Soul Beast that had only just advanced to the thousand-year level.

Having done this once before, Chen Yu calmly began absorbing his second Spirit Ring.

Unexpectedly, absorbing this Spirit Ring went exceptionally smoothly. Perhaps his body had grown stronger, or perhaps the Spirit Ring was not yet two thousand years old. In any case, he succeeded.

A thousand-year second ring!

Though it could not compare with most of the transmigrator seniors, this was the result of his own efforts. Most of them relied on cheats, while his Chat Group was useless. It would not even bring in powerful figures like Nuwa or Houtu. Just a little something leaking from between their fingernails would be enough to send him soaring.

Then there was the book in his Sea of Consciousness. It was far too aloof. Who knew when it would open?

The energy in his body began to soften. Just as Chen Yu thought it was about to end, an unusual sensation came from his back, as if something were about to emerge.

The moment the feeling arose, Chen Yu knew what it was. Why had he brutally killed the Roc? Was it not because he had thought of a rumor that if a Soul Beast died filled with extreme resentment, the chance of producing a Soul Bone would greatly increase?

Now he had succeeded. Not only had he obtained a Soul Bone, it was an External Soul Bone, second only to a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone among Soul Bones.

With a ripping sound, the clothes on Chen Yu's back tore apart, and a pair of wings appeared behind him.

Chen Yu stood up and lightly flapped his wings. With a whoosh, he shot forward.

Boom!

He crashed headfirst into the cliff face opposite him. Fortunately, his body was quite tough now. Otherwise, that alone would have left him bedridden for days.

Ye Fan and the others watched Chen Yu's ridiculous stunt and shook their heads with bitter smiles.

When Chen Yu returned to them, Xiao Yan immediately ran over and wanted to touch his wings, but Chen Yu directly refused him. "Get lost. It creeps me out."

"These are External Soul Bones. They're practically part of my body, so how could I let you touch them?"

Though they had not completely fused with him yet.

Xiao Yan helplessly withdrew his hand. "Fine, I won't touch them. I can at least look, right?"

"This purple color, these mysterious patterns, this flickering lightning... I want a pair too."

Xiao Yan stared at Chen Yu's wings with shining eyes. Once one's cultivation was high enough, anyone could fly, but being cool was a lifelong matter. With these wings, would he not look even more impressive when showing off in the future?

"Still, I have to say, the Soul Beasts in your world are really pathetic. The more brutally they're tortured, the more equipment they drop. Even in death, they strengthen their enemies."

Chen Yu could not refute Xiao Yan's words. He could only say that the gods of the God Realm were inhumane.

Chen Yu folded away his wings, then released the Little Turtle again to devour the Roc's corpse.

Ye Fan did not pay much attention to the wings. "Brother Chen, what is your second Soul Skill?"

Chen Yu did not answer directly. He pointed at a large tree a hundred meters away, then fired an arrow in another direction. The arrow made a sharp turn in midair and shot toward the tree.

"Targeted tracking?"

"Brother Chen will be an unerring master archer from now on."

Xiao Yan had already recovered from his fascination with the wings and said calmly, "What's so surprising about that? Eagles and Rocs naturally have ways to track prey. It's only expected that they would provide him with such a skill."

That was what he said, but inwardly he was bitter. Who wouldn't want such a good skill?

"My second Soul Skill is Tracking Arrow. Its tracking range is one thousand meters. This thousand meters refers to the distance between the enemy and my arrow, not the distance between the enemy and me. The enemy can only avoid my arrow by instantly escaping that range. Otherwise, they can only take it head-on." Chen Yu calmly explained the ability of his second Soul Skill.

After hearing Chen Yu's words, everyone had the same thought: We shouldn't have come. If we hadn't come, we wouldn't have been dealt such a blow.

They were all ordinary people. Could they really be friends with a cheat user? And one with exceptionally good luck, at that.
