Third Soul Skill, A Chance Encounter

Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were exceedingly rare on Douluo Continent, and something every Soul Master dreamed of obtaining.

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's Spirit Ring came with two skills, and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was guaranteed to produce a Soul Bone, which also came with two skills. A full four soul skills—an allure no one could refuse.

Since the Soul Beast had willingly sacrificed itself, the Spirit Ring's energy naturally merged into his body. Not only was there no pain, he instead felt utterly refreshed.

Chen Yu's Soul Power also rose at a terrifying rate. Level thirty-one, level thirty-two... level forty. His Soul Power effortlessly reached level forty.

As expected of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. It was incredibly powerful.

A full quarter of an hour passed before the sacrifice ended!

A red Spirit Ring appeared as the third ring on Chen Yu's Destruction Bow Martial Soul.

Chen Yu smiled in satisfaction.

Then, Chen Yu looked at the Nether Evil Crow's head Soul Bone floating in midair, and the smile on his face grew even brighter.

A hundred-thousand-year head Soul Bone. He wondered what surprises it would bring him.

However, Chen Yu had no intention of absorbing the Soul Bone in this valley. What if those three suspected Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts launched a sneak attack while he was absorbing it?

If the Nether Evil Crow's movements had not been so swift before, and if he had not seen the red halo and realized that it was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's sacrifice, which would be protected by a special domain, he would never have allowed the Nether Evil Crow to sacrifice itself here.

After all, Chen Yu did not know whether Soul Beasts under a hundred thousand years would have a special domain when they sacrificed themselves. If they did not, he might be attacked while absorbing the Spirit Ring.

After putting away the Nether Evil Crow's head Soul Bone and corpse, Chen Yu rode a rainbow streak of light away.

The corpse of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast could not be wasted either. Once Little Turtle devoured it, it could condense a Spirit Ring.

After flying out of the area shrouded in dense mist, Chen Yu casually found a cave and entered it. Once he confirmed there were no Soul Beasts inside, he began absorbing the head Soul Bone.

This process was far from pleasant.

Although his physical body was strong, this was a head Soul Bone after all. His senses were amplified many times over, and the pain made him grimace.

It took a full half hour before Chen Yu successfully absorbed the Nether Evil Crow's head Soul Bone.

The Nether Evil Crow's head Soul Bone could also be called the Cursed Skull. The two soul skills it provided were Nurture Soul and Curse Soul.

Nurture Soul consumed Soul Power to nourish the soul, slowly strengthening it. When there was no Soul Power left, this skill automatically stopped.

Curse Soul consumed Soul Power to curse a target's soul. It required no medium and could curse directly. However, unlike Nurture Soul, if the curse he cast was too powerful and Chen Yu did not have enough Soul Power, the skill would not stop. It would consume other things from Chen Yu, such as physical strength, mental power, or even lifespan.

Even so, Chen Yu was quite satisfied. Diarrhea and farting probably would not consume much, right? A single small mistake in battle could cost someone their life.

Because Chen Yu's Soul Power had already reached level forty during the Nether Evil Crow's sacrifice, he would not be able to know his exact Soul Power Level without obtaining another Spirit Ring. Thus, Chen Yu did not know what level his Soul Power had reached after absorbing the Soul Bone.

The soul skills provided by Chen Yu's hundred-thousand-year third Spirit Ring were Annihilation Arrow and Inducement Arrow. Annihilation Arrow injured the opponent's soul, while Inducement Arrow triggered hidden injuries and similar latent dangers within an enemy's body.

As expected of a Nether Evil Crow that wielded curses and souls. These soul skills were truly excellent. He even wanted to hunt more Nether Evil Crows now to strengthen these two soul skills.

But in the end, he did not hunt any more Nether Evil Crows. Setting aside the promise he had made earlier, he would suffer a huge loss if he obtained identical soul skills. Besides, acquiring Spirit Rings in the future could also strengthen his third soul skill. There was no need to hunt Nether Evil Crows again.

Outside the Star Dou Forest, Chen Yu entered a hotel. He found an empty seat and sat down.

He had been lying in wait for nearly a month, and the food he had brought was almost gone. He had no idea how long it would take to find a fourth Spirit Ring, so he planned to come out and purchase some supplies.

He called over a waiter, ordered several signature dishes, and quietly waited by himself.

After a while, a group entered from outside. There were eight people in total. Since Chen Yu had his back to the entrance, he did not notice them immediately. It was not until the words "Flender" came from beside him that he turned to look.

By pure coincidence, he met the gaze of a handsome young man with exquisite features, blue hair, and blue eyes. Chen Yu did not pay much attention to him and looked at the others instead. Then he realized that every one of them had distinctive traits, perfectly matching the Shrek Seven Devils.

The group of seven was simply too recognizable. Dai Mubai's golden hair and mismatched eyes, Oscar's peach blossom eyes, Ma Hongjun's fat body, Zhu Zhuqing's curvaceous figure, Xiao Wu's scorpion braid, and Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect emblem.

Thinking of something, Chen Yu looked at the blue-haired, blue-eyed young man again. Could he be Tang San? Had Tang San awakened the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline ahead of time? At that moment, the blue-haired, blue-eyed youth happened to be looking at him as well.

What also made Chen Yu curious was how Tang Hao had persuaded Xiao Wu. He could tell that Xiao Wu was not the least bit afraid or nervous. If she had been threatened, she should not have been in this state.

But none of that mattered. He now had a decision to make: should he take Xiao Wu's Spirit Ring now, or leave it for later?

In the end, he decided to first search for those special Soul Beasts. As for Xiao Wu, this Soft Bone Rabbit, he would leave her alone for now. If he could not find any special Soul Beasts, he could come back and take her Spirit Ring then.

Just then, the dishes Chen Yu had ordered were brought out. He stopped looking at the Shrek group beside him and began eating with his head down. There would be a good show to watch soon.

Sure enough, when he was halfway through his meal, he heard Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai talking. Then he took his bowl and chopsticks to a stool on his right, eating as he watched them fight.

When he saw the Canghui Academy teacher use Martial Soul Possession, Chen Yu's expression turned rather ugly. He decided that he would absolutely never merge with Little Turtle in the future.

Besides, Little Turtle was a tangible Soul Beast that could be projected externally. He wondered whether it could possess him and merge with him.

In that brief moment of distraction, everyone in the hotel had already gone outside. By the time Chen Yu arrived, the Canghui Academy teacher had already been sent flying by Zhao Wuji's slap.

"Clap, clap, clap!"

"Wonderful, truly wonderful."

Chen Yu's applause rang out. Since they had run into each other, how could they not have a friendly exchange?

"Fine work. You deserve a reward."

As soon as he finished speaking, a Gold Soul Coin flew into the scene and landed at Ma Hongjun's feet.

"Who is it? Get out here!" Dai Mubai flew into a rage. Which bastard had treated them like street performers?

The surrounding crowd automatically parted to make way, revealing Chen Yu standing there alone.

"Were you the one applauding just now? Were you also the one who threw that Gold Soul Coin?" Dai Mubai's voice seemed coated in ice, cold and piercing.

Chen Yu innocently spread his hands. "I thought your performance was very entertaining. Is there a problem?"

Chen Yu's words stunned Dai Mubai for a moment, followed by towering fury.

A performance?

You fucking called that a performance?

Fine. Since he liked watching performances so much, Laozi would let him experience one firsthand.

The expressions of the other Shrek members were not much better either. No one liked being treated like monkeys on display.

Dai Mubai had yet to exit his Martial Soul Possession state. He walked toward Chen Yu step by step. "You like watching shows? What's the point of merely watching? Wouldn't it be better for you to experience it yourself?"
