Sudden Attack

Time flies, and soon a month later, Ling Yi and Yang Shelly embarked on their journey once again.

During this month, Yang Shelly completely mastered the twelve bird and beast forms of the "Basic Body Tempering Technique", and even mastered the cat and chicken forms to a level that perfectly captured both form and spirit.

In light of this, Ling Yi expanded the first version of "Beast Martial Soul: Xingyi Fist Style" by adding leopard and eagle Martial Soul Skill corresponding to cat and chicken forms, and then taught them to Yang Shelly.

The corresponding information on Martial Soul Skill was all memorized in Ling Yi's mind. Some of the information recorded on paper was also stored in the "Ruyi Hundred Treasure Purse". Ling Yi only needed to retrieve it and spend a few days to deduce it.

The reason I hadn't deduced it before was simply because the nine forms of the fist stance were already enough for me. People around me could learn one or two forms from the nine forms, which already took a lot of time and energy. Learning more would only delay the cultivation of Soul Power, which would be putting the cart before the horse and was not advisable.

Over the years, the twelve forms of the Basic Body Tempering Technique have been perfected to the point of near perfection. They correspond to the physical strength of a Soul Scholar. As long as one of the forms is practiced to its peak, the cultivator can expect to use it to hone their body to a level no weaker than a level ten Soul Scholar.

Note that this is a level 10 Soul Scholar with Beast Martial Soul, in the state of Martial Soul Possession!

Of course, achieving this level with just one "Basic Body Tempering Technique" is no less difficult and less likely than comprehending Sword Intent by practicing "Basic Sword Technique" alone.

Similarly, there is also "Beast Martial Soul: Xingyi Fist 1.0", which corresponds to the One-Ring Soul Master level. Each move can temper the cultivator's physique to the level of a quasi- Grand Soul Master level 20).

The above represents the achievements that an ordinary person without Soul Power can attain by simply using their own Qi and Blood to cultivate these two techniques.

If Soul Master with Soul Power practices, with the support of their own Martial Soul and the nurturing and tempering of Soul Power, they can raise their cultivation level by half a level.

In other words, Soul Scholar successfully cultivates can possess the physique of One-Ring Soul Master ahead of time; while One-Ring Soul Master who cultivates can potentially hone their physical attributes to the level of Two-Ring Grand Soul Master.

The higher you go in strengthening your physical strength, the more difficult it becomes.

Only pioneers like Ling Yi, who cultivated all the bird and beast forms to perfection and thoroughly understood the essence behind all the fist stances, were able to break through the upper limit of "Beast Martial Soul: Xingyi Fist Stance 1.0" and obtain physical strength comparable to that of a Soul Venerable at the Grand Soul Master Soul Elder.

Even so, it still requires the boost of vital energy from various tonics and the help of some external tools.

After a month of cultivation, plus the half-month of repairing her hidden injuries, Yang Shelly's Soul Power increased by more than one level, and she was now not far from level thirty-four.

This is progress in Soul Power, at least twice as fast as the normal cultivation trajectory that Yang Shelly herself had calculated!

However, compared to simply absorbing the vital energy dissipated by the tonic and the spontaneous enhancement of Soul Power through meditation after the qi and Qi and Blood become strong and vigorous, Yang Shelly was most surprised by the improvement in her physical fitness and combat power.

As a Soul Master with Tool Martial Soul, Yang Shelly's physical strength is naturally far inferior to that of a Soul Master with Beast Martial Soul of the same level.

In fact, compared to many powerful Beast Martial Soul Grand Soul Master, Yang Shelly is far inferior in terms of strength and physique alone.

Both being Beast Martial Soul, can the physical enhancement provided by the "Soft Bone Rabbit" compare to that of the "White Tiger"?

As one of the Five Poisons, the "Jade Phosphorous Serpent" is a high-quality Beast Martial Soul with a great reputation in the Douluo Continent. In terms of the increase in physical strength, it is definitely far inferior to the "Great Strength Gorilla" and "Plate Armor Rhinoceros".

In this relatively realistic Douluo Continent, nothing is static, and there are no simple data comparisons or mindless victories like in online games.

Yang Shelly, who comes from a collateral branch of the Yang Clan family of the "Breaking Clan", did not inherit the powerful offensive characteristics of the "Soul Breaking Spear" Martial Soul soul. However, her low-quality "Scythe" Martial Soul from her maternal side has been enhanced to a certain extent. In terms of quality, it is comparable to a mid-level Martial Soul, Innate Soul Power has reached level five.

He reached level 10 at the age of eight, his First Soul Ring was 270 years old, and his Soul Power increased to level 11.

At age twelve, he reached level twenty, his Second Soul Ring was five hundred and eighty years old, and his Soul Power increased to level twenty-one.

He is eighteen years old this year. At the beginning of the year, he cultivated to level 30 and Third Soul Ring for 1,100 years. Two months later, when he met Ling Yi, he was already a level 32 Soul Elder.

Yang Shelly, who follows the standard Extreme School of the "Breaking Clan", is only a small group of top-tier players in the Douluo Continent in terms of explosive power and attack power among Soul Elder.

This is Yang Shelly at level 32, comparable to those at level 39 or even 40, who are Soul Elder or Quasi-Soul Ancestor.

However, when it comes to attributes such as strength, speed, stamina, recovery ability, and resistance to poison, she is at a disadvantage among Soul Elder of the same level. In fact, some powerful Grand Soul Master have corresponding attributes that are stronger than Yang Shelly's.

In other words, her neural reaction speed is not lagging behind. Otherwise, without complementary teammates, Extreme School Soul Master like Yang Shelly would be easily defeated by Soul Master who are weaker than her, who would exploit these weaknesses.

Within the Star Luo Empire, in a forest of novice Soul Beast near the border.

Yang Shelly, wielding the "Long-Handled Scythe" Martial Soul, is locked in a fierce battle with a "Wind Shadow Leopard".

This "Wind Shadow Leopard" isn't very old, only a little over three hundred years old. For a lone wolf at the Grand Soul Master level, it's a minor boss that could easily kill them. But for Soul Elder with Thousand-Year Soul Skill, it's just that the opponent is too fast, making it a bit troublesome and difficult to deal with.

After another unsuccessful attempt, the "Wind Shadow Leopard" leaped back more than ten meters away. Its eyes gleamed with a cunning light as it glanced warily at the scythe blade in Yang Shelly's hand, which was emitting a dark light, and it began to consider retreating.

About ten minutes have passed since the two sides first encountered each other in the forest, and neither Yang Shelly nor "Wind Shadow Leopard" has achieved any substantial results.

Although Yang Shelly's physical abilities have improved, she is still a step behind "Wind Shadow Leopard". Even though the "Long-Handled Scythe" in her hand is sharp, it is futile if she cannot cut the opponent.

The situation faced by "Wind Shadow Leopard" was similar. Although it was a bit faster than Yang Shelly, it was not fast enough to secure the victory. Faced with Yang Shelly's "Long-Handled Scythe" wielded like the wind, it had to avoid her sharp edge.

After a brief standoff, the "Wind Shadow Leopard" slowly retreated and disappeared into the jungle, its presence no longer visible.

Carefully watching the direction the "Wind Shadow Leopard" had gone, while also keeping an eye on other locations around her, Yang Shelly slowly moved to the base of a large tree.

Ling Yi leaped down from the tree trunk, which was about seven or eight meters high, and stood beside Yang Shelly. He smiled and asked, "How was it? After getting up close to a leopard-type Soul Beast, are you confident that you can master the ' Wind Leopard Assault ' technique?"

"Our luck this time was truly exceptional. We expected to encounter other types of leopard-type Soul Beast, but unexpectedly, we ran into the ' Wind Shadow Leopard ' by sheer coincidence. The source of the Soul Skill ' Wind Leopard Assault ' is none other than another ' Wind Shadow Leopard '..."

"Yes!" Yang Shelly nodded vigorously, her face beaming with undisguised joy, and said happily, "Don't worry, Brother Yi, I was observing carefully just now. I remembered every move of that ' Wind Shadow Leopard,' whether it pounced and swung its claws or leaped and turned around..."

The two talked as they walked, heading towards the edge of the forest.

This time, the two of them had only come in by chance, so that Yang Shelly could observe the demeanor and movements of the leopard-type Soul Beast up close.

When they arrived at a stream about four or five miles from the forest exit, Ling Yi let out a soft "hmm" and then squatted down to observe what was in the stream.

Time flows quietly, just like a stream.

Sudden!

Yang Shelly, who had left Ling Yi's side at some point, appeared on the trunk of a large tree more than a hundred meters behind Ling Yi. Her "Long-Handled Scythe" gleamed with a terrifying sharpness as she fiercely slashed towards another large tree.

I'm having some writer's block o(╥╥)o

The first chapter tomorrow morning will have to be postponed until noon. My eyelids are drooping, I'm so sleepy~
