Immobilization Technique, Hunting Soul Beasts

Soul Hunting Forest.

A golden figure swung and darted freely through the trees.

It was Bai Yi.

Xiao Wu struggled to keep up with him from behind.

"Hey, Bai Yi, wait for me! Why are you swinging around so fast? Where are you going?"

"If you can't keep up, don't come. I'm going to hunt Soul Beasts."

Bai Yi said.

Xiao Wu frowned and shouted:

"Bai Yi, you're a Soul Beast too. Are you going to hunt your own kind? That's so mean."

The next second, Bai Yi wrapped his tail around a thick branch and hung upside down from the tree.

He stopped and said, "People can be good or bad. Soul Beasts can be good or bad too."

"But more importantly, this is a world where the strong prey on the weak."

Xiao Wu stopped, panting. After a moment of silence, she asked:

"Then, Bai Yi... do you think I'm good or bad?"

Bai Yi answered without hesitation:

"Worse. You're stupid."

"Bai Yi!"

Xiao Wu stomped her feet in anger.

"Quiet. We're here."

Bai Yi jumped down from the tree and motioned for Xiao Wu to keep quiet.

Xiao Wu hurriedly covered her mouth and stopped talking.

By now, the two had reached the depths of the forest, yet the vegetation had grown sparser and sparser.

There were also barely any Soul Beasts in sight.

This proved that they had approached the territory of a powerful Soul Beast.

Bai Yi touched a piece of ore on the ground.

"The Black Gold Mysterious Armor Bear's cave is ahead. Stay here. I'll go by myself."

Xiao Wu nodded.

Bai Yi then slowly walked forward.

Until he approached a massive cave.

Broken Soul Beast bones and glittering ore fragments lay scattered before the cave.

Without another word, Bai Yi leaped up with the Golden Cudgel in hand and smashed it toward the cave entrance.

Rumble!!

Accompanied by the sound of falling rocks, the entire cave was buried.

After a brief silence, a muffled bear roar came from within the buried cave.

The roar was so violent that the rubble, the earth, and the trees all trembled.

Several seconds later, a giant bear four meters tall and black as ink burst through the rocks.

Its dark-red eyes instantly locked onto Bai Yi, the uninvited guest.

Its sharp bear claws dug into the ground, and it charged at Bai Yi with a stride of all four limbs.

Bai Yi watched the black bear charging toward him, and it reminded him of being hit by a truck in his previous life.

But now, he was no unarmed mortal.

What he held in his hand was the Ocean-Stabilizing Needle, the Ruyi Golden Cudgel!

The next moment,

The black bear raised its razor-sharp claw. The metallic gleam coating it seemed capable of easily tearing apart steel.

It slammed its paw down!

Bang!

Rubble flew everywhere, and a huge crater was punched directly into the ground.

Unfortunately, the attack missed.

Bai Yi twisted aside and leaped away, nimbly evading the strike.

Seeing its attack miss, the black bear grew furious and swung another claw.

Bai Yi still dodged it with a flip.

By then, the black bear's forepaws had left the ground, and it was no longer standing on all fours.

Seizing the opportunity, Bai Yi swung his cudgel.

Thud!!!

The Golden Cudgel struck the black bear heavily in the abdomen, making its belly ripple like waves.

Its four-meter-tall body was knocked a great distance backward.

Then it sprawled on the ground and let out two mournful howls.

The three-thousand-year Black Gold Mysterious Armor Bear possessed top-tier attack and defense, and even its attack speed was exceptionally fierce.

Its only weaknesses were its abdomen and lower jaw.

Bai Yi assessed the situation.

At present, he only had level ten Soul Power and no Soul Skills.

Defeating a powerful three-thousand-year Soul Beast would still be difficult.

But as long as he avoided getting hit and relied on the Golden Cudgel's formidable quality to repeatedly strike the black bear's weak points,

Killing this black bear would only be a matter of time.

His thoughts took no more than a second before the black bear charged at him again.

While dodging nimbly, Bai Yi occasionally counterattacked with the Golden Cudgel, every strike landing precisely on the black bear's abdomen.

The black bear became increasingly pained and enraged.

Xiao Wu, watching from not far away, was completely stunned.

She had known Bai Yi intended to hunt a powerful Soul Beast.

But she had not expected him to be this strong.

What did it mean for a level-ten Soul Master without a Soul Ring to solo a three-thousand-year Black Gold Mysterious Armor Bear?

In Xiao Wu's eyes,

It was like a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo using a pole vault to dodge a Mandala Snake's attack, then twisting its waist to strike back twice.

"Bai Yi is amazing."

Xiao Wu stared unblinkingly at this battle that resembled a work of art.

At that moment, the Black Gold Mysterious Armor Bear, having been toyed with for so long, was finally pushed past its limit.

The black bear bared its teeth and inhaled. The airflow spiraled, and its enormous suction dragged even the scattered stones on the ground into its belly.

Its entire chest began to expand before it closed its mouth.

The next second,

Roar!!!

Black Wind Roar!

Along with a roar that shook the forest, a vortex of black wind surged toward Bai Yi.

The airflow was as sharp as blades, carving streaks across the ground.

Faced with such a terrifying attack,

Bai Yi's expression remained calm.

Or rather, this was precisely the moment he had been waiting for.

Bai Yi planted the Golden Cudgel into the ground with one hand, and the black wind instantly slowed.

Then, with his other hand, he formed a hand seal and lightly pointed at the black bear.

Immobilization Technique.

The golden light blooming from his fingertip shot out in an instant, enveloping the black bear's entire body.

At that moment, the world fell silent.

The black bear's entire body was imprisoned by golden light, unable to move.

Only its thoughts could still function.

And from the corner of its eye, it saw that terrifying human holding a cudgel approaching it step by step.

The black bear began to feel fear. It knew that using this final move had also exposed the weakness of its abdomen.

This time, the black bear could no longer endure it.

Bai Yi stared at the wound he had created through repeated strikes.

Holding the Golden Cudgel, he silently thought, Grow, then thrust it forward with all his strength!

Splurt!

Bright-red blood sprayed out.

The Black Gold Mysterious Armor Bear was dead.

Bai Yi pulled back the Golden Cudgel, shook off the blood on it, and put it away.

Then he sat down and began absorbing the three-thousand-year purple Soul Ring that had emerged from the black bear's corpse.

[Nine Trials of Heaven-Equal · First Trial completed]

[Lingming Stone Monkey has obtained a million-year Soul Ring, unlocking divine abilities: Copper Head and Iron Arms, Body Outside Body Technique.]

[The next trial will begin when Immortal Power reaches level twenty]

Bai Yi opened his eyes. A pale golden gleam flashed within them before fading away moments later.

Now, his first Martial Soul, the Golden Cudgel, possessed a three-thousand-year Soul Ring, while his second Martial Soul, the Lingming Stone Monkey, had obtained a golden Soul Ring.

With this, his strength had undergone a qualitative leap. At last, he possessed the basic ability to protect himself in this world.

"Bai Yi, Bai Yi, what Soul Skill did you use to freeze that black bear just now? That was amazing!"

After seeing that everything had ended, Xiao Wu ran over and asked curiously.

Bai Yi smiled.

"What, do you want to try it too?"

Xiao Wu recalled the black bear's helplessly frozen appearance. Thinking of something, she covered her face and shook her head.

"No, no. You can't do bad things to me while I can't move."

Bai Yi sighed helplessly:

"Sure enough, you really are a stupid rabbit."
