Beast Soul Combat Power

"A beast-like form?" Li Wei naturally agreed.
Next, two holographic images appeared on the virtual panel. Li Wei recognized both images; one was the High Rank Tigrex he had killed in Monster Hunter World, and the other was clearly the appearance of the Red Dragon he had just seen.
"Please select beast form..."
Seeing the prompt, Li Wei mechanically selected the image of the Tigrex, after all, that high-ranking Tigrex had left a very deep impression on Li Wei.
The moment Li Wei made his choice, the Beast Soul erupted with a massive cloud of white mist.
"What now?" The adventurers, already bewildered by the series of events that had unfolded so far, asked mechanically.
"I just saw it; the sword suddenly burst open, releasing a lot of smoke. I suppose there will be a surprise soon," said a sharp-eyed adventurer, who was now completely free of his initial panic.
Every time they tried to break out of this canyon, they suffered losses. Just a day ago, one of his friends died on the way, along with seven other people who were also killed by the monster.
Today, in the same place, facing a large number of monsters, the situation has completely reversed.
The monster army had been utterly routed by the boy and the girl in green. This was something that even Xue Yan Seventy-Two hadn't anticipated, let alone the adventurers.
Although they knew Li Wei and Green Conch were strong, they didn't expect them to be this strong.
"Look, the white mist is dissipating!" an adventurer shouted, and instantly, almost everyone's eyes turned to the dissipating white mist in the air.
'Roar'
A roar instantly shook everyone's eardrums.
"This... this voice is...?" Seventy-Two shook his head, his heart pounding.
He knew that voice all too well. Not long ago, he had almost died at the hands of the owner of that voice. If he remembered correctly, that roar should belong to...
Just then, a massive figure emerged from the white mist. The shadow slashed past, and a Red Dragon was bitten on the neck by the suddenly appearing shadow. The Red Dragon tried to struggle, but the shadow suddenly exerted force, and with a crack, a huge Red Dragon head fell off and crashed to the ground.
The sound of sharp teeth crushing carapace, flesh, and bones reached the ears of every adventurer. Looking up, a truly peculiar and enormous flying dragon appeared in the sky.
Its dragon armor was much thicker, each piece seemingly made of pure steel. Just one glance at its claws and teeth was enough to intimidate anyone with its terrifying ferocity. Without a doubt, this was an imposing flying dragon, and even in terms of size, its body and limbs were a size larger than the Red Dragon.
The Red Dragon's body could be described as having a certain aesthetic appeal, but the flying dragon possessed only violence.
'Roar'
With another roar, all the monsters scattered as if they had encountered their natural enemy. Even the few remaining Red Dragon and the already wounded Hydra fled quickly. In no time, not a single monster remained at the entrance of the canyon.
No one expected it to end like this.
"Heavens, it's actually that Tigrex?" Seventy-Two swallowed hard, his face full of disbelief. He had almost died in the jaws of that beast back then, but now, the beast was slowly flying towards Li Wei and then, with a 'bang,' it reverted to its greatsword form.
The three Old Ghost also transformed into white mist and entered the greatsword.
"Alright, let's go." Li Wei patted the Beast Soul, overjoyed. He hadn't expected the Beast Soul to be so powerful, capable of transforming into the form of a devoured wild beast, and judging by its power, it was in no way inferior to that of a real high-ranking Tigrex.
Earned
This was what Li Wei thought about most. He never expected that the blacksmith granny in Monster Hunter World was so powerful; the Beast Soul she forged could definitely be called a divine weapon.
"Can we explore the Level 7 Illusion Realm together?"
Li Wei's strength immediately made him a renowned figure among adventurers. In the perilous Level 7 Illusion Realm, having such a companion by your side would mean there's practically no danger at all.
As a result, many adventurers tried to recruit Li Wei into their teams or Li Wei party, but Li Wei dismissed them all with a single sentence.
"I'm not here to explore the Level 7 Illusion Realm; I'm going to venture deeper into the Illusion Realm. If you'd like to come along, then you're welcome to join me."
Delving into a Level 7 Illusion Realm?
Are you kidding me? From the day the Illusion Realm was created, this level 7 Illusion Realm has been the highest level that adventurers can enter. Even the most powerful adventurers, such as the legendary Ice Emperor and Fire God, dare not say that they can enter the depths of a level 7 Illusion Realm. Even the outer edges of a level 7 Illusion Realm are enough for adventurers to explore.
Now, someone actually wants to enter the depths of the Level 7 Illusion Realm. If it weren't for the powerful combat strength that Li Wei displayed at the beginning, these adventurers would probably have immediately ridiculed and mocked him. But even so, there was another layer of meaning in the way they looked at Li Wei.
"Even if you are powerful, you will surely die if you enter the depths of a level 7 Illusion Realm."
This one sentence was clearly written on the faces of all the adventurers.
Seeing the expressions on the faces of the adventurers, Li Wei smiled. This time, he had come prepared; he was determined to find the Angel Clan and resurrect his family and friends no matter what.
After parting ways with the group of adventurers, Li Wei led his men deeper into the level 7 Illusion Realm.
"Go further ahead, this is my first time here too. See that? Behind this mountain is the barrier of the Behemoth. Be careful, these beasts are stronger than the Tigrex in terms of sheer power. Make sure they don't discover us," Seventy-Two said, looking at a mountain in the distance with a look of reminiscence.
Last time, he found several Treasure Chest filled with strategic resources here, and guarding those Treasure Chest was a Behemoth.
Defeating it will grant you the strategic resources crucial for upgrading your town.
Seventy-Two's initial choice was to attack. Together with the 99 Knight, he launched an attack on the Behemoth using their strongest special skills. However, the result was something Seventy-Two had never expected at the beginning.
He made the stupidest decision ever; he got hit the moment he made contact.
With a single blow, Seventy-Two was sent flying hundreds of meters.
His armor was 70% shattered, 80% of his bones were broken, and his muscles were torn. If it weren't for the 99 Knight seeing the danger and risking their lives to save Seventy-Two, his tombstone would probably be overgrown with weeds by now.
This alone demonstrates the immense power of the Behemoth's attack.
As a warrior, Seventy-Two had hesitated for a time between offensive and defensive special skills, but after Shadow Street closed, he made his choice.
Defense type.
This was Seventy-Two's final choice, and therefore, his defense was extremely strong. But even so, he still couldn't withstand even one such attack.
Everyone nodded, except for Green Conch, who smiled slightly, clearly showing her disdain for the Behemoth by Seventy-Two.
"Anyway, it's always better to be careful," Li Wei patted Seventy-Two on the shoulder, and the group continued on their way.
Sure enough, after rounding the hilltop, Li Wei saw a giant beast crouching beside a huge rock.
"Behemoth, combat strength unknown"
Next to it, there are two Treasure Chest.
"Seventy-Two, it's not that it hurt you, is it?" Li Wei looked at Seventy-Two with a strange expression.
Seventy-Two's expression was even more interesting than Li Wei's; it swallowed hard and nodded.
"Li Wei, I'd like to see for myself today whether this beast your friend spoke of is truly as powerful as it seems," Green Conch said with a smile upon seeing the Behemoth.
Li Wei knew exactly what she was thinking.
After leaving the Demon-Locking Tower and coming to the real world with her, she was deferential to everyone except herself. With her peak A3 combat power, she certainly had the right to look down on everyone. In addition, her competitive personality made her eager to fight when she heard Seventy-Two's 'exaggerated' statement.
Li Wei knew that Green Conch wouldn't listen to anything he said at this point. Although the Behemoth's combat strength was at most A3, it was about the same as Green Conch's, so there was no need to worry about Green Conch's safety.
Moreover, in Li Wei's understanding, the Behemoth and the Archangel should be on the same level, so from its appearance, one can roughly deduce the Archangel's strength.
Green Conch soared into the air and entered the Behemoth's perception range, at which point the enormous monster sat up from the ground.
Upon closer inspection, the Green Conch was also startled.
Although this Behemoth didn't possess the dragon armor of the Red Dragon we encountered earlier, its fur was still extraordinary. Each hair was like a steel needle, thick and dense. Perhaps because it hadn't been washed in a long time, its fur was covered with sand and mud, which over the years had become a kind of protective armor for the behemoth. But what was most astonishing were the behemoth's thick arms; even from a distance, the muffled thuds produced by the muscles rubbing together when the behemoth moved its arms could be clearly heard.
"Strength is its strength, speed is unknown, and it is not suitable for close combat"—this was the judgment Green Conch made in an instant.
As Green Conch observed the Behemoth, the beast roared and slammed its fist heavily into the ground. Instantly, a large area within a dozen meters of its fist collapsed downwards, and its fist was deeply embedded in the ground.
Then, the giant beast swept its arm, and a large number of stones shot towards Green Conch like bullets.
Green Conch, who was already on guard, calmly performed a Sword Shield incantation. Instantly, her longsword transformed into dozens of swords that then converged into a round shield, protecting her in front of her.
The stones that came hurtling through the air slammed into the Sword Shield with a thud. The powerful impact forced Green Conch to increase the output of its true energy. Fortunately, none of the stones pierced through the Sword Shield.
Just then, Green Conch heard Li Wei's voice.
"Careful"
