The moment his dragon transformation activated, Yu Yuan felt incredibly excited.
How long had it been since he had fought a real battle?
After all, he could not go for the kill in fights at the Soul Fighting Arena, and given his physique, that level of combat did not even count as a warm-up.
But things were different now. Looking at the soul beasts ahead, Yu Yuan could loosen up a little.
In that case, he would start by giving them a taste.
Charging forward, Yu Yuan leaped into the air and took a deep breath.
Compression, conversion, and finally—
His blazing dragon breath shot straight toward the herd of soul beasts.
Hmm, it did not burn his mouth.
The soul beasts charging toward the immortal herb looked up to find a massive fireball above their heads and immediately scattered in every direction.
Those too slow to flee served as meat shields and were blasted away.
Yu Yuan, meanwhile, crashed directly into the heart of the explosion.
The king descended from the heavens!
The dragon heart within him beat continuously as the remaining fire elements from the dragon breath around him were rapidly reclaimed.
It seemed his earlier judgment had been correct.
Yu Yuan checked his expenditure. It was almost nothing. If he wanted, he could breathe out attacks like that all day.
"But now, let's have a proper exchange with our bodies!"
Activating his soul bone, some of the scales on his right hand turned crimson, while his left hand became ice-blue.
Flames and frost coiled around his hands respectively, outlining the phantoms of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings at Yu Yuan's sides.
"Come on, let's see which one of you can take a beating better."
With a sweep of his Dragon Eye, Yu Yuan instantly locked onto the Four-Eyed Scale-Armored Beast hiding among the soul beast herd.
Ning Rongrong's future soul ring?
It should have been around four thousand years old.
He would pick this one first.
As for the soul beasts around it?
Could you please move aside?
Yu Yuan sent the surrounding soul beasts flying, then swung his right claw. Blood splattered as the dragon claw tore straight through its scales.
Then the spatial attribute in his bloodline began to exert its power.
The originally smooth wound on the Four-Eyed Scale-Armored Beast's body instantly ripped inward, exposing its internal organs.
"Roar!"
Driven mad by pain, the Four-Eyed Scale-Armored Beast had just reddened its eyes and prepared to bite Yu Yuan.
"Shut up!"
This soul beast was too weak.
Yu Yuan drove an uppercut into its jaw, forcibly cutting off its roar. Then fire elements gathered, and the crimson scales lit up.
Flame Explosion Fist!
The Four-Eyed Scale-Armored Beast was blasted away. If it was lucky, it might survive.
"Next."
Yu Yuan had just been about to see whether there were any ten-thousand-year soul beasts he could use to test his damage when his Dragon Eye's Future Sight showed a soul beast preparing to ambush him from the left.
Not only did you not run, you actually came closer to me?
I acknowledge your courage.
One second before the Ghost Tiger appeared, Yu Yuan had already swung his left fist at it.
Then he punched it straight into the ground.
"Roar?"
Do you have hacks?
The Ghost Tiger was utterly bewildered. Its invisibility had actually been seen through. Just as it tried to get up and pull away—
It found that Yu Yuan had already changed his fist into a palm and pinned it down tightly.
"Your courage is commendable."
The ice-blue light on his left arm flashed, and the entire Ghost Tiger was frozen from head to toe, turning into a massive ice sculpture.
Frost Coffin!
Yu Yuan looked up at the surrounding soul beasts. The fragrance of the Serene Fragrance Qiluo Immortal Herb continued to lure them in.
Meanwhile, the blood left on Yu Yuan's dragon claws by the Four-Eyed Scale-Armored Beast kept stimulating their nerves.
"Roar!"
"Caw!"
"Hiss!"
After a brief period of suppression, the soul beasts decided that only by eliminating him first could they continue approaching the source of the fragrance.
So they charged!
"Good!"
After seeing through the Dragon Eye that there were no ten-thousand-year soul beasts—
Yu Yuan did not choose to activate his bloodline pressure to intimidate them. Instead, he charged straight into their formation with his fists.
The Fire Dragon King's Flame Fist.
The massive explosion blasted away the vanguard of the soul beast herd, followed by countless ice crystals exploding in all directions, slicing apart the soul beasts that approached.
Ice Crystal Burst.
They were all simple applications of ice and fire elements, with practically no consumption.
His dragon-transformed eyes rapidly tracked the soul beasts' movements. With the help of Future Sight, Yu Yuan could always find the weak points in the herd.
Then came Flame Fist to break through, and ice crystals to scatter them.
Yu Yuan's left fist dealt high damage, while his right fist dealt even higher damage.
He moved like a dragon through the soul beast herd.
He was going on an unstoppable rampage!
Since there were no ten-thousand-year soul beasts in the herd at present, no beast could stand in Yu Yuan's way.
He had not even used Time Reversal once.
He even had the leisure to control his damage, avoiding accidentally killing them.
Of course, whether being crippled was better than being killed outright was another question.
Boom!
After Yu Yuan used one of the Fire Dragon King's weaker self-destruct soul skills—
The soul beasts finally woke from the temptation of the Serene Fragrance Qiluo Immortal Herb and cleared out the area around Yu Yuan.
This human can self-destruct! And he cannot even blow himself to death!
The light elements within his body continuously healed Yu Yuan's injuries.
Do not misunderstand. These soul beasts could not hurt him. Those injuries had been caused when he curiously tried out the self-destruct soul skill just now.
As for why he did not use Time Reversal to return to before he used the soul skill—
Of course, it was because he thought it looked fucking cool!
Alright, the main reason was that Dugu Yan seemed to like it. She had let out an especially obvious scream, and the injuries were not serious anyway. They would recover quickly.
Besides, Yu Yuan was getting a little tired of bullying weaklings. The self-destruction was an excellent way to intimidate the surrounding soul beasts, so in the end, he did not choose to rewind time.
The vertical pupils in Yu Yuan's dragon-transformed eyes swept coldly over the surroundings. Every soul beast caught by his gaze lowered its head on its own.
They crouched low, not daring to look directly at this human who was smaller than them.
They had chickened out.
Xiao Kong was already cheering in Yu Yuan's spiritual space, declaring that this was the bearing of the Lord of Soul Beasts.
Yu Yuan, on the other hand, had only two words to describe how he felt.
Too weak.
Yu Yuan wondered whether the soul beasts here simply had no backbone. He had merely instantly defeated two soul beasts around five thousand years old, then swept through their ranks like a dragon.
And they were already hiding from him?
He had not even released his bloodline pressure.
Yu Yuan stood casually before the soul beast herd, yet no soul beast dared to ambush him like the Ghost Tiger had earlier.
After all, there were now many ice sculptures scattered across the battlefield. They were all soul beasts that had tried to ambush him before, and none of them wanted to join those sculptures.
"Kid, finished already?"
Dugu Bo brought Dugu Yan over to Yu Yuan's side.
This kid really was a freak. Hadn't he said he was only rank forty-three?
How had he managed to move like a dragon through a herd packed with thousand-year soul beasts?
"Little Brother Yu Yuan, you were really handsome just now."
What Dugu Yan liked was Yu Yuan's forceful side. He was already handsome enough normally, but in battle, he had an entirely different charm.
Without the slightest disgust for the blood on Yu Yuan's body, Dugu Yan wrapped herself around him and started demanding kisses.
As if Dugu Bo did not exist.
Ever since last time, she had become fully capable of ignoring her grandfather's presence.
What could Yu Yuan do?
He could only respond to her.
What could Dugu Bo do?
Of course, he could only pretend he had seen nothing.
As the Serene Fragrance Qiluo Immortal Herb continued to take effect, ten-thousand-year soul beasts finally arrived at the battlefield.
Bearing the dignity of ten-thousand-year soul beasts, they looked at the humans ahead and confidently declared—
They would win!
