Suitable Soul Beast

Ye Yu simultaneously removed the Heavy Iron from both his arms and legs, immediately feeling his body become as light as a feather.

Ye Yu jumped several times in place and sighed softly. "My body feels much lighter."

Flender was extremely astonished. He asked, "Xiao Yu, how much gravity are you bearing in total?"

Flender realized that the Gravity Armor and Heavy Iron together weighed several thousand jin.

However, Ye Yu's answer left Flender so shocked that he could barely speak.

"Sixteen thousand jin in total."

Flender: "!!!"

"This... how is that possible?!" Flender found it unbelievable. How could it be that heavy? He was clearly only six years old. Even if his body was different from ordinary people's, this was far too monstrous, wasn't it?

Flender bent down to pick up the Gravity Armor. The moment he lifted it, he found it extremely heavy. The Gravity Armor alone weighed around eight thousand jin.

Flender exclaimed, "Looks like you're even more monstrous than I imagined. You really are the first monster I've ever encountered."

As the dean of Shrek Academy, Flender had seen plenty of monsters. But Ye Yu could be called a monster among monsters. No Little Monster had ever left him so astonished and incredulous. It was as if a monster of Ye Yu's level simply could not exist.

Ye Yu took the Gravity Armor, placed it and the Heavy Iron in front of his belt, and entered the space within the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night.

"Dean Flender, let's get moving!" Ye Yu said expectantly.

"All right."

Flender increased his speed as he headed deeper into the Soul Hunting Forest, while Ye Yu moved extremely quickly and could easily keep up with him.

The wind whistled constantly beside their ears as the surroundings flashed past rapidly.

When they reached the middle region of the Soul Hunting Forest, they began searching for a suitable Soul Beast.

If it were the Nine Hearts Begonia, there would be no need to consider what kind of Soul Beast to acquire, because no matter what kind of Soul Beast it was, the resulting skill would only be one thing: Healing. The Nine Spirit Black Tang was different, however. Ye Yu felt that it would not possess only a single healing ability.

Thus, Master had said that it would be best to find a Soul Beast with powerful healing abilities, as well as a Soul Beast with exceptionally strong Strength, defense, and other attributes.

After arriving here, they had already encountered several Thousand-Year Soul Beasts that wanted to attack Ye Yu. But when Flender released his Soul Power, the Soul Beasts were frightened away.

Soon, Flender's eyes lit up. "It's a Swift Growth Tiger. Judging by the purple light it gives off and its body length, it's a Soul Beast just over a thousand years old. This one will do."

Ye Yu looked over. The Swift Growth Tiger did resemble a gecko, except that it was much larger.

Flender explained, "The Swift Growth Tiger has an extremely powerful regenerative ability. It's one of the Soul Beasts Master mentioned as being most suitable for you. Even when facing a Soul Master of corresponding strength, this Swift Growth Tiger absolutely wouldn't be hunted. Its combat power might be inferior, but it definitely wouldn't be killed, because its vitality is too strong. Its regeneration is also formidable, and it recovers very quickly."

Ye Yu nodded. "Mm. Dean Flender, I'll trouble you."

"It's no trouble. I'm a Soul Sage, after all. Dealing with a thousand-year Soul Beast like this is easy. However, although it's only a thousand-year Soul Beast, I still have to go all out and torment it, making it give up hope of living and feel that death would instead be a form of release. That way, you'll have an easier time absorbing its Soul Ring."

Ye Yu naturally knew that Master had reminded Flender that when facing a Soul Beast, he had to beat it mercilessly with all his strength.

A pair of enormous wings spread out behind Flender. His entire body became covered in feathers, his eyes turned yellow, and his pupils became vertical, resembling those of an eagle.

Seven Soul Rings circled Flender's body, one after another from top to bottom.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black!

Even without displaying his Soul Rings, anyone could tell that this was the optimal Soul Ring configuration.

After sensing the intense danger, the Swift Growth Tiger turned and fled. It crawled extremely fast, so fast that even Ye Yu couldn't catch up when going all out. However, escaping from Flender, a Soul Sage of the Agility Attack System, was impossible.

Soon, Flender caught up to the Swift Growth Tiger. Even though it resisted, it was futile, and it was completely beaten down.

Watching the Swift Growth Tiger let out one agonized howl after another, Ye Yu sighed. "Bad luck for you."

Flender's one-sided torment of the Swift Growth Tiger also allowed Ye Yu to see how powerful its vitality and self-healing abilities were. If it had been another thousand-year Soul Beast, it would have died long ago, but the Swift Growth Tiger's life force had not weakened much.

Its body was covered in wounds, but they healed at an extremely rapid pace. Even after its tail was severed, it quickly began to grow back.

Flender said coldly, "Why bother? Doing this will only make you suffer more."

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

Dull impacts and miserable howls rang out without pause. Ye Yu was too embarrassed to keep watching. The scene before him was like an adult bullying a child.

Flender was completely overpowering the Soul Beast, while Master's side was extremely dangerous.

The moment the Mandala Snake landed, its body arched before it suddenly sprang forward, rapidly closing in on Master and Tang San.

Master's eyes were filled with panic. If he died, then so be it, but Xiao San had only just embarked on the road of life. If he died here prematurely, it would be such a waste.

Master decided to flee with all his strength and shouted in a low voice, "Fart like smoke and mist, hypnotize and put Luos an Pao to sleep!"

With a muffled fart that sounded like a thunderclap, yellow gas swept toward the rear. The Mandala Snake emerged from it, unaffected by the hypnosis. As a top-tier poisonous creature, it was immune to the hypnotic smoke.

Master felt somewhat regretful. If he had known, he would have asked Flender for help as well. Dealing with a three- or four-hundred-year Soul Beast would not have taken him even a few seconds.

"Xiao San, I'm sorry. I was too overconfident. I didn't expect us to encounter a four-hundred-year Mandala Snake," Master said apologetically.

Tang San said solemnly, "Teacher, we may not necessarily be in danger. Let's go all out and fight for a chance of survival!"

Seeing that Tang San did not despair when facing a four-hundred-year Mandala Snake, but instead burned with fighting spirit and possessed an intense desire to live in his eyes, Master secretly praised him. I really didn't take the wrong disciple.

Master nodded heavily. "Mm. Until the final moment, we must never give up."

Although Master felt that their hope was slim, Tang San had his own trump cards. Without definite trump cards, even the strongest desire to survive would be useless.

At this moment, the Swift Growth Tiger had already been beaten to the brink of death by Flender. It had been tormented terribly, beaten until its swollen body no longer resembled its original form and looked like a pig.

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Ye Yu's forehead. He exclaimed, "Dean Flender, you're truly terrifying when you get serious. If I hadn't been watching the whole time, I would have suspected that the Soul Beast in front of me wasn't the Swift Growth Tiger."

Flender laughed heartily, somewhat embarrassed. He was a dignified Soul Sage, yet he had tormented and killed a thousand-year Soul Beast like this.

"Haha, I'm feeling a little embarrassed myself. That's why I say Xiao Gang should have found someone else for this sort of thing. She's good at it."

Flender seemed to recall something and couldn't help shivering.

The Swift Growth Tiger was on the verge of death. Although it could continue healing itself, it had given up. Continuing to heal itself would only mean seeking more torment. To it now, death was instead a form of release.

Seeing that the Swift Growth Tiger had lost its will to live, Flender knew his goal had been achieved.

"Xiao Yu, do you want me to give it a few more punches? After all, it's a thousand-year Soul Beast with powerful vitality. Although it's on the verge of death now, if you want to kill it in one strike, it still might not be..."

Flender's eyes suddenly widened, and the unfinished words abruptly stopped.

Ye Yu clenched his right fist. The muscles in his right arm bulged as he delivered a fierce punch straight at the Swift Growth Tiger!

Bang!!

"Awoooo!!!"

Amid its shrill, miserable howl, the Swift Growth Tiger flew a hundred meters away, smashing through seven or eight large trees along the way.

Flender questioned his entire life. "How is this an Artifact Soul Master of the Support System?"
