Chapter 9: First Soul Skill, Condensed Shadow

Looking at Ye Xixuan's youthful face, Bei Bei had originally been reluctant to fight. After all, winning would bring him no honor, while losing would be even more humiliating.

But Xuan Zi and Ye Xixuan's words had backed him into a corner, leaving him no room to refuse. Besides, Sister Lexuan was here, and he certainly did not want to shrink back in front of her.

Bei Bei faced Ye Xixuan from a distance and said solemnly, "Bei Bei, level twenty-three Power Attack System Battle Soul Grandmaster. Please give me your guidance!"

"Ye Xixuan, level twelve Power Attack System Battle Soul Master. Please give me your guidance!" Ye Xixuan's Mind Demon Shadow martial soul had virtually no weaknesses. In fact, it could be called exceptionally versatile, especially now that he had acquired his first soul skill. Still, since the purpose of soul fighting was to defeat an opponent, he could indeed be considered a Power Attack System Battle Soul Master.

As for his increased soul power level, that naturally came from the soul ring of the thousand-year dark element soul beast.

Soul Masters with ultimate attribute martial souls possessed soul power of a quality far beyond that of ordinary Soul Masters. It would compress and refine itself during cultivation. That was why, despite absorbing a thousand-year first soul ring, Ye Xixuan's soul power level had only risen to twelve.

More precisely, his soul power had probably increased by two and a half levels.

"Begin right here. Xuan Zi and I will watch over you." Mu En finally spoke, watching Ye Xixuan and Bei Bei walk into the center of the clearing and put nearly ten meters between them.

Since both were Power Attack System Battle Soul Masters, their battle would surely be a head-on clash, with absolute strength used to overwhelm the opponent. The distance between them would not affect the fairness of the fight.

Xuan Zi cheerfully lifted his wine gourd and took a swig, then promptly assumed the role of referee and gave the command: "Begin!"

Bei Bei's gaze sharpened. He took the initiative to summon his martial soul, and his entire presence changed abruptly.

A dazzling ball of blue light lit up between his brows. The blue radiance immediately spread, flowing down from his forehead throughout his body. Blue-violet lightning crackled, streaks of electricity darting around him like little snakes.

Although it was a beast martial soul, martial soul possession caused no changes to his body apart from the lightning-shaped mark that appeared on his forehead.

This was what made the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul special. Only after its Soul Masters reached the Soul Elder rank and acquired their third soul ring would their bodies begin transforming toward the form of their martial soul. It was a true transformation into a dragon, more powerful than that of any other beast martial soul.

Bei Bei was currently only a two-ring Soul Grandmaster and had yet to master dragon transformation, but the might of the top-tier Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon beast martial soul was already unmistakable. His bearing became fierce and aggressive, and his eyes, alive with dancing lightning, radiated an intimidating aura.

"A thousand-year soul ring?!"

But the moment Bei Bei saw the glaring purple soul ring rising from beneath Ye Xixuan's feet, his body froze. A thousand-year first soul ring-this completely defied everything he knew.

The instant their eyes met, Ye Xixuan suddenly appeared right before him, his fair cheeks covered in sinister, eerily beautiful black demon markings. A string of pitch-black afterimages trailed behind him. His speed surpassed even that of an Agility Attack System Battle Spirit Master at Bei Bei's level.

Magnificent purple light blossomed, and two ink-black daggers abruptly condensed in Ye Xixuan's hands, crossed before his chest. Though called daggers, they looked more like extremely short broadswords, their wide blades making them all the more lethal.

His legs bent and straightened, and he lunged explosively, swinging both short broadswords. A deep, obsidian-like gleam flowed along their edges, enough to make one's hair stand on end.

The black sword light grew in Bei Bei's eyes, and the usually gentle, cultured young man could not help blurting out a curse.

"Holy shit! With that speed, you're telling me he's a Power Attack System Battle Soul Master?!"

Zhang Lexuan, watching from the side, was equally surprised. What caught her attention most, however, was the aura of Ye Xixuan's martial soul. It seemed to possess an inexplicably astonishing affinity with her Silver Moon martial soul.

The moon was also known as the Supreme Yin. Its nature was inherently yin, corresponding to darkness.

Her martial soul could unleash its greatest power only at night.

;psme&;psme&

Zhang Lexuan now seemed to have some idea why Mu En had summoned her to the Sea God Pavilion.

Bei Bei arched his upper body backward, narrowly avoiding the horizontal slash of Ye Xixuan's twin short broadswords. A lock of hair drifted down through his field of vision. He immediately gave a low shout and counterattacked.

His first soul ring flashed. Amid intense surges of soul power, a blue-violet lightning dragon claw roughly a foot across shot toward Ye Xixuan like a bolt of electricity.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's first soul skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!

Ye Xixuan's response was even more unexpected. He released both short broadswords, sending them shooting toward Bei Bei. At the same time, a massive, heavy black shield condensed before him and blocked Bei Bei's Thunder Dragon Claw.

Crack- The violent lightning struck the huge shield, only to be swallowed by its dark aura like mud sinking into the sea. Only faint flashes of electricity could be seen flickering within it.

This was absolute suppression through martial soul attributes.

Bei Bei twisted in midair. The two short broadswords skimmed past him and buried themselves deep in the hard granite floor. Catching sight of this from the corner of his eye, he was inwardly startled again.

But Ye Xixuan gave him no time to think. Already bracing the massive dark shield before him, he charged with tremendous momentum;psme&;psme&

straight toward him.

He's a One-Ring Soul Master. Why does he feel even harder to deal with than that damned turtle? Thoroughly frustrated, Bei Bei finally stopped holding back. His second soul ring shone, and the countless serpentine arcs around his body swelled at once, turning into lightning arrows that flashed through the air and wove a net of thunder over Ye Xixuan.

Second soul skill, Thunderous Might.

Combat experience might need to be accumulated through battle after battle, but some geniuses were born with astonishing combat instincts.

Ye Xixuan calmly halted and raised the Darkness Shield overhead, shielding his body.

The lightning arrows poured down in an instant, unleashing a deafening roar of exploding thunder.

There was, after all, a ten-level gap in their soul power, compounded by the formidable strength of the top-tier Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon beast martial soul. Although he blocked the vast majority of Bei Bei's attacks, a fine layer of lightning still appeared over his body.

The Darkness Shield dissolved into intangible black currents, while lightning pierced Ye Xixuan's shirt and tore it apart, exposing the sinister Demonic Markings covering his body.

His innate ability, Mind Demon Mark, effectively gave him an additional soul skill.

His first soul skill, Condensed Shadow, allowed him to materialize shadows that had form but no substance, condensing them into all manner of weapons for his use. Their hardness and sharpness far surpassed those of any rare metal in the world, as though they were made of some unmanifested substance that did not exist in this realm.

Combining this effect of Condensed Shadow with his innate Mind Demon Mark ability made Ye Xixuan's physical strength comparable to that of a humanoid killing machine.

Faced with the powerful attack of Bei Bei's second soul skill, Thunderous Might, he had suffered almost no injury.

Ye Xixuan silently watched Bei Bei and slowly raised his right hand. This time, what appeared in it was a Shadow Long Spear, scaled down proportionally to his height.

"Looks like that Bei Bei brat really is going to suffer a nasty setback this time." The surprise in Xuan Zi's eyes faded slightly, and his delight at Bei Bei's misfortune grew.

Charge, charge! If you enjoyed this, add it to your favorites and cast a recommendation vote.
