Lu Feng pressed his advantage and took several quick steps forward.

"Take another one of your daddy's moves: Heaven Tyrant Sky-Cleaving Blast!"

Yellow Big struggled to prop himself up. Looking at Lu Feng charging straight at him, his face darkened.

"I've hunted geese all my life, yet today I got my eyes pecked out by one."

"Second Soul Skill: Unbreakable Defense!"

Yellow Big's second soul ring lit up, and a layer of yellow light covered his entire body. The Soul Power around him immediately grew heavy. He looked like an immovable mountain.

Bang!

Lu Feng's fist collided head-on with the hammer Martial Soul. However, this time, he was the one sent flying.

Lu Feng rolled dozens of meters across the grass before finally being stopped by a patch of thorns, which cut several gashes across his face.

"Bleurgh!"

Clutching his stomach, Lu Feng vomited violently. Even the dried Soft Bone Rabbit meat he had eaten for lunch came back up.

Only then did his expression finally return to normal.

"Hmph, just a two-ring Soul Master, yet you don't know your own limits." Yellow Big sneered at Lu Feng's miserable appearance.

However, before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt an explosion of Soul Power erupt inside his body. Intense pain surged from his chest.

Pfft!

Yellow Big spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed straight to the ground.

His face turned deathly pale, and large beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead. He could barely even maintain his Martial Soul.

"How is this possible?! My second Soul Skill increases my physical defense by fifty percent. How could a two-ring Soul Master possibly break through my defenses?"

Yellow Big tried desperately to push himself up, but after struggling several times, he still could not get to his feet.

"Holy shit, Brother Tang Er is this fierce?!" Man Sandao widened his eyes in disbelief.

Just now, Lu Feng and Yellow Big had been tangled together in almost close-quarters combat. Neither he nor Ya Li had any chance to intervene and could only watch helplessly.

Who would have thought that Lu Feng, with only two rings, could actually fight an advanced Soul Ancestor to a standstill!

Judging by that crooked smirk of his earlier, he clearly had not taken Yellow Big seriously at all!

"Brother Tang Er."

A trace of worry flashed through Aixie's eyes as she watched the strange state of "Tang Er."

When she had heard Tang Er's crude language earlier, she thought that his true nature had been exposed after using his second Soul Skill on himself.

Only now did Aixie finally realize that something was wrong with "Tang Er."

When she had killed someone for the first time, she had experienced something similar. Her mind had nearly collapsed, and it had lasted for an entire week.

Bang! Yellow Big sent Man Sandao, who had been preparing to launch a sneak attack, flying with a single hammer blow.

Looking at Lu Feng as he drew closer, Yellow Big's eyes were filled with icy killing intent.

It was this utterly ordinary Support Spirit Master who had shattered the invincible golden body of the Yellow Family Three Freaks with one punch. The key was that this dark-skinned brat only had two rings.

Yellow Big rubbed his chest, then could not help coughing up another mouthful of blood.

"What a bizarre Soul Skill!"

Yellow Big glanced at Gulas, who was absorbing the soul ring, and said viciously, "Damn it, even if I die today, I'm taking a few of you down with me!"

With that, Yellow Big's fourth soul ring lit up. His body arched backward like a drawn bow. Then, using the strength of his waist and back to drive his arms, he brought his great hammer crashing down onto the ground amid the radiance of his fourth soul ring.

Aixie's expression changed drastically. She hurriedly shouted, "Everyone, fall back! Now!"

With a thunderous boom, a powerful shockwave suddenly burst outward from Yellow Big's body, engulfing a vast area around him.

The ground instantly collapsed under the tremendous force. Dirt and rocks shot into the sky. Within a thirty-meter radius, sand and stones filled the air as a terrifying blast of force surged upward.

Yellow Big's move was an indiscriminate area attack. Every member of the team, including Yellow Two, was caught within the flying debris.

Yellow Two, however, was more experienced and had already leaped into a tree.

"Not good! Gulas!"

Aixie cried out and immediately leaped forward, placing herself in front of Gulas.

"Boss, watch out!"

Seeing this, Man Sandao rushed behind Aixie and wrapped his arms tightly around her.

Bang!

A large rock, carried by the violent wind, slammed directly into Man Sandao's back.

"Urgh!"

Man Sandao suddenly tasted blood in his throat, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Clang!

Ya Li reacted quickly and blocked Yellow Two's attempted sneak attack with a slash.

"What the hell! Boss, Man Sandao, what are you two doing pressed up against me?!"

At that moment, Gulas finally finished absorbing the soul ring.

Seeing the two people tightly embracing in front of him, his eyes widened.

"That kid Man Sandao is risking his life."

The next moment, Gulas looked at the devastated grassland and instantly understood what had happened.

"Third Soul Skill: Steel Compound!"

"Second Soul Skill: Drunken Frenzy!"

Gulas lifted his wine barrel and took a gulp. A faint white aura of Soul Power appeared around him, and his body instantly grew a size larger.

Gulas's second Soul Skill had originally enhanced his defense. Now, with the boost from his third Soul Skill, his already protruding belly seemed to gain another layer of fat, even bursting his shirt apart.

"You dared touch my boss? Die!"

Swinging his wine barrel, Gulas smashed it directly toward Yellow Big.

Yellow Big raised his iron hammer in response. His first soul ring flashed as he swung it down toward Gulas's head.

Gulas neither dodged nor blocked, allowing the iron hammer to strike his body.

Bang!

Gulas's wine barrel exploded against Yellow Big's head. The violent shockwave blasted outward, sending Yellow Big flying before he crashed hard to the ground. He struggled several times but could not get back up.

"Damn it, this fat bastard is tough!"

Seeing the Soul Power barrier around Gulas and his thick layer of fat, panic flashed through Yellow Big's eyes.

"This fat bastard took my first Soul Skill head-on, then got hit by the explosion of his own Soul Skill, yet he wasn't hurt at all."

"Could it be that the Yellow Family Three Freaks are all going to perish here today?"

Yellow Big looked around, but after searching for a long time, he could not find Yellow Two anywhere.

"Yellow Two! Fuck your grandmother!"

Eradicate Evil Completely

Yellow Big ultimately fell unwillingly.

He died in an extremely frustrating manner.

Gulas clung to him relentlessly. Even after Yellow Big exhausted all his Soul Power, he still could not break through Gulas's defenses. In the end, Man Sandao chopped off his head with a single slash.

"Boss, brothers, we really have you to thank for this!" Gulas said solemnly and sincerely.

After hearing Man Sandao describe what had happened, he felt a lingering chill in his heart.

Aixie pondered for a moment before saying, "We owe this victory to Brother Tang Er. If he hadn't killed Yellow Three and severely wounded Yellow Big, our entire team might have been wiped out."

"The boss is right!"

Gulas agreed, "Yellow Big's Martial Soul was balanced between offense and defense, the same path I follow. I had no way to deal with him at all."

Rubbing his slightly weak arms, he said with lingering fear, "Don't be fooled by how imposing I looked while taking Yellow Big's attacks alone. In truth, I was only holding on because of my anger."

Lu Feng nodded. This was indeed a weakness of balanced-type Soul Masters.

When two balanced-type Soul Masters fought, the one with lower Soul Power had almost no chance of winning, especially when there was an entire major realm between them.

Still, Lu Feng praised Gulas. "Brother Gulas is too modest. Your third and second Soul Skills work well together, and your defense is no joke. Even a Soul Ancestor would need to spend quite some effort breaking through it."

As he spoke, Lu Feng discreetly glanced at Aixie. This top student from Blue Tyrant Academy truly knew her theory of soul beasts.

With the enhancement of the third Soul Skill, the defensive effect of Gulas's second Soul Skill had directly doubled.

It was practically a stroke of genius.

"Hahaha, of course." Hearing that, Gulas scratched his head sheepishly and laughed heartily.

Man Sandao added, "Brother Tang Er, if your Soul Skill weren't for support, I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death. You're actually a Support Spirit Master."

During the initial battle, Man Sandao had been facing Yellow Big head-on the entire time.

The opponent was a strength-type Soul Master and a Soul Ancestor. With every collision, Man Sandao had to grit his teeth and endure it with his body.

Man Sandao felt like he had been on the verge of collapse the entire time. Perhaps after being sent flying one more time, he would never have been able to stand again.

Even so, he could not inflict any damage on Yellow Big.

"Tang Er," on the other hand, had made Yellow Big cough up blood with just a few punches.

Moreover, after that, Yellow Big had to pause briefly to regulate his breathing after every attack.

It was obvious that Tang Er's attacks had injured Yellow Big's internal organs. That was the true reason the team had ultimately won.

"I only took advantage of an opening. It was all thanks to you brothers wearing down Yellow Big's Soul Power first." Lu Feng waved his hand casually.

He was about to say something else when he suddenly felt his stomach churn.

"Bleurgh!"

Leaning against a large tree, Lu Feng dry-heaved.

Everything in his stomach had long since been vomited out, but whenever he thought about the battle just now, he still felt nauseated.

"Brother Tang Er, are you all right?"

Aixie walked over to Lu Feng and gently patted his back.

"Since you chose to become a Soul Master, you were bound to experience this someday. Fortunately, we were the ones who survived in the end." Aixie comforted him gently.

Looking at Tang Er, she seemed to see her former self.

Back then, she had also been kind-hearted like Tang Er and full of longing for the world of Soul Masters.

After graduating, Aixie had traveled with several classmates to make their way in the world of Soul Masters.

During one Soul Hunting Operation, the team discovered a treasure trove. However, an internal conflict broke out because they could not divide the spoils fairly.

That was the first time she had killed someone.

The scar on her face had also come from that incident.

"Thank you, boss. Don't worry, I'm fine now."

Lu Feng took out a waterskin from his bag and gulped down a mouthful. At last, the nausea in his stomach faded away.

His mind felt exceptionally clear now, and even his vision seemed to have improved considerably.

Lu Feng turned to look at Aixie. Even though night had already fallen, the freckles on her face were still clearly visible.

The second stage of Purple Demon Eye: Minute Perception.

Lu Feng rejoiced inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged.

After obtaining this cultivation method, Lu Feng had barely practiced it, since he also had to avoid Tang San.

He could explain secretly learning other Tang Sect techniques—Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Mysterious Jade Hand, and Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon—by claiming he had picked them up through sparring.

But Purple Demon Eye...
