I'll Probably Forget You Tomorrow

"Bang!"

A muffled explosion rang out, and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string. The fur on its chest was instantly charred black, and its flesh was torn open, revealing the stark white ribs underneath. It crashed heavily to the ground, sliding more than ten meters away, knocking down several trees along the way and sending dust billowing into the air.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear struggled to get up, but after only half of its body was propped up, it suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, its chest heaving violently, and even its breath smelled burnt.

The gap is too big.

It was so large that it couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance.

But it is Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, the overlord of this forest.

Even if I die, I'll die standing up!

It growled, using its remaining right arm to push itself up. Its dark golden eyes were bloodshot as it stared intently at the boy not far away, a threatening growl emanating from its throat. It knew it couldn't win, but it didn't want to lose too badly.

Bai Yushan strolled over slowly, his footsteps making soft crackling sounds on the ground. He looked at the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which was covered in wounds but still stood, and the smile on his face faded, replaced by a hint of amusement.

"Pretty tough."

No sooner had the words left its mouth than the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear pounced again. Knowing it couldn't keep up, it abandoned all defense, determined to leave a mark on its opponent even if it meant taking a beating.

Its sole claw gleamed with a cold, dark golden light, its target aimed directly at Bai Yushan's head—a suicidal attack.

Bai Yushan shook his head.

With a swift movement, he activated Lightning Flash Step, leaving only a blur in his wake. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear missed its target with its claws, and before it could react, a tremendous force struck the back of its neck.

Bai Yushan kicked it in the back of the neck, sending its massive body crashing forward, its face slamming into the ground and creating a large crater, with dirt and gravel flying all over its face.

Before it could even lift its head, another weight was placed on its back.

Bai Yushan stepped on its back, his feet exerting slight force, and lightning continuously flowed into its body from the soles of his feet.

"Ugh... Ouch..."

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear let out a painful growl, its limbs twitching uncontrollably as it tried to throw the person off its back, but no matter how hard it struggled, it was to no avail. The high-voltage current continued to damage its muscles and meridians, its strength gradually fading until it could barely hold on with its claws.

"I've had enough fun."

Bai Yushan said something casually and jumped off the bear's back.

He took two steps forward and stood to the side of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear struggled to raise its head, looking at the boy before it. Its eyes held no hatred, only a calm acceptance of impending doom. It knew the final moment had arrived.

Bai Yushan slowly raised his hands to his sides, palms facing each other. Two thick purple arcs of electricity converged and compressed between his palms, emitting a piercing buzzing sound. The surrounding air was distorted by this force, and the pebbles on the ground were slightly suspended before being blasted into powder by the electric arcs.

Purple Lightning Fierce Slash!

He swung his hands violently, and two intersecting purple arcs of electricity instantly formed, like two giant lightning blades, carrying an aura of destruction, slashing towards the waist of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

With its last ounce of strength, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear raised its Dark Gold Dreadclaw to shield itself.

"Sizzle--!"

After a crisp sound, the dark gold claw blade snapped in two, sliced in two by the electric arc as easily as cutting tofu. The crossed lightning blades continued their momentum, striking the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear squarely in the waist and abdomen.

There were no screams, no roars.

The massive body froze for a moment, then slowly parted in the middle.

Blood gushed out, entrails mixed with blood splattered all over the ground, the smell of burnt flesh and blood mingling together, filling the air. The upper body of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear remained in the raised claw position, the last glimmer of light in its eyes slowly fading.

The two bear bodies fell heavily to the ground, quickly transforming into an incredibly dense aura of thousand-year-old Spirit Power, larger than the combined aura of the previous eight Thousand-Year Soul Beast, its shimmering white light almost solidifying.

Bai Yushan chuckled, "How delightful! Little Bear, I'll probably forget about you by tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and summoned the nearly solidified aura of thousand-year-old Spirit Power, which immediately floated over and entered his body through his palm.

boom--

The moment the Spirit Power entered the body, the barrier within the body that was stuck at 199,999 volts shattered with a deafening roar!

The 200,000-volt threshold is broken!

The Bioelectricity deep within the cells surged wildly, like a thunderous beast breaking free of its shackles, rampaging through every limb and bone. Every muscle, every bone, every nerve vibrated and strengthened under the high-voltage current, emitting fine crackling sounds. An unprecedented sense of power filled the entire body, even breathing carried an explosive, numbing sensation.

The surge in power was too sudden, and even Bai Yushan couldn't fully control it immediately.

"Sizzle--!!"

Blinding blue-purple arcs of electricity erupted uncontrollably from his body, sweeping wildly in all directions from him.

The ground was instantly scorched and cracked, and the trees within a dozen meters were the first to be affected. The thick trunks were struck by the electric arc and exploded into a shower of wood chips. Even the ashes were evaporated by the high temperature.

The rocks melted into a glassy liquid, the soil was blasted into countless pits, and the woodland within a radius of tens of meters was completely leveled in a few breaths, turning into a scorched minefield.

Violent electric currents coursed and leaped across the ground, creating a continuous series of explosions, filling the air with a strong smell of ozone and burning.

Bai Yushan stood in the very center of the thunder, his black hair dancing wildly, his body Entanglement in arcs of electricity as thick as buckets, and his pupils surging with blinding electric light. At this moment, he no longer resembled a handsome young man at all; he was clearly a god who had emerged from the Lightning Tribulation, every move he made carrying the pressure of destroying everything.

It took more than ten breaths before the raging electric current was gradually suppressed back into his body.

The ground was completely unrecognizable; the original forest had become a huge, charred disc, and even the bloodstains left by the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had been evaporated completely.

Bai Yushan flexed his fingers, feeling the steady 210,000 volts of Electric Current Push through his body, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

Once the 200,000 volt mark is crossed, the increase in voltage is indeed noticeable.

Not only have his strength, speed, and recovery ability all increased dramatically, but even his cellular carrying capacity has taken a big leap forward. At this rate, it won't be long before he can Impact 300,000 volts.

Just then, his gaze paused and fell on the ground not far away.

In the scorched earth, a point of dark golden light lay quietly, flickering and emitting faint fluctuations of Soul Power.

Bai Yushan raised an eyebrow and strode over.

He smiled as soon as I got close.

Soul Bone.

Moreover, it is an extremely rare External Soul Bone —the right claw Soul Bone of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

The palm-sized, dark gold claw blade gleamed with a cold metallic light, its fine lines and sharp edges exuding a ferocious aura capable of tearing through metal and shattering stone, even when lying still.

In this era, land-based Soul Beast are on the verge of extinction, and Soul Bone are already scarce. A single Thousand-Year Soul Bone can cause major powers to fight tooth and nail for it.

External Soul Bone are even more precious among Soul Bone, with strong growth potential and huge amplification. Any one of them would cause a frenzy of fighting among the entire Soul Master World.

If it were any other Soul Master, they would probably be trembling with excitement by now.

Bai Yushan simply squatted down, poked the dark gold claw blade with his fingertip, and showed no surprise on his face, but rather seemed thoughtful.

Something's not right.

The Spirit Pagoda claims that the Spirit Ascension Platform is a spiritual projection and an illusory training ground, and that all Soul Beast are formed from condensed energy.

But if it's truly an illusion, where would such a massive amount of energy come from to support thousands upon thousands of Soul Beast repeatedly reorganizing?

Not to mention that even Soul Bone are now being dropped.

Soul Bone formed from condensed energy?

It might fool a layman.

Bai Yushan knew perfectly well that this Spirit Ascension Platform was definitely not simple.

The Spirit Pagoda most likely uses some special spatial or Soul Skill to replicate and recreate long-extinct Soul Beast in this world, and even things like Soul Bone can actually drop.

But then he narrowed his eyes again.

If the Spirit Ascension Platform were truly under the complete control of the Spirit Pagoda, the Spirit Pagoda would have already dominated the continent by producing Soul Bone and cultivating powerful individuals through it. Why would it still be struggling to compete with Shrek Academy and the War God Temple?

The answer is obvious—this world is not entirely controlled by the Spirit Pagoda.

However, after thinking about it for only two seconds, Bai Yushan put those thoughts out of his mind.

What's the point of thinking so much?

In the end, he was just a level 21, Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster. Even if he could fight against ordinary Soul King with his Electric Current Push, he was still not good enough on the entire continent.

Any Soul Emperor or Soul Saint could easily crush him.

If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up; the secrets of the Spirit Pagoda are none of his business as a second-ring Soul Master.

He reached out and picked up the dark gold External Soul Bone the right Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. It was cold to the touch, heavy, and harder than refined steel.

nice one.

But that's about it.

A faint arc of electricity emanated from Bai Yushan's fingertips as he slowly infused Bioelectricity into the Soul Bone.

The high-voltage current traveled along the patterns on the Soul Bone, gradually washing away and refining the Soul Power imprint within. Unlike ordinary Soul Master who absorbed and fused the Soul Bone into their bodies, he treated it as if it were a piece of ordinary metal.

In his view, his physical body was the most perfect creation, every inch of muscle and every bone had been tempered by electric current to the extreme, and he believed that rashly absorbing the Soul Bone would break this perfection and disrupt his own Bioelectricity cycle.

It's not worth the risk.

The greatest use of this External Soul Bone for him is that its material is hard and sharp enough to perfectly complement his Second Soul Skill, Lightning Refinement Shaping. It is usually stored within his body, and when needed, it can be directly melted and shaped, making it much stronger than a weapon formed from thin air using lightning.

As the current continued to flow, the dark golden claw blade gradually became translucent, eventually transforming into a stream of dark golden light that burrowed into the right arm along the fingertip, quietly attaching itself to the outer side of the right hand bone. It did not merge with the meridians or Soul Power in the slightest, just like a spare material carried with you.

Done.

Bai Yushan shook his right hand, feeling no foreign object, and nodded in satisfaction.

I've done everything I needed to at the Spirit Ascension Platform, collected everything I wanted, and amassed a fortune in Spirit Power. I even picked up a decent piece of material along the way. Further in, there wasn't much of interest in the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform.

He touched the vine pouch at his waist, took out the emergency signal device inside, and pressed it lightly with his fingertip.

drop--

A crisp notification sound rang out.

The next second, a soft white light rose from beneath my feet, enveloping my entire body. The feeling of weightlessness flashed by, and the scorched forest before my eyes quickly blurred and disappeared.

The Spirit Pagoda of Eastsea City, the control room of the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Rows of metal cabins stood neatly arranged, their doors shimmering with a faint glow. At the very center of the control panel, Leng Yaozhu frowned slightly, staring at the light screen before her.

On the light screen, all of Bai Yushan's scenes in the Spirit Ascension Platform were recorded.

He subdued thirty Three-Ring Soul Elder, instigated a war between humans and beasts by using tigers to devour wolves, reaped the benefits of others' efforts by annihilating three ancient clans, and finally single-handedly killed a one-armed Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, even obtaining an External Soul Bone...

Every scene left this well-traveled Heavenly Phoenix Douluo somewhat dazed.

Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster.

Even though she could tell at a glance that the boy's physical strength and reaction speed far surpassed those of others of the same level, and were even more exaggerated than those of ordinary Soul King, his battle record was still too outrageous.

Let alone a second-ring Soul King, even Five-Ring Soul King couldn't possibly do better than him.

Especially that almost ruthless scheming and the madness in his bones, using thirty Soul Elder as pawns, treating the entire battle as a show, and the domineering way he swept away everything in the end... it's not like someone his age should be like.

Leng Yaozhu tapped the control panel lightly with her fingertips, her red lips slightly pursed.

When did such a remarkable person emerge from Eastsea City?

The details are unclear, and the Martial Soul is also very strange. It is said to be of the lightning type, but its methods are completely different from those of a conventional lightning-type Soul Master.

And then there's that last External Soul Bone... The appearance of External Soul Bone in the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform is extremely rare, even in the records of the Spirit Pagoda.

Just then, the metal cabin at the very front emitted a soft "ding" sound, and the hatch slowly popped open.

Leng Yaozhu looked up.

The next second, a tall figure sat up from the metal cabin.

The boy had just emerged from the Spirit Ascension Platform, his pale skin still bearing the faint afterglow of the electric shock. His black hair was slightly disheveled, and his collar was loose, revealing his sharp collarbone. He squinted slightly, as if he had just woken up, with a hint of nonchalance and languor, but the madness hidden deep in his eyes could not escape Leng Yaozhu's notice.

Standing at 1.8 meters tall, with a handsome and outstanding appearance, and an untamed spirit about him, anyone who saw him would think he was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old genius, and would never guess that he was actually only nine years old.

Bai Yushan sat up, stretched his neck, and looked up to meet a pair of bright and captivating eyes.

The first thing you see is an extremely charming face, with a complexion as white as jade, eyes as fiery as fire, both beautiful and dignified, radiating a vibrant, sun-like energy. Her figure is graceful and tall, and even the long dress in the Spirit Pagoda cannot conceal her exquisite curves. Standing there, she is like a bright flame, so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off her.

It was Leng Yaozhu.

Bai Yushan raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and simply sat in the metal cabin, openly observing the woman in front of him.

He could sense that this woman was very strong.

Extremely strong.

He was far stronger than anyone he had ever seen; the Soul Power within his body was condensed like a vast, unfathomable ocean.

Is this Titled Douluo like?

Leng Yaozhu was also watching him.

Their eyes met.

The boy's eyes were clear yet wild, with a touch of nonchalant playfulness, devoid of reverence or restraint, as if he were looking at an ordinary object.

This Leng Yaozhu. Most young people would be respectful and nervous around her.

This kid is something else.

"May I have your name?"

Leng Yaozhu spoke first, her voice clear and crisp, carrying a hint of the composure of someone in a superior position.

Bai Yushan stood up from the metal cabin, brushed off imaginary dust, and casually announced his name: "Bai Yushan."
