Body Soul King
Bai Yushan seized the opportunity to grab her by the back of her collar and swung her forward violently. Her 200-pound body slammed into the charging bear like a cannonball.
The burly man couldn't stop in time, and the two collided and rolled several meters away. Before they could get up, Bai Yushan had already closed in, throwing out both fists at the same time. His left fist was fierce and domineering in the tiger shape, while his right fist was heavy and solid in the bear shape, landing on the chests of the two men respectively.
Two crisp "crack" sounds rang out almost simultaneously, and the two figures froze for a moment before turning into light fragments and dissipating.
Bai Yushan stretched his shoulders; the four-times-gravity restraints were still on him, making it as easy as slicing through melons and vegetables to defeat two ordinary Soul Ancestor. Just as he was about to complain about how easy it was, he suddenly heard the sound of three black lights falling from above.
This time, three figures appeared simultaneously. Standing at the front was a Defense System Soul Ancestor wielding a heavy shield, a tortoise-type Martial Soul, his entire body covered in thick stone armor; to his left was a Control System Soul Ancestor wielding a long vine, a plant-type Martial Soul, the vines hanging from his fingertips gleaming with a ghostly green light; to his right was an Agility Attack System, a leopard-type Martial Soul, his body arched, his muscles containing explosive speed.
The three stood in a triangular formation, their Soul Ring lighting up simultaneously, clearly demonstrating excellent teamwork.
"This is getting interesting." Bai Yushan grinned, the nonchalance in his eyes fading slightly, and he finally became more serious.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Control System Soul Ancestor made the first move. His Second Soul Ring lit up, and dozens of thick vines suddenly sprang up from the ground, coiling around Bai Yushan's limbs like venomous snakes. At the same time, the Defense System Soul Ancestor charged forward with a heavy stone shield, its surface covered in sharp spikes, clearly intending to kill him at close range; while the Agility Attack System circled around to the side, his leopard claws gleaming coldly, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
A pincer attack from three sides, leaving no room for maneuver.
Bai Yushan let out a low shout, and his First Soul Skill, Electromagnetic Clarity, was activated instantly.
An invisible electromagnetic wave swept over him, and everything within a 20-meter radius was clearly imprinted in his mind—the trajectory of the twisting vines, the speed of the stone shield's advance, the tension of the Leopard Soul Ancestor's muscles, and even the subtle details of the flow of the three people's Soul Power. Everything was clear and there was nothing to hide.
Anticipation is already within our capabilities.
He unleashed his Wave-Skimming Mist-Treading Steps, he narrowly slipped through the gap between two vines. The stone shield followed closely behind, crashing into the ground and creating a large crater, sending shards of rock flying.
Bai Yushan lightly touched the shield with his toes, using the momentum to leap into the air and avoid the leopard's claws sweeping from the side.
While in mid-air, he quickly formed hand seals, and thunderclouds instantly gathered above his head.
Thunder Pressure Raging Waves!
Faced with the weak, Bai Yushan didn't even bother to chant incantations; three deep purple lightning bolts struck precisely in three directions.
The Defense System Soul Ancestor hurriedly raised his shield to block, but a crackling sound of electricity rang out, and his whole body went numb; he almost dropped his stone shield. The Control System vines were struck by lightning and instantly charred and broke. The Agility Attack System Leopard Soul Ancestor was forced to retreat and dodge, and the encirclement instantly broke through a gap.
The moment Bai Yushan landed, he charged towards the Control System Soul Ancestor. His consistent tactic was to capture the leader first and to quickly control the enemy in a group fight.
The Control System Soul Ancestor's face turned pale. He hurriedly activated his First Soul Skill, and more than a dozen vines surged out from the ground to block in front of him.
But Bai Yushan didn't flinch at all. His right hand formed a claw, and his fingertips were covered with a thin layer of Lightning Armor.
Mountain-Howling Rock-Crushing Claw!
"Tear--"
The tough vines were torn apart like paper. Bai Yushan broke through the vine barrier and was in front of his opponent in an instant. Just as his opponent was about to call for help, a hand grabbed his throat and lifted him off the ground.
"Too slow." Bai Yushan said calmly, his fingertips applying slight pressure.
With a soft click, the Control System Soul Ancestor turned into light dust and vanished.
With the control position taken care of, the remaining two became even simpler. Bai Yushan turned around and bumped right into the defensive Soul Ancestor and the agile attack Soul Ancestor were charging towards him. He neither dodged nor avoided, but charged towards the stone shield. To the astonishment of the opponents, he placed his left hand on the shield, and high-temperature lightning Lightning Refinement Shaping instantly surged out.
"Zzz--"
The thick stone shield melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into scalding hot molten stone.
The Soul Ancestor Master hurriedly released his grip and retreated, but it was too late.
Bai Yushan unleashed a punch through the melting shield, the force of the Mountain-Cleaving Wall-Crumbling Palm penetrating through the opponent's body. The opponent was sent flying backward, crashing into the invisible boundary of space and dissipating into specks of light.
The last remaining Agility Attack System Leopard Soul Ancestor couldn't even last three rounds. Bai Yushan used only one move Ape Form: Cliff-Turning Yin-Yang Rotation, to circle behind him and deliver a clean and decisive chop to his neck, ending the battle swiftly.
The three streaks of light dissipated, and the pure white space returned to silence.
Bai Yushan took a breath, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. Fighting three opponents alone, especially against a well-coordinated Soul Ancestor team, was no easy feat even for him. Yet, the excitement in his eyes grew stronger, every cell in his body clamoring for an even stronger opponent.
Outside, in front of the control panel in the underground training ground.
Leng Yaozhu watched the live broadcast of the battle on the screen, a hint of approval flashed in her crimson-gold eyes.
The screen displayed a dense array of data: Bai Yushan's Soul Power consumption, physical strain, precision of his moves, and reaction speed—each of these far exceeded the limits of a two-ring Soul Master, and even surpassed many Five-Ring Soul King.
"A monstrous fighting instinct, with meticulous control over his body down to every single muscle..."
Leng Yaozhu muttered to herself, her finger pausing briefly on the "Body Martial Soul King" option before clicking it. "Perfect, let's see where your limits are."
Inside the virtual space, Bai Yushan was waiting for the next wave of enemies when he suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of oppression, far heavier than before.
A beam of black light descended, solidifying into a shirtless man. He did not transform into a beast, nor did he possess any weapons; he simply stood there empty-handed, his muscles sculpted like marble, and five Soul Ring —two yellow, two purple, and one black—slowly rose and fell beneath his feet, their Soul Power fluctuations as heavy as a mountain.
Soul King, Body Martial Soul, Silver Awakening.
The man made no extra movements, only raising his eyes to look at Bai Yushan. His gaze was calm, yet it carried a fierce intensity born of years of battle.
The next second, he stomped his foot and charged forward like a cannonball, without any fancy moves, just a simple punch straight to the chest.
But this punch was fast, accurate, and ruthless, sealing off all angles of evasion, and the force of the punch made the air explode.
Bai Yushan's expression changed slightly. He activated his Electromagnetic Clarity to its maximum, only to find that his opponent's moves were simple and unadorned, with no flaws whatsoever. He gritted his teeth and met the attack with a punch of his own, unleashing his tiger-shaped power to its peak.
"Bang!!"
The two fists collided, creating a shockwave.
Bai Yushan felt an overwhelming force surge through him, his entire arm went numb, and he involuntarily staggered back five or six steps, each step leaving a deep footprint in the ground.
On the other hand, the Body Soul King only took half a step back before standing firmly, his eyes showing no fluctuation. Then, he shifted his stance and charged forward again.
His pure physical strength was actually stronger than his body, which was enhanced by 250,000 volts of electricity!
"Good!!"
Bai Yushan, far from being afraid, burst into wild laughter, his eyes revealing a wild and eccentric side. "Now that's more interesting!"
He held nothing back, unleashing his full power of lightning. Lightning Escape: Lightning Armor instantly covered his entire body, crackling with purple-blue arcs of electricity, making him appear like a thunder god descending to earth. He activated Lightning Flash Step, transforming into a streak of purple lightning as he charged forward.
Fists, palms, claws, legs, elbows, knees... every part of his body became a weapon.
He could switch between the Five Beast Way techniques with ease, effortlessly employing the tiger's strength, the bear's thickness, the deer's skill, the ape's agility, and the crane's sharpness—five distinct forces that were sometimes fierce and explosive, and sometimes cunning and ruthless.
