Slaughtering the Mountain Mist Apes
Something's not right!
Standing in the jungle, Bai Yushan immediately sensed something amiss. The soft soil beneath his feet, the tactile sensation of branches and leaves brushing against his skin, and the natural breeze flowing through the forest—all felt incredibly real, without a trace of the emptiness of virtual Soul Power.
Without the slightest hesitation, Bai Yushan instantly activated his First Soul Skill, Electromagnetic Clarity.
Subtle electromagnetic forces within his body surged wildly through his brain, while 70,000 volts of high-voltage Bioelectricity simultaneously flooded his consciousness. His narrow eyes instantly lit up with fine, eerie blue electric light, and every strand of his black hair stood on end. The next second, the entire world completely lost its original colors, transforming into a clear, grayish-white field of vision.
Countless lines of Soul Power crisscrossed the heavens and earth. Grass, trees, earth, and air all had their own unique energy channels. Even the Soul Beast that were constantly approaching from afar had vibrant and real life Soul Power flowing within them.
At this moment, Bai Yushan was completely certain that this space was not a so-called virtual illusion at all.
He stood there, raising an eyebrow slightly, quickly sorting out the key information in his mind. The Spirit Ascension Platform did not construct a virtual projection; this was an independent, miniature real space. And the body he was currently in this space was not a projection of his spiritual consciousness, but a complete image shell formed by his own will.
The avatar perfectly replicates all of his original abilities. Physical strength, Electric Current Push values, and Soul Skill effects are all consistent with the original. The sense of pressure, physical fatigue, and combat power amplification brought about by actual combat can all be fed back to the original body with 100%.
"That's interesting."
Bai Yushan clicked his tongue, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes, but he had no intention of delving into the secrets behind the Spirit Ascension Platform.
He has always known to act within his capabilities and will not touch secrets beyond his control. Even if he were to uncover the underlying principles of the Spirit Ascension Platform space, with his current strength, he would not gain any real benefit.
As his thoughts raced, he couldn't help but think of Na'er and Bi Ji.
He wanted to bring Na'er back as soon as possible and clear all enemies in his path, but his own strength was far from sufficient. Bi Ji's strength was above his, not to mention the behind-the-scenes force that forced Na'er to go to the Shrek Academy. Without enough power to crush everything, all his ideas were just empty talk.
If you want to break through the bottleneck of Electric Current Push and quickly improve your combat power, this real Spirit Ascension Platform space is the perfect training ground.
Deep, fierce roars echoed from afar, and the ground began to tremble slightly. A large number of Soul Beast were drawn by the spatial rules and converged towards the direction of Bai Yushan.
A fierce, manic fighting spirit instantly ignited in Bai Yushan's eyes. His previously carefree demeanor faded somewhat, and every cell in his body began to spontaneously accelerate its friction, preparing for the upcoming battle.
He usually fought against human Soul Master, and this was his first time facing a life-or-death battle with Soul Beast. Fighting against humans involved maneuvering and using techniques, while fighting against Soul Beast involved confronting their primal instincts—the two combat experiences were completely different.
Bai Yushan took the initiative, keeping his First Soul Skill, Electromagnetic Clarity, fully active at all times.
A clear, grayish-white field of vision enveloped the entire area, and all the flowing winds, drifting mists, and subtle fluctuations of Soul Power in the plants and trees were transformed into fine, clear lines that unfolded before my eyes.
The energy formed by the intertwining of airflow and Soul Power became the most direct benchmark in his eyes, making it impossible for any movement or disturbance around him to escape detection.
Without the slightest hesitation, Bai Yushan instantly locked onto a direction deep in the forest. A flash of blue lightning appeared beneath his feet, and his figure transformed into a blur without warning, rushing straight towards his target.
Deep within the dense fog, a complete group of Mountain Mist Ape was hunting in the forest. This area is shrouded in thick white fog year-round. The fog is so thick and sticky that ordinary Soul Master' visibility is reduced to less than three meters when they enter this place, and their Soul Power flow is also slightly affected by the fog.
The Mountain Mist Ape are naturally adapted to this kind of foggy environment. They rely on the fog patterns on their bodies to conceal their figures and launch surprise attacks in the dense fog of the forest. Their agile bodies and group attack tactics make them the most difficult Soul Beast group to provoke in this fog forest.
The group in front of them consisted of twenty-three Mountain Mist Ape, twenty-two of which were ordinary Mountain Mist Ape with a hundred years of cultivation. Each one was about 1.5 meters long, with short gray-blue fur that blended into the white mist. They gripped the tree trunks silently with their limbs, their eyes fierce, always watching the prey passing by in the forest.
At the very center of the tribe stood a thousand-year-old Mountain Mist Ape leader, far larger than its kind. It stood two meters tall, its body covered in thick, dark gray fur, the mist patterns on its skin shimmering with a faint white light, and the dense fog spreading around it far exceeded that of its ordinary kind, greatly enhancing the fog's effect on interfering with Soul Power. The ape pounded its chest, radiating intense territorial hostility, firmly controlling the entire tribe.
Covered by the dense fog, these Mountain Mist Ape have almost no natural enemies, and countless Soul Master who venture into the misty forest have perished in their silent sneak attacks.
However, this hidden mist attack, which countless Soul Master feared, was completely ineffective against Bai Yushan.
Electromagnetic force can penetrate all tangible fog. Even if thick fog obscures the naked eye, the position of each Mountain Mist Ape, its jumping trajectory, and the attack animation of its claws are all completely captured by electromagnetic perception.
From this moment on, the troop of apes hidden in the fog were completely trapped, with nowhere to escape.
Bai Yushan's eyes blazed with a frenzied fighting spirit, his black hair stood on end, and tiny sparks of electricity crackled along his strands as he charged alone into the heart of the ape horde.
The three hundred-year-old Mountain Mist Ape that reacted first simultaneously pounced down from the tree trunk, their sharp claws tearing through the mist, heading straight for Bai Yushan's three vital points: the top of his head, his chest, and his lower back, attacking from three sides and leaving him no room to dodge.
Bai Yushan's eyes were icy cold. Under his clear vision, the three attack trajectories were extremely slow. He moved his feet lightly, his body precisely dodging the three sharp claws. Without using his Soul Power, he relied solely on the Electric Current Push his tempered and refined physical body, and punched the ape's head directly in front of him.
A dull thud of bones breaking suddenly rang out. The first Mountain Mist Ape's head was smashed open by brute force, blood mixed with bone fragments splattering everywhere. Its body instantly lost its life and crashed straight to the ground.
At the same time, he Collision his elbow backward, precisely piercing the chest cavity of the ape behind him. An electric current instantly erupted from his fingertips, directly incinerating the ape's internal organs. He then swept his leg to the side, breaking the neck of the last ape and killing it instantly.
The triple kill was executed flawlessly, taking less than a second.
The remaining Mountain Mist Ape instantly let out sharp roars, stimulated by the smell of blood, and launched a frenzied attack. Countless ape claws swung wildly in the thick fog, their figures weaving back and forth among the trees, attempting to overwhelm Bai Yushan by relying on their numbers and the advantage of being hidden in the fog.
But all the sneak attacks, flanking maneuvers, and surprise attacks were pointless.
Bai Yushan was like a grim reaper walking in the fog, his afterimages constantly flashing, always one step ahead to dodge all attacks. His moves had no beauty; they were all deadly attacks aimed directly at vital points. His fists shattered heads, his feet broke torsos, and electric currents entered the body, directly destroying the nerves of Soul Beast.
Warm blood splattered onto the ground and vegetation, the pungent stench of blood quickly overpowering the forest mist. One after another, century-old Mountain Mist Ape fell to the ground, their corpses carpeting the entire forest clearing.
No Mountain Mist Ape could even touch the hem of Bai Yushan's robe. Their survival depended on speed and stealth, but these were no match for ultimate perception and speed.
In less than half a minute, all twenty-two century-old Mountain Mist Ape were slaughtered, with none surviving.
Only the last thousand-year-old Mountain Mist Ape leader remained in the forest.
Seeing the corpses of its kin scattered across the ground, the thousand-year-old ape head flew into a rage, roaring to the sky that shook the misty forest. The dense fog around it suddenly tripled in size, and its violent Soul Power stirred up a violent airflow, snapping the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees. It took a long stride, its massive body charging straight toward Bai Yushan, its thick ape claws carrying Soul Power as it struck, intending to crush the human youth who had slaughtered its kind in one blow.
