Can You Outrun Susanoo? Who Else Wants a Fight?! Your Venom Isn't Good Enough
"Soul Skill! Turtle Shell Body Protection!" Lin Mo shouted. The Rock Armor Turtle formed a thick protective shell in front of him.
Boom!
Susanoo cut through the shell with one sword strike, cleaving both Lin Mo and his Soul Beast in two.
Chen Yuan said, "Now, no one's going to interrupt my cooking, right?"
His hands moved swiftly as he drained the blood, plucked the feathers, cleaned the bird, and set it on the fire rack to roast. He rummaged through the room, found dozens of flatbreads, and put them in a bundle.
He also found a bottle to hold water and packed it.
Su Qingyue summoned her Martial Soul, the Wind-Tailed Sparrow.
Zhou Lie summoned his Martial Soul, the Crimson Flame Hound.
The two arrived at the battlefield at the same time, as if by tacit agreement. They kept wary of each other while staring at Susanoo, which rose above the rooftops.
"You two have already given yourselves away." Chen Yuan had spotted them, and the towering Susanoo immediately swung its sword down.
Startled, both leaped away defensively, narrowly dodging the blow.
"Soul Skill! Wind Feather Slash!" Su Qingyue attacked. Behind her, her Martial Soul, the Wind-Tailed Sparrow, gathered wind elements into feathers shimmering with white light and sent them at Susanoo.
"Soul Skill! Fire Wave Spit!" Zhou Lie's Crimson Flame Hound spat out a blast of searing flames.
Susanoo was hit by both attacks.
Zhou Lie and Su Qingyue were excited. "It hit! Great! I'm going to become a god!"
Su Qingyue flew into a rage. "I'm the only one becoming a god!"
"Me!" Zhou Lie argued.
"Hey, I'm still alive and well, and you two are already arguing over who gets to become a god?" Chen Yuan was speechless. He complained:
"Can you two be a little more professional?" Susanoo swung its arm, scattered the two attacks with a sword strike, then raised its sword and swept it across.
Su Qingyue screamed. She was struck, and the sword Qi pierced through her body.
Zhou Lie didn't dare linger. He took his Martial Soul and tried to flee.
"You think you can outrun Susanoo?" Chen Yuan mocked.
The enormous Susanoo leaped forward and cut off Zhou Lie's escape.
"Y-you're coming over." Looking up at the ten-meter-tall Susanoo, Zhou Lie went pale with fright.
Chen Yuan said, "Look at yourself. You're good for nothing, yet you came to hunt me down and want to become a god?"
"Did you ask your dad?"
"Did your dad agree to let you come?"
"What an idiot."
After giving him a thorough scolding, he controlled Susanoo to bring down a foot and stomp Zhou Lie to death.
He looked at the sky screen and shouted, "Who else?!"
"..." The Soul Masters and Soul Grandmasters of the Douluo Continent all felt humiliated. Blood rushed straight to their heads, and their eyes turned red.
"He's provoking us, a naked provocation!"
"If for no other reason than to teach him a lesson, I'm going too."
After that stunt, the people hunting him down not only failed to be frightened off, but grew in number instead.
Chrysanthemum Douluo said, "His second skill is called Susanoo."
"Mm." Everyone nodded.
Behind them were Soul Saints assigned specifically to record Chen Yuan's abilities.
Ghost Douluo said, "From what we've seen, most of those who have attacked are Soul Masters and Soul Grandmasters. It's normal that they're no match for him."
"No Soul Elder has shown up yet."
After killing the two, Chen Yuan returned to the dilapidated house and quietly waited for the roast chicken to finish cooking, watching the sky screen as he waited.
The downside was that others could find his location through the sky screen, which updated in real time.
The upside was that he could also use the sky screen to spot people nearby.
"Two more are here."
"They just keep coming, one after another."
The sky screen covered a vast area. Aside from his location, the entire village and battlefield were within its range.
The first person to enter the battlefield was still some distance from him.
The second was even farther away. He could just make out a figure repeatedly jumping back and forth at the far end, refusing to come any closer.
"Hey, you in the back! If you're coming, then come. If not, get lost, got it?" Chen Yuan cursed.
Shi Kun laughed. "Chu Lan, you still won't come out? He's laughing at you."
"Hmph." Chu Lan finally stepped out. Wearing a long cyan robe, he summoned his Martial Soul.
"One, two, three-three Soul Rings! A Soul Elder is here!" Countless Soul Masters were shocked. An expert had finally arrived.
His Martial Soul: the Azure-Patterned Python!
The python flicked its tongue in and out, looking in Chen Yuan's direction.
Chu Lan shouted, "Young man, you've got quite the mouth on you."
"After killing more than three hundred people, you didn't run. You stayed here to roast a chicken."
"I don't know whether you're big and bold or just stupid."
"I am a Soul Elder. Those people can't compare to me."
"Shi Kun, are you going first, or am I?"
Shi Kun said indifferently, "You go first. If you become a god, remember to look after me. If you fail, I'll finish him off."
"Fine." Chu Lan sneered.
"Chen Yuan, come out and fight!"
Rumble! Susanoo swung its sword down, and sword Qi swept across more than a hundred meters.
Chu Lan and his Martial Soul, the Azure-Patterned Python, leaped swiftly back and forth to evade the attack, closing in rapidly.
He reached the space beneath Susanoo and shouted in a low voice, "Venom Fang Piercing!"
Wearing the expression of someone whose wicked scheme had succeeded, he said, "The venom my Martial Soul releases can poison your Martial Soul to death."
The Azure-Patterned Python wrapped around Susanoo, opened its bloody maw, and bit down hard.
It bared two venomous fangs.
The fangs gleamed.
"It's over, it's over! Chen Yuan's going to die!" Countless Soul Masters watched footage of the battlefield through the sky screen.
"The moment a Soul Elder makes a move, he's done for."
Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu, and the others were tense.
Qian Daoliu shouted, "Don't you die! I haven't become a god yet. I need your head!"
"If you die, what am I supposed to do?"
"Ahem." Bibi Dong coughed.
Qian Daoliu said solemnly, "Well, I was only talking just now. With you here, how could I become a god? Naturally, I'll leave the opportunity to you."
Ghost Douluo said softly, "Is he going to die?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head. "No."
"That thing is only his Soul Skill. It's not his Martial Soul at all. His Martial Soul is that pair of eyes."
"Strange. Look, why are there no Soul Rings when he uses a Soul Skill?!"
He was shocked. It was the first time he had seen someone use a Soul Skill without any Soul Rings appearing.
"So far, he's revealed two Soul Skills. He should be a Soul Grandmaster, so why doesn't he have any Soul Rings?"
He froze, then immediately reported his discovery to Bibi Dong and the others.
"You're right." Bibi Dong noticed something unusual. When Chen Yuan used a Soul Skill, where were his Soul Rings?
"He has no Soul Rings."
As everyone knew, on the Douluo Continent, once a person became a Soul Master, using a Soul Skill would reveal their Martial Soul and how many Soul Rings they had. Yet Chen Yuan did not.
He had broken that law.
"Or could it be a skill he can use without a Martial Soul?" a Soul Saint wondered.
"Impossible!"
"Without a Martial Soul or Soul Rings, a Soul Skill can't even be produced. How could he use a skill?" Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head.
Just as they were at an impasse,
a scene appeared on the sky screen.
They heard Chen Yuan's voice. "Hey, what's your python doing? Trying to poison my Susanoo with your venom?"
"Sorry!"
"Your venom isn't good enough!"
Boom! Susanoo kicked the python wrapped around its leg away.
Bang! The Azure-Patterned Python tumbled over and over before crashing into a large tree a hundred meters away.
Chu Lan was startled and immediately retreated as well, but he was too slow. He looked up to see Susanoo's huge hand coming down, swatting him dozens of meters away as if swatting a mosquito.
