Killing the Four-Thousand-Year-Old Pink Fox

"Third Soul Skill, Spatial Wind Tunnel!"

(P.S.: Dear readers, the author has changed the name of the first skill from the third Soul Ring to Spatial Wind Tunnel, so everyone can tell the protagonist's Soul Skill abilities apart while reading. The second skill's effect and name remain Spatial Distortion. Thank you, dear readers.)

The space in front of the Pink Fox suddenly warped and blurred, and the pink mist sweeping toward the five young women was sucked into the Spatial Wind Tunnel that had appeared.

The young women from Skywater Academy standing nearby saw someone intervene to save them in the Star Dou Great Forest. The despair in their eyes faded, and every one of them wore an expression of overwhelming excitement and gratitude.

"You two, we meet again. I didn't expect us to run into each other in the Star Dou Great Forest, but it looks like you're in trouble. Let me deal with the Soul Beast in front of us, and then we can catch up."

After using his Soul Skill to intercept the mist released by the Pink Fox, Su Tianyu turned to the Shui sisters with a faint smile, a surprised expression on his face.

"Sis, look! It's the handsome guy we saw at the entrance to Star Dou Town! I didn't expect us to meet him in the Star Dou Great Forest too. He must have stepped in to save us this time because of you, sis. You two stared at each other for ages back then."

Shui Yue'er spoke excitedly to Shui Bing'er, who stood beside her. Wearing a lovestruck expression, she fixed her large, lively eyes on Su Tianyu a short distance ahead.

Shui Bing'er looked at Su Tianyu, who had appeared before her. When she heard her younger sister's words, a blush immediately spread across her face, and she gazed at him worriedly.

Their group had a Soul Elder and four Soul Grandmasters, yet none of them was a match for the Pink Fox Soul Beast ahead. She prayed for Su Tianyu in her heart, hoping the Pink Fox would be no match for him, so their group could leave the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest unharmed and return to Star Dou Small Town.

After greeting the Shui sisters, Su Tianyu turned back to look at the Pink Fox a short distance ahead. Three simulated Soul Rings-yellow, yellow, and purple-rose beneath his feet. The third, a purple Soul Ring, lit up again, and he shouted coldly.

"Third Soul Skill, Spatial Distortion!"

The space within ten meters of the Pink Fox abruptly twisted. Spatial ripples surged outward, enclosing it tightly. A tyrannical spatial restraining force instantly locked down its limbs and bones, leaving it unable to move even an inch. A crushing, tearing force followed, bursting forth as though countless invisible hands had seized its body, squeezing and ripping at it.

Crack-crack-

Sharp cracks of breaking bone rang out one after another. The Pink Fox's limbs twisted and deformed before their eyes, while a piercing scream that had yet to escape was stopped up in its throat. As spatial force crushed its body, blood and bone fragments splattered outward, only to be churned into bloody mist by the distorted space before they hit the ground.

In just a few breaths, the Pink Fox went completely still.

In an instant, an even stronger spatial collapse descended with a roar. The space within ten meters caved inward, and the terrifying crushing force ground the Pink Fox directly into powder.

In the blink of an eye, a breeze swept through the blood mist and fine powder floating in the air, leaving them to vanish without a trace in the Star Dou Great Forest. Only air warped by the spatial tremors remained; the Pink Fox had not left behind so much as a trace of residue or blood.

Su Tianyu released the third Soul Skill he had been maintaining and watched the powder floating in midair disappear. Only then did he withdraw the Soul Rings that had appeared around him. Smiling, he looked toward the Bingbing'er sisters nearby and spoke.

"Ladies, long time no see. My name is Su Tianyu. You came to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain Soul Rings this time. Have you managed to hunt any Soul Beasts you were satisfied with?"

"Hello, handsome! I'm Shui Yue'er, and this is my older sister, Shui Bing'er. I didn't expect to meet you again in the Star Dou Great Forest. I'm so happy!"

Shui Yue'er took quick little steps over to Su Tianyu. Looking at his striking features, she spoke happily, her face filled with delight.

Su Tianyu nodded to Shui Yue'er beside him in greeting, then looked at Shui Bing'er, who stood nearby in a light blue dress, and smiled at her.

"Thank you for stepping in to save us. My name is Shui Bing'er. I'm a student at Skywater Academy. It's a pleasure to meet you." A blush appeared on Shui Bing'er's face as she spoke to Su Tianyu, her eyes darting away.

"Don't worry about such a small thing. I'm happy to meet you sisters too."

Su Tianyu's face was full of smiles as he replied gently to the shy Shui Bing'er nearby.

Looking at Shui Bing'er, who stood about 1.7 meters tall, beautiful enough to put the moon and flowers to shame and delicately enchanting, he felt a flicker of emotion flash through his eyes.

Su Tianyu and Shui Yue'er went over and stood beside Shui Bing'er. He looked at the three young women nearby and asked her a question.

"Shui Bing'er, these are your three senior schoolmates, right? I assume their trip to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain Soul Rings went smoothly. Would you like me to accompany you to hunt Soul Beasts?"

Hearing this, Shui Bing'er hurriedly replied, "There's no need. Our trip to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain Soul Rings went very smoothly. But on our way back to Star Dou Town, we ran into a twenty-thousand-year-old Violent Gold Bear Soul Beast. Our teacher chose to stay behind alone to hold it off and told us to run for our lives. I don't know whether our teacher escaped danger."

When Shui Bing'er finished speaking, her face was filled with sorrow and anguish. Tears rolled down her cheeks from her eyes as she wept softly.

"Shui Bing'er, your teacher has already met with disaster. By the time I found her, the Violent Gold Bear had already swallowed her. Afterward, I saw the marks you left on the trees and followed the trail until I found you."

"What? Our teacher has already been killed?"

Hearing this, the five young women's faces filled with grief. They all crouched on the ground, buried their heads, and sobbed.

Looking at the young women crouched on the ground in anguish, Su Tianyu didn't know what to say to comfort them. He could only let them cry their fill and release the joys and sorrows in their hearts.

Once their sobs had quieted, Su Tianyu spoke to comfort them. "Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and the rest of you, you all need to pull yourselves together. Work hard at cultivating your Soul Power and make yourselves stronger. Only then will you have the ability to save the friends and family you spend your days and nights with."

"Su Tianyu, you're right. If we all had the strength of Soul Emperors now, our teacher wouldn't have stayed behind alone to fight the Soul Beast with her life to give us more time to escape. I want to become stronger, so I can protect the family and friends around me."

Shui Bing'er wiped away her tears and stood up, meeting Su Tianyu's gaze. Her eyes shone like torches, and her expression was resolute as she spoke.

Seeing Shui Bing'er emerge from her sorrow so quickly, Su Tianyu smiled with relief. This was Shui Bing'er, known in the original work as the big sister of the Skywater team, showing the radiant, beautiful, and captivating side of herself. She was no longer the silent, cold, and aloof Shui Bing'er from before.
