Chapter 148: Extreme Test
Mo Feiyun looked extremely dismal as he rushed pathetically out of the Great Star Dou Forest. There had been eight of them initially, including Wei Na and Mu Xue. However, there were only five of them left now. Three soul kings had been left behind in the forest forever. They hadn’t even managed to hunt down the soul beasts that they’d wanted.
All of this had something to do with Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao after they left—or perhaps after they went missing.
After the three of them went missing, a frightening aura was released when Elder Xuan clashed with Three-Headed Scarlet Devilmastiff. Mo Feiyun had been terrified when he felt the aura, and immediately frantically escaped with everyone. Because they didn’t know where the aura had come from, they ran in the wrong direction in their panic, and met with opponents that they couldn’t deal with.
In the end, they made a lucky escape after they left the three soul kings behind. However, they didn’t make any progress after searching for several days, and had no choice but to leave the Great Star Dou Forest.
“Missy, Your Highness, it seems like we’ll have to make a trip to the Extreme North.” Mo Feiyun sighed.
Mu Xue comforted him, “Master Mo, it’s fine. We can search slowly. It’s also better for me and Wei Na to search for martial souls in the Extreme North. However, it’s a pity for those three other masters. The sect will compensate their families greatly when we return, don’t worry.”
Mo Feiyun nodded his head and said, “Hai, it’s all my fault. I let them down! If I hadn’t chose the wrong direction and brought everyone to the Hybrid Region, all of this wouldn’t have happened.”
Mu Xue snorted. “They’re also to be blamed. We haven’t seen them since they disappeared. Don’t let me see them again.”
Wei Na commented, “Sister Mu Xue, we can’t blame them either. They didn’t do anything to us either. They only left us suddenly.”
Mu Xue answered, “Even though I don’t think that they’re capable of making a hundred thousand year soul beast unleash its aura, they did coincidentally disappear when it happened. Who was the one that brought Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong away? If I’m not wrong, the three of them were here to seek soul rings. But they must’ve been followed by a powerful elder. Star Luo National Academy is the top academy in the Star Luo Empire, and has Titled Douluo-level teachers. Maybe that elder was a Titled Douluo who attracted strong opposition.”
Wei Na laughed bitterly. “There’s no point guessing now that things have gotten to this stage. Let’s just head to the Extreme North. To be honest, I’d really rather not go there! It’s too cold, and danger usually lies in the unknown.”
Mu Xue said, “Let’s return to Heaven Dou City to reorganize ourselves and replenish our strength. We won’t need to be afraid of the Extreme North if we make proper preparations. However, Wei Na, you’ve indeed impressed me! You didn’t complain once on this journey even though you’re the Heavenly Soul Empire’s princess. I didn’t expect this!”
Wei Na laughed and replied, “Let’s go, Sister Mu Xue. We have to seize the day if we want to reorganize. It’s been almost a month since we reached our Rank 30 bottlenecks. I don’t want it to go on like this.”
……
“Teacher Fan Yu, how did you know I was coming back?” Huo Yuhao asked curiously as he followed Fan Yu into the Soul Tool Testing Area.
Fan Yu replied, “Elder Mu informed me.”
Huo Yuhao was shocked, “Teacher informed you?”
Fan Yu chuckled and said, “Elder Mu is highly skilled; what’s so strange about him using long-distance communication? Yuhao, you have an important mission from today onwards. It’ll be much tougher than before, but you must persevere. The Sea God’s Pavilion has decided that the Soul Tool Department will use all of its resources to initiate the Ultimate Soldier Plan and nurture you and He Caitou. The pressure on the both of you will greatly increase from now on. Even though I’m your teacher, I won’t let you off so easily. You’ll face immense challenges when the training begins unless the both of you somehow back out of the Ultimate Soldier Plan.”
The two of them finally reached Testing Area Number 12.
The Testing Area was empty, save for He Caitou, who was in the midst of creating a soul tool.
“Senior He.” Huo Yuhao greeted him and rushed over.
He Caitou put the metal in his hands down and chortled, “Little junior, you’re finally back. How are things? Are they settled?”
Huo Yuhao nodded and replied, “I’m a soul elder now.”
Fan Yu said, “Alright, let’s get to work. Both of you, come over here.”
Huo Yuhao and He Caitou rushed to Fan Yu and stood in front of him.
Fan Yu said in a deep voice, “The Ultimate Soldier Plan will start from today. Even though it’s likely to be very tough with your current cultivations, there’s no way that you can back out now. You need to give your all to complete this training. Dean Xian, Dean Qian, and myself will be guiding both of you. I shall explain the significance of the Ultimate Soldier Plan in today’s first lesson.”
“The Ultimate Soldier Plan aims to nurture a powerful entity capable of changing the tide of an entire war. The definition of war here refers to resistance by a foreign army.”
“All four empires on the continent have armies that consist of soul masters. The generals of these armies must, at the minimum, be a soul sage. If a coordinated and well-trained army possesses sufficient soul tools, even Titled Douluo can’t easily deal with them. Since the two of you have been chosen as part of the Ultimate Soldier Plan, you must not only learn how to create soul tools, but you must also know how to use them. In addition, you need to learn infiltration, camouflage, investigation, destruction, and concealment techniques, on top of military knowledge. The academy’s original intention was to try out this plan over a ten year period. However, Elder Mu has instructed us to make it feasible within two years.”
“Yuhao, Caitou, there’s a slight difference in the way that both of you will be nurtured. Yuhao will focus more on investigation, destruction, infiltration, and concealment techniques, as well as the usage of soul tools. Caitou, you’ll focus on soul tool development, explosives, camouflage techniques, survival skills, military administration, strategy, observation skills, quick reactions, escape techniques, ambush techniques, and many other miscellaneous aspects.”
He Caitou had much more to learn than Huo Yuhao. This was because Huo Yuhao had to focus on cultivating both his martial soul and soul tools.
Fan Yu continued, “Simply put, Yuhao’s aim is to increase his own destructive capability and learn all of the methods available to destroy his enemies. On the other hand, Caitou is a food-type soul master. He needs to obtain greater knowledge to take on a more supplementary level. You’ll be Yuhao’s advisor and strategist. In our plan, the Ultimate Soldier refers to the two of you as a single entity. It’s not just one of you; it’s the both of you. Understood?”
Huo Yuhao quickly turned to look at He Caitou. He Caitou appeared calm, but his eyes revealed a look of excitement. He Caitou smiled when he saw Huo Yuhao looking over and said, “What’s wrong? This was my choice. My role is more important than yours in the Ultimate Soldier Plan, hehe.”
Even though Huo Yuhao wasn’t old, he was much more mature than others his age due to the experiences he’d been through. How could he not understand from Fan Yu’s words that he was the main protagonist in the plan, and that He Caitou was just his aide? Furthermore, He Caitou had to learn that much more than him. He would definitely have less energy to devote to his own cultivation!
Fan Yu patted Huo Yuhao’s shoulder and said, “Yuhao, don’t think too much. Even though Caitou is your aide in this plan, his future cultivation won’t be low. The academy will definitely think of a way to help him become a Titled Douluo. The academy has put a lot of effort into this Ultimate Soldier Plan; we’ll do our best to make it perfect. You should only concern yourself with how to enhance yourself through the tough learning and training.”
“Yes.” Huo Yuhao didn’t say anything further, but he’d never forget this favour from his senior.
Fan Yu said, “As it’s the first day of this plan, I shall give both of you a test. Go and prepare first, I’ll make the necessary arrangements while you do so. Proceed to the Beast Dueling Area in an hour’s time. You can use whatever skills you have during the test, including soul tools. Everything but stationary soul tools will be allowed.”
After Fan Yu left, He Caitou busied himself and grabbed many different types of soul tools.
“Senior, do you know the contents of this test? We should be fighting soul beasts in the Beast Dueling Area, right?” Huo Yuhao asked.
He Caitou replied, “I don’t know. However, teacher said that the Soul Tool Department’s resources will all be expended on us. I don’t think it’s as simple as a fight with soul beasts; we have to be prepared. If I’m not wrong, the test today is to find out what our limits are before they arrange our future training. The Ultimate Soldier Plan is more focused on live experience. We’ll have at least one practical experience every week from now on. The remainder of our training involves learning and practice.”
“Okay.” Huo Yuhao clenched his fists, and his eyes were filled with confidence. His abilities had improved greatly ever since they’d won the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament. His teacher didn’t even know what he’d obtained in the Great Star Dou Forest. He was determined to surprise his teacher in this test.
Huo Yuhao didn’t prepare too much, since there wasn’t much for him to prepare. He hadn’t made any soul tools in months, so he still had the same few soul tools on him. The strongest one was likely the soul paralysis ray, which was why he only sat cross-legged and tried to regulate his soul power to bring himself to his best condition. He Caitou was soon finished with his own preparations.
After an hour, Huo Yuhao and He Caitou proceeded towards the Beast Dueling Area. It was already lesson time, thus the outer courtyard was very quiet. The two of them looked at each other, then entered the Beast Dueling Area.
A few important figures and the person in charge of the Beast Dueling Area, Gong Changlong, were waiting for them in the center of the Beast Dueling Area.
As Shrek Academy’s largest exclusive region, the Beast Dueling Area was also the largest building in the academy. It covered an area that was greater than the all of the Martial Soul Department classroom blocks, dormitories and Shrek Plaza combined. Huo Yuhao and He Caitou jogged over there.
“Greetings to Dean Xian, Dean Qian and Teacher Gong. Teacher.” The two of them greeted everyone, including Fan Yu.
Gong Changlong had a deep impression of Huo Yuhao. When Huo Yuhao imitated the aura of a hundred thousand year soul beast, he had caused widespread fear among the soul beasts in the Beast Dueling Area, and they literally shit and pissed themselves. It took a lot of time to clear all that up.
Gong Changlong furrowed his brows and he asked, “Dean Xian, Old Qian, are the two of you both certain that you want to do this? How old are these two kids? What if something happens?”
Xian Lin’er said in a deep voice, “Elder Gong, how can we test their limits if we don’t do this? Their potential and abilities can only be fully unleashed in a life and death situation.”
Huo Yuhao and He Caitou were stunned as they heard Dean Xian. Wasn’t this just a test? Why did it involve a life and death situation?
Gong Changlong said, “I hope that the Soul Tool Department doesn’t cause any trouble. I don’t agree with this. I need to be responsible for these students’ safety.”
Xian Lin’er took out a token of made of some unknown material. The token was lush blue, and contained a spinning blue halo.
“Elder Gong, the Sea God’s Pavilion has already given approval for the Soul Tool Department to begin the Ultimate Soldier Plan. All resources in the academy must be duly allocated according to their wishes. Please begin with what we agreed on just now.”
Xian Lin’er was one of the two most authoritative deans in Shrek Academy. His words carried great weight.
Elder Gong’s expression changed greatly when he saw the lush blue token. He didn’t speak any further, and he turned around before leaving. The Sea God's Writ was Shrek Academy’s highest-ranked token. It could only be given out during the conference held within Sea God’s Pavilion. It could only be used temporarily, and had to be returned to the Pavilion afterward.
One who held the Sea God's Writ could move all Shrek Academy’s resources, which included recalling graduated students and re-allocating Shrek City’s human, material and financial resources. Apart from Elder Mu, everyone had to listen once the Sea God's Writ was revealed. Even Elder Xuan was no exception. If something special happened, only Elder Mu could retrieve the token before the user completed his mission.
Huo Yuhao and He Caitou didn’t know the significance of the Sea God's Writ. They were a little nervous now. What exactly was the test about?
Xian Lin’er nodded at Fan Yu, “Fan Yu, tell them about the test.”
Fan Yu said, “Caitou, Yuhao, we’ll test the limits of your abilities later. The two of you must not hold anything back in this test. During this test, I will keep adding soul beasts to deplete all your powers. The test is only over when you lose all ability to fight any further. The soul beasts will not be merciful on you. We’ll be ready to step in anytime, but we can’t guarantee that no accidents will happen.”
“That’s why you must try your best to protect yourselves during the entire test. The longer you persist, the more soul beasts you’ll encounter. This will also enhance your scores in the test. You can kill soul beasts during this test; do not have any misgivings. Besides a restriction on Yuhao’s Imitation, which will be that he is not allowed to imitate a hundred thousand year soul beast’s aura, and Caitou’s use of stationary soul tools, both of you can use whatever abilities you have. The first requirement of an Ultimate Soldier is to be able to protect yourself under all sorts of conditions. You must keep this in mind. Go on to the center. The soul beasts will appear from anywhere, and there’ll be no start signal. Let me see how good you are.”
“Yes.” Huo Yuhao acknowledged resolutely just as He Caitou was feeling anxious. Huo Yuhao was filled with fighting will when he thought of Elder Mu’s expectations, Teacher Fan Yu’s hopes for both of them and Senior He Caitou’s sacrifice. He wanted to work hard, fight and give his all to improve himself.
He Caitou also gathered his emotions and walked towards the center of the Beast Dueling Area with Huo Yuhao.
As he walked, He Caitou said softly, “Little junior, what’s our plan?”
Huo Yuhao pondered for a while before saying, “Senior, I’ll be the one who mainly fights while you cover me. You’ll attack based on the directions given by my Spiritual Detection. Control your own attacks and try to retreat after each strike. I believe that we won’t be facing just one soul beast in this test. We need to conserve our energy and soul power.”
He Caitou answered readily, “Alright, I’ll follow your instructions.” As the test was about to start, they started to become excited. They had managed to survive the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament. How difficult could this test be?
“Here they come.” Huo Yuhao shouted and turned around. He shifted his feet two steps and blocked He Caitou.
A wolf-like soul beast that was covered in black fur had leapt towards them quietly. It even seemed a little illusory as it leaped.
It was a Spectre Wolf, a lightning-quick soul beast with extreme dodging abilities. This Spectre Wolf’s forehead had a lock of golden hair, which signified that its cultivation was beyond a thousand years.
3 white soul rings rose from Huo Yuhao’s feet. His eyes lit up, and a dim golden light flashed. His Spiritual Detection Sharing was initiated, covering 100 meters around him. A very clear blueprint appeared in He Caitou’s head. Huo Yuhao immediately reduced the area that his Spiritual Detection covered to save his soul power.
He had no Wang Dong, Haodong Power or Golden Light to aid his recovery. He had to depend on himself and He Caitou.
The Spectre Wolf had already burst in front of them in this short period of time. He Caitou’s body rang with clanging noises, and 12 small soul tool cannons appeared on him. He immediately chose his soul tools based on his experience and Huo Yuhao’s advice to retreat after attacking.
The thousand year Spectre Wolf didn’t leap at them directly. As it realized that it was less than 10 meters away from Huo Yuhao, its body shook a little, and two other Spectre Wolves appeared on its left and right. There were now 3 of them that were coming from different directions. 2 of them went for Huo Yuhao, while the remaining Spectre Wolf went for He Caitou.
This was the Spectre Doppelganger, an innate soul skill of the Spectre Wolf. Only one of the doppelgangers was real. The other two didn’t have any true offensive abilities. Not only was this innate skill useful, but it was also quite effective. If not for the fact that soul masters couldn’t unleash their soul skills with this skill, the Spectre Wolf would have already been extinct. Even so, thousand year Spectre Wolves were soul beasts that many beast soul masters liked to choose.
Huo Yuhao also moved as the Spectre Wolf turned into 3 different figures. He used the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to turn illusory as well.
His abilities had benefited from an all-round increase as his cultivation went above three rings. His speed became extremely rapid. Along with the changes to his body by the Life Guardian, he was like a hunted panther escaping quickly as he burst out.
His figure flashed, and he reached the Spectre Wolf on the left. His right hand slapped the head of the Spectre Wolf directly.
He struck at a very opportune time. It was in exactly the same moment that the Spectre Wolf jumped out. The Spectre Wolf couldn’t change direction anymore, and only lifted both its front legs to claw at Huo Yuhao. At the same time, it tried to bite Huo Yuhao’s right hand.
However, it was doing this based on its calculation of Huo Yuhao’s arm length and the speed of his strike. At this instant, 5 long dark golden blades suddenly appeared at the tips of Huo Yuhao’s fingers.
They increased in length until they were a foot long, meaning that Huo Yuhao’s reach had also increased by a foot. His strike landed on the Spectre Wolf’s head, and the sharp, dark golden blades stabbed into its forehead. Huo Yuhao exploited its momentum to lift its body until it was almost perpendicular to the ground. The Spectre Wolf’s claws didn’t manage to strike him. Huo Yuhao used his right arm’s strength to propel his body into the air and suppress the Spectre Wolf.
The Spectre Wolf screamed pathetically and was immediately killed by the dark golden blades that had pierced its head.
He Caitou didn’t move from his position, and the other two Spectre Wolves leapt towards him and Huo Yuhao. But they were instantaneously turned into balls of grey fog before they disappeared.
The Spectre Doppelganger was a joke in front of the Spiritual Detection. How could Huo Yuhao be tricked?
Huo Yuhao used his left hand to hit the Spectre Wolf’s head and flip himself over. The Spectre Wolf’s body was struck to the ground and remained motionless. Not even a single drop of blood flowed out from the wolf. There was only a purple soul ring.
“Fan Yu, you’ve developed a new close-combat soul tool?” Qian Duoduo was stunned. He had already ascended to the stage with Xian Lin’er and Fan Yu to watch the battle in the Beast Dueling Area.
Fan Yu was also puzzled. “No! I don’t even know what that dark golden blade is. Did he develop it himself?”
Qian Duoduo said, “That’s impossible. Wolves are like dogs. Their heads are very tough, although their bodies are very weak. The skull of the Spectre Wolf is the toughest part of its body. Although this thousand year Spectre Wolf isn’t defensively sound, its skull is still quite strong. But it was pierced so easily by Yuhao. I’m afraid even a Class 5 or 6 close-combat soul tool wouldn’t be able to do that. How would it be possible for him to even create one, much less use it?”
“That’s a soul bone,” Xian Lin’er said.
“Soul bone? This kid has a right arm soul bone?” Fan Yu was shocked. “I recall that he only received a left arm bone after he returned from the tournament!”
The battle in the arena didn’t stop as they conversed. After Huo Yuhao regained his footing, he slid, and his entire body fell to the ground. The dark golden blades on his right hand didn’t retract, but were stabbed into the ground instead.
He caused a tremor that covered tens of square meters. Dirt sprayed everywhere as a huge body was forced out of the ground
It was a huge python covered in dark green scales, about six meters long. At this time, its whole body was spasming wildly. Huo Yuhao had grabbed on its head as he “slipped” earlier.
Pythons had more vitality then wolves, so it hadn’t died immediately. It shook violently and flung Huo Yuhao to one side, twisting and turning, while the wounds on its head gushed blood. No matter how strong its vitality was, it couldn’t withstand five killing wounds on its head!
This was a thousand-year Blackscale Python, a thousand-year soul beast. But it was actually killed so quickly by Huo Yuhao, undoubtedly the work of his Spiritual Detection.
He Caitou didn’t even unleash a strike. When Huo Yuhao fell to the ground, his legs shifted rapidly, and he retreated 10 meters, preventing any attack by the thousand-year Blackscale Python.
Two thousand-year soul beasts had been killed in a matter of seconds.
Gong Changlong, who was initially worried that they would be hurt, was now extremely appalled. Did Huo Yuhao really only have three soul rings? Furthermore, his soul rings were all white. What was going on?
Huo Yuhao and He Caitou were given the opportunity to catch their breath after slaying two soul beasts in succession. Of course, they weren’t really in need of such a break at the moment.
He Caitou was as shocked as the teachers right now.
Compared to the teachers, he was much more familiar with Huo Yuhao’s abilities. A three-ringed Soul Elder was on the same level as a thousand-year soul beast. However, this didn’t mean that all soul elders had the ability to kill a thousand-year soul beast.
When Huo Yuhao first met Bei Bei, he had helped him kill a thousand-year soul beast. Bei Bei even mentioned that he didn’t have absolute confidence in resisting the thousand-year soul beast they had run into back then. Of course, Bei Bei had been referring to a soul beast with seven or eight thousand-years of cultivation.
The two soul beasts that had appeared just now only possessed a thousand-years of cultivation, but they were true thousand-year soul beasts! Even if Huo Yuhao was fortunate enough to have Spiritual Detection to help him sense their movements, he couldn’t have killed them without the Darkgolden Terrorclaws. Almost all soul beasts had tough skull, but the two soul beasts he had fought just now had no chance against the golden claws!
He Caitou hadn’t seen Huo Yuhao’s Darkgolden Terrorclaws before. He only knew that Huo Yuhao didn’t show any obvious undulations of soul power when he killed the two soul beasts. He had only maintained his Spiritual Detection, and used pure strength to kill both soul beasts. The two soul beasts were killed before they could unleash their own abilities. This was especially so for the python, which had wanted to mount a surprise attack. However, it was killed before it could do so.
However, He Caitou didn’t have time to ask Huo Yuhao what his Darkgolden Terrorclaws were. The test had only just started. Even though Huo Yuhao had already displayed his full strength, it didn’t change the nature of the test.
Four more soul beasts burst towards the two of them from four different directions. These four soul beasts were all different, but they were obviously at least in the thousand-year bracket in terms of cultivation.
They were a lion, a tiger, a panther and a bear. They were thousand-year soul beasts, but there were differences in their powers. Just like how a thousand-year Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear was unafraid of a ten thousand-year Deviltiger Cat, these four species of soul beasts might not have especially outstanding blood lineages, but their powers were greater than those of most soul beasts.
Furthermore, these four soul beasts belonged to the same element – the rare Metal element. This meant that that they were skilled in physical combat, and their defensive strength was extremely high.
The four soul beasts let out different roars as they started to force their way closer to Huo Yuhao and He Caitou.
The thousand-year Golden Panther was the quickest. This yellow- eyed Golden Panther had a row of fine metal spikes on its neck. Each spike was around three inches in length, and covered its neck all the way to its spine. Although it moved very swiftly, it didn’t dash over at the first opportunity. The four soul beasts seemed to be coordinating with one another!
This was Shrek Academy’s Beast Dueling Area. Some of the soul beasts had been trained. The higher the soul beasts’ cultivations, the higher their intelligence. Training them wasn’t completely impossible with sufficient temptation. Of course, the secret method to training them was confidential in the academy.
A dim radiance flashed, and Huo Yuhao’s face revealed a cold smile. Coordination? How could he let them do as they wished?
“Charge!” Huo Yuhao shouted, and charged towards the east with He Caitou. There was a thousand-year golden bear on this side. It was huge and burly, its body close to three meters tall and exuding a golden glow. Although it couldn’t compare to the Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear’s dark golden glow, its standing fur and rough skin made it the most defensively resolute among the 4 soul beasts. It was also the strongest.
The Golden Bear roared as it saw Huo Yuhao and He Caitou rushing over. It charged at the two of them, while the other three soul beasts also sped up, quickly surrounding the two humans. The Golden Panther was the fastest, chasing them like a bolt of yellow lightning. As the golden bear faced them from the front, it would attack them from behind!
Huo Yuhao suddenly lifted his head and squinted. Two streaks of purplish-gold light shot out from his Spirit Eyes. The golden bear’s body trembled violently, and its front legs lost their footing before it crashed onto the ground. Its immense weight even caused its two front claw bones to crack slightly.
Huo Yuhao’s cultivation had increased to three rings, and he even possessed the Eye of Destiny. While his increased spiritual power was sucked away by the Eye of Destiny and left him almost the same as before, the quality of his spiritual power had greatly increased. He used Spiritual Shock to completely crush the golden bear’s spiritual power.
Why did Huo Yuhao choose this direction? The reason was simple – the bear had the lowest intelligence among all four soul beasts, even though it was the strongest. This meant that its spiritual power was the weakest among the four soul beasts. It wasn’t directly killed by the Spiritual Shock, but its soul had suffered irreparable damage.
Huo Yuhao and He Caitou’s backs lit up. Their soul tool thrusters were initiated, propelling them forward. They quickly closed the gap to the golden bear.
The Golden Panther was now only twenty meters away from the. The other two soul beasts were fifty meters away, as they were not as quick.
Huo Yuhao had enough time to do many things with the distance between them and the other soul beasts.
He suddenly leapt forward and unleashed the Darkgolden Terrorclaws once again. He didn’t stab the claws into the bear’s head. Since he was trying to conserve his soul power, he didn’t want to waste it on the golden bear’s skull. This golden bear’s defensive strength was much greater than the wolf and python earlier.
The dark golden claws stabbed into the bear’s neck and tore its spinal cortex. Its huge body slumped down, its life leaving its huge body quickly..
He Caitou’s figure flashed, and he came in behind the golden bear, using its body as a shield. Huo Yuhao stepped onto the golden bear and used his momentum to leap up before turning around in midair.
He lifted his right hand high above his head, as his entire body bent into a bow. He was like an axe that was about to unleash immense destruction. The Golden Panther was already close to him at this point.
A streak of frightening dark gold light shot out from Huo Yuhao’s right hand. The Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear’s true appearance was finally revealed for the first time.
The huge dark golden projection swept across the space between the panther and Hu Yuhao, its frightening aura causing the other two soul beasts to stop in their tracks.
The Golden Panther, however, was already in the air, and was about to unleash an all-out attack on Huo Yuhao. Its body flashed with a golden light as it tried to resist Huo Yuhao’s attack. However, its body was still instantly cut to pieces, falling to the ground in a splatter of blood and gore.
“Damn it, Darkgolden Terrorclaws!” Qian Duoduo finally recognized what Huo Yuhao’s right palm bone was. Who didn’t know of the famous Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear? Even Qian Duoduo envied Huo Yuhao now. Not only was it difficult to kill a Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear, it was even more tedious to find a Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear that fit one’s own cultivation! Furthermore, Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bears didn’t just possess one innate skill. Finding a soul bone and a soul skill from a Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear was even more laborious!
