[As expected, they’re just a bunch of mortals.
They make a big fuss over everything!] [Even if this soul skill were enhanced a hundred or a thousand times, it would still be nothing in my eyes.] [A numerical monster is nothing before a mechanism monster!] [The first soul skill of my other martial soul can directly freeze a target for nine seconds!] [Even after ascending to godhood in the future, this ability will remain endlessly useful!] The corner of Ning Wen’s mouth twitched.
The joy he had just felt instantly vanished.
Yes, yes, whatever you say!
Just keep bragging!
The first soul skill could freeze a target for nine seconds.
That effect was even superior to the first technique of the Sea God’s Golden Thirteen Halberds.
After all, that was the most renowned and strongest control divine skill in the God Realm—Unfixed Storm!
Unfixed Storm merely disrupted space-time and restrained its opponent.
Against an opponent who had yet to become a god, it could immobilize them for eight seconds.
If the opponent were a god-level powerhouse, it could only restrict their movements for at least three seconds.
But yours was a genuine time stop!
From what you said, whether the enemy had become a god or not, you could forcibly control them for nine whole seconds.
That was simply ridiculous!
Why don’t you just ascend to the heavens already?!
Did you really think I had never read Douluo Dalu?
For soul masters who became gods on Douluo Continent, their martial souls were practically decorations once they ascended.
As for their soul skills, they were even less useful.
Even Poseidon, who had conquered the seas, gathered faith, and condensed the Sea God Position, had created his own divine skill—the Golden Thirteen Halberds.
As for Tang San, there was even less to say.
After becoming a god, almost all of the powers he used in battle came from either the Sea God or the Asura God.
Ning Fengzhi’s breathing hitched slightly.
Nine seconds of time stop!
What did that mean?
A battlefield could change in an instant.
Even immobilizing someone for a single second could be enough to turn the tide of battle.
A strange look flashed through Chen Xin’s eyes.
He had traversed the continent for many years and witnessed countless powerful control-type soul skills, but this was the first time he had ever heard of one capable of forcibly controlling an enemy for nine seconds.
And this was only the first soul skill.
It was easy to imagine how terrifying the remaining eight soul skills would be.
If all of this were true, he seemed to understand why Ning Wen would be able to create his own God Position in the future.
Gu Rong subconsciously swallowed.
He naturally knew that Ning Wen possessed twin martial souls.
But he had never imagined that the other martial soul would be even more terrifying.
“Mm.
Your soul skill is indeed very powerful.
Next, we should find you a second soul ring.” Ning Fengzhi forcibly suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart and walked forward, keeping his tone as normal as possible.
“Uncle Ning, I want my second soul ring to be at the 1,000-year level.” Ning Wen stated his request directly.
“Good.” Ning Fengzhi nodded without the slightest hesitation.
That left Ning Wen completely dumbfounded.
This was a 1,000-year soul ring!
Under normal circumstances, a soul master had to reach the Soul Elder level before they could meet the requirements to absorb one.
He had already prepared himself to persuade Ning Fengzhi and the others.
He had spent all that time preparing…
For absolutely nothing.
The four of them did not linger and turned toward the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The wind rustled through the trees, while the fallen leaves beneath their feet continuously gave off faint, crunching sounds.
The journey was incredibly quiet, with only the voice pack occasionally rambling on.
As before, Chen Xin released his spiritual power and searched for a suitable soul beast for Ning Wen.
[What a hassle!] [In my previous life, all I had to do was crook a finger, and my four wives would find a suitable soul beast for me and make it willingly sacrifice itself!] [Unlike now, where I actually have to enter the Star Dou Great Forest myself.
What a disgrace!] Ning Wen remained expressionless.
His heart had long since gone numb.
Here we go again.
Did this voice pack really feel uncomfortable if it couldn’t show off for even a single day?
Just then— Chen Xin suddenly stopped!
His usually indifferent eyes, cold as a sword, suddenly erupted with an intense flash of astonishment.
His voice carried undisguised disbelief as he exclaimed, “Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear!” “Why would such a powerful soul beast appear on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest?” He raised his eyes and stared intently into the depths of the dark forest ahead, his brows tightly furrowed in confusion.
The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear!
One of the most powerful soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Known as the Earth-Splitting Terror Claw, it possessed an incredibly powerful physique, devastating claw strength, and an exceptionally fierce temperament!
“Who cares why it’s here?” Ning Fengzhi’s eyes immediately lit up.
“The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear is extremely suitable for Xiao Wen.” The four of them no longer hesitated and quickly darted toward the depths of the forest.
The woodland ahead suddenly opened up, revealing a huge clearing covered in exposed rock.
At the center of the clearing stood a massive, ferocious beast.
It was a giant bear covered entirely in dark-gold fur, standing more than three meters tall.
The most terrifying feature was its forearms.
At their ends were a pair of razor-sharp dark-gold claws, each one more than a meter long.
[Oh?
A Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear?] [Barely worth looking at.] [It would be even better if it were a Behemoth!] [Still, having one is better than having nothing, right?] Ning Wen rolled his eyes.
Good grief, he’s even complaining now.
This was a Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear!
And in your mouth, it’s only barely acceptable?
And you want a Behemoth!
That was a monster that fed on dragons and possessed strength comparable to a divine official of the God Realm once it reached adulthood.
“It’s approaching 2,000 years old.” Chen Xin’s gaze narrowed slightly as his spiritual power carefully swept over the giant bear’s entire body.
Then he spoke.
Nearly 2,000 years!
The moment those words were spoken, the air fell silent.
Even Ning Wen was slightly stunned.
He had originally planned to find a soul beast that was just over 1,000 years old.
He never expected to run straight into a Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear that was nearly 2,000 years old.
[Nearly 2,000 years?
That’s way too low!] [It’s completely unworthy of my status.] [Forget it.
No matter what, it’s still better than that little tiger from before.
I will reluctantly accept it.] Ning Wen: “…” Ning Fengzhi: “…” Chen Xin: “…” Gu Rong: “…” Seriously, this guy was way too good at pretending.
“Uncle Sword, make your move.” Ning Fengzhi had already given up on asking for Ning Wen’s opinion and spoke directly to Chen Xin.
Chen Xin nodded and charged straight toward the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear.
Although this Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear was only 2,000 years old, the combat prowess of its species was astonishing.
It was powerful enough to rival a 10,000-year soul beast.
The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear’s enormous body suddenly tensed!
Its savage eyes locked onto Chen Xin as instinctive fear swept through its entire body.
It could clearly sense just how terrifying the human before it was.
But the ferocity innate to this natural overlord among beasts prevented it from simply lowering itself and submitting.
A deep, thunderous roar exploded through the forest, making the surrounding trees tremble!
The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear viciously raked the ground with its dark-gold claws.
Rocks flew everywhere as the earth cracked beneath its feet!
“So this is the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear?” Chen Xin murmured.
“Indeed, it’s terrifying.
If it reached a 100,000-year level, even I would probably have no choice but to avoid its edge.” He raised a finger slightly.
A faint pressure of the sword quietly descended.
Buzz— The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, which had been displaying overwhelming ferocity only moments ago, suddenly froze.
Its four limbs went weak.
With a thunderous crash, its massive body dropped heavily to its knees!
Every muscle throughout its body spasmed violently.
Its razor-sharp dark-gold claws dug desperately into the ground, yet it no longer possessed even the strength to raise its head.
