After searching for several dozen days, Yan discovered a soul beast on the surface of a frozen lake a massive creature surrounded by faint, distorted light and shadow.
This soul beast was over seven meters long, its entire body covered in scales, each resembling a small mirror.
Yan knew that this was a Mirror Shadow Beast.
The three of them stopped in their tracks.
"That's a Mirror Shadow Beast with a cultivation of twenty thousand years. Lingling, get readyvuse it for your soul ring."
Lowering his voice, Yan quickly signaled to Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling beside him, while soul power surged within him, readying for the upcoming battle.
Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er frowned slightly, then smiled brightly.
"Brother Yan, then let's make this a quick battle."
"Mm."
Without another word, Yan and Shui Bing'er sprang into action in perfect coordination, flanking the Mirror Shadow Beast from the left and right.
Yan was surrounded by flames, like the descent of a Fire God. His blazing soul power melted the surrounding ice and snow into steam, forming a curtain of fire that attempted to restrict the Mirror Shadow Beast's movement.
On the other side, Shui Bing'er also launched her attack. Countless ice spikes shot toward the massive Mirror Shadow Beast.
Seeing this, the Mirror Shadow Beast didn't choose direct confrontation. Instead, its form flickered and split into dozens of shadowy images, instantly scattering and making it difficult to tell real from fake.
This was its signature move Mirror Shadow Clone.
Yan wasn't flustered.
He also possessed a clone skill himself.
He knew that there was a difference between clones and the true body.
The Mirror Shadow Beast's clones could only display eighty percent of the original's power.
Relying on his powerful spiritual sense, Yan swiftly locked onto the beast's true body.
As he activated his eighth soul ring and his one-hundred-thousand-year left arm soul bone, his Gravity Domain suddenly expanded, enveloping the Mirror Shadow Beast's true body and all its clones.
Tenfold gravity bore down on the massive creature, slowing its movements instantly.
"Bing'er, the one on the far left is the real one."
"Got it."
Understanding immediately, Shui Bing'er unleashed her Ice Seal skill. The power of Extreme Ice instantly froze the Mirror Shadow Beast and all its clones within the Gravity Domain.
The true body's massive head was deliberately left exposed.
Under the dual restraints of the Gravity Domain and Ice Seal, it was immobilized, its eyes filled with fear and despair.
"Lingling, go kill it."
"Okay."
Ye Lingling didn't hesitate. Gripping a sharp, frost-glinting sword, she charged at the Mirror Shadow Beast.
Under Yan's control, the gravity acting on Ye Lingling was weakened tenfold. She shot toward the beast like an arrow released from the bow.
Her icy blue sword slashed fiercely, cutting through the Mirror Shadow Beast's throat. Blue blood sprayed out in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, the beast's clones vanished.
As the Gravity Domain and icy energy receded, the massive creature collapsed onto the thick ice with a dull thud.
"Brother Yan, Bing'er, thank you."
Ye Lingling looked at the two before her, her eyes filled with gratitude.
She knew that Mirror Shadow Beasts were extremely rare and powerful ice-attribute soul beasts. With her own strength, she wouldn't be able to kill even one with a few thousand years of cultivation, let alone a twenty-thousand-year one.
But with Yan and Shui Bing'er's help, it had become so simple.
Shui Bing'er smiled slightly.
"Lingling, why be so polite? Go absorb its soul ring—we'll guard you."
"Alright."
A black mist slowly rose from the Mirror Shadow Beast's corpse, gradually condensing into a spirit ring radiating black light.
Ye Lingling walked beneath the spirit ring. After adjusting her state, she began to absorb it.
Not long after, Yan suddenly sensed a surge of soul power rapidly approaching.
"Bing'er, be careful, someone's coming."
"Mm."
The two of them looked around vigilantly, ready for battle.
The fluctuation of soul power grew stronger and stronger.
Yan sensed that it wasn't just one or two people, but a whole group of soul masters.
Sure enough, moments later, a group of people appeared before Yan and Shui Bing'er.
Yan scanned them with his eyes and saw that there were thirteen people in total.
Those people looked aggressive, their eyes fixed on the Mirror Shadow Beast's corpse and the spirit ring Ye Lingling was absorbing.
One of them suddenly spoke:
"Captain, that's the Mirror Shadow Beast we've been tracking for a month. They actually killed it."
"Yeah, it's such a waste that they got to it first!"
Another chimed in, full of resentment and indignation.
The captain was a middle-aged man around fifty years old.
Yan could sense that he was a Soul Sage-level soul master.
The other twelve were Soul Kings and Soul Emperors.
The captain looked at Ye Lingling who was absorbing the spirit ring, then sighed:
"Forget it, the Mirror Shadow Beast has already been killed by them. It's not easy for these three young people to come to the Ice Bound Forest either. Let's not make things difficult for them. We'll go find another soul beast."
Just as the captain finished speaking, voices of dissent immediately followed.
"Captain, we can't just let this go."
"Yeah, Captain, that's a soul beast we tracked for a whole month. We can't let them take advantage of it. They should at least pay a price hand over some treasures."
One man asked viciously:
"Hey, do you two have any treasures?! Hand them over, and we won't make this difficult."
Yan chuckled disdainfully.
"I've got plenty of treasures on me. Do you have what it takes to take them?"
Provoked and ignored by Yan, that man was furious.
"You brat, you're tired of living! I'll kill you!"
As he spoke, he released his Martial Soul.
"Look, that seems like a soul bone!"
Someone suddenly shouted in surprise.
Everyone's gaze focused on the Mirror Shadow Beast's corpse. A faint light was visible from its neck.
Seeing the greed in their eyes, Yan said:
"Bing'er, protect Lingling. I'll handle them."
"Okay, Brother Yan, be careful."
"Don't worry, it'll be fine."
Before those people could attack, Yan quickly released his Martial Soul.
Seeing the giant wrapped in blazing red-gold flames, everyone froze.
They didn't expect that the young man before them was actually a fire-type soul master.
Most soul masters who came to the Ice Bound Forest to hunt soul beasts were of the ice element. Ordinary soul masters couldn't even withstand the cold here.
"Don't underestimate him. He's not easy to deal with," someone suddenly said.
Yan looked at that person and said coldly:
"Oscar, so it's you."
Everyone turned to Oscar in surprise.
"Oscar is your real name? You know him?"
"Mm, he's from Spirit Hall. He's pretty strong."
"Hmph! A soul master barely in his twenties—how strong could he be?! There are thirteen of us! Kill him and take the soul bone!"
As soon as the man spoke, the group surged forward, surrounding Yan, Shui Bing'er, and Ye Lingling who was still absorbing the spirit ring.
"Xiao Ao, don't go over there."
