Chapter 202 Successful Contract, Four Soul Skills of a 100,000-Year-Old Soul!
Meanwhile, on the other side, Liu Yuan's side...
The gray energy orb gradually contracted and eventually disappeared into Liu Yuan's brow.
The chilling air in the open space receded, replaced by a calm, undulating spiritual energy.
Electrolux's figure appeared from the void. He glanced at Liu Yuan, nodded, and then disappeared into the depths of his consciousness.
"it's over."
Poison-Free's constantly tense nerves finally relaxed at this moment.
He walked quickly to Liu Yuan's side and looked him up and down.
Although he had already witnessed Long Aotian's success, this time Liu Yuan had contracted a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Even he couldn't help but feel emotional ups and downs before the final result was revealed.
"How are you feeling?" Poison Immortal asked.
Liu Yuan opened his eyes, a barely perceptible gray shadow flashing in his deep purple pupils before returning to calm.
He stood up with a faint smile and patted the dust off his robes.
"It went pretty well, more smoothly than expected."
He had barely finished speaking when a thought struck him.
A grayish-brown, semi-transparent spirit floated out from his forehead and hovered steadily beside him.
This is the soul of the Destroyer Beast.
It had no physical form, but its grayish-white eyes were lively. It circled around Liu Yuan's shoulder and finally stopped on his shoulder, rubbing its illusory head against his cheek.
The Destroyer Beast seemed quite satisfied.
It could clearly sense that although it had lost its physical body that was constantly facing lightning tribulations, its current state was incredibly stable, and it had developed a deep connection with the human in front of it.
Du Bu Si looked at this scene with a satisfied expression.
Long Aotian stepped forward, the spirit of the Earth-Splitting Rhinoceros still perched on his shoulder.
He looked at the small beast on Liu Yuan's shoulder, which exuded an aura of destruction, with a keen interest in his eyes.
"Is this the soul of the Destruction Beast? It does look rather special." Long Aotian patted his shoulder.
"Junior brother, now that the contract has been successfully formed, what skills did this 100,000-year-old soul spirit give you? Mine gave me three skills, and since yours is a 100,000-year-old soul spirit, it can't only have three, right?"
Liu Yuan turned his head, a playful smile on his lips: "Senior brother, if I said I have four, wouldn't you think that's unfair?"
Long Aotian was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter: "What's so unfair about your talent? Show it to me, I also want to see what kind of power this 100,000-year-old soul spirit has."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother." Liu Yuan nodded. "We need to test the skill's effectiveness in actual combat on a target."
Long Aotian raised an eyebrow and assumed a defensive stance: "Come on then."
"Then let's try the first soul skill, Mental Suppression."
Liu Yuan murmured, while the eyes of the Destruction Beast spirit beside him flickered with gray light.
Almost instantly, Long Aotian felt an invisible pressure descend upon him.
The pressure wasn't directed at his physical body, but rather acted directly on his internal organs.
He clearly felt that the dark golden soul power flowing through his meridians had become unusually viscous at this moment.
His soul power, which had been surging like a river, seemed to freeze in an instant, its flow rate suddenly decreasing, causing him to feel sluggish when he tried to mobilize his power to counterattack.
"Is this mental suppression?" Long Aotian clenched his fist. Although he was still moving, the sluggish feeling of power transmission made him very uncomfortable.
"It not only restricted the flow of soul power, but also slowed down my reaction speed by a beat."
Poison Undying observed from the side and nodded approvingly: "Good skill. Although a single suppression is not too strong, if it is released first in battle, it is enough to disrupt the enemy's offensive rhythm and create a huge opening."
Liu Yuan removed his suppression, and Long Aotian regained his strength.
"Don't rush, this is just the first one," Liu Yuan said. "The second one is coming up next. Didn't I say before that the main purpose of this soul skill is to neutralize the power of other soul skills? Senior brother, test me with a soul skill."
Without further hesitation, Long Aotian stretched out his right arm, and the dark golden drill instantly took shape.
"Watch out! Ground Split!"
He held nothing back and launched a surprise attack directly on Liu Yuan.
Just as Long Aotian's soul skill was about to erupt, Liu Yuan raised his right hand and pointed in the direction of Long Aotian.
"Destruction Beast, Second Soul Skill: See Through Illusion".
Strange things happened.
The dark golden soul power that had gathered on Long Aotian's arm disintegrated and vanished the moment it touched Liu Yuan, like snow meeting the blazing sun. The earth-shattering horn attack was forcibly interrupted before it could unleash its full power, and the soul power circuit was directly severed.
Due to the backlash from his soul skill, Long Aotian staggered back two steps, but fortunately, he had strong self-control and quickly regained his balance.
The air fell silent.
Long Aotian's eyes widened, while Du Busi's brow twitched suddenly.
"Directly interrupting a soul skill?" Poison Undying's tone changed slightly. "This not only dissipates soul power, but also directly destroys the soul power structure. The practical value of this skill is too high."
Liu Yuan looked at Long Aotian and said calmly, "Although there is only a two-second gap, at this level, two seconds is enough to decide the outcome."
"There are a third and a fourth."
Liu Yuan signaled the Destruction Beast to continue its actions.
"Third Soul Skill, Spiritual Protection."
A pale gray protective shield rose up around Liu Yuan's body.
Poison Undying casually unleashed a burst of soul power, striking the protective barrier. The barrier only rippled a few times and did not shatter.
"Finally, the fourth soul skill, Mental Power."
Liu Yuan's eyes lit up.
In that instant, he felt his mental consciousness expand instantly, his perception range doubled, and his control over the surrounding energy particles increased by 80% in a short period of time.
The entire test lasted about half an hour.
Long Aotian and Du Busi looked at Liu Yuan, their emotions overflowing.
"Soul power quality, tactical interruption, defensive power, mental amplification…" Long Aotian shook his head, "Junior brother, with your original abilities, your current strength has indeed reached an unfathomable level."
Poison Undying was also pleased, as this increase in power meant that the Body Sect had a more solid foundation in the upcoming turmoil.
Liu Yuangang was about to respond when he prepared to pack his things and head back.
However, in that instant, his previously calm expression suddenly turned somber.
He subconsciously raised his head and looked into the depths of the glacier crevasse.
The air, which had been relatively clear just moments before, changed in that instant.
An extremely cold and corrosive evil aura surged forth from the abyss like a tidal wave.
It was chaotic, evil, as if it shouldn't exist in this world.
It sent a chill down my spine.
