53: The third soul skill, Earth-shattering Star

Quiet.

Deathly quiet.

Gulp, the sound of swallowing was so loud.

Oscar's eyes were staring so straight they almost formed a line, mumbling to himself.

"I think it's probably a good thing Dai Mubai fainted..."

"At least his little life was saved..."

"If he had taken that punch, I reckon he..."

Oscar didn't jinx it by saying the rest.

Tang San and Xiao Wu both knew what he meant, nodding silently to themselves, secretly glad Dai Mubai had been taken away by the Dean.

Otherwise... ten of his lives wouldn't be enough for that guy to play with!

Even Teacher Zhao, a Soul Sage, was beaten badly by this guy despite using three Soul Skills.

As a Soul Venerable, he would have been completely fodder!

The three looked at each other, seeing the awkwardness and helplessness in each other's eyes. It seemed... the academy had hit a hard wall this time.

Fortunately, this incident had nothing to do with them; they didn't have to step up for the academy and get beaten.

"Having hunted eagles all day, I didn't expect to have my eye pecked out by an eagle."

Crack, the wooden board was crushed into dust, the low voice like a devil whispering.

As the smoke and dust cleared, Zhao Wuji stumbled up, covering his chest, looking like he'd had the worst luck imaginable.

His bronze-like complexion was even darker, a stark contrast to the bloody red on his chest.

Clearly, Su Ye's strike just now had caused significant damage to his internal organs.

"Kid, what's your name?"

"To make me this wretched, you absolutely cannot be a three-ring Soul Venerable."

"If you're a man, show your true cultivation level!"

Zhao Wuji stared intently at Su Ye, his gaze seeming to say... if you haven't hidden your cultivation, I'll eat shit upside down today.

Three Soul Rings - yellow, yellow, purple - and over level thirty Soul Power...

With such a configuration, he's suppressing a Soul Sage like him without using Soul Skills?

The Soul Master world has never had such a monster, not even the previous generation's acknowledged number one, Tang Hao.

He wasn't sure if it could be done at the Soul King level, but it was absolutely impossible for Tang Hao at the Soul Venerable level.

More accurately, no one in the Soul Master world could possess such terrifying cross-level combat ability!

There's only one explanation: the young man in front of him has hidden his cultivation.

"Only the living are qualified to know, and that depends on whether you're worthy!"

Whoosh, the young man's arrogant words swept past like an autumn wind.

Su Ye couldn't be bothered with nonsense and attacked Zhao Wuji again, intending to finish the fight quickly, first dealing with the threat of Zhao Wuji, the Soul Sage.

"Kid, you're arrogant!!"

Seeing Su Ye being so disrespectful, the accumulation of old and new grudges made Zhao Wuji truly furious, abandoning his nascent appreciation for talent.

His pupils widened like an angry tiger's, releasing a cold, bloody killing intent. He completely unleashed his restraints, and even more terrifying energy erupted from his body.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The surrounding wooden houses were instantly engulfed by this energy. The extreme pressure was like a collapsing pillar of heaven, suffocating.

"This is... Martial Soul True Body?!"

Seeing this scene, Tang San immediately took Xiao Wu and Oscar and darted into the distance.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced worriedly at Su Ye. Having been pushed back by the terrifying Soul Power, she took the opportunity to increase the distance, landing a hundred meters away.

Boom—!

The brilliant golden energy was like burning flames, enveloping the entire square. The entire academy seemed to sink slightly.

A corner of the academy.

Flander, who was having Shao Xin treat Dai Mubai, looked through the window at the magnificent golden light, his expression exceptionally startled and horrified.

"Wuji, he... he actually used his Martial Soul True Body?"

Flander mumbled dreamily, feeling like he was in a dream.

Zhao Wuji's seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Body, allowed him to use Soul Skills below the seventh ring without limit for thirty minutes.

Its power was 150% of the original, his own defense increased by 200%, and it was also his strongest Soul Skill.

But this Soul Skill had a special characteristic: after each use, his own attributes would be weakened by 50%, requiring seven days to recover.

Unless he encountered an unbeatable opponent, Zhao Wuji would absolutely not use it.

"Shao Xin, you look after Mubai, I'm going to take a look!"

Throwing a sentence at Shao Xin, Flander didn't wait for a response before hurrying away.

Seeing Flander so anxious, a round and honest man in a chef's uniform in the wooden house had a somewhat strange look in his small, bean-like eyes.

"Has the academy offended someone again?"

Shaking his head, he didn't think too much about it and gave Dai Mubai another spirit power recovery candy bean. With Flander and Zhao Wuji there, the problem should be completely solvable.

The view returned to the square.

The fierce wind lashed against his body, Su Ye's black clothes fluttered, and the heavy pressure caused his feet to sink into the ground.

In front of him, a majestic golden bear was currently occupying the square.

Its five-meter-tall physique was like a small mountain, its powerful palms giving off unimaginable destructive power, a killing machine built entirely for war.

Zhao Wuji's body was now enveloped in brilliant golden energy. The muscles on his arms had swollen, already resembling the appearance of a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

"Soul Sage, truly a watershed for Soul Masters!"

Su Ye couldn't help but praise inwardly, his eyes sharp as he looked at the giant golden bear.

Under Martial Soul True Body, Zhao Wuji's strength had increased almost explosively.

Even a Soul King would likely find it difficult to move under this power.

"Mighty Vajra Bear True Body, the defense increase is too much. My strength and Soul Power will probably be offset."

Offense is useless!!

"Unless!!"

"Unleash the second stage of Heavenly Dipper Divine Fist!"

Clearly understanding what unleashing the second stage of Heavenly Dipper Divine Fist meant, that kind of fighting style was harming oneself by three hundred while killing a thousand enemies.

Su Ye endured the pressure, relying on his physical strength to support the Golden Phoenix and fly into the air.

"Get down here!!"

Zhao Wuji roared furiously at the sky, his second Soul Skill beneath his feet pulsating wildly again.

The amplified gravity enhancement was even more terrifying. In the void, ethereal black chains wrapped around Su Ye's body, his speed suddenly plummeting.

Immediately after, even more terrifying pressure came from all directions, like six heavy city walls closing in, intending to crush Su Ye into a meat patty.

No matter how the Golden Phoenix Martial Soul flapped and flew, using wind element enhancement, Su Ye's figure was firmly fixed in mid-air, even showing a faint downward trend.

Damn it!

Are Soul Skills free to use?

Su Ye felt a bit envious in his heart. He was currently worried about not having enough Soul Skill uses and secretly swore that when he got his Martial Soul True Body, he must get this Soul Ring.

Wouldn't that mean... using Soul Skills from hundreds of thousands of years at will?

Su Ye's eyes were shining with excitement.

Boom—!

Two gravity Soul Skills were unleashed under Martial Soul True Body. It felt like he was carrying a small mountain, about to be suppressed back to the ground.

At this moment, Su Ye couldn't think any further. His third Soul Ring beneath his feet pulsed rapidly, and a black stream of air began to erupt within the purple.

"Zhao Wuji, you think only you can control gravity?!"

Su Ye's eyes were indifferent, staring at Zhao Wuji as if looking at a dead person.

He saw his third Soul Ring beneath his feet split into three.

One Soul Ring directly enveloped Zhao Wuji.

Another sank into the ground, forming a dark black gravity vortex, firmly pinning down Zhao Wuji's Mighty Vajra Bear Martial Soul.

Su Ye raised his hands high. The soil and boulders within a hundred meters seemed to be summoned, flying towards the sky with an unstoppable momentum.

The surface was stripped bare, the grass was blown away, and even houses were splitting apart.

Rumbling! Rumbling! The earth and rocks continuously squeezed and compressed, a ten-meter diameter rock star Bang Bang in mid-air, like a lit bomb ready to "bang" and explode at any moment.

Earth Crack Heavenly Star, Fall—!
