Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts-Chapter 776 - 148: Soul Strike (Part 2) _1

Wen Yu paid no mind to the Demon Lord's thoughts, only focusing on sensing the changes within himself.

However, nothing had changed.

So, the process just now merely gave me ownership of a skill, but it didn't enhance my combat power at all, is that right?

"It was hugely helpful!"

"To make an analogy, the original Soul Strike was like a 'dead' program; you only had the right to use it. But now, this program has become your own. You not only have the right to use it but also the right to modify it."

"The reason this ability became one of my Core Skills is because of its supreme supportive effect!"

"Follow my instructions. Now, grasp the sphere of light that symbolizes dislimning (S-class, Active Skill)."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yu decisively reached out and grabbed another sphere of light.

The sphere of light writhed desperately in Wen Yu's hand but was powerless to escape.

The Demon Lord's voice sounded again.

"Soul Skills differ from skills in other categories in one way: Soul Skills can be integrated with the Soul Body using special means, but skills from other categories cannot be merged."

"Suppose the skill you just ingested was dislimning. In that case, your Soul Body would have only ended up exploding."

"However, through my research, I found a way to infuse skills from other categories into the Soul Body."

"That method is Soul Strike!"

"Now, press the sphere of light for dislimning against your Soul Body, and then use Soul Strike. Hmm…"

The Demon Lord paused, pondering.

"It's like forging iron—fusing two pieces together. I'm sure you understand what I mean."

A strange smile emerged on Wen Yu's face.

This analogy is indeed fitting...

BUZZZ.

Wen Yu pressed the sphere of light firmly against his chest. Simultaneously, his hand moved with rapid, powerful tremors. Waves of Soul Strikes surged rapidly towards both the sphere and his own body.

Pain constantly assaulted him—the experience of a Soul Body enduring Soul Strike was definitely not pleasant.

Fortunately, the Demon Lord's words proved true: the sphere of light representing dislimning visibly smashed into his body, where it was then digested and absorbed, just like the Soul Strike he had swallowed moments before.

Only after completing this step did Wen Yu breathe a heavy sigh of relief.

It worked, but what's its purpose?

"It's nothing major. It just enables you to use this ability while your soul is outside your body or in the Soul Battlefield."

The Demon Lord's casual remark, however, shocked Wen Yu.

"You mean, these skills..." Wen Yu pointed to the Pitch-dark Divine Light ahead. I can use them in the Soul Battlefield?

"Of course. Since the skills have been fused into your soul, why wouldn't you be able to use them in the Soul Battlefield?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Yu unhesitatingly reached for the other spheres of light in front of him.

Although the fusion process was time-consuming, it wasn't particularly difficult.

Never mind Pitch-dark Suction and Pitch-dark Divine Light; the fusion difficulty for Soul Battlefield was ridiculously low. After picking it up and merely pressing it against his body, Soul Battlefield had already merged into his Soul Body.

A few hours later, Wen Yu glanced at the empty space before him and then at the runes on his body: Soul Strike was on his left hand, Soul Battlefield on his forehead, and Pitch-dark Divine Light over his heart. As for Pitch-dark Suction and dislimning, Wen Yu had casually placed their runes in inconspicuous areas of his Soul Body.

Seeing the five runes on his body, Wen Yu nodded in satisfaction. Then, a question occurred to him.

In that case, if I want to forget and replace a skill...

"Use Soul Strike to tear off the rune representing that skill!" the Demon Lord responded. "It will be painful, but the effect is identical to a skill forgetting scroll. After replacing it with a new skill, just use the same steps as before to integrate it into your Soul Body. It's a simple process."

The Demon Lord's words put Wen Yu entirely at ease. Removing dislimning was already part of his plan.

After completing all these steps, Wen Yu slowly closed his eyes, and his consciousness began to drift.

The next moment, when Wen Yu opened his eyes, his consciousness had returned to the external world!

Everything before him was different from what he had just perceived with his Soul Perception.

The pure sphere of light remained as it was, emitting immense Energy Fluctuations and an astonishing brightness. Meanwhile, the Demon Lord's Soul Body beside him appeared somewhat blurry to Wen Yu. However, he could vaguely discern the dense, strange patterns on the Demon Lord—runes formed after skills were integrated into the Soul Body.

After a quick glance, Wen Yu immediately retracted his gaze.

Because, according to his perception, there weren't just seven runes...

Sighing inwardly, Wen Yu realized that everything the self-proclaimed "Demon" had said, done, and instructed was simply beyond what a Level 7 professionist could comprehend...

Wen Yu quickly suppressed these doubts deep within his heart.

Sometimes, feigning ignorance despite knowing the truth was the best approach.

Perhaps sensing the subtle shift in Wen Yu's expression, the Demon Lord sighed softly.

This carbon copy was too weak. Furthermore, the confrontation between another carbon copy, one from a higher level, and the Dominator had already put him at a significant disadvantage. The current Demon Lord truly lacked the energy and time to conceal the traces of skills on his body.

Slowly raising his hand, the Demon Lord gently pointed towards Wen Yu's soul pets.

"Take another look at them!"

Hearing this, Wen Yu turned his head to look.

The physical forms of Cyclops, Star, and Victor remained unchanged. However, on each of them, a brilliant white light flickered incessantly—these were their Soul Bodies. Similarly, five light spheres of varying sizes were arrayed around each soul pet's Soul Body.

"You can see their skills, can't you?"

Wen Yu nodded.

"Another function of Soul Battlefield is the ability to forcibly erase skills!"

"Erase skills?"

Wen Yu's brow twitched.

"Correct. You can directly attack an opponent's skills and permanently obliterate them!"

"This function might seem useless. However, suppose you encounter an extremely resilient opponent with multiple resurrection skills. You could first eliminate all their resurrection skills and then strike to kill!"

Like Tang Haofei...

Wen Yu thought to himself.

"Of course, this method has prerequisites, such as an active Soul Battlefield!"

After saying this, the Demon Lord's Soul Body slowly retreated two steps and returned to his physical body. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The next second, the Demon Lord slowly opened his eyes.
