Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1407 - 407: Full Moon on the Fifteenth
Boom... Boom... Boom...
Invisible blasts echoed continually in the air.
It was the clash of Soul Power.
"Hiss." Xiao Yi suddenly gasped.
His Soul Power was vastly inferior to this Soul Beast in front of him.
In the confrontation of Soul Power, he was entirely on the losing side.
The collision and backlash from the Soul Power made his head feel like it was being pierced by needles, naturally causing him to gasp.
It’s obvious that when Xiao Yi initially obtained the ’Soul Thought Technique’ and ’Burning Silence’ Martial Technique, he was only at the Earth Extreme Realm.
Since then, he hadn’t really cultivated the path of the Soul Master.
Naturally, his Soul Power couldn’t be strong.
Yet the Soul Beast before him possessed the strength of a demon beast at the Saint Emperor Realm based solely on Soul Power.
By merely comparing Soul Power, they were on entirely different levels.
However, despite the Soul Beast clearly having the upper hand, it was trembling in fear.
Because around its body, countless Star Sword lights were firmly suppressing it.
Being a Soul Beast, it was even more sensitive than typical demon beasts.
It distinctly felt that even one of these Star Sword lights could easily take its life.
Not to mention the thousands of Star Sword lights surrounding its body now.
It had no doubt that these Star Sword lights could turn it into a sieve in an instant.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi suddenly murmured.
"Why retract your Soul Power?"
Xiao Yi stared directly at the Soul Beast, his indifferent eyes carrying displeasure.
The Saint Emperor Realm Soul Beast, which clearly had the upper hand, shivered instantly.
Its fierce and enormous eyes now revealed panic.
Not far away, Guu Lianxing covered her mouth with a smile, "It’s my first time seeing such a beast so lacking in backbone."
Gongsun Huowu sneered, "Little thief, you only bully others, no—bully demon beasts?".
"With your mediocre Soul Power, if you dared to be so arrogant, you’d have already been swallowed by this Soul Beast."
Xiao Yi, his head blackened with disdain, couldn’t be bothered with the two of them.
His helpless gaze still focused on the Soul Beast. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"Release your Soul Power and fight with me." Xiao Yi said in a deep voice.
"If I’m satisfied, I’ll let you go afterward."
He wanted to use these two days to train his Soul Power.
If the demon beast didn’t confront him, how could he train?
Although killing the demon beast and directly acquiring the Soul Pill, an elixir, had great effectiveness in enhancing Soul Power cultivation.
But the path of the Soul Master also had the Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Rules, not simply having enough Soul Power to advance.
Like normal martial arts, martial artists, besides having sufficient Primordial Power, need enough Martial Arts Insights to breakthrough in cultivation.
Xiao Yi, in the path of the Soul Master, had a realm and martial arts insight that at most was around the Earth Extreme Realm, Heavenly Extreme Realm.
Thus, even if he crafted Saint Emperor Realm-level Soul Pills, it was impossible to advance in the Soul Master cultivation.
On the other hand, if he wanted to hone his Soul Master level, the best opponent was a Soul Beast around the Earth Extreme Realm, Heavenly Extreme Realm.
Yet, he didn’t know where to find a Soul Beast of this level.
The weakest Soul Beasts in the Illusion Light Dangerous Land were above the Saint King Realm.
Therefore, whether in the depths or at the outer edge, it made no difference.
At this moment, the Soul Beast in front of him revealed a trace of hope in its fierce eyes.
Its instinct naturally distrusted Human Martial Artists.
But it currently had no choice.
It was very clear that angering the young human in front of it would only result in instant death.
In fear and surprise, it could only slowly release a trace of Soul Power.
Xiao Yi nodded in satisfaction and simultaneously released his Soul Power to engage it.
"Increase the level of Soul Power slightly." Xiao Yi shouted coldly.
The Soul Beast ’obediently’ increased the thickness of its Soul Power slightly.
For a while, Xiao Yi shouted softly, "Stop."
The intensified Soul Power in the air suddenly halted, staying at this level.
In Xiao Yi’s perception, this level was just around the Heavenly Extreme Realm, making it most suitable for him to hone himself.
"Hiss." Not long after, Xiao Yi gasped again.
The Soul Master’s methods, though strange, when suffering backlash, the inhuman pain was extremely hard to bear.
The feeling in his mind, as if pierced by ten thousand thin needles, was absolutely unpleasant.
But he distinctly felt that his level as a Soul Master was continually improving.
For martial artists, experiential training was a great way to enhance strength.
The same goes for Soul Masters, who, through extreme honing, could perceive the mysteries within Soul Power benefiting greatly.
Xiao Yi endured the pain while honing and also sensing and understanding the path of the Soul Master.
Not far off, Guu Lianxing watched Xiao Yi’s continually pained expression and shook her head.
After half a day.
Gongsun Huowu couldn’t help but speak, "Is the little thief a masochist?"
"I see the pained expression on his face, occasionally revealing a hint of joy, clearly he’s in pain but enjoying it."
Guu Lianxing shook her head and laughed lightly, "Young Master Xiao Yi is honing his Soul Master level."
"Besides, if you look closely, Young Master Xiao Yi’s face shows less and less pain."
"From initially gasping, to later just gritting his teeth and enduring, to now, although showing pain, not even a single groan has escaped."
"This proves that Young Master Xiao Yi is rapidly enhancing his Soul Master level."
"Rapidly?" Gongsun Huowu’s face revealed a trace of surprise.
"As far as I know, the cultivation along the path of the Soul Master is exceptionally difficult."
"Is this little thief sharpening his skills at the last moment and yet able to rapidly advance?"
"Doesn’t that mean...?"
"Yes." Guu Lianxing nodded, "Young Master Xiao Yi’s comprehension ability is extraordinarily terrifying."
"The term ’Supreme Monster’ fits him perfectly."
"In terms of comprehension and insight, I’ve never seen a martial artist of such a terrifying level."
Gongsun Huowu furrowed her brow, "Such a monster, yet expelled by the two major academies? Those old guys must be blind."
"But never mind." Gongsun Huowu suddenly showed a series of emotions, "I didn’t expect this little thief to be quite impressive."
Guu Lianxing glanced at Gongsun Huowu and suddenly covered her mouth with a light laugh.
...
Time gradually passed.
Xiao Yi continued using the Soul Beast to hone his Soul Master level.
In two days’ time, Xiao Yi’s Soul Master level kept rising through honing and insight; that Soul Beast also ’consciously’ continued to slowly increase the intensity of its Soul Power.
While Guu Lianxing and the others spent most of their time chatting.
Aside from a series of initial emotions, Gongsun Huowu mostly looked at Guu Lianxing with worry.
"Lianxing, is there really no way to completely cure you?" Gongsun Huowu’s tone was somewhat low.
Guu Lianxing smiled, "There is, but..."
"There is?" Gongsun Huowu’s beautiful eyes lit up.
Guu Lianxing smiled again without continuing.
Not far away, the clash of Soul Power in the air suddenly stopped.
Xiao Yi awakened from his insight and said solemnly, "If I’m not mistaken, now that two days have passed, right?"
Yes, guessed.
The confrontation and experiential training between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts often led to a state of insight.
Indeed, during insight, a martial artist’s Primordial Power and Soul Power automatically protect them, so there’s no need to worry about danger.
However, in this state, the passage of time isn’t very apparent.
"Yes, two days have passed." Guu Lianxing nodded.
Xiao Yi looked at the sky, which had already entered nightfall, with the moon full.
"The full moon of fifteen days, it’s time to see the truth." Xiao Yi murmured to himself.
...
Second update.
