Wang Zhan roared, his huge bear paw enveloped in a thick yellow light, his second soul ring lit up, and an even more powerful soul skill was brewing. But he knew that the wind wolf was too fast, and even if he pounced with all his might, he might not be able to catch up!
"Get back!"
Li Fugui also panicked and tried to use his shield to knock Lin Xia away, but the wind wolf's impact trajectory was extremely tricky!
A close call!
Faced with this attack, which was more direct and ruthless than the first, Lin Xia's heart almost jumped out of her throat! Her blood seemed to be roaring in her ears!
He could clearly feel the foul, hot air and the aura of death surging from the throat of that enormous mouth!
hide?
The speed difference is too great!
block?
The sturdy defense of the arm vine shield was almost breached just now. The bite force of the wind wolf's frenzied attack was absolutely unstoppable by the vine arm shield!
The blue silver grass within the jade pendant's space seemed to be calling out anxiously, conveying some vague will...
Just as the wolf's sharp teeth were about to touch Lin Xia's hair, Zhang Meng's leopard claws, gleaming with cold light, ripped down from the air in an attempt to save her, but it seemed to be a step too late—
A fleeting moment of hesitation crossed Lin Xia's eyes, which was then replaced by an almost instinctive resolve!
Instead of retreating, he advanced!
The soul power and mental power that had just recovered in his body surged wildly toward the nurturing jade pendant in his mind!
This is not about stimulating the growth of vines for defense, but a more primal and direct call—a call to the countless Blue Silver Grasses in the space that are connected to him by blood and share his life!
"Buzz—!"
A layer of extremely weak yet exceptionally solid and flexible force field appeared out of thin air without warning, centered on Lin Xia's body!
This force field is invisible and intangible, yet it carries a powerful life force, like an incredibly tough air barrier!
The wind wolf's massive jaws, filled with sharp teeth, viciously bit into this invisible barrier!
"Sizzle—click!"
A piercing screeching sound rang out!
It's like biting into a piece of super-tough, elastic rubber!
The wind wolf's teeth went numb from the powerful reaction force, and its attempt to forcefully close its jaws was forcibly blocked and slid open by this flexible force!
Lin Xia could even feel the airflow generated by the wolf's bite on her face!
But his body remained completely still, as if rooted to the earth!
"What?!"
Wang Zhan, who was about to unleash his second soul skill, suddenly froze, his bull-like eyes wide open!
"this!?"
Zhang Meng's pupils contracted sharply in the tree, and his outstretched leopard paw stopped in mid-air!
"Oh my god!"
Fatty Li Fugui gasped, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
Lin Xia had already impressed him by blocking the claw attack earlier, but this time she even managed to block the wind wolf's desperate bite?
Or in this bizarre way?
The wind wolf was completely dumbfounded!
Its full-force bite not only failed to tear the weak human apart, but instead felt like it was biting into an incredibly tough and elastic clump of grass. Not only did it fail to bite through, but the enormous force was also completely absorbed and neutralized by the elasticity!
A subtle sense of panic originating from the level of life itself, mixed with fear of the unknown power, instantly overwhelmed its ferocity!
This human...something's not right!
In that instant of stalemate and the moment when everyone was stunned, Wang Zhan's second soul skill, which he had been accumulating, finally erupted! The timing was perfect!
"Suppress! Second Soul Skill—Earth Shattering Collapse!"
His massive bear body leaped high into the air, his two enormous paws, covered in thick brown fur, came together and were raised high, with a vortex of violent, earth-yellow soul power gathering in his palms.
With the force of a small mountain, it crashed down fiercely onto the head of the wind wolf below, whose body was slightly swayed by the backlash!
Boom! ...
A dull, thunderous roar exploded through the forest!
The ground trembled violently, and soil, grass clippings, and gravel sprayed out in a ring from the spot where Wang Zhan landed!
A visible shockwave swept outwards!
Lin Xia's strangely resilient barrier rippled slightly under the aftershock of this powerful impact, yet it remained as solid as a rock, protecting him within it.
The smoke and dust cleared.
A noticeable crater appeared beneath Wang Zhan's feet, and at the bottom lay the wind wolf, its skull shattered, blood flowing from its seven orifices, and countless bones broken throughout its body. It lay there limply, already dead.
A bright yellow spirit ring was slowly condensing and rising from the corpse.
Wang Zhan exhaled a heavy puff of white air, slowly shrinking back to human form. His chest rose and fell slightly, and his powerful aura gradually subsided.
He turned his head and looked at Lin Xia, who was protected by that strange force field and was completely unharmed, with a complicated expression.
Although that invisible barrier only appeared for a moment, with his Great Soul Master perception, he clearly sensed the immense life force and unique resilience contained within it.
"Kid..."
Wang Zhan's voice, tinged with inquiry and deep doubt, broke the deathly silence of the forest.
"What exactly was that thing you just did?"
Zhang Meng, Li Fugui, and Lao Zhou all focused their attention on Lin Xia, their shock and disbelief palpable.
Blue Silver Grass, a useless martial soul?
This method looks incredibly sinister!
This kid has some big secrets!
Adding to that his innate full soul power, they even began to suspect that this kid might be a disciple from some hidden family or sect who had come out to train.
As Lin Xia looked at the gradually stabilizing yellow spirit ring and felt the Blue Silver Grass within the jade pendant space, which had weakened slightly due to the brief burst of power but was still closely connected to him, continuously providing support and warmth, his mind became clear.
Lin Xia knew that he had taken the first step in verifying the direction of his martial soul, but it was far from enough!
After a long pause, Lin Xia looked at Wang Zhan with a calm and composed expression, and slowly withdrew the invisible life force field:
"It's nothing, just... I only scratched the surface of Blue Silver Grass's true power."
? ? ? ? ? ?
The four of them were filled with doubt and confusion after hearing this.
What is the true power of Blue Silver Grass?
They could understand all the words, but when put together, they just didn't seem to fit together at all; it just didn't make sense no matter how you looked at it!
When did Blue Silver Grass, a useless martial soul, ever have power...?
However, seeing Lin Xia's appearance, they didn't say anything.
After all, who hasn't dreamed when they were young?
However, that force just now was indeed strange. It didn't even have a soul skill, yet it was able to release that kind of protective shield!
But now was not the time to think about that. After quickly collecting the fur and claws from the wind wolf, the group urged Lin Xia to leave quickly.
"Let's go, the commotion just now will definitely attract some soul beasts!"
Lin Xia nodded, forcing herself to keep up with the others despite her weakened state.
The group of five walked for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn when Wang Zhan, who was in the lead, suddenly stopped and pointed to a clump of plants that looked like dandelions.
"Kid, you're in luck. This spirit beast's spirit ring should meet your requirements for life and reproduction attributes!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xia's heart stirred. Looking at the clump of plants not far away, she subconsciously asked:
"Brother Wang, what kind of spirit beast is that?"
A slight smile appeared on Wang Zhan's lips.
"A thousand fluffy downy feathers!"
