Chapter 61 Zhao Wujie's Killing Intent, Fourth Soul Skill - Three Thousand Thunderclaps!
What if... what if this boy were no longer here?
If the entity that suppressed the Shrek Seven Devils disappeared, would these children be able to continue their path to genius?
Zhao Wujie's heart skipped a beat.
He knew the idea was terrible.
But he knew even better what kind of person he was.
He was never a good person.
Back in the Soul Master world, he was a ruthless killer, infamous and hunted by countless people.
He only calmed down a bit after being taken in by Flander.
But deep down, he was still the ruthless and cruel Immovable King.
For these children, for Shrek's future....
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
He would take him hostage first, and then find another opportunity after they left the Star Dou Great Forest...
Kill!
Zhao Wujie took a deep breath, suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind.
The most important thing now was to capture the boy and escape from the Titan Ape.
As for what happened next... he would talk about that later!
What are you standing there for?
Ye Tianchen's voice came from the Titan Ape's shoulder, tinged with a smile.
"Weren't you going to arrest me? Come on then."
Zhao Wujie gritted his teeth, temporarily suppressing the shock and killing intent in his heart.
So what if he had a ten-thousand-year soul ring? No matter how strong the soul ring was, it couldn't change the fact that he was just a Spirit Master!
He was a Soul Saint! There was a full three major realms of difference between them!
"Kid, arrogance comes at a price!"
He pushed off with his feet and charged towards Ye Tianchen like a cannonball!
The second spirit ring lit up—Mighty Vajra Palm!
A pair of enormous bear paw phantoms appeared in his hands, glowing with a dark golden light and carrying enough power to split rocks and shatter stone, as they slammed down towards Ye Tianchen!
This strike was enough to turn a thousand-year-old soul beast into mincemeat!
However, the next second—
"laugh!"
Zhao Wujie's bear paw pierced through Ye Tianchen's body!
But.....
There were no screams.
There was no blood.
There wasn't even a real feeling of it penetrating flesh.
Zhao Wujie was stunned.
The Mighty Vajra Palm struck the target squarely, yet he felt no resistance whatsoever!
It was like... slapping thin air!
Just as he was lost in thought, a faint voice came from behind him.
"The power is sufficient, but unfortunately, the speed is a bit slow."
The sound was very soft, yet it exploded in Zhao Wujie's ears like a thunderclap!
Zhao Wujie suddenly turned around!
Three feet behind him, on the grass, Ye Tianchen stood there unharmed, looking at him with a half-smile.
And in front of him, the "Ye Tianchen" he had pierced through was slowly dissipating.
Afterimage!
An afterimage caused by excessive speed!
Zhao Wujie's pupils suddenly contracted!
So fast!
What kind of speed was that?!
He was a Soul Saint! Even if he wasn't an agility-type Soul Master, his speed was comparable to that of an ordinary Soul Emperor!
And this young man, a four-ring Soul Master, was so fast that he couldn't even hit his afterimage?!
The Shrek members were completely dumbfounded.
They didn't even see what happened! They only saw Zhao Wujie strike out with his palm, and then the boy appeared behind him!
Ma Hongjun rubbed his eyes, then rubbed them again, thinking he was seeing things.
"Afterimage...?"
His voice was trembling.
"What kind of speed is that?"
Dai Mubai's cold smile froze on his face. He suddenly realized that if he were facing this boy, he probably wouldn't even be able to touch the hem of his clothes.
"Zhu Qing, your speed..."
Oscar looked at Zhu Zhuqing, the only agility-type Soul Master in the team, and received only a slight shake of the head in response.
Let alone keeping up with Ye Tianchen's speed, she couldn't even see his movements clearly...
"Kid, don't get cocky!"
Zhao Wujie took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
So what if he was fast? He had plenty of ways to deal with fast enemies!
The third spirit ring lit up! The fifth spirit ring lit up!
Third Soul Skill - Gravity Enhancement!
Fifth Soul Skill - Gravity Compression!
Two area-of-effect soul skills were activated simultaneously! Centered on Zhao Wujie, the gravity within a radius of thirty feet suddenly surged!
The air seemed to freeze, and an invisible pressure pressed down on Ye Tianchen from all directions! The ground began to crack, the surrounding trees creaked, and branches as thick as an arm snapped off!
This was Zhao Wujie's signature move, specifically designed to counter fast enemies! No matter how fast someone was, they couldn't go any faster in a gravity field!
However--
The next second, Zhao Wujie's expression froze.
In his mental perception, the golden figure was still as fast as lightning!
The gravitational field had no effect on him! The pressure that would have made it impossible for an ordinary Soul Master to move an inch fell on him like a gentle breeze!
He moved freely through the gravitational field, like a fish swimming in water!
In his ears, there was the howling sound of thunder.
In his eyes, there was golden lightning.
But Zhao Wujie couldn't catch him!
He couldn't detect him at all!
"How is this possible?!"
Zhao Wujie exclaimed in disbelief.
His third soul skill could increase gravity fivefold! His fifth soul skill could stack triple compression! With the combination of the two, even a Soul Emperor-level agility-type Soul Master would be 70% slower!
But this boy.....
He was completely unaffected?!
However, what Zhao Wujie didn't know was that his soul skill was not without effect on Ye Tianchen. Once Ye Tianchen was hit, his speed would also be greatly reduced.
But the prerequisite was that he had to be able to hit Ye Tianchen.
"You can't hit me."
Ye Tianchen's voice came from all directions, elusive and unpredictable.
Zhao Wujie's expression turned ugly.
He, the mighty Immovable King, a level 76 Soul Saint, was actually completely outmaneuvered by a level 40 Soul Master?!
The Shrek members exchanged bewildered glances, all seeing shock in each other's eyes.
Was this still the Teacher Zhao they knew? The Teacher Zhao who could send a Five-Ring Soul King flying with a single slap?
Dai Mubai suddenly realized that his talent, which he had been so proud of all these years, was nothing in front of this young man.
Ma Hongjun became completely withdrawn. He recalled how he usually considered himself a genius, and then looked at the boy in front of him. He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Oscar's initial elation at breaking through level 30 at such a young age as a food-type Soul Master had vanished. He even began to seriously consider whether he was too useless.
Tang San continued to stare at Ye Tianchen, his eyes flashing.
He noticed that the boy's breathing remained steady, and his soul power fluctuations were not disordered at all.
In other words, those dodges just now were... effortless for him.
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong's eyes shone with surprise. Neither of them had expected that in just a few months, the boy who was ridiculed as a waste by the entire clan and even had great difficulty obtaining his first soul ring could now completely outmaneuver a Soul Saint!
After Ye Tianchen dodged his soul skills several times in a row, Zhao Wujie realized that his mental lock was no match for Ye Tianchen. He gritted his teeth, and a look of madness flashed in his eyes.
Since he couldn't aim accurately, then—he would bombard relentlessly!
Under the effect of the Spirit True Body, he could use his soul skills below the seventh ring without restriction for thirty minutes. He refused to believe that his all-encompassing attacks would fail to hit this kid!
