Chapter 40 - Chapter 40 The True World of Soul Masters - Fighting and Killing

  The Crystal Bear was woken from its sleep by She Long, and was immediately grumpy.

  Upon seeing Lin Yu standing before it, it immediately blamed Lin Yu for disturbing its sleep.

  Roar! Roar! Roar!

  A furious roar instantly scattered all birds and beasts within a hundred meters. Without a word, the Crystal Bear immediately attacked Lin Yu with a claw.

  With a cultivation of over nine hundred and fifty years, approaching a thousand years, the Crystal Bear's strength, due to its race, was naturally immense. Even a defensive Soul Master would find it extremely difficult to withstand its enraged attack, let alone Lin Yu, a powerful agility-based dual-attack Soul Master.

  (Similar to Feng Xiaotian, high attack, and not weak defense.)

  With a flap of its wings, Lin Yu slightly shifted its body, dodging the Crystal Bear's enraged attack. A flash of cold light from the Frost Sword, and the frost-like blade swiftly sliced ​​across the Crystal Bear's right arm.

  Having landed a successful blow, Lin Yu immediately unleashed his first soul skill—Crimson Owl Light!

  A crimson beam shot directly towards the crystal bear's mouth. The crystal bear, still reeling from its old wounds and unable to generate new ones, was also affected by the powerful inertia caused by its own weight, leaving it no time to dodge. All it could do was close its mouth.

  In an instant, the Crimson Owl Light, infused with a burning effect, struck its nose.

  With a painful roar from the crystal bear, Lin Yu decisively created distance.

  To be honest, let alone a soul beast less than a thousand years old, even a true thousand-year-old soul beast, Lin Yu could easily defeat.

  Only with a crystal bear like this did Lin Yu need to be cautious, and he dared not go all out.

  There was no way around it; the crystal bear's crystallization ability was simply too unreasonable. With similar strength, a slight lapse in attention could result in being hit, and Lin Yu dared not be careless.

  She Long, who was watching over Lin Yu from the sidelines, ready to rescue him at the slightest sign of trouble, noticed Lin Yu's hesitation. However, there was nothing he could do; the Crystal Bear's ability was simply too disgusting.

  Having its nose destroyed by Lin Yu's first soul skill, the Crystal Bear was no longer just angry; its eyes turned bloodshot, and it clearly intended to kill Lin Yu.

  Ignoring the pain of its destroyed nose, the Crystal Bear charged madly at Lin Yu.

  This time, Lin Yu didn't back down. He drew his longsword and unleashed a powerful strike, blocking the Crystal Bear's first claw. Then, Lin Yu raised his sword with both hands, and the Frost Sword resonated slightly, producing a soft clang. A flash of sword light swept across, and the Crystal Bear roared in fury.

  The next instant, the paw that Lin Yu had struck with his sword fell to the ground.

  Observing from afar, She Long couldn't help but admire, "Truly a sword prodigy! Although his sword intent isn't yet fully mastered, who in the history of Douluo Continent has ever achieved that at such a young age?"

  Even if he hadn't eaten pork, he'd seen pigs run!

  Although She Long didn't use a sword himself, he had followed the Grand Elder Qian Daoliu and naturally possessed some knowledge.

  While She Long was praising Lin Yu, the Crystal Bear, its paw severed, roared in anger, unintentionally activating its crystallization ability.

  Within a ten-meter radius of the Crystal Bear, everything instantly crystallized, turning into transparent crystals.

  Fortunately, Lin Yu was fast enough that the crystallization didn't affect him.

  After dodging the Crystal Bear's crystallization, Lin Yu used his wings to fly through the air, wielding the Frost Sword, and launched a final attack on the Crystal Bear, which had already undergone its first crystallization.

  The sword's edge was sharp, like a graceful dance, the Frost Sword carrying the sharpest sword intent, directly slashing down towards the Crystal Bear's head.

  Whether it was the powerful sword intent, the sharpness of the blade, or both, the Frost Sword, with a single strike, decapitated the Crystal Bear.

  This strike was incredibly powerful; Lin Yu had evolved it from the swordsmanship of his past life, drawing inspiration from the "Eight Directions Sweep" move of a white-haired swordsman from a certain anime.

  Although it was still in its rudimentary form, its power was not to be underestimated!

  With a single strike, the Crystal Bear's head was severed, and its mangled body collapsed completely. A pale purple soul ring, tinged with a yellowish hue, appeared above its corpse.

  "Good, you're not bad, kid!"

  In She Long's opinion, Lin Yu was too young to be praised too much; if he became increasingly arrogant, it would be very detrimental to his young master.

  Fortunately, Lin Yu didn't possess any mind-reading soul skills, otherwise he would have had to give She Long a good talking-to. He was very lusting after his young master's sister, so how could he possibly harm her?

  Lin Yu casually shattered the crystal bear's soul ring, watching it fall to the ground. As for the bear's paws, Lin Yu didn't hesitate at all; these were highly nutritious, how could he let them go?

  After Lin Yu cut off three bear paws in succession, when he finally cut the crystal bear's right leg, Qiu Mo in his hand seemed to encounter some kind of obstruction.

  "Could it be such a coincidence?"

  Putting away the bear paw, a delicate, translucent bone, similar to a human leg bone, appeared in Lin Yu's hand.

  She Long glanced at it intentionally or unintentionally, but didn't pay it any mind. For a Title Douluo like him, a thousand-year soul bone was practically useless—tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away.

  He then reminded Lin Yu, "You don't need this thing, put it away first..."

  Before She Long could finish speaking, an extremely excited but malicious voice rang out, "Haha, Old Goose, I didn't expect our luck to be so good, we actually found a soul bone!"

  Lin Yu subconsciously glanced at She Long beside him, but She Long had already looked up at the sky, showing no intention of paying him any attention.

  For a moment, Lin Yu was somewhat speechless. He had just killed the Crystal Bear, and now he was being forced to start another round of trials, resorting to killing people directly?

  The two people in front of him weren't very strong, at most at the level of high-level Soul Venerables. How could such people escape the notice of She Long, a Title Douluo?

  The people before him were also quite sleazy-looking. A tall, thin man in his thirties or forties, wearing a straw hat, brandished his broken sword. "Young man, and old man, I accidentally dropped something. Would you two be willing to return it to its rightful owner?"

  "Since you two are so greedy, let's see if you have the ability!"

  Seeing their hypocrisy, Lin Yu was too lazy to waste words. Admittedly, some people in his previous life said that the martial world wasn't just about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships.

  But in reality, fighting and killing still came first, and the same was true in the world of Soul Masters. Fighting and killing were the norm; so-called human relationships were merely a matter of calmly settling things down after the fighting.

  [Did you guess that these two who suddenly appeared had only a minor role in the original story?]
