Douluo Continent: I am the true master

Chapter 97 The Multi-Eyed Squid King

Seeing this, Ye Wen's expression turned solemn, and he muttered to himself.

"Looks like I drew the worst possible lot."

Before choosing to hunt down and absorb a 20-year soul ring, Ye Wen had discussed it with Ah Yin.

As a 10-year-old soul beast that has grown over a long period of time, the Blue Silver Emperor has a stronger soul power than other 10-year-old soul beasts with noble bloodlines. In addition, the Blue Silver Emperor's talent allows the Blue Silver Domain to draw on the spiritual power of the entire clan as its foundation. Although it cannot compare to a 20-year-old soul beast, it can still be considered one of the best among 10-year-old soul beasts.

While the spiritual power of a 10-year-old animal-type soul beast is immense, it is still inferior in quality to the soul of a human who has broken through to the Title Douluo realm. This is why humans are able to absorb soul rings containing complete 10-year-old soul beast souls.

Although she had never truly experienced the spiritual power of a 200,000-year-old ferocious beast, Ah Yin speculated that its soul essence was already comparable to that of a Title Douluo.

After accumulating artificial purple energy, Ye Wen's mental power reached a bottleneck. He then used the essence of the "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew" technique, and his mental power broke through to the spiritual power realm of a Title Douluo—the Spirit Abyss Realm.

In the original story, Tang San used the Autumn Water Dew of the River of Oblivion to break through his Purple Demon Eye to the Mustard Seed Realm, gaining the ability to see through Xiao Wu's true nature. However, this ability is generally only available to Soul Masters at the Title Douluo Realm.

It felt like a waste, since the purpose of the Autumn Water Dew of the River of Oblivion was clearly to help break through the bottleneck of spiritual power.

Although the Purple Demon Eye's Mustard Seed Realm allowed him to detect Xiao Wu's abnormality before he became a Title Douluo, it only slightly improved his mental strength, somewhat tarnishing the reputation of this "immortal herb." After all, absorbing a mere 1-year-old Earth Demon Spider with his fourth spirit ring had already given Tang San quite a hard time.

Now, the 20-year-old ferocious beast that Ye Wen was targeting has appeared before him, but judging from its surface features, it is no ordinary 20-year-old ferocious beast.

Among those who know the most about sea spirit beasts in the world today, none are more knowledgeable than Seagod Island and the mermaid clan, so Ye Wen humbly asked for their guidance.

"Mishar, do you recognize this spirit beast?"

The simple-minded Mishar did not keep anything to herself and subtly advised Ye Wendao.

"Brother Ye, this soul beast's species is called the Multi-Eyed Squid. If it has 20 years of cultivation, it should be called the Multi-Eyed Squid King. This kind of soul beast not only has powerful physical abilities, but also has innate spiritual power attributes."

The reason those soul beasts fainted was because it launched a soul attack. If we had been any closer, we would have been attacked too. You should give up. I'll go to another sea area to find a ferocious beast for you. This guy is really beyond our capabilities.

A-Yin, standing to the side, also looked down at the multi-eyed squid king, who was feasting.

"Brother, let's give up. Even if we hunt it down, you might not be able to withstand its spirit ring. Its spiritual realm is even stronger than mine before."

Ye Wen's eyes flickered uncertainly. Due to the powerful simulation effect of his second soul skill, the Multi-Eyed Squid King below, who was feeding, did not notice the three of them.

"No, this is it," Ye Wen said firmly.

Ah Yin tried to dissuade him, but Ye Wen stopped her with one hand.

"Ah Yin, I know what I'm doing. Even after breaking through to the Title Douluo realm, I haven't been idle. I've been constantly absorbing purple energy to strengthen my mental power. My current mental power level should be stronger than that of an ordinary Title Douluo."

Judging from the soul attack just now, my mental strength is slightly stronger than itss. If I add your domain's assistance when absorbing the soul ring, I'm 80% confident I can absorb it.

Seeing Ye Wen's determined gaze, Ah Yin knew that no matter what she said, Ye Wen wouldn't change his mind.

"Okay, sigh, why are you being so stubborn at a time like this? You used to be so careful and cautious."

"Haha, maybe I've been holding it in for so long that I've forgotten what I'm like. But life is about giving it your all."

Ye Wen laughed heartily.

Before breaking through to Soul Saint, Ye Wen always walked on thin ice during his cultivation due to his weakness. However, in order to obtain more cultivation resources and research materials, he had to face the treacherous forces of various factions. Now that he has broken through to Soul Saint and has strength comparable to a Title Douluo, Ye Wen's suppressed self has begun to gradually unseal.

Our ancestors said that all fear stems from insufficient firepower.

"Ah Yin, cover for me."

As he spoke, Ye Wen leaped out.

"Sixth Soul Skill: Spatial Vibration - Overclocking! H!"

Having practiced this soul skill hundreds of times, Ye Wen had mastered it thoroughly. With the actual operation just now, he was even more adept at it, generating the soul skill in just three seconds.

The King Squid, as its name suggests, has many eyes on its long, pointed squid head, which can be described as having no blind spots from any angle. This is also a characteristic that gives it an innate spiritual attribute.

Because of the characteristics of its spiritual power and its superior cultivation as a soul beast, the Multi-Eyed Squid King can react to any energy fluctuations within a kilometer in the shortest possible time.

The Multi-Eyed Squid King had already sensed Ye Wen's presence the moment he jumped out of the illusion, but it didn't pay much attention to the soul power above him because it felt that it was insignificant to him. After eating a large amount of taro paste from the Evil Fragrance Demon Taro that the Sea Soul Beast had just devoured, the Multi-Eyed Squid King felt that its bloodline power was being strengthened step by step, giving it the confidence to survive the second Heavenly Tribulation. It couldn't help but become intoxicated by it.

But just a few seconds later, the Multi-Eyed Squid King finally realized how terribly wrong he had been. Even he couldn't generate that terrifying energy fluctuation.

But this cannot be blamed on the King of Squid.

The situation on the sea is different from that on the mainland. Sea spirit beasts and human spirit masters have no deep-seated hatred for each other. Sea spirit masters hunt sea spirit beasts, which they see as nothing more than the survival of the fittest.

So when Ye Wen first appeared, it thought that Ye Wen was just passing by like other small fry. Under the aura of its 20 years of cultivation, such small fry generally wouldn't dare to approach.

Although the King Squid has great physical strength and superb mental power, it also has a weakness: it is relatively slow in movement. Its huge size made it an easy target in that instant.

"Die!" Ye Wen sneered.

Even though soul beasts may look strange and varied, they still cannot escape the basic characteristics of living beings. Ye Wen's attack was aimed at the brain of the Hundred-Eyed Squid King. Once the brain is dead, even the most powerful soul beast will die.

The Multi-Eyed Squid King attempted to use its mental power to intercept this terrifying attack.

However, such attacks by high molecular motion are far beyond the reach of illusory and elusive abilities like mental power.

In an instant, the multi-eyed squid king was pierced through.
