Chapter 6 Slaying the Hidden-Winged Serpent

Upon hearing Wen Ning's voice, the blond boy touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly and nodded. "My martial soul is ice, and this is my first soul skill, Ice Shield."

Actually, there was something else he wanted to say: he was born with level eight soul power!

However, to avoid Wen Ning thinking he was just showing off, he held back from saying that.

Is your martial soul ice?

"System, is this person's martial soul really ice?"

If that's the case, could this person be from the Five Elements Academy?

"Yes."

The system quickly responded to Wen Ning.

"Is this the soul beast you're planning to hunt? I can help you, and you can also try out my new soul skill."

The blond boy spoke again.

Upon hearing that this person was offering to help her for free, Wen Ning readily agreed, "Okay, okay, thank you!"

Her voice was clear and crisp, with a hint of laughter at the end.

The snake's tail had several wounds, all inflicted by those men.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Hidden-Winged Serpent's attention was entirely focused on Wen Ning and the blond boy, Wen Lin took his longsword and slashed at it many times. In the blink of an eye, the Hidden-Winged Serpent was covered in blood.

However, none of these injuries were fatal, so the silver-haired serpent's strength was not significantly reduced. Its large, silver, vertical pupils darted around, and it flicked its tongue, creating some distance between itself and the others.

Seeing this, Lin Wu immediately said, "Press the attack! Don't let it get away!"

"Flame Lion's First Soul Skill, Flame Meteor!"

As Lin Wu's voice fell, a dazzling red light erupted from his body. His clenched fists swung out at a speed that was beyond the reach of ordinary people. Each punch landed on the Hidden Winged Serpent's body. The already fragile serpent scales shattered rapidly under such an attack. Every punch hit flesh, and the Hidden Winged Serpent roared even more hoarsely in pain.

The snake's scarred tail thrashed wildly, as if it wanted to smash everything in its way.

Faced with such a chaotic and disorganized attack, Wen Ning could only hurriedly dodge, and then took advantage of the snake's unpreparedness to stab it a few times to vent his anger.

The amplification from the soul skill was about to wear off, and Lin Wu's strength was not as great as it had been at the beginning. Just as he was about to catch his breath, the huge snake tail was raised directly above his head and then fell heavily. Wen Ning's eyes widened, and the short knife in his hand flew out and pierced straight into the snake tail!

But the pain inflicted on the Winged Serpent was not enough to stop its attack. Its massive tail continued to approach, about to smash into Lin Wu's head. Wen Ning picked up a fallen icicle and rushed forward to stab the Winged Serpent in its vital spot, his face expressionless.

However, she was stopped as soon as she took a step. The blond boy grabbed her with one hand, while a huge ice shield materialized in his other hand. Under Wen Ning's watchful gaze, he forcefully hurled the ice shield, gritting his teeth, "Ice shield, go!"

At the same time, Lin Wu noticed the enormous snake tail hurtling towards him. His eyes widened, and he immediately activated his second soul skill, "Flame Protection!"

The raging flames melted some of the ice shield thrown by the blond boy, but even so, the ice shield still managed to withstand the powerful blow and shattered in mid-air!

The snake tail's original trajectory changed after that, and it smashed straight towards Wen Lin!

Seeing this, Wen Ning immediately took action. The gurgling river water suddenly rose into the air and condensed into a rope in mid-air, which was firmly tied to the tail end of the Hidden Winged Serpent. The other end of the rope was tied to a century-old tree by Wen Ning. Her only responsibility was to condense the water into the shape she wanted.

While doing this, Wen Ning felt something rapidly flowing out of her body.

If she's right, this should be the amount of soul power she possesses.

"Brother, can you cut off its tail?"

Wen Ning shouted loudly towards the opposite side, feeling that he was about to be exhausted.

She didn't have much soul power at all. If the system hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have even remembered that she was now a soul master.

The moment Shen Chu realized this, she immediately summoned water from the nearby river.

She doesn't have enough soul power right now to directly condense it into water, so she can only borrow water from nearby sources.

Wen Ning's words went unanswered, but Wen Lin reacted immediately upon hearing them.

He raised the flaming iron sword high, leaped up, and aimed the sharp blade at the winged serpent's tail. With a shout, the sword fell from the sky, splattering blood all over Wen Ning's face.

Blood……

Realizing something, Wen Ning immediately raised her head and looked into the distance.

She saw the broken snake tail lying on the ground...

It's a success!

"Bro, you're so cool!"

She excitedly praised it, and at that moment, the hemp rope formed from water began to break apart, and water droplets began to fall from mid-air, pouring onto everyone and washing away the bloodstains on their bodies.

Damn it, my soul power is gone!

Wen Ning cursed inwardly.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

The idea had barely formed in his mind when the solid rope completely collapsed, pouring water down on everyone except the blond boy who was standing further away.

Wen Ning wiped the water from her face, met Lin Wu and Wen Lin's gaze, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Haha, my soul power is gone."

With a blank expression, Wen Lin shook the water droplets off his head and reminded him, "This should be a hundred-year-old Winged Serpent. Do you want it?"

With most of its body gone and its upper body badly beaten by Lin Wu, the Winged Serpent lay on the ground, its silver vertical pupils pleading.

Thinking of something, Wen Ning asked the system again, "Can this be used as a soul spirit?"

This time the system did not respond quickly, but Wen Ning was not in a hurry. He first pulled out his short knife from the snake's tail.

Only after she drew the dagger did the system finally give an answer.

"That's unnecessary."

"It begged for mercy because you won, but whether it was it or its offspring, their initial goal was to take your life."

The system did not directly answer whether she was right or wrong, but simply explained the current situation to Wen Ning.

Wen Ning thought it made sense, nodded slightly, and asked her last question.

"This soul beast is a hundred-year-old soul beast, but why haven't I seen it use any soul skills?"

This is a problem that Wen Ning has only just realized.

From the beginning until now, she doesn't seem to have seen the snake use its soul skill.

As a hundred-year-old soul beast, if she doesn't even have a soul skill, she'll have to think about it carefully.

"It has a soul skill that allows it to become invisible, but this skill is essentially useless after it is injured. Bloodstains will reveal its location, so it won't be very effective."

"Another soul skill of its is that its fangs are poisonous, which it can use to hunt prey."

The system paused for a moment at this point.

"As for what you said about not using soul skills."

"It bit Lin Wu, didn't you notice?"
