Chapter 140 Death's Poisonous Miasma
Chapter 140 Death's Poisonous Miasma
With the death of the Tooth-Pinned Poison Scorpion King, the emerald green poisonous mist that permeated its cave was quickly annihilated by the lightning released by Lei Meng.
Lei Meng entered the huge cave and saw Mu Chen recovering his soul power and condition. He was planning to break through to the fourth soul ring of ten thousand years in the best possible condition.
Having consumed the Vajra Dragon Heart Sunflower, Mu Chen's physical attributes had greatly improved. In addition, his martial soul, the Golden Crocodile King, was already formidable, making it easy for him to absorb spirit rings from higher-level opponents.
"Well done, kids, you cooperated very well," Lei Meng praised.
"It's just that your little team is a bit odd, you don't have any support-type Soul Masters, haha—but it doesn't seem to have much of an impact." Lei Meng stroked his beard and laughed.
Indeed, Qian Yuhan and the others are all offensive-type Soul Masters. Ouyang Luoxue's addition has filled the gap in control. Qian Yuhan's attack speed is fast, which can be considered as agility-type attack, but compared with a true agility-type Soul Master, he is still far behind in speed.
“You don’t need to worry too much. Mu Chen’s ‘Golden Crocodile Domain’ has a pretty good amplification effect. It’s more than enough to fight against Soul Master teams of your level or slightly higher,” Lei Meng continued.
Qian Yuhan and the others sat cross-legged on the spot, recovering their soul power while listening to Lei Meng's story.
Time ticked by, and half an hour had passed in the blink of an eye. Mu Chen took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and respectfully called out to those ahead:
"teacher--"
Before he could finish speaking, Lei Meng's steady and powerful voice rang out:
"Yes, go—remember, you must stay calm! When you absorb the spirit ring of this Pliers-Pinned Poison Scorpion King, you will inevitably engage in a fierce battle with the soul that remains within the spirit ring. This beast harbors extremely deep resentment, so you must not be careless!"
Mu Chen nodded seriously, indicating that she understood the teacher's instructions.
Then, he turned around and walked with firm steps toward the corpse of the Tooth-Piercing Scorpion King.
As he approached, he slowly sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and concentrated to summon his Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul.
With the appearance of the Martial Soul, a powerful and majestic aura immediately spread out.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Chen opened his eyes, his gaze fixed on the pitch-black ten-thousand-year soul ring.
He carefully controlled his soul power, guiding it toward the soul ring in an attempt to establish a connection with it.
Just as the connection between the martial soul and the soul ring was successfully established, Mu Chen felt a dizzying sensation, as if his soul was suddenly swept into another mysterious space by an invisible force.
When Mu Chen came to her senses and looked around, she was stunned.
He discovered that the space he was in was completely dark, so dark that he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face, and he couldn't see anything around him at all.
Fortunately, Mu Chen reacted quickly and immediately used the Martial Soul Possession Technique.
In an instant, a dazzling golden light emanated from his body, illuminating a small area around him.
Even so, the vision was still very blurry.
Just as Mu Chen was about to observe this strange space further, suddenly, a chilling gaze came from not far away.
His heart tightened, and he quickly turned his head to look, only to see a pair of huge, blood-red eyes staring intently at him. Mu Chen recognized at a glance that those eyes, filled with malice and resentment, belonged to the Poisonous Scorpion King with Pincers.
"Come on! Do you think I'm afraid of your broken soul?" Mu Chen said.
……
After some time, Qian Yuhan and the others had almost recovered, and their soul power was quite abundant.
Qian Yuhan was the first to open her eyes, stand up, and come to Lei Meng's side: "Teacher—"
Lei Meng awoke from his meditation, opened his eyes, and smiled, saying, "All recovered?"
Qian Yuhan smiled and replied, "Yes, teacher, it's just that my soul power was depleted, but it recovers quickly."
After speaking, Qian Yuhan noticed Mu Chen, who was absorbing the ten-thousand-year soul ring with his eyes closed, and asked, "Teacher, how long has Mu Chen been absorbing it?"
"Hmm, it's only been half an hour. Judging from his condition, it'll probably be a while longer." Lei Meng glanced at Mu Chen's current state and said, "Let him meditate a little longer. We won't look for any more soul beasts today. We'll find some for Tang Chen tomorrow morning—"
After saying that, Lei Meng closed his eyes again and began to circulate his soul power.
After Ouyang Luoxue and the other three had recovered their soul power, they opened their eyes and, seeing this, also entered a state of cultivation to consolidate their cultivation.
An hour and a half passed in the blink of an eye...
As dusk fell, the setting sun, like blood, dyed the horizon a magnificent orange-red.
A gentle breeze caressed the earth, bringing a touch of coolness and tranquility.
Mu Chen's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, and then slowly opened.
In an instant, a powerful soul force surged out from his body, surging like a rushing river.
"call!"
Mu Chen exhaled a long breath, his voice clear and resonant.
He slowly sat up, feeling the surging soul power within his body. A look of joy appeared on his face, and he said softly:
"We finally succeeded..."
As he finished speaking, a light flashed beneath his feet, and four spirit rings—two yellow, one purple, and one black—quietly rose and surrounded him.
Each spirit ring radiated a dazzling light, as if announcing to the world his increased strength.
At this moment, Qian Yuhan and the others who were meditating not far away also felt this strong fluctuation of soul power. They all ended their cultivation, stood up, and walked quickly toward Mu Chen.
"You succeeded?" Qian Yuhan walked up to Mu Chen first, his gaze falling on the soul ring on her body, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
Mu Chen smiled and nodded at Qian Yuhan, then turned to Fang Ya standing to the side and said excitedly:
"I'm level 42!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Ya's face immediately lit up with a bright smile. She clapped her hands lightly and congratulated her, "Congratulations! You've become even stronger!"
Mu Chen chuckled and asked, "Teacher, so let's—"
Lei Meng stroked his beard. "That's all for today. Mu Chen, you've just broken through to the Soul Master level, and your soul power still needs to be stabilized. Everyone should get some rest tonight. We'll find a suitable soul beast for Tang Chen tomorrow morning."
Seemingly remembering something, Lei Meng asked, "Tang Chen, are you also looking for the ten-thousand-year-old one?"
Tang Chen nodded seriously and hummed in agreement.
At this moment, Qian Yuhan and Zhao Ke surrounded Mu Chen, and Zhao Ke asked, "Brother Chen, what is your fourth soul skill?"
Fang Ya and Ouyang Luoxue also pricked up their ears in curiosity.
"My fourth soul skill, which I named 'Death Poisonous Mist,' can release a poisonous circle in a designated area. Enemies within the poisonous circle will have their speed reduced by 50% and will be unable to teleport. They can only rely on their soul power to resist the poisonous gas attack. The poisonous circle lasts for five minutes. The range and duration will increase as my soul power level increases."
Qian Yuhan and the others nodded in shock after hearing this. Mu Chen's fourth soul skill, "Death Poisonous Mist," was quite powerful. Whether combined with his third soul skill, "Raging Golden Crocodile," or used in conjunction with teammates to restrict fast-moving targets and create a better offensive environment for them.
Lei Meng also heard Mu Chen mention the fourth soul skill, nodded in satisfaction, and muttered, "Chen Yu, Chen Yu, you should be secretly happy to have such an outstanding son in your Golden Crocodile Palace."
