Chapter 1620: Revisiting the Far Northern Lands (Please Subscribe)_1
Xu Sheng, seeing the change in his expression, said indifferently, "Before heading to the location where we'll hunt the hundred-thousand-year soul beast, the two of you should think carefully. I won't protect you in secret, nor do I have that much time. If you die, you really will be dead!"
As he said these words, his gaze was fixed on Yue Zhengyu, as if he could see through all lies...
Feeling this incredibly sharp stare, the latter's heart began to beat rapidly, and without realizing it, his back was already soaked with cold sweat...
In his heart, he thought, "Has Teacher Xu already seen through my purpose?"
Of course, what terrified him the most was the following sentence...
No secret protection!
This meant that if he accepted, he'd be walking on the edge of death!!
Standing beside him, Yuanen Yehui answered unflinchingly, "I have no problem. Yue Zhengyu, what about you?"
Yue Zhengyu clenched his fists, his mind beginning to struggle, he hesitated, "I..."
However, in the next few seconds, he didn't utter another word...
Yuanen Yehui instantly understood and let out a light "tsk," saying coldly, "If you're afraid of dying, then it's better for you to stay at the academy. I can go alone!"
She hadn't held much hope for Yue Zhengyu in the first place; if it weren't for his repeated pleas, she wouldn't have agreed at all!
Hearing this, Yue Zhengyu hung his head even lower and clenched his teeth even tighter...
He admitted that he was scared!
Even with the plethora of high-grade Soul Guidance Devices given by his clan, he had no confidence in slaying a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!
A mistake could cost him his precious life!
But even if he succeeded, there was no substantial reward...
Is this...worth it?
Xu Sheng glanced at the sky, urging, "Yue Zhengyu, have you made up your mind? It's still early morning now; if it gets later, the hundred-thousand-year soul beast will become even more dangerous!"
Yue Zhengyu's little schemes couldn't be hidden from him!
Who knew, but Yue Zhengyu suddenly raised his head, his face serious as he asked, "Teacher Xu, I have a question. Can I go to that place to hunt soul beasts in the future too?"
The answer to this question would represent his final decision!
Xu Sheng was taken aback, then casually said, "Of course you can, as long as you have confidence in your abilities!"
Immediately, Yue Zhengyu decisively said, "Alright, I've decided. I'll go with Yuanen Yehui!"
Yuanen Yehui pursed her thin lips, annoyed, "You could have just said so earlier. You made me think you were scared to death and didn't dare to go!"
Yue Zhengyu's mouth twitched a few times, "Is...is that so? After all, it concerns life and death, so I had to think carefully!"
This woman, what's the deal with her, not feeling a bit of fear?
Yuanen Yehui's gaze turned back to Xu Sheng, respectfully saying, "Teacher Xu, then I shall trouble you!"
Xu Sheng didn't say much, put on a show of releasing a Martial Soul, and the third hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring at his feet suddenly lit up...
Visible to the naked eye, in front of them, a curved space was forcibly torn open, with the far northern lands connected at the back...
Yue Zhengyu's eyes widened, disbelieving, "This...what is this??"
He had thought they would go by Soul Guidance Train or Mecha, but he never expected this method!
For Yuanen Yehui, it was naturally the same; even seeing it for the second time, she could hardly suppress the astonishment in her heart...
Xu Sheng explained nonchalantly, "This is one of my Spatial Soul Skills, which can connect to any place I've been before and create a space crack. Of course, there are great limitations!"
Yue Zhengyu nodded thoughtfully, "I see."
Just now, he had thought Xu Sheng was tearing space open with his bare hands...
To achieve that extent, one simply couldn't be called a Soul Master!
Immediately, the two of them took a deep breath and stepped into the space crack...
...
Upon stepping out of the space crack, what came into their sight was an expanse of vast snow, and unceasingly howling wind...
Yue Zhengyu shivered and, hugging his arms, said, "Sss... Where is this place? It's so cold!"
If they didn't use their Soul Power to alleviate the cold, they would probably freeze into ice sculptures within minutes!
Yuanen Yehui also released his Soul Power for warmth, and remarked, "This is the far northern lands, a part of the Continent that has yet to be deeply explored. But it won't be long before it's discovered."
Yue Zhengyu smacked his lips, "The far northern lands?? That's half a map's distance away from Shrek City!"
Teacher Xu's Spatial Soul Skill can actually traverse half a map, and that's supposed to be limited?
Feeling the atmosphere around them begin to change, Yuanen Yehui's brows furrowed, and he warned, "Don't look around carelessly, stay alert. There are quite a few hundred-thousand-year soul beasts here!"
Just during the last visit alone, he had already seen nearly a dozen hundred-thousand-year soul beasts!
Yue Zhengyu waved his hand, "Ye Hui, you're too cautious. Hundred-thousand-year soul beasts aren't that easy to..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a piercing roar sounded from behind them, "ROAR!!!"
In that instant, they both felt the gravity on their bodies increase manifold, their hearts pounding intensely...
As they slowly turned around, they finally saw the behemoth soul beast behind them, a hundred meters in size, shadowing the entire sky above!
Yue Zhengyu trembled as he said, "Such... such terrifying pressure, my body feels like it's been weighed down manifold!! This... this is a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!!"
Hundred-thousand-year soul beasts were far more terrifying than he had imagined!
Just its pressure alone made it impossible for him to move an inch!!
Yuanen Yehui cried out, "Yue Zhengyu, don't space out, get ready to fight!"
They saw the hundred-thousand-year soul beast quickly lift its massive arms, and just as it was about to bring them down...
Its eyes seemed to see something, and it abruptly halted in mid-air...
Regaining his composure, Yue Zhengyu immediately stepped back several paces and released his Angel's Martial Soul as his first reaction...
However, seeing that the former hadn't made a move, he frowned and said, "Hm? What trick is this soul beast playing?"
Could it be that soul beasts now know to make their opponents let down their guard?
Yuanen Yehui beside him shook his head, "I'm not sure either, but... better safe than sorry!"
The hundred-thousand-year soul beast stared intently at Yuanen Yehui, and asked in a not-so-fluent tone, "Are you... the girl from last time?"
It had personally witnessed God leading this girl to the far northern lands, and even some soul beasts were willing to sacrifice!
If it made a move on her, it might very well suffer God's punishment!!
Yuanen Yehui exclaimed in surprise, "You... recognize me?"
Could it be that this hundred-thousand-year soul beast remembered her from her first visit here?
The hundred-thousand-year soul beast didn't answer but coldly said, "Humans, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you off. If you wish to hunt hundred-thousand-year soul beasts here, you're on your own!"
After leaving these words, the hundred-thousand-year soul beast gave the two of them a deep look and left without turning its head...
Yue Zhengyu rubbed his eyes, dumbfounded, "Ye Hui, what did you just do? That hundred-thousand-year soul beast, just like that... left??"
It didn't even give him a second glance!
