Chapter 190: Ronin's Skill

...

The low roar of beasts echoed in their ears, and the ferocious light in the eyes of the dozen or so beast pupils surrounded the four of them, instilling fear.

"Can you handle it?" Flender asked Zeng Yi with concern as they were trapped by the group of soul beasts.

Without any hesitation, Zeng Yi smiled faintly and replied, "No problem. Dean, take care of them and watch out for that Four-Eyed Demon Wolf."

Even in the face of so many soul beasts, Zeng Yi remained confident.

Nowadays, he was confident in facing soul beasts that had lived for over ten thousand years, let alone these hundred or thousand-year-old soul beasts in front of him. The highest cultivation among them was only a little over three thousand years.

"Rong Rong, help me pack up the barbecue. Don't let it get dusty. It's going to be our lunch later."

These words left Ning Rongrong speechless. It was unbelievable that he was still concerned about the barbecue at a time like this, showing no sense of crisis.

That was self-confidence.

Watching Zeng Yi's back, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but admire him. No matter what he faced, he always maintained a calm and confident demeanor.

As the daughter of the head of the wealthiest sect in the world, Ning Rongrong possessed many valuable treasures, such as spatial spirit items. She naturally had them and her spatial spirit item was as large as a room.

Ning Rongrong placed the barbecue, including the grill, into the spatial spirit item, and then quickly retreated to Flender's side.

The group of soul beasts did not immediately attack Zeng Yi and the others, but were observing their prey, searching for vulnerabilities.

They could sense the terrifying pressure that Flender had released just now. This made them wary and prevented them from launching a hasty attack.

Looking at the dozen or so soul beasts in front of him, Zeng Yi felt some of the pressure dissipate as they seemed to be cautious. It was best if they could avoid fighting. Although he was very strong and could defeat or kill all the soul beasts in front of him, it would also consume a lot of his strength. In this dangerous Star Dou Forest, it was not a wise decision to put himself in a weakened state.

Even with Flender by his side as a Soul Saint protector.

Zeng Yi had a feeling, an eerie sense of imminent danger that made him uneasy, as if something was about to happen.

He trusted his instincts because it had happened before, when he encountered his cheap master, Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

Since these soul beasts didn't dare to launch an attack, it meant they felt fear. Moreover, Zeng Yi already captured the soul beasts Xiao Zhu needed, so there was no need to slaughter these soul beasts. Scaring them away would be enough.

With a clear idea in mind, three soul rings silently appeared around Zeng Yi's body, one purple, one yellow, and one purple. They revolved around his body in an extremely orderly manner, emitting a radiant light.

Spirit skill - Sword of Selflessness, activate!

Spirit skill - Sword Domain, activate!

The two soul rings on Zeng Yi's body shimmered consecutively, instantly activating his second and third spirit skills. The two terrifying enhancement states bestowed upon Zeng Yi's body, releasing an immense power. An invisible energy wave spread from his body, like a howling wave, sweeping away countless fallen leaves and dust, creating a breathtaking scene.

A surge of air caused all the soul beasts to retreat instinctively. Their beast pupils stared at Zeng Yi with vigilance. Even Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were pushed back a few steps by the powerful gust of wind. Even Flender was astonished.

Just the imposing aura alone exerted a tremendous pressure, as strong as a mountain.

They rarely saw Zeng Yi going all out. The only time was when Zeng Yi had just entered Shrek Academy and fought against the six Shrek students. He used his full strength to instantly defeat them, shocking everyone.

Since then, Zeng Yi hadn't used his full strength in battle. Even in the Great Spirit Arena, no one could withstand three moves from him.

And now, Flender witnessed Zeng Yi's full-power stance once again, and this time, his aura was even stronger than before.

Over the past two months, Zeng Yi had become even more powerful.

Yes, during this time, not only did Shrek Seven Monsters become stronger, but Zeng Yi's progress did not stop either. Despite his usual appearance of idleness, Zeng Yi never stopped cultivating.

He was already a level 36 Soul Elder, and his advancement speed would be slower compared to the rest of Shrek. This made it seem like Zeng Yi was lazy in cultivation, but it was not the case.

The further one progressed, the slower and more difficult cultivation became. For someone like Flender at his level, it would be challenging to advance even one level in two or three years.

The Shrek Seven Monsters, besides Tang San who had the Immortal Herb Warehouse, wouldn't have advanced so quickly without the herbs Tang San gave them. In their early teens, they became Spirit Masters, won the championship of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament.

In terms of talent, the Shrek Seven Monsters were not the most outstanding on the continent. Other forces and academies also had trainees with talents comparable to theirs, or even surpassing them.

If it weren't for the Immortal Herbs Tang San gave them, it would have taken the other Shrek members until they were seventeen or eighteen to become Soul Masters.

So, Zeng Yi's cultivation speed was not slow. Moreover, he had already advanced a level three months ago, and it wouldn't take long for him to reach level 37. This was already a monstrous talent.

This was thanks to Zeng Yi's 50% increased cultivation speed.

The suppressive power released by Zeng Yi's spiritual power swept through the space, making the entire atmosphere heavy and oppressive. The sharp sword intent pervaded the surroundings, making everyone feel a chill and lowering the temperature. The cold air caused their cheeks to feel a slight sting.

Zeng Yi, Rong Rong, and Zhuqing were not far apart, with a distance of about six meters, all within the range of Zeng Yi's Sword Domain. Flender's strength far exceeded Zeng Yi's, so he didn't feel much, but Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing felt immense pressure. They felt their spiritual power flow being obstructed, their bodies oppressed, and even breathing became difficult. Ning Rongrong, being a auxiliary system spirit master, didn't feel as deeply as Zhu Zhuqing did. Zhu Zhuqing knew clearly that her strength was suppressed by about half within Zeng Yi's domain.

They were aware of the effect of Zeng Yi's skill. Within his domain, opponents were suppressed by 10% of their original strength. The greater the gap between the opponent's and the user's strength, the greater the suppression would be.

Therefore, it was almost impossible to defeat Zeng Yi with weaker strength.

This skill was more effective against weaker opponents.

Furthermore, Zeng Yi's skill targeted everyone within his domain, irrespective of whether they were enemies or allies.
