Chapter 39: The Great Land Bear

  Feeling the change in her soul power, Su Qingchen's slightly tense mood eased a bit. This breakthrough should be almost guaranteed, and she no longer had to worry about failing to break through and regressing back to being an initial-stage Spirit Master, which would have driven her crazy.

  As time passed, the soul was constantly being remade, shining like a bright pearl in the dark night. The sword spirit rotated and slowly floated upwards, when it appeared in front of Su Qingchen's eyes, a thread of soul power shot into Su Qingchen's Yintang, then the rotation speed slowed down, slowly returning to the palm, as the last thread of soul power entered, the sword spirit's light disappeared instantly returned to Su Qingchen's body.

  After the sword spirit entered his body, the Devouring Heaven Technique was activated again, absorbing the soul power in the air. As a thread of spiritual energy surged in, the transformation of soul power accelerated, and soon the soul power reached saturation. Su Qingchen also slowly opened his eyes.

  She stretched her limbs, Su Qingchen stood up, looking at the small forest not far away, Su Qingchen revealed a hint of evil smile, at this time he felt his whole body was full of strength, Xuan Ming's attack circulation, his body emitted a faint blue light, his right arm appeared with armor condensed from soul power, only more mellow than before, like a deep blue gemstone.

  The soul force continuously gathered in the palm of his hand, a thread of spiritual force merged into it, causing the soul force to rapidly compress, finally compressing into a small bead. Along with Su Qingchen's muffled roar: "Lei Fist Second Style - Inch Severance", his right hand tightly clenched into a fist and fiercely punched out towards the air, the inch force containing the small soul force bead, attacking a large tree several meters away.

  Bang

  A loud explosion, several large trees around were blown to smithereens, and the air was filled with murky particles.

  Looking at his own blow, Su Qingchen smiled with satisfaction. After entering the Spirit Body, he had improved his compression of Soul Power and also enhanced its purity. Most importantly, his Soul Power could now leave his body to launch an attack, unlike before when it could only be wrapped in a thin layer of Qi and barely leave his body.

  "Not bad, this blow is comparable to a mid-tier spirit's attack. If you can master the timing of releasing your soul power, you should be able to give high-tier spirits some trouble." Cold Wind said after seeing Su Qingchen's blow.

  After hearing Leng Feng's words, Su Qingchen's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he felt a little displeased in his heart. To be only comparable to a mid-tier spirit user was really too humiliating. He sighed, and Su Qingchen stared blankly at the place where he had just been attacked.

  A loud roar came from the depths of the forest, Su Qingchen's figure paused, involuntarily retreating several steps back, vigilantly staring at the place where the sound came from.

  "I was right, it should be a third-tier power-type bear, equivalent to a mid-tier spiritual being in humans. Both defense and attack are very strong, just right for testing your attacking power after breaking through the spiritual being. Today's dinner is going to be it." After finishing speaking, Cold Wind leaned against a small tree behind him, as if waiting for something that had nothing to do with him.

  As a loud thud echoed through the air, Su Qingchen saw a massive figure emerge in the distance. The brown-haired bear was several times larger than himself, and Su Qingchen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat as he gazed at its enormous paws, thinking to himself that if it were to swat him, he'd either be dead or crippled.

  Staring intently at the earth bear running towards him, earlier Leng Feng Shu said its strength was equivalent to that of a mid-tier spirit user. So he would use his soul spirit attack, just in time to test his soul master's strength after breaking through to the spirit user level. If he used Lei Quan or Yi Feng Ling Shi, it would be somewhat bullying it.

  As Su Qingchen was thinking about how to deal with the Ground Bear later, the Ground Bear had already appeared in front of him a hundred meters away. A look of shock flashed across Leng Feng's face - it was actually a fourth-stage adult Ground Bear. It seemed that he had underestimated it. Although it had just reached adulthood, the Ground Bear's strength was boundless and its physical defense was also extremely abnormal.

  In his youth, the third-level earth bear could directly tear apart the body of a dark leopard. After growing up, its strength increased several times, and it was absolutely stronger than a high-level spiritual being. It seemed that Su Qingchen was going to suffer a loss. This kid had never tasted defeat before, so he would let him experience some hardship first. If things really didn't work out later, he would step in to rescue him. Thinking of this, Cold Wind began to focus his attention on the changes between the earth bear and Su Qingchen.

  The bear rushed to Su Qingchen's front with a thud, and its stout body had just stood firm when its massive paws suddenly slapped towards Su Qingchen.

  Su Qingchen looked at the bear's chest in horror, his heart involuntarily skipping a beat. Weren't they supposed to be strength-type? How could their attack speed be so fast?! As he was shocked, Su Qingchen's body arched and dodged the incoming bear paw, and the subsequent gust of wind blew his hair into disarray.

  Su Qingchen took a step back, took a deep breath, grasped the Sword Spirit, and in a flash, appeared above the bear's head. With a heavy heart, he said: "Breakthrough Slash". His right hand swung fiercely, and the Sword Spirit collided with the bear's paw.

  "bump"

  A muffled sound, Su Qingchen's figure rapidly retreated backwards, his foot fiercely stomping in mid-air, barely stabilizing his body. After landing on the ground, Su Qingchen secretly operated his Soul Decision, suppressing the violently surging soul power within him, and then slowly transformed it.

  The bear's body shape tightened, took a step back, and stabilized its body. It then let out an angry roar, and its body suddenly rushed towards Su Qingchen. The ground shook as it approached Su Qingchen, and when it reached him, its fat body directly charged at Su Qingchen.

  Su Qingchen's body suddenly tensed, and his soul power rapidly gathered in the hilt of his sword. The sword's light flashed once, and then Su Qingchen's foot fiercely kicked out, his right hand tightly grasping the sword as his body shape was like a fierce tiger descending a mountain, charging towards Di Xiong.

  "With a low, muffled sound, the sword spirit flashed again, like a sharp needle, directly piercing the bear's chest."

  Jian Ling pierced the chest of Di Xiong, who was charging at him. A yellow light flashed across Di Xiong's body, and Su Qingchen flew backward once again. Immediately after, Di Xiong let out a furious roar towards the sky, his body only pausing for a moment before he charged at Su Qingchen once more.

  The cold wind beside him furrowed his brow tightly, and couldn't help but feel a chill for Su Qingchen. Although Su Qingchen's previous move was good, concentrating his soul power to launch a point-breaking attack, thereby achieving the strongest attacking effect, his strength was far inferior to that of the fourth-order bear. The soul attack could not break through its defense at all, and would only repeatedly provoke the bear, causing it to explode.

  Su Qingchen retreated at the same time, seeing the land bear attacking again. His Soul Decision stopped rotating, and his body fell like a leaf, directly dropping to the ground, avoiding the land bear's attack. If Su Qingchen hadn't quickly come up with an idea, abandoning his defense and offense, making himself fall directly, he would have definitely clashed head-on with the land bear again earlier. Not only would he have been injured, but he would also have been in a passive state, making it extremely difficult for him to attack again later on.

  After falling to the ground, Su Qingchen quickly got up. After stabilizing his body, Su Qingchen activated his Xuan Ming technique, and a shield appeared on the palm of his right hand. The deep blue shield looked particularly dazzling. His palm turned into claws, and threads of soul power surged into the light spot on his palm. The light spot flashed with dazzling light, as if declaring something again.
