Massacre

Bai Xu felt that he had wasted ten minutes. The only useful news he got was the timeline of the plot.

He lay down in the machine under the guidance of the staff, and entered the virtual world after a period of dizziness.

He was surrounded by dense forests, where the chirping of insects and birds was particularly obvious, and the feeling of life was relaxing and pleasant.

The trees here were extremely thick, each one dozens of meters high, and the green leaves were so dense that even sunlight could not penetrate directly, making the forest dark and deep.

Bai Xu used Naruto's running style, jumping back and forth on the branches, looking for prey.

"Wolves?"

A few dozen meters away, a pack of wolves was hunting. The prey was a wild boar with one-meter-long tusks.

"Thirteen demon wolves with decades of cultivation hunted a barbarian pig with a hundred years of cultivation. It's just the right time to test my skills."

Bai Xu concentrated and held his breath. His mental power turned into an invisible thread and floated out from the center of his eyebrows, slowly moving towards the wolves.

The most powerful thing among spiritual attribute soul masters was mental shock, but this kind of attack had great disadvantages. If the opponent was strong or had too high spiritual power, using mental shock would be suicidal.

But Bai Xu's situation was very different.

The thread slowly floated into the center of the head wolf's brow, and within a moment the head wolf bled to death suddenly. Seeing the death of the wolf king, the wolves were in chaos, and howls were heard everywhere. The thread floated to the top again under Bai Xu's control. Another wolf's eyebrows bled suddenly and died within a few seconds.

The wolves also began to fall one by one. In the end, only three demon wolves gave up their prey and ran away in fear.

"It's so easy to kill with mental power." Bai Xu didn't expect such a result. He was ready to accept the backlash, but the soulless beasts were still unable to withstand the continuous mental attacks.

A faint light drifted out from the corpses of the dead soul beasts and fell on Bai Xu, making his eyes flash slightly and increasing his soul's lifespan by several years.

Hoho!

The roar coming from the distance made Bai Xu disappear from there. As long as he did not reveal his true body, the soul beasts that were under a thousand years old in this primary spirit ascension platform would be slaughtered by him.

He did a lot in one day.

Outside the Spirit Pagoda, a staff member responsible for surveillance was stunned:

"Oh my god, what is he doing!?"

"A group of hundred-year-old long-tailed rats, a hundred-year-old wind demon wolf, and no less than a hundred green wind eagles were killed instantly by a young boy!"

The staff's body was trembling a little when he saw it. All the dead soul beasts were bleeding from their orifices, and died suddenly the next moment. Their low intelligence did not even find out the murderer, and they turned into pieces of virtual data and returned to the machine.

"Is this the number one genius in our East Sea Spirit Pagoda?"

"What a monster!"

After slaughtering so many soul beasts, his physical indicators did not fluctuate much, and his soul power consumption was even pitiful. How did he do it?

"Hurry up and record it!"

Bai Xu looked at the still purple soul ring on the Soul Ascension Platform and frowned. "Although low-level soul beasts are easy to kill, the added years are too few. The power is one-tenth of the age of the dead soul beast. After getting familiar with this place, I still need to hunt as many thousand-year soul beasts as possible."

And after confirming that spiritual attacks have absolute lethality to soul beasts that are a hundred years old and below, he also had to try the thousand-year soul beasts. If he was defeated and suffered backlash, he could just press the rescuer and leave.

After making up his mind, Bai Xu went to a forest where spirit beasts were relatively rare. There was an introduction in the spirit beast illustrated book. The stronger the territorial awareness of a powerful spirit beast, the fewer active beasts around it.

If the prediction was correct, there should be a thousand-year soul beast living in this forest.

Not long after Bai Xu's reconnaissance, he discovered a 5-meter-high cave under a cliff. It was so dark that it was impossible to see inside.

"This should be the lair of the thousand-year soul beast, right? I have to lure it out."

It was a pity that Bai Xu didn't know the mind control skills, otherwise he could control a few low-level soul beasts to lure it out, and he wouldn't have to put himself in danger.

The moment he jumped down from the tree and stepped on the ground, something in the cave opened its eyes and slowly disappeared into the cave.

Bai Xu stood at the entrance of the cave and shouted, then cautiously distanced himself a few dozen meters away and remained vigilant, but the cave was extremely quiet and no sound came out.

"How could it be? Is it asleep?"

After trying it a few more times, it was still the same. Bai Xu, who was cautious, felt that this was an empty nest. Just when he was about to leave, an ominous feeling arose spontaneously, and his body almost instinctively bent and jumped to the tree.

The next moment, a big mouth broke through the surface and bit Bai Xu's original position.

The figure of the soul beast also emerged from the ground. The dragon body, which was more than ten meters long, was covered with earth-yellow scale armor, and its yellow vertical pupils exuded majesty. It let out a dragon roar towards Bai Xu on the tree, venting its anger.

Bai Xu was a little surprised: "Millennium Earth Dragon!"

Earth Dragon was a sub-dragon species of the Mountain Dragon King lineage. It could control the earth element, and its scales were indestructible. It was difficult for soul beasts of the same level to break its defense.

The ground was overgrown with thorns, and countless soil turned into spears and shot at Bai Xu on the branches. He could only keep changing his body shape in the forest to dodge the earth dragon's earth element attack.

"With my current strength, can I break its armor with brute force?"

"Let's Try it!"

Bai Xu jumped down from the tree and came to the open space in front of the cave, ready to fight. With his powerful spiritual power and the blessing of earth element, his perception was very sharp, and he had the upper hand in every situation.

While thinking "rock hardening", a thin layer of armor appeared on the surface of Bai Xu's skin to protect himself.

The secret book also contained a variety of spells. The five internal organs corresponded to the five elements. The secrets of the five elements were practiced in conjunction with the secrets of the human body. The most profound one was the Five Elements Escape. It was said that there was nowhere to go within a radius of three hundred miles. It was a good way to escape. But the side effects were huge.

After using the secret method of escape, one was not allowed to use escape within one day; and after using it, one would lose one's ability to resist and one's life would be in danger; if one used it when one was seriously injured, one could escape, but one would die immediately afterwards.

Therefore, the user had to be able to judge the situation. Once he found that he was outmatched and the opponent was not capable of reconnaissance within three hundred miles, it was recommended to escape immediately when he was in good condition.

This 'rock hardening' was the accompanying earth spell, which could make the skin as hard as granite.

Bang bang bang!

After hardening, the Earth Dragon's spear no longer threatened Bai Xu.

The two understood each other, and the earth dragon looked up to the sky and roared, rushing towards him with great strides; Bai Xu was not willing to be outdone, and bent down and exerted his strength, as fast as a missile, only the afterimage could be seen.

Boom!

The two collided, the dragon's claws and fists exchanged, the dragon's teeth bit, punched and elbowed, one person and one dragon started a close combat, and every part of the body could become a lethal weapon.

But Bai Xu's speed was even better, and he dodged the sharp dragon's teeth many times as his figures intertwined.

But the Earth Dragon opened and closed, holding on to Bai Xu's fist and attacking fiercely. The more he fought, the more courageous he became. The dragon scales seemed to take away most of the punch power. The Earth Dragon, who had received more than a dozen heavy punches, was not hurt at all. Instead, he turned around and turned his tail into a whip, whipping Bai Xu backwards and flying backwards, breaking a big tree before he could stabilize himself.

"The dragon's body is too hard, especially the sub-dragon with the blood of the Mountain Dragon King. It can't be beaten like a human shield." Bai Xu commented, but there was no sense of frustration or defeat in his words.

His eyes were filled with light, and he held his hands empty, creating a golden sword about one meter long out of thin air.

Don't forget, he was now in the late stage of the Metal Essence. Different from the perception and defense brought by the Earth Essence to Bai Xu, when the Metal Essence master killed, the essence was full of sharpness, and when turned into a golden sword, it was unstoppable and invincible.

Bai Xu rushed forward and cut off his sharp claws with a sword. When he went crazy and wanted to bite him, he slashed with his sword again and his head was gone.

The thousand-year soul beast was declared dead.

"Metal Essence's attack power is still good. Next, I want to try the damage done by the mental attack on the thousand-year soul beast. I don't know why I always feel something is wrong. Logically speaking, the mental attack can only kill instantly when the gap between the cultivation levels of the two parties is too large. But I can kill several hundred-year-old soul beasts in an instant, which is really weird."

Bai Xu summarized the strange things about his battles so far. The only thing that was the weirdest was his mental attack. Even Huo Yuhao, who had the same spiritual attribute soul, did not have such a strong dominance during this period.

"Huh?"

At that moment, a green venom flew through the air and attacked Bai Xu at an extremely tricky angle.

But with his strong sense of perception, he had noticed the abnormality and turned sideways to avoid the attack. Taking a closer look, he saw an extremely hidden hundred-year-old man-faced demon spider sitting in the forest.

"Courting death!"

The mental attack was so thin that no one could detect it. As a result, the hundred-year-old man-faced demon spider fell instantly, and its spiritual sea collapsed and died.

Bai Xu's figure disappeared into the forest again, walking in the darkness and killing in the virtual world. The staff responsible for monitoring the external Spirit Pagoda were watching the real-time surveillance video. They had long been used to it. The first genius of their East Sea Spirit Pagoda was really well-deserved. He could survive alone in the Spirit Pagoda for seven days. Looking at his appearance, he still had energy left, but it seemed that he couldn't find the thousand-year soul beast.

When Bai Xu was about to finish, the tall man came to the monitoring room.

He said in a deep voice: "Delete all Bai Xu's battle videos in the past seven days, and don't leave any backups!"

Leng Jiuming was stern and solemn, his words were unquestionable, and there was a faint tendency to explode his soul power to intimidate, so the staff hurriedly followed his instructions. Bai Xu's battle video was deleted.

After confirming that it was correct, Leng Jiuming came to the war room and waited for Bai Xu to wake up.

When Bai Xu woke up, he saw Leng Jiuming for the first time and said, "Teacher, are you still here?"

"No, I just came."

"..."

Leng Jiuming said seriously: "You are taking too many risks, exposing your secrets like this. Aren't you afraid that the higher-ups will come to investigate you? You can use other elements to fight without a second martial soul. If this news comes out, the soul master world will madly snatch your secrets."

"If it is exposed, I'll say that I have a second soul. With the two martial soul as a cover, I don't think the soul masters can beat me later." 

Bai Xu was extremely confident, and at the same time he continued: "Teacher, do you still remember the handwritten manuscript of some of the mysteries of the human body that I wrote to you a year ago? A book?"

"Well, that book is pure nonsense."

"No, teacher. I practiced according to that book."

! ! ! !

"Is it possible that your earth elemental ability is your spleen?"

"That's right."
