Yun Ze didn't speak. A flaming longbow appeared in his hand. He drew the bowstring and fired—the blazing arrow was his only response.
"Courting death!"Feng Yuan's expression darkened instantly, fury boiling within him at Yun Ze's dismissive attitude.Murderous intent surged.
Teleport—He vanished from where he stood, dodging the incoming attack and reappearing high above.
The moment he emerged, several more arrows shot toward him, forcing him to teleport again mid–armor release.
Appearing at a new location, he found himself once again met by tearing arrows. After two consecutive teleports, he finally completed the release of his three-word battle armor.
A set of purple battle armor enveloped him, lightweight and without burden, with wings on the back and a circlet around his head.
The moment the three-word armor activated, his aura nearly doubled, energy fluctuations reaching a level comparable to that of a Super Douluo.
With his armor now active, Feng Yuan no longer relied on teleportation to evade.He switched to dodging with pure speed instead.
Teleportation consumed tremendous soul power, and using it repeatedly drained even more. If he continued, he would not be able to sustain it.
He had originally believed he could easily avoid Yun Ze's attacks.Reality proved him painfully wrong.
Yun Ze's arrows were terrifyingly fast. Dodging one arrow was manageable—but several at once was extremely difficult.
Feng Yuan avoided a single arrow, but another struck his left chest, producing a sharp metallic clang.
The third-rank battle armor was tough enough; the flaming arrow failed to pierce through, only leaving a small hole.
The arrow shattered forward, erupting into flame that clung to the armor's surface and burned intensely.
The armor wasn't pierced—but the force behind the arrow pushed Feng Yuan backward, interrupting his attempt to close in.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"Five arrows sliced through the air, each following a different trajectory, all carefully calculated.
Feng Yuan moved to counter, agilely evading, but he still managed to dodge only one—The remaining four hit him squarely.
The impact forced him back another distance. Rather than approaching Yun Ze, he was getting farther and farther away.
"What incredible archery…"Feng Yuan's heart trembled. Yun Ze's archery had reached a transcendent level—so accurate it was terrifying.
If Yun Ze's soul power were equal to his own, Feng Yuan was certain every arrow would hit its mark.He wouldn't be able to dodge—not even with teleportation.
The arrows might become so fast he wouldn't even have time to teleport.
"This person must be killed. If he grows any stronger, he will become utterly monstrous."
Three arrows flew his way. Feng Yuan teleported immediately—His previous attempt to use speed to dodge had already proven futile.
The instant Feng Yuan disappeared, Yun Ze's wings beat, propelling him forward rapidly.He spun, drew the bow again, and fired five arrows in a single sweeping motion.
Even while turning, he continued charging in the same direction without slowing—his control over his own speed was almost frightening.
His third soul ring lit up.Soul Skill — Rockburst.
Behind Yun Ze, space cracked open with fissures of erupting magma.
Releasing a soul skill normally required time—time that decreased with mastery.
Yun Ze had reduced that time to the absolute minimum.From soul ring activation to skill release was only 0.1 seconds.
Feng Yuan reappeared, unable to strike Yun Ze—and was instead struck again by five arrows.
The moment the arrows landed—Magma exploded upward beneath him, engulfing him in flames several meters wide.
From within the magma, a spatial ripple emerged. Feng Yuan hurriedly teleported, escaping the molten eruption.
He appeared at a distance, his armor covered with viscous burning magma.
Before he could even catch his breath, he tried to teleport again—but he was a moment too slow and was struck by another surge of magma.
Barely escaping, Feng Yuan sensed another powerful energy fluctuation forming beneath him.This time, he gritted his teeth and stopped teleporting.
He forcibly endured the blast of magma—then his seventh soul ring lit up.
Martial Soul True Body—Void Mink.
A sharp, shrill cry rang out, echoing like it came from another dimension as space twisted around him.
A massive purple Void Mink appeared in the distance, its size comparable to a fierce tiger.The surrounding air rippled unnaturally, twisting like an illusion.
The moment his Martial Soul True Body activated, Feng Yuan's three-word armor automatically retracted.
It wasn't that he didn't want to use it—he couldn't.The body shape of the Void Mink was completely different from his human form; the same armor couldn't fit.
This was one of the disadvantages of beast martial souls:In Martial Soul True Body state, battle armor was difficult or impossible to use.
To counter this problem, beast-soul users often used another form of True Body, called Spirit Avatar Possession.
In simple terms, it preserved the human shape while receiving some of the True Body power boost.
Spirit Avatar Possession granted weaker enhancement, but allowed the use of armor—so overall strength was generally greater than True Body alone.
Of course, some beast martial souls were humanoid-shaped, such as apes or human-form spirits, and could use armor even in true form.
Feng Yuan's martial soul was special too—but not because it resembled a human.Instead, it had unique abilities that could only be used in full True Body form.
He was willing to abandon the armor's amplification for these abilities.
Without the armor's boost, his aura dropped significantly, returning to his actual level—Rank 92 Titled Douluo.
Although his aura decreased, the spatial fluctuations around him doubled, his body tightly connected to space itself.
"Well, at least he's saving me trouble."Yun Ze thought coldly.Giving up the armor just to use Martial Soul True Body didn't mean he was stupid.
At this moment, he was indeed stronger than if he had used Spirit Avatar Possession with armor.The doubled spatial fluctuation proved that.
This level of spatial power would make even some Super Douluo cautious.
However, using spatial powers against him was misguided—Feng Yuan failed to assess the situation properly.
Right now, the threat he posed was less than if he had used his armor to amplify his soul power.
The Void Mink stared coldly at Yun Ze—and wherever its gaze fell, space distorted.
Purple fur shone brilliantly, and a series of cracking sounds echoed around Yun Ze as space shattered into dense black fractures.
Space broke like shattered glass; anything within would collapse along with it.
This was one of the Void Mink's innate abilities—Space Mirror Shatter, collapsing space itself and breaking matter.
It was not one of Feng Yuan's soul skills, but a talent only available in True Body form.
Its power surpassed even his ninth soul skill, yet consumed only 60% of the energy.
In addition, he had another innate ability—comparable to a top-tier ninth soul skill of a control-type Soul Master, with overwhelming control.
It too only consumed 60% of normal ninth-skill energy.
It was precisely because of these two innate abilities that Feng Yuan chose to abandon his battle armor and activate True Body.
