Chapter 5 Elemental Vision
"Watch out, everyone! It's a pack of wolves, a pack of golden wolves! We're surrounded!"
Xu Yunxiao gave a warning and quickly stepped back, blocking the way for the crowd.
Golden Wolf? Kong Tianxu observed the soul beasts that appeared one after another around him, and memories surfaced in his mind.
This type of spirit beast is actually called a metal wolf, a type of metal-attribute spirit beast. Although it is not as powerful as the four other types of metal spirit beasts such as lions, tigers, leopards, and bears, it excels in living in groups and has an extremely volatile temper. Although it belongs to the strength-type spirit beast category, it is quite agile, especially skilled in close combat, making it very difficult to deal with.
These golden wolves all looked similar, differing only in size. The largest exceeded three meters in length, while the smallest, even when standing upright, was taller than an adult. Their metallic fur stood out prominently in the forest. There were at least thirty or forty of these wolves. After surrounding the group, they immediately began to emit low, menacing howls.
Not far away, the most robust golden wolf let out a long howl, and the hard fur on its back, gleaming with a metallic luster, suddenly stood up. Its body shot out like lightning, and the stood-up fur instantly transformed into a large clump of metal spikes that covered it from the side.
Most soul beasts, before reaching ten thousand years of cultivation, possess intelligence essentially no different from wild animals. For this pack of golden wolves, the standard for judging things is simply whether they are edible and delicious. And the bloodline and muscles of soul masters, constantly nourished by soul power, are the most delicious food for them. Although this golden wolf leader is not yet ten thousand years old, and its fur has not yet turned bronze-gold, it is at least nine thousand years old. On the outskirts of the mixed zone, their pack's power is already formidable.
Just as the leader of the golden wolves launched its attack, the other golden wolves also leaped out of the forest at the same time. With their swift speed, clusters of metal spikes rained down from the sky, converging on the group.
Xu Yunxiao, standing at the forefront, snorted coldly and slammed the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield heavily onto the ground. Countless small shields formed from black water waves appeared precisely in the path of the metal spikes, deflecting most of the flying metal spikes in one move.
Immediately afterwards, a black halo suddenly spread outward from the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield, like a huge air shield pushing outward, instantly enveloping the rain of spikes that the golden wolf leader had shot in front of him.
Amidst a muffled roar, sharp black ripples erupted, followed by a series of dense crackling sounds. Most of the metal spikes were scattered by the shock, while some were directly shattered and fell helplessly to the ground.
It is unclear whether Xu Yunxiao did this intentionally or not. While he used his second soul skill, Xuanming Shield Formation, and his first soul skill, Xuanming Shock, to neutralize most of the golden wolf's attacks, he missed a cluster of metal spikes not far behind him. The target of these metal spikes happened to be Kong Tianxu's location.
Do metal-type soul beasts use ranged attacks?
Kong Tianxu was somewhat surprised, but he didn't slow down at all. With a long howl, the scorching heat began to spread from his body.
A blazing inferno shot into the sky, completely obscuring his figure. Kong Tianxu simply flicked his long fingers, and several lines of fire burst forth, making contact with the incoming metal spikes one by one, melting them completely.
A wave of intense heat swept in, distorting the surrounding air. Xu Yuanxi, who was closest to Kong Tianxu, was shocked by his strength and had to quickly summon the Xuanming Shield to shield herself and Xu Yingluo before she could feel a little better.
She and Xu Yingluo exchanged a glance, their beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration:
"His martial soul is fire element?"
Among the martial souls of soul masters, all sorts of special existences may appear, but elemental martial souls are undoubtedly one of the most powerful, with a very high upper limit and a not too low lower limit. They are among the few martial souls whose own level will increase as the soul master's cultivation level increases.
The flames Kong Tianxu had ignited were already approaching a thousand degrees. This was absolutely the most powerful elemental martial soul she had ever seen, probably not far from the legendary ultimate fire. No wonder even her top-tier water-attribute martial soul, the Xuanming Turtle, felt restrained.
I wonder what her expression will be when she learns that this fire element, which she has never seen before, is actually less than one-seventh of Kong Tianxu's strength.
The Golden Wolves' attack continued, but the first wave of flying spikes was ineffective, so they changed tactics.
The leader of the golden wolves seemed to sense that Xu Yunxiao was not easy to deal with, and it quickly disappeared back into the woods. Dozens of golden wolves howled and pounced on it.
Xu Yunxiao and his group immediately demonstrated their excellent teamwork, with no one behaving erratically and each releasing their martial spirit to defend themselves.
Among them, besides Xu Yunxiao who kept waving his shield to knock away the surrounding golden wolves, the one who caught Kong Tianxu's attention the most was undoubtedly the Soul Emperor Ye Handong.
His limbs simultaneously contracted by a third, a massive carapace bulged on his back, and his entire body shimmered with black light. Six spirit rings—three yellow, two purple, and one black—rose from beneath his feet. Facing the onslaught of several golden wolves, he swiftly spun the carapace behind him, sending several wolves flying from his sides. He then retracted his head, his entire skull disappearing into his chest cavity, dodging the sharp claws that attacked from the front. The next moment, his head emerged from his chest cavity, and with a single breath, he spewed out a stream of black, icy liquid. A golden wolf with hundreds of years of cultivation was corroded and fell to the ground by the black liquid he exhaled.
The Xuanwu Turtle is also one of the top defensive beast spirits. The current Xuanming Turtle spirit is a mutated spirit formed by the combination of the Xuanwu Turtle family and a Xuanwu Turtle spirit master. It can be said to have the strengths of both.
Xu Yuanxi was not to be outdone. Among the four soul rings on her body, two yellow and two purple, the first two shone in turn, and the layers of shield shadows made the places that others had missed completely impenetrable.
Among those present who revealed their spirit rings, she was the only one with the best-matched spirit rings. Moreover, according to Kong Tianxu's investigation, her bone age was around eighteen years old, yet she had reached the bottleneck of level fifty, which was ten levels higher than Xu Yingluo standing next to her.
Such a cultivation speed can definitely be called genius, and she has a real chance of becoming a Title Douluo in the future. What puzzled Kong Tianxu was that her status among the group was clearly lower than that of Xu Yingluo, whose talent was much inferior.
After passively withstanding the attacks of the golden wolves for a moment, the group had figured out the strength of the pack. Xu Yunxiao did not rush in. He wielded the Xuanming Shield with wide, sweeping movements, but the golden wolves, who were best at close combat, could not even get within a meter of him. Instead, their heavy tortoise shells struck him accurately in the waist each time.
The wolf had a head of bronze, a body of iron, and a waist of tofu. Before long, several golden wolves died at his hands.
Because of his presence, the number of golden wolves facing him was the fewest, and Kong Tianxu naturally faced less pressure. He only needed to release a wave of flame from time to time to repel the golden wolves.
Xu Yunxiao wanted to observe the details of his battle, but he was completely shrouded in flames, and even his spirit rings were not clearly visible, so he had to give up.
Kong Tianxu's move was actually out of necessity. Although after ten thousand years of development and progress, exceeding the optimal ratio of spirit ring age was no longer a shocking thing, his spirit ring ratio was still too unconventional.
In the first millennium, if the Xuanming Sect members are knowledgeable enough, they might easily deduce that he belongs to the Body Sect or has twin martial souls, which would be quite troublesome.
Perhaps because they were all defensive-type Soul Masters, although the Xuanming Sect members resisted easily, they were not quick to inflict effective damage on the golden wolf pack. Only Xu Yunxiao and Ye Handong occasionally killed a few with their Soul Skills, but the cumulative number was quite considerable.
Kong Tianxu observed coldly, and based on his understanding of high-level soul masters, he immediately judged that the two of them had not used their full strength.
Perhaps in order to hone the sect's combat capabilities, their current performance clearly shows that they are holding back.
Meanwhile, Xu Yingluo was quite relaxed, not even releasing her martial spirit, but instead enjoying the brilliant firelight behind Kong Tianxu with great interest.
Just as the group was steadily expanding their gains, suddenly, a mournful howl rang out, and a bronze-colored figure suddenly rushed out from the side. At the same time, the golden wolf pack no longer held back, and their attack became even more frenzied, suppressing the group with all their might.
The golden wolf leader, hidden in the forest, finally couldn't hold back any longer and made its move. With a roar to the sky, its whole body shimmered with a strong metallic luster. Its muscles suddenly swelled up, and it charged fiercely towards the formation that had seemed unbreakable just a second ago, blasting a weaker Soul King backward.
Kong Tianxu raised his hand and repelled a golden wolf that was biting him. His keen senses seemed to have caught something, and his eyes underwent a very subtle change. A silver light shone in his pupils, and the whole world turned into a large, colorful block of color in his eyes.
One of the Silver Dragon Martial Soul's innate abilities is Elemental Vision, which presents the world's appearance in an elemental form. This is a dominant vision unique to the Silver Dragon clan, the elemental controllers.
From this perspective, Kong Tianxu saw that in addition to the bright metallic light representing the leader of the Golden Wolves in the arena, there was an even larger and brighter ball of light in the dense forest, which was slowly moving towards them.
The flames in his hands intensified.
