Douluo Continent: I am a Hyperion larva, and I devour Xiao Wu at the start.

Chapter 21 Hua Qiang's Watermelon Knife

While the Spirit Master from the Spirit Hall was wailing in pain, Jiang Chen was feeling the energy being absorbed into his body.

"The energy is unexpectedly high."

Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised as he absorbed the Soul Master's energy.

In terms of the energy Jiang Chen absorbed, this Soul Master actually gave him the highest amount.

Jiang Chen estimated that this Soul Master was most likely a Soul King of level 50 or so, which, if converted to a Soul Beast, would be at least a ten-thousand-year-old level.

Moreover, this Soul Master's Martial Soul is of fairly good quality; it appears to be a relatively high-level Martial Soul.

This was something Jiang Chen really hadn't expected. He had just arrived in the Soul Hunting Forest of Soto City, and before he could even eat any soul beasts, he had already eaten a Soul King-level Soul Master.

Seriously, who could tell that this Soul Master is at the Soul King level?

He jumped down from the tree and walked arrogantly toward him.

The result is that they are no different from those soul beasts that have existed for thousands of years and soul masters who are over level 40.

Jiang Chen teleported and instantly killed him. What's there to say? The Douluo Continent series is way too unrealistic.

Even this needs to be categorized into different levels.

Jiang Chen approached the Soul Master and raised his scythe.

"While you've provided me with plenty of energy, what's the meaning of not providing me with fear?"

Indeed, although Jiang Chen severed both hands of this Spirit Hall Soul Master and devoured his Martial Soul and Soul Power, he did not feel any fear towards Jiang Chen.

This resulted in Jiang Chen not being able to get another portion of food, a continuous supply.

Since we can't instill fear in Jiang Chen, there's no need to let him live.

Just as Jiang Chen raised his scythe towards the Soul Master, the Soul Master seemed to realize what was happening and began to instill fear in Jiang Chen:

"No, I don't want to die! Don't kill me! I don't want to die!!"

The Soul Master endured the pain, trying to get away from Jiang Chen's scythe.

Seeing the Soul Master's terrified expression and the fear he had begun to instill in him, Jiang Chen put down his scythe with satisfaction.

"They won't shed a tear until they see the coffin; wouldn't it have been better if they'd come sooner?"

Jiang Chen then vanished from the spot in a flash.

Jiang Chen used teleportation to enter the Soul Hunting Forest, preparing to devour soul beasts and grow stronger.

This time, after Jiang Chen entered the Soul Hunting Forest, no other Soul Masters bothered him.

Jiang Chen walked unimpeded into the Soul Hunter Forest, but he still cunningly shrunk his size to 50 centimeters.

Surprisingly, it works quite well. When it's time to fight, it instantly grows larger, catching the enemy off guard.

Jiang Chen encountered a soul beast not far into the Soul Hunting Forest.

However, looking at the soul beast that was less than a meter long, Jiang Chen didn't even have the desire to catch it. This soul beast was clearly at the tenth level.

It would be a waste of time for Jiang Chen to devour a ten-year-level soul beast.

Jiang Chen then continued walking into the interior of the Soul Hunter Forest.

This time, Jiang Chen hadn't gone far when he discovered a hundred-year-old soul beast.

The sight of a hundred-year-old soul beast gave Jiang Chen the urge to take action.

As he passed by, Jiang Chen stretched out his claws and swiftly grabbed the hundred-year-old soul beast, holding it tightly in his grasp.

Ignoring the soul beast's struggles, Jiang Chen directly retracted his claws and sucked it into his body, beginning to forcibly devour it.

Under Jiang Chen's devouring ability, these soul beasts had no ability to resist and were instantly devoured and turned into energy.

For soul beasts that were over a hundred years old, Jiang Chen would simply grab them and leave. He would grab them if he could, and if he couldn't, he would just leave them alone. It was just a matter of convenience.

As Jiang Chen continued to absorb soul beasts of the hundred-year level...

Jiang Chen's energy has reached a certain threshold.

Feeling his body grow, Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised. How could devouring some hundred-year-old soul beasts make him grow?

However, as he grew, Jiang Chen soon discovered that the energy of these hundred-year-old soul beasts was not enough for him to grow stronger once again.

Instead, the Soul Masters left behind by Jiang Chen constantly provided him with negative emotions such as fear and despair.

It was through the accumulation of this energy that Jiang Chen reached a stage of growth.

A hundred-year-old soul beast is at most an add-on; these negative emotions are the main problem.

"It's 3.3 meters now."

Feeling the changes in his body, Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

Jiang Chen then stopped paying attention to the changes in his body and continued to advance deeper into the Soul Hunter Forest.

However, during Jiang Chen's journey this time, he did not encounter any spirit beasts, but instead discovered a group of spirit masters hunting spirit beasts.

"Huaqiang, you attack from the left, and I'll attack from the right to take down this mandala snake."

The Soul Master, who had activated a Martial Soul resembling a beetle, spoke to the Soul Master beside him who was holding a sharp watermelon knife.

The soul master known as Hua Qiang raised four soul rings beneath his feet and echoed:

"no problem!"

As he spoke, Hua Qiang, holding a watermelon knife, unleashed his soul power, creating a crater as he charged towards the Mandragora Serpent.

"First Soul Skill! Watermelon Blade!"

As Hua Qiang finished speaking, a transparent blade suddenly extended from the watermelon knife in his hand.

The original normal-sized watermelon knife was transformed into a two-meter-long giant watermelon knife.

Grasping the enlarged watermelon knife with both hands, Hua Qiang slashed at the datura snake.

Faced with Hua Qiang's attack, the Mandala Serpent naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait to be killed.

The datura snake lowered its body and began to swim, dodging Hua Qiang's attacks, not wanting to be cleaved in two like a watermelon.

But the datura snake didn't know that his dodging move was exactly what Hua Qiang wanted.

After forcing the Mandragora Snake to stop its movement, another Soul Master, possessed by a beetle, used the beetle's two huge pincers to clamp down on the Mandragora Snake.

After the datura snake was trapped, Hua Qiang's eyes lit up, knowing it was time.

"Fourth Soul Skill: Guaranteed Ripe Watermelon Knife"

As Hua Qiang unleashed his fourth soul skill, the Mandragora Snake transformed into a watermelon in his eyes.

As Hua Qiang watched the datura snake transform into a watermelon, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly accelerated several times over.

A flash of cold light, and the datura snake was sliced ​​in two.

After severing the Mandragora Serpent, the other beetle-wielding Soul Master immediately addressed the other waiting Soul Master:

"Boy, grab your knife now and plunge it into the head of the mandrake snake."

Clearly, these two Soul Masters were there to hunt for Martial Souls to obtain Soul Rings and advance their ranks.

After the beetle-wielding Soul Master finished speaking, the Soul Master standing to the side immediately grabbed his blade and rushed towards the Mandragora Snake, which had been cut in two and was writhing on the ground.

However, just as this Soul Master was about to approach the Mandragora Serpent, a figure appeared ahead of him and arrived beside the Mandragora Serpent.

Upon arriving beside the Mandragora Serpent, Jiang Chen extended his claws, grabbed the serpent which had been split in two, and began to absorb it directly into his body.

"Oh no, a soul beast is interfering."

The beetle-type Soul Master looked at Jiang Chen's figure and realized that this Soul Hunt might fail.
