Two figures suddenly crossed paths in the center of the open space below the cliff.

Although the Soul-Stealing Wolf had an injury to its right foreleg, its physical attributes as a four-thousand-year-old soul beast were still terrifying.

Its pounce was so fast that its movements were almost invisible; its dark gray form was like a bolt of lightning, and its sharp wolf claws, accompanied by the sound of wind cutting through the air, went straight for Su Yuntao's throat.

Su Yuntao did not take the hit head-on. He suddenly tapped the ground with his toes and slid his body back several feet. At the same time, his soul power and Xuan Tian Gong internal force erupted. His second soul skill, Silver Wolf Armor, instantly covered his entire body. A layer of faint silver-gray light adhered to his body like armor, covering all his previously exposed skin.

This is his second soul skill, Silver Wolf Armor, which was originally only able to block one attack from an ordinary hundred-year-old soul beast. Now, due to the infusion of Xuan Tian Gong's internal energy, the layer of silver-gray light is several times thicker than usual.

The Soul-Stealing Wolf missed its target with its claw, immediately changing tactics and sweeping its massive tail across the battlefield.

Su Yuntao crossed his arms in front of his chest and took the blow head-on. A tremendous force pushed him back three or four steps, carving two deep furrows in the ground beneath his feet, but the Silver Wolf Armor remained unbroken.

It was injured and its strength was much weaker than when it was at its peak.

Su Yuntao felt a slight sense of relief and was about to continue circling the wolf in a war of attrition when the Soul-Stealing Wolf suddenly took two steps back, raised its head, its chest heaving violently, and then opened its mouth wide, letting out a sharp and long howl:

"Awooo..."

This wolf howl almost solidified into a tangible sound wave, carrying a layer of dark gray mental fluctuations, and swept towards Su Yuntao like a tidal wave.

The air distorted slightly with that whistling sound, the fallen leaves on the ground were shaken and scattered, and even the armored giant lizard that was still groaning in the distance trembled.

This is the most terrifying method of the Soul-Stealing Wolf—the Soul-Stealing Wolf Howl.

If an ordinary Soul Master were hit head-on by this wolf howl, they would either become stiff in their movements or suffer a complete mental breakdown and collapse.

But Su Yuntao stood there, feeling as if a gust of wind had blown through his brain, causing it to sway slightly before his mind cleared up again.

As the top-tier internal skill of the Tang Clan, the core function of the Mysterious Heaven Skill is to nourish and strengthen the spirit. Although its effects are not usually apparent, when faced with mental attacks, the exceptionally resilient mental barrier nurtured by the Mysterious Heaven Skill reveals its power for the first time.

The Soul-Stealing Wolf's greatest advantage has been negated.

The Soul-Stealing Wolf clearly hadn't expected that after its howl, Su Yuntao would act as if nothing had happened, a fleeting look of obvious confusion crossing its dark silver vertical pupils.

It had roamed the Soul Hunting Forest for many years and had never encountered such a situation before. How could a human Great Soul Master possibly withstand its Soul-Seizing Wolf Howl?

Seizing the moment of hesitation, Su Yuntao suddenly accelerated, heading straight for the Soul-Stealing Wolf's injured right foreleg.

The Soul-Stealing Wolf turned around hastily, but its injured leg slowed it down. Su Yuntao had already closed in on its right side, and with a flash of claw light, the Rending Wind Wolf Claw slammed into the deep, bone-revealing wound at close range.

The Soul-Stealing Wolf let out a mournful howl, and its body suddenly swayed to the side.

Without hesitation, Su Yuntao followed up with another attack, his claws slicing deep into its wound, the sound of bones breaking clearly audible.

The Soul-Stealing Wolf's massive body finally gave way, and it lost its balance and fell to one side.

Su Yuntao took a half step back, and the next moment, all the internal energy of his Xuan Tian Gong gathered in his right wolf claw. He slammed the claw out and accurately hit the throat of the Soul-Devouring Wolf.

The Soul-Stealing Wolf's body twitched violently, its massive form struggling on the ground for a moment before falling completely still.

Su Yuntao knelt on one knee, panting heavily. The silver wolf armor slowly dissipated, revealing his scarred arm underneath.

However, he no longer had time to pay any attention to this.

At this moment, all his attention was drawn to the corpse of the Soul-Stealing Wolf.

The slowly gathering dark purple light detached from the Soul-Stealing Wolf's body and hovered three feet above the ground.

The halo was deep and solid, with a faint spiritual fluctuation flowing across its surface. Its quality was far superior to any other soul ring he had ever seen.

Su Yuntao swallowed hard, forced himself to stand up, and walked to the soul ring.

He reached out and touched the dark purple light. A warm energy flowed from his fingertips into his body, creating a strange resonance with his own soul power.

He could sense that the attributes of this spirit ring were extremely compatible with his Lone Wolf Martial Soul.

Su Yuntao sat cross-legged, focused his mind, and began to guide the power of the soul ring into himself.

The dark purple light flowed slowly along his meridians, like a gentle stream, without violent resistance or uncontrolled fluctuations.

A quarter of an hour later, the light of the spirit ring gradually subsided, eventually settling steadily in the position of his third spirit ring. The deep purple halo slowly rose and then sank steadily into his spirit ring sequence.

He opened his eyes, and a piece of information naturally surfaced in his mind.

[Third Soul Skill - Soul-Stealing Wolf Howl]

Effect: The wolf howls to the sky, releasing a powerful sonic wave containing a strong mental impact, spreading forward in a fan shape. Targets hit will fall into a brief state of mental confusion and blurred consciousness, their soul power will stagnate, and if their mental strength is greatly different, they will experience hallucinations of fear, or even mental collapse.

Su Yuntao silently read through the description of this new soul skill, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved up.

Mental impact-type soul skills are rare in the entire soul master world, let alone those with fan-shaped area control.

With this move, his combat power in group battles more than doubled.

Just as he was happily planning how to use his new soul skill, a line of pale golden seal script suddenly flashed before his eyes.

[Successfully absorbed a 4,100-year-old spirit ring. Intelligence value +41.]

Su Yuntao froze, all his thoughts interrupted in an instant.

He paused for a moment, then quickly brought up the system interface, his eyes scanning the intelligence value column eagerly. The intelligence quota had jumped from 1 to 42.

He stared at the number for several seconds, his mind buzzing.

Besides daily refresh, are there other ways to obtain intelligence points?

Moreover, it increased by 41 points at once.

This discovery energized him greatly.

It's important to know that intelligence points can be used for deduction. He previously deduced the Mysterious Heaven Technique just once, and it forcefully raised his strength to the peak of the Soul Venerable level. If he had enough intelligence points...

Su Yuntao suddenly turned his head, his gaze locking onto a hundred-year-old soul beast that was still struggling to survive not far away.
