Ye Yu simultaneously removed the Heavy Iron weights from his arms and legs, and immediately felt his body as light as a feather.
Ye Yu jumped in place a few times and sighed lightly: "My body feels so much lighter now."
Flande was extremely astonished and asked: "Xiao Yu, how much total weight have you been carrying?"
Flande could sense that the combined weight of the Gravity Vest and the Heavy Iron was definitely thousands of pounds.
However, Ye Yu's response left Flande so shocked that he was almost speechless.
"In total, it's about sixteen thousand pounds."
Flande: "!!!"
"This… how is this possible?!" Flande found it hard to believe it was so heavy. Clearly, only six years old, even if his body was different from others, this was too monstrous!
Flande bent over to pick up the Gravity Vest, and as he lifted it, he found it extremely heavy, weighing about eight thousand pounds.
Flande exclaimed: "It seems you are even more monstrous than I imagined. You really are the first monster I've ever met."
As the dean of Shrek Academy, Flande had seen many monsters, but Ye Yu could be called a monster among monsters. No little monster had ever left Flande this shocked and incredulous. It seemed like a monster of Ye Yu's level shouldn't even exist.
Ye Yu took the Gravity Vest, placed it and the Heavy Iron into the space of the Twenty-Four Bridge Moonlit Night.
"Dean Flande, let's get moving!" Ye Yu said expectantly.
"Alright."
Flande quickened his pace as he moved towards the deeper part of the Soul Hunting Forest, while Ye Yu's speed was so fast that he could easily keep up with him.
The wind whistled past their ears, and the surroundings blurred rapidly.
Upon reaching the inner regions of the Soul Hunting Forest, they began searching for suitable Soul Beasts.
If it were the Nine-Hearted Begonia, there would be no need to consider what kind of Soul Beast to acquire, as no matter what kind it is, the skill it brings would only be one, Healing. But the Nine Spirits Black Begonia is different, and Ye Yu felt it would have more than just one Healing Ability.
So, the Master advised to look for a Soul Beast with strong healing abilities, as well as one with great strength and defense.
Upon arriving here, they had already encountered several thousand-year-old Soul Beasts that wanted to attack Ye Yu, but Flande's Soul Power scared them away.
Soon, Flande's eyes lit up: "It's a Rapid Growth Tiger. Judging by the purple glow it emits and its length, it's a little over a thousand-year-old Soul Beast. Let's go for it."
Ye Yu looked over. This Rapid Growth Tiger resembled a gecko but was much larger.
Flande explained: "The Rapid Growth Tiger has extremely strong regenerative abilities. Among Soul Beasts, it's one of the most suitable for you, as the Master suggested. This Rapid Growth Tiger would not be easily hunted, even by a Soul Master of corresponding strength. Its combat power might be weaker, but it's impossible to kill because its Life Energy is too strong, and it regenerates quickly."
Ye Yu nodded: "Mm, Dean Flande, I'll trouble you to handle this."
"It's no trouble. After all, I am a Soul Saint. Dealing with this thousand-year-old Soul Beast is simple. However, although it's just a thousand-year-old Soul Beast, I must go all out to crush it, make it give up on living, and feel that death is a relief. This way, you can ease through the Soul Ring absorption."
Ye Yu naturally knew it was the Master who had reminded Flande that against Soul Beasts, one must go all out.
A pair of huge wings unfurled behind Flande, covering his whole body with a layer of feathers, his eyes turning yellow, and pupils vertical, like eagle eyes.
Seven Soul Rings surrounded Flande's body, encircling him one by one from top to bottom.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black!
Without displaying the Soul Rings, it was clear this was the best Soul Ring configuration.
Swoosh!
The Rapid Growth Tiger, sensing a strong danger, took off running. Its crawling speed was so fast that even at full speed, Ye Yu could hardly catch up. However, trying to escape in front of an Agile Attack Type Soul Saint like Flande was impossible.
Soon, the Rapid Growth Tiger was caught up with. Even its resistance was futile, completely overpowered.
Ye Yu watched the Rapid Growth Tiger emitting constant pitiful screams and sighed: "Bad luck for you."
Flande one-sidedly ravaging the Rapid Growth Tiger also allowed Ye Yu to see the impressive Life Energy and Self-healing Power of the Rapid Growth Tiger. If it were any other thousand-year-old Soul Beast, it would have been dead long ago, but the Rapid Growth Tiger's life force had hardly weakened.
Despite being covered in wounds, it was healing rapidly, and its severed tail was regrowing swiftly.
Flande said coldly: "Why bother? This will only make you suffer more."
Boom, boom, boom, boom…
Zap, zap, zap, zap…
The muffled sounds and tragic cries kept echoing, making Ye Yu feel embarrassed to keep watching. The scene in front of him was like an adult bullying a child.
Flande was utterly overwhelming this Soul Beast, while on the other hand, the Master was in real danger.
As the Mandala Snake landed, its body arched and suddenly shot towards the Master and Tang San at a high speed.
The Master's eyes were filled with panic. If he were to die, so be it. But if Xiao San, who had just begun his life journey, were to perish here, it would be too tragic.
The Master decided to escape with all his might and shouted: "Release gas like smoke, Hypnotic Sleep Luo Sanpao!"
With a muffled bang akin to rolling thunder, a yellow gas swept backward, and the Mandala Snake emerged unharmed from it, unaffected by the hypnotic smoke due to its nature as a top-tier poisonous creature being immune to it.
The Master felt a pang of regret, knowing he should've asked Flande for help too, as dealing with a three or four hundred-year-old Soul Beast would only take a few seconds.
"Xiao San, I'm sorry. I was overconfident. I didn't expect to encounter a four-hundred-year Mandala Snake." The Master apologized.
Tang San replied firmly: "Teacher, we might not be doomed. Let's give it our all for a slim chance of survival!"
Seeing Tang San face the four-hundred-year Mandala Snake without despair, but instead with rising fighting spirit and a strong will to survive, the Master silently admired: "Indeed, I picked the right disciple."
The Master nodded resolutely: "Yes, until the last moment, we shall not give up."
The Master felt that hope was slim, but Tang San had his trump cards. Without such, no matter how strong the will to live, it would be futile.
By this time, the Rapid Growth Tiger had been beaten almost to death by Flande, severely maimed and swollen beyond recognition, like a pig.
A cold sweat appeared on Ye Yu's forehead, and he marveled: "Dean Flande, when you unleash your power, it's really terrifying. If I hadn't been watching the whole time, I'd doubt whether this Soul Beast was the Rapid Growth Tiger."
Flande laughed heartily, feeling a bit ashamed of so thoroughly beating such a thousand-year-old Soul Beast as a distinguished Soul Saint.
"Haha, I feel a bit embarrassed myself. That's why such tasks should really be left to someone else, like Xiao Gang's expertise in this area."
As Flande recalled something, he couldn't help but shiver.
The Rapid Growth Tiger, nearly dead, could still continue healing, but it gave up, as continued healing only meant more torture. Now, death seemed to be a relief for it.
Seeing the Rapid Growth Tiger had lost its will to live, Flande achieved his purpose.
"Xiao Yu, do you want me to give it a few more punches? Although it's just about dead now, you should make sure to deliver a killing blow… it's not like…"
Flande suddenly widened his eyes, his speech cut short.
Ye Yu clenched his right fist tightly, his right arm muscles bulged, delivering a ferocious punch towards the Rapid Growth Tiger!
BAM!!
"AOOO!!!"
Amidst the tragic scream, the Rapid Growth Tiger flew a hundred meters away, crashing through several large trees in the process.
Flande questioned his judgment: "Is this really a Support Type Artifact Soul Master?"
