The Titan Giant Ape initially completely ignored Ye Yu, acknowledging only the Titled Douluo in front of it. It didn't recognize Ye Yu because he had his back turned earlier.
Sword Douluo originally thought Ye Yu's words were too foolish. The Titan Giant Ape was the King of the Forest, unafraid even of him, a level ninety-five Titled Douluo. Why would it care about Ye Yu?
However, Sword Douluo was soon astonished to find that the Titan Giant Ape's raised fist had not yet been swung. Its lantern-like eyes were glaring at Ye Yu. To Sword Douluo's horror, the Titan Giant Ape's eyes showed apprehension!
This... how is this possible? Did I see it wrong?
But, clearly not!
Ye Yu looked directly at the Titan Giant Ape. If it weren't for the previous incident, he wouldn't speak like this. Encountering the Titan Giant Ape would have made him panic, as their power difference was worlds apart. But since the Titan Giant Ape was scared off by him last time, he wasn't afraid anymore.
"So, will you give me face?"
Ye Yu's question made the Titan Giant Ape step back, under Sword Douluo's shocked gaze, its giant fist loosened, and its right arm lowered.
"This..." Sword Douluo was incredibly incredulous.
The Titan Giant Ape decided not to fight. Did it really give Ye Yu face?
The majestic King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape, actually gave a Soul Sect face! Even if I told people, they wouldn't believe it!
Ye Yu said, "Elder Jian, let's go. I have completely absorbed it."
Ye Yu's words snapped Sword Douluo out of his shock, and he nodded to leave.
As Ye Yu and the others left, Sword Douluo was shocked to find that the Titan Giant Ape didn't follow.
Earlier, he was ready to fight with all his might, but unexpectedly, Ye Yu resolved it with just one sentence.
Sword Douluo was very curious why the Titan Giant Ape would give face to a human Soul Sect.
Flande was astonished inside: "Just as Zhao Wuji said, it's true, the Titan Giant Ape really is apprehensive of Xiao Yu."
The Titan Giant Ape returned and upon reaching their territory, the Celestial Cyan Bull Python was surprised: "Why are you back so quickly? Letting that human escape?"
The Titan Giant Ape replied gloomily, "I encountered him, but I didn't act."
"Oh?" The Celestial Cyan Bull Python was surprised: "Even if the other party is a Titled Douluo, you shouldn't be afraid."
The Titan Giant Ape nodded: "Of course, I'm not afraid of him, but I'm afraid of that kid. I ran into him again."
The Titan Giant Ape was very frustrated, feeling rather unlucky.
The Celestial Cyan Bull Python realized who the Titan Giant Ape was referring to.
"Well, although you and I are the king and emperor of the Xingdou Great Forest, anything related to the Black Dragon should not be provoked."
The Titan Giant Ape nodded: "Mm, and I'm also friends with Xiao Wu."
...
Once they reached the forest outskirts, there was no danger at all. Flande asked curiously, "Xiao Yu, how is your Fourth Soul Skill?"
Sword Douluo also wanted to hear about it, wondering what kind of Fourth Soul Skill such a talent would have.
Ye Yu said, "I call my Fourth Soul Skill Poisonous Milk, a large-scale poison attack."
Flande and Sword Douluo were taken aback—Poisonous Milk? They had never heard of such a term in their lives.
Ye Yu explained, "My First Soul Skill is Healing, while Poisonous Milk is the opposite. Healing restores health, whereas Poisonous Milk reduces the opponent's health. As a Four-Ring Soul Sect, using this skill decreases the life of everyone within a hundred meters by fifty percent."
Hearing this, Flande was appalled: "Ignoring defense? Ignoring everything? Just by being hit, would the opponent lose half their life?"
Ye Yu nodded: "Yes, if they're lower in rank than me and are hit by Poisonous Milk, they will directly die, extremely tragically. Those who are within twenty levels higher than me will still lose fifty percent of their life, regardless of how strong their defense and life energy are, their life will decrease by fifty percent. If their life is below fifty percent, being hit by Poisonous Milk means death."
"With my current strength, Poisonous Milk can reduce a Titled Douluo's life by five percent, meaning if a Titled Douluo is severely injured, being hit will lead to death."
Hearing this, even Sword Douluo was astonished, what a terrifying Soul Skill.
Ye Yu continued: "Moreover, this Soul Skill is released just like a Healing Soul Skill. When others think I am healing them, I'm actually poisoning them. This leaves them completely unprepared, never expecting that a Support Type could not only heal but also kill."
Ye Yu released his Fourth Soul Skill, a black Begonia petal floated up. The only difference from the First Soul Skill was that the Begonia petal emitted a green glow, making it look even more like a Healing Soul Skill.
Flande sighed lightly: "It really makes people defenseless, even if a Titled Douluo is gravely injured with low health, a Soul Saint wouldn't be able to kill them. This Soul Skill is truly terrifying."
Ye Yu said: "Like the previous three Soul Rings, it still has a Support Soul Skill, poison immunity. With my current strength, using the skill to grant poison immunity decreases any poison by fifty percent! Meaning, if you are poison-affected, once I grant you this skill, the toxicity of the poison reduces by fifty percent. And it has no level restriction."
Flande and Sword Douluo's eyes once again gleamed with amazement, it remained incredibly strong! Any poison being reduced by fifty percent, with no level restriction, means even the sixty thousand years' poison of the Seven-Jewel Emerald would be reduced by ten percent in potency! This Soul Skill is simply the nemesis of any poisonous Soul Beast and Soul Master!
Flande was stunned: "Then if you become a Titled Douluo, will it be one hundred percent poison immunity?"
Ye Yu nodded: "Yes, by then, no matter if it's a Titled Douluo's poison or a hundred thousand, or tens of thousands of years, it will have no effect on those granted this Soul Skill."
"Hiss!!"
Flande and Sword Douluo both felt how terrifying it was!
Sword Douluo couldn't help but think of the Poison Douluo—if Poison Douluo knew of such an existence, he would be utterly frustrated.
Returning to Shrek Academy, Ye Yu told Tang San and others about his Soul Skills, and they were also amazed by how overwhelmingly powerful the Soul Skills were.
Ye Yu thanked Sword Douluo: "I will remember this kindness in my heart."
Sword Douluo nodded; having Ye Yu say this was enough. Although Ye Yu was currently a Soul Sect, he would surely become a powerful figure in the future, an investment.
After Sword Douluo left, Flande couldn't contain his curiosity and asked: "Xiao Yu, what is your Soul Power level now? Did you jump levels?"
Ye Yu nodded: "Yes, I jumped five levels. I am now at level forty-five."
Hearing this, everyone was astonished.
Tang San was astonished as well; he had absorbed the Human-faced Demon Spider Soul Ring, gained an External Soul Bone, and only jumped two levels. He was at level thirty, and the further he progressed, jumping levels wasn't possible. But Ye Yu directly jumped from forty to forty-five, it was terrifying.
Ye Yu said: "After fifty levels, jumping levels like this would be impossible. I stayed at level forty for a long time, plus this Soul Ring is of sixty thousand years, and also..."
Ye Yu paused, with Sword Douluo gone, he no longer concealed his excitement and thrill.
"This time, I also gained an External Soul Bone!"
