Everyone was startled but happy for Ye Yu, curious: "What kind of ability?"
"This is a right arm External Soul Bone, and it has only one ability, which is that as long as my right fist strikes, the opponent's reaction speed will be reduced according to their own power. This ability is called Nerve Paralysis."
Everyone was shocked, reducing reaction speed is indeed a powerful ability. It's known that in combat, reaction speed is extremely important. Once it slows, there's bound to be an attack, no matter how fast you are or how strong, if your reaction can't keep up, how can you dodge or attack?
Not to mention, in life-and-death battles, even a 0.1-second lapse can be fatal.
Dai Mubai said: "Let me try this ability then."
Ye Yu nodded, also wanting to see the effect.
Ye Yu's right hand covered with a white Soul Bone, lightly touched Dai Mubai's chest, immediately activating the skill.
Suddenly, Dai Mubai's reaction slowed extremely, as if his brain operated three times slower.
It's known that human movement requires central nervous system response first before transmitting orders to oneself. Ye Yu's punch was neither fast nor slow, Dai Mubai could fully dodge it, but because his reaction slowed, he took no action, delayed greatly.
Reduced reaction equates to one's sluggishness. After ten minutes, Dai Mubai returned to normal, feeling this ability was too strong.
Seeing Ye Yu getting stronger, his Soul Power reaching level forty-five, Tang San and the others felt they needed to work harder.
At this time, Xiao Wu returned, everyone curious about where she'd been. Xiao Wu made up an excuse, saying she'd gone shopping.
Afterwards, for a period, the seven of them woke up early, finishing breakfast before dawn, then started running with stones on their backs.
Ye Yu's demonic talent motivated them more, made them work harder, which Flande found favorable. As monsters, they originally didn't need to push so hard, but because of Ye Yu, even as monsters, they worked even harder than before.
During the day, everyone practiced various training, at night, they lost themselves in the Fighting Soul Arena to accumulate practical experience.
Ye Yu became a Soul Sect, and in Soul Sect level matches, he still felt no pressure. He participated in a doubles match with twenty-eight-level Ning Rongrong, who found she still didn't need to move, just provide support.
That night, Ye Yu walked towards Soto Fighting Soul Arena.
At this time, the Twin Heroes Team's Xiong Da and Xiong Er were preparing to enter but suddenly spotted Ye Yu in the distance.
Xiong Er panicked immediately: "Xiong Da, Xiong Da, Ye Yu is fighting in the arena again."
Xiong Da, seeing this, said directly: "Let's hurry away, no fighting tonight."
Seeing this, Ye Yu couldn't help but laugh, stepped forward: "No need to be so afraid, rest assured, we won't encounter each other, I'm already a Soul Sect."
Upon hearing this, Xiong Da and Xiong Er breathed a sigh of relief. Being a Soul Sect meant they couldn't meet.
Feeling a bit awkward, Xiong Da and Xiong Er entered the arena. Previously, they had indeed been scared by Ye Yu.
Ye Yu quickly finished his solo and duo fights, not participating in group battles. The seven of Tang San were in Soul Venerable level group battles, which could provide training. Following him would mean facing Soul Sect level teams, giving them no training advantage. Not wanting them to follow just for his own training needs.
After this day of Fighting Soul ended, back at the academy, Ma Hongjun was in trouble, beaten up, face bruised, panda eyes, injuries serious.
Dai Mubai was surprised: "Fatty, what happened? Who beat you up like this? Lost a fight?"
Ma Hongjun hung his head: "No."
Oscar joked: "Was it because of a woman? Then got into trouble?"
Ma Hongjun was furious: "Of course not, I intervened as a hero when seeing injustice."
Seeing Ye Yu return, Ma Hongjun cried pitifully: "Boss Yu, you have to stand up for me, look at my handsome face, twisted from the beating. Today I tried to chat up a receptionist lady from the Fighting Soul Arena but got rejected. I followed her but sensed something off, as if someone was secretly tailing her."
"Wasn't it you tailing her?" Oscar jabbed.
"Of course not, I was trying to chat her up further, and it was a deserted area, I worried for her safety. Sure enough, a creepy, ugly man dressed in black appeared, seemingly about to do harm, so I planned to be a hero and save the beauty. I thought I was lucky, encountering such a situation, but that guy was a Four-Ring Soul Sect, and that's how I ended up like this."
Ma Hongjun gritted his teeth, fists clenched: "The worst part was, amidst a crowd that gathered, he stepped right over me."
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai and the others' expressions turned cold.
Ye Yu said: "Leave it to me."
Ma Hongjun nodded happily: "Make sure to teach him a harsh lesson! That guy is called Bu Le, a notorious fiend around here, constantly causing trouble, just a damn scoundrel."
Ye Yu said: "Let's head out."
Soon, Ye Yu and the others arrived at the alley where Ma Hongjun was beaten.
Ye Yu spent a bit of Gold Soul Coins to hire a pretty girl and let her walk down the street. Quickly, Bu Le emerged.
Bu Le's Martial Soul was Ghost Hand, a dark-type Martial Soul, requiring Yin Qi to enhance cultivation. Naturally, he was a thug.
With Bu Le exposed, no planning was needed, Ye Yu directly charged forward.
Bu Le was startled because Ye Yu was too fast, hadn't reacted by the time Ye Yu was in front.
Boom!
Crack!
Puff!
Without releasing his Martial Soul or using Soul Techniques, a single punch sent Bu Le flying, ribs shattered, spray of blood, heavy impact on the ground, instantly gravely injured.
He was dumbfounded, originally feeling okay without reacting, the opponent looked merely eleven or twelve, impossibly causing heavy injury with one punch! Yet it did, even a fifty-five plus level Soul King, not deploying Martial Soul or Soul Techniques, relying solely on body power, would struggle to cause such injury with one punch.
Ye Yu gradually approached, Bu Le backed away continuously, eyes filled with terror.
Ma Hongjun found it satisfying: "Remember me, huh? Dared to beat me, humiliate me, this is your end!"
Bu Le surrendered immediately: "I was wrong, please spare me, I didn't recognize greatness."
"Spare you just like that? Not happening."
Ye Yu advanced, lifted his foot, a crisp crack, severed Bu Le's right arm, and his scream was akin to a slaughtered pig.
Then, he brutally stomped on the left arm, then consecutively the left leg, right leg.
Ye Yu's face showed no mercy, as if he were merely stepping on weeds.
Bu Le became totally crippled, but still, it wasn't enough.
Ye Yu lifted his foot again, Bu Le's eyes widened: "No!!"
"Ahh!!!"
The scream was even more heart-wrenching. Seeing where Ye Yu's foot landed, Ma Hongjun's group instinctively clamped their legs shut.
"Boss Yu is indeed ruthless, but such people deserve no pity!"
"What Boss Yu did, hurts him more than death."
"His limbs not just crippled, as a man, he's completely finished."
Having accomplished this, Ye Yu and the others left.
Two days later, Bu Le, wrapped in bandages, arrived at a male hospital.
Bu Le asked nervously: "Doctor, can I get better?"
At this moment, a 'woman' in a white dress entered, catching Bu Le's eye, but leaving him powerless.
After inspection, the doctor sighed: "Impossible to recover, because of your Martial Soul, long-term absorption of Yin Qi, now Yang Qi depleted, Yin Qi will completely occupy the body, you'll become like that teenager."
The doctor pointed at the 'young woman' in white, Bu Le froze.
"Teenager? Isn't she a girl?"
The doctor shook his head: "No, that's a man, from Nuoding City. I heard he got into fights at the academy, ending up with an injury like yours, due to his Martial Soul, progressively cashed in more Yin Qi, eventually turned into this. Couldn't stay at Nuoding City, becoming a joke, he came here. But since he grew to look like a woman, to avoid being treated differently, he embraced it, and started dressing like a girl."
Bu Le was stunned, realizing he was not just a cripple, unable to fight ordinary folks, but might ultimately become like that young woman, no, young man...
Bu Le felt like dying, this life seemed worse than death, yet he lacked the courage to commit suicide.
