Kong Shou Ling's opponent was a Youming Beast. It was a wild beast with dark purple skin and intricate patterns, standing about a meter tall. Its appearance resembled that of a wolf, yet it floated in mid-air, surrounded by dark purple mist that seemed to entwine like tree roots.
The moment the Youming Beast appeared, even the light in the training ground dimmed slightly. As a Spirit Body, the Youming Beast was invisible to the children of Shi Village, which is why they were not allowed to stay and watch. The remaining members of the Shi Village Hunting Team, seeing the training ground's protective barrier open again, merely scratched their heads in confusion, unaware of what Kei Yunqing intended to do. They observed as Kei Yunqing and his three companions gazed at the training area, where faint light flickered.
The members of the Hunting Team dared not linger and soon left the scene. Kong Tianqi and Kong Qing Hu watched curiously as the Youming Beast faced off against Kong Shou Ling.
"Father, what kind of wild beast is this?" Kong Tianqi asked.
"It's a Youming Beast, a type of Spirit Beast that attacks with soul-based strikes—very difficult to defend against," came the reply.
"What if I get attacked? Can my Immortal Bone recover?" Kong Tianqi inquired, concerned that if it was merely a physical exercise and his soul was weak, it could be troublesome.
Kei Yunqing stroked his chin thoughtfully. "That’s a good question. Yes, your Immortal Bone can heal any injury, including those to the soul. Once you acquire other forms of energy, you'll find that the Immortal Bone is far more powerful than you think."
Kong Tianqi nodded; even now, he could feel his magical energy rapidly restoring itself, indicating that the Immortal Bone was more than just a healing tool.
Kong Qing Hu then asked curiously, "Can my vital energy attack a Spirit Body?"
"Yes," Kei Yunqing replied. "Vital energy is extremely potent and can effectively counter any Spirit Body. However, when it comes to your guardian spirit, you might not be able to attack it directly."
"Why would I want to attack my guardian spirit?" Kong Qing Hu asked with curiosity.
Kei Yunqing stroked his chin, realizing the absurdity of attacking oneself. It was impossible. No matter, it was just a metaphor; let’s focus on the battle as it was about to begin.
In the arena, the Youming Beast was filled with vigilance at finding itself in such a strange environment. It carefully observed its surroundings, and due to its Spirit Body, its perception of souls was stronger than that of other Wild Beasts.
It immediately sensed a powerful soul nearby—Zhong Li—and another formidable presence right in front of it: Kong Shou Ling. Kei Yunqing had concealed his aura well, leaving only a hint of an extraordinary presence lingering around him.
The Youming Beast silently examined the protective barrier, comparing the energy levels and concluding that it would not be able to break through. The opponent, Kong Shou Ling, seemed intent on engaging it in battle.
With a stronger Spiritual Power and soul force than most Wild Beasts, the Youming Beast naturally possessed higher intelligence. Reflecting on its predicament, it could only hope to defeat its opponent and that the powerful beings watching would spare it afterward. However, judging by the strength of its opponent's soul, victory seemed unlikely.
How had it ended up here after merely patrolling its own territory? The Youming Beast dismissed such thoughts and immediately launched an attack on Kong Shou Ling. A massive plume of purple-black smoke erupted from its mouth, sweeping across the entire arena.
Yin Spirit.
