Chapter 155 – Throb, Wild Song, and the Soul Shatter Mirror

Volume 2: Battlefield Between Two Worlds

"So, what now? Do you want me to kill him?"

After listening to the Ruler, Wen Yu remained silent for a moment before asking.

The Ruler spread his hands toward Wen Yu.

"Why would you do that? Aren't you still missing a Soul Pet?"

Wen Yu was about to speak, but he swallowed his words.

To the Ruler, the Contract Cooldown was truly not an issue.

"Don't the rules of this battlefield state that only one creature can survive?"

Hearing Wen Yu's question, the Ruler nodded.

"If you form a contract with him, he naturally becomes a part of you! You should know that I am very generous and easy to talk to when it comes to winners!"

"Go on, wake him up and talk to him. I'll help you clear the Contract Cooldown!"

"I'm also very curious to see what kind of changes will occur when the Agent of Earth's Will joins forces with my Sequence 2!"

"When two iron rods are forged together, they become bigger and longer!"

Wen Yu pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Then, clear away the corpses around here first. I don't want him to see this bloody mess. Oh, and don't touch that one."

Wen Yu pointed at Sun Ruixing's corpse.

The Ruler nodded at Wen Yu.

"As you wish!"

With a wave of the Ruler's hand, the Barrier that had originally enveloped the Battlefield Between Two World instantly vanished. Everything returned to its original state, except for Sun Ruixing's corpse and the Little Dragon in front of Wen Yu.

Then, a white light from the Ruler's hand swept over Wen Yu.

"I'll help you clear the Contract Cooldown first, and then I'll give you your rewards. The rest will be up to you."

…

"The Soul Master is one of the Classes I created personally, and I naturally pay a bit more attention to the Classes I create."

"Although the Soul Master Class is not a unique one, its development potential is quite massive!"

"More interestingly, it involves the level of the soul-a forbidden zone that even I haven't fully understood."

"Do you feel that your Soul Strike Skill is quite useless compared to other S-Rank Skills?"

Hearing the Ruler's words, Wen Yu nodded directly.

Leaving aside the S-Rank Skills on One-Eye, just the Soul Beast's other Skill-Phasing-was a hundred times more effective than Soul Strike!

"There are no useless abilities, only useless Class Holders. The reason you can't bring out the full effect of Soul Strike is that you're missing a few things!"

"What things?"

Wen Yu raised an eyebrow at the Ruler.

"These."

After saying that, the Ruler placed three items in front of Wen Yu.

They were two Guns and a pendant.

Before Wen Yu could step forward to inspect them, the Ruler's voice rang out again.

"Back then-tsk tsk, a long, long time ago-when I first started the war with the Demon Race, the Sequence One of that planet was a Soul Master!"

"The result was naturally failure, but in the final moment of his life, that Soul Master fused everything he had into the three items before you. Since then, these three items became exclusive equipment for Soul Masters!"

"These three pieces of equipment have been sealed away with me for who knows how many worlds. This is because previous Soul Masters treated this Class as a simple summoner Class, relying entirely on the combat power of their Soul Pets as their means of battle!"

At this point, the Ruler shook his head.

"They didn't understand that even Soul Pets are equivalent to external power. True strength always lies within oneself!"

"And then, there's this."

After finishing his sentence, the Ruler took out a black pill from the space in front of him.

"This item was refined from the Blood Essence of all the Demon Race members in this Battlefield Between Two World. It's a gift for your Second Soul Pet."

"So, that's the total of your rewards. Do you have any other questions?"

Wen Yu looked at the Ruler for a long time before pushing the four items back.

"I don't want any of these. I want him resurrected."

"Using these rewards as the price, is that possible?"

After hearing Wen Yu's words, the Ruler laughed for a long while.

"It is!"

As soon as he spoke, ten naked "Sun Ruixings" immediately appeared before Wen Yu!

"These bodies correspond to Physical Attributes ranging from 10 to 100 points. It's very simple if you want to resurrect him."

"I'll just instill his memories into a body, and the person will naturally be considered resurrected!"

Hearing the Ruler's words, Wen Yu clenched his fists tightly.

"That's not resurrection, that's just cloning!"

"In my eyes, this is called resurrection!"

The Ruler's indifferent voice rang out, causing Wen Yu to curse loudly!

"Fuck you!"

"As you wish! In that case, you don't need my resurrection service! Goodbye!"

After the Ruler finished speaking, his figure flickered and instantly disappeared!

Wen Yu looked at the spot where the Ruler had vanished with a complex expression, then glanced at Sun Ruixing's corpse not far away. After a long while, he shook his head.

Carefully observing the so-called rewards in front of him, Wen Yu first picked up the small pill.

"Blood Essence (A-Rank Item): Refined by the Ruler using the Blood Essence of Demonic Creatures. However, due to obviously careless craftsmanship, a large amount of internal power has leaked out. After a Mutant Beast consumes it, its Physical Attribute will skyrocket, rising directly to the peak of its current level. Please note: this item expires in three days; the attributes will not take effect after expiration!"

With nothing left to say, Wen Yu summoned One-Eye and fed the Blood Essence directly to him.

Seeing One-Eye fall into a deep slumber immediately after consuming the Blood Essence, Wen Yu put him away and turned his attention to the three pieces of Soul Master Exclusive Equipment before him.

First, he picked up a small gun.

It wasn't large, styled similarly to an old-fashioned revolver, but the intricate patterns on it made Wen Yu feel a sense of trance as he stared at it.

"Soul Throb (Soul Master Exclusive Weapon):"

"Attribute One: Exclusive: Only a Soul Master can use this weapon."

"Attribute Two: Growth: The weapon is perfectly attuned to the Host. Its attack power increases with the Host's level, with each shot's power equal to the Host's current Physical Attribute."

"Attribute Three: Soul Armament: No matter how far the weapon is from the Host, Throb will appear before its master whenever needed!"

"Attribute Four: Infinite Firepower: Throb has no limit on ammunition; it only consumes a small amount of the Host's stamina!"

"Attribute Five: Attachment: Throb's attacks can be imbued with all of the Host's abilities!"

"Attribute Six: Soul Throb: The first cry of a soul is a throb; the movement of a soul is a throb; the extinction of a soul is also a throb! When Throb is used to hit an enemy, the power of Soul Strike will be amplified to the greatest extent!"

"This weapon will eliminate enemies from a spiritual level!"

A six-attribute firearm and a Soul Master Exclusive Weapon. As he gripped Throb in his right hand, Wen Yu could clearly feel the weapon's cheers and joy.

It was a connection originating from the soul, a sense of satisfaction and delight coming from the depths of his heart!

At the same time, the other gun in front of Wen Yu-a short gun nearly half a meter long-also emitted a buzzing sound.

Wen Yu picked up the short gun with his left hand. Waves of mental fluctuations pulsed into his mind. Simultaneously, the short gun in his left hand and Throb in his right seemed to be linked by an unknown force, suddenly emitting a faint glow before slowly vanishing from his hands!

With a thought from Wen Yu, both guns instantly reappeared before him.

Only then did Wen Yu examine the short gun in his left hand!

It looked ancient and weathered, bearing patterns similar to Throb.

"Blood and Flesh Wild Song (Soul Master Exclusive Weapon):"

"Attribute One: Exclusive: Only a Soul Master can use this weapon."

"Attribute Two: Growth: The weapon is perfectly attuned to the Host. Its attack power increases with the Host's level, with each shot's power equal to twice the Host's current Physical Attribute."

"Attribute Three: Soul Armament: No matter how far the weapon is from the Host, Wild Song will appear before its master whenever needed!"

"Attribute Four: Infinite Firepower: Wild Song has no limit on ammunition; it only consumes a small amount of the Host's stamina!"

"Attribute Five: Attachment: Wild Song's attacks can be imbued with all of the Host's abilities!"

"Attribute Six: Blood and Flesh Wild Song: This weapon represents the wildness and tyranny hidden in the deepest parts of a biological being's heart. When Wild Song is used to hit an enemy, it will inflict three negative effects: Annihilation, Explosion, and Tear!"

"Who dares to say that physical destruction is not terrifying?"

"The combination of Throb and Wild Song can activate the ultimate ability."

"Massacre of Life (Combination Ability, No Level): A combined ability of Throb and Wild Song. It fires the most destructive energy wave from the muzzles of both guns, dealing a dual blow to the enemy's physical body and soul! If an enemy hit by this dies, they will release Soul Fragments that can be absorbed by the Soul Shatter Mirror. Each activation requires the consumption of all the Host's remaining stamina!"

These were two very powerful guns.

"Then, the 'Soul Shatter Mirror' mentioned must be you!"

Wen Yu picked up the final remaining reward-a seemingly ordinary pendant!

At that moment, a System Notification Tone flashed through Wen Yu's mind.

"Soul Shatter Mirror (Soul Master Exclusive Item): Absorbs Soul Fragments of creatures destroyed by Massacre of Life. The Host can use Soul Strike to extract Skills from the Soul Fragments. Extracted Skills can only be learned by Soul Beasts. Each Soul Beast can obtain up to three Skills from the Soul Shatter Mirror. Remaining uses: (3/3)."

"When the Soul Shatter Mirror's uses are exhausted, the absorbed Soul Fragments will condense into High-Quality Magic Crystals. High-Quality Magic Crystals can be used for the Nourishment of the Soul Realm."

Upon seeing the description of the Soul Shatter Mirror, Wen Yu finally understood.

Previously, there were parts of the Soul Master Class description he didn't quite grasp. For instance, it mentioned that if a Soul Beast died in battle and the Soul Realm collapsed, it would need High-Quality Magic Crystals for Nourishment. But what exactly were High-Quality Magic Crystals?

Earlier, Wen Yu had thought the Magic Crystals of Ancient Demons might be High-Quality Magic Crystals. Now it seemed they might or might not be-he couldn't be sure-but the appearance of the Soul Shatter Mirror gave him a guaranteed source for them!

However, that would only happen after the Soul Shatter Mirror had extracted three Skills.

After organizing the treasures left behind by the Ruler, Wen Yu turned to look at the empty Chaihe Town. He glanced at the still-sleeping Little Dragon nearby, then slowly walked over to Sun Ruixing's corpse.

Looking at Sun Ruixing's somewhat peaceful face, Wen Yu slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"Let me build a grave for you."
