Chapter 1211 - 167: Soul Balance Scale

The evaluation of the strength of both the enemy and ourselves flashed through Wen Yu’s mind in an instant. At this moment, Wen Yu couldn’t even bother with the battle between Faceless and the Immortal Emperor. He was merely continuously shooting out strands of Chaos Energy, which struck against Ross’s defense barrier, only to be completely deflected, all to no avail.

Wen Yu naturally knew that such minor probing was utterly useless. He was merely waiting, waiting for the Dream Come True Skill System to enhance his own power to a certain limit, followed by the soul skills clash with soul skills!

As long as the Soul Battlefield was activated, all of Wen Yu’s skills could apply to the Soul Body. This might render Ross’s defense skills ineffective and pull them both back to the same starting line.

No, when that moment truly arrives, Wen Yu will inevitably have the upper hand. This is solely because the Dream Come True Skill System can further enhance Wen Yu’s base abilities by dozens or even hundreds of times!

Time is on Wen Yu’s side.

Unexpectedly, however, Ross simply watched Wen Yu’s incessant "self-harm" and continuous strengthening without any reaction. He stood there, looking at Wen Yu with an increasingly peculiar smile on his face.

That sort of look, as if watching prey...

...

As Wen Yu and Ross briefly encountered and confronted each other, two other battles had already broken out.

The Clown versus the Immortal Emperor — the Clown’s play was quite sickening. He merely surrounded the Immortal Emperor with hundreds of carbon copies, doing nothing but staring at him, waiting for the Immortal Emperor to come to him. The Immortal Emperor had no intention of falling into the Clown’s trap. He simply closed his eyes, no one knew what he was doing.

Well, from the looks of it, the Immortal Emperor indeed fulfilled his promise — he stalled the Clown...

As for Faceless and the enemy’s battle, it was straightforward!

Both were old adversaries, and upon meeting, their eyes turned red. The encounter immediately burst into an intense bombardment — Faceless’s Chaotic Power, paired with Divine Light, was flung out as if unhindered, while constantly using the Dream Come True Skill System to strengthen himself.

Just then, Faceless had used the Dream Come True Skill System to elevate his physical fitness significantly. Yet upon contact, Faceless fell into a disadvantage!

The black cloth monster’s Power of Space fully activated, countless space rifts like sharp blades slashing at Faceless, while the human mannequin swiftly wove threads, crafting armor and a long sword for himself in no time.

This armor and long sword shimmered with dense Origin Energy, coupled with the black cloth monster’s spatial abilities, at this moment, the human mannequin transformed completely into an elusive teleportation warrior, drawing long scars on Faceless with every contact.

These two Level 11 powerful experts, now serious, in terms of strength, didn’t lag behind Faceless even after the Dream Come True enhancement.

The fierce fluctuations distantly transmitted, ruffling Wen Yu’s robes, as Wen Yu’s physical body continuously crumbled, only to rapidly regenerate under the Photosynthetic Spirit Motifs’ effect.

Over the years, the number of Photosynthetic Spirit Motifs Wen Yu had accumulated was simply beyond quantification. As long as Wen Yu wasn’t immediately killed, even stalling would suffice to outlast most opponents.

As Wen Yu’s aura grew increasingly intense, Ross merely stood still, watching Wen Yu. From that gaze, Wen Yu’s heart suddenly leaped.

Ross isn’t afraid of Wen Yu’s strength growing...

The reason was unclear, but from Ross’s demeanor, it seemed he was anticipating something...

When Wen Yu finally pushed his strength to about 30 times its original through the Dream Come True Skill System, he halted and stared straight at Ross.

"What? Not continuing? I find that skill of yours quite interesting."

It was as if banter between friends; Ross seemed unconcerned about their current adversarial relationship. In contrast, Wen Yu merely shook his head, looking at Ross as the Soul Battlefield abruptly activated!

Enveloping Ross within the Soul Battlefield, and then resolving the issue within the Soul Battlefield!

...

The boundary of the Soul Battlefield suddenly expanded, sealing off the surrounding space. Naturally, Ross was also thrust into the Soul Battlefield.

As body and soul separated, once Wen Yu’s soul left his body, he looked at Ross and found that he couldn’t withstand the power of the Soul Battlefield either, letting out a sigh of relief. However, even in this first internal soul battle, there were some unexpected elements for Wen Yu.

For instance... skills.

All the skills within Ross were gathered into his Soul Body, totaling eleven skills that turned into intricate and complex patterns, covering Ross’s Soul Body as if wrapping him in a magnificent set of battle armor!

Skills internalized — Wen Yu had no idea how Ross achieved this, but it seemed that for a Level 11 spirit-based expert, this wasn’t difficult.

The home-field advantage of the Soul Battlefield was half dispelled by Ross like this!

"Hmm, Soul Battlefield, right? Quite a nice skill indeed, and you’ve even mastered the variations of skill application. It’s hard to imagine a little guy at Level 7 achieving this level."

Thus spoke Ross, then he focused his eyes on Wen Yu — facing Wen Yu’s 30-fold difference in soul strength, Ross remained calm and collected. Wen Yu, meanwhile, didn’t have the mood for idle talk, transforming into a beam of white light and shooting straight towards Ross.

...

This white light carried intense heat, akin to a sun. Given their current fundamental soul strength disparity, if Wen Yu hit even once, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it could consume most of Ross’s Origin Energy. Yet, Ross merely watched as Wen Yu approached, until nearly reaching Ross, when Ross’s eyes finally gleamed!

"Soul Balance Scale!"

Four simple words, as if infused with supreme power, after Ross spoke them, everything within the Soul Battlefield fell silent.

At this moment, Wen Yu had already surged to Ross’s front. However, when the four words "Soul Balance Scale" were uttered, Wen Yu inexplicably halted mid-air, unable to move! His eyes remained fixed on Ross before him, his killing intent evident, while Ross mirrored Wen Yu’s stare.

Until a massive scale appeared beneath their feet, whose ends respectively cradled Wen Yu and Ross, then light emerged...

The light rapidly turned into a cocoon, completely enveloping both Wen Yu and Ross. Soon after, the light surged, and specks of light shifted directly from Wen Yu’s side toward Ross. As the glow intensified, Wen Yu felt his soul power rapidly draining. In contrast, Ross’s soul strength significantly increased!

Until both achieved perfect balance, the great scale beneath them dissipated. The sudden power loss caused Wen Yu to stagger almost falling, while Ross, seemingly accustomed to this fortification, merely floated mid-air, brimming with abundant Soul Energy.

The augmentation provided by the Dream Come True Skill System was swiftly diminished by this so-called Soul Balance Scale. The dozens-fold augmentation didn’t simply vanish instead, it was forcibly bestowed upon Ross!

With merely one skill, the basic soul strength Wen Yu painstakingly built over time was thoroughly undermined!

In that instant, viewing Ross whose soul strength now perfectly mirrored his own, Wen Yu couldn’t help but be dumbfounded...
