Doomsday Summoning Frenzy

Once when designing weapons, Yu had already confided in Wen Yu that her skill system was the soul system.

Just like Wen Yu, as a soul master who played with the soul system skills, the core ability must be the soul strike. Now, Wen Yu felt the fluctuations of soul energy coming from the red giant snake; it seemed this red giant snake must indeed be one of Yu's main battle spirit pets.

Dim soul energy slowly seeped out from the body of the red giant snake, covering Ou. As the soul energy permeated, Ou's physical body was gradually compressed—like fruit being put into a juicer.

As time passed, Ou's body continued to shrink.

On the surface, this resembled a form of alternative torture. However, Wen Yu could perceive that as Ou's body kept withering, all the powers within were also collapsing and condensing. It was as if everything was creating a wondrous chemical reaction under the catalysis of soul power.

Wen Yu felt apprehensive until he saw Ou's body shrink to the size of a fist, at which point he finally swallowed hard.

Then, the soul energy from the red giant snake suddenly expanded and enveloped Ou's soul beast.

Seeing this, Wen Yu more or less understood the operating process of this "surgery."

Yu was forcibly merging the soul master with the soul beast using her own strength and the clever use of her soul system skills, intertwining the two so that each was within the other, justifying the master-servant relationship.

Only when Ou and the little soul beast completely fused into a fist-sized, wriggling mass did the red giant snake finish its task. It slowly slithered off the mass, first circling around Wen Yu’s feet twice, frightening him into a cold sweat, before crawling back into Yu's sleeve.

“It worked.”

Yan next to her let out a small gasp, actively stepping forward to pick up the compressed mass, then turning back to place it in Yu's hands.

The two women whispered something, presumably discussing how to handle the mass afterward, and then Yu issued a dismissal.

Yan took Wen Yu out of the cell. Along the way, the little girl chattered about things like “you must work hard in the future, it’ll definitely benefit you” and “if you dare to betray Lord Yu, be careful of losing your life,” while Wen Yu listened and imagined the scene that had just unfolded.

By the time Wen Yu returned to his dormitory and sat on the bed, a smile finally crept up at the corners of his mouth.

“This half-baked method is somewhat interesting.”

...

In Wen Yu's view, Yu's handling of soul energy was incredibly crude!

Though it somewhat deviated from the constraints of skills and tapped into the essence of energy's power, it was still just the beginning. At this stage, the eighth-level Yu compared to the ninth-level Wen Yu was like the ocean compared to a drop of water.

And the process just witnessed was quite understandable—Yu simply used brute force to squeeze out a combination of soul master and soul beast energy.

Similar to a soul master in battle mode, combining the soul master's life source with their spirit pet—but this was merely coercive and could not be undone.

However, some subtle details made Wen Yu understand what the upgrade of a soul beast was truly about.

It was simply a case of cannibalism among the same kind.

The earlier squeezing was merely the first step—like washing vegetables and rinsing rice while cooking. Although Wen Yu had only seen one step, from a higher perspective, it wouldn’t take long for him to grasp the entire process involved.

With that thought, Wen Yu dove into the bed, squinting his eyes while mentally simulating the subsequent steps.

“First should be extraction, extracting the adhesive between the soul master and the soul beast… that kind of linking energy that allows the soul master to enter battle mode.”

“First is extraction…”

In a room within the inner courtyard, Yu and Yan were shoulder to shoulder, holding the freshly squeezed mass. Various experimental devices surrounded them, and at that moment, Yan was cautiously handling the "ingredients" while mumbling the procedure.
