The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2160: Soul Formation

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

”Let’s do as you say,” Ye Chen stated after a moment of silence.

He understood that no matter what, if he wanted to enter the Southern Region without revealing anything, he had to accept the wager.

The group exchanged glances and smiled.

Soon, they would show Ye Chen what true despair felt like.

They did not comprehend why the Dark Ray Beast that Ye Chen had selected was so peculiar, but what did it matter?

Previously, the main reason for their defeat was that they had underestimated their opponent. They had been negligent. Such a mistake would not happen again!

Regardless of the type of spiritual beast involved, as long as they were present, it would be impossible for Ye Chen ’s spiritual beast to successfully reach the finish line!

Although this Dark Ray Beast was unusual, they were confident that they could employ their methods to completely extinguish Ye Chen’s hope of victory.

In other words, this time, Ye Chen would surely lose.

”Little Brother Ye, may we commence now?” Bai Shan inquired, glancing at Ye Chen.

”Let us begin.” Ye Chen nodded.

Bai Shan executed a hand seal. Under the influence of the hand seal, the spiritual beasts surged forward.

However, this time, the other spiritual beasts were clearly in a much worse condition. They even intentionally suppressed their speed, not daring to outrun the Dark Ray Beast.

Bai Shan and his companions exchanged knowing looks. Suddenly, a peculiar fluctuation emanated from their bodies.

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and glanced at them from the corner of his eye. The fluctuation was faint. If not for his Mental Demon Body, he would not have noticed it.

Soon, the fluctuations from their bodies began to converge in one spot.

Sensing the energy, Ye Chen’s eyes widened in surprise.

This was a soul power attack!

Ye Chen’s instincts were correct. Bai Shan and his companions’ true trump card was this soul power attack.

Originally, their aptitude would have prevented them from becoming soul cultivators. However, the Southern Region possessed a secret technique that allowed suitable martial artists to cultivate in tandem. If they worked together, they could harness the power of their souls to form a formation.

Through this formation, not only could they combine their soul power, but they could also execute a soul power attack akin to a soul technique!

However, Ye Chen’s expression soon steadied.

This was because he realized that although Bai Shan and the others could merge their soul power and launch this soul attack, their auras were exceptionally weak.

The attack was still too rudimentary, and far from comparable to a genuine soul technique

In fact, even the soul sword he had learned from Mu Ye’s secret manual surpassed it.

Nonetheless, this soul formation they had created together was indeed intriguing. If given the opportunity, Ye Chen would like to study it as well.

After Bai Shan and his companions completed the soul formation, they looked confident and sneered while observing Ye Chen. From their perspective, once the soul formation was completed, Ye Chen would undoubtedly lose.

One must understand that the divine soul attacks executed by the group with the soul formation could potentially threaten Sealed Gate realm experts.

Bai Shan’s gaze swept over the others. Having worked together for an extended period, they understood each other well. Immediately, they controlled the soul formation and targeted the Dark Ray Beast.

Moments later, powerful soul power surged from the soul formation and assaulted the Dark Ray Beast.

Although the Dark Ray Beast was an ancient mutant, it had yet to fully mature and was not adept at fighting.

The group stared at Ye Chen coldly. They knew that the Dark Ray Beast would soon falter on the track. They were eager to see Ye Chen’s expression at that moment.

They were truly looking forward to it.

At that moment, Ye Chen’s eyes flashed. His divine soul erupted forth and formed a Soul Sword. He struck at the invisible energy emitted by the soul formation!

Bai Shan and the others, who had been wearing mocking expressions, suddenly froze in shock.

This was because the Dark Ray Beast was still racing down the track, seemingly unaffected by the soul power attack at all.

What was happening?

Bai Shan and the others wore expressions of disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.

They had never encountered an ancient mutant that could disregard soul attacks.

Anxious, they attempted a second soul attack!

Ye Chen looked at them, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes. Even if the opposition had united their efforts, the disparity between their divine souls and the potency of their spiritual senses was far too great.

Ye Chen’s Soul Sword swung again, effortlessly obliterating their attacks.

This time, Bai Shan and his companions’ expressions darkened entirely. They relentlessly unleashed their soul power with maximum effort, yet the Dark Ray Beast remained unharmed.

”What have you done?!” Bai Shan yelled in fury, turning to face Ye Chen.

Now, even the dullest among them could see that the issue lay with Ye Chen and not the Dark Ray Beast.

At that moment, the Dark Ray Beast finally crossed the finish line.

Ye Chen looked at Bai Shan and the others with amusement. Their expressions were icy as they surrounded him. They did not appear to be honoring the bet.

”What are you doing?” Ye Chen inquired calmly as he sipped his wine. ”Were you not all very confident in the soul attack that you were using together? Why are you asking me what I did?”

”What?” Bai Shan and the others exclaimed in unison, staring at Ye Chen in disbelief.

This young man had actually discerned their actions?

It was known that even ordinary Sealed Gate realm experts, even if they could defend against their soul formation attacks, found it exceedingly difficult to detect them.

Although their soul formation attacks were significantly cruder than genuine soul techniques, their primary advantage lay in their concealed nature.

What was even more alarming was that not only had Ye Chen uncovered it, but he seemed to have also neutralized their soul attack.

Ye Chen observed their expressions and continued to mock with a sneer. ”Is this merely a game for you people from the Southern Region? If news of this spreads to the other regions, will you still be able to continue playing this game?”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the group shifted drastically. If what Ye Chen said was accurate and this matter became public, they could very well be finished.

Bai Shan’s countenance turned ferocious. He spoke coldly to Ye Chen, ”What did you say, kid? Leave these Saint Stones behind and get lost. I might even allow you to enter the country. Otherwise, the penalty will not be as simple as expelling you from the Southern Region.”

The temperature outside the Beast Competition Arena plummeted to below freezing. Killing intent flickered fiercely in Bai Shan’s eyes. His previous facade could no longer be maintained. He let out a violent shout and commanded, ”Attack!”

Immediately, their soul formation was activated once more, targeting Ye Chen.

Even though Ye Chen had seen through their tricks and appeared to possess some ability to counter their attacks, Bai Shan still refused to accept that a mere Creation realm expert could restrain the soul formation in which they had placed their utmost trust.
