The Soul Hunting Forest was much quieter at night than during the day, but that did not mean it was safe. On the contrary, moving around casually could lead to more danger.

So Zhou Tian and his group chose a spot and stopped, starting a campfire.

Zhou Tian sat by the fire, glancing at the three teachers who were responsible for assigning night watch duties and procedures.

He also glanced at the three young noblemen who sat there, not used to the wilderness.

Closing his eyes slowly, he looked at the two glowing orbs of soul energy and silently recited, "Solidify!"

A peculiar change immediately occurred, and the two orbs emitted a faint glow. They no longer felt like crystal balls but had expanded to one-third of their size, establishing a connection with Zhou Tian.

Zhou Tian was filled with surprise. The information that appeared in his mind was unexpected.

"Solidify into a real illusion. Death only causes a certain amount of mental damage, which can be recovered with some time." A smile appeared on Zhou Tian's lips.

"Now I can accumulate combat experience in life-and-death battles, catching up with or even surpassing those geniuses in combat experience at the fastest pace," he thought of Tang San, recalling the intense confrontation a year ago.

It was a different feeling than the usual conflicts; it was an exceptionally fierce momentum that couldn't be obtained through casual brawls.

With a thought, Zhou Tian's vision brightened, and he appeared in a familiar place.

"This is the place where I hunted the Shadow Wind Wolves during the day. Such a realistic feeling!" While Zhou Tian was still marveling, his scalp tingled, and he instinctively took two steps back after a critical hit.

A dark green figure emerged from the front. Zhou Tian's keen eyes clearly saw the soul beast that was almost identical to the one during the day.

With a slight movement of his right leg, the final phantom tore through the air.

"Snap!"

A crisp sound echoed in the silent jungle as the soul beast was kicked directly, flying towards the front.

The Shadow Wind Wolf crashed to the ground, rolled twice, and quickly stood up. However, a black shadow immediately closed in.

It wanted to escape, but the broken rib from the previous kick made its body shudder.

"Crack!" "Bang!"

Clear sounds mixed with loud noises, and Zhou Tian's kick flattened 2/3 of the Shadow Wind Wolf's neck, slamming it into the ground.

Blood spilled around.

"My jumping ability and explosive power have improved a lot. Is this the effect of elastic muscles?" Zhou Tian exclaimed.

The tips of his toes lightly bounced on the ground, reaching a height of over one meter in an instant.

Elastic muscles, obtained from another snake-shaped soul beast, significantly enhanced his abilities.

He could clearly feel the change—muscles that were originally hard and robust, with a hint of stiffness, had completely softened.

Full of flexibility, bringing powerful explosive force.

With just his soul power and body, Zhou Tian was able to easily defeat a hundred-year soul beast with two moves.

A faint glow emanated from the Shadow Wind Wolf's body, even the splattered blood turning into dots of light.
