Chapter 4: Elemental Control · Grandmaster Rank (Basic Ability Scroll)
Price: 98 Soul Coins.
...
The reward options this time were few, but each was beyond reproach, with the Overlord Essence being the lowest among them.
After examining the detailed information of the four items, Su Xiao unhesitatingly exchanged for the "Soul Thread" skill scroll.
As for the remaining Soul Coins, since he had killed a deity this time, Soul Coins were universal from Rank 1 to Rank 6, and all rewards exchanged with Soul Coins could utilize the remaining 35 Soul Coins.
[Soul Thread]
Type: Skill Scroll · Moon God Exclusive Skill
Prerequisite: 150 True Intelligence, 130 True Stamina, Soul Strength above 70 points.
Skill Effect: Manifest Soul Threads that can bind an enemy's soul for 10 to 600 seconds, ignoring physical, energy-based, or other forms of escape. If the enemy's Soul Strength is insufficient, they will be unable to break free from the Soul Thread's restraint.
Tip: If Soul Thread is attached to a physical object, soul damage is reduced by 50%, but toughness is increased by 75%.
...
This ability is nearly unbeatable unless encountering an enemy with high Soul Strength. If Su Xiao attaches the Soul Thread to the Realm Severing Thread, even if the enemy's Soul Strength is relatively high, they still won't be able to break free.
The only drawback of this ability is its high prerequisites, requiring a full 150 points of True Intelligence, 130 True Stamina, and 70 points of Soul Strength.
"Baha."
As soon as Su Xiao called out, a sharp pain shot through his chest.
"I'm... not dead yet, but close..."
In the dirt pit, Baha trembled as he raised his wing, then weakly let it fall. His performance this time was nothing short of valiant; if he hadn't lunged forward at the critical moment, Su Xiao would have had over a 90% chance of dying inside the Moon God's skull.

[Detected that the Hunter's condition is extremely weak. Talent Awakening is postponed. The Hunter may freely choose the awakening time for the Soul Devourer talent.]
[The Hunter will return to Reincarnation Paradise in 15 minutes, or return immediately.]
...
"Return immediately, cough, cough, cough..."
Su Xiao let out a series of dry coughs, even coughing up fragments of organs.
[The Hunter is about to return to Reincarnation Paradise.]
[Teleporting...]
[Teleportation complete.]
[The Hunter has returned to the storage space. Beginning settlement of Primordial World rewards.]

Su Xiao sat on the carpet in his Exclusive Room. Returning to this familiar place seemed to ease some of the pain in his body.
The first thing Su Xiao did was spend Paradise Coins to heal himself, as well as Baha and Bubu Wang's injuries.
One man, one dog, and one bird floated half a meter into the air. Seeing their miserable state, Beini quickly transferred several thousand Paradise Coins to Su Xiao, fearing the recovery cost might be insufficient.
In truth, compared to Su Xiao, Bubu Wang, and Baha, there was someone even worse off.
At that moment, Amu was lying face down on the Exclusive Room's carpet, eyes closed, sleeping while maintaining a full-speed swimming posture. He had been swimming continuously since entering the Moon God World, and could even swim at full speed in his sleep—so practiced it was heartbreaking.
Seeing Amu's state, a smile couldn't help but appear on Bubu Wang's dog face.
"Meow."
Beini tapped Amu with her cat paw. Amu opened his eyes, stared blankly for a few seconds, then sat up.
"Moo~"
Amu let out a slightly trembling sound. From now on, he never wanted to swim again.
Su Xiao exhaled a breath of foul air. During the previous battle, he had nearly died several times, but fortunately, the returns were generous enough. Moreover, his talent ability, Soul Devourer, was finally ready for its second awakening.
