Lan Xuanyu's brain began to work rapidly.
Regardless of the era, the most important thing for a Soul Master to face a soul beast was to have a sufficient understanding of the soul beast. Only then could they formulate a corresponding strategy to face and defeat the soul beast.
The information regarding the Nether Wolves appeared in Lan Xuanyu's mind.
Other than their characteristics, his father seemed to have said that Nether Wolves were naturally suspicious and didn't like to attack head-on. Instead, they would look for an opening and attack. Just like the sneak attack from before. In other words, they were actually afraid?
Thinking up to this point, Lan Xuanyu's heart stirred. He raised his left hand and a strand of silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass curled down and covered his palm. A ball of water also appeared on his palm and he held it above his head.
As expected, when the ball of water appeared, the three Nether Wolves that were slowly approaching stopped in their tracks. Its green eyes stared intently at Lan Xuanyu, then slowly moved to the side and circled around him.
Wolves were a type of soul beast that was especially patient. They were also especially good at looking for opportunities. They could even continuously exhaust their target until the target was tired and revealed an opening.
That was what his father had said at that time. But at least, after seeing the ball of water stop the Nether Wolves temporarily, Lan Xuanyu was slightly relieved.
After pondering for a moment, the ball of water in his hand began to change. It slowly condensed into an ice ball that emitted a faint chill.
The Nether Wolves' footsteps immediately slowed down and they looked at him with vigilance.
Lan Xuanyu placed the ice ball in his right hand and condensed another ice ball of the same size in his left hand.
The riverside was filled with water elements, so it was relatively easy for him to control it.
Then, he slowly took a step forward.
The three Nether Wolves took a step forward almost at the same time and maintained the same distance from him.
Lan Xuanyu looked at his surroundings. Suddenly, he quickened his footsteps and ran three steps in a direction.
The three Nether Wolves were startled. They first leaped back to create some distance between them before they caught up with him.
At this moment, Lan Xuanyu suddenly sprinted and ran in a direction.
Escape? Running away was the easiest way to reveal a flaw! The three Nether Wolves chased after him relentlessly.
Just as Lan Xuanyu had predicted, in terms of running, how could he possibly compare to the Nether Wolf that was known for its speed?
Soon, the three Nether Wolves caught up.
But right at this moment, there was a sudden change under Lan Xuanyu's feet. He first feinted to the left and right, then his body spun, and with the help of the forward momentum, he spun around and changed his direction.
Suddenly changing directions while traveling at high speed was not an easy thing to do! Moreover, the speed at which he changed was extremely fast, giving others a feeling of a blur before their eyes. Due to the nature of the three Nether Wolves, who were originally prepared to pounce, they suddenly paused for a moment before suddenly braking and changing directions to chase after Lan Xuanyu.
His speed was not as fast as them, but in terms of changing directions, Lan Xuanyu actually surpassed the three Nether Wolves.
At this moment, the golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass appeared on Lan Xuanyu's right hand. His speed suddenly increased, and not only that, he swung his right arm and threw the ice ball in his right hand.
He didn't throw it at the three Nether Wolves behind him, but diagonally in front of him.
That direction was the Hippo that he saw bathing in the river!
"Bang!" The ice ball exploded on top of the Hippo's head. The explosive force brought along an icy mist and ice shards that struck its body, especially its eyes.
To any soul beast, the eyes were fragile. Furthermore, it was so cold.
The Hippo immediately felt the pain and suddenly stood up, roaring towards the sky.
At this moment, Lan Xuanyu had already rushed to the riverside. He suddenly leaped onto the Hippo's back and used the momentum to jump across the river. Then, he threw the ice ball in his left hand out.
While the ice ball was flying, it actually split into three and flew towards the three Nether Wolves.
The three Nether Wolves were about to reach the riverside, but they were shocked by the Hippo's roar. No matter how gentle the Hippo was, it was still a powerful thousand-year soul beast. Its strength and defense wasn't something that the Nether Wolves could afford to provoke.
At this moment, the three ice balls were already in front of them. The three Nether Wolves crouched down, but they didn't feel any threat from the three ice balls.
Then, a strange scene occurred. The three ice balls were about two meters away from their heads when they suddenly made a turn in the air and flew towards the Hippo. The ice balls actually drew an arc in the air.
When the Hippo was bathing, it closed its eyes and enjoyed the bath. When the ice balls exploded, it stimulated its weak eyelids and made the gentle thousand-year Hippo furious. While it was roaring, Lan Xuanyu had already jumped over its back. With its size and defense, it didn't feel anything at all.
Of course, it could sense the three Nether Wolves approaching. While it was roaring, it turned its head and saw the three ice balls flying towards it.
It's them!
"Roar — —" The Hippo roared furiously. The three ice balls were instantly shattered into fine powder in the air. Then, its huge body stood up from the river and opened its bloody mouth as it rushed towards the three Nether Wolves.
"Ao ao ao!" The huge sound wave caused the three Nether Wolves to roll on the ground. They screamed in fear and ran away with their tails between their legs.
If they could speak, they would definitely want to shout: I'm innocent!
Although the Hippo's body was huge and its movements were slow, it was still able to be spared by most carnivorous soul beasts. Other than its thick skin, it definitely had a deterrent side.
The Hippo ate grass, but it could still eat meat when it was anxious. Its innate skill, Devour, had a terrifying devouring power. When it opened its huge mouth, it could easily devour half of the Nether Wolves in one gulp. When it was angry, the three Nether Wolves were scared witless.
Lan Xuanyu landed on the other side of the river. His breathing was a little hurried and his face was slightly red. The fear in his eyes didn't subside but when he saw the three Nether Wolves running away, he heaved a sigh of relief. His back was already drenched in sweat.
It was indeed dangerous here!
Zi Luo Branch Gymnasium.
All the teachers from the academy looked at one another and even Mu Zhongtian was extremely shocked.
Driving the Hippo to swallow the wolves? Was this something an eight-year-old child could do? Especially Lan Xuanyu's control of the ice balls, it could be said that it was perfect. The last three spinning ice balls could be said to be the decisive one. He used the Hippo's power to scare the Nether Wolves away.
No matter if it was his reaction speed, reaction speed or his control of his Martial Soul, they were all remarkable. It was simply a textbook way to deal with it!
