Zhang Chen originally thought that his Automatic Cruise skill was useless, after all, he could already have Golden Light Possession and actively kill strange souls, so what was the point of this Automatic Cruise?
But after experiencing the incident with the Fox Spirit, Zhang Chen finally realized that his Automatic Cruise skill was truly marvelous!
Human reaction speed is ultimately not as fast as the strange beings, but if there is Automatic Cruise to block, it is enough to give time to react.
"Moreover, after my Golden Light was enhanced on the long knife, it gained the sharp attribute of the long knife, increasing its lethality, it’s truly incredible. Does it mean that if I enhance Golden Light on anything, the Automatic Cruise Golden Light can obtain the attributes of that item?" pondered Zhang Chen with countless thoughts in his mind.
Hastily, Zhang Chen reinforced the long knife with Golden Light once again, when suddenly the stone wall not far away twisted, forming a familiar human face, it was the young Fox Spirit.
"Boy, what technique is this?"
The girl’s face was entirely made of stone, vividly lifelike and identical to the Fox Spirit’s face, at this moment the stone was as soft as flowing water, becoming extraordinarily malleable.
Accompanied by the stone face speaking, a crisp voice reached Zhang Chen’s ears.
Upon hearing the sound, Zhang Chen quickly looked over and immediately saw the vivid and lifelike human face continuously moving on the stone wall, the eyelids of that face blinking, even the eyeballs were turning, at this moment angrily questioning him.
Zhang Chen ignored the Fox Spirit girl’s curses, lowering his head to glance at the long knife at his waist, his Automatic Cruise hadn’t reacted to the face on the stone wall.
"The Fox Spirit’s face is anchored inside the stone wall, the stone wall acts as a barrier, equivalent to a real physical body, my Automatic Cruise seems helpless against the Fox Spirit’s soul entrapped in the stone wall," Zhang Chen murmured to himself.
But it didn’t matter, Autoflight couldn’t deal with the Fox Spirit, he still had other skills, didn’t he?
"You want to kill me, yet you’re asking me about my methods?" Zhang Chen’s eyes bore into the Fox Spirit in the wall; in the next moment, he directly activated the Soul Mark skill.
With the activation of Zhang Chen’s skill, suddenly from his pupils shot out a gray chain, that chain followed Zhang Chen’s gaze, landing directly on the stone wall, surprisingly ignoring the wall’s obstruction and inserted directly into the Fox Spirit’s soul.
The moment the Fox Spirit saw the gray chain, an ominous feeling swelled in her heart, as the chain flew towards her, she seemed to hear a cold, chilling, and evil clattering sound of a chain from within the void, resonating deep within her soul.
That sound seemed to carry a mysterious power, making one feel as if enveloped in a nightmare, thoughts halted, response speed slowing down limitlessly.
She saw the chain approaching like a venomous snake, feeling her heart tremble as if encountering a natural enemy, so frightened she wanted to burrow deep into the stone wall to hide, but who knew her soul seemed frozen at that moment, only able to watch helplessly as the chain crossed the void and merged into her soul, becoming one with her soul’s essence.
Then in the next moment, Zhang Chen felt a slight stirring in his heart, sensing a mysterious connection seemed to have formed between him and the Fox Spirit in front of him, a feeling as if a chain had linked him and the Fox Spirit together.
He could sense the location of the other end of the chain, and similarly, the other end could sense his position.
"What the hell is this!"
The Fox Spirit in the stone wall abruptly turned pale, eyes full of horror, feeling herself violated, an additional something appeared in her soul, a sensation as if she was no longer pure.
Then, following the sensation, the Fox Spirit’s stone eyeballs shifted, her gaze landed on Zhang Chen, her voice full of panic, "Is this your doing?"
The Fox Spirit seemed to encounter something incomprehensible; then numerous runes flowed within the Fox Spirit’s body, cast upon that chain, but the chain seemed nonexistent, not of this realm nor that, beyond time and space, all the Fox Spirit’s tactics passed through that chain without effect.
As if hitting air, passing directly through emptiness.
"Nailed it!"
Seeing the Fox Spirit successfully marked by his skill, Zhang Chen patted the Fox Spirit’s physical body at his waist, his heart relaxing involuntarily.
Now the task was to test whether if he could destroy the Fox Spirit’s body, the skill would judge the Fox Spirit’s time was nigh, and whether he could control and enslave the Fox Spirit’s soul.
"What is this trick you’re using!" The Fox Spirit’s eyes stared at Zhang Chen in shock and anger, "Hurry and get that ghastly thing out of my body!"
Hearing this, Zhang Chen couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, feeling something odd about that sentence, though he couldn’t pinpoint exactly.
Cancel the skill?
Sorry! Even though the skill belonged to Zhang Chen, he truly had no way of canceling the mark.
To cancel the mark, there were only two ways; one was for Zhang Chen to croak, the other for the Fox Spirit to breathe her last.
"You vile creature dared to secretly attack, plotting to kill me, have you considered how I might revenge?" Zhang Chen’s eyes fixed on the Fox Spirit, his voice cold and ruthless.
"Ha, so what if I ambushed you? You’re trapped here now, without my help, you can’t escape. Unless you want to be trapped here forever, you wouldn’t dare harm my body." The Fox Spirit wasn’t showing any weakness, her eyes locked on Zhang Chen, flashing with a smug expression.
