Repelling the Black Wolf Pack, Killing the Tusked Boar (Seeking Investment! Seeking Monthly Tickets! Seeking Recommendation Tickets!)
Meanwhile, Jing Shaoyu had not been idle either. He scattered green light with both hands, and the wild grass beneath his feet, stirred by the green glow, burst forth with vigorous vitality and began growing wildly. Tangled vines stretched out, obstructing the remaining eleven Black Wolves in their advance.
In the end, only two or three Black Wolves reached Jing Shaoyu by the time the lead wolf was killed. Their bloody maws gaped open as they lunged to bite Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan, who had remained where they were.
Jing Shaoyu wrapped an arm around Xu Xiaoyan's waist, spread his Origin Wings, and carried them into the air, dodging the pounces of the three Black Wolves.
Without lingering in the air, Jing Shaoyu brought Xu Xiaoyan down beside Zhu Ziguang. The three stood back-to-back once more, watching the wolf pack before them warily.
The wolf pack had split into two groups. Three stood at the front, while the other eight remained behind them. The death of their leader had already made the eight Black Wolves at the rear want to retreat.
"Good. Take care of these three that aren't afraid of dying, and the rest will be nothing to worry about," Jing Shaoyu encouraged.
"That's right!" Zhu Ziguang agreed.
The three of them took the initiative to attack. Zhu Ziguang swung his Golden Scythe and charged at the three Black Wolves in front. Jing Shaoyu remained where he was, condensing a vermilion Fireball in his hand, which flew toward the three Black Wolves alongside Zhu Ziguang. Xu Xiaoyan hid behind Jing Shaoyu, silently waiting for her soul skill to cool down.
Seeing their prey actually take the initiative to attack, the three Black Wolves' eyes gleamed bloodthirstily as they let out threatening roars.
However, it was useless. Zhu Ziguang was unmoved. When he was less than two meters from the Black Wolves, he fiercely slashed down with his Golden Scythe. At the same time, a Fireball the size of a volleyball passed over his body from behind and shot straight at the wolves.
The three Black Wolves reacted differently. The one on the left swung its sharp claws at Zhu Ziguang's Golden Scythe. The one in the middle seemed rather foolish, standing still as it stared at the Fireball falling from the sky. The one on the right had a cunning gleam in its eyes as it slowly backed away.
The result was two dead Black Wolves and one that fled.
The Black Wolf that had fled returned to the main pack. After letting out a wolf howl, it turned and ran deeper into the forest. Seeing this, the remaining eight Black Wolves all followed and fled.
Jing Shaoyu and the other two finally breathed a sigh of relief.
While Jing Shaoyu's group battled the wolf pack, the three enormous LCD screens in the Tower Master's office on the top floor of the East Sea Spirit Transfer Pagoda were simultaneously broadcasting the scene. Yet the seat that should have belonged to Tower Master Ji Changming was occupied by a Red-haired Woman.
Ji Changming, standing nearby, did not dare show the slightest complaint. On the contrary, he stood respectfully by, ready to await the woman's orders at any time.
The woman's skin was like congealed cream, her face like fine jade, her eyes like stars, and her lips like crimson blossoms. Her beauty was peerless, and her temperament ethereal. Her fiery red hair draped over her blade-like shoulders. She looked lazy and casual as she watched Jing Shaoyu on the screen, a faint smile appearing on her face.
"What an interesting child," the woman said. Her voice was like a lark, melodious and unforgettable. "Pagoda Master Ji."
"Your subordinate is here!" Ji Changming immediately replied respectfully.
"From now on, send me this child's Spirit Ascension Platform records on time. I want to observe him for a while," the woman said, parting her crimson lips slightly, her beautiful eyes brimming with tenderness.
"Your subordinate understands!" A trace of delight flashed through Ji Changming's eyes as he replied.
"A Healer Soul Master..." The woman's gaze suddenly turned nostalgic as she murmured in an extremely soft voice, "The continent's number one Healer Soul Master? Hehe~"
"..." Ji Changming raised his head and looked at the woman in confusion.
"There's nothing else for you to do. You may leave first!" The woman immediately returned to calmness.
"Yes, this subordinate will take his leave!" Ji Changming respectfully replied, then backed away step by step until he left his own office.
Inside the Spirit Ascension Platform world, Jing Shaoyu and the other two looked at the three Black Wolf corpses left before them. There was exactly one for each of them, and they began absorbing their Spirit Power.
A moment later, they finished absorbing it. Zhu Ziguang directly exited the Spirit Ascension Platform, leaving only Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan behind.
"Little Yu Brother, which way should we go next?" Xu Xiaoyan happily hugged Jing Shaoyu's arm and asked sweetly.
"Let's go this way." Jing Shaoyu thought for a moment, then pointed to the left.
The two continued forward. The area around them was shaded by lush trees and filled with blooming flowers. Coupled with Xu Xiaoyan's laughter and cheerful chatter, one might have thought they were on a spring outing in some forest park.
After walking about fifteen hundred meters, they came face-to-face with a giant boar with savage tusks. The boar was nearly four meters long and over one and a half meters tall at the shoulder. Standing there, it was more than ten centimeters taller than Xu Xiaoyan.
"Xiao Yan, be careful!" Jing Shaoyu immediately shielded Xu Xiaoyan behind him and watched the boar less than ten meters away vigilantly. "This is a Tusked Boar that's just reached a hundred years!"
"Little Yu Brother, what do we do? Should we fight it?" Xu Xiaoyan gripped her ice staff tightly and asked nervously.
"Yes! Of course!" Jing Shaoyu nodded. "Stay far away and use your soul skills. Don't come close! Leave the rest to me!"
"But..." Xu Xiaoyan had just begun to say something when she saw Jing Shaoyu rush out. Left with no choice, she could only shout, "Little Yu Brother, be careful!"
"Snort~" Seeing Jing Shaoyu actually dare to charge at it, the Tusked Boar showed no restraint. Its massive body immediately moved, its tusks glowing faintly as it charged toward Jing Shaoyu.
Seeing the Tusked Boar take the bait, Jing Shaoyu's lips curled up slightly, and a trace of disdain flashed across his face. With a thought, he swiftly sent several streams of green light from his hands. The green light landed precisely on three large trees and the grass within ten meters of him.
As the Tusked Boar charged toward Jing Shaoyu, a thick branch suddenly appeared before it. The Tusked Boar could not evade in time and crashed directly into the branch. Crack! The branch broke. However, the broken branch seemed like a switch. The instant it hit the ground, dozens more branches of varying thickness emerged around it, blocking the Tusked Boar's path.
Driven by inertia, the Tusked Boar smashed through dozens of newly grown branches in succession before directly toppling onto its side.
The instant the Tusked Boar fell, an Ice Wheel appeared beneath it and promptly froze one of its legs pressed against the ground.
Clearly, this was Xu Xiaoyan's doing.
Jing Shaoyu naturally would not miss such a favorable opportunity. His fingers moved rapidly, and the grass beneath the Tusked Boar began growing madly. Green vines, like snakes, bound the fallen Tusked Boar into a dumpling in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, a wooden staff appeared in Jing Shaoyu's hand, sharp at one end and thick and blunt at the other. It carried the fresh scent of vegetation and was two meters long. A jade-green glow covered its surface, making this ordinary wooden staff anything but ordinary.
He aimed at the Tusked Boar, then leaped up fiercely before plunging down. The sharpened wooden staff pierced through the fur on the Tusked Boar's belly and stabbed into its body.
The Tusked Boar let out a miserable howl, and its massive body began struggling violently. The grass binding its limbs continuously tore under its immense strength. Yet Jing Shaoyu's attack did not stop. A vermilion Fireball shot from his hand and landed precisely on the wooden staff embedded in its belly and on the surrounding grass.
Then, with a boom, the wooden staff ignited, and the grass ignited. Like withered plants dried out in autumn, the flames spread wildly.
In the blink of an eye, the Tusked Boar became a flaming pig covered from head to toe in fire.
Once the grass binding it had all caught fire, it was finally able to move. The scorching flames made it roll continuously on the ground, trying to extinguish the fire through rolling. However, it was useless. Instead, the flames on its body grew even fiercer. They soon burned away its fur and began scorching its flesh.
By then, Jing Shaoyu had flown into the air. He still did not forget to release vines toward the Tusked Boar to intensify the flames, occasionally sending a Fireball toward areas where the fire was weaker.
Being burned by fire was unbearable. When the Tusked Boar realized that rolling all over the ground could not put out the flames and understood that it was truly finished this time, it actually forced itself upright with its last bit of strength and began charging around wildly.
The power of a rampaging boar was still terrifying, especially a Spirit Beast boar making a final desperate counterattack. Nearly every charge knocked over a large tree. Fortunately, Jing Shaoyu could fly. Otherwise, such an assault would have been truly difficult to handle.
Finally, after knocking over nearly ten large trees in succession, the Tusked Boar could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground. The flames on its body still burned fiercely, but its life force had already been completely consumed.
"Yay!" Seeing this from dozens of meters away, Xu Xiaoyan impatiently jumped out and cheered, "Little Yu Brother is amazing!"
"Haha, it was nothing much." Jing Shaoyu landed beside Xu Xiaoyan and smiled. "Mainly because it was a Tusked Boar with limited offensive ability. Otherwise, the two of us really wouldn't have had an easy time dealing with it!"
"That's still amazing!" Xu Xiaoyan said sweetly. "Tusked Boars have very high defense!"
Outside, everyone in the control room watched Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan in considerable surprise. They had not expected two six-year-old children entering the Spirit Ascension Platform for the first time to defeat a hundred-year Spirit Beast so easily. Although that hundred-year Spirit Beast was a Tusked Boar, it was still incredibly impressive.
"They really are amazing!" Zhu Ziguang had watched the entire process and could not help sighing. Even he could not guarantee that he could deal with a Tusked Boar so easily. Yet Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan, one a Healer Soul Master and one a Control Soul Master, had accomplished it with such ease. He could not help wondering again, were martial souls with Innate Full Soul Power really that powerful?
"They really are amazing!" Beside Zhu Ziguang stood Yi Yi and Ma Zhiyuan, who had exited first. A strange light flickered in Yi Yi's eyes as she agreed.
"..." Ma Zhiyuan remained silent, but his eyes were filled with envy. Jing Shaoyu's control over plants had deeply affected him. With Azure Vine as his martial soul, he simply could not achieve Jing Shaoyu's level. Was this the difference? He was deeply discouraged.
Director of Instruction Cheng De's expression was much simpler. Aside from happiness, there was delight, and aside from that, joy.
