Whoosh!
Xiao Tian leaped onto Fifteen's blade and directly poured half of his Soul Power into it. Then something astonishing happened—Fifteen grew larger!
The entire blade instantly expanded three or four times in size!
"Fifteen!"
With a thought, Xiao Tian had Fifteen adjust itself to a suitable size. As for the excess Soul Power, it was stored within the Fifteen Sword Body as fuel for Sword Control Flight.
Boom!
The next moment, under Xiao Wu's astonished gaze, Xiao Tian truly took flight. He rose straight into the air, flew around in a stylish circle, then swiftly landed.
"So, so cool!"
A different light shone in Xiao Wu's eyes. Compared to Xiao Tian's Sword Control Flight, she felt as though what she had done earlier had merely been child's play.
After landing, Xiao Tian put Fifteen away and nodded in satisfaction. He had not expected his first attempt to succeed. Pretty nice!
While testing Sword Control Flight just now, he had also discovered something: he could pour part of his Soul Power into Fifteen and use it as fuel for Fifteen to move freely.
This discovery delighted Xiao Tian immensely. He just did not know how much Soul Power Fifteen itself could store. Would that not be equivalent to having an additional supply of Soul Power?
It was similar to the effect of the Milk Bottle Soul Tool in Douluo II.
Once an enemy believed his Soul Power was exhausted, he could have Fifteen pretend to disappear, wait for the right opportunity, then suddenly appear and deal the enemy a fatal blow!
After hearing Xiao Wu's praise, Xiao Tian smiled. "What do you think? Want me to take you flying?"
Xiao Wu said hesitantly, "We won't fall, right?"
Xiao Wu was a little afraid that Xiao Tian's Soul Power would run out halfway through the flight. Would they not just end up dying together?
That was somewhat abnormal.
"Hahaha, it's fine. We're just trying it out a little."
Soon, night fell again. While Xiao Wu was asleep, Xiao Tian quietly slipped out of the room.
The main reason was that he had grown rather close to Xiao Wu lately, yet it was difficult for him to explain why he cultivated so quickly. Besides, they had only known each other for a few days, so Xiao Tian did not think there was any need to explain.
Leaving in the middle of the night would spare him plenty of unnecessary trouble.
After leaving the city, Xiao Tian headed in the opposite direction from the Soul Hunting Forest Yu Xiaogang and the others had gone to.
Along the way, Xiao Tian ran while charging Fifteen. He wanted to see just how much Soul Power Fifteen could withstand.
Before long, the Fifteen Sword Body began trembling intensely, as if it were saying, I'm full, really full! If you put in any more, it'll overflow! I really can't eat anymore!
Xiao Tian calculated it quietly. Not bad. At present, Fifteen could store roughly an entire Level Ten Soul Power's worth of his Soul Power. Once he obtained a Soul Ring and all his attributes improved, it should be able to hold even more.
Gradually, after traveling for several hours, the sky began to brighten, and he caught sight of the Soul Hunting Forest in the distance.
However, he was in no hurry to enter. Instead, he found a small teahouse nearby, ordered some tea, and restored his condition.
This was his first time coming into contact with Soul Beasts. Although he had seen plenty in his previous life, that had ultimately only been book knowledge and could not compare to the real thing. He only hoped he would not make any mistakes later.
Meanwhile, in Seventh Dormitory at Nuoding Academy.
Xiao Wu rubbed her eyes and looked at the bed beside hers.
Huh? Where had Xiao Tian gone? Had he gone off to cultivate behind her back?
What a grinder!
He had not even woken her up!
Xiao Wu immediately became a little angry. She hurriedly washed up and went to the place where he usually practiced his swordsmanship, only to find it completely empty.
Xiao Wu: ???
Fine, fine, fine. Xiao Wu decided that Xiao Tian had even changed his cultivation spot. When she returned tonight, she would definitely teach him a lesson.
However, this was also an opportunity for her. She could take this chance to find a secluded place and condense her First Soul Ring.
After resting briefly, Xiao Tian headed straight for the outskirts of the Soul Hunting Forest.
With his current strength, he could probably only wander around the outer region.
He had trained with the sword ever since he could remember, so his physique was now exceptionally good. He felt that his First Soul Ring should be able to approach a thousand years at the limit.
As for a Millennium Soul Beast, he did not dare to consider it. A hundred-year Soul Beast and a Millennium Soul Beast were separated by a qualitative difference, and he did not believe he could defeat a Millennium Soul Beast unless he had enough Soul Power to sustain himself!
Along the way, Xiao Tian came across a large bamboo forest. It was the plant-type Soul Beast Yu Xiaogang had first encountered with Tang San in the original story: the ten-year Soul Beast, Lone Bamboo.
Xiao Tian could not help but smile faintly. Tang San was Tang Hao's son, yet Yu Xiaogang had Tang San absorb the Soul Ring of such a worthless Soul Beast as his First Soul Ring. Yu Xiaogang must not have wanted to live anymore.
Lone Bamboo possessed no offensive ability. The only attribute it could provide was a slight increase in toughness.
If Xiao Tian absorbed it, it should increase Sword Fifteen's toughness, but there was simply no need for that!
Without a second thought, Xiao Tian passed it by. He had directly set his sights on silkworm-type Soul Beasts and certain plant-type Martial Souls with especially vigorous vitality—Soul Beasts that could increase Soul Power.
The former had relatively low offensive power, while absorbing the latter could not only increase Soul Power but also make Fifteen tougher.
However, he could not say exactly what kind of Soul Skill he would obtain. Soul Skills were simply too random, especially from the latter!
[Warning! Warning! Host, evacuate immediately! Within a five-hundred-meter radius, there is a fifty-thousand-year Azure Wood Silkworm King. Although it has little offensive ability, it is not something a tiny Soul Master like you can provoke!]
Xiao Tian: ???
Xiao Tian immediately looked around vigilantly. Finding nothing unusual, he did not relax.
Instead, he stood still as Sword Intent surged from his body, continuously spreading outward with Xiao Tian at its center!
This was one application of his own Sword Intent.
Sword Intent Perception!
Sword Intent was like his own limbs. By spreading his Sword Intent out in a "thinned" state, Xiao Tian could vaguely detect certain conditions within a given range.
However, this move consumed his Mental Power. After only a few seconds, his face gradually turned pale.
Just as he was about to fail to hold on, he suddenly sensed movement in the grass four hundred meters away in the three o'clock direction!
There seemed to be something rather plump lying motionless atop that patch of grass?
Huff, huff, huff...
Cold sweat streamed down Xiao Tian's face uncontrollably. This was not suitable for him right now. Once he had the chance later, he absolutely had to find a spirit bone that could increase Mental Power!
After calming himself slightly, Xiao Tian held his sword in his right hand and slowly approached in that direction!
When he was still five meters away, he finally saw the so-called Azure Jade Silkworm King.
Its body was emerald green. Like a chameleon, it clung to the grass, with faint wood grain patterns covering its body.
Xiao Tian counted carefully. There were exactly ten markings. This meant that the Azure Jade Silkworm before him was a Millennium Soul Beast!
This damn system had gone crazy again. Where was there any Azure Jade Silkworm King?!
