He actually hadn't woken her up!
Xiao Wu immediately got a little angry. She quickly washed up and went to the place where he had been practicing his sword, only to find it completely empty.
Xiao Wu: ???
Fine, fine, fine. Xiao Wu felt that Xiao Tian had even changed his training spot now. When she got back tonight, she would definitely teach him a lesson.
However, this was also an opportunity for her. She could find a relatively secluded place and condense her First Soul Ring.
After a short rest, Xiao Tian went straight to the outskirts of the Soul Hunting Forest.
With his current strength, he figured he could only wander around the outer area.
He had been practicing the sword ever since he could remember, and by now his physique was quite good. He felt that his First Soul Ring should be able to push close to the thousand-year limit.
As for an actual thousand-year one, he didn't dare think about it. There was a qualitative difference between a hundred years and a thousand years, and he also didn't think he could defeat a thousand-year soul beast unless he had enough Soul Power to support himself!
Along the way, Xiao Tian came across a large bamboo forest. It was the plant-type soul beast Yu Xiaogang had led Tang San to encounter first in the original story, a ten-year soul beast—Lone Bamboo.
That made Xiao Tian unable to help smiling faintly. Tang San was Tang Hao's son. If Yu Xiaogang made Tang San absorb the soul ring of such a trash soul beast for his First Soul Ring, he was probably asking to die.
Lone Bamboo had no offensive ability whatsoever. The only attribute it could provide was a small increase in toughness.
If he absorbed it, it should increase the toughness of Sword Fifteen, but there was really no need for that!
Xiao Tian skipped it without even thinking. For soul beasts that could increase Soul Power, he directly set his sights on silkworm-type soul beasts and some plant-type martial souls with relatively vigorous vitality.
The former had relatively low aggression, while absorbing the latter could not only increase Soul Power, but also make Fifteen tougher.
However, he couldn't say exactly what kind of soul skill he would obtain. Soul skills were far too random, especially with the latter!
Warning! Warning! Host, please 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 still not something a tiny Soul Master like you can mess with!
Xiao Tian: ???
Xiao Tian immediately looked around warily. When he found nothing unusual, he did not relax because of it.
Instead, he stood still on the spot, sword intent surging around him and continuously spreading outward with Xiao Tian at the center!
This was one way he applied his own sword intent.
Sword Intent Perception!
Sword intent was just like his own hands and feet. By "thinning" his sword intent and spreading it out, as long as it was within a certain range, Xiao Tian could faintly detect some of the situation.
However, this move consumed his Mental Power. In just a few short seconds, his complexion gradually began to turn pale.
Just as he was about to be unable to hold on any longer, he suddenly sensed movement in the grass four hundred meters away at his three o'clock!
There seemed to be something rather plump on that patch of grass, quietly staying still without moving?
Huff, huff, huff—
Cold sweat poured uncontrollably down Xiao Tian's face. This wasn't suitable for the current him. If he got the chance in the future, he had to find a head bone that could improve Mental Power!
Xiao Tian calmed himself slightly, held his sword in his right hand, and slowly approached in that direction!
In the end, when he was still five meters away, he finally saw the figure of the so-called Azure Jade Silkworm King.
Its body was emerald green, like a chameleon, clinging to the grass, with faint wood grain patterns on its body.
Xiao Tian counted carefully. There were exactly ten lines, which meant the Azure Jade Silkworm before him was a thousand-year soul beast!
This damn system had gone crazy again. Where did an Azure Jade Silkworm King come from?!
P.S. Please give recommendation votes, please bookmark, please keep reading. Trial-run follow-up reading is very important, my godfathers!
System: The Host Has the Bearing of a Sword God!
Xiao Tian did not rush forward. Instead, he thought carefully for a moment. The offensive power of silkworm-type soul beasts was not very high.
A typical example was the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Although he possessed both mental and ice attributes, his clan's combat strength was still low. They were only fit to become food for other soul beasts.
As for the Azure Jade Silkworm, that was even more the case. It possessed relatively dense vitality, was not very aggressive, and had a large amount of Soul Power within it. It was actually quite suitable to become his First Soul Ring.
Only, the current Azure Jade Silkworm was clearly just a thousand-year soul beast, so why would the system say he was a fifty-thousand-year Azure Jade Silkworm King?
Combined with the system's ridiculous nature from before, even if he were stupid, he could understand that this system had very likely logged in early!
In other words, the system had bound itself to him ahead of time, and at least several thousand years early—perhaps even over ten thousand years early!
Xiao Tian was not stupid. Judging from the system reminding him to be wary of Tang San, Xiao Wu, Tang Hao, and the others, as well as the prefixes it used when referring to them, his guess was very likely correct!
Of course, there was still a lack of samples to verify it. If it was really as he thought, then he might need to make a trip to Holy Spirit Village and Shrek Academy.
If he guessed correctly, the system would definitely give corresponding warnings when the time came. And now, he had somewhat figured out the system's nature. As long as he did something beyond its expectations, he should be able to trigger a Critical Strike Reward.
This could be seen from the fact that after he defeated Tang San and Xiao Wu, shocking the system, he obtained rewards.
Afterward, Xiao Tian turned his gaze to the Azure Jade Silkworm before him, his expression turning strange. Could this tiny Azure Jade Silkworm really grow into an Azure Jade Silkworm King in the future?
And this was only the small Soul Hunting Forest near Nuoding City. There probably weren't even any ten-thousand-year soul beasts here!
However, that was not impossible. After all, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was a living example. He had forcibly slept his way to a million years of cultivation, far more outrageous than the one before Xiao Tian. Every soul beast had its own opportunities.
But so what?
Unfortunately, this Azure Jade Silkworm had run into him. That made this his opportunity, and he absolutely could not let it slip away!
It was just a measly Thousand Year Soul Ring. With his current physical condition, if he gritted his teeth, he should still be able to endure it!
Besides, silkworm-type soul beasts did not have strong offensive power, so the pressure their soul rings exerted on soul masters was relatively weaker too.
If it had been any other thousand-year soul beast, Xiao Tian would have turned and left.
"Sword Control Technique!"
Endless Sword Intent erupted from Xiao Tian's body. He swung Fifteen in his right hand sharply toward the Azure Jade Silkworm, and Fifteen's blade trembled, letting out a clear sword hum. Several sword shadows attacked the Azure Jade Silkworm in full at extreme speed.
Swish, swish, swish!
As the sound of rushing wind rang out and blood sprayed from the Azure Jade Silkworm's body, Xiao Tian ended the battle in an instant.
It was a thousand-year soul beast, after all. Xiao Tian still did not dare be careless. He instantly pushed his strength to the limit, aiming to defeat the enemy in one move, to kill in one strike!
Huff, huff, huff~~
Xiao Tian could not help panting heavily a few times. He felt a stabbing pain in his head, and his mind was heavy and dazed.
"Fifteen, go up and add a few more cuts!"
Although the Azure Jade Silkworm looked dead, what if it was not?
Xiao Tian felt it was still necessary to go over and finish it with a few more strikes. There was never anything wrong with being a little cautious.
But the next moment, the system's shocked voice exploded in Xiao Tian's mind, and he knew there was no need to finish it off.
Holy shit, Host, you're awesome! As expected, this Tongzi didn't misjudge you. Under this Tongzi's guidance, Host actually killed a fifty-thousand-year Azure Jade Silkworm King while only at the level of a Soul Master. The system is deeply shaken. Host truly has the bearing to become the Sword God!
Xiao Tian was speechless. Why did those words sound so familiar?
My son Wang Teng has the bearing of a Great Emperor?
But in the end, hadn't Wang Teng been jinxed to death?
Xiao Tian did not want to hear those words at all. He felt they affected his luck.
Ding. Because Host has once again shocked this system, a Critical Strike Reward has been triggered: Milk Bottle Soul Tool (growth-type), Soldier Script Secret (Douluo Version).
Milk Bottle Soul Tool (growth-type): The amount of Soul Power it can provide depends on Host's own level. Its quality will improve as Host's strength increases. At most, it can store the total amount of Host's current soul power.
Soldier Script Secret (Douluo Version): Can manipulate all weapons. As Host becomes more proficient in using it and increases in level, it can manipulate any external object, and can even treat the opponent as a weapon and control them!
Holy shit!
System, you're amazing!
This was way too powerful!
You really are my own father!
There was no need to even mention the Milk Bottle Soul Tool. It solved his current flaw of insufficient soul power, and it was even growth-type. Once he reached the Titled Douluo realm, the soul power this milk bottle could provide him would definitely be an ocean's worth!
That was equivalent to him having double the soul power. An enemy would have to face two of him at once!
As for the Soldier Script Secret, there was even less need to say. It could manipulate all weapons and external objects. Once he was skilled with it, his control over Fifteen would become even more effortless.
Of course, that was not the main point.
The instant Xiao Tian saw this Soldier Script Secret, he thought of what kind of expression Tang San would have if, in the future, he tried to use Hidden Weapons against him, only to discover that all of his Hidden Weapons were being used by Xiao Tian instead.
And as his level and proficiency increased, could he even control Tang San's Blue Silver Grass too? After all... that also counted as an external object!
When Tang San activated Blue Silver Grass to attack him, only to discover that the Blue Silver Grass was out of control and attacking himself instead, Xiao Tian found the scene amusing just thinking about it!
Afterward, Xiao Tian held Fifteen in his right hand and kept alert to his surroundings as he slowly walked toward the Azure Jade Silkworm's corpse.
"Fifteen, when I absorb the soul ring later, protect me from the side. If there's any movement, kill it for me. If you can't beat it, then carry me with sword flight and run!"
Clang, clang, clang~~
A piercing sword cry came from Fifteen. Its blade trembled, indicating that it understood!
Xiao Tian did not waste words either. He dragged the Azure Jade Silkworm's corpse deep into the grass, then drew out the soul ring inside its body and began absorbing it.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Soul Hunting Forest.
Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were currently under attack by a Mandala Snake. Unfortunately, this time, Yu Xiaogang had likewise fainted.
Tang Hao in the Dark sighed and was just about to take action and seriously injure this Mandala Snake for Tang San when he suddenly discovered that Tang San's gaze changed. Tang San took out a dagger, both hands turning the color of black jade, and with an agile figure, he charged toward the Mandala Snake.
Tang Hao immediately stopped, his eyes unfathomably deep. In truth, he had long known that Tang San was abnormal. This was also why, when he had first seen that Tang San's first martial soul was Blue Silver Grass, he had been cold toward him. Only after seeing that his Second Martial Soul was the Clear Sky Hammer had he completely felt at ease.
This proved that Tang San was his biological son, and that he was also the possessor of Twin Martial Souls. That was enough!
As for how Tang San made those Hidden Weapons, and even the skills he had learned on the mountain behind the village when he was young, he could completely ignore it all.
The stronger Tang San became, the happier he would be!
Once Tang San grew up, that would be the time to take revenge on Spirit Hall!
Then Tang Hao thought of Xiao Wu at Nuoding Academy. He had not expected that secretly protecting Tang San this time would bring him such a pleasant surprise.
A hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beast!
And she just so happened to be in the same dorm as Little San. This was practically a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone delivered straight to his door!
At first, it was not that he had never considered whether he should simply reveal himself, capture Xiao Wu, and keep her penned up.
But after thinking it over, he gave up on the idea. Right now, Little San's strength was still relatively weak, and he had no way to withstand the pressure of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring. Unless the soul beast offered a Sacrifice of her own accord. In that case, Xiao Wu would need to be like Ah Yin, develop feelings for the other party, and willingly offer herself as a Sacrifice!
Thinking of the scene of Ah Yin voluntarily offering herself as a Sacrifice to him, the corner of his mouth lifted slightly.
Since he could do it, Little San should be able to do it too!
He believed in his son!
Tang Hao changed his attitude as quickly as turning the pages of a book. At first, he had clearly been so cold toward Tang San.
Six years!
During Tang San's six years studying at Nuoding Academy, he would not leave for long, in order to ensure that Xiao Wu truly remained near Nuoding Academy the entire time.
After six years, if Xiao Wu planned to part ways with Tang San, then he would find an opportunity to make his move!
Thinking this, a ruthless glint flashed through Tang Hao's eyes.
As for Ah Yin's Sacrifice, he did not feel too much sorrow. After all, many things in the middle had been secretly guided by him. But he felt that his actions had wronged Clear Sky Sect, and wronged his father even more!
Spirit Hall had gone too far. In order to force him to show himself, they had actually come to his door and threatened him!
It had caused his father to be angered to death!
They were simply unforgivable!
