Lightning Leopard Capable of Teleportation

"If I'd known, I would've had Ye Lingyuan leave later!"

Bibi Dong looked back in the direction Ye Lingyuan had just departed, then sighed. "Find a teacher at the academy with a fire-attribute martial soul and have them help soften it. I have matters to attend to, so play by yourself."

"Farewell, Teacher." Ji Wushuang suppressed his excitement and smiled.

Bibi Dong nodded with a smile.

After Bibi Dong left, Ji Wushuang carefully examined the Hundred Thousand Year Whale Pearl.

In Ji Wushuang's view, this Whale Pearl was somewhat similar to a Spirit Beast's Inner Core.

The most representative examples were the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!

Of course, some people could also condense an Inner Core within their bodies after breaking through to Titled Douluo—Dugu Bo!

"Perhaps it doesn't need to be roasted over fierce flames!"

After returning to his dormitory and hanging up a Do Not Disturb sign, Ji Wushuang eagerly swallowed the Whale Pearl and circulated his soul power to digest it.

In but an instant—

An incredibly shocking force erupted within Ji Wushuang's body, flowing through his limbs, bones, blood, and deep into his flesh.

"What astonishing power!"

"As expected of a Hundred Thousand Year Whale Pearl, it's comparable to a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!"

"Although it can't raise my soul power by several levels at once like immortal herbs, it has dramatically improved my physical body!"

"I've truly struck it rich this time!"

Ji Wushuang no longer knew what words to use to express his feelings at this moment.

After a short while—

Ji Wushuang opened his eyes and let out a long breath. However, he had not completely refined the Whale Pearl. Its power still remained within his body.

"I remember that the King of the Soul-Devouring Great White Shark had to spend a great deal of time refining the Whale Pearl of the King of the Demonic Orca after swallowing it!"

"The effects won't appear overnight. They'll gradually bring improvement over time!"

"Even after I reach Soul Saint, this Whale Pearl will still provide me with considerable benefits!"

Ji Wushuang clenched his fist, sensing the strength of his body. The corners of his lips unconsciously lifted.

The feeling of his body being filled with power was simply wonderful.

The last time he had felt this way was when he consumed the Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly and absorbed the sixty-thousand-year Soul Bone.

Although it had been a spiritual-type Soul Bone, it had still significantly strengthened his physical body.

Another two years passed. Four years had now gone by since Ji Wushuang became Bibi Dong's disciple, and he was only ten years old.

He had not disappointed Bibi Dong's high expectations.

He had already pulled far ahead of soul masters his age, and his Soul Power Level had currently reached the level-thirty bottleneck.

During this time, Bibi Dong had once again led three Titled Douluo out on an expedition. They only returned after a month, having suffered heavy casualties. Even Bibi Dong herself had sustained minor injuries, though fortunately, none of the Titled Douluo had died.

Ji Wushuang asked about it.

From Bibi Dong, he learned that they had discovered two humans formed from Hundred Thousand Year Soft Bone Charm Rabbits in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Within the lush Star Dou Great Forest, Ji Wushuang walked beneath the dappled light and shadows, searching for Spirit Beasts in person for the first time.

Bibi Dong was the only one beside him.

"From now on, you must learn how to become a true soul master."

"A soul master does not merely trade soul skills with classmates on a training field, going back and forth—you slap me, I punch you—or engage in sparring matches where everyone stops before things go too far."

"Battles between soul masters truly claim lives."

"And the baptism of blood is something you cannot do without before becoming a true soul master."

Bibi Dong earnestly instructed him.

She then reminded him, "This time, when we encounter a suitable Spirit Beast, you will deal with it yourself. I will not help unless the Spirit Beast is more than six thousand years old, in which case I will offer appropriate assistance. If we encounter other soul masters or anything else along the way, you will decide how to handle it yourself. I will not intervene."

"This Soul Hunting trip can also be considered a test from me. I hope you have not wasted these past four years."

"This disciple will remember your words and will certainly not disappoint you, Teacher!" Ji Wushuang committed every word Bibi Dong said to heart, feeling deeply grateful within.

Over the past four years—

Bibi Dong's kindness toward him had been as deep as a mountain, impossible to repay.

Ji Wushuang took a deep breath, his gaze sharp as a sword as he watched in all directions and listened closely, guarding against the sudden appearance of Spirit Beasts.

He also held a golden Treasure Sword in its sheath. The sheath itself was exceedingly plain, nothing more than pure gold in color, but the sword within was anything but ordinary.

Ji Wushuang kept his Second Martial Soul—the Heavenly Slash Sword—hidden within its sheath at all times.

The Heavenly Slash Sword was also known as the Sword of the Heavenly Dao in The Young Brewmaster's Adventure. Only one destined by heaven could wield it.

Ji Wushuang was not particularly interested in this.

However, to use this sword, he needed to pair it with the Nation-Splitting Swordplay.

The Nation-Splitting Swordplay had four realms: Absolute Life, Wind Breaker, Startling Dragon, and Sky Shatter!

His Nation-Splitting Swordplay was currently at the Absolute Life Realm.

Using the Heavenly Slash Sword was easier than using the Great Bright Vermilion Bird from the Peerless Sword Casket.

The reason was that the Great Bright Vermilion Bird was a Demonic Sword, one that could affect its wielder's mind.

Ji Wushuang was not yet confident in using it.

That was why he had specifically forged a scabbard for the Heavenly Slash Sword, to conceal the blade.

Though the Thirteen Flying Sword Techniques were powerful, true swordsmanship still required being nurtured with blood—holding the sword in one's hand!

Swish! A brilliant golden sword light tore through the sky, cleaving the Thousand Year Black Mamba Snake that had suddenly attacked from the forest into two halves.

Ji Wushuang had already completed the motion of sheathing his sword.

Clang!

Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad. Your teacher had thought you might not react in time! Is this why you forged a scabbard, so you can always keep the Heavenly Slash Sword at your side?"

Ji Wushuang said, "This disciple simply did not want to keep carrying the Peerless Sword Casket. It is rather large, after all. Carrying it on my back makes it look like a coffin."

Bibi Dong laughed. "Even if it looks like a coffin, it is still a coffin that reaps enemies' lives. It might even produce unexpected results."

Ji Wushuang smiled. "This disciple simply wishes to keep a lower profile."

Bibi Dong raised a delicate brow and glanced at the golden scabbard in Ji Wushuang's hand, smiling teasingly. "Compared with the Peerless Sword Casket, your golden scabbard is indeed much more low-key. And the value of this scabbard is ten times greater than real gold. You call that low-key?"

Ji Wushuang smiled awkwardly.

"A big one is coming up ahead. Its aura is decent—it should make a suitable opponent for you. Do not disappoint your teacher." Bibi Dong looked at Ji Wushuang, who had already grown to one meter sixty-five. Even in high heels, she was only one meter eighty-two. She could no longer pat Ji Wushuang on the head as she had before, so she could only pat his shoulder in encouragement.

Ji Wushuang nodded and raised his eyes to look ahead.

Even things two hundred meters away were crystal clear to him, whether it was day or night.

Within his sight, a massive, muscular Lightning Leopard flickered in and out of view among the trees, its cold, bloodthirsty gaze fixed firmly upon him and Bibi Dong.

Ji Wushuang drew his sword, swung it, and sheathed it in one fluid motion!

Sword qi tore through the air and reached the Lightning Leopard in the blink of an eye.

This strike contained the Nation-Splitting Swordplay.

Bibi Dong had personally verified that only peak defensive-type Soul Ancestors could withstand it.

The Lightning Leopard before him would be injured the moment it came into contact with it.

However.

The expected result did not occur.

The Lightning Leopard suddenly vanished, teleporting several meters away.

"Teleportation!?"

Ji Wushuang froze for a moment, then was overjoyed.

Teleportation was a soul skill possessed by only a small number of Lightning Leopards.

The Lightning Leopard Bibi Dong had caught for him last time had never used a teleportation skill during its capture.

Among the Spirit Beasts recorded by Spirit Hall, Lightning Rabbits, Lightning Falcons, and other such creatures also possessed this teleportation ability. If used well, its effects would be immeasurable.

After four years of Bibi Dong's training.

Ji Wushuang judged at a glance that the Lightning Leopard before him was around five thousand five hundred years old.

"Teacher, this disciple is going in!"
