Top-Tier Life System Soul Beast

Xiao Ze felt a warmth in his heart.

Grandpa Xiao really had been worried about him.

"Alright, you two stay here. Wait until Nana finishes absorbing the soul ring, then you can leave."

"Okay." Xiao Ze had no objections and went with Grandpa Xiao to wait somewhere nearby.

Before long, Hu Liena absorbed her Fourth Soul Ring and became a Soul Ancestor.

"Such a young Soul Ancestor. She truly is a genius of Martial Soul Academy," Principal Xiao remarked with emotion.

But in his heart, Xiao Ze was still the most outstanding.

"Grandpa Ju, who are they?"

Having become a Soul Ancestor, Hu Liena was brimming with excitement. Her slender waist swayed as she walked over gracefully.

"They saw you obtaining the soul ring, so I held them here."

"Grandpa Ju, I'm done absorbing it. Let them go."

Hu Liena walked up to Xiao Ze and reached out to pinch his cheek.

"You're quite a handsome little boy, just a little too dark. Once you turn fairer, you'll definitely look good."

Xiao Ze was speechless. Was this big sister being a little too familiar?

Even a face-lover didn't act like this.

Still, Hu Liena's alluring fox-like eyes really did stir one's heart. Coupled with the rich, secluded fragrance clinging to her body, she was even more enticing.

"Little brother, are you here to obtain a soul ring?" Hu Liena's red lips parted slightly, her breath fragrant as orchids.

"Mm, my second soul ring," Xiao Ze answered honestly.

"Oh... not bad talent, little brother. You're already able to obtain your second soul ring at this age. Do you want to join Spirit Hall?"

Grandpa Xiao had no objections to Spirit Hall. It truly was a good place.

"I already asked him. He wants to participate in the Soul Master Tournament, so he won't be joining."

Hu Liena covered her mouth and smiled. "Then I hope to see you at the Grand Finals of the Soul Master Tournament."

"I will be there." Xiao Ze's reply was extremely serious.

Hu Liena froze slightly.

Chrysanthemum Douluo beside her did not take it seriously.

Only three academies could participate in the Grand Finals. The difficulty was far from ordinary.

"Little brother, what kind of soul beast do you need? I can tell you where to find one."

"A Life System Soul Beast."

"Oh... an auxiliary martial soul. There are Life System Soul Beasts over there, and quite a few of them too." Hu Liena pointed in a direction.

"Thank you, Sister."

Hu Liena pinched Xiao Ze's cheek again. "Such a good boy."

"Grandpa Ju, let's go back."

"Mm."

"Little brother, be careful."

"Got it."

Watching the two leave, Xiao Ze let out a sigh of relief.

"Grandpa Ju, do you think he can make it to the Grand Finals?"

"What a joke. It would already be impressive if he could participate in the Soul Master Tournament." Chrysanthemum Douluo smiled and shook his head.

"But I have a feeling that he'll come," Hu Liena said with a smile.

Chrysanthemum Douluo said nothing.

Xiao Ze headed in the direction Hu Liena had pointed.

Grandpa Xiao followed behind him.

After passing through two forests, Xiao Ze arrived in an area thick with life aura.

At a glance, Xiao Ze spotted quite a lot of Blue Silver Grass.

Where life was abundant, Blue Silver Grass naturally grew in great numbers.

There were also some other Life System Soul Beasts, but none of them were strong.

Grandpa Xiao used his own aura to force them away.

Xiao Ze began to explore slowly.

If he could not find a suitable soul beast, then he would continue with Blue Silver Grass.

In any case, his soul skills had nothing to do with his soul beasts. As long as their age was high enough, that was all that mattered.

More importantly, Xiao Ze wanted to see whether a Soul Bone might drop.

Even if Blue Silver Grass dropped a Soul Bone, it would be of little use to him.

He did not even care for a Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, so what use would a Blue Silver Grass Soul Bone be?

The Soul Bones Xiao Ze wanted most had to be Xiao Wu's.

Instant Movement and Invincible Golden Body—those two soul skills were practically unbeatable.

Xiao Ze was somewhat speechless. A trashy little rabbit actually possessed two such powerful soul skills.

Heaven truly had no eyes.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, Xiao Ze sensed the life Aura growing increasingly dense.

"Xiao Ze, there's a thousand-year soul beast up ahead. It should suit you." Grandpa Xiao's Spiritual Power was not strong enough for him to identify exactly what kind of soul beast it was.

"Alright."

Xiao Ze headed northwest for over a hundred meters.

There, he discovered a tree.

Its trunk was crystalline like jade, while its branches and leaves shimmered with seven-colored flowing light.

"This soul beast is an Eternal Jade Spirit Banyan!" Principal Xiao said excitedly.

"Eternal Jade Spirit Banyan?" Xiao Ze had never learned about it from books.

Knowing that Xiao Ze did not understand, Grandpa Xiao began to explain, "The Eternal Jade Spirit Banyan is a top-tier Life System Soul Beast. It possesses extremely strong combat and healing abilities."

"They are very rare and are generally found in the Mixed Circle. Since Eternal Jade Spirit Banyans heal other soul beasts, most soul beasts do not attack them, allowing them to live for a very long time."

"Their only weakness is that their cultivation grows very slowly."

Xiao Ze nodded. "This one, then."

"Xiao Ze, how about Grandpa handles it? The Eternal Jade Spirit Banyan is quite strong. This one is 1.8 meters tall and over eighteen hundred years old." Grandpa Xiao was a little worried.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Xiao. If I can't handle it, you can step in."

"Alright."

Grandpa Xiao began keeping watch over the surroundings.

The presence of an Eternal Jade Spirit Banyan here meant that other soul beasts knew about this place as well.

He could not let other soul beasts interfere with Xiao Ze.

Xiao Ze summoned Suihua and the other three Spirits.

"Suihua, use Rice Wave Assault. Xi Mang, use Windfall Wheat awn."

Suihua charged toward the Eternal Jade Spirit Banyan, closing some distance before swinging her Suihua Crown and lashing the tree trunk.

With a deafening bang, the Eternal Jade Spirit Banyan awoke.

Its roots tore from the ground, transforming into countless wooden dragons that danced through the air.

Xiao Ze stared in astonishment. Good lord, all this thing's weapons were underground.

The Eternal Jade Spirit Banyan swung its branches, lashing them toward Xiao Ze.

Xi Mang fired a Golden Whirlwind that pierced through many branches, scattering light-scorched wheat seeds along its path.

Just as the branches were about to touch Xiao Ze, the light-scorched wheat seeds erupted in golden light, creating a small-scale explosion.

Rumble—

The explosion swallowed all the branches.

Seeing this, the Earth Potato King covered itself in Starch Armor and stood in front of Xiao Ze.

Yu Jin fired Explosive Corn Bombs, which tracked the Eternal Jade Spirit Banyan.

The Eternal Jade Spirit Banyan flung out Spirit leaves as sharp as blades from its canopy, slicing apart the Explosive Corn Bombs. The corn bombs exploded in midair.

"It really has quite a few tricks."

At that moment, countless translucent Rice Ears grew from the void, and a continuous blue-gold grain rain fell from the sky.

This was Suihua's domain, Thousand Layered Rice Waves.

Grandpa Xiao felt the effects of the domain and was slightly surprised.

"Xiao Ze has more and more tricks up his sleeve." His face was full of gratification.

He had watched Xiao Ze grow every step of the way.

The battle between Suihua and the others and the Eternal Jade Spirit Banyan continued without pause.

The sounds of Rice Ears ripening and bursting rang out one after another without end.

They kept the Eternal Jade Spirit Banyan's branches from getting anywhere near Xiao Ze.

Seeing this, the Earth Potato King charged out as well. Branches lashed against its armor, but it did not dodge at all.

Because part of the damage it absorbed could be converted into a temporary shield.

Although that temporary shield kept shattering, it also kept regenerating.

Suddenly, a row of sharp potato spikes thrust up from beneath the Eternal Jade Spirit Banyan.

They pierced its underside, and green liquid flowed out.
