Taming Sky Dream Ice Silkworm

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice rang out in Xu Zihuang's Sea of Consciousness again, his tone somewhat dry.

"What was that just now?"

"Didn't you see it all?" Xu Zihuang replied irritably. If not for Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, he would never have encountered such danger.

Fortunately, the outcome had been good.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm did not get angry. Instead, he said smugly, "Doesn't that prove I have good taste? How could an ordinary person possibly earn my favor? Hehe, all right, Little Zihuang, hurry and find somewhere safe. I'm going to become your Third Soul Ring—the first Wisdom Soul Ring in the history of Douluo Continent."

Xu Zihuang was utterly speechless before the shameless Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Born into the Sun Moon Empire royalty, he had never met someone like this in all his life.

His gaze returned to the front. By now, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse had long since been completely devoured by deep-purple flames. Yet the strange black pearl Xu Zihuang had expected did not appear.

Could it be that such a black pearl could only condense once a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger reached ten-thousand-year Cultivation?

He did not feel much disappointment. What was gained was fortune; what was lost was fate.

Some things could not be forced.

Meanwhile, seeing that Xu Zihuang was still so indifferent, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm immediately became somewhat frantic.

"Do you know how powerful my million-year Soul Ring is?! It can grant you a full four soul skills! And my Origin Power can support your future ten Soul Rings in advancing to the Hundred-Thousand-Year level. Oh, right, I can also give you an Ice Attribute Martial Soul. But since you already have Twin Martial Souls, it seems you won't need that. Twin Martial Souls place extremely high demands on a soul master's physique, and the two attributes of your Second Martial Soul are already far too domineering. Adding a completely different Ice Attribute Martial Soul would only create problems."

Xu Zihuang silently listened to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's explanation.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was indeed right about the issue of gaining another Ice Attribute Martial Soul. Twin Martial Souls were already a heaven-given advantage, and his talent was good enough as it was.

Human greed knew no bounds.

"I know, I know. Because you're a 'powerful' million-year Soul Beast," Xu Zihuang perfunctorily replied.

"But I don't want you to become my Third Soul Ring."

"Hehe, that's more like it. Stick with me, and I'll make sure you have a future." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice was full of pride, but upon hearing Xu Zihuang's next sentence, he immediately felt terrible.

"What did you say?! You actually dare look down on me?!"

"What I mean is, I'm planning to absorb that Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Soul Ring now. Since you were able to reside in my Sea of Consciousness without becoming my Soul Ring, then when I break through a bottleneck in the future, you can become my Wisdom Soul Ring then. You should know better than I do how powerful this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Soul Ring is," Xu Zihuang hurriedly continued.

He did not want Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to arbitrarily become his Third Soul Ring and cause him to waste the incomparably rare Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Soul Ring before him.

Hearing this, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's tone softened considerably.

"Well, that is possible. Hehe, but although your physique is strong, Little Zihuang, that bastard's Soul Ring energy is far too domineering. It won't be easy to absorb."

He was filled with resentment toward the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that had nearly devoured him.

Fine. You're still useful for now.

Hearing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm constantly address him that way, Xu Zihuang raised an eyebrow. Still, he ultimately did not flare up, instead following along with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's words.

"Aren't you a powerful million-year Soul Beast? Can't you help me fuse with it?"

"Hehe, of course I can. Little Zihuang, just absorb it without worry later. I've got everything under control." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's vanity seemed greatly satisfied.

Xu Zihuang chuckled and slowly rose to his feet, walking over to the Soul Ring left behind by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Although Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had lived for over a million years, having never come into contact with the human world, his thoughts were actually quite simple.

Wouldn't it be easy for Xu Zihuang to manipulate him?

Just then, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm suddenly spoke again. "Zihuang. If you want to absorb that guy's Soul Ring, you'll definitely have to do it here in the Star Dou Great Forest. You can find my previous husk—it can help conceal your aura."

In his excellent mood, he no longer seemed hung up on the word "little."

"At least you're somewhat useful." Xu Zihuang silently grumbled as he adjusted his condition and began preparing to fuse with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Soul Ring.

Star Dou Great Forest, Core Zone.

The clear little lake made the air even more humid. The lake's surface reflected the towering trees surrounding it, while sunlight shone down, making everything glitter and sparkle in the water's reflection.

A man in a black robe stood quietly by the lake.

The man's features were resolute and cold. His long black hair hung behind him, reaching all the way to his heels—not an inch more, not an inch less.

Amid that full head of black hair, two strands of golden hair were especially conspicuous, hanging down in front of him.

At some point, another slender middle-aged man appeared behind the man in black.

The middle-aged man was not especially handsome. His complexion was somewhat bluish, and even his eyes were a turquoise color, an unsettling shade of green. Deep within them shone an eerie, bewitching light. His dark-green robe fluttered without wind, slowly drifting behind him, as did his long hair of the same color. Only, his hair was somewhat too long, extending more than ten meters behind him.

"Di Tian, the Plant-type Soul Beasts under my control sensed the aura of that Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the Outer Court of the Star Dou Great Forest."

The man in black was the Golden Eyed Black Dragon King, ranked first among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts—Beast God Ditian.

The one who had spoken was Myriad Monster King, likewise one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts.

Di Tian did not turn around, and his cold, stern expression did not change in the slightest.

"Who was assigned to deal with that Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?"

"Xiong Jun." Myriad Monster King opened his mouth. If the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had not posed such a great threat, he would not have wanted to offend the always arrogant and overbearing Xiong Jun over this matter.

After all, that fellow had muscles for brains. Who knew if he might hold a grudge against him? Though his intentions were entirely for the sake of the many Soul Beasts within the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Xiong Jun again?" Di Tian's expression turned slightly cold.

He still acknowledged Xiong Jun's strength. Even if that Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had not died, it had at least suffered severe injuries.

But he greatly disliked Xiong Jun's methods.

That fellow had been far too restless lately. If not for his formidable combat strength, Di Tian would never have tolerated him challenging his authority time and time again.

Ah, the favorites are increasing too slowly. It hurts. I should probably explain why the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was severely injured, so no one thinks the protagonist's plot armor is too ridiculous, with Soul Rings lining up to be handed to him. Haha.
