Transformation! Extreme Wind

The group hurried over and respectfully bowed to Xuan Zi.

"Elder Xuan."

"Mm." Xuan Zi casually waved a hand and looked at the dying Dark Demon Evil God Tiger before him.

"I never expected another Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to appear in the Star Dou Great Forest. With cultivation exceeding thirty thousand years, who knew how many Soul Masters and soul beasts it had devoured?" Xuan Zi remarked as he took a bite from the greasy chicken leg in his hand.

"Yeah! Who knew how many Soul Masters it devoured..." Wu Xuan's voice choked up. Unable to contain the grief and fury in his heart any longer, he lost control of his emotions, dropped to his knees, and burst into tears.

Though he retained memories of his Previous Life, Wu Xuan had long since accepted his parents in this life. Now that the culprit had been brought to justice, no matter how hard he tried to restrain himself, he could not stop those deeply buried emotions from erupting.

"Junior Wu?" Zhang Lexuan reacted quickly, reaching out to support Wu Xuan's body as it began to slump. Her eyes were filled with confusion and concern.

"Wu Xuan."

"Junior Brother."

Wu Ming and Chu Qingtian were about to step forward, but Xuan Zi raised a hand to stop them.

Wu Xuan leaned against Zhang Lexuan's shoulder and cried for a long time.

Xuan Zi and the others simply watched in silence until Wu Xuan finally stood back up, his eyes bloodshot.

His left hand curled into a claw, and the dazzling silver Soul Breaking Spear appeared in his grasp. "Senior Disciple Sister! Elder Xuan! I want to kill this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger myself."

Xuan Zi set down his wine gourd and looked at Wu Xuan. "That is up to you, but can you tell this old man why you lost control of your emotions? With my eye for people, you should be a child who remains absolutely rational under any circumstances."

Wu Xuan took a deep breath, his voice still slightly choked. "When I was nine, my Soul Power broke through Rank Twenty. Accompanied by my parents, I went to the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for a Soul Ring. Everything went smoothly along the way, but when we were leaving, we encountered an Evil Soul Master at the Soul Sage rank. After a fierce battle, the Evil Soul Master could not harm my parents in the slightest. We thought the battle would end there, but that beast suddenly appeared and killed the Evil Soul Master first. My parents also died protecting me."

"From that day on, I swore that I would slaughter every Evil Soul Master in the world and personally kill the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to avenge my parents."

Xuan Zi fell silent for a long while before finally sighing. "Another pitiful child. Sigh."

"Junior Wu..." Zhang Lexuan's eyes reddened, and tears glimmered within them. At that moment, her mood was incredibly low. She did not know whether she was sympathizing with Wu Xuan's plight or feeling a measure of shared sorrow.

Wu Ming and Chu Qingtian beside her also wore furious expressions.

At Xuan Zi's signal, Wu Xuan slowly approached the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. The Soul Breaking Spear in his left hand suddenly rose, then came crashing down. With one thrust, it pierced straight through the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's iron-hard skull.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's tightly shut eyes snapped open, wide as bronze bells, and its body convulsed violently.

Wu Xuan snorted coldly and twisted the Soul Breaking Spear with force. The tiger's wide-open eyes instantly dimmed, losing all vitality.

A black Soul Ring then quietly rose from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse.

At every stage of ten thousand, thirty thousand, fifty thousand, seventy thousand, and hundred thousand years of cultivation, a soul beast's strength underwent a distinct leap.

As a first-tier Super Soul Beast, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had only around thirty thousand years of cultivation, yet the aura radiating from its Soul Ring was even more terrifying than that of a seventy-thousand-year Soul Ring.

"Come to think of it, this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger would suit your Wind Element Martial Soul as a Soul Ring. It is just that its age is a little too high." Xuan Zi regretfully said as he bit into the chicken leg in his hand.

Wu Xuan stepped forward, his voice low. "Elder Xuan, let me try. I am confident."

Xuan Zi raised his brows and snapped, "What confidence do you have? Although your second Martial Soul is a Spirit Attribute Martial Soul and you have absorbed a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring before, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is no ordinary soul beast. Even if your Spiritual Power can withstand its spiritual shock, your body will never endure the Soul Ring tempering."

Even Zhang Lexuan, who was usually gentle, turned serious. "Junior Wu, do not force yourself. We will definitely find the most suitable Soul Ring for you on this trip. There is no need to rush."

"Junior Brother, Elder Xuan and Senior Disciple Sister are right." Wu Ming and Chu Qingtian echoed her. During their brief time together, they had come to genuinely acknowledge Wu Xuan.

"Elder Xuan, to be honest, I once absorbed a high-quality Soul Bone passed down by my ancestors." Wu Xuan pretended to hesitate for a moment before finally speaking.

"A Soul Bone? What attribute? Which part? How many years?" Xuan Zi fired off three questions in a row.

"It is a left arm bone that enhances physical strength, with an age of around eighty thousand years." After hesitating briefly, Wu Xuan lied.

"Eighty thousand years! Hahaha, it seems your Tang Sect's Breaking Clan still has some foundation after all! Hahaha!" Xuan Zi laughed heartily as he looked at Wu Xuan.

"Elder Xuan, there is something you said wrong." Wu Xuan said in a low voice.

"Oh? What was that?"

"I am an heir of the Breaking Clan, but I am not a member of the Tang Sect. This inherited Soul Bone has nothing to do with either the Breaking Clan or the Tang Sect, because it was passed down through my father's family." Wu Xuan spoke each word with utmost seriousness.

"Haha! As you wish! As you wish! Shrek is an academy, and only an academy. We do not concern ourselves with your family's private matters. If you want to absorb the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Soul Ring, go ahead. This old man will guard you." Xuan Zi said, taking out another chicken leg and waving his hand.

"Thank you, Elder Xuan!" Wu Xuan nodded. With his great vengeance finally avenged, his mood was no longer as gloomy as before. After all, people had to look ahead; they could not live in the past forever.

Wu Xuan sat cross-legged and began circulating the cultivation method of the Enlightenment Scripture, drawing in the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Soul Ring before him.

But in that instant, his Sea of Consciousness shook violently, and the Soul Power within his body surged fiercely.

As the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's immense Soul Power entered him, it intertwined with the Soul Power of Wu Xuan's Enlightenment Scripture. The two different kinds of Soul Power merged, boiling and rushing violently at that moment, causing intense swelling pain in Wu Xuan's meridians.

Wu Xuan steadied his mind, controlling his Sea of Consciousness to accept the massive Spiritual Power that was crazily crashing into it while maintaining the gradual fusion and transformation of the Soul Power within his meridians.

Xuan Zi and the others watched Wu Xuan cautiously at his side. Two hours passed. Though black light continuously flickered around Wu Xuan's body, his expression remained calm.

There was no longer any suspense in the subsequent fusion process. After enduring the initial stage of pain, everything proceeded as naturally as water flowing into a channel.

As the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's origin power was released, the ages of Wu Xuan's second and third Soul Rings soared, quickly reaching nine thousand years.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's fourth Soul Ring also successfully reached forty-five thousand years.

No one knew how much time passed outside.

When Wu Xuan opened his eyes again, he sprang to his feet with a kip-up. After stretching lazily, he immediately felt a powerful sense of strength filling his entire body. His body had become more flexible, and his breakthrough in Soul Power had once more brought a tremendous leap in his overall strength.

Rank Forty-Six Soul Power?

After the Ice Empress sacrificed herself and he obtained a Four Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring Soul Bone, the accumulated Soul Power had been unable to advance without another Soul Ring. He had not expected this breakthrough to raise his Soul Power by six ranks at once. It greatly surprised Wu Xuan. However, he did not dare reveal it. He immediately circulated the Enlightenment Scripture to conceal his Soul Power aura, maintaining an outward appearance of Rank Forty-One.

With a thought, four Soul Rings—yellow, purple, purple, black—rose beneath his feet. A violent hurricane instantly swept across the entire area. The moment the hurricane enveloped them, Xuan Zi and the other four felt as though time itself had slowed.

"Th-this is Extreme Wind?!" Xuan Zi stared blankly as the chicken leg he had just bitten into slipped from his hand and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Extreme Wind?!" Zhang Lexuan and the other two cried out in unison.

"Sigh! It still transformed into Extreme Wind after all!" Wu Xuan was deeply annoyed. Back when he broke through Rank Thirty, under the wondrous effects of the Enlightenment Scripture, his near-ultimate Wind Element Martial Soul had almost transformed, but he had suppressed it with all his strength.

He had never expected it to transform so suddenly this time, catching him completely unprepared.
