Slap Disciple Method

After leaving his second disciple's body, Bai Yuan looked back at the great tree. He could now clearly sense the fear in Mu Junwu's heart.

She was afraid—afraid of being caught up in this.

"Junwu, don't worry. After this, your master will definitely give you all a safe environment to cultivate in." Bai Yuan gently stroked the tree before walking into the dim forest.

"System, exchange for a Humanoid Transformation Pill," Bai Yuan said.

"Ding! Exchange successful."

Bai Yuan moved through the pitch-black forest alone.

This was already deep within the Star Dou Great Forest. Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were everywhere, and Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts occasionally appeared as well.

They were powerful Soul Beasts that posed a certain threat even to the current Bai Yuan. Some Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts with powerful bloodlines could rival ordinary Soul Beasts that had cultivated for tens of thousands of years despite only being ten thousand years old.

Bai Yuan proceeded cautiously.

He watched the Soul Beasts that occasionally dashed past him toward the deeper reaches of the Star Dou Great Forest, his gaze flickering.

At last, Bai Yuan fixed his eyes on a white fox. It was a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. It resembled a snow fox, but it was three meters long, with a crescent mark on its forehead.

A Silver Moon Fox!

The Silver Moon Fox was drenched in blood. Its pristine white fur had become filthy, and one of its hind legs was missing, blood continuously dripping from the wound.

Clearly, it was an unlucky creature that had been caught in the battle between a Titled Douluo and a Fierce Beast.

Yet even so, the Silver Moon Fox still fled desperately for its life. But Bai Yuan knew very well that it could not survive.

The Soul Beast world was one where the strong devoured the weak. Even if the Silver Moon Fox escaped this calamity, it was destined to be consumed by other Soul Beasts.

Bai Yuan's figure darted through the forest.

Silently, Bai Yuan circled around at an even faster speed and arrived on the path the Silver Moon Fox had no choice but to take.

Bai Yuan waited quietly amid the canopy, his body concealed by the dense leaves. Through its aura, he could sense that the Ten-Thousand-Year Silver Moon Fox was rapidly approaching.

A faint scent of blood drifted into Bai Yuan's nostrils, a nauseating stench.

Bai Yuan remained motionless, crouching on a tree trunk as he waited in silence.

Time passed. The sounds of the Silver Moon Fox's running grew louder and louder, while the bloody stench lingering at Bai Yuan's nose became overwhelmingly thick.

Suddenly, Bai Yuan formed hand seals with both hands.

"Earth Spirit Array!"

"Wood Spirit Array!"

After becoming an Intermediate Array Master, setting up beginner arrays such as the Earth Spirit Array and Wood Spirit Array was effortless for him and required hardly any preparation time.

A massive pit opened beneath the Ten-Thousand-Year Silver Moon Fox's feet. With nowhere to brace itself, it fell straight in and smashed a large hole into the pit wall.

The Silver Moon Fox was startled. It pushed off with its three legs, trying to leap out.

But at that moment, vines burst from the pit walls.

A vicious gleam flashed in the Silver Moon Fox's eyes. Its front claws swung, and in an instant, the sharp claws severed the vines. However, this caused it to fall back down.

The Silver Moon Fox leaped again, but the opening above abruptly sealed shut. At the same time, more vines grew from the soil and attacked it.

In such a cramped space, the Silver Moon Fox had nowhere to evade. It could only use all its strength to cut through the vines.

But the severed vines piled up inside the hole, making the Silver Moon Fox's range of movement increasingly restricted.

This was a dead end. It had no way to fight its way out.

"Bang!"

After cutting through vine after vine, the Silver Moon Fox rammed desperately into the sealed opening overhead.

Under that enormous force, clumps of earth loosened and fell away. Yet what appeared before the Silver Moon Fox's eyes was layer upon layer of interwoven vines.

A fierce look appeared in the Silver Moon Fox's eyes. The crescent mark on its forehead erupted with intense light, and a crescent slash shot forth, directly cutting through the vines layered three deep inside and out.

Ignoring its exhausted body, the Silver Moon Fox sprang up and escaped before the vines could regrow.

But before it could rejoice, its three limbs were frozen solid, and it immediately lost the ability to move.

Mystic Ice Array!

It was a relatively low-grade array among intermediate arrays. Even so, with Bai Yuan's current cultivation, setting it up without materials was extremely taxing.

If his knowledge of arrays had not already reached the peak of an Intermediate Array Master, he would never have been able to set it up successfully.

But the Mystic Ice Array's effects were excellent. It easily restrained this Soul Beast, which had expended too much energy and suffered severe injuries.

Bai Yuan slowly emerged from the shadows.

The Silver Moon Fox immediately let out a series of low growls.

The sound was both a warning and an expression of its inner fear.

"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Bai Yuan asked.

The Silver Moon Fox continued to growl.

Bai Yuan sighed. "Poor thing. You've cultivated for ten thousand years, yet your Spiritual Intelligence still hasn't fully awakened."

Bai Yuan slowly walked toward the Silver Moon Fox.

The Silver Moon Fox grew even more terrified, its growls becoming more frequent.

But at that moment, a silver flash suddenly streaked over its head. A crescent blade over three meters long shot toward Bai Yuan.

This was a desperate final attack from a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Ordinary Soul Kings would not dare meet it head-on, but Bai Yuan merely raised a hand. Walls of ice appeared out of thin air, blocking the attack before him.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Three ice walls shattered in succession, and the Silver Moon Fox completely lost the strength to resist.

Bai Yuan had no interest in chatting with a Soul Beast whose Spiritual Intelligence had yet to awaken. He grabbed the Silver Moon Fox by the head and fed it a Humanoid Transformation Pill.

"Qiu'er, I hope your great fortune will bless your master's attempt to take in a disciple," Bai Yuan murmured inwardly.

The Silver Moon Fox beside him successfully transformed as well, becoming a handsome man with fox ears and a fox tail. However, he was sprawled on the ground, all four limbs encased in ice.

"What did this despicable human feed me?" the man transformed from the Silver Moon Fox roared.

But in the next moment, the Silver Moon Fox froze in shock.

He could speak?

The man lowered his head and looked at his naked body, feeling as though he were in a dream.

Legend said that only Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts could speak human language, choose to cultivate anew, and assume human form. Yet he had somehow done it now?

"Become my disciple!" Bai Yuan said.

The man blanked out. "Become disciple? Become whose disciple?"

Bai Yuan said, "I saw that you possess outstanding talent. Not only did I heal your injuries, I also helped you completely awaken your Spiritual Intelligence and transform into human form. Shouldn't you Become my disciple?"

The man was stunned again, then sneered. "You want me to Become disciple to a despicable person like you? No chance!"

"Slap!"

Bai Yuan responded with a slap. He did not know whether he had simply gotten used to hitting people this way before, but now, whenever something happened, all it took was a slap.

This was also Bai Yuan's newly invented method for taking in disciples.

The Slap Disciple Method.

The man's body stiffened, then he angrily shouted, "Despicable human, I'll fight you!"

"Slap!"

"Despicable human, if you have the guts, let me go."

"Slap!"

"Despicable human..."

"Slap!"

"Master, Master, I was wrong. I was wrong." The man's handsome face had swollen red, making him look just like a pig-headed monster.

Bai Yuan raised a brow. "You aren't sincere enough."

"Slap!"

"Master, Master, I truly mean it."

"Slap!"

"Master, Master, I really do mean it!"

"Slap!"
