Lin Xiao knew that Old Medicine, who had only awakened after forty years in Douluo, was probably in even worse shape now than he had been when he first met Xiao Yan.
If they disturbed the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Lin Xiao's plans might come to nothing.
"Teacher, in your current condition, how much can you do?"
Lin Xiao spoke slowly. He also wanted to see just how formidable Old Medicine was now.
"Heh, if I risk falling into a deep, unconscious slumber, I can unleash the strength of a One-Star Dou Zong."
"But if I do that, there's no telling when I'll wake again."
"Of course, your body would also have to withstand my power. If it can't, all of that is meaningless."
"Without possessing you, I can't unleash nearly as much strength. My power would be greatly reduced."
Old Medicine spoke slowly, and Lin Xiao couldn't help marveling. As expected of Old Medicine. His strength really was something else.
Lin Xiao nodded in understanding. "Teacher, what can I do now to help you recover?"
"For now? I can absorb some of the Soul Power you produce while cultivating and convert it into battle energy to recover. It's slow, but it does help."
"If you had medicinal pills that could restore the soul, that would be ideal."
Old Medicine spoke leisurely, not the least bit anxious.
Medicinal pills that could repair the soul? There might not be any pills, but what about immortal herbs?
There were immortal herbs in Douluo. Lin Xiao remembered that Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew was an immortal herb that could strengthen Spirit Power, wasn't it?
At this point in time, Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew should be at the hundred-thousand-year level, right? And there's also the Sacred Soul Grass. That can repair the soul too.
A single stalk should restore more than half of his strength, probably.
Besides, with Teacher here, refining it into a medicinal pill would make it even more effective, taking it a step further.
Helping his teacher restore his Soul Power shouldn't be difficult.
"Little fellow, have you thought of something?"
When Lin Xiao remained silent for a long while, Old Medicine's voice rang out again.
"I thought of an immortal herb. It should be able to greatly enhance your Soul Power, Teacher."
"I just don't have the strength to get it right now."
Lin Xiao explained his idea.
"Heh, no rush, no rush. For now, focus on cultivating."
"Once you've made some progress, there's no reason we master and disciple can't venture out and give it a try."
Old Medicine had a healthy outlook. Forty years had already passed-what did a little longer matter?
There was no rush, no rush!
Lin Xiao smiled faintly. That could work too.
"Little fellow, someone's coming."
Old Medicine's voice rang out again.
Lin Xiao pulled some thick branches over to conceal himself.
Before long, Huo Yuhao came hurrying along, following the signs.
Suddenly, a strange figure darted out.
Lin Xiao saw it clearly. The figure moved quickly and rather strangely. He recognized it at once-the true Beast God that had nearly slain a god: the Wind Baboon!
Huo Yuhao swiftly drew his White Tiger Dagger and began fighting the Wind Baboon.
"Teacher, I have a feeling this Child of Destiny's first opportunity is about to appear."
"If an opportunity does appear in a moment, could you make a move?"
Right now, Old Medicine was the only one with Lin Xiao who could attract Electrolux. Lin Xiao could only rely on his teacher to act.
"Heh, that suits me just fine."
"Don't worry. If an opportunity appears and we can take it, we'll take it."
A smile appeared on Old Medicine's face, and he stood ready to act at any moment.
Hearing that, Lin Xiao relaxed. In a moment, he would snatch Electrolux away.
Just as in the original story, Huo Yuhao was no match for the Wind Baboon. But just as the Wind Baboon was about to throw him away, its movements suddenly paused.
Huo Yuhao fell to the ground as well. When he looked at the Wind Baboon again, it was already dead.
As Huo Yuhao looked at the white Soul Ring, he smiled. He had actually won.
Just as Huo Yuhao was about to pass out from the pain, an excited, delighted voice appeared in his mind.
Meanwhile, outside, Old Medicine also sensed the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's presence. "What terrifying Spirit Power. This is the first time I've encountered Spirit Power this strong since coming to this world."
As Old Medicine spoke, light began to shine from Huo Yuhao's body, and invisible Spirit Power enveloped him in an instant.
In a flash, thunder erupted across the perfectly clear sky, and a gray wisp of energy descended from above.
"Interesting. Very interesting indeed."
Old Medicine's figure floated out of the ring in an instant, leaving Lin Xiao staring blankly.
His terrifying Soul Power poured out, forming a vast, ancient-looking hand that swiftly enveloped the gray wisp.
Old Medicine drew the gray wisp into the plain, ancient Black Ring where he resided.
Instantly, an aged voice filled with immense authority resounded throughout the ring. "With the sun and moon in my grasp, I pluck the stars; none in this world can compare to me. To think that a man such as I would still have a tiny fragment of his soul remaining."
"Heh, 'none in this world can compare to me'? How arrogant. How unrestrained!"
Old Medicine snorted disdainfully. This remnant soul of Electrolux still fell a little short compared with him.
At his peak, Old Medicine was not someone Electrolux could compare to.
Even now, Old Medicine's soul was stronger than Electrolux's.
Electrolux transformed into a mass of energy and settled within the ring.
Outside, Lin Xiao also heard the voice coming from the ring.
He knew they had succeeded. Electrolux was his now.
"Teacher, did you succeed? Did you obtain some kind of opportunity?"
Lin Xiao asked, pretending he knew nothing.
"Heh, I succeeded."
"Little fellow, before long, you'll have another teacher."
Old Medicine spoke with a smile. Once he realized that Electrolux was a remnant soul, he understood what this opportunity would have meant for that extraordinarily fortunate little fellow.
"Another teacher? Teacher, could that opportunity be some powerful expert?"
Lin Xiao continued asking.
"It's the remnant soul of a powerful expert. He's still asleep."
"Little fellow, you'll have to rely on yourself for a while."
"I need to rest and awaken that remnant soul while I'm at it."
"Cultivate Eight Extremes Collapse and the Flame Mantra diligently. The next time we meet, don't disappoint your teacher."
Old Medicine left him those instructions. His move just now had consumed some Soul Power, so he needed to recuperate properly.
Electrolux also needed to be awakened. For now, Lin Xiao could only rely on himself.
"Don't worry, Teacher," Lin Xiao promised.
After that, no more sound came from Old Medicine.
Lin Xiao leaped over to Huo Yuhao's side and began examining him.
Before long, Tang Ya and Bei Bei arrived as well.
"Oh, it's you, little fellow!"
The moment Tang Ya saw Lin Xiao, a smile appeared on her face, and she hurried over cheerfully.
But when she saw Huo Yuhao lying nearby, concern immediately took over.
"Yuhao, Yuhao, what's wrong?"
"Bei Bei, hurry! Yuhao has fainted!"
Tang Ya called to Bei Bei behind her.
