The twin brothers hid behind the bushes, watching Teacher Xiong fight and letting out one exclamation of amazement after another.
Watching Teacher Xiong in action, Su Yun also applauded the teacher's fighting prowess in his heart.
It was obvious at a glance.
Teacher Xiong must have gone through countless trials in the Soul Beast Forest.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so adept at dealing with the Earth Dragon Python.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Su Yun furrowed his brows.
He sensed something unusual.
However,
he hadn't noticed it himself.
Instead, the Blue Silver Emperor in his hand—or rather, the Blue Silver Emperor itself—had sensed something.
"Little Su Yun, the Blue Silver Grass nearby is sending you a warning."
"There's danger nearby!"
Ah Yin's voice rang out in his mind.
Su Yun's eyes immediately sharpened, and he began watching his surroundings warily.
As more and more unusual signals came from the Blue Silver Emperor in his hand, Su Yun's gaze suddenly locked onto something!
He saw an Earth Dragon Python had somehow crept up behind Teacher Xiong without anyone noticing!
Danger!
"Teacher! Watch your back!"
Su Yun roared and dashed forward at the same time!
Teacher Xiong had been fighting an Earth Dragon Python. At Su Yun's shout, he instinctively shifted to one side.
Whoosh!
An Earth Dragon Python slammed hard into the spot where he had just been standing!
The Earth Dragon Python's head was incredibly hard!
A blow like that from behind would leave anyone bedridden for half a month, if it didn't kill them!
Teacher Xiong broke out in a cold sweat. He had no time to think.
A fierce glint appeared in his eyes as he seized the Earth Dragon Python with both hands.
"Second Soul Skill, Power to Move Mountains!"
The second yellow Hundred-Year Soul Ring behind Teacher Xiong lit up instantly.
Boundless Soul Power gathered in his hands, and a terrifying force struck the middle of the Earth Dragon Python's body.
A tremendous screech burst from the Earth Dragon Python's mouth!
Whoosh!
But at that very moment, the other Earth Dragon Python that had been fighting Teacher Xiong seized the opening.
It lunged at him from the side.
Its maw gaped wide, revealing rows of white teeth.
At the same time,
its massive body coiled, ready to crush Teacher Xiong into a lump of flesh!
Once trapped in an Earth Dragon Python's coils, even a strength-type Soul Grandmaster like Teacher Xiong would struggle to escape!
"Damn!"
Teacher Xiong noticed the Earth Dragon Python approaching, but it was already too late.
Was he really going to die here?
"Whoosh!"
However,
just as Teacher Xiong realized the danger, a spear flashed into view from outside his field of vision and shot straight at the Earth Dragon Python charging toward him!
"Teacher Xiong, I'll hold it off! Hurry and finish off that Earth Dragon Python!"
Su Yun called out as he stepped lightly on the breeze.
Tightening his grip on the spear, he took advantage of the opening after striking the Earth Dragon Python in the eye and swung another vicious blow at its head!
"Bang!"
The Earth Dragon Python was strong, but it couldn't react in time to Su Yun's incredibly fast strike.
The powerful blow sent its body lurching sideways once more
.
This sent its fury soaring to the limit!
However,
before it could strike back, a dark figure suddenly appeared in front of it.
"You beast! So you're the one who ambushed me!"
Teacher Xiong's first Soul Skill!
Bear Stomp!
It not only increased his strength, but also gave him a brief burst of speed!
"Get down!"
Teacher Xiong brought his hand down in a fierce chop, instantly beating the Earth Dragon Python half to death and knocking it to the ground!
With Su Yun's help, Teacher Xiong had no trouble subduing both Earth Dragon Pythons.
The twin brothers thanked Su Yun.
Then each of them took a dagger and went to finish off the beasts before beginning to absorb their Soul Rings.
"Su Yun, I really have to thank you for that."
"If it weren't for you, old Bear here would've almost lost his life."
Teacher Xiong patted Su Yun on the shoulder and thanked him sincerely.
"Looks like I was wrong about you. You're pretty good with a spear."
He had initially thought that Su Yun bringing a spear into the Soul Hunting Forest was pointless.
Now he saw that
Su Yun's supposedly "pointless" decision had saved his life.
"I just got lucky."
Glancing at the approaching night, Su Yun replied modestly, "But tomorrow, I'll have to rely on you and the others to help me find a Soul Beast."
"Haha, of course."
"Don't worry. With me around, I'll find you the best Hundred-Year Soul Beast."
"By the way, have you decided what kind of Soul Beast you want?"
Teacher Xiong asked suddenly.
Su Yun smiled faintly.
Of course he had already decided.
The Soul Beast he wanted was a rare plant-type Soul Beast hidden deep within the Soul Beast Forest—
the Lazy Tree.
The Lazy Tree.
Just as its name suggested... it was lazy.
Well, actually, it was called the Lazy Tree because it grew very slowly.
By the time the twin brothers had finished absorbing their Soul Rings, night had fallen.
Based on past experience, many powerful Soul Beasts would awaken at night in the Soul Hunting Forest and go out to hunt.
