Warning! A Fifty-Thousand-Year Azure Jade Silkworm King Discovered!

Whoosh!

Xiao Tian leaped onto Sword Fifteen's blade and directly poured half of his Soul Power into it. Then something astonishing happened—Fifteen grew larger!

The entire sword body instantly expanded three or four times over!

"Fifteen!"

With a thought, Xiao Tian had Fifteen adjust to a suitable size. As for the excess Soul Power, it was stored within Fifteen's blade, serving as fuel for Sword Flight.

Boom!

The next moment, under Xiao Wu's shocked gaze, Xiao Tian actually took flight. He shot straight into the air, coolly circled around once, then swiftly landed.

"S-So cool!"

A different kind of light shone in Xiao Wu's eyes. Compared to Xiao Tian's Sword Flight, she felt like she had merely been playing house earlier.

After landing, Xiao Tian put Fifteen away and nodded in satisfaction. He had not expected his first attempt to succeed. Pretty nice!

While testing Sword Flight just now, he had also discovered something: he could inject part of his Soul Power into Fifteen as fuel for Fifteen to move freely.

This discovery delighted Xiao Tian immensely. He just did not know how much Soul Power Fifteen itself could store. Did that not mean he had an extra source of Soul Power Replenishment?

It was similar to the effect of the Milk Bottle Soul Tool from Soul Land 2.

Once an enemy believed his Soul Power had been depleted, he could have Fifteen pretend to vanish, wait for the right opportunity, then suddenly appear and deal the enemy a fatal blow!

After hearing Xiao Wu's praise, Xiao Tian smiled. "So, do you want me to take you flying?"

Xiao Wu hesitated. "We won't fall, right?"

Xiao Wu was a little afraid that Xiao Tian's Soul Power would run out halfway through. Would that not mean they could only die together?

That was somewhat abnormal.

"Hahaha, it's fine. We're just trying it out a little."

Before long, night fell again. While Xiao Wu was asleep, Xiao Tian quietly slipped out of the room.

Mainly, he and Xiao Wu had been spending quite a bit of time together lately, but it was not easy for him to explain why he cultivated so quickly. Besides, they had only known each other for a few days, so Xiao Tian did not think there was any need to explain.

Leaving in the middle of the night would avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

After leaving the city, Xiao Tian headed in the direction opposite to the Soul Hunting Forest where Yu Xiaogang and the others had gone.

Along the way, Xiao Tian ran while charging Fifteen. He wanted to see just how much Soul Power Fifteen could withstand.

Before long, Fifteen's blade began trembling intensely, as though it were saying, I'm full, really full! If you put in any more, I'll overflow! I really can't eat anymore!

Xiao Tian calculated silently. Not bad. At present, Fifteen could store nearly all of his level-ten Soul Power. Once he obtained a Spirit Ring and all his attributes improved, it should be able to store even more.

Gradually, after traveling for several hours, the sky brightened, and Xiao Tian caught sight of the Soul Hunting Forest in the distance.

However, he did not rush in. Instead, he found a small teahouse nearby, ordered some tea, and recovered his condition.

This was his first time coming into contact with Spirit Beasts. Although he had seen plenty in his previous life, it had all been theoretical knowledge, nothing practical. He could only hope he would not make any mistakes later.

Meanwhile, in Dorm Seven at Notting Academy.

Xiao Wu rubbed her eyes and looked at the bed beside hers.

Hm? Where had Xiao Tian gone? Had he secretly gone off to cultivate without her?

What a tryhard!

He had not even woken her up!

Xiao Wu immediately got a little angry. She quickly washed up and went to the place where he usually practiced his sword, only to find it completely empty.

Xiao Wu: ???

Fine, fine, fine. Xiao Wu figured Xiao Tian had even changed his cultivation spot now. When she returned tonight, she would definitely teach him a lesson.

However, this was also an opportunity for her. She could use this chance to find a relatively secluded place and condense her first Spirit Ring.

After resting for a while, Xiao Tian headed directly to the outskirts of the Soul Hunting Forest.

With his current strength, he could probably only wander around the outer area.

He had practiced swordsmanship ever since he could remember, so his physique was quite good by now. He felt that his first Spirit Ring should be able to approach the thousand-year limit.

As for a Thousand Year one, he did not dare to hope for that. There was a qualitative difference between Hundred Year and Thousand Year Spirit Beasts, and he did not think he could defeat a Thousand Year Spirit Beast unless he had enough Soul Power to sustain himself!

Along the way, Xiao Tian came across a large bamboo forest. It was the plant-type Spirit Beast that Yu Xiaogang had first encountered with Tang San in the original story—a ten-year Spirit Beast, the Lonely Bamboo.

Xiao Tian could not help but smile faintly. Tang San was Tang Hao's son. If Yu Xiaogang had Tang San absorb the Spirit Ring of such a worthless Spirit Beast as his first Spirit Ring, Yu Xiaogang probably did not want to live anymore.

The Lonely Bamboo had no offensive ability whatsoever. The only attribute it could provide was a slight increase in toughness.

If Xiao Tian absorbed it, it should increase Sword Fifteen's toughness, but there was simply no need for it!

Without a second thought, Xiao Tian passed it by. For Spirit Beasts that could increase Soul Power, he set his sights directly on silkworm-type Spirit Beasts and certain plant-type Spirit Beasts with particularly vigorous vitality.

The former had relatively low offensive power. Absorbing the latter could not only increase Soul Power, but also make Fifteen tougher.

However, he could not say what kind of Spirit Skill he would actually obtain. Spirit Skills were far too random, especially with the latter!

Warning! Warning! Host, please evacuate immediately. Within a five-hundred-meter radius, there is a fifty-thousand-year Azure Wood Silkworm King. Although it has little offensive power, it is not something a tiny Soul Scholar like you can afford to provoke!

Xiao Tian:???

Xiao Tian immediately looked around warily. Finding nothing unusual, he did not relax.

Instead, he stood rooted to the spot as Sword Intent surged from his body, continuously spreading outward with Xiao Tian at its center!

This was one way he applied his own Sword Intent.

Sword Intent Perception!

Sword Intent was like an extension of his own limbs. By thinning it out and releasing it, Xiao Tian could vaguely detect what was happening within a certain range.

However, this move consumed Mental Power. After only a few seconds, his face gradually turned pale.

Just as he was about to reach his limit, he suddenly sensed movement in the grass four hundred meters away at three o'clock!

There seemed to be something rather plump lying motionless in that patch of grass?

Huff, huff, huff~

Cold sweat streamed down Xiao Tian's face. This skill really did not suit him right now. If he got the chance later, he definitely needed to find a skull that could boost his Mental Power!

After calming himself slightly, Xiao Tian held his sword in his right hand and slowly approached in that direction!

When he was still five meters away, he finally saw the so-called Azure Jade Silkworm King.

Its body was emerald green, clinging to the grass like a chameleon, with faint wood-like patterns running across it.

Xiao Tian counted carefully. There were exactly ten patterns, which meant the Azure Jade Silkworm before him was a thousand-year soul beast!

This damn system was having another fit. Where the hell was there an Azure Jade Silkworm King?!
