System: Host Has the Makings of a Sword God!

Xiao Tian did not rush forward. Instead, he pondered carefully for a moment. Silkworm-type soul beasts generally did not have much offensive power.

A typical example was the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Although he possessed both spiritual and ice attributes, his race was still weak in combat and only fit to serve as food for other soul beasts.

The Azure Jade Silkworm was even more so. It possessed relatively abundant vitality, was not very aggressive, and contained a large amount of Soul Power. It was quite suitable to become his first Spirit Ring.

But the Azure Jade Silkworm before him was clearly only a thousand-year soul beast. Why did the system say it was a fifty-thousand-year Azure Jade Silkworm King?

Considering the system's ridiculous nature from before, no matter how stupid he was, he could understand that this system had most likely logged in early!

In other words, the system had bound itself to him in advance—at least several thousand years early, perhaps even ten thousand years or more!

Xiao Tian was no fool. Judging from the system's warnings to be wary of Tang San, Xiao Wu, Tang Hao, and the others, as well as the prefixes it used for them, his guess was very likely correct!

Of course, he still lacked samples to verify it. If things really were as he said, then he might need to make a trip to Holy Soul Village and Shrek Academy.

If he had guessed right, the system would definitely give corresponding warnings then. He was also beginning to understand the system's habits: as long as he did something that exceeded its expectations, he should be able to trigger a Critical Reward.

He could tell from how he had defeated Tang San and Xiao Wu, shocking the system and earning a reward.

Then, Xiao Tian turned his gaze toward the Azure Jade Silkworm before him, his expression strange. Could this tiny Azure Jade Silkworm really grow into an Azure Jade Silkworm King in the future?

And this was merely the small Soul Hunting Forest near Notting City. There probably was not even a Ten Thousand Year soul beast here!

Still, it was not impossible. After all, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was a living example. He had slept his way to a million years of cultivation and was far more formidable than the one before him. Every soul beast had its own opportunities.

But so what?

Unfortunately, this Azure Jade Silkworm had encountered him. That was an opportunity belonging to him, and he could not let it slip away!

It was just a thousand-year Spirit Ring. With his current physical condition, he should be able to endure it if he gritted his teeth!

Besides, silkworm-type soul beasts did not have high offensive power, so the Spirit Rings they produced exerted relatively less pressure on Soul Masters.

If it had been any other thousand-year soul beast, Xiao Tian would have turned around and left.

"Sword Control Technique!"

Endless Sword Intent erupted from Xiao Tian's body. He swung Fifteen in his right hand fiercely toward the Azure Jade Silkworm. Fifteen trembled, letting out a crisp sword cry, as several Sword Shadows struck the Azure Jade Silkworm at extreme speed.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Amid the shriek of tearing wind and the spray of blood from the Azure Jade Silkworm, Xiao Tian ended the battle in an instant.

After all, it was a thousand-year soul beast. Xiao Tian did not dare let his guard down, immediately pushing his strength to the limit. He sought to subdue it in one strike—to kill it in one strike!

Huff, huff, huff...

Xiao Tian could not help taking several heavy breaths. He felt a stabbing pain in his head, and his mind was hazy.

"Fifteen, go up and give it a few more strikes!"

Although the Azure Jade Silkworm appeared dead, what if it was not?

Xiao Tian felt it was still necessary to give it a few more strikes. There was nothing wrong with being cautious.

But in the next moment, the system's shocked voice exploded in Xiao Tian's mind, and he knew there was no need to finish it off.

Holy shit, Host, you're awesome! As expected, This System did not misjudge you! Under This System's guidance, Host actually killed a fifty-thousand-year Azure Jade Silkworm King as a Soul Scholar! The system is deeply shocked. Host truly has the makings of a Sword God!

Xiao Tian was speechless. Why did those words sound so familiar?

My son Wang Teng has the bearing of a great emperor?

But in the end, Wang Teng got jinxed to death, didn't he?

Xiao Tian did not want to hear those words at all. They felt like they would affect his luck.

Ding! Because Host has once again shocked This System, a Critical Reward has been triggered: Milk Bottle Soul Tool (Upgradeable), Soldier Secret (Douluo Version).

Milk Bottle Soul Tool (Upgradeable): The amount of Soul Power it can provide depends on Host's own level. Its quality improves as Host's strength rises. It can store up to Host's current total amount of Soul Power.

Soldier Secret (Douluo Version): Can control all weapons. As Host's proficiency and level increase, it can control any external object, even treating the opponent as a weapon to control!

Holy shit!

The system was awesome!

This was seriously incredible!

You really were my dear old dad!

There was no need to mention the Milk Bottle Soul Tool. It solved his current weakness of insufficient Soul Power, and it could even grow. Once he reached the realm of a Titled Douluo, the amount of Soul Power this milk bottle could provide would definitely be immense!

It was equivalent to possessing twice as much Soul Power. His enemies would have to face two of him at once!

And there was even less need to mention the Soldier Secret. It could control all weapons and external objects. Once he became proficient with it, he would be able to wield Fifteen with even greater ease.

Of course, that was not the main point.

The instant Xiao Tian saw the Soldier Secret, he thought of what expression Tang San would wear in the future if he used Hidden Weapons against him, only to discover that all of his Hidden Weapons had become Xiao Tian's to command.

And as his level and proficiency increased, could he even control Tang San's Blue Silver Grass? After all, that counted as an external object too!

When Tang San launched an attack with Blue Silver Grass, only to discover that it had gone out of control and was attacking him instead—just imagining that scene made Xiao Tian think it would be entertaining!

Then, Xiao Tian held Fifteen in his right hand and cautiously approached the Azure Jade Silkworm's corpse, alert to his surroundings.

"Fifteen, when I absorb the Spirit Ring later, stand guard for me. If anything happens, help me kill it. If you can't defeat it, then carry me away with Sword Control Technique!"

Clang, clang, clang~~

Fifteen let out a piercing sword cry, its blade trembling to show that it understood!

Xiao Tian wasted no words. He dragged the Azure Jade Silkworm's corpse deep into the grass, then drew out the Spirit Ring within it and began absorbing it.

Meanwhile, in the Soul Hunting Forest.

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were under attack from a Mandala Snake. Unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang had fainted again this time.

Tang Hao, hidden in the shadows, sighed. He was just about to step in and severely wound the Mandala Snake for Tang San when he saw Tang San's expression suddenly change. Tang San drew a dagger, his hands turning the color of black jade as he charged at the Mandala Snake with agile movements.

Tang Hao immediately stopped, his gaze unfathomably deep. In truth, he had long known that something was abnormal about Tang San. That was also why he had been so cold toward him upon seeing that Tang San's first Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass. Only after seeing that his second Martial Soul was the Clear Sky Hammer had he finally been completely reassured.

That proved Tang San was truly his biological son—and the possessor of Twin Martial Souls. That was enough!
