Five-Fold Raging Dragon Soul-Extinguishing Beast!

Chen Xin looked at their smiling faces with a hint of resentment.

Suddenly, he seemed to recall something. Their first spirit rings were all thousand-year ones.

His own fourth spirit ring was only four thousand years old. If he calculated it, he seemed, probably, possibly, a bit trash.

No wonder they were laughing.

Chen Xin gave a wry smile, "Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, your first spirit rings are all thousand-year ones, no wonder you're laughing at me."

As soon as he said this, the others laughed even more heartily.

"Hey, hey, hey, what exactly do you guys mean?"

Chen Xin was getting a little angry. He was already unhappy from being beaten, and one laugh was understandable, but a second laugh? Who wouldn't be happy about that?

Xu Xiao patted Chen Xin's shoulder, "Fifth Brother, we're not laughing about your spirit rings."

"If you're going to hunt for spirit rings, I suggest you go train."

"Later on, I'll arrange your spirit rings."

"Just trust me."

Chen Xin paused, not laughing at his spirit rings, then what were they laughing at?

Chen Xin became increasingly bewildered. He felt they were acting a bit cryptic. Not letting him hunt for spirit rings... but without hunting for spirit rings, his cultivation progress would be slowed down.

However, seeing that Xu Xiao didn't seem to be joking, Chen Xin couldn't say much. Recalling that the other party had thousand-year first spirit rings, perhaps they could really help him obtain higher-year ones?

With this thought, Chen Xin decided to agree for now.

"Then Big Brother, what are you guys laughing at?" Chen Xin couldn't help but ask.

Xu Xiao chuckled, "You'll know when your several brothers get their second spirit rings."

"Now, I'll take you to the place for training."

With that said, Xu Xiao didn't care what Chen Xin thought and led them out of the stronghold.

Chen Xin's injuries hadn't healed yet, and he was helped outside by Gui Mei and Yue Guan.

Xu Xiao took out his Spirit Pagoda, "Fifth Brother, this is your training space."

"I only have two requests for you: no using spirit power, and no using the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul!"

"Fourth Brother will go in with you later and explain the rules inside."

"If you don't understand anything, you can also ask your Fourth Brother!"

Dugu Bo didn't refuse. After witnessing Xu Xiao's strength, he knew that his presence wasn't needed for this spirit ring hunt.

Chen Xin nodded seriously. His heart was once again shocked by Xu Xiao's resources. He definitely had to ask Dugu Bo properly later.

"Big Brother, I understand. I will definitely train well!" Chen Xin wasn't stupid. Although he didn't know Xu Xiao's intentions, he knew that the other party would definitely not harm him.

Xu Xiao naturally trusted Chen Xin. He was deeply passionate about the path of the sword, and nothing could stop him.

Rather than Chen Xin trusting Xu Xiao, it was more like he trusted his father, Chen Jianjun.

He trusted that his father wouldn't harm him, and he also trusted that Xu Xiao wouldn't dare to offend his father.

However, Xu Xiao didn't care what Chen Xin thought. The remaining matters could be left to Dugu Bo; he didn't need to worry about these.

Explaining further to Chen Xin would waste more time, so it was better to just hand him over to Dugu Bo.

He wanted to obtain his own spirit rings more!

Dugu Bo took Chen Xin into the Spirit Ascension Platform, and Xu Xiao put away the Spirit Pagoda.

Seeing that Chen Xin had disappeared, Gui Mei spoke, "Big Brother, are we letting Chen Xin start training so soon? Isn't it too fast?"

"I'm worried about him..."

Gui Mei's words weren't finished, but his meaning was clear.

Yue Guan also didn't understand. Even Dugu Bo back then had spent quite some time together before this happened.

Xu Xiao took a deep breath, understanding his two brothers' concerns, "My two brothers, you must know that on this continent, there's more than just fighting; there's a lot of human relationships. If we were powerful, fighting wouldn't matter."

"But we are too weak now. Being good to Chen Xin is partly because we hope he truly joins us, and partly because he has a powerful father."

"Chen Xin's talent is even greater than yours before you consumed the immortal herbs. With such a brother, our strength will only grow, and he will be our asset."

"After Chen Xin, there will definitely be others joining us. But as long as they are our brothers, we must treat them with empathy. Otherwise, why would they follow you?"

"Chen Xin is a swordsman. People like them are proud. If you treat them with empathy, they will naturally do the same. Moreover, with his father's instructions, he respects us quite a bit."

"When Chen Xin called me Big Brother and you Second and Third Brothers, he intended to follow us."

"Since he's following us, he's our brother."

"If he's a brother, how can I, as the Big Brother, be stingy?"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei listened intently and agreed wholeheartedly. Empathy – wasn't that how their Big Brother treated them?

This was also why they trusted their Big Brother.

"Alright, let's go get spirit rings. Can you two still use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

Xu Xiao looked at the two of them. "If it's too much, we'll rest for a day."

The two patted their chests. "Don't worry, Big Brother. After consuming the immortal herbs, our soul power is quite substantial."

"We can unleash our Martial Soul Fusion Skill twice a day!"

With that, Xu Xiao felt reassured. "Alright then, let's go hunt for soul rings now."

"You both just saw that I have already added a new soul ring to my second martial soul."

"It's the perfect time to let you see your Big Brother's strength."

Gui Mei teased, "It seems Big Brother doesn't want to be a support soul master after all."

"Hahahaha!"

Yue Guan and Xu Xiao laughed along.

The three of them left the area, laughing as they went to search for powerful soul beasts.

In the mid-tier section of the Sunset Forest, the three brothers surrounded a fierce tiger. The tiger's black and white stripes were distinct, and it licked its paws nonchalantly, showing no concern despite being surrounded by the three.

Its four thousand five hundred years of cultivation were the source of its confidence.

Xu Xiao nodded toward Gui Mei and Yue Guan. The two shifted their footing and exchanged a glance. "Infinite Stasis Domain!"

Xu Xiao immediately blocked the path in front of the soul beast. The tiger swiped its paw, but before it could land, it was frozen in place by their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Seeing this, Xu Xiao immediately unleashed his soul skill: "Raging Dragon Overwhelming Heaven!"

"Raging Dragon Overwhelming Heaven!"

"..."

Within five seconds, Xu Xiao unleashed his soul skill a full five times.

The Ice Fire Dragon on his hands was primed and ready, terrifying energy contained within his palms.

The moment the domain shattered, Xu Xiao unleashed the five-fold Ice Fire Twin Dragons!

With the five-fold stacked soul skill, the Ice Fire Twin Dragons roared as they surged forward; the ice dragon dealt high damage, and the fire dragon dealt high damage!

Under the Raging Dragon Overwhelming Heaven, the tiger was beaten to its last breath. Failing to finish it off in one move ultimately came down to his strength being slightly lacking.

Xu Xiao rushed forward to deliver the finishing blow, smashing the beast's head with a single punch.

A purple soul ring floated out. Xu Xiao immediately retracted his Dragon Body martial soul, summoned the Spirit Pagoda, and began to absorb it.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei immediately stood guard for Xu Xiao.

Due to the Ice Fire Body Tempering and the Dragon Body, Xu Xiao felt only slight pain while absorbing this soul ring; otherwise, there were no major complications.

Half an hour later, a purple soul ring appeared beneath Xu Xiao's feet, and his soul power jumped to level 29. The Aromatic Silk Beauty had provided 10 levels of soul power, and the four-thousand-five-hundred-year soul ring provided 3 levels.

The Aromatic Silk Beauty provided so much soul power only because Xu Xiao's strength was low; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to provide that much.

Had Xu Xiao consumed it while already in his twenties, it wouldn't have provided nearly as much soul power—at most, around 8 levels.

Even so, Xu Xiao was very satisfied. He was already at level 29, what more could he ask for?
