As the Soul Ring and External Soul Bone completely merged into his body, Lu Xiao's aura surged once more!
His Soul Power began rising continuously from its original level ten!
Eleven... twelve... thirteen!
The immense Soul Power shattered its restraints and skyrocketed without pause!
Fourteen! Fifteen!
Sixteen!
Lu Xiao tightly closed his eyes. Layers upon layers of Soul Power radiance shimmered around him, blue and gold intertwined in dazzling splendor.
Seventeen!
As that pushing force slowly faded, his Soul Power stabilized firmly at level seventeen.
If not for the earlier awakening of his Bronze Body Martial Soul consuming most of the medicinal power, as well as activating the Golden Dragon Martial Soul consuming the energy of the Soul Ring and Soul Bone,
his Soul Power Level could have been even higher!
Whoosh!
Lu Xiao's eyes flew open. Golden light shot from his pupils, and two faint phantoms of golden dragon eyes flashed past.
The dark blue dragon scales over his body receded like a tide, while that Thousand-Year Soul Ring slowly rose from beneath his feet and revolved around him!
[Congratulations to the host for becoming a Soul Master! Reward: "Soul Master" gift pack!]
With a movement of his body, he leaped out of the massive cauldron. His Soul Power was dense and refined, dragon might curling around him as his temperament underwent a complete transformation.
Much of a child's immaturity had faded away, replaced by the icy majesty and domineering presence of a dragon clan sovereign.
Xiao Wu was the first to approach. Upon catching that familiar, subtle fragrance, all the fear in her heart vanished.
She stared at Lu Xiao and suddenly realized that the Lu Xiao who had just been the same height as her was now half a head taller.
Du Busi forcefully suppressed his shock and asked urgently, "Disciple, what is your second Martial Soul?"
Lu Xiao raised a hand and focused his mind. With a thought, golden light surged around him.
Lu Xiao's black hair rapidly turned gold, and his eyes became golden as well. Crimson-gold vertical pupils emerged!
Boom!
A dazzling phantom of the Golden Dragon Martial Soul appeared behind him, coiling through the sky. Its dragon might was vast and mighty, intimidating all directions!
With Lu Xiao's current strength, he still could not completely merge with the Golden Dragon Martial Soul!
After all, the Golden Dragon Martial Soul possessed the rare ultimate strength attribute... inherited from the Golden Dragon King's bloodline!
It was absolutely not something Lu Xiao could control yet!
"My second Martial Soul is the Golden Dragon, which possesses the ultimate strength attribute!"
Upon hearing Lu Xiao's words, Du Busi strode forward. His gaze locked onto the Golden Dragon phantom, and even his hands trembled slightly. Overjoyed, he said, "Good! Good! Good! The talent of this Martial Soul surpasses all others in this age. Its future achievements will be limitless!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he laughed loudly. "It seems your Body Martial Soul is no weaker than the Golden Dragon! Otherwise, how could it be twin Martial Souls with the Golden Dragon Martial Soul!"
Seeing Du Busi praise himself so shamelessly, the corner of Lu Xiao's mouth twitched slightly. He withdrew his Martial Soul without refuting him.
"Since we're here, we can't leave empty-handed!"
Du Busi patted Lu Xiao's shoulder and said, "Battling all kinds of Soul Beasts is also part of your training!"
After speaking, Du Busi swept his gaze over the continuous mountains and forests around them, a sharp glint flashing through his eyes.
Under a Super Douluo's spiritual detection, not a single Soul Beast in this Soul Beast forest could escape his eyes!
Lu Xiao instantly understood Du Busi's intentions.
Having just awakened the Golden Dragon Martial Soul and fused with the 3,800-year Wind-Thunder Demon Dragon Soul Ring, his Soul Power had soared tremendously!
Only through the tempering of actual combat could he fully control this sudden surge of strength and solidify his foundation.
"This disciple understands!" Lu Xiao answered in a deep voice!
Xiao Wu stood to one side. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Lu Xiao, I'll go with you!"
While Lu Xiao had been absorbing the Soul Ring, she had also condensed her first Soul Ring.
Du Busi merely cast Xiao Wu a faint glance and said nothing.
After all, he could crush every Soul Beast in this forest with a single finger!
Just as Du Busi led Lu Xiao and Xiao Wu in search of suitable training targets,
outside the Soul Hunting Forest, Yu Xiaogang stood at the entrance with Tang San.
Yu Xiaogang looked at the clearly increased number of soldiers around them and frowned slightly.
Seeing the sudden increase in guards at the entrance, Yu Xiaogang furrowed his brow and asked the captain responsible for inspecting permits, "The outer defenses have greatly increased today. Could there have been a beast tide in the Soul Hunting Forest?"
"What does anything that happens in the Soul Hunting Forest have to do with you!"
Looking at Yu Xiaogang's unsightly attire, the soldier captain mocked, "Since you have no strength, there's no need to go in and throw your life away!"
Those words instantly struck at the most sensitive part of Yu Xiaogang's pride.
His face darkened at once, turning pale and then green...
Seeing this, Tang San hurriedly consoled him in a low voice. "Teacher, there is no need to be angry with an ordinary person."
Yu Xiaogang forcibly suppressed his anger, snorted coldly, and pulled Tang San straight into the Soul Hunting Forest.
Seeing Yu Xiaogang's manner, the soldier captain spat viciously onto the ground!
"What a piece of work!"
Looking at Tang San's thin, small figure, he said regretfully, "What a pity for that child, ending up with a teacher like him."
"His whole life is ruined!"
After entering the forest, Yu Xiaogang did not rush forward. Instead, he silently observed the surroundings.
Once he confirmed that there were no other Soul Masters nearby, he immediately activated his pitiful Soul Power!
"Come out, Luo Sanpao."
Pfft.
A stream of pale purple Soul Power emerged from Yu Xiaogang's palms, like a fart.
After a weak pulse of Soul Power, an additional creature stood before him.
More precisely, it was a pig-like creature over one and a half meters long, with a waistline that was probably about the same!
Its pale purple fur covered its entire body, and its two little ears drooped down. Its fat body wriggled, causing its plump rear to sway from side to side.
Its four short, thick legs were impossible to spot without looking closely.
"Little San, didn't you want to know what my Martial Soul was before?"
Two Hundred-Year Soul Rings rose beneath Yu Xiaogang's feet. "This is my Martial Soul. You can call it Luo Sanpao, or simply Sanpao."
"Teacher, this is your Martial Soul?" Tang San looked astonished.
"My Martial Soul is a mutated Martial Soul!" Yu Xiaogang explained simply.
Tang San did not ask further. After all, he understood that when it came to strength, Yu Xiaogang had nothing worth learning from!
They had advanced barely a hundred meters when a slender, upright bamboo silhouette suddenly appeared in their field of vision.
The vegetation throughout the area was sparse, yet this Lone Bamboo stood alone. Its entire body was jade-green, its bamboo stalk long and straight, with an extremely faint layer of pearly white light flowing over its surface. It swayed gently without wind, releasing a mild and restrained pulse of Soul Power.
"It isn't difficult to judge a Soul Beast's strength. Look, that Lone Bamboo ahead."
Delight flashed through Yu Xiaogang's eyes as he took the opportunity to teach Tang San. "It is a plant-type Soul Beast with a hundred years of cultivation. It is over twenty meters tall, so it must be at least four hundred years old!"
Tang San looked toward the Lone Bamboo, his eyes filled with anticipation. "Teacher, are we going to hunt this Lone Bamboo?"
Yu Xiaogang hesitated inwardly.
Given the situation at the outskirts, he had realized that something might have gone wrong in the Soul Hunting Forest.
He truly wanted to nurture Tang San well and prove his theories.
But if it was a beast tide, forget proving his theories—even ten of him would not be able to escape.
"The Lone Bamboo itself is tough. Though it is not very aggressive, its defenses are quite good. It suits you well!"
After pondering for a moment, he slowly said, "If we don't find a more suitable choice for now, it will have to be this one in the end!"
What Yu Xiaogang did not know was that this Lone Bamboo was also a mutated Soul Beast. Although it stood over twenty meters tall, its cultivation had not yet reached a hundred years.
It was stuck at ninety-nine years!
If they had arrived a few days later, perhaps this Lone Bamboo could have completely transformed into a Hundred-Year Soul Beast!
