Ji Yang quickly took the Soul Spirit Pill out of his Storage Soul Tool and fed it to Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu swallowed it in one gulp, then focused on refining it.
"Little Yang, something's happening!"
A moment later, a gleam flashed through Xiao Wu's eyes, and she immediately shared her discovery in delight.
After refining the Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Spirit Pill, she could clearly feel the Soft Bone Rabbit soul spirit within it travel to her first soul ring and burrow straight inside.
Then the weak Soft Bone Rabbit soul spirit turned from guest to master, occupying the soul ring and taking control of it, merging with it as one.
As the Soft Bone Rabbit soul spirit fused with the Thousand-Year Soul Ring and absorbed its power, it advanced all the way from a ten-year soul spirit to a thousand-year soul spirit.
A thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit soul spirit was born!
The wondrous sensation was difficult for Xiao Wu to put into words.
For a fleeting moment, she even thought a baby rabbit had appeared inside her.
"Little Yang, you guessed right! It really did merge with my first soul ring. It even devoured the soul ring's power and took its place, becoming a thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit soul spirit."
Xiao Wu was both amazed and delighted.
Judging by this result, Ji Yang's earlier conjecture had been correct.
"Did your original soul skill change? Did you gain another soul skill?"
Ji Yang asked curiously.
Now that his conjecture had been confirmed, even he, the one who had proposed the theory, was astonished and clicked his tongue in wonder.
"The Instant Kick soul skill hasn't changed. I just gained another offensive soul skill-Double Kick!"
"This soul skill lets me deliver two kicks at the same time, or double the power of a single kick!"
Xiao Wu's face lit up with excitement.
In terms of its effects, Double Kick might not have a mechanism like teleportation or a straightforward numerical boost, but its ability to deliver consecutive attacks or double her damage still left her very satisfied.
Especially the latter.
Who could say that wasn't another kind of enhancement?
Before this, even as a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit, she had never known that her clan possessed such a "secret move."
It had truly opened the eyes of this old ancestor of the Soft Bone Rabbits.
And that wasn't even the most important part.
Most importantly, Double Kick and Instant Kick did not conflict. She could even use both soul skills simultaneously to attack.
If she landed such an attack, even without delivering five Instant Kicks in succession, one or two kicks would be enough to kill her opponent outright.
In short, Xiao Wu couldn't have been more satisfied with her new soul skill.
Not to mention that this Soft Bone Rabbit soul spirit could fight alongside her.
"Not bad!"
Ji Yang nodded with a smile.
He also thought Xiao Wu's soul skill was excellent.
Especially considering that it was a soul skill granted by a ten-year Soft Bone Rabbit soul spirit.
Although the Thousand-Year Soul Ring's power had enhanced it, the soul skill's foundation still came from that ten-year Soft Bone Rabbit soul spirit itself.
He could only say that his luck was truly good.
Both the fifty-year Flame Bird and the ten-year Soft Bone Rabbit had given them impressive soul skills.
"Get familiar with them, and try to develop your own combat habits and fighting style as soon as possible!"
Ji Yang told Xiao Wu.
"Mm-hmm!"
Xiao Wu nodded repeatedly in response.
Despite what she said, she had no intention of practicing either of those soul skills just then.
She simply summoned the Soft Bone Rabbit soul spirit that had become her soul ring and happily began playing with it.
This was truly an old elder playing with a mischievous child.
A hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit playing with a ten-year Soft Bone Rabbit!
Another half a month and more passed.
Ji Yang and Xiao Wu crossed the Balak Kingdom and then the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom, finally reaching Star Dou Great Forest.
If Xiao Wu hadn't wanted to spend an extra day or two exploring the villages, towns, and cities along the way, they would have made even faster progress.
It was worth mentioning that during this latter half-month, both Ji Yang and Xiao Wu had made further progress in their cultivation.
With the help of Soul Power Pills, Ji Yang's soul power level had risen from fourteen and a half to sixteen.
Xiao Wu had gone from thirteen and a half after forming her Thousand-Year Soul Ring to just over fifteen.
In this respect, Xiao Wu's progress had been greater than Ji Yang's.
After all, she had advanced a level and a half in just half a month.
Ji Yang, by contrast, had taken a full month.
Part of this was, of course, because Xiao Wu had innate full soul power and greater talent than Ji Yang, so she cultivated faster.
But it also showed that Soul Power Pills refined from soul beasts were more effective for Xiao Wu, a human formed through soul beast transformation.
This made Ji Yang even more eager to find an evil soul master to refine into pills and test the effects of the resulting medicine.
"Xiao Wu, get ready to contact Da Ming and Er Ming!"
Rather than hurry into the outskirts of Star Dou Great Forest, Ji Yang turned to Xiao Wu beside him.
"Leave it to me!"
Xiao Wu giggled and confidently patted her chest.
Now that they had reached Star Dou Great Forest, she was practically at her own doorstep.
She then activated the aura of her soul beast origin to notify Da Ming and Er Ming in the forest's core region.
As an invisible presence rippled outside Star Dou Great Forest, the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape in the core region immediately sensed Xiao Wu's presence clearly.
"Is that Sister Xiao Wu?!"
The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape were greatly surprised.
Only a month or two had passed. Why had their Sister Xiao Wu, who had been so determined to venture into the human world, returned?
Could their Sister Xiao Wu have encountered danger?
At that thought, the Sky Azure Bull Python immediately emerged from the Lake of Life and turned to the Titan Giant Ape on the shore. "Er Ming, let's hurry and find Sister Xiao Wu to see whether she's in danger."
"All right!"
The Titan Giant Ape pounded his chest hard.
At that moment, he was even more worried about Sister Xiao Wu's safety than his "big brother," the Sky Azure Bull Python.
The two set out together, heading toward Xiao Wu's location outside Star Dou Great Forest.
With both "kings of Star Dou Great Forest" on the move, the soul beasts throughout the forest grew restless, stampeding in every direction.
Many soul masters still hunting soul beasts within Star Dou Great Forest thought a beast tide had broken out, and they fled the forest with grim, worried expressions.
They had, one could say, been struck by a calamity out of the blue.
Still, neither Ji Yang and Xiao Wu nor the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape paid any attention to that.
Before long, the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape arrived outside Star Dou Great Forest and spotted Xiao Wu standing beside Ji Yang, happily chatting with him.
"Sister Xiao Wu!"
The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape flanked Ji Yang and Xiao Wu, greeting her together.
Seeing that their Sister Xiao Wu was unharmed, they immediately felt relieved.
By comparison, they were more curious about Ji Yang's identity and background, and they harbored some misgivings about him.
Especially since their Sister Xiao Wu seemed so attached to Ji Yang.
How little time had passed? Had their Sister Xiao Wu, who had only just entered the human world, already been lured away by some yellow-haired human brat?
