Jin Jiuxiao gave a warning and immediately unleashed Extreme Lightning Thousand Birds.
His golden pupils lit up, and azure thunder crackled around Jin Jiuxiao, faintly forming the shape of a thunderbird.
He abruptly raised his arm and swept it horizontally, and countless thunderbirds condensed from lightning were born out of thin air.
Electricity rippled across their wings, a thousand birds crying out in unison as they surged forth in swarms.
They slammed into Xiong Jun ahead from all directions in rapid succession.
"Good kid." Xiong Jun stood in place without moving, relying purely on his physical body to hard-carry this move of Extreme Lightning Thousand Birds.
He could not even be made unsteady on his feet.
"According to the humans, this Extreme Lightning Thousand Birds of yours can instantly kill some high-tier Soul Elders with low defense."
"Tsk tsk, you picked this 'Charge' skill well."
Xiong Jun patted his own chest: "It's just not punchy enough, the shock isn't comfortable enough."
If it were the previous Jin Jiuxiao, he would still treat it seriously.
As for now...
Jin Jiuxiao only had the cultivation of Level 16, and the Extreme Lightning Thousand Birds he unleashed was far inferior to before.
Even if he stood in place and let Jin Jiuxiao hit him, Jin Jiuxiao could not break his defense.
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was thick-skinned and tough, and naturally excelled at taking a beating.
Not to mention he was a 420,000-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
His defensive power was terrifyingly high.
It was not that Jin Jiuxiao was not strong, but rather that the gap in cultivation between the two sides was simply too vast.
Jin Jiuxiao's combat power at this moment was enough to fight across two major realms.
Even a Soul Ancestor could not ignore Jin Jiuxiao's attacks.
"Alright, alright, once I raise my cultivation, I'll give you a proper shock."
"I guarantee it'll make you 'nice and comfortable'."
"That will probably take another few decades." After finishing his joke, Xiong Jun brought up business: "Your total amount of soul power isn't much right now, so it's best to use Extreme Lightning Thousand Birds less."
"Since you can even use Extreme Lightning Thousand Birds, you should be able to use those other small skills too, right?"
Jin Jiuxiao nodded: "I can."
As for other small skills like Thunderbolt, Flash, and Thunder Shock Beam, his proficiency was such that whatever he shouted, he got.
In fact, if you calculated it, the Pokemon were also a part of his combat power.
It was merely a difference between forced capture and contract.
Neither would restrict their potential, allowing the Pokemon to continue growing.
At that moment, Di Tian tossed a black ring-shaped Storage Soul Tool to Jin Jiuxiao: "The things inside here should be useful to you in the human world."
Jin Jiuxiao caught the ring, put it on his own hand, and probed inside it.
Packed full of Gold Soul Coins!
An entire ring of Gold Soul Coins!
Aside from that, there were three more storage rings placed within it.
Di Tian also gave an appropriate explanation: "There are three more storage rings inside, and two of them also contain this kind of human world currency."
"The remaining one contains some soul bones; if you manage to subdue talented soul masters in the human world, they could also come in handy."
Upon hearing the two words 'soul bone', Scarlet King's expression changed instantly.
Di Tian glanced at him: "No one is touching yours, what are you panicking for."
Hearing this, Scarlet King finally let out a sigh of relief.
Di Tian did not know how much money one actually needed to spend to buy things in the human world, so he simply figured giving more was better.
If it wasn't enough, he could just come home to get more; there was more at home.
These Gold Soul Coins and soul bones were left behind by those human powerhouses from the past who had mistakenly blundered into the Star Dou Great Forest.
Anyway, they didn't take up much space, so Di Tian had just casually found a place to store them.
As for those soul bones... they had no use for them anyway.
The Poké Ball could forcibly capture enemies for one's own use and also guarantee absolute loyalty.
In other words, when Jin Jiuxiao went to the human world, he could also subdue geniuses from the human side to become a foundation for their soul beasts.
In Di Tian's view, rather than subduing those Titled Douluos who had reached the ends of their paths, it was better to subdue some heaven-gifted prodigies.
Human cultivation speed was very fast, taking at most a hundred years.
The thing they lacked the least at this stage was time.
When Jin Jiuxiao reached Level 90, there would be nine slots.
If he truly encountered a human prodigy who was outstanding and possessed the bearing to become a god, it was not out of the question to allocate a slot to subdue them.
Di Tian's thoughts had also become active.
With Jin Jiuxiao around, he was confident he could unite the soul beasts into a single rope.
Over in the Far North, there were still two powerful Ferocious Beasts.
"Thank you, Uncle Di Tian." Jin Jiuxiao immediately thanked Di Tian.
There was actually nothing wrong with him calling these Ferocious Beasts uncle.
Their strengths were all greater than his, and their ages were all older than his.
Which of them didn't have a lifespan starting from ten thousand years?
The most crucial thing was that they had no schemes against their own people.
That made getting along with them very comfortable.
Usually, there was no need to put on airs; he could say whatever he wanted to say without having to worry about this or that.
"Mhm." After Di Tian finished giving all the instructions that needed to be given, he turned and plunged into the Lake of Life.
Scarlet King and Myriad Demon King followed closely behind.
Xiong Jun urged Jin Jiuxiao once more: "Don't be afraid if anything happens, come back and find Uncle Xiong, I'll lead you in slaughtering your way back!"
"Understood, Uncle Xiong."
Only then did Xiong Jun dive into the Lake of Life.
"Stay safe." Bi Ji did not say much else.
But that was enough.
"Sister Bi Ji, then Sister Zi Ji and I are setting off."
"Bye-bye~" Zi Ji also waved goodbye to Bi Ji.
The two walked side by side toward the outside.
Bi Ji watched the figures of the two disappear from sight and sighed softly: "Continue cultivating."
"Sigh, it's good to go out for a spin."
"I've been cooped up at home to the point of boredom." Zi Ji yawned: "Are we going to go bring that little rabbit now?"
"By the way, where are we going?"
Jin Jiuxiao was not sure if Tang San was currently in Nuoding City: "I don't know, just pick a direction at random."
He took Xiao Wu purely to test whether the 'destined female lead' could exert some effort and lead him to Tang San's location.
To put it bluntly, he was treating Xiao Wu as a GPS tracker.
Once he found Tang San, he wouldn't be in a rush; in this Douluo I era, Tang San was not the ultimate boss.
His enemies were those gods sitting high above!
In addition...
Among the Shrek Seven Monsters, there were still a few good seedlings worth recruiting.
As for forcibly subduing them with a Poké Ball? That would be wasting a Poké Ball's slot too much.
As for the nine slots for Titled Douluos, he actually already had targets in mind.
The six Ferocious Beasts, plus Ice Empress and Snow Empress.
That made eight slots.
There was still one more slot...
As he thought about it, the two of them also arrived at the dwelling of Xiao Wu, the Sky Azure Bull Python, and the Titan Giant Ape on the periphery of the Lake of Life.
Sensing their auras, the Sky Azure Bull Python poked its head out of the lake: "Lord Zi Ji, Lord Jiuxiao."
He hadn't expected that Jin Jiuxiao would actually transform into human form as well; looking at this appearance... it seemed he was preparing to head to the human realm.
Zi Ji was a 200,000-year Hell Demon Dragon King, and her strength far surpassed his and Er Ming's, so it was only natural to respectfully address her as 'Lord'.
As for Jin Jiuxiao...
Back when the Beast God ordered them to move out of the Lake of Life, there had actually been a trace of dissatisfaction with Jin Jiuxiao deep in their hearts.
They felt that Jin Jiuxiao was riding on the coattails of Lord Bi Ji, which was why he qualified to live in the core area.
Until he used his 70,000-year cultivation to overturn the combined forces of him and Er Ming, this trace of dissatisfaction had completely vanished.
As Jin Jiuxiao's cultivation grew higher and higher, his strength grew stronger and stronger, and his status became even higher than theirs, there was no problem in respectfully addressing him as 'Lord' either.
Soul beasts were just that direct; the strong were supreme, and the capable ruled.
"Da Ming, where is Xiao Wu?"
