"Level 40?!"
Ning Tian and Wu Feng exclaimed. The former was filled with joy, while the latter hid a hint of reluctance.
Wu Feng secretly glanced at Ling Bai. Already being thoroughly beaten, he would have even less face to show in the future, but...
Thirty years on the east, thirty years on the west; don't underestimate a poor girl!
Wu Feng believed that one day he would be able to regain his strength!
He would take back Princess Ning Tian from the hands of the Great Demon Ling Bai!
"It seems we really need to stay a bit longer."
Ning Tian smiled sweetly. "Most of the creatures in the outer area are ten-year and hundred- year soul beasts. Encountering a thousand-year soul beast like the Adamantine Baboon is already quite lucky for us. Brother Bai, to obtain your fourth soul ring, we should venture into the mixed area."
She and Ling Bai had grown up together as childhood sweethearts. Following the ancient teachings of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, direct disciples must find a powerful Battle Soul Master as a spouse. Due to Ling Bai's outstanding talent, the higher-ups of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower had long planned to betroth the two when they came of age, ensuring Ning Tian's future and the future of the sect.
A combination of combat and support, Ling Bai's strength also meant her own strength, which made Ning Tian happier than her own advancement to Soul Exalted.
When decisive, the three were not indecisive. Maintaining a simple formation, Ling Bai and Wu Feng protected the support-type soul master Ning Tian on either side as they advanced deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.
Ling Bai naturally took the lead, with the feedback from the magic spider telling him that the owner of the White Tiger Dagger was still moving, but at a speed that could be described as a turtle's crawl compared to theirs.
Based on the other party's mere ten-year soul power and weak physical condition, Ling Bai found this slow speed quite reasonable.
The misty fog within the Star Dou Great Forest made the air feel cool, but it was hard for those inside to relax.
Since the Star Dou Great Forest launched a beast tide and the Shrek Academy compromised on behalf of human soul masters, after years of rest and recuperation, the number and quality of soul beasts within had reached an astonishing level.
Low-level soul beasts found it difficult to compete for territory and food with powerful soul beasts. To survive, they had to migrate outward, which was why the soul beasts in the outer areas of the Star Dou Great Forest were becoming stronger, and soul beasts often ventured out of the forest to harass nearby villages.
Advancing in the direction of the White Tiger Dagger, the three encountered several soul beasts along the way. However, the highest level among these soul beasts was a Flame Lion King with nine hundred years of cultivation.
The Flame Lion King was a rather powerful fire-type soul beast, but it was no match for Ling Bai and his companions and was easily subdued by Wu Feng alone.
Wu Feng then carefully skinned the Flame Lion King, taking its luxurious golden-red fur to be processed into a quilt for Ning Tian by a high-level artisan in Shrek City.
"There seems to be a soul power fluctuation over there?"
Ning Tian suddenly sensed something and stopped, pointing in a certain direction.
"Hmm."
Ling Bai nodded, a slight smile forming on his lips. Finally caught up!
"Let's go and check it out."
Ling Bai led Ning Tian and Wu Feng, parting the grass and heading toward the source of the soul power fluctuation.
What met their eyes was a soul beast that looked like an ape, covered in brownish-yellow fur, with abnormally long arms and sharp claws, bared fangs, and eyes that glinted with ferocity.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Wind Baboon?" Wu Feng frowned.
Compared to the top-tier soul beast Adamantine Baboon, which could rival a Titan Ape, the Wind Baboon was roughly one-tenth as strong.
One punch from the Adamantine Baboon, and the Wind Baboon would be sent to the netherworld.
Even with the Wind Baboon being so weak, it was still steadily suppressing the soul master opposite it!
"No way, no way, no one can really be losing to a Wind Baboon, right?!"
Wu Feng couldn't help but comment. The soul master opposite the Wind Baboon was a slender, young soul master, not much older than the three of them, with a poor appearance and ordinary looks. His only standout feature was his bright, deep blue eyes.
Under the continuous attacks of the ten-year-old Wind Baboon, the young man dodged and weaved, looking quite flustered!
Ning Tian narrowed her eyes, observing the Wind Baboon's size, and said softly, "Hmm~ it seems to be only ten years old."
"Hey, you two are being too harsh."
Hearing the two women's comments, Ling Bai smiled helplessly. The one being driven to the brink by the Wind Baboon was none other than the future Emotion God, the famous Huo Yuhao.
Although Huo Yuhao was currently a bit of a failure, he was about to rise to prominence!
"Tch!"
Wu Feng sneered, almost etching disdain on her face. Ning Tian smiled gently, twirling a strand of white-gold hair around her finger, and said, "Should we help him?"
"No need."
Ling Bai shook his head. Huo Yuhao was merely a locator to him, and his life or death was of
no concern.
If Huo Yuhao were really killed by a ten-year-old soul beast, Ling Bai would give the Wind Baboon a thumbs up, admiring the God Slayer's prowess!
"Hey, Ning Tian, look! That guy is counterattacking!"
Wu Feng suddenly grabbed Ning Tian, excited.
At the center of the battlefield, Huo Yuhao blocked two consecutive palm strikes from the Wind Baboon with the White Tiger Dagger. Seemingly enraged, the Wind Baboon raised its upper body, pounded its chest with both fists, and roared, opening its mouth to release a burst of white light directly at Huo Yuhao.
As it released the white light, the Wind Baboon also pounced at Huo Yuhao with a bloodthirsty gleam in its eyes.
At the critical moment, Huo Yuhao, losing his ability to think, instinctively fell backward, raising his right hand, which held the White Tiger Dagger, to intercept the white light.
The Wind Baboon leaped over the White Tiger Dagger, its arms grabbing Huo Yuhao's shoulders and throwing him. After successfully throwing Huo Yuhao, the Wind Baboon seemed to stiffen for a moment. Huo Yuhao was flung away, but the Wind Baboon rolled on the ground and then lay still.
Ling Bai observed everything. The White Tiger Dagger, which was originally too short to reach the airborne Wind Baboon, absorbed the white light and suddenly released a blade of light, slicing through the baboon's body, allowing Huo Yuhao to achieve a counterkill!
In ancient times, a hero could defeat a fierce tiger with a slide tackle. Today, the future Emotion God similarly used a slide tackle to counterkill a ten-year-old Wind Baboon!
"How did he manage that..."
Ning Tian and Wu Feng were greatly shocked. Not just them, even Huo Yuhao, the one involved, was stunned, sitting on the ground for a long time before reacting!
Huo Yuhao looked at the white ten-year soul ring above the Wind Baboon's head, his expression complex. He couldn't die; he had to avenge his mother. The scenes of his battle with the Wind Baboon replayed in his mind, reminding him of his own overestimation.
"Mom..."
As Huo Yuhao fell into a daze, a cheeky voice suddenly echoed in his mind: "Finally encountered a human with mental attributes. Too bad I can't cry, or I would be in tears!" The ground trembled unexpectedly, and cracks appeared two meters in front of Huo Yuhao, gradually expanding into fissures. Faint golden light could be seen shimmering through the
cracks.
Ning Tian and Wu Feng, hiding nearby, held their breath, staring at the shimmering light, while Ling Bai's excitement was almost palpable.
Here comes the big bug! (End of Chapter)
