Chapter 51 Crushing Strike, the Hurricane's First Signs
Chapter 51 Crushing Strike, the Hurricane's First Signs
"..."
The scene was silent.
Apart from Ning Tian and Wu Feng, everyone else stared in astonishment at the scene that seemed to freeze time. A datura-colored dragon opened its mouth wide, almost devouring the boy in front of it, but Su Wen remained calm and showed no fear in the face of the threat.
Ahead, a giant ape, about four meters tall, with clearly defined muscles, a slender but not thin physique, snow-white fur, and a faint purple stripe at the corner of its eye, appeared out of nowhere. It grabbed the tail of the datura snake and pulled it back sharply with a contemptuous expression.
"hiss!!!"
The datura snake was in excruciating pain, but the hurricane gripped its tail like a toy. The boy's calm face in its pupils receded further and further away, and with fear, the excruciating pain spread throughout its body. It knew that it had probably provoked the one person in this group it should never have messed with...
The hurricane was like a rope being swung around and played with in one's hand, producing a sharp whistling sound.
"hurricane."
Su Wen frowned.
"Roar~"
The latter nodded, lifted the snake by the tail, slammed the snake's head to the ground, and then punched it. With a "pfft," the datura snake spat out a stream of dark blood and lost consciousness.
A datura snake was crushed and rendered unconscious.
Among the entire group, Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao looked completely stunned.
Tang Ya, in particular, blushed slightly after realizing what had happened. She had been so casual about saying that Bei Bei would protect him, no wonder Bei Bei's expression was so strange, now she understood...
Huo Yuhao was even more shocked, his eyes widening in disbelief.
Bei Bei's fierce attacks and his Soul Master strength at only fifteen years old filled him with envy. Even someone as strong as Bei Bei struggled to kill the Mandragora Serpent, yet Su Wen...
"That's...perverted." Huo Yuhao was at a loss for words.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was on high alert, staring at the wind baboon with growing horror and a strange look in its eyes.
"Wind Baboon? No! It's as if its bloodline has undergone a qualitative change, a mutated species of Wind Baboon? And isn't this guy's martial soul the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion? How come another Wind Baboon has appeared?!"
"It's been over four thousand years, hasn't it?"
Beibei released her martial soul possession and walked over with an envious expression, looking Hurricane up and down. Su Wen was a "Beast Tamer," which was common knowledge in the inner academy. The soul beasts under his command were all incredibly talented.
This must be the rumored "hurricane".
He's really handsome.
He has a bunch of "underlings" under his command, and he doesn't even need to lift a finger himself, which makes him look incredibly sophisticated.
It has to be a summoning type...
Will you take on my group of soul beasts one-on-one, or will my group of soul beasts gang up on you?
"almost."
Su Wen smiled.
"What kind of baboon is this? It's so cool!" Tang Ya's eyes lit up as she walked over and carefully stroked Hurricane's fur, her envious gaze barely concealed.
"Wind Baboon." Wu Feng spoke before Su Wen could.
Tang Ya: "..."
This is even more awkward.
"Alright, we're still missing Ning Tian's third spirit ring. In that case... Hurricane!" Su Wen gave Hurricane a look, and the latter roared. Its massive body moved as fast as the wind, disappearing from everyone's sight in a few flashes. It went straight up the ancient tree and leaped into the distance.
Tang Ya took out a hidden weapon and stabbed it into the neck of the dying datura snake, ending its life.
Immediately, a pale purple soul ring rippled up, and he sat cross-legged on the ground to begin absorbing it.
A few minutes later.
A massive, three-thousand-year-old black ape crashed down from the ancient tree, followed closely by a hurricane that stepped on it and let out a soft roar at Su Wen.
"Mountains and ridges, monkeys, leaning towards... strength."
Su Wen looked at Ning Tian to the side.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul does not grant all its owners fixed Soul Skills. A very small number of Soul Beasts also grant unique skills. For example, Ning Tian's second Soul Skill is "Dispel," while her third Soul Skill is "Power."
The latter smiled sweetly.
"Um."
He stepped forward decisively, wielding a sharp blade, and used some force to finish the job.
Begin absorbing the spirit ring.
Beibei watched as the two absorbed the nutrients simultaneously, and the corner of her mouth twitched.
Both are advanced Soul Masters, but one is fifteen years old and the other is only eleven. Tang Ya even struggled to absorb a two-thousand-year-old Soul Ring, while Ning Tian chose a third Soul Ring with an age of over three thousand years, nearly four thousand years...
Su Wen remained calm.
As the young sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Tian has eaten all sorts of rare and precious materials to the point of exhaustion. Not to mention whale glue, he has even eaten more precious things. His body's tolerance has long reached a level that is difficult for ordinary people to reach.
It could last for more than 3,000 years, or even more than 5,000 years, but the former is more reliable and the latter carries some risk.
"Pfft~"
The hurricane was bored, so it rubbed wood to start a fire.
Its massive body sits on the ground, adding a bit of amusement to its otherwise dull and monotonous life.
Beibei originally wanted to remind him that lighting a spark in the Star Dou Great Forest could easily attract soul beasts, but after thinking about it, she realized that Su Wen seemed to have another Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. She opened her mouth but didn't say anything. There were probably very few creatures on the outskirts that could pose a threat to Su Wen.
He gave a wry smile, sat back down in his seat, and looked back at Tang Ya.
"You've become that strong?"
Wu Feng watched Ning Tian absorb the soul ring, feeling somewhat bored. She simply sat back down next to Su Wen, her fair and delicate face close to his, her crimson eyes filled with surprise and curiosity.
After all, when the two first met, she was several levels below him and was brutally beaten. She felt like several of her ribs were broken and she was almost traumatized. But now... the gap seems even bigger, like an insurmountable chasm, and she can hardly see Su Wen's back.
Su Wen ignored her and continued to circulate the golden core within his body.
"Any tips?" Wu Feng moved his face even closer, his moist breath tickling Su Wen's cheeks.
"Yes." Su Wen opened his eyes and looked helplessly at Wu Feng, who was practically pressed against him and burrowed into his arms. "Stop dreaming and focus on your cultivation."
"Tch~~~"
Wu Feng scoffed and shrank back.
I lay down listlessly and looked up at the sky.
However, Huo Yuhao noticed that the girl's ears seemed to be red.
"Envious?"
In the sea of the spirit.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said with a grin.
"Hmm..." Huo Yuhao nodded slightly. Although avenging his mother was his top priority, as a teenage boy, he was naturally a little restless in this regard.
"Back in the day, I was known as a master at flirting with girls in the far north. Even the Ice Emperor, one of the three Heavenly Kings, was completely captivated by me. Unfortunately, I was forced to leave to explore the world back then. I wonder how Little Ice is doing now," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm chuckled.
"By the way, when you obtain your second spirit ring, go to the far north." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's lips curled up: "There's an opportunity waiting for you there."
"Oh..." Huo Yuhao kept it firmly in mind.
He nodded slightly.
P.S.: There's one more chapter coming later.
