As Tang Ao's voice faded, the Mandala Snake that had been lying dormant in the cave for five years began to slowly move its body.
A huge black shadow began to press down on the three of them from within the cave. However, when it appeared in front of everyone once again, Tang San and Xiaowu's faces revealed astonishment.
Even Tang Ao's eyes flashed with a bright light. Indeed, this little fellow succeeded. At this moment, the Mandala Snake in front of the three of them had changed from a few meters from five years ago to a small fist-sized snake. Its age was still at the hundred-year level.
But even so, it could not be said to have become weaker. The green scales on this little fellow's body had completely faded away, and what was once again draped over it was a strange pattern that was as black as ink and covered with strange patterns.
From time to time, both of its eyes would emit a faint deathly intent. It was obvious that after five years of continuous Life Spending nourishment, the Mandala Snake had finally completed the first stage of evolution. Five years. Tang Ao had experienced a total of 1,825 days, and the system could increase his lifespan by ten years every day.
In addition, he had obtained a hundred years reward from winning the battle during this period of time, as well as his original eleven years of life. In total... 1,936 years!
Originally, the best insurance plan was to use this lifespan to increase his soul force, allowing him to directly become a Soul King. This way, he would have some ability to protect himself in this world.
However, under the reminder of the system, Tang Ao finally chose to give up and walk on another path to increase his strength. That was... to increase the age of the Soul Ring! He further activated this little fellow's Yellow Spring Devil Snake bloodline!
After all, in five years, Tang San, the main character and Xiaowu, had only cultivated to the Second Ring Great Soul Master. If he were to cultivate from the Second Ring to the Fifth Ring in a short period of time, it was likely that it would really attract a large number of people's suspicions.
The Fourth Ring was already the safest cultivation base! As for his four ten thousand year Soul Ring which were as black as ink... The first one was actually a 1,000-year Soul Ring, the Killing Intent.
Tang Ao had spent 136 years of his lifespan to raise it to the Myriad Year Level! The second one was the Thousand Year Soul Ring, the Soul Catcher. Tang Ao had spent 250 years of his life to raise it to the Myriad Year Level!
The third one was also the Thousand Year Soul Ring. Tang Ao had spent 450 years of his life to raise it to the Myriad Year Level! As for the fourth Soul Ring, Tang Ao hid it from Yu Xiaogang again and chose the Soul Ring provided by the system. At the price of 700 years of his lifespan, he directly chose a ten thousand year Soul Ring from the system. Death God Void!
This was the origin of Tang Ao's four 10,000-year-old Soul Ring. As for their effects, especially the Fourth Soul Ring, Tang Ao was not in a hurry to use it for testing. After all, they would soon be going to the Shrek Academy that only accepted monsters and not trash.
And the person who was guarding the last round of the entrance test was a real Soul Saint. Level 76 Soul Saint, Acalanātha, Zhao Wuji! At this stage, who could compare to this guy who could be his sparring partner?
After the four Soul Rings from the Mad Life Spending, Tang Ao only had 400 years left to live. Among these, Tang Ao gave all of his 350 years to the little guy in front of him. He sped up the activation of the Yellow Spring Devil Snake bloodline in his body.
It was precisely because of the nourishment of his own life force that the evolved Mandala Snake was especially dependent on Tang Ao now. Its intelligence had also increased by quite a bit. No, it should be called this little guy's Yellow Spring Devil Snake now. "Hiss..."
After realizing that the person who came was Tang Ao, the Yellow Spring Devil Snake quickly moved its body and climbed onto Tang Ao's shoulder.
It rubbed its little head against Tang Ao's face, appearing extremely obedient. Xiaowu, who was beside, also blinked her eyes curiously when she saw this. She looked at this little fellow. "So cute. I didn't expect that after you mutated, you would actually be so cute."
Seeing this scene, Tang Ao smiled faintly. "Since you have successfully evolved, it's time for us to leave this Soulhunt Forest." "Hiss! Hiss!"
Regarding Tang Ao's plan, the Yellow Spring Devil Snake spat out blood and the snake tongue expressed its agreement. Xiaowu and Tang San also nodded slightly when they heard this.
Indeed, with their current cultivation and age, they could graduate from Norden Academy last month and find an academy suitable for them. If not for waiting for this little fellow, they would have left long ago. After making up their minds, Tang Ao and the other two took the Yellow Spring Devil Snake and left the Soulhunt Forest.
As for whether those guards would discover it, they were not worried about that. Putting aside the fact that this little fellow was too small and was very difficult to discover, even if those guards discovered it, they would not pay much attention to it. For a "Ten Years" Soul Beast that looked like a pet, provoking a young man with a level three token was obviously not a smart choice.
It was precisely because of this that Tang Ao and the other two followed the same time and left the Soulhunt Forest unimpeded, heading towards their next destination.
Shrek Academy!
