Chapter 23: The Soul Beast They Sought
As for the Martial Soul Mimicry Theory, Su Yun couldn't help but find it the most ridiculous point. Isn't it normal for plant martial souls to absorb animal soul rings?
Otherwise, what would sword martial souls, knife martial souls, and the like absorb? Su Yun thought this question could be asked to Sword Douluo Chen Xin; he should have experience in this matter.
"Binding is indeed useful, but as my soul power increases, the length of my Blue Silver Grass is also increasing."
"When my soul power becomes higher, even without the Binding skill, it doesn't matter to me."
"I can still control the Blue Silver Grass to restrain others."
Su Yun said.
"Really?"
The twin brother was stunned.
"Of course."
Su Yun gently grasped the Blue Silver Emperor in his hand.
Compared to the day it awakened, he could clearly feel that the Blue Silver Emperor had grown a bit in these past few days.
...
Not long after entering the Soul Hunting Forest, Su Yun and his group finally encountered a hundred-year soul beast.
Red Ape.
A hundred-year soul beast covered in flames.
However, facing the pressure of Teacher Xiong's two soul rings and the aura of the Bear Martial Soul, the Red Ape immediately fled.
It was in the afternoon, and Su Yun's group wasn't in a hurry.
They continued to search for the Earth Dragon Python in the Soul Hunting Forest.
To find the Earth Dragon Python, Su Yun and the others deliberately avoided the more humid directions.
Earth Dragon Pythons liked dry environments.
Their colors mostly intersected between brown-yellow and brown-green.
"Hiss~"
After searching in the Soul Hunting Forest for an afternoon and sighing that they couldn't find the Earth Dragon Python, a voice suddenly attracted the attention of Su Yun and his group.
Especially the twin brothers, who immediately became alert.
"Teacher Xiong!"
"Don't talk, I've seen it!"
After seeing that the Earth Dragon Python was only ten meters away from him, Teacher Xiong's eyes suddenly changed.
The Black Bear Martial Soul immediately possessed him.
His originally knotted muscles also swelled up at this moment!
Coupled with his somewhat dark face, he now looked exactly like a standing black bear!
Su Yun saw that the brown and green Earth Dragon Python, which had been curled up on a giant rock, immediately stretched its body when it saw them.
The entire body extended, reaching a length of three meters, and the body was as thick as a bowl.
The tail, as thick as a thigh, slapped the ground, causing a slight vibration even from a distance.
"This Earth Dragon Python is three hundred years old. You three, be careful and hide to the side."
"Yes!"
Learning that the Earth Dragon Python in front of them was a three-hundred-year soul beast, the twin brothers showed full faces of joy.
After all, the stronger the soul ring, the stronger the effect of the soul skill.
And the more powerful soul rings bring more soul power bonuses to them.
Encountering a three-hundred-year Earth Dragon Python today, they hit the jackpot.
Su Yun followed the twin brothers to the side, watching Teacher Xiong's battle.
It must be said that Teacher Xiong's combat experience is indeed very rich.
Facing the powerful tail swings of the Earth Dragon Python, Teacher Xiong only used one hand to block it.
After just a dozen rounds of fighting between man and beast, Teacher Xiong had already gained the upper hand.
"Great! It looks like Teacher Xiong is about to win."
"Teacher Xiong is indeed the strongest Soul Master in our academy. With such strong power, even the Earth Dragon Python can't beat him."
The twin brothers hid behind the bushes, watching Teacher Xiong's battle, repeatedly expressing their amazement.
Seeing Teacher Xiong's actions, Su Yun also applauded in his heart for this teacher's combat skills.
It's easy to see.
This Teacher Xiong must have gone through numerous trials in the Soul Beast Forest.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a set of skills to deal with this Earth Dragon Python.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Su Yun frowned.
He sensed an unusual feeling.
However.
This unusual feeling was not something he actively sensed.
In his hand, it was the Blue Silver Emperor, or rather, the Blue Silver Emperor sensed some kind of information.
"Little Su Yun, this is the nearby Blue Silver Grasses conveying a message of danger to you. Danger is nearby!"
In his mind, the voice of Ah Yin resonated.
Su Yun's eyes immediately became sharp, and he began to vigilantly observe the surroundings. Along with the increasing flow of unusual information from the Blue Silver Emperor in his hand, Su Yun's gaze suddenly became intense!
He saw that there was an Earth Dragon Python, silently crawling behind Teacher Xiong.
"Danger!"
"Teacher, be careful behind you!"
Su Yun roared, and at the same time, his figure darted out. Teacher Xiong was originally engaged in combat with the Earth Dragon Python, but upon hearing Su Yun's call, he instinctively moved his body to the side.
Swoosh!
An Earth Dragon Python suddenly slammed into the position where his body had been!
The head of the Earth Dragon Python was extremely tough! Being hit from behind like this, even if it didn't die, it would need to lie in bed for at least half a month!
Teacher Xiong's back was covered in cold sweat from the shock, and he didn't have time to think too much. He revealed a fierce look in his eyes, and with a clap of his hands, he grabbed the body of the Earth Dragon Python.
"Second soul skill, Mountain Moving Force!"
The second yellow hundred-year-old soul ring behind Teacher Xiong instantly lit up. Boundless soul power condensed on his hands, and the terrifying force acted on the body of the Earth Dragon Python halfway through.
A loud neigh erupted from the Earth Dragon Python's mouth!
Swish!
However, at this moment, the other Earth Dragon Python that had been in combat with Teacher Xiong seized the opportunity when he attacked.
It lunged from the side.
Its blood-filled mouth suddenly opened, revealing sharp white teeth.
At the same time, its massive body bent, seemingly ready to crush Teacher Xiong into a lump of flesh at any moment!
Once entangled by the Earth Dragon Python's body, even a power-type Soul Master like Teacher Xiong would find it difficult to break free!
"Trouble!"
Teacher Xiong sensed the proximity of the Earth Dragon Python but was already too late.
Could he really lose his life here?
Swish!
However, just as Teacher Xiong was about to express his dismay, a long spear suddenly swept across from outside his line of sight, directly stabbing the Earth Dragon Python that was charging towards him!
"Teacher Xiong, I'll hold him off for you. You quickly deal with this Earth Dragon Python!"
Su Yun left behind these words, his feet stepping lightly.
Gripping the long spear in his hand, taking advantage of the opportunity to stab the Earth Dragon Python in the eye, he once again fiercely swung the spear towards the head of the Earth Dragon Python!
"Bang!"
The Earth Dragon Python's strength was formidable, but facing Su Yun's extremely fast attack, it didn't even have time to react.
The powerful thrust directly knocked the Earth Dragon Python's body askew once again.
This caused the Earth Dragon Python's anger to skyrocket to its peak!
However.
Before it could prepare to strike, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of it.
"Beast! It was you who attacked me just now!"
Teacher Xiong's first soul skill!
Bear Step!
Not only could it increase strength, but it could also temporarily increase speed!
"Get down!"
Teacher Xiong's chopping hand directly knocked down the Earth Dragon Python, leaving it half-dead, collapsed on the ground!
...
Because of Su Yun's assistance, Teacher Xiong easily subdued the two Earth Dragon Pythons.
The twin brothers thanked Su Yun and each took a dagger to go for the finishing blow, starting to absorb the soul rings of the Earth Dragon Pythons.
"Su Yun, I really appreciate your help just now."
"If it weren't for you, I would have almost lost my life just now."
Teacher Xiong patted Su Yun's shoulder, sincerely expressing his gratitude:
"It seems that I misunderstood you. Your spear skills are indeed not bad."
Originally, he thought Su Yun bringing a spear into the Soul Beast Forest was unnecessary.
Now it seemed.
It was precisely Su Yun's "unnecessary" action that saved his life.
"It's just luck."
Glancing at the approaching night.
Su Yun modestly replied, "But tomorrow, I'll rely on you guys for my soul beast search."
"Haha, of course."
"Rest assured, with me around, I'll definitely find the best hundred-year soul beast for you."
"By the way, kid, have you figured out what kind of soul beast you want to find?"
Teacher Xiong suddenly asked.
Su Yun smiled slightly.
Of course, he had already figured it out.
The soul beast he wanted to find was a rare plant-type soul beast hidden deep in the Soul Beast Forest—
Lazy Tree.
