Chapter 18 Destiny
Wang Nan was awakened by a shock.
Before daybreak, bursts of roars were heard from the mixed area of the Star Dou Great Forest. Trees kept falling down, and a large group of hundred-year and thousand-year-old soul beasts fled frantically to the periphery.
Wang Nan walked out of the tent and saw Yan Shaozhe looking into the depths of the forest with a serious expression.
"Teacher, what happened?" Ma Xiaotao from the other side also came over.
"I'm wondering too." Yan Shaozhe frowned, "It's possible that a very powerful soul beast appeared in the mixed zone, which caused the other low-level soul beasts to flee continuously, but..."
Yan Shaozhe did not say the second half of the sentence. With his strength, he naturally knew that the soul beasts in the Xingdou Great Forest were also managed. How could the person in the core area allow such chaos to happen?
"Then aren't we going to get spirit rings?" Ma Xiaotao also looked towards the mixed area like Yan Shaozhe did, but with her current strength she could not see anything except dense trees.
"No, wait a moment." Yan Shaozhe's mental power fell behind the group of soul beasts.
There were soul beasts running relatively slowly, and a few of them were huge and particularly eye-catching.
Yan Shaozhe glanced at Wang Nan calmly.
These soul beasts are not good at running, but they all have outstanding strength. Once they start fighting, the earth will shake. They are all good choices for Wang Nan.
"You two stay here and don't move. I'll be back soon." After Yan Shaozhe said this, he disappeared in a flash, leaving Wang Nan and Ma Xiaotao looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Don't worry." Ma Xiaotao found a seat and sat down. She didn't know if she was talking to Wang Nan or herself. "I'm still here. The teacher won't abandon us."
Wang Nan looked around and saw that due to the aura Yan Shaozhe had just revealed, the nearby soul beasts had already run away. Seeing that there was no danger, he simply sat down.
"My martial spirit is a little special. I can't fully control its power." Ma Xiaotao said as she used a branch to dig out the ashes from the bonfire. "So the teacher will limit my daily training time and not let me have too much contact with other people, for fear that I will hurt others."
Wang Nan looked into Ma Xiaotao's pale pink eyes and listened to her childhood stories. After a whole day of getting along, he found that Ma Xiaotao was just more lively and talkative at this time, and was far less irritable than she would be later. Perhaps that was due to the influence of her martial spirit.
One person talked and the other listened, and time passed by minute by minute. Yan Shaozhe did not return until the sun rose and the restless soul beasts in the mixed zone calmed down. With a "bang", a huge soul beast fell to the ground.
This is a Wurm, more precisely, a Gronwurm.
Its body was covered with dark yellow scales, its limbs were thick, it had a pair of broken horns on its head, its back was high and bulged like a hill, and its tail ended in a spindle shape, which was still flapping and attacking the air indiscriminately.
"Although the same soul beast provides different soul skills on different martial souls, according to the existing records of Shrek, the soul skills that Yanggang Asian Dragon can provide are all range soul skills, which should meet your needs."
As Yan Shaozhe spoke, he pressed down with one hand, and the soul beast soon fainted.
"Its weak point is in the neck. Come over and get the spirit ring when you are ready."
Wang Nan took a deep breath, released the Panlong Stick and stabbed it out fiercely. Soon, a purple soul ring slowly rose.
He knew that the next battle would depend on him.
Seeing the soul beast appear in the sea of spirits for the third time, Wang Nan was no longer surprised. As soon as the Yangang Yalong appeared, he rushed forward with his stick. Wang Nan could teleport at will in the sea of spirits, and he was invincible against the soul beast that was not good at speed. But after all, it was a thousand-year soul beast, and the Yangang Yalong had outstanding defense. After several minutes of attacks, no substantial damage was caused.
Wang Nan had no choice but to stop attacking. With the current fighting style, he might not be able to defeat it even if he fought until dark, not to mention that he had to get back outside as soon as possible to absorb the spirit ring. After thinking about it, he still had to rely on the ball of light above his head.
The first two times he absorbed spirit rings, he was captured by the ball of light when the spirit beast attacked, which allowed him to learn additional skills. So now, he had to lure the rock dragon in front of him to take the initiative.
Thinking of this, Wang Nan stared at Yangang Yalong's eyes and moved forward tentatively step by step.
The rock dragon was first awakened by a terrifying aura, then had its horns cut off by someone's palm while escaping, and then was knocked unconscious, turning into a spirit ring without any consciousness. When it regained consciousness, it found itself in an unfamiliar environment, and was hit by hundreds of sticks for no reason, and was stunned for a moment.
It was not until it saw Wang Nan's provocative look that it realized it was being attacked.
With a roar, the Yangang Yalong raised a strong wind and blew towards Wang Nan.
Wang Nan was not surprised but happy, and continued to move forward in this strong wind. I am not afraid of you taking action, I am just afraid of you not taking action.
The Yanggang Dragon raised its front legs and slapped them forward twice in the air. Its horns flashed yellow and ripples spread out from the soles of its feet to the surroundings.
Wang Nan's face turned pale, and he felt as if his entire spiritual sea was shaken.
A thousand-year-old soul beast alone has such power. If it absorbs soul rings of even older years in the future, I don’t know if I can withstand it.
But now is not the time to think about these things. Relying on the home advantage, Wang Nan kept flashing and landed on the back of the Yangang Yalong. While avoiding the attacks, the Panlong Stick kept falling.
The Rock Dragon roared again, and the thick scales on its back stood up one after another, and its entire back shook continuously.
It's now.
Wang Nan felt something in his heart and looked up, just in time to see the ball of light shining brightly. The next moment, the Yangang Yalong under him disappeared.
Yan Shaozhe had been keeping an eye on Wang Nan, and only felt relieved when he saw his breathing gradually stabilize.
He had just been away for such a long time, naturally not just to find a fleeing soul beast, he also went to see the source of the unrest.
Wang Nan needed a spirit ring that could provide range attacks. The next day, a spirit beast riot occurred, and among the escaping spirit beasts there happened to be a suitable rock dragon. The whole thing seemed to be arranged by someone behind the scenes.
However, when he arrived at the source of the unrest, he found nothing except the corpse of a soul beast that had lost its head. There was no trace of other people or soul beasts, and he did not find any hidden tricks left by others in the body of the soul beast.
Now that he saw that Wang Nan had successfully begun to absorb the spirit ring, Yan Shaozhe could only regard this as a coincidence.
Maybe it's fate.
