After Tang Wutong had left, the Titan Giant Ape said to the Sky Azure Bull Python, "Big Brother, from the looks of it, Little Qi is very fond of that boy. If you ask me, this kind of a fellow with a complicated identity and no special ability on him should just be directly thrown from the Clear Sky Peak. That boy has a coarse appearance. How is he worthy of our Little Qi?"
The Sky Azure Bull Python glared at him and said, "You've lived to such an old age. How are you still so reckless? Can't you see that Little Qi has truly fallen for him? Even if that young man named Xu Sanshi doesn't have anything special on him, the key is still to see what his character is like. If it were any other ordinary person, would they be worthy of our Little Qi?"
The Titan Giant Ape seemed a little afraid of this big brother of his and hurriedly said, "Big Brother, then what do you say we should do? I just now tested his ability. Although his cultivation is not high, his foundation can still barely be considered stable, with a great momentum of being as unmoving as a mountain. And, what he cultivates is also the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Technique. Besides the Mysterious Heaven Technique, there are no traces of other cultivation methods on his body. What surprised me the most was his martial soul's mutation. Originally, I had wanted to give him a show of might, to let him know how powerful I was. But this little fellow was actually able to control his divine beast's bloodline and combine it with his own soul power to fight against the pressure I had released, and he had held on. In terms of martial soul quality, he is indeed quite good."
The Sky Azure Bull Python nodded and said, "Our test for him, besides the aspect of his ability, we should pay more attention to the aspect of his character. We need to discuss this matter carefully..."
The Titan Giant Ape sighed. "If only the son of fortune, Huo Yuhao, could be fond of our Little Qi. With Little Qi's charm, wouldn't that boy have to kneel over and apologize to us two brothers for the matter before?"
"Do not mention that boy again!" The moment the Sky Azure Bull Python thought of Huo Yuhao, he got angry. If not for having to deal with that boy, he wouldn't have had to face the Beast God Di Tian. Even if he had evolved into a divine beast, in terms of bloodline level, he only had a thin true dragon's bloodline. And Di Tian was originally a generation's Dragon King.
So even if it were to fight Di Tian one-on-one, the bloodline suppression would still restrain him. After all, among soul beasts, the bloodline basically decided everything.
Xu Sanshi did not know that being with Tang Wutong would bring him trouble. After using his soul power to condense a stream of water to wash his face, he walked to the only window in the room and looked out.
The window was arched and was covered with a layer of a crystal glass. As far as the eye could see, a rolling sea of clouds came into view, like a fairyland on earth. The beauty of it even made him feel a wave of a dazzling fascination. Recalling how he had previously released his soul power to resist the pressure of the Second Uncle, Xu Sanshi could clearly feel his own improvement.
He jumped onto the stone bed and sat down cross-legged. The gains of today needed to be carefully thought through and consolidated through meditation, to firmly remember this improvement. He began to circulate his Mysterious Heaven Technique with all his might, taking in the pure worldly spiritual qi around him and transforming it into soul power.
The silk-like spiritual qi, under the drive of the Mysterious Heaven Technique's rich soul power, happily fused with Xu Sanshi's own soul power. The Xuanwu martial soul had unconsciously been released again. Two yellow, two purple, and two black, six soul rings' light alternately sparkled, plating the entire room with a layer of a pulsating luster.
As the closest of lovers, how could he be willing for the gap between him and Tang Wutong to be too wide? Especially after entering this Clear Sky Castle today, the stimulation he had received was particularly great. Although Tang Wutong's Second Uncle had not said it clearly, his meaning was clearly that he was not worthy to be with Tang Wutong. Xu Sanshi had, since he was young, been raised in luxury and had developed a stubborn temper. So at a time like this, he had to improve his strength as soon as possible and to get the approval of Tang Wutong's family.
A surge of powerful soul energy rose, and Xu Sanshi's entire presence began to shift. Solid, steadfast, and imbued with the vast, primordial aura of the Xuanwu martial soul—it all spread and swelled within the small room—
One after another of a circle of a black halo of light was continuously released from the Xuanwu martial soul. After this black light had combined with the purest worldly spiritual power around Xu Sanshi, and then accompanied by Xu Sanshi's circulation of his skill, his breathing in and out, it had been sucked into his own body.
Xu Sanshi only felt his dantian begin to have a feeling of a distending pain. And accompanied by the release of the Xuanwu's aura, the painful feeling also began to become stronger and stronger.
But how tenacious was his character? Back then, while pursuing Jiang Nannan, he had stubbornly endured endless contempt and cold ridicule from others. Compared to that, a little pain was nothing at all.
Soon, Xu Sanshi had experienced why Tang Wutong had said that this cultivation room was a great opportunity for him.
Xu Sanshi had discovered that ever since he had entered this cultivation room, the pure worldly spiritual qi that he had absorbed from heaven and earth, after it had merged into his own dantian, when his dantian had begun to feel a distending pain, this natural energy of heaven and earth had on the contrary quietly merged in, bringing waves of a cool and refreshing feeling, greatly reducing his pain. Even in his brain, waves of a cool and refreshing feeling were continuously rising, stimulating his spirit to be particularly concentrated and clear.
The soul power fluctuation had clearly become stronger and stronger. One after another of a vast worldly primordial power had gathered from all directions of the cultivation room and had joined in Xu Sanshi's own soul power.
The reason why his dantian would have a feeling of a distending pain was precisely because the power of his Xuanwu martial soul was in a continuous state of evolution! At this time, to want to stimulate and guide it to successfully mutate naturally required a large amount of a pure worldly primordial power to be injected.
The pain was within a tolerable range. And Xu Sanshi's own originally viscous soul power, under the control of his powerful will, was always circulating in his body at a stable rhythm. After one cycle, he could clearly feel his own cultivation had improved by a section, at least more than his cultivation in the past ten days.
The cultivation room was influenced by the Xuanwu's aura, and even more surgely was drawing out the worldly primordial power for Xu Sanshi to absorb. When the worldly primordial power and the Xuanwu's power had met, in their mutual fusion, it had on the contrary made the Xuanwu's bloodline become even purer. Some of the subtle changes, even Xu Sanshi himself was unable to feel them too clearly.
On the third floor of the Clear Sky Castle.
The Sky Azure Bull Python sat there quietly, his two brows slightly furrowed. The Titan Giant Ape was sitting not far from his side, a playful look on his face.
"This boy's guts are really not small! And he really knows a good thing. This spirit-gathering cultivation room, even Little Qi hasn't enjoyed it many times. It's a bargain for him," the Titan Giant Ape's mood seemed very relaxed.
The Sky Azure Bull Python glanced at him and said, "You think Little Qi can calm her heart and stay in there to cultivate?"
The Titan Giant Ape chuckled and said, "That's not certain. What if our Little Qi decides to work hard and improve one day?"
The Sky Azure Bull Python said indifferently, "Speaking of which, from the way that boy is desperately cultivating, what else can you see?"
The Titan Giant Ape said cheerfully, "What? He's not giving up! Hearing my mockery, what else can there be? Anyway, to want to be with Little Qi, he has to pass our two hurdles no matter what."
"Hmph," the Sky Azure Bull Python snorted coldly and stood up. "If it were you, and you had gone to the home of the girl you love, but had been met with a white-eyed glare and contempt, and then had discovered that this place could quickly improve your cultivation, but would surely cause the dissatisfaction of the girl's family, what would you do? The reason he dares to do this is precisely out of his obsession and trust for Little Qi. He believes that his beloved Little Qi will surely protect him."
"Of course, there is another reason. It should be that his Xuanwu martial soul, which has evolved halfway, has been stimulated by the pure worldly spiritual qi drawn by the spirit-gathering cultivation room. He has discovered this opportunity and is trying to complete his own martial soul's evolution."
"A martial soul's evolution?" The Titan Giant Ape suddenly thought of Little Qi's previous introduction of Xu Sanshi. "That's right. This boy's original martial soul was just an ordinary Xuanming Turtle. A turtle bastard!"
