A few days later, Cheng Xiao, Tang San and Xiao Wu set out together and headed for the Soul Hunting Forest under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Hall.
"That is the ghost vine, about three hundred years old, and it is my second soul ring. It is considered a relatively ferocious plant-based soul beast..."
"This is the bitter bamboo, the greenest plant-based soul beast, which can promote the growth of blue silver grass..."
"This is the Tengu Gourd..."
Thanks to the master's teachings, Tang San has a deep understanding of soul beasts, and he can easily pick up knowledge related to various soul beasts he has seen along the way.
Cheng Xiao thought to himself that he might not be able to do this. Although he knew these soul beasts, he did not know much about their various characteristics. It seems that Yu Xiaogang is not useless. At least his knowledge summary is quite good.
"This is a soul-binding vine. Be careful, don't get close to it. It is a parasitic soul beast, usually parasitic on trees. If a creature gets close, it will cause the soul-binding vine to react, entangle the approaching person and finally suffocate him to death, turning him into nutrients for the tree he is parasitic on."
"This soul-binding vine should be nearly five hundred years old. Don't be too nervous. It won't attack actively. It will only react when its vines are touched. It is a soul beast with very low intelligence."
Cheng Xiao narrowed his eyes and murmured, "Five hundred years..."
"Let's just use him!"
Cheng Xiao is temporarily unable to awaken the shadow to become a soldier, and can only use the basic shadow power, which is similar to the power of an ordinary martial spirit.
In this case, it is more appropriate to take the control route or the sensitive attack assassin route in the early stage.
In order to deal with Tang San, who may turn against him at any time, Cheng Xiao feels that he still needs to have a way to deal with Tang San.
He was just an ordinary person in his previous life, and his various fancy methods are naturally not as good as Tang San, who was born in the Tang Sect.
Tang San's most difficult means to deal with are four types: Hidden Weapon, Clear Sky Hammer, Ghost Shadow, and Crane Control and Dragon Capture.
He has no way to deal with hidden weapons for the time being, so he can ignore them. Tang Hao once told Tang San not to use the Clear Sky Hammer easily. If Tang San is not forced into a corner, the Clear Sky Hammer can be ignored for the time being. Tai Chi is profound and uses softness to overcome hardness, which is enough to deal with the capture method of Crane Control and Dragon Capture.
In the end, only Ghost Shadow is left. Cheng Xiao needs to find a soul skill that can limit his body movement!
And the Soul Binding Vine is likely to provide a control skill.
Cheng Xiao plans to take a gamble.
Hearing this, Tang San was shocked: "Xiao Cheng, are you confused? This Soul Binding Vine is five hundred years old! The absorption period of the first soul ring cannot exceed four hundred and twenty-three years!"
Cheng Xiao smiled and said, "I'm not confused. Have you forgotten your own teacher's research?"
"The strength of the soul master's body determines the upper limit of the soul ring, and it is very difficult to strengthen the human body, so there is a limit to the age of soul rings in a general sense."
Yu Xiaogang's theory is not correct, or in other words, it is not complete.
Cheng Xiao knows very well that the absorption period of soul rings is related to the quality of martial soul, physical strength and soul power, but he doesn't need to help Yu Xiaogang improve the theory, so he won't say more.
"Then can I infer that if my body is stronger than that of ordinary people, I can withstand soul rings with a higher age? My current physical fitness is far superior to that of my peers. According to the theory, I can absorb a longer soul ring age. I want to try it."
As a traverser, Cheng Xiao is confident that his mental strength is stronger than that of ordinary people. Although his martial soul has conflicts and can use less power, it is still a god-level martial soul in essence.
In addition, he had been training hard for the past few years, and Tai Chi made up for his innate deficiencies, so his physical condition was also improving.
All three conditions for leapfrogging were met, so how could he be willing to give it a try? This Soul Binding Vine is over 500 years old, and it is only a few decades old. If it is absorbed, the danger is still relatively small. It is just right to use it to test where your limit is.
Xiao Wu heard this and immediately became anxious and grabbed Cheng Xiao's clothes: "No, I don't agree. Xiao Cheng, this is very dangerous. Even if this theory is true, how can you be sure that your limit is 500 years?"
Tang San saw that Xiao Wu was worried about Cheng Xiao. For some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but after the two and a half years of the three of them getting along, Tang San also knew Xiao Wu's temper, so he pursed his lips and didn't say much.
Cheng Xiao held Xiao Wu's hand and took it off her clothes, and then persuaded her in a gentle voice: "It's okay, I'm not like you who can follow the rules step by step, I want to fight for myself."
Xiao Wu's soft little hand seemed boneless in the palm of her hand, as delicate as silk.
Seeing Cheng Xiao's action, Tang San's pupils shrank suddenly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and a nameless jealous fire ignited in his heart. His hand unconsciously touched the cuffs.
But thinking of Xiao Wu by his side, he finally moved his hands away from his sleeves, lowered his head and clenched his teeth, forcing himself not to watch this scene.
He knew very well that Xiao Wu liked Cheng Xiao. If he was Xiao Wu's brother in name and reality, then Cheng Xiao was another "brother" in name only.
Although he occupied a high position in Xiao Wu's heart, Cheng Xiao's weight was also not small. Every time Cheng Xiao exercised, Xiao Wu would wait by her side no matter how bored she was.
In Xiao Wu's opinion, both of them were very good to her, and she was unwilling to give up any of them. If the two "brothers" quarreled over this little thing, Xiao Wu would definitely be angry.
"Humph, I don't care, you just can't choose this. Otherwise I won't help you." Xiao Wu didn't notice Tang San's abnormality at all, and pursed her lips and snorted.
"Don't worry, it's okay." Cheng Xiao saw that she couldn't convince Xiao Wu, so she could only shift her attention to Tang San: "Besides, Xiao San should be very confident, right? This is your teacher's theory."
"Ah? Uh, um, well..."
The two looked at Tang San at the same time, which made Tang San feel uneasy. The two's eyes were like a sharp blade, tearing open the darkness in his heart and exposing it to others. Tang San panicked and nodded in agreement.
"Look, Xiao San also agrees. You don't trust me, but you don't trust Xiao San?"
Seeing that Tang San and Cheng Xiao had the same opinion, Xiao Wu pursed her lips and could only agree reluctantly.
"Then let's make a promise in advance. Once we notice something wrong, we must give up and not be stubborn!"
Cheng Xiao nodded in agreement.
After the agreement, Tang San and Xiao Wu killed the Soul Binding Vine. The Soul Binding Vine's intelligence was not high, and its attack method was relatively simple, so it was far less dangerous than other soul beasts.
Not long after, Tang San and Xiao Wu cut off all the vines of the Soul Binding Vine, making it lose its attack power, and Cheng Xiao gave it the final blow.
A yellow soul ring condensed from the Soul Binding Vine, and Cheng Xiao did not hesitate, and directly crossed his legs to start absorbing it.
Watching Cheng Xiao's actions, Tang San's eyes flickered, and for some reason, a trace of evil thoughts arose in his heart, hoping that Cheng Xiao would fail and explode to death.
He shook his head and laughed at himself: "If he succeeds, it can also verify the teacher's theory, which will be beneficial to both the teacher and my future practice. If I really want him to die, I have to do it myself."
"What are you doing?" Xiao Wu saw Tang San's actions and was a little confused.
"Ahem, nothing, just a little sleepy. Shake my head to wake up."
