"I accept your proposal, but I want to clarify something beforehand." Cheng Xiao smiled readily, his voice becoming colder. "Although I don't need to hunt Soul Beasts to condense my Soul Rings, my Martial Soul is also special. I will come to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beasts when I need to, and I hope the two seniors won't interfere then."
"Human, are you threatening us?" The Sky Azure Bull Python's pupils constricted, and it spoke coldly.
It never expected that this human would dare to make demands of them. Didn't he know what kind of beings he was facing? If it weren't for Xiao Wu's sake, it would have crushed this human in front of it like an ant.
"I'm not threatening you; I'm just stating a fact." Cheng Xiao spread his hands helplessly and said lightly, "I don't want to swear in front of you, or in front of Xiao Wu, that I won't hunt Soul Beasts. In my eyes, there are no so-called evil Soul Beasts or good Soul Beasts. As long as I have a need, I will kill Soul Beasts without hesitation, just as Soul Beasts kill Soul Masters."
Upon hearing this, the ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts watching nearby couldn't help themselves. This human kid in front of them was too arrogant! With just the strength of a single ring, he dared to speak so boldly!
"Heh, you are quite true to yourself." The Sky Azure Bull Python glanced coldly at Cheng Xiao and said, "Human, you are indeed somewhat different. For Xiao Wu's sake, I agree to your terms."
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao grinned and clasped his hands, saying, "Alright, since Senior Azure Sky has agreed, this junior should also fulfill his promise."
After speaking, Cheng Xiao wasn't intimidated. He sat down cross-legged in front of the two emperors, Xiao Wu, and all the Soul Beasts nearby.
Cheng Xiao closed his eyes, sat with his legs crossed, and made a strange hand seal with his hands in front of him. His chest rose and fell slightly. With each breath, dark purple air currents swirled around him, emanating from his body.
"Big brother, I feel like this kid might actually succeed?" The Titan Giant Ape looked at Cheng Xiao, who was sitting on the ground, and couldn't help but whisper.
The Sky Azure Bull Python didn't answer the Titan Giant Ape's question. At this moment, its gaze was firmly fixed on Cheng Xiao. If this human could succeed, then given time for him to grow, perhaps the fate of the Soul Beast race would change!
"Cheng Xiao, you will definitely succeed, right?" Xiao Wu's beautiful eyes were fixed on Cheng Xiao in front of her. She didn't know why, but she was subconsciously worried for Cheng Xiao.
Time passed minute by minute. When night fell, most of the Soul Beasts that had been watching Cheng Xiao condense his soul ring had left. Having watched from morning until evening, many Soul Beasts already had an inkling of the answer. They just hadn't stepped forward to tear this human apart out of respect for the two forest emperors.
Xiao Wu, the Sky Azure Bull Python, and the Titan Giant Ape were still waiting in place. At this time, Xiao Wu was already sitting on the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder. After waiting for a whole day, she was also feeling a little sleepy.
However, to be the first thing Cheng Xiao saw when he opened his eyes, Xiao Wu didn't sleep. Instead, she fought off her sleepiness, waiting for Cheng Xiao to finish condensing.
"Soul Ring, condense!"
With the young man's low shout, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape's eyes lit up. They saw a Soul Ring slowly forming on Cheng Xiao.
Suddenly, a thick aura of death erupted from Cheng Xiao's body. In an instant, the two forest emperors' faces changed. Hastily protecting Xiao Wu, they stared intently at Cheng Xiao.
Behind Cheng Xiao, a God, as if born from darkness, slowly appeared. He had long, deep purple hair. Even though it was dark, a layer of black mist permeated the entire forest with his arrival.
Black armor covered his entire body, and his purple eyes under the mask of the helmet shone with a cold, ghostly light. Noticing the Sky Azure Bull Python and the others' gaze, he glanced over casually, immediately giving the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape the feeling of facing death.
As if warning the two forest emperors, the Shadow Monarch's body turned into a stream of brilliant fragments, finally merging into Cheng Xiao's body like a rainbow.
And with the Shadow Monarch's disappearance, the second Soul Ring swirling around Cheng Xiao also completely condensed at this moment. This second Soul Ring was still a deep, dark purple, but in Xiao Wu and the others' eyes, it was a yellow, hundred-year Soul Ring.
After condensing the Soul Ring, Cheng Xiao's mind was filled with some information. After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes.
Killing Intent: "Inflicts a terrifying effect on a designated enemy for one minute using a powerful aura. All ability attributes of the target will be reduced by fifty percent."
Invisibility: "Increases speed by thirty percent while in a state of invisibility. Invisibility is broken upon attacking or being attacked."
Cheng Xiao's mind gradually cleared, and he firmly grasped how to use the two skills, a sense of familiarity flooding his mind.
At this moment, less than one-tenth of Cheng Xiao's Shadow Power remained. Without the effects of temporary state recovery, the lack of Soul Power and Shadow Power in his body made him feel like he could fall asleep at any moment.
He braced his weakened body and stood up, taking a deep breath. Two dark purple Soul Rings rose from his feet. Due to the Shadow Power strengthening his body, the Soul Ring age he could now withstand had reached one thousand three hundred years.
The Soul Rings condensed by Shadow Power originated from Cheng Xiao himself. Unlike other Soul Masters, the age of each of his Soul Rings was not different, nor were the Soul Skills they brought different.
As Cheng Xiao's level increased, his Soul Rings would gradually increase in age, and the improvement in Soul Ring age would also bring some changes to Cheng Xiao's skills.
"Kid, I didn't expect you to really succeed." The Sky Azure Bull Python looked at the two yellow Soul Rings moving up and down on Cheng Xiao's body, and was also deeply shocked.
It hadn't expected this human to actually succeed. But what made it even more apprehensive was that the figure just now seemed to come from the abyss of death itself. A single glance had frozen all its blood.
It was a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast. Even in the world of Soul Masters, it was comparable to a ninety-five-level Title Douluo. Yet, just now, that figure's casual glance had completely defeated it.
Clearly, that figure's strength far surpassed level ninety-five. The Sky Azure Bull Python even vaguely felt that the other party was likely a legendary God, a divine-level powerhouse who had broken through level one hundred on the Douluo Continent!
Could it be that this human boy in front of it possessed the potential to become a God!
"Hehe, I hope Senior will fulfill your promise." Cheng Xiao, his face pale, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect. At this moment, he seemed to have overindulged, and his voice trembled.
"Human boy, do you think we Soul Beasts are the same as you humans?" The Sky Azure Bull Python glared at Cheng Xiao and said in a deep voice, "I will fulfill my promise. But before that, you should rest well. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll die here."
