Outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Three soul beasts, shrouded in black mist and resembling armored warriors, moved constantly. Wherever they passed, thousand-year soul beasts were mercilessly killed. Cheng Xiao, riding on the Ghost Tiger's back, watched the Man Faced Demon Spider and Fang hunt those thousand-year soul beasts. His eyes, like an ancient well, showed no emotion.
Cheng Xiao's current soul power level was only thirty-two. After the nine-thousand-year-old Ghost Tiger became a Shadow Soldier, its strength was suppressed to around four thousand years. Compared to its strength before, it was compressed to less than half of its original power.
Cheng Xiao was also very helpless about this. The Shadow Soldiers' level couldn't exceed their king's. No matter how strong they were before, after becoming a Shadow Soldier, their strength would increase with the king's level.
In other words, Cheng Xiao was currently too weak, so the strength of his Shadow Soldiers was also weak. However, after Cheng Xiao's level increased, the originally weak Shadow Soldiers would also improve.
At the current stage, the Ghost Leopard was the strongest among the Shadow Soldiers. Fang was currently around a thousand years old, because its strength before was only over nine hundred years. As for the Man Faced Demon Spider, its strength was also around four thousand years, after all, it had five thousand years of cultivation before.
After several hours, with the rapid expansion of the Shadow Soldiers, the thousand-year soul beasts lying in front of Cheng Xiao had reached fifteen. He had originally planned to hunt twenty, but after some thought, he decided to leave five spots open, in case he encountered suitable soul beasts and could immediately incorporate them into his ranks.
"This trip to the Star Dou Great Forest wasn't in vain; the harvest is pretty good." Cheng Xiao looked at the Shadow Soldiers surrounding him, and couldn't help but smile. Then, with a wave of his hand, all the Shadow Soldiers present turned into black mist and merged into his shadow.
He lowered his head and looked at his shadow. With the addition of more than a dozen Shadow Soldiers, his shadow seemed to have grown quite a bit.
He shook his head, and just as Cheng Xiao was about to get up and leave, a strange sensation was rapidly approaching him.
"This aura... at least a ten-thousand-year soul beast at the base level." Cheng Xiao's expression changed slightly. Immediately, the Shadow Force within him rapidly spread out. If he could turn a ten-thousand-year soul beast into a Shadow Soldier, the Shadow Soldiers' combat power would increase again!
"I just don't know if the remaining Shadow Force in my body is enough to condense them into Shadow Soldiers." Cheng Xiao muttered to himself, sensing the remaining Shadow Force within him.
As he spoke, a black ape, over two meters tall, slowly appeared in Cheng Xiao's Shadow Force detection range. Its opponents seemed to be two top-tier powerhouses, and besides those two, there was also a handsome young man sitting on a blue stone, who didn't seem to intend to get involved.
"This soul beast... seems to be a Three Eyed Demon Ape." From the feedback relayed by the Shadow Force, Cheng Xiao had already recognized this powerful soul beast.
The Three Eyed Demon Ape is different from ordinary ape-like soul beasts. It excels in both darkness and mental attributes, and its strength lies in its mental attribute. Not only can the mental attribute be used to attack, but more importantly, it allows it to possess intelligence beyond soul beasts of the same level. Moreover, the Three Eyed Demon Ape is different from ordinary soul beasts, possessing powerful abilities in the mental realm.
The Three Eyed Demon Ape was indeed powerful, but it hadn't been instantly killed facing two top-tier experts because of its strong mental attributes.
Let's go take a look. If there's a chance, turning this Three Eyed Demon Ape into a Shadow Soldier would be a good choice. Cheng Xiao's eyes flashed with purple light, and then he summoned the Ghost Tiger, heading towards another direction in the forest.
The outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.
A man wearing golden armor, standing on a giant Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and wearing heavy makeup was constantly surveying the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.
This person was Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, who had rushed from Martial Soul City. Under the Pope's orders, he had come to the Star Dou Great Forest, intending to recruit those two geniuses with innate full soul power into Martial Soul Hall.
"Seriously, where did those two kids go? Could two Soul Elders at level 30 really have gone into the inner region of the Star Dou Great Forest?" Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan couldn't help but think.
At this moment, because Cheng Xiao had used Shadow Force, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, who was floating in the sky, suddenly felt an unusual fluctuation of soul power. After hesitating for a moment, he decisively flew in that direction.
Although he still hadn't found the two, he had a clue. Perhaps he would find them?
At the same time, in a dense forest within the mixed region of the forest.
A man with golden hair looked at the Three Eyed Demon Ape, which was barely clinging to life. His eyes, gleaming with golden light, showed no emotion. With a gentle clench of his hand, a golden longsword, condensed from soul power, appeared in his grasp.
"Young master, are you sure you want to absorb this soul beast with dark attribute?" The thin, elderly man who had followed him couldn't help but ask.
"It doesn't matter." The golden-haired man didn't even glance at the old man. "I only need its mental attribute; the dark attribute won't affect me."
Hearing this, the thin, elderly man said no more. Instead, he held a golden spear and, along with another old man with an ugly appearance, vigilantly surveyed their surroundings, preventing anyone from disturbing the golden-haired man's absorption of the soul ring.
Pshhh—
The golden-haired man swiftly killed the Three Eyed Demon Ape. He immediately sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the soul ring. Gradually, five dazzling soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black—appeared on his body. This person was, in fact, a Soul King-level powerhouse! And the soul ring of the Three Eyed Demon Ape before him was precisely the sixth soul ring that he was absorbing!
Just after the golden-haired man absorbed the Soul Ring, in the dense forest, a pair of eyes, like black holes, looked over. Their deep gaze fell upon the Three Eyed Demon Ape in front of the golden-haired man, then glanced at the two old men guarding him, and slowly retracted.
In the forest, Cheng Xiao sighed softly. From the information relayed by the Ghost Leopard, those two old men were actually Title Douluo. And the golden-haired youth absorbing the Soul Ring wasn't low-level either. After absorbing this Soul Ring, his strength had also reached the Soul Emperor level. With such strength, they were probably from the Martial Soul Hall.
Damn it, I thought I could sneak over here and grab a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast to be a Shadow Soldier. Now, I can only wait for them to finish absorbing the Soul Ring and leave before summoning Shadow Soldiers. He leaned against a large tree and sat down, smiling wryly.
He already had a hunch. With two Title Douluo accompanying him, one skinny and one stocky, and a golden-haired Soul Master absorbing a Soul Ring, it was probably Qian Renxue, the mole in Heaven Dou Empire.
Time passed, minute by minute. Cheng Xiao couldn't help but peek. After so long, they should be done absorbing, right?
His gaze passed through the obstruction of the tree trunk and landed on the golden-haired man. He saw a sixth black Soul Ring faintly appearing on his body. It looked like he was about to finish absorbing it.
At this moment, a sharp gaze suddenly looked over. Cheng Xiao's body stiffened. Immediately afterward, a sharp whistling sound suddenly rang out, and a golden light fiercely pierced over.
"Who's there!"
