Chapter 14: Warning, Lost.
Then, the yellow spirit ring beside Xuan Mo lit up again.
This time, Xuan Mo waved his hand.
The rocks scattered on the ground suddenly floated in mid-air.
Then, Xuan Mo clenched his right hand, emitting yellow light.
The floating rocks converged towards Xuan Mo's right hand at an extremely fast speed.
As the rocks touched Xuan Mo's right hand, they gradually formed a rock shield. In Xuan Mo's hand, he manipulated it with ease.
This shocked Flender completely.
He had originally thought that Xuan Mo's hidden ability was at most a supplementary effect to the previous support, achieving a superb spirit skill.
But he had never expected the hidden power of Xuan Mo's first spirit skill to be so powerful. It could directly control the earth element, a capability rarely seen even in the fifth spirit skill.
"This spirit skill of yours is not just good. It's absolutely powerful."
Flender looked at the boastful Xuan Mo and couldn't help but laugh and scold.
However, the effect of this soul skill did make Flender nod with satisfaction. He said, "It's been almost a month since I came out. It's finally not wasted. Mo, with your current soul power, how long will your first soul skill last?"
Xuan Mo pondered Flender's question.
"In my current condition, this soul skill can only last for three minutes at most. After that, my soul power will be completely depleted. I need to fully recover before I can use it again."
Flender thought for a moment, then frowned, obviously feeling that the duration of this soul skill was a bit short.
But soon, his brow relaxed.
After all, this soul ring was only the first soul ring, and its power was already extremely powerful. If it lasted any longer, it would be too incredible.
Thinking of this, Flender was instantly relieved, and then looked at Xuan Mo and sighed.
"Boy Mo, you are really a little monster!"
Xuan Mo chuckled and said, "Uncle, I am going to enter your Shrek Academy and become a student there. If I am not a monster, then what qualifications do I have?"
After hearing Xuan Mo's words, Flanders stroked his beard and smiled...
But soon.
Flanders looked at Xuan Mo with a slightly serious look, and finally reminded him: "Mo boy, remember, you must not disclose the specific age of your first soul ring."
"Absorbing soul rings beyond the age limit is a big deal for all soul masters. Because from ancient times to the present, it's not that no one has tried it, but the final result is that their bodies exploded and died."
"Once the age of your soul ring is known to those with ulterior motives, it will definitely make some people jealous, thinking that you have mastered some method of absorbing soul rings beyond the age limit. Or like the Spirit Hall, if they know that your soul ring is beyond the age limit, they will invite you to join directly. If this really happens, it would be terrible."
Flanders stared at Xuan Mo with the sharp eyes of an owl, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. You boy, don't do things that attract attention!"
Xuan Mo felt a little guilty when he was looked at by Flanders, and then nodded and agreed repeatedly.
Xuan Mo felt guilty because, given his temperament, if something really happened, he would probably just reveal his spirit ring or age to embarrass his opponent.
Then…
"Alright, Mo, get ready and recover your spirit power. We've been in the Star Dou Great Forest for almost a month now. It's time to return to Soto City."
"Okay."
Xuan Mo didn't hesitate. He knew the Star Dou Great Forest was fraught with danger, and staying there for too long could easily lead to accidents. Therefore, it was best to leave as quickly as possible to avoid any potential trouble.
So, Xuan Mo took a large amount of food from his "Vajra" and began to eat. Because of his unique martial spirit, eating was the fastest way for him to recover and cultivate his spirit power.
Not long after, Xuan Mo, his spirit power restored, stuffed the Earth Dragon Emperor's corpse into his "Vajra" and then, with Flanders, set out on his journey back to Soto City.
...
Ten days later.
Somewhere on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Buzz! Buzz!" Buzz..."
In the dense jungle, a dense "black cloud" relentlessly pursued a small but sturdy figure ahead.
"Oh my god! I didn't even take a little honey from you. Why are you so relentless? I saw that dead bear get away with it, and it was fine, but when I got here, my whole family came out. Is that really necessary?"
Xuan Mo kept glancing back at the dense swarm of black jade bees behind him, making his scalp tingle.
Although these black jade bees were only ten-year-old soul beasts, Xuan Mo believed that ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts might not be as terrifying as these black jade bees.
It turned out that five days ago, Xuan Mo and Flanders had discovered that they had lost their way in the Star Dou Great Forest.
It sounded absurd—a Soul Sage-level powerhouse could actually get lost in the Star Dou Great Forest—but it was true.
And even more terrifying, it happened five days ago.
Xuan Mo, this big foodie, actually ate up all the food, including Flanders'.
Of course, eating Flanders' food wasn't free; it was bought on credit for 500 gold soul coins. Xuan Mo was deeply offended by his price-gouging, so he switched his name from "Uncle" to "Uncle the Exploiter."
But it clearly didn't work on Flanders.
However, once Xuan Mo finished his food, Flanders became equally infuriated. Shamelessly, he simply placed the blame on Xuan Mo, forcing him to fend for himself. Of course, Flanders remained on guard, protecting Xuan Mo from harm.
Meanwhile, Xuan Mo was being pursued so relentlessly by the Black Jade Bees because he had long heard of the delicious honey they produce.
So, just a while ago, Xuan Mo had luckily spotted a powerful King Kong Bear stealing honey from a Black Jade Bee hive. After the King Kong Bear finished stealing, Xuan Mo emptied the hive. This led to the Black Jade Bees' discovery and the ferocious pursuit of Xuan Mo.
"You profiteer uncle, I'm about to be caught up, and you're still just watching!"
As soon as Xuan Mo finished speaking, a black figure suddenly rushed out and quickly carried Xuan Mo away from the area.
After escaping danger, Xuan Mo sat on a rock, panting. It was obvious that the exertion just now was still a bit too much for him.
"How can you be so useless? You were chased so miserably by a group of soul beasts that had only entered the tenth level of cultivation. Tsk tsk tsk..."
Xuan Mo turned his head and looked at Flender lying on his back on the tree branch. He was almost angry to death.
Then he cursed Flender's ancestors in his heart, listing them all.
Of course, he verbally retorted, "Uncle profiteer, how dare you say that? If you, a dignified Soul Sage, hadn't led us astray, would we have ended up in this world?"
He had a good time talking, but his head suffered, and he couldn't avoid being beaten by Flender...
