Chapter 67: Sky Blue Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape
As the Sky Blue Bull Python spoke, thunder surged from its mouth, preparing to attack Sword Douluo.
The Seven Killing Sword appeared in front of him, and Chen Xin stared at the massive beast with a serious expression, ready for battle.
At that moment, Xiao Wu angrily stepped in front of the Sky Blue Bull Python.
"Da Ming, what are you doing? This is my friend, you can't just attack!"
The Sky Blue Bull Python looked at Xiao Wu, confusion in its eyes.
"Xiao Wu, do you realize that the older person is a Title Douluo? He definitely saw through your true form. Step aside, I have to deal with him, or else you will be in danger later."
"That's not true, Da Ming. They knew my identity from the start, and they've never harmed me over all these years."
A trace of hesitation passed over Da Ming's face.
"Then... They must be planning to use you to get the soul ring of a Soul Saint, right?"
Not mentioning it was fine, but once Xiao Wu thought of something, her expression fell.
"Save it, Da Ming. Ning Bei said it himself—no one even wants the soul ring of a Soft Bone Rabbit!"
"..."
"No matter what you plan to do, leave here right now. We don't welcome humans."
The Sky Blue Bull Python still couldn't trust humans and issued an expulsion order.
Ning Bei wasn't in a rush; he was just waiting for Xiao Wu to explain things clearly.
Xiao Wu was furious when she heard that Da Ming wanted to expel Ning Bei and Chen Xin.
"Da Ming, I've already told you, they're my friends! You can't treat them like this. And you should try to feel my aura before you speak."
Hearing Xiao Wu's words, the Sky Blue Bull Python showed a hint of helplessness, then extended its spiritual senses toward her.
"What's going on? I can't sense your beast aura anymore. Did you break through to Soul Saint in just three years?"
Ning Bei, standing aside, rolled his eyes. With Xiao Wu's lazy attitude, where would she have such high cultivation? Was she a great saint?
"No, Da Ming, I'm just a Soul Sovereign. It's Ning Bei who created the Shape-shifting Pill for me, which hides my soul beast aura. I don't have to hide anymore."
"Oh, so there's such a miraculous thing?"
The Sky Blue Bull Python turned to Ning Bei, its gaze softening considerably.
"Human, thank you for helping Xiao Wu."
Ning Bei waved his hand, indicating it was nothing.
"Xiao Wu is my sister's best friend, and she's like a sister to me. You don't have to thank me."
Seeing that Da Ming and her friend had reconciled, Xiao Wu happily clapped her hands.
"Then, Da Ming, would you like to come to Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with me?"
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? The human world? I'm not going. I don't have the resolve to transform and start cultivating again."
Xiao Wu shook her head wisely.
"Da Ming, you don't need to transform and start cultivating again. Didn't I mention the Shape-shifting Pill?"
The Sky Blue Bull Python looked at Xiao Wu with surprise, its bull eyes gleaming.
"You mean, the Shape-shifting Pill works for me too? And I can keep my strength?"
"Yes, come with me and Er Ming to the human world. You know the upcoming tribulation is hard to survive. It's better to go out and look for opportunities."
Da Ming thought for a while, then looked back at Ning Bei.
"Human, can I trust you?"
Ning Bei didn't speak. He summoned the Dan Tower.
Ah Bao, Yao Yao, Ah Zhu , Chang´e, Xiao Die, and Wang Wang all appeared in front of him.
The Sky Blue Bull Python looked at the beasts, its eyes nearly popping out.
"These... These are the bloodlines of those beasts?"
Stunned, Da Ming was soon distracted by the Dan Tower in Ning Bei's hand.
"Human, why does your martial soul attract me? I can't resist this temptation."
Ning Bei smiled. "If you could resist, that would be strange."
"My Dan Tower can help soul beasts increase their cultivation. The first floor adds one year of cultivation per day, the second floor adds two years, and so on, with the seventh floor adding 64 years a day."
"What? So if I stay on the seventh floor for five years, I can become a 100,000-year soul beast?"
Ning Bei found it strange. "Your soul beast math is quite good?" He then shook his head.
"Not just that. In five years, I'll break through to Soul Douluo level. After that, the eighth floor will add 128 years of cultivation per day."
"Then what are we waiting for? Give me the Shape-shifting Pill!"
Ning Bei, Xiao Wu, and Chen Xin all looked at the cunning giant beast with exasperation. So this is the true nature of the Sky Blue Bull Python.
Ning Bei took out the pre-prepared Shape-shifting Pill from the soul tool, a golden pill appearing in his hand. He then tossed it to the giant beast.
The Sky Blue Bull Python opened its massive mouth and inhaled. It wasn't clear if it swallowed the pill or not.
After a while, its body began emitting a blue-black mist, and its form gradually shrank until it stopped at about two meters in height.
When the mist dissipated, a middle-aged man wearing a blue snake robe appeared in front of the three.
The man looked down at his body, curiously examining his hands.
"This is what it feels like to be human? Quite fascinating."
Xiao Wu, seeing Da Ming transform into a human, eagerly asked, "Da Ming, how's your strength?"
Da Ming closed his eyes and focused for a moment.
"About the equivalent of a 96th-level human soul power. Not bad."
Chen Xin nodded. That was indeed impressive. Although not his match, taking Da Ming down wouldn't be easy either.
At this moment, Xiao Wu looked at Ning Bei with tear-filled eyes.
"Ning Bei, why didn't you show this earlier? I wouldn't have had to start over with my cultivation. Look, now I'm just a Soul Sovereign!"
Ning Bei smiled at the little rabbit.
"You lazy thing, I couldn't have made the Shape-shifting Pill earlier."
Xiao Wu felt dejected and nodded, then turned to Da Ming.
"By the way, Da Ming, where's Er Ming? Why haven't I seen him?"
Da Ming thought for a moment. "He must be off fighting other soul beasts. Recently, he found a 100,000-year Earthquake Tyrant Dragon."
Before anyone could respond, a giant ape suddenly emerged from the forest, punching toward Ning Bei and the others.
"Roar!!!"
Chen Xin's Seven Killing Sword moved slightly, forming a protective shield to block the giant ape's attack.
Before the giant ape could strike again, it heard two familiar voices.
"Er Ming, stop."
"Er Ming, how dare you attack your little sister?"
"???"
The giant ape's eyes widened in surprise.
On the way back, the Titan Giant Ape sensed human presence and thought its lair was under attack.
"Roar!!!"
The giant ape beat its chest, clearly excited, but still puzzled about the man in the snake robe.
Xiao Wu and Da Ming chatted and gestured with the Titan Giant Ape. After a while, it finally understood the situation.
Its eyes gleamed as it looked at Ning Bei, beating its chest.
"Roar!!!"
"???"
Ning Bei looked confused at Xiao Wu and Da Ming.
"Uh... Can someone translate? I don't quite understand this foreign language!"
