Chapter 22: Farewell? Strong Career.
Farewell? A powerful professional, darkness, descended, the blade descending.
"Puff!"
Blood splattered, and icy, extreme dark soul energy surged through the Titan Ape's head. Instantly, the Titan Ape's face was filled with pain, but after a moment, the brilliance in its earthy yellow eyes gradually faded.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiu drew his dark blade and leaped downward. The Night Raven suddenly appeared, catching Jiang Xiu firmly.
"Tram!"
"Tram!"
Two clear sounds echoed as Jiang Xiu and Na'er landed one after the other, one holding a spear, the other a knife.
"Snap!"
Na'er extended her bare hand, her purple eyes calculating the time. The instant her fingers snapped, a dull thud echoed from behind them, and the Titan Ape's massive body collapsed to the ground, startling the birds and beasts in the forest.
Na'er glanced back at the Titan Ape behind her, a flicker of satisfaction in her beautiful eyes. She brushed her white skirt and sheathed her silver dragon spear.
She, Na'er, her clothes slightly soiled.
The Titan Ape fell, his lungs fogging.
"Let's go, absorb the energy. What are you standing there for?"
Jiang Xiu calmed the surging soul power within him, called out to Na'er, who was still standing there, and walked towards the Titan Ape.
"Oh, coming," Na'er replied, dropping her masterful demeanor and trotting after Jiang Xiu.
Meanwhile, the Titan Ape had slowly transformed into a large ball of ochre-colored pure energy, drifting towards Jiang Xiu.
"My first soul ring is now 1,930 years old. After absorbing this energy, it will reach the maximum of 2,000 years."
Jiang Xiu pondered silently, allocating a portion of the incoming energy to Na'er beside him.
"Once absorbed, we've concluded this perfectly."
Jiang Xiu chuckled, feeling the soul ring's age increase. The figure of the Dark Night Raven on his shoulder quietly grew larger.
As the soul ring ages, the soul spirit also strengthens. For some powerful individuals, each soul spirit even possesses the strength of a Titled Douluo, capable of standing alone.
"Are there still thousand-year-old soul beast energy bodies like this within this Soul Ascension Platform?"
Na'er's violet eyes flickered, and she suddenly asked.
"Yes, according to the information Tower Master Leng gave me earlier, there are still nine thousand-year-old soul beast energy bodies like the Titan Giant Ape within this Soul Ascension Platform," Jiang Xiu replied as he absorbed the energy.
The Soul Ascension Platform at the main Spirit Transmission Tower was undoubtedly superior to those at the branch locations outside. The soul beast energy bodies here were more refined and of higher quality.
"Okay, then when will you come next time? Let's team up to ascend together,"
Na'er asked softly, her violet eyes fixed on Jiang Xiu thoughtfully.
"This time, I'm going to train with my master. I might not come to the main Spirit Transmission Tower for my next soul ascension,"
Jiang Xiu said thoughtfully, predicting that his master would take him to the East China Sea to find his senior brother, Aruheng, whom he had never met.
"You're leaving, all right?"
Na'er's violet eyes flickered slightly at this, feigning indifference, but a hint of discomfort lingered in her eyes.
"Okay, we should go back. Of course, I'll come find you sometime in the future. I'm your boss, after all."
After absorbing the energy and feeling his spirit ring rise to two thousand years old, Jiang Xiu stretched his muscles and bones, then pressed the red button on his arm. His entire body instantly transformed into light and disappeared on the spot.
"Hmm..."
Na'er nodded slightly, finally turning her head to take a deep look at the light behind her, then slowly pressed the button and disappeared on the spot.
...
Inside the circular metal room.
"Click! Click!"
With a metallic click, the silver-white metal wall cracked, and two soul guide pods slid out. Immediately, the hatches opened, and the circular suction cups attached to them detached. Jiang Xiu and Na'er inside slowly opened their eyes.
"Soul guide technology is truly advancing rapidly. The next step will be automation, I guess."
Jiang Xiu sighed inwardly as he felt his first soul ring truly ascend to the millennium level. Even his mental strength had increased significantly in the process.
"Welcome back, are you feeling well?"
Leng Yaozhu, his long, straight legs moving forward, asked with concern as he watched the two exit the soul guide pods.
"Thank you, Master Leng, for your concern. I'm fine." "Me too,"
Na'er echoed, her expression somewhat quieter.
"Not bad, disciple, you performed very well in there. Of course, you and Na'er also worked well together."
Muye patted Jiang Xiu's shoulder in praise.
Although it was Jiang Xiu's first time entering the Soul Ascension Platform, he reacted swiftly and fiercely to the various soul beasts within, which resonated very well with Muye.
After all, their Benti Sect's various combat techniques are lethal, and the most advanced ones are both decisive and life-or-death, so a fierce attack is essential.
"Since the spiritual ascension is complete, we'll be leaving first,"
Muye said to Leng Yaozhu after carefully examining Jiang Xiu.
"Very well. I hope we can work together for mutual benefit in the future. If you need anything, please let me know."
Leng Yaozhu nodded slightly and chuckled.
"I understand. The strong first inspires the strong later. When our Benti Sect regains its strength, we will never forget the Phoenix Clan,"
Muye said with understanding and seriousness.
Na'er, beside Leng Yaozhu, was somewhat uninterested, even the wisp of silver hair on her head fell down.
"Let's go. Your uncle-master will be coming with us this time."
Muye held the land deed in his hand, his eyes brightening. Soon, their Benti Sect would have its own headquarters.
After countless years of wandering, they finally had a stable foundation.
"Great-grandmaster is going too? Is he planning to leave the Spirit Pagoda?"
Jiang Xiu was stunned by this, a hint of confusion.
Na'er's eyes were fixed on her master, but her ears were already perking up.
"Our Benti Sect's headquarters will be in Shrek City from now on. Today is the first day of the sect's establishment, so your great-grandmaster should go along to see it,"
Muye said matter-of-factly.
"Staying in Shrek City? That's bad! Then the Benti Sect and Shrek Academy will soar together in the future."
Jiang Xiu felt a sense of foreboding upon hearing this. Two level-twelve fixed-type soul guide shells would have affected the entire Shrek City.
However, he couldn't bring it up directly now; his master was already in high spirits, and besides, nothing had really happened yet.
"In Shrek City? Hey! Isn't that close to the Spirit Pagoda?"
Na'er's alopecia stood up at this, and her beautiful eyes lit up.
"By the way, Sect Master Mu, what career are you planning to let Xiao Xiu choose next?"
Leng Yaozhu suddenly asked, watching Muye prepare to leave.
Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this. In this era, cultivation wasn't the only way for a Soul Master to become stronger. To become stronger, one had to choose the right profession.
Even a Soul Saint, with the amplification of their battle armor, could easily surpass their rank and defeat a Soul Douluo without battle armor, or even a Titled Douluo.
In this era, a Battle Armor Master was a simple yet powerful existence.
However, a Battle Armor Master wasn't a profession, but rather comprised of four subordinate professions, all of which were closely related to the battle armor...
