Tread——
The sound of stepping on leaves sounded.
A figure was speeding rapidly, and a few golden arcs escaped from time to time around his body.
"It's time for a break."
Yu Tianxiao stopped, found a hidden place and sat down cross-legged.
In the past few days, he has been in a state of turmoil, and the complete clothes on his body have been torn a lot on the way.
After several days of galloping, Yu Tianxiao finally came to the outskirts of the Sunset Forest.
As for why not go to the Star Dou Great Forest, which has the largest variety of soul beasts in the mainland?
Nonsense, of course he wants to go too.
But just because he was a rookie who had just awakened his martial soul and didn't even have the first soul ring, he was afraid that something would happen on the road if he hadn't arrived at the place yet.
This Sunset Forest was already the closest to Yu Tianxiao, and it was the place with the most diverse types of soul beasts.
"Huh."
Yu Tianxiao, who was sitting cross-legged, let out a long breath and opened his eyes.
After a period of rest, his soul power had almost recovered.
Although the family property was taken away, the meditation method that his father placed in the room and an illustrated book about soul beasts were all well hidden by him.
Learning knowledge about soul beasts, then awakening martial souls, and then finding opportunities to leave the sect were all things that Yu Tianxiao had already planned.
"With my current strength, there is no need to find those soul beasts with strong combat power, I just need to find a soul beast with suitable attributes to obtain the first soul ring."
"Thunder bamboo, a botanical soul beast containing thunder attributes."
This is the soul beast that Yu Tianxiao found for himself from the soul beast diagram suitable to become the first soul ring.
With the elemental martial soul Jin Xiaolei, he has no shortage of attack methods.
So for a few soul rings in the early stage, he decided to find attribute amplification soul rings for himself.
And this Thunder Bamboo is indeed a good soul beast, there should be a probability of obtaining this kind of soul skill.
Rustle-
After several days.
Yu Tianxiao stepped into the depths of a bamboo forest.
In the lush bamboo forest, the tall bamboo stands proudly, and the crystal clear leaves shine with a hint of green light.
Looking at a towering green bamboo not far in front of him, Yu Tianxiao said secretly: "Eight bamboo joints, more than 800 years of thundering bamboo, with my current physical fitness, I should be able to absorb it easily."
The age of thundering bamboo is judged by the bamboo joints on its body, and a bamboo knot is equivalent to a hundred years.
Yu Tianxiao estimated that with his physical fitness after experiencing the heavenly thunder refining body, absorbing the eight-hundred-year-old soul ring was basically not a big problem, and even the thousand-year-old soul ring was not impossible to try.
But he wasn't going to take this risk, after all, it was just a guess.
Moreover, the thousand-year-level thunder bamboo already has spiritual intelligence and can operate thunder and lightning to attack.
With Yu Tianxiao's strength that doesn't even have a soul ring now, it would be really a brain to die to challenge a thousand-year-old soul beast.
After all, the soul ring or something is enough, and you can rely on other methods to increase the life of the soul ring in the future.
"Boom!"
Just as Yu Tianxiao was about to get his first soul ring, suddenly an ear-piercing thunder suddenly sounded.
Above the sky dome in the clear sky, a raging thunder suddenly struck.
A thundering bamboo with nine bamboo joints was split under this heavenly thunder and clattered.
Countless bamboo leaves fell, and the turquoise bamboo body instantly became charred.
"This is a thunderous bamboo that is close to a thousand years old and is breaking through the thousand-year level!"
Thunder bamboo is not as easy to break through as other soul beasts, and when it breaks through the age limit, it will be tested by the heavenly thunder.
If he can get through it safely, he will be able to get a gift from the heavenly thunder and obtain the lightning attribute soul skill that can be called the strongest attack power of the same level.
If you can't get over it, everything can only be over and become the dust of history.
This point was quite similar to the legendary Thunder Hell Vine with the blood of the Thunder God.
Yu Tianxiao looked at the thundering bamboo that was faintly about to condense the tenth bamboo joint, and his eyes flickered quietly.
"Boom!" The remnants of the heavenly thunder were still raging on Lei Mingzhu's body, and the charred bamboo body was overwhelmed by this violent heavenly thunder, cracking frantically.
"Do you want to do it? Isn't the number of years too high?"
Just when Yu Tianxiao's eyes flickered unpredictably, Lei Mingzhu's breakthrough tribulation was over.
The raging thunder gradually dissipated, and the charred and cracked bamboo body emitted bursts of quiet fragrance.
The tenth bamboo joint, which was originally faintly visible, had completely condensed at this time.
Lei Mingzhu survived this breakthrough of nine deaths.
The charred bamboo gradually flashed green fluorescence, and a thunder and lightning mark quietly appeared on this thundering bamboo.
"This is ..."
Seeing the appearance of the mark, Yu Tianxiao did not hesitate at all, and directly blasted a golden thunder at the thunder bamboo that was gradually recovering.
Under the golden thunder that Yu Tianxiao blasted out with all his might, the thunder bamboo, which was already on the verge of death, crackled again.
The bamboo body, which was already cracked and almost broken, made an earring-sounding explosion under this golden thunder.
Finally, I only heard a "boom".
This thundering bamboo, which had just broken through the years and became a thousand-year-old soul beast, still couldn't withstand the successive thunder and golden thunder after all, and the entire bamboo body broke open and fell to the ground.
Phew——
Yu Tianxiao sat on the ground and gasped for breath, in order to prevent one blow from dying, this time almost consumed all the soul power in his body.
After recovering some strength.
Yu Tianxiao swayed a little and approached a bamboo corpse with a lilac soul ring.
A hint of hesitation flashed on his face: "This thunderous bamboo has undergone some kind of mutation in the thunder, so can I still try to absorb it?"
This is the reason why Yu Tianxiao just saw the thunder and lightning marks appearing on the bamboo body and made a brazen move.
Mutated soul beasts often represent stronger soul skills, and the soul skills they provide are even more powerful for soul beasts like this lightning attribute.
If it was originally a thousand-year-old thunder bamboo that had not mutated, Yu Tianxiao was confident that he would absorb its soul ring.
But after this mutation, the thousand-year-old Thunder Bamboo, while its strength has greatly increased, the difficulty of absorbing the soul ring has also increased significantly, and the physical fitness requirements for soul masters have become more demanding.
This made Yu Tianxiao a little hesitant for a while.
"If heaven does not take what is bestowed, one will instead suffer its consequences."
"Opportunity is right in front of you, if you retreat like this, I am afraid that you will wake up and scold yourself in the middle of the night in the future."
Thoughts turned, and the hesitation in Yu Tianxiao's eyes turned into firmness and decisiveness.
"The faster I become stronger, the sooner I can go back to take revenge."
With this in mind, Yu Tianxiao sat down cross-legged.
When he felt that his soul power had recovered to a certain extent, he opened his eyes, and a trace of golden thunder flashed in his eyes.
Buzz——
The lilac soul ring was pulled by the soul power and put Yu Tianxiao into it.
A majestic strange energy, with violent and destructive power, poured into his body brutally.
"This little pain is not as good as one ten-thousandth of the thunder!" Yu Tianxiao snorted.
The blue veins on his forehead burst out, and blood continued to overflow from his body, but the corners of his mouth grinned:
"Come, I want to see if you, the thousand-year-old soul beast who has survived the thunder, is powerful, or I am powerful who has also experienced the baptism of thunder!"
While he was absorbing the soul ring with all his heart, the golden thunder surrounding him quietly attracted the thunder and lightning mark.
