Chapter 22 The Shadowy Escape, Xiao Wu's Heart in Turmoil
Ye Zhi Qiu lay down, letting the tortoise shell completely cover his body, waiting for Su Mo's attack.
But he waited a long time, and the sword did not strike.
Suddenly, the hundred swords disappeared. He looked up in surprise, wondering what Su Mo was up to.
"die!"
Su Mo let out a low growl.
A streak of crimson sword energy shot out from his right arm at incredible speed.
In an instant, the sword energy landed on Ye Zhi Qiu's chest.
Although Ye Zhi Qiu also had a tortoise shell on his chest, it was far less defensive than the tortoise shell on his back.
His tortoise shell was shattered, and a deep bloodstain appeared on his chest.
"What is this?"
Ye Zhi Qiu clutched his chest in disbelief and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for making your choice. Rewards are being distributed.]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the ten-thousand-year soul ring, Netherworld Demon Dragon. Would you like to use it immediately?]
The system notification sounded, and Zhao Wuji arrived downstairs just then.
"Oscar, quickly transform into a healing sausage!"
Seeing the blood spurting from Ye Zhi Qiu's chest, Zhao Wu Ji hurriedly said.
"Yes."
Oscar hurriedly made sausages, and Zhao Wuji took them and stuffed them into Ye Zhi Qiu's mouth.
Although Ye Zhi Qiu was bullying the weak, Canghui Academy had a powerful backer, and letting him die would cause unimaginable trouble.
Ye Zhi Qiu ate the sausage, and his injuries slowly began to heal.
"Everyone, go back to sleep!"
Zhao Wuji coldly shouted.
"Teacher Zhao, it's him."
Dai Mubai pointed at Tang San, about to speak.
I said, "Go back to sleep."
Zhao Wuji said coldly.
"Yes."
Dai Mubai returned to the hotel unwillingly, randomly found a room to stay in, and didn't even eat.
"Don't you want to give me an explanation?"
Despite the excruciating pain, Ye Zhi Qiu stood up and spoke.
"Explain? I've already done more than enough by saving you."
After Zhao Wuji finished speaking, he turned and left.
Before entering the hotel, he looked at Su Mo with a complicated expression and couldn't help but sigh.
"What a pity."
The group quickly returned to the hotel, but Su Mo did not enter the hotel under the pretext of going to the restroom.
He ran towards the Starry Sky Forest and soon arrived at a grove.
Only after making sure no one was following did he excitedly say, "Yes."
As his words fell, the soul power in the world instantly began to condense.
A jet-black spirit ring slowly appeared.
A dozen minutes later, a complete spirit ring appeared in front of Su Mo.
Without hesitation, he channeled his soul power and attached the soul ring to the Myriad Shadows Sword.
As the spirit ring merged with the Myriad Shadows Sword, Su Mo's level soared rapidly.
[Congratulations, host, for absorbing the ten-thousand-year-old soul ring, the Netherworld Demon Dragon. Your soul power level has increased to level 52.]
Su Mo's level did not stop increasing, and the soul power stored in his dantian also rapidly exploded.
Level 53, 54, 55.
Su Mo's soul power level ultimately remained at level 56.
"Ha ha ha ha."
With no one around, Su Mo could no longer suppress his joy and burst into laughter.
The higher the level of soul power, the harder it is to improve, yet he broke through several levels in just two days.
This greatly boosted his confidence, and Su Mo believed that he would soon reach the title of Douluo.
Then, the sea will be wide enough for fish to leap freely, and the sky high enough for birds to fly freely.
He also didn't need to fear Tang Hao's possible attacks at any time, or Ning Rongrong's unimaginable malice.
After the initial joy, Su Mo attempted to unleash his fifth soul skill.
With a thought, Su Mo vanished from the spot.
The sword itself turned pure black, carrying Su Mo into a dark shadow.
"What a soul skill!"
Su Mo attempted to fly a thousand meters and was greatly shocked.
"Let's call it 'Netherworld Shadow'."
After a moment's thought, Su Mo named his soul skill.
This soul skill consumes a lot of soul power; after flying just a thousand meters, Su Mo's soul power was reduced by one-tenth.
But it only took less than ten seconds to cover a kilometer, a speed that was outrageous.
The impact of this skill in combat is unimaginable; it allows Su Mo to teleport behind the enemy in the blink of an eye and deliver a fatal blow.
Riding his flying sword, Su Mo flew towards the hotel.
"Su Mo, where did you go?"
Xiao Wu stood outside the door, looking at Su Mo who had returned after a long time, tears welling up in her eyes.
"It's fine."
Su Mo patted Xiao Wu's head and gently comforted her.
He then pulled her into his arms and they admired the moonlight together.
The bright moonlight shone on their faces.
"Xiao Wu, can you promise me something?"
Su Mo thought for a long time before slowly speaking.
A blush crept onto Xiaowu's face as she shyly said:
"We're still young, let's talk about it in a few years."
Her heart was pounding, and she didn't dare to look up at Su Mo.
Upon hearing this, Su Mo chuckled and said, "What are you thinking?"
"Can we go over there?"
Su Mo looked around and spoke cautiously.
Xiao Wu lowered her head shyly, her face as red as a ripe apple, but she still smiled and spoke:
"If you really want it, it's not impossible."
Then he followed Su Mo into the distant jungle.
In the room on the second floor, Tang San gritted his teeth as he watched the two walk further and further away.
An unimaginable sense of shame welled up inside him.
Having lived two lives, how could he not know what the two were up to?
But he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
"It's practically a birth!"
Tang San angrily slammed his fist on the table, but still didn't dare to chase after the two.
"Father!"
He tried calling out to Tang Hao, but after waiting for a long time, he still didn't see him.
At this moment, Tang Hao was lying in a cave, with a Blue Silver Grass beside him.
"Ah Yin, our son will soon be able to stand on his own."
Tang Hao stared at the Blue Silver Grass, gazing intently at it.
And the Blue Silver Grass swayed happily.
In the jungle.
"Come on, Su Mo!"
Xiao Wu closed her eyes, hugged Su Mo shyly, and said...
What are you doing?
Su Mo's lips twitched. What did Xiao Wu take him for?
"Isn't that what you want?"
Xiao Wu opened her eyes, her face flushed.
"Xiao Wu, are you a soul beast?"
Su Mo got straight to the point.
Xiao Wu's shyness instantly turned into fear.
She knew that Su Mo was already level 50 and was just missing a soul ring.
Could it be that he wanted to today?
But she steadied herself and forced a smile, saying, "How could that be? What kind of soul beast is humanoid?"
Su Mo shook his head and continued:
"You are not only a soul beast, but also a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form."
The moment Su Mo spoke, Xiao Wu was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.
Her eyes were closed, as if she had resigned herself to her fate.
"What are you doing? The ground is so dirty!"
Su Mo quickly picked up Xiao Wu and patted the dirt off her.
"You...you won't kill me?"
Xiao Wu's eyes changed from fear to confusion.
A 100,000-year-old soul beast is incredibly tempting to any soul master, especially a powerful and young soul master like Su Mo.
"Of course not, how could I bear to kill you?"
Su Mo patted Xiao Wu's head to comfort her.
Sensing the familiar tone of voice, Xiao Wu lowered her guard.
She mustered her courage and asked, "So, why did you call me here?"
"I beg you, never, ever, ever sacrifice your soul ring."
Su Mo stroked Xiao Wu's head, his tone extremely serious.
