Chapter 26: Chapter 24 Integrating the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, Strength Greatly Increases_1
"No!"
"I won't go, no matter what I can't abandon Er Ming here alone!"
Xiaowu insisted on her own thoughts and was about to jump down from the tree to rush to the Titan Ape's side.
But the next moment, a sharp pain came from the back of her neck, followed by darkness, and she fainted.
Behind her, Tang San caught her in his arms.
"Xiaowu, I'm sorry. I can't let you go to your death, and I certainly can't go to a beast's funeral. I have too many other things to do."
"Sorry!"
Tang San said coldly, carrying the limp Xiaowu on his shoulder, then ignoring the despairing gaze of the Titan Ape, he ran toward the depths of the Aquipeia Forest.
He remembered Xiaowu saying that in the depths of the Aquipeia Forest there was an Azure Oxpython named Da Ming, with a cultivation level of over one hundred fifty thousand years.
With it there, if Qin Xiao dares to come, he is bound to die!
...
"Teacher Zhao, why hasn't His Majesty the Thunder Emperor come yet? Could something have happened?"
Elsewhere, among the Shrek group, Ning Rongrong asked with some concern.
Upon hearing this, Oscar's eyes flashed with a hint of dimness.
Zhao Wuji shook his head, "What could possibly happen? Don't you know the power of His Majesty? Even the Hao Tian Douluo can't do anything to him. This Titan Ape can't bother him at all."
"If His Majesty the Thunder Emperor wants to leave, the Titan Ape can't keep him."
Zhao Wuji said, waving his hand dismissively.
He acted as if he were Qin Xiao himself....
But now, he truly respected Qin Xiao from the bottom of his heart.
Both his strength and character were impressive.
Of course, if he were to do more human... spit, if he were to do more normal things, then that would be even more perfect.
"Teacher Zhao, look!"
Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing, who was on lookout in the treetop, pointed in a direction and shouted.
Everyone looked in that direction, and they were taken aback.
They saw the gathered thunder forming into a finger and then pressing down fiercely!
A devastating aura hit them in the face.
"This is His Majesty the Thunder Emperor using a soul skill!"
"Sss... This move feels even stronger than the soul skill he showed when facing Tang Hao!"
Even though they were far apart, everyone could feel that destructive aura.
They were very afraid.
At the same time, they couldn't imagine just how desperate the Titan Ape was, facing this thunderous strike.
...
Fear, helplessness!
The Titan Ape no longer knew how to defend against such an attack.
Or rather, it knew there was no way to withstand such an attack.
It hugged its head with its hands, curled up its body, and tried to protect its weaknesses as much as possible.
Of course.
That was all it could do.
Boom crack!
Thunder exploded.
The massive thunderous finger crushed down fiercely.
Electricity danced wildly, and the scene was momentarily as bright as day.
Mountains, stones, and vegetation were all blasted into powder.
...
"Do you hate me?"
After a long time, the lightning receded.
Qin Xiao looked coldly at the Titan Ape in front of him and asked.
At this moment, the Titan Ape was in a miserable state and could be described as battered and bruised.
Some of the wounds were charred black by the lightning, emitting faint scents of roast meat.
It knelt on the ground, having lost all strength.
But, the look it gave Qin Xiao was still filled with hatred.
Clearly, if it could, it would immediately tear to pieces the person in front of it!
"Instead of hating me, you should hate yourself."
"Hate yourself for being so foolish."
Qin Xiao said, glancing off into the distance.
There was no longer any trace of Xiaowu and Tang San; they must have run away without a doubt.
Afterward, he looked back at the Titan Ape and said indifferently, "Remember, don't be used as a pawn by others in your next life."
"Roar!"
At last, terror appeared in the eyes of the Titan Ape.
He wants to kill me!
He really wants to kill me!
Qin Xiao's voice was calm, but the killing intent made the Titan Ape shiver with fear.
Instinctively, it wanted to back away in terror.
But it was already too late.
Qin Xiao's index finger had, unbeknownst to the ape, landed on its brow.
A streak of lightning pierced through its massive head.
Thump!
It fell to the ground like that.
A soul beast overlord, the Titan Ape, had fallen.
Following that, a deep red Soul Ring condensed around its body.
[Ding, task completed.]
[Ding, task reward has been dispensed. Please confirm which Soul Ring to integrate with?]
"I intended to get a fifty-thousand-year Soul Ring, but never expected to harvest a hundred-thousand-year one."
"Life is full of surprises everywhere, isn't it?"
Qin Xiao shook his head somewhat emotionally.
However, his heart was devoid of any guilt. Humans and soul beasts were natural enemies; it was either humans killing soul beasts or soul beasts killing humans.
Moreover, considering his relationship with Tang Hao, Tang San, Xiaowu, and Tang Hao were destined to be his nemesis.
It was better to get rid of the Titan Ape early rather than leave it as an asset to his enemies.
Even if he could, he would venture into the heart of the Aquipeia Forest and eliminate the Azure Oxpython right away.
Only then would he have truly eliminated future troubles.
"Forget it, the Azure Oxpython matter isn't urgent. Since I could accept a task for a departing Soul Ring once, I can do it a second time. When I turn it into a Soul Ring, that will be the maximization of benefits."
"Let's integrate the Soul Ring first and see how it goes."
Thinking this, Qin Xiao temporarily set aside his thoughts of dealing with the Azure Oxpython.
"System, integrate the Titan Ape's Soul Ring with my first soul ring."
He said to himself in his mind.
The Soul Ring that had condensed on the Titan Ape seemed to be drawn towards him, eventually merging completely into Qin Xiao's body.
Waves of Soul Power also merged into him.
"The feedback of Soul Power from a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring is so pronounced."
Qin Xiao was pleasantly surprised.
This was a significant boost. Although it wouldn't let him become a Level Ninety-Three Title Douluo immediately, it greatly shortened the journey to that level.
[Ding, detected that the host's original soul skill is too trashy. Does the host wish to replace it with a new soul skill?]
Hmm?
Such good fortune?
Qin Xiao was taken aback. For such a thing, was there any need for further discussion?
"Replace!"
Qin Xiao responded immediately.
[Ding, replacement successful. New skill has been generated.]
Indeed, Qin Xiao noticed that his original first soul ring's millennium ability had disappeared, replaced by two skills from the hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring.
[Titan's Body: Strength and defense increase by one hundred percent.]
After seeing the first soul skill, Qin Xiao lightly stroked his chin.
Is this pushing me towards the path of the brute?
However,
He didn't have too much time to think, for the effects of the second soul skill surfaced in his mind.
[Thunder Titan's Soul: The Soul Ring transforms into a Thunder Titan entity corresponding to the host's Cultivation Level and charges directly at the target for a focused attack.]
"Ah, this..."
"Is it because I can control thunder that the Titan Ape has evolved?"
Qin Xiao secretly guessed the reason, estimating that it was very likely the case, and that the Thunder Titan's combat power was probably much stronger than a regular Titan Ape's.
"With this soul skill, can I handle ordinary Titled Douluo without even lifting a finger?"
"Just close the door and release the Titan... "
Qin Xiao laughed.
Very good. His previous soul skill was only provided by a hundred-year soul beast, and it gave a minuscule boost considering his current Cultivation Level.
The two soul skills provided by the Titan Ape were much better than those he had before.
Especially the second soul skill, which was quite suitable for a lazy person like him.
Thinking this way, Qin Xiao showed a satisfied smile; he had to admit, this turn of events was quite a win for him.
