Chapter 24: Merging a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, Greatly Enhancing Strength
"No!"
"I won't leave, I can't abandon Er Ming here by himself no matter what!"
Xiao Wu insisted on her decision, preparing to jump down from the tree to rush to the Titan Giant Ape's side.
But the next moment, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck, followed by darkness, and she fainted.
Behind her, Tang San caught her.
"Xiao Wu, I'm sorry. I can't let you go to your death, nor can I let myself be buried alongside a mere beast. I still have too much to do."
"I'm sorry!"
Tang San said coldly, carrying the limp Xiao Wu on his shoulder, and then ran towards the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, ignoring the desperate gaze of the Titan Giant Ape.
He remembered Xiao Wu mentioning that deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, there was a Sky Blue Bull Python named Da Ming with over 150,000 years of cultivation.
With it there, Qin Xiao would surely die if he dared to come!
"Teacher Zhao, why hasn't His Majesty arrived yet? There won't be any trouble, right?"
On the other side, among the Shrek members, Ning Rongrong asked with some concern.
Hearing this, Oscar's eyes dimmed.
Zhao Wuji shook his head, "What could possibly happen? You all know His Majesty's strength, even Hao Tian Douluo couldn't handle him. This Titan Giant Ape is no match for him."
"If His Majesty wants to leave, the Titan Giant Ape can't stop him."
Zhao Wuji said dismissively.
He spoke as if he was Qin Xiao himself.
But now, he truly respected Qin Xiao from the bottom of his heart.
Both his strength and character were admirable.
Of course, if he did something more normal, that would be even more perfect.
"Teacher Zhao, look!"
Suddenly Zhu Zhuqing, who was on lookout in the tree canopy, pointed in a direction and shouted.
Everyone looked and were startled.
They saw thunder converging in the sky into a giant finger, which then pressed down fiercely!
A destructive aura rushed towards them.
"This is His Majesty the Thunder Emperor using his soul skill!"
"Wow, this move feels even stronger than the soul skills he used against Tang Hao!"
Even from a distance, everyone could feel the aura of destruction.
They were frightened.
At the same time, they couldn't imagine the despair the Titan Giant Ape must be feeling facing this thunderous strike.
Fear, helplessness!
The Titan Giant Ape didn't know how to defend against such an attack.
Or rather, it knew it couldn't withstand it.
It curled up, hands over its head, trying to protect its weakest points as much as possible.
Of course.
That was all it could do.
Boom!
The thunder roared.
The giant thunderous finger pressed down hard.
Electric snakes danced wildly, and the scene was as bright as day.
Mountains, rocks, and trees were all shattered.
"Do you hate me?"
Long after, when the electric light faded, Qin Xiao coldly looked at the Titan Giant Ape in front of him and asked.
The Titan Giant Ape was in a miserable state, almost skinless.
Some wounds were blackened by the lightning, emitting a smell of roasted meat.
It kneeled on the ground, having lost all its strength.
But, its eyes still held intense hatred towards Qin Xiao.
Clearly, if possible, it would immediately tear the person in front of it to pieces!
"Hate me all you want, but you should hate yourself more."
"Hate yourself for being so foolish."
Qin Xiao said, glancing in the distance.
There were no signs of Xiao Wu and Tang San; they must have fled.
Then, he looked at the Titan Giant Ape again and said indifferently, "Remember, in your next life, don't let others use you as a pawn."
"Roar!"
Finally, the Titan Giant Ape showed a look of terror.
He's going to kill me! He's really going to kill me!
Qin Xiao's voice was calm, but the killing intent chilled the Titan Giant Ape.
Instinctively, it tried to retreat in fear. But it was already too late.
Translation to English:
Qin Xiao's index finger had unknowingly landed on the Titan Giant Ape's forehead.
A bolt of lightning pierced through its massive head.
Thud!
It fell to the ground like that.
Thus, the reign of the Titan Giant Ape, a supreme soul beast, came to an end.
Immediately after, a deep red soul ring formed around its body.
[Ding, mission completed.]
[Ding, mission reward has been issued. Please confirm with which soul ring you wish to merge?]
"I originally wanted a fifty-thousand-year soul ring, but unexpectedly, I obtained a hundred-thousand-year soul ring."
"Life is full of surprises."
Qin Xiao shook his head somewhat emotionally.
However, he felt no guilt in his heart. Humans and soul beasts were inherently in opposition; it was either humans killing soul beasts or vice versa.
Moreover, given his relationship with Tang Hao, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Tang Hao were destined to be his enemies.
It was better to eliminate the Titan Giant Ape early than to leave it as a potential threat.
If his strength allowed, he even wanted to immediately enter the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest and kill the Sky Blue Bull Python as well.
Only then would future troubles be truly eliminated.
"Never mind, there's no rush with the Sky Blue Bull Python. Since I was able to receive a mission to leave a soul ring once, I can receive it a second time. When that time comes, turning it into a soul ring will maximize benefits."
"Let's merge with the soul ring first and see what effects it brings."
Thinking this, Qin Xiao temporarily shelved his plans to deal with the Sky Blue Bull Python.
"System, merge the Titan Giant Ape's soul ring with my first soul ring."
He thought to himself.
The soul ring from the Titan Giant Ape seemed to be drawn to him, eventually integrating completely into his body.
He also felt waves of soul power merging into him.
"The soul power feedback from a hundred-thousand-year soul ring is so evident."
Qin Xiao was pleasantly surprised.
This boost was not insignificant. Although it couldn't make him a level ninety-three Titled Douluo immediately, it greatly shortened the process.
[Ding, detected host's original soul skill is too trash. Would you like to replace it with a new soul skill?]
Huh?
Such good fortune?
Qin Xiao was surprised, but there was no need to hesitate.
"Replace!"
Qin Xiao immediately responded.
[Ding, replacement successful. New skill has been generated.]
Indeed, Qin Xiao found that his original first soul ring's thousand-year skill was gone. In its place were two skills from the hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
[Titan Body: Strength and defense increased by one hundred percent.]
After reading the first soul skill, Qin Xiao stroked his chin lightly.
Is this pushing me towards a brute force approach?
However.
He didn't have much time to ponder as the effect of the second soul skill emerged in his mind.
[Thunder Titan Soul: The soul ring transforms into a Thunder Titan entity corresponding to its age, directly targeting and striking at the enemy.]
"Ah, this."
"Is it because I can control thunder? Did the Titan Giant Ape evolve?"
Qin Xiao silently speculated the reason. He guessed it was very likely so, and the Thunder Titan's combat power should be much stronger than a regular Titan Giant Ape.
"With this soul skill, do I even need to take action against ordinary Titled Douluos?"
"Just close the door and release the Titan."
Qin Xiao smiled.
Very nice. His previous soul skill was only from a hundred-year soul beast, and with his current cultivation, the enhancement was pitifully small.
But the two soul skills from the Titan Giant Ape were much better than his previous ones.
Especially the second soul skill, which was perfect for someone as lazy as him.
Thinking this way, Qin Xiao revealed a satisfied smile. It had to be said, this was a great gain, a huge profit.
