Another powerful attack struck Yang Xiao, who was unable to dodge in time and was directly hit in the chest. The strong force disrupted his rhythm and posture, and he was sent flying by the punch from the High Priest of Behemoth.

lb!

With his hands raised to his chest to block the Behemoth High Priest's pursuit, Yang Xiao also changed his flight direction. Six pale blue soul rings surrounded him, and he began to absorb the surrounding energy of heaven and earth to repair himself. Yang Xiao stood on the top of a green bamboo tree again, forcibly swallowed the blood in his chest, and looked solemnly at the Behemoth High Priest who had adjusted his aura in an instant and was attacking him again.

It must be said that the unique martial soul of this primitive continent, the Golden Behemoth, is a true super martial soul. Although there are few titled Douluo and the quality of soul masters on the Kunlun Continent is not high, this only means that there are few super martial souls here. Many common high-level martial souls are considered powerful martial souls here.

However, Yang Xiao is now facing a genuine Title Douluo with a super martial soul. Although Yang Xiao can continuously refine his body through ring fusion, he has only been cultivating for five or six years. When Jin Lin, who possesses the Golden Dragon martial soul, was a Soul Emperor, he could only protect himself when facing a Title Douluo. Yang Xiao, whose physical talent is relatively poor, is facing the Golden Behemoth, who dominates with strength and physique, which makes him feel quite troubled.

'In that case, let's make a cut.'

Although he felt the gap was quite large, Yang Xiao still decided to make his move.

The Azure Cloud Bamboo Knife is a life-giving blade suitable for comprehending the essence of the blade. Its offensive strength is very weak, and it is easy to break when it clashes head-on with someone of the same realm. Yang Xiao usually fights by using the flowing light blade formed by his Azure Profound Blade Intent to cut through the enemy.

Furthermore, his Azure Profound Blade Intent is enhanced by the environment under certain conditions, allowing it to quickly gain a powerful armor-piercing effect.

Swish!

Yang Xiao gently waved his hand towards the bamboo forest below, where he had just stuck the Azure Cloud Bamboo Knife, and a vibrant green bamboo blade, shimmering with a faint blue-gold light, quietly appeared in his hand.

Seeing the Behemoth High Priest charging towards him, Yang Xiao glanced at the blade in his hand, then quietly placed it at his waist.

The environment, the world, the people—this is a trial for him. Although the person who came was a bit too much, the trial only needs a result.

hum!

A dazzling, ultra-golden light flashed by, carrying an incomparably sharp and resolute aura, and in an instant, it shone in the minds of the two people.

Why.

With a soft sigh, Yang Xiao's Azure Cloud Bamboo Blade gradually transformed into countless dazzling starlight. His face flushed, Yang Xiao looked at the Behemoth High Priest, who had instantly activated all of his defensive soul skills, but still looked at the small but not large diagonal wound across his chest with lingering fear.

boom!

The terrified High Priest of Behemoth delivered a powerful punch that caused Yang Xiao, whose energy and spirit had already been greatly diminished, to cough up a mouthful of blood!

Almost! He was almost cut in half by this Soul Emperor's blade!

The High Priest of Behemoth was horrified as he looked at Yang Xiao, who was vomiting blood in a huge pit in the bamboo forest!

Without any warning, if that knife had been just a little harder and had cut through his bones, he would have been killed in one strike by the opponent when he was using all his soul skills!

But it's alright now. As long as I kill the other person, everything will be fine!

puff!

Blood continued to flow from Yang Xiao's shattered body. His strength was always a little lacking, and he ultimately failed to overcome the "hurdle" he saw in his heart, causing him to lose his gamble.

Suddenly, a black figure darted out of the bamboo forest and grabbed Yang Xiao's clothes, dragging him away into the distance.

With a pale face, Yang Xiao looked up at the Behemoth High Priest under the inky blackness of the night sky, and calmly said to Nick, who was desperately pulling him along as they slid through the bamboo forest, "If you want to save your life, the best thing you can do is stay away from me."

In the dense bamboo forest, no one could see Nick's face clearly. He remained silent, suppressing the fear in his heart, and then tried to drag Yang Xiao's shattered body away from the enemy in the air through the soft fallen leaves.

"You've seen my home-field advantage, so... isn't it good to be alive?"

Looking at the Behemoth High Priest, who was caught in a myriad of entanglements and struggles under the starry sky, and feeling the trembling of the native boy behind him, Yang Xiao said again in a low voice, "He is speaking Douluo language, and Nick is currently the only native who has learned their language on his own."

Nick remained silent; in truth, even someone as intelligent as him didn't know what he was doing.

Nick, who was able to learn Douluo language, was aware of Yang Xiao's failure in the trial. His best course of action would have been to hide, and he might have been safe the moment Yang Xiao died. However, he didn't want to watch this person, who treated everyone equally and was willing to teach him Douluo language, die in front of him.

"Do you know why I'm called the Powerful Attack Soul Emperor?" Yang Xiao gazed at the starry sky and said quietly. Behind him, the Behemoth High Priest was still struggling with whether to kill and seize the treasure or to stop there.

Nick remained silent.

"Because I only have one chance, but I've won every time before."

“You shouldn’t have run away,” Nick stammered.

"I want to break through to level 70. I'm sorry to have dragged you into this." The trial means that within a radius of 100 miles, no one will interfere unless the trial participant dies.

Yang Xiao could have run away without wielding his sword, but his heart wouldn't allow him to.

Crimson bloodstains were dragged across the fallen leaves, then absorbed by the soft leaves.

“…” The exceptionally intelligent Nick fell silent again.

Yang Xiao can leave, but Nick can't, so Yang Xiao dragged Nick down with him.

For those who fail in the Star Trials, there will always be something to lose; this is the price they pay for their survival.

If Yang Xiao abandons the trial and runs away, then Xingdou will choose to abandon Nick's life and his immortal herb.

"You're putting me in a difficult position," Yang Xiao chuckled as he watched the Behemoth High Priest, his will unwavering and filled with murderous intent, fly towards them.

Yang Xiao chose to attack the Behemoth High Priest so as not to abandon the life of Nick, a studious native, because of a powerful enemy. Nick, that fool, actually exposed himself, knowing that he would die, but still wanted to save the person who taught him Douluo language.

However, Yang Xiao has the powerful soul technology of Xingdou as a safety net, while Nick does not.

Therefore, this dark-skinned boy really made things difficult for Yang Xiao.

"Oh well, never mind."

Yang Xiao, who felt that he might not even understand how he had managed to kill Nick in this way even if he were reincarnated, finally sighed.

Gazing up at the Milky Way, sword fingers interlocked, a faint aura of soul began to dissipate.

"What...what are you doing?!"

"In the end, I've dragged you down. Live on and go change your hometown."

Yang Xiao smiled freely, and the invisible flames of his soul began to burn fiercely on his sword finger. At the same time, the true, resolute sword intent of certain death began to condense.

The Behemoth High Priest behind him was instantly shocked and summoned a huge golden hand to blast towards Yang Xiao!

But what burns even faster than Yang Xiao's soul is the vast, pristine bamboo forest here!

In the hazy light, Yang Xiao seemed to see an unparalleled emperor bathed in dazzling starlight.

Thousands of emerald green fireflies, along with the instantly withered bamboo forest, formed a shattered blade of light piercing the sky above Yang Xiao's sword finger!

Those are fragments of the Azure Cloud Bamboo Knife!

The fragments that should have scattered were reborn through the sacrifice of thousands of bamboo forests and gathered once again in the hands of their owner.

His blood awakened these most primal "grasses," and his will awakened the memories deep within the bloodlines of these primitive plants—the supreme emperor of bamboo spirit beasts, the Azure Cloud Bamboo Emperor, who had perished in the passage of time.

"Excessive rigidity leads to breakage; it should not be taken in excess."

In a hazy state, Yang Xiao seemed to hear a soft sigh.

hum!

A pale green seventh spirit ring quietly appeared behind Yang Xiao!

"Thank you for your guidance, I will remember it."

At this moment, Yang Xiao's consciousness seemed to transcend time and space, and everything in the world seemed to have been paused.

He saw the giant hand hurtling towards him, he saw the thousands of shattered blades in its hand, he saw the bewildered Nick, and he also saw the thousands of bamboo forests withering in an instant and the starry sky.

Seventh Soul Skill: Slay Me!

The fragmented blade of light that pierced through the heavens and the stars instantly swept across the world in Yang Xiao's eyes, carrying with it a sense of freedom and the swordsmanship of his short life.

What I see, what I hear, and what I touch are all me.

I am illusion, I am a mirror, I am formless.

Therefore, cut through the void, cut through the illusion, cut through the mirror, cut through the formless.

He said: "Slay me!"

The seventh spirit ring's offensive spirit skill, which is beyond imagination and comprehension, seems to prove that this world's understanding of weapon spirits is fundamentally wrong!

"Let's go, Nick, let's go see the new world."

"So, your seventh spirit ring is neither a Martial Soul True Body nor a theoretically non-spirit skill, but rather a Dao skill?"

Inside a high-end leisure venue owned by a bubbly, magical great white shark, Xiao Xiao stared at Yang Xiao with wide, shocked eyes.

"Also, is the reason your soul power increased so quickly because you ate too many bamboo shoots that have been growing for thousands of years???"

Xiao Xiao felt as if the world had isolated her. Originally, she was very confident in her soul power level and twin martial souls, and thought that she was already outstanding among her peers, except for Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er, who were both overpowered! But why was Yang Xiao, who only had one martial soul, more powerful than her?

As for those humanoid soul beasts, let's not even mention them; they're too discouraging!

"Taoist Technique? Not a bad name." Yang Xiao smiled, acknowledging Xiao Xiao's assessment.

"In the Soul Ring system, the seventh-tier Soul Saint is considered a transformation stage. At this stage, the Beast Martial Soul can begin to awaken the root power in its bloodline, so it is understandable that a beast-transformed true form will appear."

"But weapon spirits should be different. After all, according to the evolution of the true form of beast spirits, the seventh spirit ring of all weapon spirits should be a transformation of the body into a weapon, rather than the incongruous state of traditional spirit saints who have both a human form and a spirit weapon."

"According to Master Chen's definition of martial soul, a martial soul is the product of the fusion of bloodline factors and spiritual factors. If the bloodline factors are strong, one will become beast-like. If an individual has a strong spiritual will, then their descendants are more likely to have a weapon martial soul that symbolizes their spiritual will to a certain extent. Special martial souls are formed when there are fluctuations in this fusion stage, thus forming things like energy martial souls and food martial souls."

Looking at the clear-eyed foolishness in Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao's eyes, Yang Xiao chose an example that was easier to explain: "For example, you can think of weapon spirits and beast spirits as manifestations of special soul characteristics that emphasize spirit, will, bloodline, and body. So the transformation of a beast spirit is a return to its ancestral origin, while the transformation of a weapon spirit is enlightenment."

"It looks so mysterious," Xiao Xiao smacked her lips a few times, feeling as if her scalp was itchy.

Wang Dong'er, however, asked with curiosity in his eyes, "So, the seventh soul skill of a weapon spirit should be an extremely powerful skill, whether it's attack, defense, or other aspects, it can achieve a near-perfect state in its respective focus?"

"Yes, that's right." Yang Xiao nodded. Who would have thought that the path that weapon spirit masters had followed for hundreds of thousands of years was led astray by beast spirit masters? Of course, this might also prove that beast spirits might be the initial spirits, while weapon spirits appeared later. Thinking about it this way, it's easier to understand why weapon spirit masters were led astray by beast spirit masters.
