Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 74 Xiao Wu, I Only Kill Evil Soul Beasts

"There is no more ideal place than here. There is a very high probability that the Blue Silver Emperor is here."

At this moment, Ji Wuming, wearing a mask and a black robe, swept his powerful spiritual energy across the area. Suddenly, a cave located beside a waterfall, with its entrance concealed by thick vines, appeared in his mind.

Inside the cave, in a light-filled area, there was a light blue four-leaf clover, about 60 or 70 centimeters tall. When it sensed the unfamiliar mental energy probing, it actually moved a few times, as if it were very frightened.

"Aha, I've found you, my long-awaited Blue Silver Emperor."

Just as Ji Wuming was about to cut the vines at the cave entrance, he suddenly stopped. His mind raced. What if Tang Hao had left some kind of soul-guided device or hidden weapon inside or at the entrance that could detect intruders? Wouldn't his whereabouts be exposed?

But on second thought, given Tang Hao's big chest and no brains, it seems unlikely that he would treat the Blue Silver Emperor, who could only transform back into human form after who knows how many years, with special consideration.

After a moment's thought, Ji Wuming decided to maintain at least a basic level of respect, so he raised both hands.

As soul power was channeled in, the two golden circular objects on his left and right arms began to rotate mechanically, extending a pair of cannon barrels. Two red energy spheres then gathered on the barrels.

"boom--"

The red energy beam shattered the vines at the cave entrance, and even knocked off a layer of rocks from the cave's interior.

"Knock knock knock—"

The sound of a wooden box rolling out of the cave was crisp and pleasant.

Ji Wuming immediately rushed in, picked up the wooden box that had fallen to the ground, opened it, and found a soul bone that was entirely blue with golden spiral patterns.

"This must be the 10-year-old Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone. Tang Hao really didn't bring it with him!"

However, amidst his joy, Ji Wuming also sensed an unfamiliar fluctuation of soul power emanating from the wooden box and the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone. He knew without a doubt that it was left behind by Tang Hao; Tang Hao must have frequently used this soul bone to reminisce about him.

At this moment, Ji Wuming smiled contemptuously at the Tang family's behavior. The whole family actually liked spirit beasts; the father liked grass, the son liked rabbits, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were essentially natural enemies.

Although the transformed Blue Silver Emperor gave him a very special feeling, to be honest, Ji Wuming really found it difficult to accept this special fetish of human-beast love.

Ji Wuming immediately activated the bloodthirsty aura within the Blood Thunder Spear, erasing all the remaining soul master fluctuations from the wooden box and the soul bone.

He then walked with great interest to the Blue Silver Emperor, which had no instincts or consciousness and was no different from an ordinary Blue Silver Grass.

"Sorry, but I have to take all the profits from the Tang family."

Ji Wuming uprooted the Blue Silver Emperor and put it into his treasure bag.

Meanwhile, Tang San, who was strolling around a city with Xiao Wu, suddenly froze.

"thump--"

His heart felt as if it had been struck by something, and he suddenly felt a sharp pain.

Xiao Wu, who was eating a carrot, looked at Tang San with concern as he appeared.

"Xiao San, what's wrong? Did Xiao buddy badmouth you behind your back again after graduation? I didn't expect him to not learn his lesson after I taught him a lesson. Let's go back now, I'll make sure they experience the power of the college's big sister once again, and I'll also get revenge for you."

"No, Xiao Wu, we still have a long way to go."

After a brief moment of pain, Tang San suddenly felt much better. He immediately grabbed Xiao Wu's hand and stopped her from moving.

Although he didn't know why he felt heartbroken, it was probably just like what Xiao Wu said: someone was talking badly about him behind his back.

"Xiao Wu, it's not good to eat radishes all the time. The teacher said that we are growing and should eat some soul beast meat. I think the soul beast meat sold at that stall looks pretty good. How about I buy some and make you something delicious?"

Xiao Wu glanced at the twenty- or thirty-year-old soul beast meat displayed on the stall and found it quite cruel, especially the soft-boned rabbit meat displayed in one corner of the stall, which immediately made her feel nauseous.

"Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you? You're usually the most enthusiastic one when it comes to eating meat, why are you suddenly like this today?"

Seeing Xiao Wu's extremely disheveled state, Tang San didn't know the reasons behind it. Perhaps Xiao Wu felt that selling raw meat was too cruel.

"Little San, can you promise me you won't eat them? This soul beast meat was obtained from weak soul beasts that were only twenty or thirty years old. These weak soul beasts are innocent."

Xiao Wu looked at Tang San with her big, watery eyes, and gripped him tightly with both hands, hoping he wouldn't buy these things.

Tang San stroked Xiao Wu's head, causing her two rabbit ears to droop shyly.

"Okay, Xiao Wu, I promise you, I will only hunt evil soul beasts that attack me. If I have to eat soul beast meat, I will never hunt soul beasts that are less than a hundred years old."

"Third brother, you're the best to me."

Xiao Wu's emotions were calmed down again, but she looked at Tang San, took his hand, and said coquettishly,

"I'm tired, mistress. I want you to carry me."

"There's no other way, come on up."

Tang San sighed, then carried Xiao Wu on his back and walked forward.

The latest novel is first published here!

Meanwhile, a black-robed man hidden in the shadows was very satisfied with Tang San and his companion's actions.

"Ah Yin, do you see this? This is my child with you. He is destined to become the most dazzling Soul Master on the entire continent."

"Spirit Hall, it's time for you to avenge your grudge against me."

…………

At this moment, Ji Wuming had already stepped out of the cave and turned to look at the waterfall.

"What a beautiful view! What a pity."

Ji Wuming immediately erased all the residual soul power fluctuations he had left behind. After firing more than a dozen soul guide rays, the entire cave collapsed with a roar. Then, he took a dagger and carved a few words on the cliff wall.

Ji Wuming then quickly departed, heading south. After traveling over 200 li (approximately 100 kilometers), night fell, and Ji Wuming found a cave to stay in, where he retrieved the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone.

He carefully examined the soul bone. Originally, he hadn't planned to absorb this 10-year-old soul bone with mismatched attributes, but it could not only increase his soul power, but also had two truly impressive skills: flight and the ability to regenerate broken bones like wildfire and spring breeze, as well as a skill for rapidly restoring soul power.

Even if I find a 10-year-old right leg bone of the same attribute later, I can just cut off my own. As long as it's not the torso or head soul bone, I can remove it and reattach it.

After figuring things out, Ji Wuming sat cross-legged and guided the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone to his right leg. A gentle aura emanating from the 10 Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone repaired his body and expanded his meridians.

The next morning, as the first drop of dew fell on the earth, Ji Wuming opened his eyes with great ease. His soul power had increased by three levels, and he had now reached level 56, the Soul King.
