The Evil Soul Master is actually myself

Seeing that its attack was ineffective, the Purple Jade Bamboo mustered its soul power and launched another attack. The bamboo leaves on its body jingled, and then a clear light shone brightly as jade-like bamboo leaves shot out one by one.

Su Xuan'er's expression changed slightly, and she quickly pulled Su Ming back.

Instantly, within a radius of several hundred meters centered on the Purple Jade Bamboo, numerous extremely fine cracks appeared, their depths unfathomable.

That wasn't all. Strands of purple lightning intertwined on the Purple Jade Bamboo, and soon the bamboo leaves that had shot out and were buried deep in the ground also began to resonate.

Rumble!

A lightning field covering hundreds of meters was thus formed, and Su Ming, with his sharp eyes, even saw transparent, light wind blades flashing within it from time to time.

If it were to hit a person... Su Ming immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

That's really insidious!

"It's the Purple Jade Bamboo, Su Ming, don't hesitate, choose this one," the older sister said urgently.

“But it’s a plant-based spirit beast, and judging from the situation, it seems to have an attack spirit skill attached to it, not the amplification spirit skill I want,” Su Ming said after a moment of hesitation.

"Hoo!" Su Xuan'er took a deep breath and asked in return, "Do you know what the Purple Jade Bamboo signifies?"

Without waiting for her younger brother to think, she said directly, "It means a powerful source of dual extreme wind and thunder attributes!"

"Ultimate Wind and Thunder?" Su Ming was startled, his heart pounding with excitement.

She pointed to the green bamboo that still stood gracefully amidst the lightning and said, "This Purple Jade Bamboo has six sections, which is exactly six thousand years of cultivation."

"Legend has it that the Purple Jade Bamboo is exceptionally resilient. Every thousand years, it must undergo a baptism of heavenly lightning and the erosion of its body by yin wind before it can finally break through its cultivation level. This results in its bamboo body containing a vast amount of ultimate wind and lightning essence, but its biological characteristics limit its ability to exert its full potential."

"Therefore, despite being called a top-tier soul beast, it is actually an ultimate soul beast and is extremely rare!"

Su Ming could vaguely see the six-section bamboo through the lightning field, but he hesitated and said, "Wait a little longer! My martial soul is not just about wind and lightning attributes. Shouldn't I just ignore my powerful physique and the power of extreme evil?"

Su Xuan'er calmed down after hearing this. She thought for a moment and said, "That's right, I was too anxious. We can make a mark here and look around to see if there are any other suitable soul beasts."

"However, little brother, you're really unlucky. On your first visit to the Star Dou Great Forest, you immediately encountered the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, a creature that appears only once every ten thousand years, and obtained a precious external soul bone."

"The second time, I encountered the Purple Jade Bamboo with the dual extreme attributes of wind and thunder, and the cultivation levels of both were just right, just like the protagonist in a popular novel."

Su Xuan'er suddenly spoke to her younger brother, giving him a strange look as she looked him up and down.

Su Ming chuckled sheepishly, trying to get away with it by feigning ignorance.

He now knew that the God's Reincarnation Pool probably offered more than just a body with unparalleled talent; it also granted him immense good fortune to match the geniuses.

Well, using the theories of rank, fortune, and destiny in the world of "Yi Ding," he is currently a gold-level prodigy, with his own gold-level protagonist aura.

Thinking of this, he felt lucky. If the main god hadn't had a problem, he wouldn't have been able to get the gold-level reincarnation card for free.

"Little brother, I've never seen anyone as lucky as you before. I don't have to worry about you being hunted down after they find out you have an evil martial soul anymore," Su Xuan'er said, pinching the boy's cheek.

"You've never seen a true chosen one. What am I compared to them?" Su Ming muttered, struggling to break free from his sister's clutches.

He thought of Huo Gua, Wang Dong'er, and others from his era.

One of Huo Gua's most famous anecdotes is "Three visits to the Starry Sky Forest, three visits to the top auction house."

On my first trip into the Star Dou Great Forest, I got a million-year soul ring, an old man, and a twin martial soul slot for free.

On his second trip into the Star Dou Great Forest, he encountered the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the Emperor Auspicious Beast, and obtained an external soul bone, a ten-thousand-year top-level spiritual soul beast, and the favor of the Emperor Auspicious Beast.

The third time... cough cough... never mind, I'm getting off-topic.

Su felt she had very bad luck, so Ming continued to follow her sister in searching for a suitable soul beast.

Three days passed in this wandering, and he didn't encounter anything. It was as if Su Ming's good luck had all been used up on the Purple Jade Bamboo, making him doubt whether his protagonist halo was real.

"How about we use that bamboo?" Su Ming said to his sister, sounding hesitant.

"Wait a moment." Su Xuan'er was about to answer when she suddenly saw something and her eyes narrowed as she looked into the distance.

Su Ming also looked over and saw a strong, seven-meter-long, blue-haired male tiger.

"What's wrong? The Skystorm Demon Tiger is barely a top-tier soul beast, which is only equivalent to a high-level human martial soul." He recognized the soul beast and asked, puzzled.

The older sister didn't explain, but instead smiled mysteriously and said, "Let's go! We'll follow it!"

Su Ming was puzzled. Following his sister's example, he used his [Disguise] talent to conceal his aura and quietly followed them.

Chapter Fourteen: Wind and Thunder Demon Tiger

As Su Ming continued to follow him, his expression gradually changed.

The young boy exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be..."

"Shh!" Su Xuan'er quickly raised a slender finger and said, "Keep your voice down. The Heavenly Azure Demon Tiger can use the wind to eavesdrop on sounds from a great distance."

Upon hearing this, Su Ming immediately shut up obediently.

The older sister looked satisfied and pointed to the group of more than a dozen Sky Blue Demon Tigers that were emerging one after another, saying, "In common knowledge, Sky Blue Demon Tigers prefer to act alone. As the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain. It is very rare for them to gather into a group like this."

“This means…” she paused, then said, “that they have a leader, a king!”

"The king must be of the same lineage as the Skystorm Demon Tiger, which can summon superior-grade soul beasts. Considering the abundant wind and thunder attributes in this Gobi Desert, the king is very likely a mutated Skystorm Demon Tiger, or at least a top-tier soul beast!"

Su Ming picked up where his sister left off, his eyes growing brighter and brighter as he spoke.

The Sky Tiger is inherently a dual-attribute wind and dark elemental, and also possesses a formidable physique.

However, it is only a high-level soul beast because it has the same problem as those high-level martial souls: it has all kinds of attributes but is not proficient in any of them. Against top-level martial souls, its mixed attributes can be easily broken.

However, if it mutates, it will have powerful wind and dark attributes, and strong overall physical qualities among its peers, perfectly matching Su Ming's martial soul.

"Yes, so knowledge shouldn't be learned mechanically. In the future, you can find a top-tier soul beast that suits you by visiting some soul beast clans." Su Xuan'er nodded and taught her.

"Wait a minute?" Su Ming suddenly asked with a suspicious look, "How do you know that the cultivation level of that king is suitable?"

"That's easy. Look at that group of Skywind Demon Tigers, the strongest one is only over 10,000 years old. This means that even the king of Skywind Demon Tigers, which is over 30,000 years old, can't suppress it. Based on the battle strength, that king's cultivation is probably around 6,000 or 7,000 years old."

Su Xuan'er smiled.

The siblings followed the group of Skystorm Demon Tigers, but as they walked, they began to sense that something was wrong.

"Sister, it seems like we're heading towards the territory of the Purple Jade Bamboo?" Su Ming said strangely.

Su Xuan'er was also a little puzzled. She said, "Perhaps that king also discovered the Purple Jade Bamboo, whose attributes are suitable, and plans to devour it to improve his cultivation."

But when the two arrived at the venue, they realized they had guessed wrong.

A giant, purplish-black tiger was seen coiled beneath a graceful, upright bamboo stalk, with the surrounding raging thunder and storms inhaling and exhaling into its body with each breath.

The giant tiger emanated a faint purplish-black glow, and the blue stripes on its body seemed to possess a spirit, detaching from its body, just as if it were using the Purple Jade Bamboo to condense its wind and thunder attributes.

After observing for a moment, Su Ming said, "That king should have the bloodline of Qiongqi, and its mutation direction is close to that of the peerless ferocious beast Qiongqi."

Qiongqi and Taotie are listed as one of the four great ferocious beasts. Qiongqi is actually a tiger with wings. It is a type of leopard and, apart from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger lineage, is one of the few tiger-type ferocious beasts comparable to the nine Dragon Kings.

"Hmm." The older sister nodded and said, "It has a very strong and pure dark aura. If the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is evil, then the Qiongqi bloodline is the most ferocious and demonic."

"Plus, its wind and thunder attributes have been refined by the Purple Jade Bamboo, making it even better than an ultimate soul beast. You're very lucky, little brother," Su Xuan'er exclaimed.

"I just didn't expect that all the soul beasts I needed would be in this place." Su Ming was starting to believe in his luck. Both the Purple Jade Bamboo and the Wind and Thunder Demon Tiger were suitable as his soul rings.

Su Xuan'er observed that, centered on the Purple Jade Bamboo, one after another, Heavenly Azure Demon Tigers lay coiled down in the Gobi Desert. The closer they were to the bamboo, the higher their status and the stronger they were.

"This is a bit difficult. The Sky Blue Demon Tiger pack has already formed a symbiotic relationship with the Purple Cloud Jade Bamboo. We are facing a Sky Blue Demon Tiger pack empowered by extreme wind and thunder!" The older sister said solemnly.

She told her brother, "Find a safe place and hide using [Disguise], otherwise I won't be able to take care of you when I'm going all out."

Su Ming nodded obediently and then disappeared in a flash.

Su Xuan'er trusted her younger brother. He was strong and had the ability to disguise himself, making him highly capable of protecting himself.

Su Ming lay in ambush on the distant Gobi Desert, looking down from above and clearly seeing the battlefield.

Su Ming was speechless as his older sister charged headlong into the location of the Purple Jade Bamboo, seemingly taking on a group of enemies single-handedly. "Does she have to be so reckless?"

Rumble!

A deafening roar filled his ears, and the battlefield before him was illuminated by a tapestry of purple, black, and blood-red lights, sometimes accompanied by raging storms and thunder, and at other times by overwhelming malevolent energy.

This strange phenomenon lasted for more than ten minutes.

Finally, a crimson sun rose into the sky, ending all the commotion.

Su Ming was shocked; he hadn't expected his sister to be so powerful when she went all out!

A moment later, a red light flashed to Su Ming's side. It was Su Xuan'er. She was in bad shape. A bright red light was flashing around her, her pretty face was pale, and she was holding a dying giant tiger in her hand.

"Go!" she hissed.

Before Su Ming could react, his sister grabbed his neck with her other free hand, and in a flash, a gust of wind howled, and he was lifted up and flown away.

Fifteen minutes later, they had already left the Gobi Desert far behind and landed in a dense and crisp forest.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Su Ming asked with some concern.

"It's nothing, just anemia, I'll be fine after a while," Su Xuan'er said with a light cough, her pretty face still pale and worrying.

The young boy was speechless upon hearing this. He had heard his older sister talk about his Blood Tiger Martial Soul over the past three years, and all his strength lay in his third Soul Skill.

With the Blood Burning Technique combined with a suitable Soul Bone and the [Blood Rage] skill, it is entirely possible to challenge opponents of higher levels.

Back then, the elders of Shrek Sea God Pavilion all considered this skill amazing and hoped that she could stay at Shrek Academy, but her sister had family members and refused.

Blood Burning Technique is powerful, but like the Haotian Sect's [Ring Explosion] technique, it has serious side effects and consumes a lot of blood!

According to her sister, after her father used the "Bloodlust" technique, he became a terrible sight, skin and bones, looking like he was on drugs.

Fortunately, when it came to Su Xuan'er's generation, the Shrek Academy leaders took pity on her talent and, in order to make up for this deficiency, and in addition to Su Xuan'er's great contributions to the academy, they rewarded her with a top-grade soul bone, the Vampire Tiger's ten-thousand-year right arm bone.

The soul skill is the [Crimson Vampire Array] that was used to kill the Dark Demon God Tiger before!

Even so, the older sister's condition did not look very optimistic. Her skin was pale and bloodless, barely maintaining a human appearance, like a beautiful corpse frozen for thousands of years.

However, Su Ming still envied this skill. Unfortunately, his martial soul was almost a different kind of martial soul, and the [Blood Rage] skill required him to modify it himself.

Su Xuan'er sighed softly, "I was careless. I didn't expect that with the help of the Purple Jade Bamboo, this Wind and Thunder Demon Tiger could reach that level."

Su Ming looked down at the emaciated, purplish-black giant tiger that his sister had thrown to the ground, and asked curiously, "Sister, did you hold back?"

“Although we should preserve the resources of soul beasts and not kill them indiscriminately, I have already lost my strength. The Sky Blue Demon Tiger group has suffered heavy casualties.” Su Xuan’er shook her head and said, then added, “However, I did not kill the Purple Cloud Jade Bamboo.”

"This kind of soul beast is too rare. Our family can keep this information and use it to trade with powerful soul masters."

Upon hearing this, Su Ming felt a chill run down his spine. He could imagine how much heritage a thousand-year-old Soul Master family like the Su family had preserved.
