"The Ming Dynasty..."

Xiao Wu thought that Daming would be furious again and was about to speak to dissuade him, but she saw the huge bull's head slowly lower, revealing a serious expression of thought.

"Huh?" She opened her mouth, but the words got stuck in her throat. She didn't know how to speak for a moment. Logically speaking, shouldn't she be disgusted? Why does she seem to be deep in thought?

The Azure Bull Python was indeed carefully calculating.

Absorbing the third spirit ring for ten thousand years, are humans really not afraid of mental backlash? Wait, mental impact?!

If this human suffers a mental breakdown and brain death while absorbing a spirit ring due to the lingering resentment of a ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast...

Does that mean...?

Can Sister Xiao Wu break free from her constraints and regain her freedom through this?

Judging from Xiao Wu's description, their minds seem to be relatively independent, and this backlash is highly unlikely to affect her.

If we approach it from this angle, then as long as the body doesn't die, it doesn't count as death, and Xiao Wu Jie has a very high probability of continuing to survive.

If he doesn't actively absorb the spirit ring, there's no way for me to do it.

But now he brought it up himself.

good chance!

"Who?"

Xiao Yan was indeed somewhat surprised. How could the other party cooperate?

It seems the negotiations went really well. He gave Xiao Wu a satisfied look that said, "Mission accomplished, worthy of praise."

Xiao Wu opened her mouth again, her mind a jumble of thoughts, unable to make sense of the intricacies of the situation.

"Master... Xiao Yan..."

She instinctively wanted to speak up and remind her.

"In the Star Dou Great Forest, there happens to be a ten-thousand-year-old Demon Eye Tree."

The deep, resonant voice of the Azure Bull Python rang out at just the right moment, drowning out Xiao Wu's unspoken words.

"It perfectly matches your requirements: it's plant-based, around 13,000 years old, and possesses a rare spiritual attribute."

Demonic Tree with Demonic Eyes?

Xiao Wu's pupils contracted slightly.

That thing is considered evil among soul beasts, specializing in mental erosion and illusions; every beast should kill it.

It's good that he was killed. Does the Ming Dynasty really care about Xiao Yan?

She had no doubt that Xiao Yan could absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring, after all, she had personally witnessed his two purple thousand-year soul rings.

But the Ming Dynasty was unaware of this...

"The Demon Eye Tree..." Xiao Yan repeated, raising an eyebrow slightly, "It doesn't sound like anything good."

Is his martial spirit going to develop in some strange direction? This snake... is it trying to cause trouble?

He can listen to advice, but when it comes to making decisions, he always trusts only himself.

"You humans may not know this."

The Azure Bull Python seemed to sense suspicion, and its voice remained steady.

"Spiritual attribute spirit beasts have always been extremely powerful, but in the last thousand years, humans have gone in the wrong direction, pursuing direct attack and defense too much. Believe me, the spiritual attribute is definitely one of the strongest attributes, and I'm doing this for your own good."

He paused, then his words carried a hint of heaviness:

"After all, Xiao Wu and you... have gone through that. Even if we don't want to, we are powerless to do anything now. If you become stronger, at least... you can protect her to some extent."

"I'm not helping you," the Azure Bull Python's bull-like eyes turned to Xiao Wu, its voice low, "I'm helping Sister Xiao Wu."

These words seemed sincere and heartfelt, and even Erming, who had been silent all along, let out a low growl upon hearing them, his large head drooping slumped down, and his whole body exuding a heavy sense of dejection.

Even the Ming Dynasty said so...

That Xiao Wu is no longer entirely the Xiao Wu they remember who only needed to be protected.

"Roar—!" Erming roared irritably, no longer looking this way, and with a sudden leap, his huge figure disappeared into the depths of the dense forest, venting his frustration alone.

Only Xiao Yan, Xiao Wu, and the Azure Sky Bull Python coiled like a mountain remained on the field.

Xiao Yan glanced in the direction where Er Ming disappeared, but his thoughts lingered more on the words "spiritual attribute".

He hadn't seen a detailed description of it in the Douluo Continent books, but... spirit? Could it be related to the "soul"?

It's unclear, but highly likely.

If it truly can enhance the attributes of the soul, then in the Dou Qi Continent, there are only a handful of places where this can be done...

The benefits of elevating the soul are countless.

Thirteen thousand years...

The year wasn't unusual and didn't exceed his expectations.

Try?

Give it a try!

"Thank you for your help, please lead the way."

Xiao Yan responded with the same sincerity.

"It's no trouble at all..."

The Azure Bull Python's voice was low and deep, and it even lowered its massive body, revealing a section of its head covered with bluish-black scales.

"Come on up, it'll be faster."

What kind of... sycophantic behavior is this?

Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow inwardly, but showed no hesitation on his face. He leaped and landed steadily between the horns, which were thicker than tree trunks. He casually patted the bull horn that was right next to him, feeling its cold and hard texture.

The Azure Bull Python's body stiffened almost imperceptibly for a moment.

"Hold on tight."

He uttered two more words, and after Xiao Wu gracefully leaped onto the other side of the bend, his massive body suddenly sank, then pierced through the forest like a bolt of dark blue lightning.

It flew straight towards the other side of the forest.

The wind pressure hit my face, and the trees became blurry afterimages in my vision.

Xiao Yan steadied himself and savored this unprecedented experience, feeling... quite good.

But this snake is cooperating a little too much.

Just a moment ago he was so full of murderous intent, but now he's all over the place. Does he really think he's a brainless monkey who can't see anything? Or is he just taking advantage of his young age and thinking he's easy to fool?

There's definitely some scheming involved.

But... his trump cards and level of genius are far more numerous than the other party imagined.

The monkey left, and now no one can stop him.

The risks are manageable, and the potential returns... are worth exploring.

and……

His stay at the Xiao family this time was not without reason.

"Little Wishing Well, the secret technique we used last time made no progress, but this time the improvement is surprisingly fast."

Xiao Yan raised his hand, his fingers gently stroking the seemingly simple and unadorned dark ring on his ring finger. He hadn't expected to find such a bargain in the market of Wutan City.

What a coincidence! What a coincidence! What an incredible coincidence!

With a rich woman by his side, he is invincible.

Also, thanks to a senior who also has the surname Gu.

……

The Azure Bull Python was very fast. In less than half a cup of tea's time, it had already crossed the central area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest and arrived at a dark forest area filled with a faint gray mist.

There was no slowdown, and no advance warning.

Just as Xiao Yan had made out the outline of a twisted, strange tree in the mist ahead!

"roar--!"

The Azure Bull Python swung its massive head violently, and a condensed, almost tangible, dark blue-green beam of light shot out from its mouth without warning!

It instantly pierced through a distance of hundreds of meters, accurately striking the trunk of that strange tree!

Boom! ...

A deafening explosion swept outwards, and the violent shockwave ripped through the surrounding trees, tearing them to shreds.

The ancient soul beast known as the "Demon Eye Tree," with its twisted and gnarled trunk as hard as iron, had a huge hole blasted open by this attack!

The aura of the entire demonic tree visibly weakened, and the eerie mental pressure that had permeated the surroundings became scattered and chaotic.

Just one strike.

Almost instantly.

"A show of force? Or a release of pent-up emotions?"

Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow again, saying he absolutely wouldn't believe it if he said it wasn't intentional.
