The person is perfect, but the system is stuck in a fantastical sewer.

[Ding! Congratulations on perfectly absorbing the Love-Sickness Crimson. The corresponding Soul Skill effect has been loaded.]

Just as this talking stone was getting entangled with Wang Teng...

A dark red energy ring suddenly appeared beneath his feet.

According to the standards of Douluo Continent.

Only soul beasts of 10 years or more can possess such a soul ring.

At the same time, Wang Teng was able to use both of the soul skills he had previously acquired.

One is a passive skill that increases physical constitution tenfold.

Another is that they have extraordinary comprehension skills and can learn someone's skills by observing their every move.

It can even be elevated to a higher level.

But the most important thing facing Wang Teng was...

Nothing is better than getting rid of this entanglement with the God-Slaying Stone.

Strangely enough, the soul skill had just been bound.

Wang Teng recognized the other person's identity at a glance.

This stubborn stone is actually the Primordial Ten Fiends God-Slaying Stone.

Moreover, from the other party's words and actions.

Wang Teng even saw the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques that controlled the God-Slaying Stone.

That's interesting!

What's even more incredible is...

At this moment, his physical strength increased tenfold.

Originally, a half-step Blood Refining Realm cultivator could possess a maximum strength of about 5 jin.

If the physique increases tenfold, that's 550,000 jin (225 tons).

It's not something that just anyone can have.

With a slight wave of his hand, Wang Teng sent the stone that had bitten his arm flying away.

It rolled on the ground more than ten times.

But he still stubbornly got up!

"I won't stand for it! You, you owe me my precious medicine!"

"I won't allow it!"

Just as the two were arguing fiercely, a rustling sound suddenly came from the bushes in the distance.

"Wow! It smells amazing! Even better than lion meat!"

A childish yet powerful voice rang out, followed by a voice that sounded about ten years old.

A tiny, fair-skinned baby with big, bright eyes hopped out.

He was wearing a small vest made of animal skin, carrying a small white porcelain bowl in his hand, and even had a suspicious milk stain on the corner of his mouth.

She looked like a delicate porcelain doll, but with each step she took, the ground made a dull thud.

"That's... the young Desolate Heavenly Emperor?"

Wang Teng was startled, and his movement to drive away the God-Slaying Stone froze instantly.

According to the timeline, Xiao Shihao should still be on his way to finding a great opportunity.

The little one had originally followed the scent, but immediately spotted the rock that was struggling and cursing in mid-air.

"Wow! A talking stone!"

The little one's eyes instantly lit up like light bulbs, revealing a set of pearly white teeth, and he pounced on the prey like a hungry tiger.

"Hey, where did this brat come from? Don't touch me, I'm here to collect a debt!"

The God-Slaying Stone sensed an inexplicable threat and was so frightened that it quickly loosened Wang Teng's trouser leg, trying to escape underground.

But the little one was incredibly fast, and his tiny hands seemed to contain some kind of rule.

Drawing a mysterious arc in the air, with a "snap," he precisely caught the God-Slaying Stone in his palm.

"It's so hard! But it feels cool to the touch, it must taste delicious!"

The little one curiously brought the God-Slaying Stone to his nose and smelled it, then tapped it with his knuckles, making a "clang clang" metallic sound.

"Delicious my foot! I'm made of stone! Don't you know what 'prestige' means?"

The God-Slaying Stone twisted wildly in the little boy's hands, but the kid's strength was outrageous, as if he were a reincarnation of a true dragon cub.

"It can even swear! Big brother, do you raise this rock?"

The little boy looked up at Wang Teng, his face still innocent and naive.

But deep in his eyes lurked a cunning glint: "If you don't say it's yours, I'll take it home and use it to make milk."

The God-Slaying Stone trembled violently from being kneaded, emitting a scream like a pig being slaughtered:

"Let go of me, you little brat! Ouch, ouch, ouch... I'm going to split open!"

"You little devil! Let go! Or I'll really hit you!"

Wang Teng stood to the side, his lips twitching.

This scene is too surreal: the future Desolate Emperor is currently playing with a Ten Fiend God Stone like a toy.

The more the God-Slaying Stone struggled, the more excited Little Shi Hao became, his little face flushed, as if he suddenly remembered something.

He took out a fist-sized fruit from the small animal skin pouch.

The fruit is entirely dark blue, with a dreamlike crystalline sheen flowing across its surface, and a faint aura of extreme cold emanates from it, making the surrounding air seem frozen.

The aroma carries a contradictory, burning sensation that captivates the senses at first sniff.

"Hey sir, how about I trade you this for a small stone?"

Just then, the unreliable electronic voice of the system in Wang Teng's mind exploded again:

[Ding! A top-grade immortal herb—a 30-year-old Ice and Fire Immortal Apricot—has been detected near the host!]

[Immortal Herb Grade: Top-tier divine herb, on par with the Acacia Heartbreak Red, capable of directly tempering an immune constitution to ice and fire, and elevating bloodlines to ultimate balance!]

[Because the host has already activated the Body Sect route, they are automatically identified as a potential absorbable target!]

Should we immediately draw upon the source?

Wang Teng: "..."

He stared at the azure fruit in Xiao Shihao's hand.

This fruit is not uncommon in Baiduan Mountain.

Wang Teng had seen it before when he passed by, but he didn't dare to eat it.

It's a roadside lane.

But the system insisted on recognizing it as the Ice and Fire Immortal Apricot, a supreme treasure from the other side of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in Douluo Continent!

Moreover, it's a 30-year-old piece, on par with the "Heartbreak Red" I just ate!

System, your recognition function is practically a professional at randomly identifying different dimensions...

But the next second, the system added:

[WARNING: This magical herb is already in the possession of someone else. Forcibly absorbing it will trigger karmic entanglements!]

[Recommendation: Acquire through trading, exchange, or other methods; success rate is 99.99%!]

Wang Teng's eyes lit up.

"Fine, I'll change it. I'm just worried about not being able to get rid of this stone!"

When Xiao Shihao heard Wang Teng agree to the exchange, his eyes immediately curved into crescents, and his little face was flushed with excitement.

"Great! Deal!"

He let out a cheerful, childish laugh, and with a quick release, tossed the still-struggling God-Slaying Stone into Wang Teng's arms.

Then, without waiting, he stuffed the azure fruit into Wang Teng's hand.

"Here you go, big brother! This fruit smells amazing; I specially saved the biggest one!"

As soon as he got his hands on the fruit, a strange energy of ice and fire surged into his palm, and Wang Teng felt a chilling coldness in half of his hand.

One side was scorching hot, yet the two extremes coexisted in a strange harmony, without any sense of repulsion.

While Wang Teng was secretly pleased with himself, the God-Slaying Stone was completely enraged.

It was originally thrown towards Wang Teng by Xiao Shihao, but it made a sharp turn in mid-air and flew back with a "whoosh".

It clung tightly to Wang Teng's shoulder, refusing to let go!

"Oh dear! No way! I won't trade!!"

"What right do you two have to sell me out?!"
