Douluo Continent: Xiao Xiao, I'm going to control you fiercely!

Xiao Xiaoli, 10.6 years.

The outer area of ​​Sunset Forest.

This time, the team was led by three veterans of the Martial Soul system: Lin Huiqun, Yan Shaozhe, and Cai Meier.

Only one person obtained the Soul Ring: Xiao Xiao.

There's no way around it; Soul Masters cultivate very quickly before level 40, and only slow down after level 40.

Ma Xiaotao is currently stuck at level 69 and will probably need another six months to a year to break through.

Tang Ya's breakthrough time was roughly the same as Ma Xiaotao's because her third soul ring was a thousand-year-old one, which gave her two more levels of soul power to cultivate.

Therefore, having reached the bottleneck early on, Xiao Xiao had no choice but to set off alone to hunt for spirit rings.

However, Xu Shu did not forget Ma Xiaotao's battle armor.

Although spirit forging is extremely mentally taxing, Xiao Xiao's mental and soul power was insufficient to forge all the spirit forging metals.

However, during that month, Xiao Xiao also completed the spiritual forging of five pieces of Blazing Heart Jade.

That's enough to complete two parts of Ma Xiaotao's battle armor.

To avoid troubling Fan Yu and slowing down the progress of others.

During this month, Xu Shu also manipulated Xiao Xiao to take Yan Shaozhe to the Soul Guidance Department and drag Qian Duoduo, who was busy with the department's affairs, into Fan Yu's school to learn how to make battle armor.

(Qian Duoduo's level eight Soul Master status seems almost fake. In the original story, he didn't make any inventions or Soul Tools, and was always busy with other matters. He was only brought out during the Beast Tide battle to claim he had found a way to break through to level nine Soul Master... So, he's portrayed as a practical Soul Master who only uses hands-on experience and masters some Soul Tool creation. His level isn't as high as the Sun and Moon Soul Masters.)

As for Qian Duoduo's own thoughts...

Xiao Xiao and Yan Shaozhe's explanation was that Qian Duoduo, as the dean of the Soul Guidance Department, would definitely have to find time to learn how to make battle armor in the future, so it was better to learn it sooner rather than later.

And when Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er's child is born, he will also make battle armor for his child.

Now, an excellent opportunity to practice making the two-character battle armor of Ma Xiaotao is right in front of him, and he has to seize it!

Moreover, this is a two-word battle armor, not an ordinary one-word battle armor.

As the dean of the Soul Guidance Department, he absolutely must master the core technologies!

Under the vote of all the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, Qian Duoduo finally succumbed to Yan Shaozhe's tyranny.

The final result was gratifying.

Although Qian Duoduo, an eighth-level Soul Master, lacks creativity, his skill in crafting second-word battle armor for eighth-level Soul Tools is still quite good.

Before Xiao Xiao and the others set off, Qian Duoduo had already completed Fan Yu's training course and was able to skillfully grasp the metal veins and breath of the Spirit Forging Blazing Heart Jade, and was trying to make gauntlets and forearm armor.

Song Yunzhi, who had already retired but was pulled back by Xiao Xiao to handle the college's complicated affairs, might harbor considerable resentment.

"I never expected that Shrek Academy would have such detailed records of the Titan Ape's habitat."

"This saves me the trouble of opening the Pokédex and locking onto the 100,000-year-old Titan Ape."

Xu Shu opened Xiao Xiao's character panel, clicked the "Interact with Character" button, and continued his daily brainwashing.

"The first soul skill that the 100,000-year Titan Giant Ape soul ring provided to Tang San was an extremely powerful single-target charged attack soul skill that could be created by combining with his martial soul. When fully activated, its power even surpassed that of the Great Sumeru Hammer."

"The second soul skill provided is the gravity control field, a signature skill of the Titan Giant Ape clan, which can perfectly complement Xiao Xiao's sealing ability."

"Generally speaking, the soul skills produced by soul bones originate from the soul beast's own traits or talents."

"The first soul skill, Earth Power, that the 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape soul bone provided for Tang San was just like that."

"But the other soul skill provided by this soul bone, like the previous Golden Tortoise Shell, is Titan Sky Strike, which was proactively modified to suit Tang San."

"Compressing air into a cannon, unleashing the full power of a Titan Ape's attack?"

"It feels a bit weak. Why don't we descend from the sky and use gravity to give it a kick?"

"I wonder what kind of soul skill Xiao Xiao will get after obtaining the soul ring and soul bone."

After reciting his lines as usual, Xu Shu closed the character panel and continued to control Xiao Xiao forward.

Here, Xu Shu swapped the positions of two of the spirit ring skills and spirit bone skills that the Titan Giant Ape provided to Tang San.

At the same time, the vague descriptions leave room for imagination regarding Xiao Xiao's AI.

It's unclear what kind of soul skill Xiao Xiao will ultimately acquire. If the final soul skill is rather underwhelming, then we'll have to go back and try again with new hints.

As Xu Shu muttered to himself, Xiao Xiao and his group finally arrived at the Titan Ape settlement in the central area of ​​Sunset Forest.

A system notification also popped up at this moment.

【Ding--】

[The Soul Beast Titan Ape's illustration has been unlocked in the character guide. Players can click to track it and view its detailed location.]

Next, they used the same old test-taking rhetoric as before.

Xu Shu controlled Xiao Xiao to lead Yan Shaozhe and his group to find the 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape located in an area west of Sunset Forest.

On the way, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but feel envious.

"Xiao Xiao, the god you inherited takes such good care of you. Whenever you need it, he will send you divine messages to tell you where there are 100,000-year-old soul beasts of this race."

"Such meticulous divine examination is truly unprecedented."

"Ten thousand years ago, the Sea God Tang San only had his last spirit ring, which was a fixed requirement. All the other spirit rings simply increased the age of the spirit rings."

"If we had received the same treatment back then, we wouldn't have been unable to find a suitable spirit beast and ultimately had to compromise and choose a ten-thousand-year ninth spirit ring under the agreement with the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest."

"This is Xiao Xiao's good fortune; you can't have it."

"However, why do the Titan Giant Apes live in the Sunset Forest instead of the Star Dou Great Forest? And why do these 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Apes cultivate in the western part of the Sunset Forest instead of living with their herd?"

Beside Yan Shaozhe, Vice Dean Cai Meier became puzzled about the location of the 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape.

"You youngsters, it's obvious you haven't properly studied the Sea God Pavilion's collection of books."

Lin Huiqun, who was at the very front, laughed and scolded.

"Titan Giant Apes have always been distributed throughout the continent, but the 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape that was sacrificed to the Sea God Tang San in the Star Dou Great Forest was particularly famous."

"As for 100,000-year-old soul beasts, when they cultivate, they will occupy a place in the forest with the most abundant spiritual energy as their territory, and they will not stay with their clan."

Off-screen, Xu Shu listened to Lin Huiqun's explanation and sneered mockingly:

"Perhaps they sensed the aura of their ancestor in the Haotian Sect and are cultivating in the Sunset Forest so they can protect the Haotian Sect at any time."

Roar--

During the conversation, the group arrived near the 100,000-year-old Titan Ape.

Not far away, the roars of Titan apes hunting their prey could be heard.

Lin Huiqun and the other two exchanged glances, then said in unison to Xiao Xiao:

"Xiao Xiao, the three of us will go over and activate our Martial Soul True Forms to subdue the 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape in front of us. After you see our signal, activate all your Soul Skills to enhance the weight of your Martial Soul, and then fly into the air and use your third Soul Skill, Eternal Profound Restriction, to smash it down on the Titan Giant Ape's head."

"Without using your full strength, you'd probably have a hard time even breaking through the physical defenses of a powerful 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape."

"If you smash the cauldron down from a great height, even if you fail to break through the Titan Ape's defenses, you can still smash its brain into a pile of mush."

Xiao Xiao nodded obediently and replied:

"Understood, Grandma Lin."

Then, Lin Huiqun and the other two transformed into three streaks of light and rushed toward the Titan Giant Ape according to the established tactics.

Xiao Xiao also took out a level-six flying soul tool from Biyuntian and flew into the sky ahead of time to wait.

Soon, Xiao Xiao, who had flown 300 meters into the air, saw Lin Huiqun and his two companions fighting against the Titan Giant Ape.

In Douluo Continent, the strength of a 100,000-year-old soul beast is actually comparable to that of a Title Douluo of level 92-93.

When encountering a Super Douluo of level 95 or above, a 100,000-year-old soul beast can only run away.

Moreover, with three Super Douluo surrounding it today, it is destined to die.
