The sky was shining brightly, but no matter how much it increased the intensity of the light, it could not penetrate the towering and dense primeval tree layer under the Dongyang Mountain Range.

At this moment, two figures walked in the mottled shade of the trees, one looking tall and the other thin, but very small in front of the huge trees.

"Alright, I'll send you here, and you'll be up to you. ”

"Ah~ Master, you're leaving? Don't you want me to cultivate under more guidance? I'm afraid I'll go astray. ”

"You still have to rely on yourself in the matter of cultivation, and if you want to quickly improve your level, you can only do it through real fighting. I'm going to make it impossible for you to fully exert your skills here, and I'll hinder your rapid ascension. Don't worry, this is only the periphery of the mountain range, and the soul power level of the soul beast is not even a first order, which is very suitable for your cultivation. However, you will only encounter higher levels if you go too deep yourself. There is a soul puppet that I have refined in this ring, and its strength should be comparable to that of a strong person at the level of a sword commander, so as long as the level of the soul beast does not exceed the fourth order, you don't have to worry!" As he spoke, Zhao Kaiyang threw a ring to Xiao He and waved his hand.

"Hmm~ What is a soul puppet? How to use this thing?" Xiao He used his soul power to probe the ring, and found that there was a white puppet-like corpse inside, without the slightest life.

"Haha, the operation is very simple, you only need to input a little soul power into its head. It's just that one of the drawbacks of the soul puppet is that it has to be charged every time it is used up, if you have a little soul power to charge that sword commander-level soul puppet, it can only be said to be a white tower, so you can only use it once. Don't worry, in addition to this, there is still my soul power imprint left in your soul core, if there is any trouble that you can't deal with, I will rush over with the Void Escape Technique. However, I am ugly to say that I am ahead, don't call me in a little trouble, if I come to the place where you will be pleasant!"

Zhao Kaiyang pretended to be mysterious, waved his hand, and then said:

"Now many people just know that I am a sword immortal-level powerhouse, but no one knows that I have another identity, that is, a soul master, that is, a person who specializes in attacking with soul power. And the strength of the soul master is related to the level of his personal soul core and the soul skills used. In our Sword Soul Continent, using the soul sword to attack is equivalent to a physical attack, and the soul master is a magic attack. The so-called art industry has a specialization, not everyone can become a soul master, this requires a strong talent. Soul skills are actually very boring to learn, and many people can't stick to the end, and naturally practicing swordsmanship is also extremely difficult. No matter what, as long as you have strength and are strong enough, others will submit to you, otherwise you will be oppressed and endure humiliation and steal your life!"

"Hmm~ Master, I'm very interested in the soul master, can you also teach me some soul skills or something? I want to have more life-saving skills. Xiao He nodded at him, and then asked with interest.

Zhao Kaiyang shook his head, turned around to face Xiao He, then gently patted him on the shoulder, and said:

"You little devil, do you know what it means to be greedy and chewy? You must know that in two months, there will be a sword competition, and if you win, you will enter the sword hall and you will be able to choose. Don't think of me as your swordsmanship and soul skill library, if you want to come, it's really unusual, if you want to, you can fight for it yourself. Oh, by the way, I'll pass on some of these imprints of information about soul beasts to you. ”

Then, Zhao Kaiyang moved his hand to Xiao He's Heavenly Spirit Cover, and a trace of soul power information entered his memory.

He looked at Xiao He's reminiscing look, and didn't wait for him to come back to his senses, turned around and walked a few steps, and said:

"Okay, I'll come back to see you in a month, and see if I can awaken the sword spirit when the time comes! In short, you can't always rely on me, otherwise you will never learn to grow, let alone talk about any strong people, so you can do it yourself." ”

"Well, master, I know, you old man can rest assured. You'll see you in a month, and I'll be stronger by then!"

Xiao He finally nodded and shouted to the tall back that was gradually getting smaller in the distance.

"Will I be the only one left?"

Xiao He was full of emotion, standing motionless in place, muttering in his mouth, and the fists under him were unconsciously clenched.

When he came back to his senses, he looked at the bronze-colored ring lying quietly in the palm of his hand, and said to himself happily:

"I can't imagine that so many things can be stored in small things, so let me see again, what does the master still have for me inside?"

Then, he began to sit cross-legged, quietly closed his eyes, and probed a trace of soul power from his soul core into the Na Na ring. I saw that in addition to the flying soul puppet, there were some bottles and cans and the like, but the others were gone. Xiao He guessed that it should be to heal injuries or something, presumably Zhao Kaiyang had already expected that he would be injured, so he deliberately refined it in advance.

"Soul Gathering Pill can help the sword master below, the seven-week heaven peak can be promoted without hidden dangers, and the one above the sword master level will not have much effect. This thing is good, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort if I reach the seven-week promotion in the future? However, if I don't feel like a last resort, I should try not to use it, it will weaken my self-will, and it will be difficult to become a strong person in the future. Soul Rejuvenation can help people who have depleted soul cores to recover their soul power as soon as possible, and the higher the level, the worse the effect. Well, this thing is good, it is very suitable for use when the soul power is depleted, and it must be useful for this forest battle. Soul nourishing liquid can help the human body quickly breed soul power and quickly upgrade to a higher level. Body fluid can help open the meridians and strengthen the body! Wow, it's also a good thing. ”

Xiao He seemed to be shopping, and he didn't expect that Zhao Kaiyang did leave a lot of good things, and he was pleasantly surprised.

Just as he was completely immersed in Taobao-style joy, a gray python began to slowly descend down the huge thick trunk next to him, trying to approach Xiao He who was meditating, and from time to time he was spitting scarlet letters, exhaling a cold breath from his mouth.

Xiao He couldn't help but come back to his senses, his body trembled a little, and when he looked around and there was nothing, he was a little depressed, and said:

"Uh~ Why did the surrounding temperature drop when it came down, something was wrong, I didn't say hello at all, and it could still be through the cold feeling in my heart, accompanied by a trace of fishy smell, what to do, and let me not let me go to the mall, I haven't finished reading it yet. I'll go~"

"Hiss~hiss"

"Who's up there~" Xiao He raised his head suddenly, and in an instant, his whole heart was half cold. Suddenly, I saw a giant snake with its mouth wide open, its face hideous, its fangs exposed, spitting at him, and suddenly biting at him.

Xiao He kicked on his hind feet and jumped a few meters back, dodging the big snake's surprise attack. Seeing that the blow was unsuccessful, the big snake immediately climbed down from the trunk of the tree, moved quickly towards his direction, and chased after him, but he Xiaohe's reaction was also very fast, and when the big snake just moved the attack, his feet had already made movements, and several rapid attacks were easily dodged by him.

The big snake also seems to be aware of the difficulty of its prey, and it will not easily stay in place and let it bite, and it is also very difficult to move its huge body every time, so it is naturally difficult to bite Xiao He, who is agile.

It may be that many attacks have been fruitless, or that you are tired. I saw it climb up the trunk again, and continued to spit out letters, exhaling cold breath constantly, as if panting, indicating that it was tired.

At the same time, he also made a look of being ready to go, wanting to take advantage of Xiao He's inattention to prepare for the next surprise attack and kill him with one blow.

Xiao He saw that the big snake suddenly stopped attacking, and couldn't help but pat his chest, panting heavily in his mouth, and then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

This big snake looks really scary, but its attack speed is relatively slow, but if it is bitten, Xiao He estimates that he will have to give his life on the spot and become a big snake's lunch.

He patted his chest, and his heart calmed down as soon as possible, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and said:

"I'm scared to death, let me see what kind of character you are"

After that, he began to search for soul beast information in his memory.

"Hmm~ It turned out to be a black-bellied python, with a dark black belly and a dark gray back when it matured, and its combat power could reach a third-order soul beast, compared to the human swordsman level. I see that you are now gray all over, presumably you have just stepped into society, no wonder you lack experience and are so slow to attack. Since you came to the door, then I will try your hand at it, and I will get a braised tender python meat tonight, and open the meat!" Xiao He's eyes changed, and he looked like a hunter to the big snake in front of him.

With that, he pulled out the silver sword directly from his back, and the stars and sunlight shining through the trees on the sword body suddenly became flashing, and the big snake became furious as if it couldn't see the light, and every minute he wanted to bite the provocateur in front of him.

"Hehe, Brother Snake, can't you wait? I'll definitely treat you well later! Gintama, let's go!"

As he spoke, Xiao He began to urge the soul core, and a large amount of soul power surged out. The silver sword also seemed to understand the will, and the white sword qi began to rise above the sword body, and it instantly became bright, and even the surrounding air began to heat up a little.

His eyes began to become fierce, and then he rushed directly towards the head of the snake.

The snake soul beast was already cold by nature, and the sword in Xiao He's hand made the air hot and dry, which suddenly made it even more violent and restless, and saw Xiao He rushing directly towards it. Suddenly, it directly opened its mouth and bit towards Xiao He, who rushed over.

"Hmph~ carving insect skills, see how the master overturns you!"

Xiao He sneered, jumped directly, avoided Shekou, and jumped into the air. His feet slammed down the trunk of the tree and stabbed at the snake's head. Gulf:

"Livestock, eat the master's blow, kill quickly, pierce!"

I saw that the sword qi on the sword in Xiao He's hand instantly converged to the tip of the sword, and that point also flashed with dazzling light, and the big snake below was uncomfortable with the strong light, closed its eyes tightly, and even its movements became stopped at that moment.

Seeing its difficult appearance, Xiao He was also happy in his heart, increased the output of soul power, and tried his best to stab out this sword.

"Bell~"

It was like the sound of gold and iron colliding violently in an instant, Xiao He was shocked to the point that his mouth was numb, and the force transmitted from the tip of the sword to his hand directly shook him out, and his whole body smashed directly on the trunk of the tree.

"Ouch~ It hurts, why is this thing so hard?"

Xiao He grinned in pain, endured the pain from behind him, and opened his eyes hard, only to see that a scale in the center of the big snake's head only had a little dent!

"Damn, this desperate blow only caused such a small amount of damage. Sure enough, the physique of beasts is not comparable to that of humans, so it is no wonder that they can use their bodies as soul cores. No, the idea is too hard, I'll have to slip away before the snake opens its eyes. Otherwise, if you keep consuming like this guy, I will definitely be the one who will be eaten in the end!"

Xiao He looked shocked, scolded in his heart, he didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and shouted directly at the big snake:

"Hehe, Brother Snake, you can take care of your eyes here, boy, I'll retire first, no need to send it." ”

Before the words fell, Xiao He slipped away directly, ran all the way, and disappeared after a while.
