This guy is 10 years old?

"Such powerful force and cutting ability!"

Mr. Ji was very surprised, his eyes widening in astonishment.

In terms of sheer physical defense, the Piercing Horned Dragon is more than capable of ranking among the top defensive soul beasts. Crucially, this thousand-year-old Piercing Horned Dragon weighs at least three tons!

Such weight was actually knocked sideways by Tianming's second soul skill, which was truly excessive.

"As expected of a second soul ring of the millennium level."

He praised it sincerely.

"Not bad, not bad at all. This attack power is truly impressive." Chrysanthemum Douluo also exclaimed in admiration, and then urged, "Disciple, use your first soul skill to enhance it, and use it again to see how much it improves."

"Alright." Jing Tianming decisively unleashed the Moon Golden Wheel's first soul skill, Moon's Edge. This soul skill greatly enhances the Moon Golden Wheel's sharpness, thereby increasing its attack power and armor-piercing ability; it's an amplification skill. As this skill was activated, a layer of silvery-white light quickly spread along the edge of the Moon Golden Wheel's blade, shimmering coldly in the sunlight. Then, the Moon Golden Wheel began to spin again.

Then, just like before, it roared out and crashed hard into the carapace of the horned dragon.

Then, the massive body of the horned dragon was instantly ripped open at a 15-degree angle. Immediately afterward, the area first struck by the Moon Golden Wheel's main body, and then the areas struck by the two clones, were successively torn apart. The corpse was completely divided into four pieces, which crashed to the ground one after another.

"The improvement is so great!" Old Ji gasped, deeply shocked.

If this martial spirit hadn't undergone a malignant mutation and degeneration, it would be incredible!

Once Tianming grows up, I'm afraid Sword Douluo Chenxin's title of the continent's number one attack Douluo will have to be changed on the spot, right?

What a pity, what a real pity!

The more he thought about it, the more regrettable it seemed, and he sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Perhaps it was precisely because the martial souls Tianming awakened were too powerful and could not be tolerated by heaven and earth that they could not appear in their complete form.

The Sun and Moon Golden Wheel combines offense and defense, forming a unified force that can absorb the radiance of the sun and moon to continuously strengthen itself and its host. If it were to fully mature, both the martial soul and its host would be without weaknesses; who could defeat it? In his view, the fact that such a martial soul could not be fully revealed was truly a sign of divine jealousy!

Chrysanthemum Douluo felt the same way and was deeply saddened.

If his martial soul doesn't have any problems, and with his teacher protecting him, once he grows up, who on this continent can defeat him?

He'll be all over the place, won't he?

Pope Bibi Dong and Grand Elder Qian Daoliu, they all have to step aside!

What a pity, what a real pity!

"It's alright," Jing Tianming replied calmly and modestly. But what he was really thinking was: "I must find the immortal herb in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire on this trip!"

Following that, at Chrysanthemum Douluo's request, he tested the rebound effect of his second soul skill, Sun's Return, on the spot.

The result was quite good.

After the test was completed, adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, the three of them sat down again, and Kuku cut open a piece of Triceratops meat and enjoyed a delicious barbecue feast.

Only then, satisfied, did he get up and begin his return journey.

just.

In preparation for the upcoming trip to Sunset Forest, with the titled powerhouse Chrysanthemum Douluo present, Jing Tianming was not in a hurry to travel. Instead, he took the opportunity to constantly ask Chrysanthemum Douluo about the various soul beasts they had encountered along the way.

I'll use these soul beasts as practice.

Chrysanthemum Douluo generously shared his knowledge, imparting all his combat experience.

The master and apprentice walked leisurely through the forest, enjoying each other's company.

……

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were few.

"Shh..." The wind blew through the forest, and the surrounding branches and leaves rustled.

Under the moonlight, Jing Tianming closed his eyes and cultivated his soul power under the protection of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Elder Ji.

I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly I heard a strange noise.

"Elder Ji, you stay here and keep watch over Tianming. I'll go check on things," Elder Ju called out, then vanished from the spot.

Before long, he returned carrying someone under his arm.

Jing Tianming, who had already woken up, looked at her by the moonlight and saw that she was still a little girl with a single ponytail.

Old Ji glanced around, a look of doubt on his face. "This girl looks to be only about ten years old. How come she's here alone?"

"Being chased by a shadow leopard means she must have been separated from the group after the camp was attacked," Chrysanthemum Douluo said casually. "Since I've run into her, it's fate. Let her sleep here for the night, and we'll let her go when it's light."

To avoid revealing his identity, he stunned the person the moment he appeared. If left unchecked, he would surely die at the hands of the soul beast.

Elder Ji nodded. The Star Dou Great Forest was fraught with danger, and encountering soul beast attacks at night was perfectly normal. Humans hunted soul beasts to obtain soul rings, and soul beasts attacked humans to eat; it had always been this way.

Jing Tianming didn't reply, but just watched his teacher use his soul power to lift the other person and place them flat on the ground. He was slightly surprised. This was the size a ten-year-old should have.

Jing Tianming estimated that he was already 13 years old and couldn't help but sigh at how precocious the Soul Masters of this world were.

Even he himself, at only 12 years old, is already nearly 1.75 meters tall. In terms of physical fitness, Tyson would probably have to kneel down and sing "Conquer".

This is the function of a spirit ring. After absorption, it can greatly improve a spirit master's physical qualities and promote growth in a short period of time, just like being given hormones to accelerate maturity.

Lost in thought, I quickly shifted my gaze to her face. She was quite pretty, and because she was still young, her face still had a bit of baby fat, which made her quite cute.

Jing Tianming couldn't help but think of Hu Liena; her face had been a little chubby before she left. However, it had nothing to do with him anymore.

He withdrew his gaze and continued his cultivation.

We met by chance, and it has nothing to do with him; cultivating oneself is the right thing to do!

"Elder Ji, please treat this girl's wounds," Chrysanthemum Douluo said.

"Okay." Old Ji nodded, quickly took out tools from his soul tool, and began to treat the wounds on the other person's body caused by the bushes he passed while rushing to escape.

Most of the injuries are concentrated on the outer sides of the limbs, not hidden, and are not serious, so they are easy to treat.

And it wasn't long after the matter was resolved.

"Rustling..."

The sound came from the depths of the forest again.

"Could they be looking for this girl?"

The first thing that came to mind for Mr. Ji was that, judging from the voices, there seemed to be more than one person.

"Just watch." Chrysanthemum Douluo said calmly.

He then reached to his waist and quickly took out a cloak and a mask, putting them on.

Jing Tianming was in a bad mood because his cultivation had been interrupted again. He frowned slightly and looked at the source of the sound.

Before long, three figures darted out of the bushes; their outlines suggested two men and one woman.

All he could say was that the woman's pectoral muscles were too exaggerated and too conspicuous.

As they got closer and could see her face clearly by the moonlight, they realized that the woman looked quite similar to the one lying on the ground. However, she was much older, appearing to be around 16 or 7 years old.

The two men following behind were even more mature.

They all looked to be around 20 years old.

As Jing Tianming sized up the three, they were also sizing him up. With just a glance, the girl in front guessed that they had also come to obtain spirit rings.

She was helping her younger sister obtain her second spirit ring, and incidentally...

The three people in front of them were clearly there to help the only boy in the team obtain a spirit ring.

Her gaze moved and quickly settled on her younger sister lying on the ground. Seeing that her limbs were wrapped in bandages and her clothes were intact, her expression relaxed. She then politely bowed to the two obviously older men and said, "This humble woman, Zhu Yun, thanks you two seniors for saving my sister."

"It was nothing," Chrysanthemum Douluo said casually, waving his hand, unwilling to dwell on it further.

"Since you're here, take them away."

The woman who called herself Zhu Yun fell silent upon hearing this, as if she were pondering something.

Seeing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo raised an eyebrow, his voice growing colder, "What? Do you expect me to personally send you on your way?"

"You flatter me, senior," Zhu Yun quickly replied, his smile remaining, appearing quite approachable.

"However, I have a request that I may make!"

"Of course, the compensation will be substantial."

Upon hearing that there was a reward, Chrysanthemum Douluo became interested and curious, and couldn't help but glance at him.

"Oh? Tell me about it!"

Zhu Yun smiled radiantly, like a gentle spring breeze.

"If I'm not mistaken, you two seniors and this young man should be from the Heaven Dou Empire, right?"
