Chapter 71 Could it be the power of the Tang God King?
Having obtained Electrolux, and now that he had been discovered, Kong Xuan no longer concealed himself, but instead controlled his flying soul tool to slowly descend to the ground.
Kong Deming stood beside Kong Xuan, looking at the "giant worm" in front of him with great interest, and said, "This is the first time I've ever seen a million-year-old soul beast."
Upon hearing Kong Deming, whom he was wary of, instantly reveal his cultivation level, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was also taken aback.
At this moment, he had not yet successfully merged with Huo Yuhao. If these two were after him, he, who had just escaped from the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, might face an even more tragic fate.
Just as Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was pondering how to break the deadlock, Kong Xuan spoke up: "Tianmeng, we mean no harm."
When Kong Xuan called out his name, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was extremely shocked. There were very few soul beasts who knew his name, let alone humans.
Kong Xuan actually saw a human-like change in expression on Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's face and guessed the fear and struggle in his heart.
He then added, "You can merge with Huo Yuhao first and become his spirit ring; we won't interfere."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's small eyes flickered. Now that the fusion was halfway complete, he really had no other choice.
Now, all I can do is trust that they won't attack me.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm did not respond, but it began to act, continuing to inject its soul power into Huo Yuhao's body.
As time went by, Huo Yuhao began to emit a bright white light, and the wounds he had sustained in the battle with the wind baboons were healing rapidly at a visible speed.
Meanwhile, the enormous body of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which was over seven meters long, gradually shrank.
Finally, the figure of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm completely merged with Huo Yuhao and disappeared before the eyes of Kong Deming and Kong Xuan.
Only a layer of pale gold white membrane remained in place; this was the remains of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
This white film looks quite large, but it's only a thin layer.
Under the control of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, it condensed into a small ball and then burrowed into Huo Yuhao's arms.
The remains of a million-year-old soul beast—that's a treasure! The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm still has a great use for it.
Although Kong Deming and Kong Xuan did not actually harm him, he had witnessed the wickedness of the world over the years and dared not easily trust others.
At that moment, a bright white soul ring flashed and disappeared around Huo Yuhao, but Kong Deming still managed to catch it.
Kong Deming's eyes gleamed with a spirit of inquiry: "A million-year spirit ring is simply unprecedented. Its color is as white as jade, and it is extremely similar to a ten-year spirit ring."
"Although the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm doesn't have much offensive power, as a million-year-old soul beast, it has also developed some things over the years."
"He sealed his original power into Huo Yuhao's body, and the age of the first spirit ring also increased as Huo Yuhao's physical fitness improved."
"So his first spirit ring is indeed less than a hundred years old. If it reaches a million years later, it should turn platinum gold."
Although Kong Xuan was only a twelve-year-old boy, Kong Deming believed his words wholeheartedly.
Because in his eyes, these words were not something Kong Xuan had summarized or explored on his own, but rather knowledge inherited from the gods, so naturally they would not be wrong.
"Someone's coming!" Kong Deming sensed someone approaching: "It's those two from before."
Two figures were rushing towards them at an extremely fast speed. After passing through a grove of trees, the two stopped abruptly.
There were signs of a battle in front of them, and the corpse of a wind baboon had obviously just died.
Huo Yuhao sat leaning against the tree root, head down and eyes closed, looking as if he had fainted.
On this side, two figures, one old and one young, stood, and judging from their clothes and demeanor, they were not ordinary people.
"Who are you people? What did you do to Xiaoyuhao?"
Tang Ya exclaimed in surprise and questioned Kong Deming and Kong Xuan.
Clearly, they are assuming that Huo Yuhao's current situation is their doing.
Beibei's expression changed, and she stepped forward to shield Tang Ya behind her.
His gaze first swept over Kong Xuan, then he looked at Kong Deming and bowed respectfully, saying, "Senior, please don't take offense. Xiaoya is just being straightforward and worried about her friend's safety. She didn't mean to offend you."
Compared to the impulsive Tang Ya, Bei Bei was clearly much more composed.
Although the other party did not reveal his cultivation level, he could sense the composure of a strong person from Kong Deming.
He had only ever experienced this feeling with the elders of the Sea God Pavilion.
If my guess is correct, the other party should be a powerful expert at the Title Douluo level.
Such a powerful figure would naturally not attack Huo Yuhao, a mere youth, so casually.
Tang Ya wasn't stupid either. Seeing Bei Bei's attitude, she understood that the other party was a powerful figure they couldn't afford to offend, so she bit her lip and shut up.
Kong Deming looked at Bei Bei and smiled, "You're quite polite, young man."
Seeing that Kong Deming's tone was gentle and he didn't seem angry, Beibei's anxiety subsided.
Beibei then asked, "Senior, do you know what's wrong with our little one?"
This time, Kong Deming did not answer, but looked at Kong Xuan. His beloved grandson Kong Xuan was the "mastermind" behind all of this.
Kong Xuan immediately stepped forward: "I was injured in the battle with this wind baboon and fainted just after absorbing the soul ring."
They had already seen the scene here, and Beibei and Tangya had no doubts about this answer.
However, Beibei then asked, "Then may I ask why you and this young man are waiting here...?"
Kong Xuan immediately laughed and said, "My grandfather has taken a liking to this lad and wants to take him as his disciple."
Kong Deming was also moved upon hearing this. To be honest, Huo Yuhao, who only had one level of innate soul power, was someone he looked down upon.
Although Huo Yuhao is only eleven years old and has just obtained his first spirit ring, his first spirit ring in a million years is unprecedented and may never be repeated.
He thought it was a good idea to take such a person as a disciple.
Kong Xuan's reason was indeed impeccable.
At this moment, Tang Ya, who was behind Bei Bei, tugged at Bei Bei's sleeve and whispered in her ear, "I also want to invite Brother Yu Hao to join our Tang Clan."
Beibei pulled Tang Ya aside and whispered, "Do you really want to take Xiao Yuhao into the Tang Clan?"
Tang Ya nodded solemnly. Although Huo Yuhao didn't seem to have much talent, she inexplicably felt that taking Huo Yuhao into the Tang Sect was a very important thing, which was why she insisted on it.
Beibei's eyes lit up, and she already had an idea. She said, "Doesn't the Tang Sect have a recommendation quota for Shrek Academy? We can give this quota to Xiaoyuhao. The opportunity to join Shrek Academy is right in front of us. I believe Xiaoyuhao will choose us."
Tang Ya's eyes lit up when she heard this, thinking it was indeed a good idea.
She said confidently, "Then let's wait for Xiaoyuhao to wake up and see what he chooses then."
Although the two spoke softly, every word reached Kong Xuan's ears.
When he broke through level 40, he also fused with "Hearing Wrath" from the Six Roots.
When the "Eye-Seeing Joy" technique was incorporated, Kong Xuan's eyesight was enhanced.
After incorporating "Hearing Anger," Kong Xuan's hearing became extremely terrifying.
Now, no matter what happens around them, it will not escape Kong Xuan's eyes and ears.
Therefore, Kong Xuan heard the entire conversation between Tang Ya and Bei Bei.
Upon hearing Tang Ya's insistence on taking Huo Yuhao into the Tang Sect, Kong Xuan frowned.
He wondered if this was the "great power" of the God King Tang at work; otherwise, how could someone with Huo Yuhao's talent be valued so highly?
