"Ooh!"
A sharp elbow strike landed, and the Gale Wolf howled in agony.
Under the immense force, it was instantly sent flying, falling onto the grass beside it and falling asleep forever, slowly transforming into a ball of pure energy.
"Sha!"
A soft sound rang out, and the fallen leaves in front of Na'er continued to fall, fluttering to the ground.
Na'er, however, seemed to be frozen in place, as if under a spell.
"I don't understand!"
"I can't do anything..."
After a moment, Na'er's fair face wrinkled, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief as she looked at the dead Gale Wolf and whispered.
Na'er was utterly defeated, like a greenhorn in front of Jiang Xiu.
"Na'er, what are you babbling about? Quickly call me boss."
After absorbing the Gale Wolf's energy, Jiang Xiu's soul rings were nearly a thousand years old.
Looking at Na'er beside him, Jiang Xiu waved his hand lightly in front of Na'er's eyes.
"A bet's a bet, from now on you're my boss."
Na'er gritted her teeth, looking at Jiang Xiu with a smile on his lips, and made up her mind.
"Hmm, not bad, follow me from now on."
Jiang Xiu nodded slightly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and said with a smile.
He had deliberately controlled the number of kills from the beginning, all for this final blow.
Although Na'er's intelligence was amazing, he was still slightly superior.
However, Jiang Xiu had now confirmed that Na'er had indeed inherited a part of the Silver Dragon King's humanity, while Gu Yue, whose whereabouts were unknown, was more inclined towards the spirit beast.
"If Gu Yue finds out that I lost to a human child, won't I be laughed at?"
Na'er sighed inwardly, feeling quite ashamed, but she could only accept reality.
"No, if I become Jiang Xiu's boss, Jiang Xiu will definitely help me in the future, and if Jiang Xiu becomes my boss, he will definitely help me in the future.
It seems like I'm not at a loss."
Suddenly, Na'er thought of something and comforted herself.
Now she could only gamble on Jiang Xiu's character.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
Just then, a giant spider suddenly sprang from the ground.
This creature was extremely peculiar, its entire body dark purple, with a hideous ghost face on its abdomen.
It was none other than the Human-Faced Demon Spider, known as the nightmare of small soul beasts.
It seemed to have been lying in wait for a long time, and now it roared as it charged towards Na'er, who was right in front of it.
"Whoosh!"
"Pfft!"
The Human-Faced Demon Spider trembled instantly when Na'er glared at it with her beautiful eyes, feeling immense pressure.
Then, the Silver Dragon Spear flew out and pierced the Human-Faced Demon Spider's body.
A legendary terminator had fallen.
"Hmph! I can't beat Jiang Xiu, so beating you is just a piece of cake, isn't it?"
Na'er snorted and instantly refined the Human-Faced Demon Spider's energy.
"Human-Faced Demon Spider, Human-Faced Demon Spider, why did you provoke her?"
Jiang Xiu saw this scene and couldn't help but mourn for the Human-Faced Demon Spider for three seconds.
The Human-Faced Demon Spider was considered a high-quality soul beast 20,000 years ago, but in the era of Dragon King Legend, where bloodlines mattered, it was just a roadside monster.
It was perfectly normal for Na'er to finish him off like a foot soldier.
After Na'er absorbed the energy of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, her hundred-year soul ring trembled slightly, then a faint purple hue spread out, successfully transforming into a thousand-year soul ring.
"Na'er, let's go, let's continue hunting soul beasts."
Seeing Na'er's transformation, Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered, and he prepared to continue deeper into the dense forest.
Now his spiritual power had reached 210 points, which was enough to upgrade his first soul ring to a two-thousand-year age limit.
The Gale Demon Wolf pack he had just encountered were mostly ten-year soul beasts, and although they didn't provide him with much energy, they still brought his first soul ring to a nine-hundred-and-ninety-year age limit.
"Understood, boss!"
Na'er's spirits lifted, and she continued to follow behind Jiang Xiu.
After her own Na'er mental victory method, she felt it was okay to acknowledge Jiang Xiu as her boss.
However, looking at the Shadow King who was following Jiang Xiu again, and then at the Silver Dragon Spear in her hand, Na'er suddenly realized that the Silver Dragon Spear was still too demanding to use, unlike Jiang Xiu's Shadow King, which was simple and powerful.
"By the way, boss, what's your opinion on soul beasts?"
Na'er asked tentatively. She couldn't forget her mission; after all, the fate of the countless races of soul beasts rested on her shoulders.
"The soul beast race has declined.
As far as I know, only the Star Dou Great Forest and the depths of the ocean still have soul beasts living there,"
Jiang Xiu said softly, his eyes flickering slightly, a hint of melancholy in his voice.
The Spirit Pagoda's intentions were good; it did initially reduce conflict between soul beasts and humans.
However, the greed in people's hearts is boundless.
The Spirit Pagoda, like a dull knife chopping meat, silently eroded the strength of the soul beast race.
Meanwhile, human soul guidance technology and powerful individuals emerged one after another, making the decline of the soul beast race seem inevitable.
"What about the future?"
Na'er asked hopefully.
"The future... if we can find another suitable place to live, perhaps we can revive it,"
Jiang Xiu said thoughtfully.
"I don't understand why everyone is discussing the decline of soul beasts, as if the Douluo Continent is destined to be fraught with danger for our soul beast race."
Na'er pouted, indignantly.
"Of course, I've heard that in the distant past, the Dragon God of the Dragon Clan split into the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King.
The Silver Dragon King inherited the wisdom of the Dragon God and is now missing.
Perhaps when he returns, he can lead the soul beast race to regain its glory."
Seeing Na'er's furrowed brow, Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed, and he smiled as he comforted her.
"Really?"
"Really! I swear on my positions as the God of Asura and the God of the Sea, if the soul beasts cannot be revived, may those two positions collapse."
Jiang Xiu looked at the joy in Na'er's eyes and said solemnly.
"No need to swear. You're actually quite good."
Na'er snorted lightly, her steps becoming even lighter.
"Who am I? I'm your boss."
"Roger, boss!"
Na'er followed beside Jiang Xiu, continuing towards the forest.
"I never imagined that Xiao Xiu's first soul ring would be such a precious time attribute."
Inside the circular metal room, Leng Yaozhu looked at Jiang Xiu, who had successfully made the bet, her phoenix eyes filled with astonishment.
"Hahaha, lucky, lucky."
Mu Ye looked at Leng Yaozhu, who was just as shocked as he had been, and laughed, saying modestly.
"At this rate, it feels like Na'er is going to be a free kill."
Leng Yaozhu shook her head slightly, looking at the two walking side by side on the screen, thinking to herself, and this feeling grew stronger in her heart.
"Lord Leng, after this Spirit Ascension, I plan to establish the headquarters of the Body Sect on the street you gave me.
I think Na'er and Xiao Xiu are the same age, which will make it convenient for them to communicate and spar."
Unlike Leng Yaozhu, Mu Ye looked at the two on the screen and smiled slightly before speaking.
But before that, he had to bring his eldest disciple, Jiang Xiu's senior brother, over.
"Hesitate."
Leng Yaozhu sighed inwardly upon hearing this. Of course, she could see through Mu Ye's little scheme, and she couldn't take back what she had said. Since
things had come to this, she would leave it at that.
...
Meanwhile, in the distant Star Dou Great Forest.
Before the Lake of Life.
Several extraordinary figures stood there.
The one in the lead was tall, with black hair and golden eyes, faintly exuding a powerful aura.
But at this moment, everyone looked respectfully at a young girl in the sky above the lake.
The girl slowly opened her eyes and turned around.
