Chapter 119: Terrifying Emerald Demon Bird
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
But the Emerald Demon Bird before him was never said to have been related to dragons, nor was it a soul beast with a dragon bloodline. Could it be that there was something wrong with the summoning?
Of course, the Emerald Demon Bird wasn’t weak. On the contrary, with Lan Xuanyu’s knowledge of soul beasts, he was very certain that this Emerald Demon Bird was the strongest out of all the soul beasts they had summoned before.
It was known as a vicious bird in the world of soul beasts—extremely ferocious, it especially enjoyed attacking other soul beasts and eating their brains. Not only was it fast, but its attacks were also very strong and would target the head of other living creatures.
At this moment, Jin Xiang had a hole in his forehead as he turned into rays of light and fell from the sky. He had clearly been pierced through the head by it, and the Flaming Double Wing didn’t even manage to come into contact with this bird.
It was actually an Emerald Demon Bird!
The Emerald Demon Bird was basically the nemesis of almost every flying-type soul beast, as its explosive speed and attacks were too terrifying!
However, for long-distance flights, the Emerald Demon Bird could not be compared to the Green Roc. But for short distances, almost no flying-type soul beast could compare to it.
Hence, in the next moment, he was right in front of Li Pengbin.
He couldn’t even block the Flaming Bird, let alone the Emerald Demon Bird. Just as Lan Xuanyu was astonished, Li Pengbin came falling from the sky too.
The rays of light flashed again. Tang Yuege only had time to pull out his handgun but his fell from the sky and turned into rays of light too.
Since the first appearance of the Emerald Demon Bird, it had killed three people and the entire process took no more than two breaths. From the body and color of this Emerald Demon Bird, Lan Xuanyu could roughly tell that it should be a 100-year soul beast.
The same 100-year soul beast with a different bloodline would make a world of a difference in strength. Even if the six of them were to work together, it wouldn’t be enough to fight this Emerald Demon Bird.
After killing Tang Yuege, the Emerald Demon Bird turned around and looked at Lan Xuanyu’s team with an ominous glint in its eyes.
Qian Lei ended the summoning without hesitation, and the second he ended it, the Emerald Demon Bird already flew, about to pounce and attack. This chap was simply too ferocious that it even wanted to attack the summoner.
Rays of light flashed and the Gate of Summoning disappeared along with the Emerald Demon Bird. Lan Xuanyu’s team may have won, but they were drenched in cold sweat.
“Why is it still so unreliable? Can’t you control it?” Liu Feng said in exasperation to Qian Lei.
Qian Lei smiled bitterly. “I want to be able to control it too! But I really couldn’t just then. It was too fierce. The moment my thought went over, it was as if it had ignited. Luckily, it still attacked the opponent I indicated was the enemy in my message first. Good chap, really amazing.”
Two battles, two wins and they were all thanks to Qian Lei’s summoned creatures.
Who dared to say that Qian Lei was lousy now? Unreliable? With Lan Xuanyu around, his summoning had simply surpassed that of people their age and cultivation.
Lu Qianxun’s team wouldn’t have had a different ending had they been the ones that were faced with the Emerald Demon Bird. Only a Soul Master of four rings and above would have a chance at controlling the 100-year Emerald Demon Bird. Relatively speaking, Chang Jianyi’s Slow Down Soul Skill might have some effect, but his cultivation was simply too weak now and he was not able to control it either.
“We just have to win another three matches.” As the new opponent had appeared too quickly, Qian Lei didn’t get to rest at all, and the moment his Soul Power recovered to its fullest potential, he immediately tossed out his coin of summoning and summoned once again.
At this moment, the teachers were watching from the outside, including Yin Tianfan and Ji Hongbin. The finals were the most important test to assess the students this semester. Moreover, it was held in the arena today.
When the teachers handed the report on the method of assessment to Yin Tianfan, he agreed without hesitation. He also wanted to see how much his disciple had improved during this period of learning.
“Is this considered the Martial Soul Fusion technique?” Yin Tianfan asked Ji Hongbin, who was next to him.
Anybody could tell that with Lan Xuanyu’s help, Qian Lei’s summoning became more reliable and could always summon a strong creature each time, getting rid of their opponents easily.
Ji Hongbin furrowed his brows. “It’s hard to say, but it shouldn’t be at the level of Martial Soul Fusion yet. They are all still on the first ring and even if they had the Martial Soul Fusion technique, they wouldn’t be able to use it. Did you notice that Lan Xuanyu hasn’t just been enhancing Qian Lei but Liu Feng too? When Liu Feng was leaning his back on him, his White Dragon Spear Martial Soul developed an ice properties enhancement, allowing him to get rid of the opponent easily. From a certain perspective, Lan Xuanyu was assisting—a very strong assist.
“Most importantly, his assisting targets were two completely unrelated Martial Souls. Does that mean that his Martial Soul could enhance any Martial Soul? If that’s the case, then it’s extraordinary. Further, Lan Xuanyu isn’t a pure assist-type Soul Master either; when he was in the previous academy, he belonged to the control-type. He’s strong in battling too and is a Twin Martial Soul...”
With that said, Ji Hongbin looked astounded—it seems like Lan Xuanyu was truly blessed by the heavens!
The only problem was that the increase of his Soul Power was too slow. While other students were already at rank 18, he had just reached rank 16. The slower a person’s Soul Power cultivation was, the wider the gap might become in the future, and this was definitely worrying.
Yin Tianfan nodded slightly. “This disciple of mine is pretty interesting. His Spiritual Power is already 200 points—I did not expect this. Not bad, not bad.”
Ji Hongbin said, “Don’t get ahead of yourself. It might be that this child’s Martial Soul is too strong or unique, which is causing his Soul Power to increase at a slow pace. We still have to continue to monitor; otherwise, no matter how gifted, he won’t be able to become an elite without the support of Soul Power.”
“Does it matter?” Yin Tianfan shrugged and said. “My expectations for him aren’t on the combat aspect, but carrying on my legacy! No matter how strong a person is, can he be compared to a space fleet?”
Ji Hongbin looked at him with deep meaning in his eyes. “Go over there and say this, see if anyone would refute you.” As he spoke, he pointed upwards.
Yin Tianfan was speechless. “I meant under normal conditions. Xuanyu’s Spiritual Power increased so quickly, I think he might be able to reach the Spirit Sea realm when he turns 12, possibly being qualified to become a qualified captain. According to this speed of development, he could become the commander of a fleet by the time he turns 30. If he could pass the entrance exams, this timeline would be much shorter. Most importantly, this child has great psychological quality and resistance to pressure—I am very satisfied with him in these aspects. He displayed exceptional talents at such a young age.”
Ji Hongbin glanced at him in askance and a rare smile appeared on his face. “Fatty, what about that matter we discussed before?”
Yin Tianfan smiled but his expression seemed extremely friendly. “Old Ji! If you’re thinking of snatching the child for yourself, there’s nothing more to be said.”
“You’re really a sly old fox,” Ji Hongbin said in exasperation. “It’ll be a waste of his talent if he follows you. Can’t you tell how unique his Martial Soul is? He is truly capable of becoming an elite, even the leader of an elite squad. Is this something you can give him?”
Yin Tianfan laughed heartily. “Whatever, he’s my disciple now and calls me his master. Why didn’t you act sooner? Why didn’t you take him in earlier?”
“I...” Ji Hongbin realized that he was not this fatty’s opponent when it came to bickering. He was previously the demon fox of the generation, eh!
