The slender Serpent Cane in Chao Tianxiang's hands moved like a storm, the tongue blades flashing with a chilling light, stabbing towards Xiao Yan like raindrops.
Xiao Yan took a quick look. There were about twenty of these points of light, three times more than Meng Yiran's.
"Tongue Blade!"
Xiao Yan shouted, and the Serpent Cane in his hand also swung, meeting Chao Tianxiang's Soul Skill with an even more intense barrage.
"What!"
Both Chao Tianxiang and Meng Yiran were stunned.
Copying the Martial Soul was one thing, but he was even copying the Soul Skill!
Especially Chao Tianxiang, who was in the midst of battle, could feel how monstrous Xiao Yan was.
Just watching her demonstrate it once, the Serpent Cane in his hand was able to transform into thirty phantoms.
Thirty phantoms, both real and illusory, carried an unmatched force.
He used it even better than her, a Soul Emperor who had been immersed in the Serpent Cane for many years.
In an instant, the roles of offense and defense were instantly switched.
Initially, Chao Tianxiang could barely hold her own, but as Xiao Yan's Serpent Cane became increasingly impenetrable, she failed to defend herself and was instantly pushed back several steps.
Glancing at Xiao Yan, Chao Tianxiang gradually retracted her Soul Ring and said, "Little fellow, this Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent is yours. Yiran, let's go."
"Grandma..." Meng Yiran said, somewhat unwillingly.
Xiao Yan was also a little surprised. For a Soul Master on the verge of a breakthrough, this Soul Beast was extremely important, yet she gave up after just using one Second Soul Skill.
Chao Tianxiang was somewhat intimidated by Xiao Yan's talent.
Just by watching once, he could replicate others' Soul Skills. She really didn't want Xiao Yan to steal all of her Soul Skills.
"Wait a moment." Seeing the grandfather and granddaughter turn to leave, Xiao Yan called out to them.
Chao Tianxiang, her old eyebrows furrowed, stopped and turned around, saying, "What else is it?"
"You forgot to take your Great Recovery Pill." Xiao Yan waved his left arm and threw the porcelain bottle in his hand to Chao Tianxiang.
Chao Tianxiang caught the jade bottle that was thrown over with a little embarrassment.
After a brief exchange, she understood to some extent why those Soul Saints were so afraid of a young man.
Replicating Martial Souls, replicating Soul Skills, and the power of the Soul Skills was even better than the original Soul Masters who used them.
Who can resist this?
Looking at the jade bottle in his hand, although he had lost a thousand-year-old Soul Beast, it seemed he had still made a profit compared to the two life-saving pills inside.
Xiao Yan said, "Miss Meng Yiran's Martial Soul is the Serpent Cane. Absorbing Soul Rings from snake-type Soul Beasts is certainly not bad, but this Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent isn't quite the right fit."
"Hmm?"
If an ordinary person had said this, the two of them, the grandmother and granddaughter, would have immediately refuted.
Who are you, anyway? Do you understand the Serpent Cane Martial Soul?
But having witnessed Xiao Yan's strength, they turned to look at him.
Xiao Yan explained, "The Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent only has some advantages in speed, but its attack power is actually quite average among Soul Beasts, and it doesn't possess any toxins. During the fight earlier, your Serpent Cane Martial Souls were both carrying a potent poison, right?
An offensive Soul Beast that also carries a potent poison, would be a better match for you."
"That makes some sense." Chao Tianxiang nodded, thanked him, and then left with her granddaughter.
Watching their backs, Xiao Yan raised a hand and touched his nose: "This Soul Emperor isn't that useful. She ran away after just one move."
On the road, Meng Yiran couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, you're a Soul Emperor, and that kid only has two Soul Rings. Why didn't you keep fighting?"
Chao Tianxiang's expression was heavy. "That kid's power is very strong. He's very likely hiding his strength. His goal is to steal our Soul Skills. If we continue fighting, it will only benefit him."
She had lived for so many years, and this was the first time she had ever seen a Soul Master steal Soul Skills.
"How did he do it?" Meng Yiran pursed her jade lips and asked.
They had only met him for the first time, and even counting her grandmother using her Soul Skills, it had only been twice.
Could he have learned them after seeing them twice?
That was too monstrous!
Chao Tianxiang cautioned her granddaughter, "The world of Soul Masters is full of talented individuals. Perhaps this Xiao Yan is the most talented of them all. You must work even harder in your cultivation from now on."
"I understand, Grandma," Meng Yiran said, her face a little downcast.
She usually trained quite diligently, but compared to Xiao Yan, she seemed to fall short.
"Come over here, everyone," Xiao Yan said, turning and beckoning to Xiao Xue and the others.
"Xiao Yan-gege, you took so long! He was just a Soul Emperor," Xiao Xue bounced over to Xiao Yan, complaining.
Xiao Yan shrugged. "I couldn't just kill them, could I?"
At that moment, the Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent lying nearby suddenly regained consciousness.
The thick snake body writhed rapidly, fleeing forward.
Logically, after taking a kick from Xiao Yan, it should have been out cold for at least half a day. However, it had just been forced to swallow a Great Recovery Pill. Fueled by the medicine, its body recovered much faster.
"It's awake again? You all move aside."
Xiao Yan gestured for Xiao Xue and the others to move to the side. He grabbed the Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent's body and violently swung it, as if using it as a whip, lashing it against the ground.
The Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent felt like the world was spinning, its large head slamming heavily against the ground again.
With a boom, a deep pit was created in the ground.
The Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent was completely stunned.
Why did it wake up?
This wasn't over. Xiao Yan suddenly exerted force with his arm, swinging the Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent another 180 degrees, and with a bang, it slammed back down.
After repeating this process dozens of times, Xiao Yan finally stopped.
He felt like he was about to kill the Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent.
Ning Rongrong nudged Xiao Xue beside her and whispered, "Is Xiao Yan always this violent?"
"No," Xiao Xue shook her head. "Xiao Yan is usually very gentle."
Xiao Yan tossed the Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent to Zhu Zhuqing's feet, then leaped over and offered her a longsword, smiling. "Zhuqing, give this Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent its final blow."
Without hesitation, Zhu Zhuqing took the sword and plunged it into the Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent's head.
Watching the life ebb away from the Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb Serpent, Xiao Yan said, "I don't really know much about the age of this Soul Beast, but we can use the energy pressure released after the Soul Ring appears to judge."
"With your current physical condition, absorbing a Soul Ring of around two thousand years shouldn't be a problem. If the age is too low, we might need to keep searching."
The types of Soul Beasts were truly too complex, and the cultivation year limit wasn't something displayed on their heads.
Therefore, to accurately determine the specific cultivation year limit of a Soul Beast, besides killing it and then assessing, Xiao Yan didn't have a better method.
