The Dragon Man and the Snake Woman exchanged solemn nods.
Lord Dragon Meng Shu spoke with emotion, "Just now, I thought like Yi Ran that Xiao Tian, only at the fifth level of Xiantian, could have achieved what he has. But now, I realize I was wrong!"
"Hahaha, don't look at me! I thought so too. I didn't expect Xiao Tian to surprise us all," the snake woman narrowed her eyes at Xiao Tian.
At that moment, Xiao Tian's sword intent surged explosively. Sharp sword energy burst from his sword, soaring into the sky.
Where the sword energy passed, fierce winds tore through the air, scattering dark clouds.
An invisible pressure radiated outward from Xiao Tian, felling surrounding trees.
"Here comes the sword!"
"The sword dances across the universe, returning to shock the world."
"I can run wild with my sword, and my will travels the world with unending rhythm."
Holding Sword Fifteen, Xiao Tian performed flowing sword moves while chanting poetry. His sword power strengthened rapidly, soon reaching its peak!
Boom!
Soul power pulses radiated omnidirectionally before gradually dissipating.
As the sword energy faded, Xiao Tian's breath steadied. His eyes shone deep calm, and a satisfied smile curved his lips.
His sword power had finally reached perfection, and his soul power broke through to level thirty-nine!
Next step: concentrate the Sword Heart.
Sword Fifteen sparkled, nourished by Xiao Tian's sword intent.
The domineering sword poems he recited might seem arrogant, but everyone present believed Xiao Tian had earned the right.
Ning Rongrong's eyes glistened as she watched him calmly. He was truly incredible.
Plus, he could recite such commanding sword poetry just like Grandpa Jian.
She believed Grandpa Jian would be fascinated by Xiao Tian.
"Brother, did you break through?" Xiao Wu ran to Xiao Tian eagerly once his sword intent subsided.
Xiao Tian touched her rabbit ears and nodded.
Tang San's heart skipped seeing this. Then he whispered to Xiao Tian, "Brother, I've already canceled the ring's hidden aura function as you taught me. Will Er Ming really be able to find me then?"
Xiao Wu was uncertain—it was the outskirts, after all. Da Ming and Er Ming mainly stayed in Xinghu. Could their senses be so sharp?
She glanced secretly at Lord Long, who seemed to be a powerful Soul Douluo. Her identity should still be safe.
Seeing Lord Long normal, she sighed.
Xiao Tian nodded faintly but said nothing.
Er Ming, impulsive as ever, would rush here once sensing Xiao Wu. Then she could explain the situation.
Don't ask how Xiao Wu can communicate like that—it's because Xiao Tian taught her.
"Hahaha, well done! You truly deserve to be my Shrek student!" Flanders clapped happily.
Lord Long looked at Flanders, silently warning him not to poach talents.
Oscar at last absorbed his third soul ring, leaping with joy and eyes sparkling.
"Oscar, what's your third soul skill? Tell us!" Zhao Wuji pulled Oscar closer.
Due to height difference, Oscar had to stoop—looking funny.
"Ahem, Mr. Zhao, how about I don't explain my third skill?" Oscar looked awkward.
His strange soul skills and moves baffled newbies like Meng Yiran.
Though thick-skinned, Oscar felt embarrassed. Meng Yiran was a beauty, after all—and this didn't help impressions.
Oscar looked bitter.
"Xiao Ao, don't be shy. Tell us—we won't laugh! If anyone does, I'll break their legs!" Dai Mubai assured him, suppressing a smile.
Ma Hongjun chimed in, "Yes, Xiao Ao, satisfy our curiosity. What does your third soul skill do?"
Yu Xiaogang coolly added, "Oscar, don't keep us guessing. Just say it."
He glanced at the Dragon Man and Snake Woman.
Usually, soul skill effects were known only to close associates, but after this trip, they'd likely part ways, so it didn't matter.
Yu Xiaogang hoped Oscar's third skill truly affected speed or flying.
Seeing the group's insistence, Oscar took a deep breath. "Boss Dai, don't laugh, okay? If you do, I expect you to take a beating!"
Dai Mubai grinned. "Yeah, hurry up!"
Oscar's thousand-year soul ring slowly lifted as he chanted a soul spell: "I have a mushroom sausage!"
Meng Yiran blinked in confusion.
Silence paused the scene.
Then laughter burst out!
Dai Mubai wiped raindrop tears from his eyes, chuckling, "Xiao, Xiao Ao! I didn't mean to make fun, but your soul skill sure remains as odd as before!"
Laughter spread around from Ma Hongjun to Zhao Wuji.
The three girls had foreseen this, but a complex mix of disgust, amusement, and curiosity rippled through them.
"Boss Dai, you're lying!" Oscar fumed, lunging to grab Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai feigned appreciation as the two circled Flanders.
"Okay, now tell us the real effect of your third soul skill!"
Flanders grabbed Oscar by the collar, stopping him.
Oscar sniffed twice and proudly declared, "Don't judge my soul skill by appearance—it's actually very powerful!"
Yu Xiaogang guessed aloud, "Seeing your confidence, your third soul skill must be related to flying, right?"
Yu Xiaogang's guess was blunt and unvarnished.
