Chapter 5: Enemy Attack.
Wang Sheng snapped back to reality, seeing a sharp claw, gleaming with a cold light, appear before his eyes.
"Hmm?"
Wang Sheng's brow furrowed, but just as he was about to strike back, a figure blocked his path.
"Spirit Cat Possession!"
"Bang!" The attack was blocked.
"Uncle Hai?"
Seeing Wang Sheng blocking the attack, he felt a surge of surprise, thinking to himself, "Could it be that this person wasn't sent by Ji Changying? Otherwise, why would he save me?"
At this moment, Elder Xiong, who was walking at the end, approached and sternly admonished, "Sheng'er, remember this: in the Xingluo Forest, you must always remain vigilant. Otherwise, you'll be slain before you even see the soul beast." He then glanced at Uncle Hai and offered a rare compliment, "Little Hai, your reaction just now was good!"
"Thank you, Elder Xiong, for your guidance. Thank you, Uncle Hai, for saving me!" Wang Sheng was no fool. He knew Elder Xiong was acting in his best interest, so he naturally didn't object. Elder
Xiong was very pleased with Wang Sheng's attitude and nodded.
The three of them simultaneously focused their attention on the spirit beast in front of them.
"Ghost Cat? It's a perfect match for Xiao Hai, but it's a shame it's only eight or nine hundred years old. A thousand-year-old would be even more suitable," Elder Xiong said with a hint of regret.
"Let's just have this one!" Uncle Hai, somewhat unexpectedly, looked at the ghost cat with a look of satisfaction.
"Hmm? Think carefully, Xiao Hai. Since we're here, I'm definitely going to find you a thousand-year-old spirit beast and a thousand-year spirit ring."
"While a thousand-year spirit ring is great, it might not be as good as this ghost cat! And this one is already very close to a thousand-year-old."
He left one more thing unsaid: the protagonist this time was Wang Sheng. While Elder Xiong would find him a thousand-year-old, he definitely wouldn't bother finding him a cat-type spirit beast.
If he got a less-than-suitable thousand-year-old spirit ring, it would be worse than this hundred-year-old spirit ring! After all, his martial soul was the spirit cat. After absorbing the ghost cat's spirit ring, it would be a perfect match. The spirit skills he would unleash would definitely surpass those of a typical hundred-year-old spirit beast.
The most crucial thing is that he is already over thirty years old and has only just obtained this third spirit ring. It can be said that he will not achieve much in his life, so he is not too obsessed with the thousand-year spirit ring.
"That's right!" As expected, Elder Xiong, seeing that Uncle Hai had made the decision, nodded immediately.
If it were Wang Sheng, he would definitely be scolded to death if he said that the first spirit ring only needed a ten-year one.
Elder Xiong flashed to the side of the ghost cat and punched it directly.
"Bang!"
Elder Xiong is an 8-ringed Soul Douluo. Although he has not even released his martial spirit, it is not something that a ghost cat that is less than a thousand years old can withstand.
Before the ghost cat could react, it was directly blown away and slammed into a giant tree, losing its combat effectiveness.
Seeing this, Wang Sheng's eyes lit up, and he was secretly amazed. "What a powerful force!"
"Hahaha, our Explosive Bear Clan's greatest strength is our power! However, your mutant martial spirit is even stronger. I think once you reach my level, your power will be even greater." Elder Bear, seeing Wang Sheng's astonishment, couldn't help but feel proud, while also offering encouragement.
Uncle Hai didn't hesitate, rushing over and delivering the final blow to Ghost Cat.
He then sat down and mobilized his soul power to draw the century-old spirit ring from Ghost Cat's body to him, beginning to absorb it.
With a swish, a flash of cold light shot towards Wang Sheng.
"Not good!"
Wang Sheng noticed it, but the cold light was too fast. With his current body, he couldn't dodge it. He could only watch helplessly as the cold light continued to approach him.
"It seems this person was sent by Ji Changying. I really misunderstood Uncle Hai before."
"How dare you!"
Elder Xiong, standing beside Wang Sheng, erupted in fury. Wang Sheng was the greatest genius of their Explosive Bear Clan for thousands of years, and he wouldn't tolerate even the slightest mishap. Furthermore, his wife had placed such a huge trust in him by entrusting him with his life.
How could he possibly betray her?
However, he never imagined that this person was sent by the very wife who "trusted" him.
Elder Xiong's eight spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and four black—instantly rose. Simultaneously, he extended his hand, a massive bear paw, and struck the cold light.
"Bang!"
The cold light was swatted away, piercing the trunk of a nearby tree.
Only then did Wang Sheng see clearly that the cold light was actually a longsword. The sword then instantly vanished into thin air, disappearing without a trace.
Clearly, the sword belonged to someone else, and had now been reclaimed.
"Who are you? Come out!"
"Come out, come out! Why are you afraid?"
A sinister masked figure emerged from the darkness of the forest and stood before Elder Xiong.
"Masked? Why masked? Could it be someone I know? Or someone I've met and is afraid I'll recognize them? And their target is clear: Wang Sheng, the family's new, invincible genius. Could it be that someone in the clan has leaked the news?"
Elder Xiong, with his vast experience, immediately had some theories.
"Are you from the Eagle Clan?"
But after much reflection, Elder Bear was certain the newcomer would be the Explosive Bear Clan's mortal enemy. After all, a genius like Wang Sheng had emerged from the clan, and the Eagle Clan would undoubtedly be the first to attack.
After all, if such a genius emerged from the Eagle Clan, the Explosive Bear Clan would do everything in its power to eliminate him.
But Wang Sheng saw it differently.
This person was definitely not from the Eagle Clan. The two clans were sworn enemies. How could they possibly have the nerve to kill a Explosive Bear Clan prodigy like him?
Given the past behavior of both clans, if they truly did kill him, even if the Explosive Bear Clan didn't know it was them, they would have jumped out to show off. After all, such things had happened before.
"So what if it was? So what if it wasn't? We're not afraid of you, the Explosive Bear Clan!"
However, Elder Bear's ambiguous words immediately convinced him, and he flew into a rage: "If so, then die! Explosive Bear Fury Hammer!"
Elder Bear's sixth spirit ring flashed.
A sixth spirit ring skill right from the start – a truly lethal attack!
In fact, Elder Xiong was helpless too! Because Uncle Hai was still absorbing the soul ring! Although, he was just an ordinary tribesman with average talent, but tribesmen were tribesmen, he couldn't just ignore it!
So, he could only suppress the opponent with a strong attack, so that the opponent had no time to care about Uncle Hai. Of course, the most important thing was Wang Sheng, the genius.
In such a battle, Wang Sheng had no right to intervene at all, he could only watch.
"Bang!"
The opponent also launched an attack, but it was obviously no match for Elder Xiong, and was directly knocked away.
Elder Xiong obviously felt that the farther the battle was from Wang Sheng and the others, the better, after all, they were fighting at this level.
Even if they were affected a little, Wang Sheng and the others would be either dead or injured, so they immediately exerted force with their legs, jumped up, and quickly chased after them.
