Chapter 620 A Different Requirement.
"So you just passed the test like that."
Mu Lin and Xuan Mo sat by the fire, drinking wine.
Beside them lay a skeleton resembling a small hill.
On the skeleton were visible fragments of flesh and some teeth marks.
This soul beast was a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast hunted by the Space Dragon King from the forbidden plains outside Dragon Valley.
The reason was to replenish Xuan Mo's energy.
After all, since passing the Wind Dragon King's test, Xuan Mo's body and blood had suffered severe depletion; ordinary energy had little effect on his weakened state. Therefore, he could only replenish it through flesh and blood food containing immense energy.
At the same time as passing the test, the Wind Dragon King also sealed her remaining divine power in her left leg bone and gave it to Xuan Mo.
Her lingering will also resided in Xuan Mo's sea of consciousness.
Thus, this scene unfolded.
"Hmm..."
Xuan Mo clearly didn't take Mu Lin's words to heart. Because at that moment, he was sucking on a bone four or five times larger than himself. Only after the bone was almost devoid of meat did he toss it to the envious Little Black nearby.
Little Black, however, seemed to have "grown up ugly." Although its appearance was increasingly resembling that of a pure dragon like the dragon souls of Dragon Valley, its behavior was like that of a domesticated dog.
Faced with the bone Xuan Mo tossed it, it snatched it away as if it were a rare treasure, treating it with great relish.
Xuan Mo, who had initially shown little interest, looked at it with disdain. "Little Black," he said, "can't you be a little more respectable? You're a dragon, not a dog. Dragons eat meat; only dogs eat bones."
Upon hearing this, Little Black rolled its eyes at Xuan Mo.
His true thoughts were, "You make it sound so easy. I've been in Dragon Valley for so many years, surviving entirely on the energy here. While I don't starve, I've long forgotten what meat outside looks like. My mouth is practically watering at the thought. And unlike you, who only needed the Dragon King's help to catch some food because he desperately needed it. Otherwise… what do you think?"
But no matter what Xiao Hei was thinking, Xuan Mo couldn't hear it. He only saw Xiao Hei roll his eyes at him before ignoring him. So he didn't say anything more.
Instead, he looked at Mu Lin, "How are you doing now?"
"A very fruitful harvest."
Mu Lin's soul-guided arm clenched slightly. "I didn't expect that even with the loss of my left arm, I could still reach level eighty-nine."
He paused here.
"But this is the limit for now."
"Don't worry."
Xuan Mo placed a palm on his shoulder. "Once I can use the power of the Dragon God's Heart, I'll help you completely erase that strange energy and get a new, flawless left arm. As for the soul bone you need, I'll ask the dragon elder buried here to lend you a hand."
"Hahaha! I'll wait and see."
The sound of wine being poured came from the clinking of the gourd and the wine jar.
When the sound stopped, Mu Lin asked with curiosity, "By the way, Brother Mo, what level have you reached in terms of cultivation and strength?"
"Are you curious?"
"Of course. Why don't you let me see?"
Putting down the gourd, Xuan Mo slowly stood up.
He didn't refuse Mu Lin's request. The next second, his martial soul was fully attached, and nine soul rings circled around him.
But the aura that swept out next completely shocked Mu Lin. Driven by instinct, he involuntarily sprang to his feet, trembling as if an ordinary person had encountered a ferocious beast.
"You, you..."
"How do you feel?"
The aura receded like a receding tide. But Mu Lin's expression remained one of shock until Xuan Mo asked, at which point he regained his composure and said, "The feeling you gave me just now was no less than that of Senior Sword Douluo back then. In fact, in my opinion, your strength is even slightly greater."
"No, not quite greater."
Xuan Mo himself denied it. "Although I have reached level ninety-five, I must say that Grandpa Sword's level ninety-seven strength was by no means weak. Not to mention he was hailed as the titled Douluo with the strongest attack on the continent."
"But you didn't deny that you are weaker than Sword Douluo, did you?"
Xuan Mo raised his wine gourd and took a sip, smiling without saying a word. In reality, if he didn't use his ninth soul skill and the Dragon Slayer Blade, he and Sword Douluo were indeed evenly matched.
However, if he were to use his ninth soul skill and the Dragon Slayer Blade, even Qian Daoliu would likely suffer a defeat at his hands. He might even risk his life.
However, he didn't voice this. After all, it was his trump card, and it was best if no one knew.
"By the way, Brother Mo," Mu Lin seemed to suddenly remember something, "when do you plan to accept the Space Dragon King's test?"
"Not so soon."
After the Wind Dragon King's warning a year ago, Xuan Mo wasn't in a hurry about the test. Instead, he was calm, "I plan to have Uncle Kong give me some training to improve my strength and understanding of space before undergoing the test."
But just then, "Actually, I can help you improve your strength through training."
"Buzz..."
With a ripple, the Space Dragon King suddenly appeared.
Xuan Mo was puzzled by his words. Before he could ask, the Space Dragon King explained, "It's almost impossible for you to comprehend the essence of space. Even I, the Space God of the God Realm, and the once unparalleled Dragon God could only utilize spatial power. The only difference was the strength of our abilities."
"This…"
Xuan Mo froze, stunned.
Yes! He had almost mistaken space for ordinary elements like earth, water, fire, and wind.
The mystery of space lies only below time. He himself needed a year to explore the essence of wind. Moreover, he only grasped it at the last minute.
So, let alone the essence of space.
"Then should I accept the test now?"
The Space Dragon King shook his head.
"No. If I were you, I would choose to spend a year getting used to the Dragon Slayer Blade. Because in the upcoming test, the Dragon Slayer Blade will be indispensable to you. This also means my test will be extremely difficult!"
Xuan Mo's expression turned serious upon hearing this!
All of this was because of the Space Dragon King's expression.
Somber, somber, and still somber!
