In this way, the horizontal width of over 30 people extended to over 600 meters.
After all, the Reclining Garden was definitely safe. Without considering safety, doing it this way had the highest efficiency.
This was the benefit of being united. Otherwise, if everyone was selfish and only thought about themselves, then they could only act on their own.
Not long after, they encountered their first soul beast. It was a lazy giant snake lying on a large tree.
Its body was almost the same color as the trees. Although it was huge, if one didnât look closely, it was really hard to distinguish it.
This was a relatively docile soul beast that was over 20 meters long and as thick as a bucket. The scales on its body were like the texture of a tree trunk. It was undoubtedly a ten thousand-year Tree Snake.
The majority of snakesâ offensive abilities were reflected in their toxicity, and there were also those that were proficient in coiling around. However, Tree Snakes were an exception. Firstly, they were a minority of grass-eating snakes that fed on all sorts of plants. Secondly, they were docile. And their characteristics were very interesting; they were proficient in strength. They were true heavyweights among snake-type soul beasts.
The one who discovered the Tree Snake was Liu Feng. His Martial Soul had the White Dragon King bloodline. Although it wasnât particularly thick, it was still very sensitive to sub-dragon type soul beasts.
At the same time, the Tree Snake seemed to have taken a liking to him. Its gigantic head peeked out from the branch and its gigantic body moved towards Liu Feng.
Seeing such a huge soul beast gave everyone a fright. With a shout, the first years immediately gathered.
However, this ten thousand-year Tree Snake didnât look at anyone else. Instead, it swam directly towards Liu Feng and its gigantic body quickly surrounded him.
Lan Xuanyu looked at Liu Feng with a questioning gaze.
Liu Feng hesitated. âThis is a Tree Snake, right?â
Lan Xuanyu nodded. âTree Snake, who specializes in strength, looks like this senior has cultivated for at least 50,000 years.â
Soul beasts that had cultivated for over 10,000 years had a certain level of intelligence. Upon hearing this, the Tree Snake slowly raised its gigantic head and pointed in Lan Xuanyuâs direction before turning around again. It looked at Liu Feng with its huge snake eyes and stuck out its tongue.
Everyone could tell that this fifty thousand-year Tree Snake had its eyes on Liu Feng.
âFrenzie, try releasing your Martial Soul,â Lan Xuanyu said in a low voice.
âAlright.â Liu Feng raised his right hand and four soul rings appeared beneath his feet. At the same time, the White Dragon Spear appeared in his hand and a clear dragon roar resounded.
The Tree Snake revealed an excited expression and nodded towards him, his eyes filled with hope.
âIt should have acknowledged you. Think about it,â Lan Xuanyu said.
Liu Feng furrowed his brows. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head. âIâm sorry, senior. Iâm good at speed, but youâre good at strength. This isnât very compatible with my Martial Soul. Iâm really sorry, but I might not be able to choose you.â
The ten thousand-year Tree Snake naturally understood his words and its big eyes were filled with disappointment. It nodded its head. Its speed was indeed not fast, at least it wasnât best at speed.
It took a fancy to Liu Feng naturally because of his White Dragon King bloodline. As a subspecies of dragon, if it could become the Spirit Soul of a true dragon bloodline, it would be very beneficial to its future evolution. At the same time, Liu Feng, who possessed the White Dragon King bloodline, had relatively strong potential. It was naturally a very good choice.
But at this moment, Liu Feng didnât choose it. Although it was disappointed, it didnât insist and turned to leave.
âSenior, please wait a moment. We have so many people here, why donât you take a look?â Lan Xuanyu quickly said.
Not being suitable for Liu Feng did not mean that he was not suitable for others.
Right at this moment, a figure leaped out of the crowd. âSenior, do you think I can do it? Iâm also good at strength.â
Lan Xuanyu turned his head and saw Yu Tian walking out of the crowd. Yu Tian had already unleashed his mo sword without hesitation. His body emitted a strong yang bloodline power, and his body was already very strong. At this moment, his swordâs light flickered, making him look even more formidable.
The gigantic snake head turned around and looked at Yu Tian. Yu Tian let out a low roar and raised the mo sword high. His third soul ring lit upâit was Mo Sword Momentum.
His powerful aura increased along with his aura and he seemed to have grown taller. He had an indomitable and tragic aura, as though he could unleash an earth-shattering blade at any time.
The Tree Snake stuck out its tongue and gradually raised its gigantic upper body. The largest scale on its forehead lit up as it quickly swam towards Yu Tian.
A thought suddenly appeared in Yu Tianâs mind. In the next moment, he had already charged forward and leaped high into the air. He held the Mo Sword with both hands and slashed at the shiny scale on the head of the Tree Snake.
âEveryone else, donât move.â Seeing that the students were shocked by Yu Tianâs actions, Lan Xuanyu quickly reminded them.
Yu Tian naturally wouldnât unsheathe his blade for no reason. It should be the Tree Snake who made him do so.
With a âclangâ, Yu Tianâs body was sent flying, but he still held onto the Mo Sword tightly with both hands and didnât let go. The ten thousand-year Tree Snakeâs gigantic head wasnât injured at all, and its huge scales flickered with light. It stopped there as though it was feeling something.
Yu Tian flipped in the air and landed firmly on the ground. He staggered a few steps back before stabilizing himself. âWhat a strong defense.â
The ten thousand-year Tree Snake looked at him and after a moment of silence, it nodded.
Yu Tian was overjoyed. He quickly stepped forward and put away his mo sword. âThank you for fulfilling my wish, senior. Donât worry, just like that slash I made just now, no matter how difficult the path ahead is, I will definitely overcome all obstacles. Letâs move forward together. I will bring you to see the outside world.â
The ten thousand-year Tree Snake nodded slightly and laid its gigantic head down. Upon receiving its spiritual reminder, Yu Tian leaped up.
This Tree Snakeâs head was like a huge rock, and the top of its head was flat. Yu Tian jumped onto it and stood on the huge scale that he had struck.
The ten thousand-year Tree Snake raised its head slightly and moved its gigantic body, bringing him directly in the direction they came from.
This clearly meant that this was a success!
Everyone could only choose one Spirit Soul in the Reclining Garden and get the recognition of one soul beast. Furthermore, with their current cultivation, it wasnât suitable for them to choose two Spirit Souls at the same time because no one knew how far they would develop in the future.
Yu Tian stood on the head of the ten thousand-year Tree Snake and was immediately filled with curiosity. He turned around, waved at everyone, and laughed. âBrothers, Iâll take my leave first.â
He had just entered and found the opportunity that belonged to him alone so quickly. He was naturally overjoyed. The reason why he chose this ten thousand-year Tree Snake was because he saw the possibility of it helping him.
Yu Tian was a strength assault-type soul master and focused on fighting with an indomitable spirit. The Tree Snakeâs amplification of his strength was obviously extremely great. More importantly, the gigantic Tree Snake was not of much help to Liu Feng in terms of speed, but to Yu Tian, who had the weakest mobility, he would become much more agile. Just like now, standing on the Tree Snakeâs head made him feel like he had a huge mount on the battlefield. Once he fought, his battle strength would naturally increase greatly. The one that suited him was the best.
Seeing Yu Tianâs departing figure, the other first years were naturally envious. That was a soul beast with a cultivation of over fifty thousand years! It could give Yu Tian at least two to three ten thousand-year Soul Rings. Everyone knew that a real Spirit Soul was much better than a man-made Spirit Soul. It was more intelligent and could even assist a soul master in battle. Once Yu Tian broke through to the next level and entered the five-ring realm, his fighting strength would definitely increase greatly after truly merging with it.
