Zhao Wuji was still hesitant, this could result in her death after all. but Altair and Ivan still didn't give up, saying that they wouldn't put Zhu Zhuqing's life in danger if they weren't sure!
after arguing about it for a little while, they let Zhu Zhuqing be the one to decide, she's the one who will absorb it after all.
when she was asked, she thought about it for a few seconds, it was very dangerous, there was a high possiblity that she could die.
but she also knew and agreed that Ali, Altair and Ivan wouldn't hurt her. they have done nothing but protect her since they have met.
while she was thinking, Eve assured her that she can refuse, that they just think that she could become a lot stronger if she absorbed it, which really warmed her heart.
knowing that they care about her to such an amount and don't want to force her, unlike her family and people around her.
after thinking about it for a few seconds, she finally agreed, knowing that Eve and Al wouldn't hurt her. and with a final sigh and a head shake, Zhao Wuji also agreed.
and they easily took the soul beast down! when she was about to start the absorbation, both Alis and Zhao Wuji told her to give up on the absorbation if she couldn't take it.
she agreed, and finally got to it. she had a pained expression at first, but it was just because of the large amount of soul power.
as time went by and she continued to absorb it, she became more and more relaxed. and when it was completely dark, she finally finished absorbing it with a smile!
Ivan :'finally, it's my turn to say it!' "Zhuqing, you're awake."
Altair :'and my turn!' "Zhuqing, you're awake."
Ivan walked to her as he looked at her with a worried look :"are you alright? do you feel ok?"
Altair also came over as he looked at her with a serious face :"you good, girl?"
Zhu Zhuqing blushed as her smile grew from the care as she nodded :"mhm, I'm alright. thanks for caring about me. I finished absorbing it, and there isn't any problems."
Ivan/Altair :"sigh thank goodness. congratulations by the way."
Zhao Wuji :"congratulations."
everyone :"congratulations!"
Zhao Wuji :"so? what is your soul skill? and what about your soul power level."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at them as she started explaining :"my soul skill is pretty powerful. it's name is hell blade, it allows me to form a blade from anywhere on my body.
and because of my evolved martial soul, it's really powerful now that I'm an almost all rounder. but it's not just that, once someone or something is hit by one of these blades, it will place an explosion on that place that is hit.
and it will explode once I want it to. the explosion will grow bigger and stronger as I become stronger! it also won't harm my allies!"
{basically a bomb that she can detonate from any distance. I don't know if there are bombs in douluo dalu, so I didn't want to say it like that. search Zhu Zhuqing abilities, and look for her 3rd soul skill. the blades are like that, but can appear from anywhere. it's also an anti rape, that's why it's from "anywhere".}
there was a few moments of silence, nobody thought that her soul skill would be this overpowered, not even Eve and Al!
not only is the attack itself powerful, but it also has an explosive effect! and the condition for the effect is just one contact!
do you know how scary the combination of this soul skill and an agility attack system soul master will be?!
Ivan clapped his hand once in excitement as he congratulated her with a smile :"congratulations Zhuqing, that's a very powerful soul skill! you're basically the nemesis if the auxiliary soul masters now!"
Altair :"damn, girl! he's right. not only that, now that you also have a powerful attack because of your martial soul evolution, your one hell of a powerhouse in a solo and a group fight! congrats!"
Zhao Wuji :"hahaha! today has been a real fortune day! Oscar got a flying soul skill, and now this soul skill of yours! good, good, congratulations!"
everyone :"congratulations, Zhuqing!"
she smiled as she nodded, but what she didn't expect, was that Ivan held her left hand, and Altair held her right hand. and they both smiled at her blushing, but smiling face.
Zhao Wuji :"alright, tonight, let's cultivate and regulate. we'll continue to help Xiao San find his soul beast tomorrow."
the three, Al, Eve and Zhuqing sat together with Zhu Zhuqing in the center as the two boys drew circles on the back of her hand with their thumbs with a smile.
Eve was shorter than Zhuqing, so there wasn't any problems when he put his head on her shoulder and let go of her hand to hold her waist.
she blushed, but she wanted to do the same. she was hesitant at first, but then she put her head on Ivan's head and circled her right hand around his waist to hold it.
Al's whispered with a gentle smile as he also held her waist :"hey now, don't leave me out." and put his head on Zhu Zhuqing's head, he was as tall as Dai Mubai, or maybe even a little bit taller, so he didn't have any difficulties doing it.
Zhuqing closed her eyes at the comfort, and held Al's waist as well. Zhu Zhuqing's waist is small, so when the two circled it with their hands, they held each other's hands on her belly..
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong both gave a small "awww" as they smiled at how cute the three were. seriously, it was so cute that you could die from cuteness overload!
but the boys, excluding Tang San just had jealous faces! thinking "why don't I have a beauty to cuddle with like that?!", but Tang San just smiled like the girls for his brother's happiness.
{I'm gonna have a serious guilt trip for what I'm gonna do in a while...}
the boys were doing what is called "eating dog food" by the Chinese. as in seeing a couple flirt.
while Tang San was sitting alone doing nothing, Zhao Wuji came and sat beside him :"Xiao San, are you anxious?"
Tang San :"it's all about luck to find a soul beast. Mr Zhao, you can rest assured. I am patient."
Zhao Wuji :"sigh, in the past, there were many thousand year old soul beasts... even at the outer part of the star dou forest.
now, *starts walking* I wonder if they have gone to the inner part of the forest... or there is any other reasons."
Tang San :"no matter what the reason is, it's caused by us human beings. although soul beasts are ferocious, humans are even more ferocious.
Soul Masters kill soul beasts indiscriminately. even if there are more soul beasts, they will decrease or even disappear.
human cultivation can only last a few decades. soul beasts cultivate for a century, up to thousand years.
soul masters aren't many. but, every Soul master could have to hunt for at least five to six soul beasts.
besides that, how many people out there... hunt soul beasts indiscriminately for living? so, maybe one day the profession of Soul master... would have no soul rings to use."
Altair :"most of the things that you said are true, but I have to disagree with some of them, bro. yeah, most soul masters have to hunt 5 to 6 soul beasts in their lives.
because that's necessary for them to become stronger. but have you ever thought about how many humans are killed by soul beasts?
a soul beast won't have any intelligence till it becomes a ten thousand year soul beast, so it just kills whatever soul master it comes across till then.
and not just soul masters, any human. doesn't matter about the age either, a kid, an elderly, doesn't matter."
Ivan :"sigh, Al is right. but it doesn't mean that any side is right or wrong. this is a weak becomes meat, and the strong shall eat world.
we have to become strong to not be the meat if we want to live. and for that, we have to hunt down soul beasts and absorb their soul ring.
the soul beasts would do the same to us if they were in our place.sigh, so, it's not our fault, nor is it the soul beasts. but the circumstances that we were born with."
Zhao Wuji :"you all are right. but you and I can't control that. all we can do is... to find soul rings for cultivation, and avoid indiscriminate killing.,sigh."
Tang San wanted to say something :"Mr Zhao, previously...-" but he was cut off suddenly by a loud roar!
he activated his purple demon eye technique to find out what it was, but he was pushed back by Zhao Wuji who had an extremely serious look :"prepare to fight!"
they all obeyed, got together and got ready for any attack.
Dai Mubai :"Mr Zhao, what happened?"
Zhao Wuji :"prepare to escape. no matter what happens later, just leave me alone. escape the forest with all your strength! Altair, Ivan. protect them. understand?"
Altair/Ivan :"yes, Mr Zhao!"
the giant trees began to shake as all kinds of growls came from different beasts as they then began to run away!
suddenly, the teenagers turned around as the sounds came from behind them! Zhao Wuji jumped to stand in front of them to protect the teenagers as he said :"Xiao Ao, get the mushroom sausages ready."
Oscar nodded as he began his job :"I, your father, have a mushroom sausage. I, your father, have a mushroom sausage. I, your father, have a mushroom sausage. I, your father, have a mushroom sausage. I, your father, have a mushroom sausage. I, your father, have a mushroom sausage. I, your father, have a mushroom sausage. I, your father...-"
but he was cut off by Dai Mubai putting his hand on his mouth to shut him up and shushing him. as the growls continued, the earth began to shake from time to time!
and finally, a giant 10 to 20 meters gorilla made out of stone with glowing yellow lines emerged from behind the trees!
the gorilla jumped to behind them with it's back towards them. Tang San got in front of Xiao Wu to protect her, Altair did the same for Eve and Zhuqing, and Oscar just got behind Dai Mubai!
Dai Mubai nodded to Tang San, and they were stupid enough to try and attack the giant thing! fortunately, Zhao Wuji jumped and landed in front of them and stopped them, or they would have become meat pastes with a punch from that big guy!
the gorilla turned around, smacked some trees and sent them flying to have more space to stand in and roared, causing a small shockwave! and excuse me, cause it seems to be bigger than I described!
is this the same being that they introduce as 5 to 6 meters in other novels, cause this guy seems to be somewhere between 20 to 30 meters!
Altair :"holy mother of bitchuary..."
Tang San :'this is... king of the forest, titan giant ape!'
the titan giant ape roared again, asserting his dominance! the only thing missing is the T pose...
Tang San :'titan giant ape is like the overlord of the soul beasts. it has the same wisdom as humans. it's strength, speed, attack and defence... are almost flawless!
even if it's only at a century level, it can also battle with soul beasts at 10,000 years old. the most terrifying is... they can also use similar skills like our soul skills.
this is the soul beast standing at the top of the pyramid!'
Er Ming :"ahem ahem, excuse me? then what am I?
the ten great beasts :"bitch, what? piss off, both of you."
silver dragon king/golden dragon king/dragon god :"children, please. the name says it all."
Ali in dragon form :"hahaha! square the fuck up, gahbalar. I will fuck you all combined!"
it's alright, it's alright. there is no internet or Google or anything else here, so mistakes are inevitable.
