Chapter 49 Pure and Innocent
In the training field.
Jiang Ci'an's eyes were half-closed, his expression was calm, and his breathing was long and steady.
The blood-red, scorching energy was almost tangible, swirling within a few meters of him.
"Bang, bang, bang—"
Each heartbeat was as strong and powerful as a drumbeat.
The surrounding crimson energy pulsed with the rhythm of my heartbeat, rising and falling like tides, surging again and again with each heartbeat.
Without even needing to feel it, simply by observing the crimson energy surrounding him, one could sense a boundless life force and a powerful, imposing aura as heavy as a mountain.
And that's not all!
Behind the boy, a blood-red figure faintly appeared.
The figure was about two or three meters tall, with an ethereal form and blurred outline, yet it was easy to discern that the figure resembled the boy remarkably well, but was more mature, like the boy after he had grown up.
The figure stared with its eyes wide open, its golden pupils indifferent and calm, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, looking down at everything before it.
Dong'er stood at the entrance to the backyard, her steps faltering, her eyes widening slightly, momentarily at a loss for words.
Beside her, Xiao Xiao turned her head to look at her, a knowing smile in her emerald eyes, and asked with a light laugh:
"Shall we continue our sparring?"
Wang Dong'er readily withdrew her right foot, then glared at Xiao Xiao with annoyance.
She's not blind.
Just from the commotion, anyone who didn't know better would think that a Soul Saint was activating his Martial Soul True Body!
Wait... how did this guy cultivate? I can't understand it at all!
Xiao Xiao chuckled softly, then turned her gaze back, her emerald eyes flickering slightly.
Wang Dong'er stared at the figure on the prayer mat for a moment, but couldn't figure it out. She then turned to look at Erming, who was also observing Jiang Ci'an.
"Second Father, do you understand?"
"Forehead..."
Erming, who was engrossed in watching, paused, snapped out of his reverie, and said somewhat uncertainly:
"This kid seems to have mastered the power of qi and blood..."
He paused, then carefully sensed it again.
"However, his vital energy seems to be mixed with soul power, but the mixture appears to be somewhat unstable..."
Erming didn't continue, because that was all he could understand.
As a being who became a god through a soul beast, even though he was severely suppressed by the world, he was still a step above an ordinary level 98 Super Douluo.
However, he didn't really know much about things like Soul Masters and Martial Souls.
After all, he doesn't need to cultivate these things.
He really couldn't understand the state of the kid in front of him.
At first glance, he seemed to be around level 20, with a calm demeanor and solid foundation.
But how could a Soul Master at level 20 or so have such abilities?
This aura... it doesn't seem like that of a Grand Soul Master at all.
Could it be a special martial soul or some kind of special soul skill?
Erming fell into a silence that I couldn't understand but which deeply shocked me.
Seemingly sensing the gazes of the crowd, the crimson energy surrounding Jiang Ci'an began to slowly recede.
The scorching heat receded like the tide, and the overwhelming aura, as heavy as a mountain, dissipated layer by layer. The blood-red phantom also naturally vanished.
Everything returned to calm.
Jiang Ci'an opened his eyes, a golden light flashing in them as he glanced at the people in the distance. His expression changed slightly, and his demeanor naturally softened, completely losing the oppressive aura he had just exuded.
It's like he's become a completely different person.
Dong'er had already moved closer, her blue and pink eyes scrutinizing Jiang Ci'an from head to toe, her brows slightly furrowed.
"Hey, what level are you?"
"Not much taller than you." Jiang Ci'an readily agreed.
"real?"
"real."
Looking into Jiang Ci'an's golden eyes, Wang Dong'er felt that something was amiss.
The man's expression was too calm when he spoke, so calm that it instinctively made her feel that something was amiss.
Behind him, Erming frowned as he watched his cabbage get so close, almost touching the boy's face.
It seems like my own cabbage is being used to steal pigs again!
Erming immediately became alert and was about to speak when he saw Wang Dong'er turn her head, her blue and pink eyes looking at him:
"Second Uncle, you should go back and let First Uncle know I'm safe. I'll stay at the pharmacy tonight; I'll be fine!"
"..."
Erming remained silent.
He glanced at Wang Dong'er, then looked at the boy beside her.
The boy met his gaze, his expression remained unchanged, and he nodded with a smile, appearing very polite.
Erming gave him a warning look.
Jiang Cian: "..."
He didn't do anything, did he?
It's all perfectly innocent, okay?
Erming withdrew his gaze, sighed inwardly, and then said, "Then, Dong'er, I'll be going now."
"Okay, goodbye Second Daddy!"
Wang Dong'er waved her hand and watched Er Ming's figure disappear.
Once Erming was completely out of sight, Wang Dong'er immediately moved closer to Jiang Ci'an, her bright eyes fixed on him with a hint of eagerness:
"Second Uncle is gone, can you talk now? What were those tricks you used just now? How did you manage to do them?"
Jiang Ci'an looked at the curious child in front of him and smiled:
"Want to learn?"
Dong'er's eyes lit up.
"May I?"
Jiang Ci'an shook his head: "It's newly made and not stable yet. If you want to learn it, you'll have to wait a bit longer."
"Yay!"
Wang Dong'er cheered.
Although this guy sometimes excludes her along with Xiao Xiao, making her feel like a third wheel, he's otherwise pretty good!
Dong'er couldn't help but hum softly, completely forgetting that she had just been plotting with Xiao Xiao in the carriage how to join forces to defeat Jiang Ci'an.
Jiang Ci'an looked at the cheering white goose in front of her, then turned his gaze to Xiao Xiao, who had been standing quietly to the side.
His childhood sweetheart remained as petite as ever, her dark green hair having grown even longer than it had been six months ago. It was tied in a high ponytail and hung down naturally, while her emerald green eyes gently reflected his image, quiet and bright.
"How did it go?" Jiang Ci'an asked softly.
"Very smoothly."
As Xiao Xiao spoke earnestly, she raised her hand, and a small, pitch-black cauldron emerged from her palm.
Two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, appeared and slowly rotated around the cauldron.
"My second ring is around 2,900 years old. It was taken from a dark gold bear, which greatly improved my physique. The weight and suppressing power of the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron have also increased a lot."
Jiang Ci'an nodded.
The Dark Gold Bear is a top-tier bear-type soul beast with some Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear bloodline. Its strength, defense, and physical strength are all top-notch.
At the same age level, unless they are those soul beasts with extremely powerful bloodlines, they are almost invincible.
Xiao Xiao's ability to absorb a 2,900-year-old Dark Gold Bear Soul Ring at level 20 must have greatly enhanced her physique.
Afterwards, the practice of "unraveling the cycle" will not only be much easier, but the benefits will also be greater.
