The entire process of absorbing the soul ring did not last for a long time, but the surging soul power in the body still made Cheng Xiao feel a little difficult, but it was not to the extent that he could not cope with it. He held on and completely absorbed the soul ring.
Cheng Xiao soon had a preliminary estimate of his body. His limit should not exceed 600 years. If it is higher, there may be a problem.
"If this soul-binding vine is 580 years, it will be fine. It just touches the limit."
Cheng Xiao felt a little regretful in his heart, and soon adjusted his mentality: "You can't calculate it this way. Everything cannot be perfect. It is already absorbed beyond the age limit. If it is higher, the risk will be higher. If something goes wrong, it will be too late to regret it."
Higher age limit... Cheng Xiao is not crazy enough to gamble with his life.
What he needs is to reach a higher age limit as much as possible within a safe range, so as to have a clear understanding of himself.
What's more, what is the meaning of the first two soul rings increasing for decades or a hundred years? For soul rings below ten thousand years, the difference in the power of soul skills is not big if it is a few hundred years.
It is unnecessary to risk one's life for such a tiny advantage. It's not like
he doesn't have other ways to improve his strength.
Cheng Xiao slowly opened his eyes, and after sensing his own spirit skills, a subtle arc appeared on the corners of his mouth.
"How is it? How is it?" Xiao Wu came up, full of curiosity.
Tang San didn't know why, but a little regret arose in his heart.
"What a coincidence, a control skill similar to Xiao San's." Cheng Xiao smiled: "I call it Soul Binding Touch, and the shadows I look at will be controlled by me. When I use my spirit skills, the shadows will turn into tentacles to bind the enemy."
"Whose spirit skills are stronger, you or Xiao San?" Xiao Wu was a little curious.
"We have to try it to know." Cheng Xiao shook his head: "Xiao San, do you want to try it?"
"Haha, no, I'm already level 22, you are not my opponent." Tang San smiled, although his expression was humble, but there was a hint of arrogance in his words.
With the master's teachings, plus his own spirit power is higher than the other party, Tang San didn't think he would lose to Cheng Xiao.
"Just try the effect of the first soul skill, don't use the second soul skill. See whose control skill is faster and easier to control the opponent."
"Yes, yes, let's try it. I also want to see Xiao Cheng's soul skills." Xiao Wu looked at Tang San expectantly.
Tang San seemed unable to bear such a look. After a slight hesitation, he nodded in agreement.
Xiao Wu clapped her hands happily and hopped to the middle of the two like a little rabbit: "Then I will be the referee. I will call one, two, three, and you two will attack at the same time!"
Tang San and Cheng Xiao retreated at the same time, their expressions gradually became serious, and they released their martial spirits.
The blue silver grass began to grow wildly around Tang San, and Cheng Xiao's eyes turned into a black hole-like ink color.
"One, two, three, start!"
[First soul skill·Entanglement! ]
[First soul skill·Soul Binding Touch! ]
The two activated their first soul skills at the same time, but in addition to that, they also tacitly retreated to the back. Tang San even used the ghost shadow, and his body turned into a trail of afterimages, moving away from the original place.
They all knew that the other party was using control skills, so how could they stand there without any defense? They were not fools.
The vines transformed by the blue silver grass appeared almost instantly within a meter around Cheng Xiao, and shot towards Cheng Xiao. Cheng Xiao pulled away, but the blue silver grass chased after it, wrapping around Cheng Xiao at a very fast speed, making Cheng Xiao quite embarrassed to deal with it.
Seeing this scene, Tang San's mouth corners slightly raised. It seemed that the direction chosen by the teacher for him was correct. The blue silver grass was indeed suitable for the control route. At this moment, he was extremely glad that he had worshipped Yu Xiaogang as his teacher. However, the next moment, Tang San's smile froze on his face. He suddenly looked down and saw that his shadow had turned into tentacles, climbing up along his legs and directly restraining him, making him unable to use the Ghost Shadow Phantom and stumbling to the ground.
"When!?"
The shadow did not stop, and continued to climb up, restraining Tang San's arms, leaving only his forearms barely movable.
"Xiao San, you lose." Cheng Xiao hid behind the tree. The Blue Silver Grass was blocked by the tree and lost Tang San's control, and instinctively wrapped around the tree trunk.
In a hurry, Tang San didn't think about it, and instinctively bent his wrist slightly, ready to use the hidden weapon.
"Xiao San, it's just a sparring match, there's no need to use your iron lump, right?" Cheng Xiao said with a smile, but secretly used his soul power in his hands, just in case this kid had a brain twitch.
Cheng Xiao didn't want to kill him. He knew that Tang San had a Titled Douluo father watching him somewhere, and killing Tang San was purely a suicidal act. He was not that stupid.
Tang San was startled. Yes, it was just a competition. Could he kill Cheng Xiao with a hidden weapon just because of a failure?
Even if he wanted to kill her, he couldn't do it at this time. Xiao Wu was still watching. If he really killed her, Xiao Wu would definitely not forgive him.
The struggling movements gradually weakened, and his tense wrists relaxed. Tang San's eyes dimmed and he smiled bitterly, "I lost."
Cheng Xiao removed the soul-binding touch and let Tang San go.
Tang San stood up and patted the dust off his body, but his brows were tightly knitted.
"How come Cheng Xiao's soul skills are so much faster than Xiao San's?" Xiao Wu still sided with Tang San in her heart. Seeing that Tang San was still upset, she asked.
"That's natural. Tang San's spirit skills are fundamentally different from mine."
Cheng Xiao explained, "Xiao San's spirit skills and my spirit skills are similar in speed, but there is a key problem. Xiao San's martial spirit is blue silver grass. If it activates a spirit skill, it must have roots, so it needs to take root in the ground first. If I prepare in advance, I can take this opportunity to retreat, and the blue silver grass can only continue to grow behind me and chase me."
"But my martial spirit is different. The shadow follows the object! No matter where Tang San escapes, the shadow will follow. The starting point of the shadow is moving. It only needs to climb up your feet. After wrapping around your legs, the shadow is completely fixed on the ground, completely blocking your movement."
To put it bluntly, the entanglement of plants must have roots, and the roots of plants cannot move. And the "roots" of the shadow are on the human body, so it is useless to escape. It is not just talk to follow like a shadow.
"Then no one can avoid this skill!?" Xiao Wu widened her eyes.
Cheng Xiao smiled and did not answer. Of course he could dodge, but how could he expose his weakness to others?
"Let's go, the journey is over, it's time to go back."
Cheng Xiao gently tapped Xiao Wu's forehead, and then took the lead to walk out of the Soul Hunting Forest.
"Humph!" Xiao Wu covered her forehead, wrinkled her nose at Cheng Xiao's back, and then chased after Cheng Xiao.
"Xiao Cheng, wait for me! Your soul skill is quite interesting, how about we spar and see..."
"No!"
"Why!?"
The two of them jumped and played happily, completely forgetting that there was someone behind them who hadn't caught up.
Tang San looked at the backs of the two, but at this time he didn't feel jealous anymore. He frowned, and his mind was full of Cheng Xiao's words just now.
For the first time in history, Tang San began to doubt whether his Blue Silver Grass was right to go the control route. Cheng Xiao's few words hit Tang San's confidence, so much so that he felt that in the control system, Blue Silver Grass could not compare to Shadow's advantage.
