"still?"
Ye Ming's heart sank, and he thought to himself, "Could it be Meng Yiran?"
Her grandfather, Long Gong Meng Shu, and her grandmother, She Po Chao Tian Xiang, were no ordinary people!
These two are always inseparable, so they must not be too far apart.
We must not get into a conflict with them!
Ye Ming walked to the cave entrance, pushed aside the boulder blocking his way, and looked outside with a wary expression.
Outside the cave entrance, a young woman with exceptional poise and short hair, dressed in a blue bodycon dress, was helping a hunched old woman in her sixties or seventies, who was leaning on a snake-shaped cane, slowly walk towards them.
Upon seeing this scene, Ye Ming was certain that the two were Snake Granny Chaotianxiang and Meng Yiran.
"Who's outside?" he whispered warily at the two figures approaching from a distance.
Upon hearing the noise, Chao Tianxiang and the other person tensed up instantly.
However, when they saw that there was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth standing at the entrance of the cave, their hearts were relieved.
How much of a threat could such a young man pose?
Chao Tianxiang snorted coldly, and with a light tap of her snake staff, six terrifying spirit rings rose from beneath her feet: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, and black.
"Which sect's disciple are you?" she asked Ye Ming coldly, staring at him. "Why are you here alone?"
"Soul... Soul Emperor?" Ye Ming's face showed a hint of surprise, then he replied respectfully:
"Your Excellency Soul Emperor, this humble one is a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect. Our sect elders led us here to acquire soul rings!"
"However, I was separated from the sect elders due to the attack by the soul beasts. I'm looking for them now."
Chao Tianxiang had initially looked down on Ye Ming, but that look disappeared after he heard Ye Ming mention Haotian Sect.
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; Chaotianxiang had long heard of the reputation of the world's number one offensive sect.
Even if he and Meng Shu joined forces and could rival a Title Douluo, the Clear Sky Sect had been closed for many years, and they dared not challenge the Clear Sky Sect.
Upon hearing that there were sect elders nearby, the disdain on his face instantly turned into eagerness.
However, Chao Tianxiang still tentatively asked, "You say you are a disciple of the Haotian Sect, but do you have any proof?"
At this point, Ye Ming knew he had no choice but to reveal his martial soul. Although his spirit rings were somewhat astonishing, it was a last resort.
Now all he wants is to get away as soon as possible.
Chao Tianxiang and Meng Shu did not have a very good reputation in the Douluo Continent.
He could manage to deal with Chaotianxiang alone, but if Meng Shu also came, things would be troublesome.
Ye Ming extended his right hand, and the dark golden Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit appeared in his hand. At the same time, two spirit rings shimmering with purple light slowly rose from beneath his feet, swirling around his body.
"Senior, could this Clear Sky Hammer prove it?"
He gripped the Haotian Hammer in his hand, a hint of pride appearing on his face.
Chaotianxiang naturally recognized the Haotian Hammer, which completely dispelled her doubts.
Especially when she saw Ye Ming's two thousand-year soul rings, she was even more convinced that this person must be a core disciple of the Clear Sky Sect!
Only these three sects could cultivate such a monstrous talent that could overturn the world of soul masters.
She had seen Tang San's fourth spirit ring before, which was a ten-thousand-year spirit ring. Although she was surprised to see this special situation again, she could accept it.
"Of course I can prove it," Chao Tianxiang said with a smile. "I, Chao Tianxiang, have long admired the Haotian Sect."
"If I were to meet with the elders of the sect, please introduce me to them."
Ye Ming put away the Haotian Hammer, his face full of smiles: "Senior is too kind. Once I reunite with my sect, I will definitely introduce you to them."
"This junior is in a hurry to find the elders and the others. I'll pay my respects properly another time!"
He cupped his hands in greeting to Chaotianxiang, smiled at Meng Yiran, and walked leisurely towards the distant mountains and forests.
As Chao Tianxiang watched Ye Ming walk away, she said to Meng Yiran beside her with some emotion, "The Haotian Sect truly lives up to its name!"
"This young man's soul power level is only level 30, but his first and second soul rings are both at the thousand-year level. He's truly a prodigy!"
Meng Yiran watched that handsome figure walk away, pouting as she said, "Grandma, I'm strong too! In five years, after absorbing my fifth spirit ring, I'm a Spirit King now!"
"Besides, so what if his first and second spirit rings are at the thousand-year level? Can he compare to Tang San?"
As Meng Yiran spoke, a slight blush rose to her cheeks, and she murmured, "I wonder how Tang San is doing now..."
Chao Tianxiang shook her head helplessly as she looked at her granddaughter's appearance.
"Great, my family is still the best."
"But it's been so long, are you still thinking about that Tang San?"
……
After leaving, Ye Ming did not linger and headed straight into the Star Dou Great Forest.
The outer area is mostly inhabited by centuries-old or millennia-old spirit beasts, which do not significantly improve his combat abilities.
His target was the mixed-elemental circle, where thousand-year-old soul beasts were common and even ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts appeared.
The Star Dou Great Forest is extremely vast, and it took Ye Ming five days of walking and stopping to reach the edge of the mixed zone.
After entering the mixed zone, he felt that the atmosphere in the forest was different, and the air seemed to be filled with a murderous aura.
He used the Wind-Following Ear Gu to carefully listen to every rustle of wind and grass within a kilometer radius.
He quickly looked to his left and exclaimed in delight, "I didn't expect to encounter a soul beast so soon!"
"I hope my third spirit ring will be suitable!"
The Wind and Moon Wheel appeared beneath Ye Ming's feet, and his running speed increased dramatically, covering a distance of 100 meters in an instant.
A few breaths later, they arrived at the place where the soul beast had been discovered.
He pushed aside the blue silver grass that was as tall as a person and saw an ant-like soul beast about two meters long, which was gnawing on a dead ghost leopard.
This ant was covered in a dark golden carapace, had six thick and powerful short legs, and six eyes on its head that emitted a ghostly green light.
"A massive ant!"
Ye Ming's eyes lit up. This Thousand-Pound Ant was two meters long and its cultivation level should be around 13,000 to 15,000 years.
Based on his current physical condition, he should be able to absorb the spirit ring of this spirit beast!
The Thousand-Pound Ant is skilled in strength, and he also wanted to test his own strength and physical fitness!
Ye Ming activated the Moonbeam Gu, and two palm-sized, dark blue moon blades pierced through space, slicing into the Thousand-Pound Ant's right foreleg.
"clang!"
The sound of metal clashing rang out as the Moon Blade cleaved a huge gash in the Thousand-Pound Ant's right foreleg!
If it weren't for its tough carapace and outstanding defense, this moon blade could have severed its leg!
Right now, only half of the bone is hanging from the broken leg, and blood keeps gushing out.
"Chirp!!"
The ant felt pain, and its six eerie green eyes immediately spotted Ye Ming emerging from the grass.
It moved swiftly, charging directly at Ye Ming, its massive jaws snapping as if to bite him in two instantly!
Although Ye Ming had injured its leg, the Thousand-Pound Ant's speed was not affected in the slightest, and it charged towards him with the speed of a mountain collapsing and a jade pillar falling.
This speed surprised even him.
However, Ye Ming would not sit idly by and wait for his death.
The reason he didn't use the Moon Blade to behead the enemy directly was because he used the Thousand-Pound Ant to familiarize himself with his own Gu insects.
He had suppressed and restrained himself for too long at the Haotian Sect.
Ye Ming's true essence surged, directly activating a third-stage Gu worm!
