Chapter 59 The True Blue Silver Emperor?
"Xiao Yan...you...on your head..."
Xiao Wu pointed cautiously.
Xiao Yan's heart tightened. This familiar feeling, this strange state... this look in his eyes.
It's just like the scene where Xiao Xun'er saw the awakened rabbit!
Oh no! My reputation!
He quickly beckoned to summon the Blue Silver Grass. Its smooth leaves reflected his appearance, revealing a vertical line with an eerie aura slowly appearing between his brows on his handsome, flawless face.
"Huh? Wait, what's this?"
"Could it be... yet another martial soul?"
Xiao Yan couldn't help but think again, "It was the same last time, and now it's happening again?! Are martial spirits in this world really so capricious, able to awaken however they want?"
But as soon as he relaxed his mind, the vertical mark suddenly opened!
Without warning or any buffer, a vertical pupil with a dark red sheen and clear whites suddenly appeared between his brows!
"Buzz—!"
Xiao Yan's fighting spirit was suddenly depleted by nearly half.
However, the things before his eyes became clearer and clearer, clearer and clearer...
Until it penetrates to the bone!
But this seems more like a passive, incidental consequence!
But true ability,
He instinctively looked at the nearest rabbit!
Four eyes met, no, five eyes met!
Xiao Wu's pink eyes instantly lost focus, her once lively pupils turning gray and lifeless. A blank and dazed expression appeared on her face, and her body swayed slightly...
"??"
"X-ray vision? Hypnosis??"
Xiao Yan's eyebrows twitched repeatedly.
The expressions on his face were priceless.
No, there's something wrong with every one in a million!
Even though I'm trying so hard to control myself, why am I still behaving like this?
Bizarre? Strange? What is this thing?
It doesn't seem to be a martial soul, so what else could it be...?
"External Soul Bone!"
At this moment, the Azure Bull Python gradually came to its senses, looked at Sister Xiaowu and the human's state, and let out a low growl.
Niu Tong stared directly at Xiao Yan's eyes on his forehead.
To him, humans who possess soul bones are more hateful than those born with soul bones!
The birth of each soul bone is due to the soul beast experiencing a great shock before or after its death.
But why is it appearing now? He clearly ended its life decisively, without inflicting any torture...
No! Now is not the time to think about these things!
The Azure Bull Python's aura trembled slightly, and it growled in a deep voice.
"Human, let go of Sister Xiaowu!"
He never expected human capabilities, but that was no reason for the other party to insult Sister Xiaowu so arbitrarily in front of him!
Xiao Yan only glanced at the rabbit consciously.
A thought subtly stirred within me.
Xiao Wu shuddered, her eyes quickly regaining their clarity. She shook her head, looking at Xiao Yan with some confusion, then immediately became alert, hugging herself tightly.
Why are you looking at me! Not now!!
"..."
Xiao Yan silently turned his gaze away, and the lines on his forehead closed as his gaze shifted. He had just thought about it casually and wanted to test it out, but it proved that the ability was indeed effective. At the same time, he heard Xiao Wu's soothing and reassuring breath.
...and the effect is quite good...
He had no time to ponder these things anymore, but his attention was drawn back to the external soul bone that the giant snake had mentioned earlier.
"What is this now?"
Xiao Yan repeated the sentence, lightly touching his forehead with his fingers, feeling as if he were touching his own eyes.
It's like a martial spirit, but it's not a martial spirit.
It's more like... an independently functioning "extra organ".
No! Now is not the time to study these things.
Now it's time for "thank you".
Xiao Yan looked up and met the giant snake's bulging eyes directly. Suddenly, he smiled, his tone sincere and without a trace of malice:
"Thanks for the recommendation, this spirit ring is really good, I'll definitely buy it again next time!"
"..."
The azure bull python's head remained motionless, only its giant pupils narrowed slightly for a moment.
It could tell that the gratitude in the human's words was genuine, as if saying that the spirit ring was indeed to its liking.
But it was precisely because of this that he felt even more depressed.
It failed! It actually failed!
A mere Soul Venerable, yet he withstood a mental shock that even ordinary Soul Kings might not be able to withstand for ten thousand years, not only surviving but also seemingly... completely unharmed?
It may even have turned out to be a blessing in disguise, giving rise to externally attached soul bones?
What on earth is going on?!
Could it be that this human inherited some of Xiao Wu's spiritual qualities as well? But even if he inherited some of them, with his Soul Venerable cultivation foundation, it would be impossible for him to do it so easily!
Is this human... really just a human?
A jumble of thoughts flashed through his mind, and in that instant, the massive body of the Azure Bull Python suddenly stiffened slightly.
Thinking back, an extremely familiar aura didn't come from Sister Xiaowu, but from... that Blue Silver Grass?
Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul?
How could a human possibly possess such a powerful Blue Silver Grass martial soul?
But if it's not human...
A detail he had almost overlooked was suddenly magnified.
"Blue Silver Emperor..."
The azure bull python's enormous eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan, and it spoke slowly and deliberately, with disbelief and astonishment:
"You are... the Blue Silver Emperor?!"
"No, the Blue Silver Emperor perished long ago under the heavenly tribulation... What exactly are you?! No! The Blue Silver Emperor couldn't possibly be dead, but he shouldn't look like you!"
"Hey, isn't it a bit rude to address someone by their name?" Xiao Yan frowned slightly, revealing a hint of displeasure at being offended.
but……
"However, the title 'Blue Silver Emperor' is quite nice. So, after a martial soul evolves, it can be given an even more impressive title? That's good. My martial soul should be what you call Blue Silver..."
"I'm not talking about your martial spirit."
The deep voice of the Azure Bull Python cut him off. Its enormous bull eyes never left him, its gaze fixed on him, as if trying to see right through him.
I'm talking about you!
"You are the Blue Silver Emperor!"
"How did you manage to completely conceal your soul beast aura and transform from a soul beast into a human?!"
"No wonder you're not afraid of us, and no wonder you possess such immense life force to resist the sacrificial beings! I should have realized long ago that only you on this continent could do this!"
Faced with these affirmations one after another, Xiao Yan was speechless for a moment.
But he could see the certainty in those huge bull eyes. The previous wariness quickly faded, replaced by a more complex and difficult-to-discern emotion: astonishment, realization, relief, and calm.
This change left him somewhat bewildered.
But it seems like a good thing.
His mind raced, and then he let out a long sigh.
A perfectly timed sigh and helplessness appeared on Xiao Yan's face, as if he were about to begin a long narration:
"This is a long story..."
You're lying.
The deep voice of the Azure Bull Python suddenly interrupted, mercilessly cutting off his performance that had just begun, but then it immediately continued...
"Blue Silver Emperor, I didn't mean to pry into your secrets, but since it concerns Sister Xiaowu, so..."
