Lin Xiao knew that Yao Lao, who had only awakened after forty years in the Douluo World, was currently in a state that was likely even worse than when he was with Xiao Yan.
If he were to startle the Tianmeng Ice Worm, his objectives might fall through.
“Teacher, given your current condition, to what extent can you act?”
Lin Xiao spoke slowly; he also wanted to see just how impressive the current Yao Lao was.
“Hehe, if I risk falling into a deep slumber or coma, I can exert the power of a one-star Dou Zong.”
“If I do that, however, there’s no telling when I would wake up next.”
“Of course, this also depends on whether your body can withstand my power.
If it can’t, then it’s all for naught.”
“If I don’t possess your body, the strength I can display won’t be nearly as much; it would be significantly further reduced.”
As Yao Lao spoke slowly, Lin Xiao couldn’t help but marvel.
As expected of Yao Lao—this strength was truly formidable, to say the least.
Lin Xiao nodded in understanding.
“Teacher, what do I need to do now to help you recover?”
“Now?
I will also absorb the Soul Power from your cultivation and convert it into Dou Qi to recover.
Although it’s slow, it is useful.”
“If there are medicinal pills that restore the soul, that would be for the best.”
Yao Lao spoke leisurely, seemingly not in a hurry at all.
Pills to repair the soul?
Pills might not be available, but what about Immortal Plants?
The Douluo World had Immortal Plants.
Lin Xiao remembered—wasn’t the gaze of the autumn abyss dew an Immortal Plant that could enhance Mental Energy?
At this point in time, the gaze of the autumn abyss dew should be at the hundred-thousand-year level, and there’s also the Saint Soul Grass, which can also repair the soul.
Consuming just one of those should probably restore more than half of his strength.
Furthermore, with Teacher here, if they were refined into pills, the effect would be even stronger and more advanced.
Restoring Teacher’s soul power shouldn’t be difficult.
“Little fellow, what are you thinking about?”
Seeing that Lin Xiao remained silent for a long time, Yao Lao’s voice rang out once more.
“I’m thinking of a type of Immortal Plant.
That herb should be able to greatly increase your soul power, Teacher.”
“It’s just that I don’t have the strength to go get it right now.”
Lin Xiao explained his thoughts.
“Hehe, no rush, no rush.
You should still prioritize your cultivation for now.”
“Once you have achieved success in your cultivation, it wouldn’t be impossible for us, master and apprentice, to go and take a chance.”
Yao Lao had a good mindset; forty years had already passed, so what did it matter if it was a bit later?
Lin Xiao smiled slightly; that was also an option.
“Little fellow, someone is coming.”
Yao Lao’s voice rang out again.
Lin Xiao pulled over some dense branches to conceal himself.
Before long, Huo Yuhao walked over quickly, following the directions of the road signs.
Suddenly, a strange figure lunged out.
Lin Xiao saw it clearly.
This figure’s speed was not slow and was quite peculiar.
Lin Xiao immediately recognized the creature—the true Beast God that had nearly killed a god: the Wind Baboon!
Huo Yuhao quickly drew his White Tiger Dagger and engaged the Wind Baboon in battle.
“Teacher, I have a premonition that this Child of Fortune’s first opportunity is about to appear.”
“If an opportunity appears later, could you take action, Teacher?”
Right now, the only thing on Lin Xiao’s person that could attract Electrolux was Yao Lao.
Lin Xiao could only rely on Yao Lao to act.
“Hehe, that suits my intentions perfectly.”
“Don’t worry.
If an opportunity appears later and we can take it, we will.”
A smile appeared on Yao Lao’s face, and he was ready to strike at any moment.
Hearing this, Lin Xiao felt at ease.
He would snatch Electrolux away in a moment.
Just like in the original story, Huo Yuhao was no match for the Wind Baboon.
But just as the Wind Baboon was about to throw Huo Yuhao, its movements suddenly froze for a second.
Huo Yuhao fell to the ground, and when he looked at the Wind Baboon again, it was already dead.
As Huo Yuhao looked at the white spirit ring, he also began to smile; he had actually won.
Just as Huo Yuhao was about to faint from the pain, an excited and joyful voice appeared in his mind.
At the same time, in the outside World, Yao Lao also sensed the aura of the Tianmeng Ice Worm.
“What terrifying Mental Energy.
This is the first time since I arrived in this World that I’ve encountered such powerful Mental Energy.”
As Yao Lao spoke, a light also emanated from Huo Yuhao’s body, and invisible Mental Energy instantly enveloped him.
In an instant, thunder suddenly roared across the perfectly clear sky, and a gray aura descended from the heavens.
“Interesting, truly interesting.”
In a flash, Yao Lao’s figure drifted out from the ring, while Lin Xiao watched blankly.
He saw Yao Lao’s terrifying soul power pour out at that moment, as a withered giant hand quickly swept up and captured the gray aura.
The gray aura was pulled by Yao Lao into the ancient black ring where he resided.
Instantly, an old and extremely dignified voice echoed throughout the ring: “Grasping the sun and moon, plucking the stars; there is no one like me in this World.
To think that someone like this old man would actually have a sliver of a remnant soul left behind.”
“Hehe, ‘no one like me in this World,’ quite a boast!
How wild!”
Compared to Yao Lao, this remnant soul of Electrolux was still lacking.
At his peak, Yao Lao was not someone Electrolux could compare to.
Even in his current soul state, Yao Lao surpassed Electrolux.
Electrolux’s soul transformed into a surge of energy and settled within the ring.
Outside, Lin Xiao also heard the voice coming from the ring.
He knew it was done.
Electrolux was now his.
“Teacher, was it a success?
Did we obtain some kind of opportunity?”
Lin Xiao asked, feigning ignorance.
“Hehe, it was a success.”
“Little fellow, before long, you will have another teacher.”
Yao Lao spoke with a smile.
Once he knew that Electrolux was a remnant soul, he understood what this opportunity meant for that little fellow with extraordinary fortune.
“Another teacher?
Teacher, could it be that the opportunity was a certain powerhouse?”
Lin Xiao continued to ask.
“It is the remnant soul of a certain powerhouse, and he is currently still in a slumber.”
“Little fellow, for the time being, you’ll have to rely on yourself.”
“I need to rest for a while and awaken that remnant soul while I’m at it.”
“You must cultivate the Eight Extremities Collapse and the Burning Technique diligently.
Don’t let your master down the next time we meet.”
Yao Lao gave his instructions.
Having just acted, he had wasted some soul power and needed to recover properly.
Electrolux also needed to be awakened, so Lin Xiao could only rely on himself for what came next.
“Rest assured, Teacher,” Lin Xiao promised.
After saying that, no more sound came from Yao Lao.
Lin Xiao leaped over to Huo Yuhao’s side and began to observe him.
Before long, Tang Ya and Beibei also arrived.
“Oh, it’s you, little friend!”
Upon seeing Lin Xiao, a smile immediately appeared on Tang Ya’s face, and she rushed over cheerfully.
But as soon as she saw Huo Yuhao lying to the side, she immediately became concerned.
“Yuhao, Yuhao, what’s wrong?”
“Beibei, come quickly!
Yuhao has fainted!”
Tang Ya shouted to Beibei behind her.
