Lingtian sighed but hesitated to speak, and finally knelt down and stroked Jiang Shu's head.
"No matter what, you survived after all."
He originally wanted to say a few words of comfort, but when he thought of Jiang Shu's experience, he didn't know what to say. In the end, all he could say was this short sentence.
"Your name is..."
At this moment, a wolf howl behind him interrupted Lingtian's words.
Ooooh, ooh~
A ferocious giant wolf suddenly appeared not far away.
Their whole bodies are light dark green, but there is some distorted light around their bodies, making them seem a bit illusory.
The body length is about two meters, the body is on the thin side and not particularly large.
A pair of dark green eyes, shining with a terrifying light, were staring greedily at Lingtian and Jiang Shu.
"Ghost wolf?"
Lingtian narrowed his eyes, his eyes gradually becoming cold.
What happened yesterday is still fresh in my mind, and I was worried that I had no place to vent, so this time it came to my door!
But wolves generally live in groups, so...
Recalling this, Lingtian turned his head and looked behind him.
Sure enough, not far from him and at the edge of the forest, two more ghost wolves came out and were approaching him silently, but their size was only a few smaller than before.
point.
It seems that the Nether Wolf that appeared at the beginning should be the first wolf among the three Nether Wolves.
one two three……
Only three?
Lingtian sighed. He thought there were at least five or six of them. He immediately turned his head and said to Jiang Shu, "Stay well here. I'll be back soon."
"..."
Jiang Shu looked at Lingtian and finally nodded silently.
"roar!"
Following the roar of the Netherhead Wolf, they suddenly opened their mouths at the same time and sprayed out light blue light balls one after another.
"Bing Ji."
With a thought in his mind, Ling Tian raised his left hand, and the Bing Ji Sword was immediately held in his palm. Then he waved the long sword casually, and the sword light tore through the three pale cyan light balls in just a moment.
The first soul skill, Ice Blade!
The first ice-blue soul ring flashed behind him, and at the same time, a bolt of ice-blue sword energy shot out from the Bing Ji Sword.
brush!
The ice blue sword energy is very fast.
Seemingly ignoring the spatial distance, he arrived in front of those Netherworld wolves in an instant and shot from between the eyebrows of the Netherworld wolves.
"Bang bang bang..."
In the blink of an eye, the heads of the three ghost wolves exploded one after another.
Neither the alpha wolf nor the ordinary ghost wolves could withstand the power of Lingtian's sword. At the same time, three ghostly purple soul rings slowly emerged from their corpses.
Lingtian put away his sword and stood next to Jiang Shu.
At the same time, when Jiang Shu saw this scene, her calm eyes suddenly flashed with light. She looked at Lingtian and suddenly said, "Can you accept me as your disciple?"
"I accept you as my disciple...why?" Lingtian asked with a raised brow.
"Because you are strong, I want to become as strong as you!" Jiang Shu looked at Ling Tiandao seriously.
Although Jiang Shu doesn't know what Lingtian's strength is now, she knows that worshiping him as her teacher is the only way for her to become stronger!
"What are you going to do after you become stronger?" Lingtian continued to ask.
"I want to become stronger, avenge my parents, and get rid of all the evil soul masters!" Jiang Shu raised his face and looked at Lingtian as he spoke word by word.
hatred!
Jiang Shu's eyes were filled with hatred!
She hates all evil soul masters. If it weren't for their own parents, they wouldn't have died!
The young girl's vitality tasted cruelty for the first time. The deep hatred and sadness, mixed with the breath of despair, penetrated into her bones.
It seems that the reason why she is alive now is for revenge.
Lingtian naturally noticed Jiang Shu's demeanor at this moment.
"I can't promise you."
"..."
After hearing Lingtian's answer, Jiang Shu lowered his head silently.
Looking at Jiang Shu whose eyes dimmed again, Ling Tian showed a hint of sympathy in his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "Although I can't accept you as my disciple, I can give you a chance to become stronger."
"A chance to become stronger?" Jiang Shu's eyes glowed again.
"But..." Lingtian paused and looked at the little girl.
"Nothing!" Jiang Shu asked hurriedly.
"But you have to cheer up."
As he spoke, Lingtian squatted in front of Jiang Shu, caressed the broken hair on her forehead, and said warmly, "I have also experienced the pain of losing a loved one, but our bodies carry the hope of the deceased, so you have to get out as soon as possible.
Sad. Be more courageous, more positive, and work hard to live a good life for the love and expectations of the deceased."
"But, mom and dad are... wu wu..."
After all, she is still a six or seven-year-old girl.
Having just experienced the grief of losing both of his parents, he could no longer bear it when he heard the comforting voice, so he threw himself into Lingtian's arms and burst into tears.
Lingtian also understood Jiang Shu's crying in her heart, and gently patted her back and comforted her softly.
"It's all over. Your parents also hope that you can live a good life..."
He understood that it would be difficult to change Jiang Shu's inner thoughts for a while, but with him by his side, he would be able to purify the hatred in her heart sooner or later.
…………
The bright moon is in the sky and the stars are twinkling.
The wood burning in the campfire crackled in the light of the fire.
Lingtian and Jiang Shu, one large and one young, were sitting in front of the campfire, with the warm firelight reflecting on their faces.
After Lingtian's enlightenment all morning, although Jiang Shu still had hatred buried deep in his heart, he finally regained some of the innocence and loveliness of a child.
At this moment, a skinned hare was standing directly above the flame, and the sizzling oily rabbit meat exuded an alluring fragrance in the air.
The rabbit was delivered to my door just now, and it happened to be roasted by Lingtian for dinner.
“It smells so good~”
Jiang Shu stared at the rabbit meat with his big bright eyes. A smell of aroma echoed on the tip of his nose and he swallowed subconsciously.
Gulu~Gulu~
The little girl blushed shyly and buried her head in her arms in embarrassment.
"You can eat it after a while."
Lingtian also saw Jiang Shu's dilemma and chuckled.
Immediately, he picked up a small bag of seasonings, picked up a handful of spices and salt, and sprinkled them evenly on the shiny rabbit meat. The aroma suddenly became a whole new level than before.
"Okay, it's time to start dinner."
Lingtian put the roasted hare into a plate that had been prepared, cut off two rabbit legs with a knife, and handed it to the eager little girl who was already waiting.
"Thank...thank you."
Jiang Shu shyly took the rabbit meat, then pricked a piece with a knife, and stuffed it into his mouth after it cooled down a bit.
“It’s delicious~”
The fragrance filled the entire mouth, and the little girl looked enjoying it.
Lingtian looked at Jiang Shu's satisfied little face, chuckled twice and pulled off a rabbit leg for himself, chewing it with great pleasure. I have to say that the hare meat is really chewy and not fat.
It's neither thin nor fat, and coupled with Lingtian's skillful craftsmanship, it's sizzling and oily when you bite into it.
After a while, a pile of broken bones appeared on the ground, and a whole hare was quickly eaten by the two of them.
After eating, the sky became a little darker.
The two people beside the bonfire had their own thoughts, sitting there looking at the strong flames.
"Brother Lingtian, what is a martial spirit?" Xiao Jiang Shu held his chin and looked at Lingtian's side face, blinking and asking curiously.
Jiang Shu has lived in a village since he was a child. His parents are ordinary people and do not know much about soul masters.
In their eyes, soul masters are all superior, and they only know that soul masters are a condescending profession. Apart from this, they did not know about other issues related to soul masters before.
"Everyone on the Martial Soul Douluo Continent has it, and will awaken it when they are six years old. Martial souls include animals, plants, objects, and can even be themselves.
Martial spirits can assist people in their daily lives and can also be used in combat; just like my martial spirit Bing Ji Yinshuang, it is a kind of weapon martial spirit that gives me strong combat power."
"But not all people who awaken martial souls can become soul masters. Only those who have soul power detected after awakening are qualified to become so-called soul masters. And the realm above the soul master is too much for you.
It’s too far away, let’s wait until you have awakened your martial soul.”
"Soul master...soul power..."
Jiang Shu held his chin and thought for a while, raised his toes slightly, raised his head and looked at Lingtian and asked expectantly, "Brother Lingtian, what kind of martial spirit will I be?"
"Your martial spirit..."
Lingtian looked at Jiang Shu and fell into silence.
As we all know, the strength of a martial spirit is generally determined by both parents. Given the qualifications of Jiang Shu's parents, if her martial spirit had not mutated, it would most likely be a useless martial spirit without any soul power, and it would even be useless throughout her life.
She may not be able to obtain the soul ring to complete her goal.
You can imagine how disappointed Jiang Shu would be if he awakened a useless martial spirit.
"Brother Lingtian?" Jiang Shu blinked in confusion.
"It should be a good martial spirit." Lingtian came back to his senses. After thinking for a moment, he patted the little girl's shoulder and said warmly.
"Really!"
"Um."
Lingtian nodded and smiled gently, with a faint blue light flickering on his forehead.
At the same time, a ray of ice-blue energy appeared in the palm of his hand, flowing along Jiang Shu's shoulders and into his body, quietly changing the martial spirit that had already been formed.
But the little girl didn't know all this.
Jiang Shu was still immersed in joy. She trusted Lingtian who saved her.
So she believed whatever Ling Tian said, since he said his martial spirit was good, then his martial spirit must be good!
"alright!"
After doing all this, Lingtian retracted his palm, stood up and said to the excited little girl, "Go to bed early, we have to get up early to go to town tomorrow."
He was going to the Killing City on this trip, so naturally he couldn't take this little girl Jiang Shu with him.
So Lingtian plans to go to a nearby town tomorrow and ask the disciples of the Qibao Glazed Sect to bring Jiang Shu back to the sect, so that when the little girl awakens her martial spirit, she will not be delayed in her cultivation, and she can be accompanied by her peers from the sect.
