Douluo's holy sword

Hearing Ye Yao's words, Matthew came back to his senses.

How to absorb the soul ring, she had heard Ye Yao talk about the process many times, so she instinctively set her sights on the gray forest turtle lying on the ground not far away, in a pool of blood.

It was only then that she saw how miserable the gray forest turtle was.

The tortoise shell, which was originally thick and huge like a rockery, was almost cracked and hidden under the tortoise shell, and the rough body was also covered with bloodstains.

On its back, one can see a tragic sword mark that almost runs through more than half of its body. Looking down from the top, one can vaguely see the almost completely broken internal organs inside.

The boulder-like head hung limply on the ground, a huge mouth breathing slightly to show that it still had breath.

However, judging from the increasingly dim light in its eyes, even with its huge vitality, it can't last long under such an injury.

"Go quickly, if we wait a little longer, we will have to find another soul beast." Ye Yao said softly, standing next to Ma Xiu.

Immediately, a sharp dagger appeared in Ye Yao's hand.

Ye Yao bought this on the way here.

It wasn't an overly sophisticated weapon, but coupled with Mash's current tenth-level soul power, it was enough to end the gray forest turtle's life.

Matthew's body trembled slightly.

Matthew stared blankly at the Gray Forest Turtle for a while, then looked away abruptly like a frightened little rabbit.

"Master... I'm afraid..." Matthew's voice trembled for a moment.

"Tsk, is this scene too bloody for a six-year-old child?" Ye Yao rubbed his head in distress.

It was true that he ignored it for a while.

After all, when he and Tang San hunted the spirit beasts back then, there wasn't much of a reaction.

Tang San didn't need to say much, even he didn't have much discomfort with killing soul beasts.

It's different from killing people, killing animals...

He had seen a lot in his previous life.

However, Matthew's current reaction is probably that of a six-year-old child from a commoner family.

However, this hurdle has to be passed after all.

So, Ye Yao said softly: "It's okay, don't be afraid."

"Master will help you."

"Close your eyes."

Mashu Ruyan closed her eyes.

Ye Yao handed the dagger to Matthew's hand. Although Matthew's body trembled slightly, he still clenched the cold dagger tightly.

Although Matthew closed his eyes, Ye Yao thought for a while, and still covered Matthew's eyes with one free hand.

Then Ye Yao took Matthew, jumped up and landed on top of the gray forest turtle.

While covering Matthew's eyes, Ye Yao released his martial spirit again, opening a small crack in the reveal that the Gray Forest Turtle was still intact.

Compared to the injury on the back, this completely inconspicuous injury was nothing more than a minor injury in the heyday of the Gray Forest Turtle.

However, now it will become its most fatal wound.

Cutting open the toughest skin, cuticle and part of the flesh of the Gray Forest Turtle, Ye Yao ensured that the dagger in Matthew's hand could truly penetrate the Gray Forest Turtle's head.

So, Ye Yao said: "Empty your mind, don't think too much, then gather your soul power and condense it on the dagger."

Hearing Ye Yao's words, although Ma Xiu's mind flashed the ferocious body of the gray forest turtle from time to time, she still tried to empty her mind and force herself not to think about anything.

Fortunately, Ye Yao's words are still more important in Matthew's heart than the fear of killing and corpses.

It didn't take long for Matthew to completely let go of herself.

Then he instinctively moved his soul power and concentrated it on the dagger as Ye Yao said.

A faint white light suddenly rose from the black dagger emitting a faint cold air.

"Okay, next..." Ye Yao said softly.

Ye Yao grabbed Matthew's arm and brought her arm to the proper position.

"Now, use all your strength to swing your arms down."

Matthew took a sharp breath, and the tragic situation of the gray forest turtle reappeared in her heart uncontrollably.

"Master... I can't do it..." Matthew's face turned pale.

What she saw just now was a little too exciting for her.

Ye Yao couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

If he had known this earlier, he shouldn't have tried to make the scene so big just now.

Just be honest and act as usual, don't make things too miserable for Turtle, and it won't be like this if you bleed a little less.

But, now that things have happened...

"Strength!" Ye Yao suddenly shouted.

The sudden sound in his ear made Matthew tremble all over, and then instinctively obeyed the order, swiping down the dagger with soul power in his hand.

A stream of blood sprayed out, but Ye Yao repelled it with his soul power, preventing the blood from getting on his little apprentice.

If it gets on it, then his apprentice may have to vomit for a few days, and even leave a shadow in the future...

What he did as a master was a failure.

The dagger pierced the gray forest turtle's skull precisely.

The gray forest turtle's head, which was still shaking a little, stiffened suddenly, and then became silent again.

Perhaps, such a crisp blow was still a relief to him.

Mash seemed to be aware of what he had just done, his already pale face turned even paler, and his body shook like a sieve.

"Master...I...I..." Matthew couldn't even speak clearly.

"It's okay, that's it. Ma Xiu did a good job." Ye Yao comforted softly, and then immediately grabbed Ma Xiu and left the gray forest turtle's head, falling to Ye Lingling's side.

He moved his hand away, but Ma Xiu had tightly closed his eyes, unwilling to open them.

Ye Lingling took a deep breath, and gave Ye Yao a hard look, the meaning was obvious.

Is there such a master as you!

Then he pulled Matthew over and continued to comfort him in a low voice.

Ye Yao crouched on the ground and sighed.

Why is it so difficult to be a master these days?

Not only should one be anxious about land cultivation, spirit ring selection, future development, but also the physical and mental health of the apprentices. There may be futures, marriages, etc. in the future...

I am so difficult!Ye Yao sighed from the bottom of his heart.

With a casual glance from the corner of his eye, Ye Yao was no longer in a hurry after discovering that a black soul ring was indeed rising from the Gray Forest Turtle.

As a grown man, he couldn't handle things like comforting children, so he might as well teach Ye Lingling.

He believed that Ye Lingling could definitely handle Masuo.

Ye Lingling comforted the little girl softly for about a quarter of an hour, and finally Mashup looked a little better, at least she dared to open her eyes.

"Master..." Ma Xiu buried her little face in Ye Lingling's arms, turned her head slightly to look at Ye Yao, and said aggrievedly.

Ye Yao rubbed his head and laughed dryly, also a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, well, since this step is over, let's proceed to the next step." Seeing the deep resentment in Matthew's eyes, Ye Yao couldn't help but said hastily.

"The next step is the most critical step, absorbing the spirit ring."

"I've also told you that generally speaking, the limit life of an ordinary soul master's first soul ring should be four hundred and twenty-three years."

"Of course, it's not absolute." Ye Yao shrugged.

"According to each person's physique, this value actually fluctuates, but generally speaking, it will not exceed too much."

"But, you also know now that the soul ring I am about to absorb for you is a soul beast that is more than 50,000 years old."

"Theoretically, this is already the age of the eighth soul ring absorbed by Contra."

"So, there is a problem..." Ye Yao paused.

"Although Master, my method can help you avoid life danger to a great extent, but this is the first time in history that the first soul ring absorbs a fifty thousand year soul ring. What will happen during the absorption process... ...I can't guarantee it either." Ye Yao said solemnly.

"So, here, I still have to ask you."

"Are you going to absorb the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast in front of you, which no one has ever been able to absorb when absorbing the first soul ring, or should I help you find a century-old soul beast that is close to the normal limit of life?"

Although from Ye Yao's behavior of directly bringing Matthew to hunt the ten thousand year soul beast, it can be seen that he hoped Matthew would choose the first one.

However, up to now, he hesitated.

Because, although he is close to 99% sure that his idea is feasible.

However, it is not 100% after all...

He was afraid that something would really go wrong with his disciple.

Just now, while Ye Lingling comforted Ma Xiu, Ye Yao's heart began to struggle again.

In the end, Ye Yao decided to leave this choice to Matthew.

As a master, he would give his disciples several paths to choose from, each leading to a different future.

As for which path to choose in the end, it is up to the apprentice to choose himself.

Ye Yao looked at Matthew deeply.

Ye Lingling also hugged Ma Xiu's arm with a little force, and there was a deep worry in her eyes.

After traveling together for such a long time, she really treats the obedient and sensible Matthew as a little sister, so she doesn't want anything to happen to Matthew.

Emotionally, although she trusted Ye Yao and knew that he would not make fun of Matthew's life, this kind of thing was still too shocking to hear.

With Matthew's talent, even if she doesn't take this risk, she will definitely be able to achieve something in the future.

No need to take such risks at all...

Her lips trembled slightly, but she said nothing.

The choice is completely left to Matthew himself.

"I'll just choose it." Although Matthew's voice was still a little trembling, it was extremely firm.

"Are you sure?" Ye Yao couldn't help but confirm.

"Sure." Matthew bit her lip and nodded vigorously.

"Okay." Ye Yao didn't say anything more.

Now that his disciple has made her decision, what he, as the master, has to do is to help her eliminate all dangers that can be eliminated.

"Avalon." Ye Yao whispered softly.

A golden scabbard appeared in front of the three of them.

"This is..." Ye Lingling exclaimed.

This is the first time she saw Ye Yao's Avalon.

Ma Xiu stared blankly at the scabbard emitting a soft light, and felt a warmth in her body.

Even, the heart that was still a little frightened and afraid fell into peace.

Ye Yao didn't speak, just stretched out his hand and moved it forward slightly.

Following Ye Yao's movements, Avalon moved forward, and then slowly sank into Matthew's body.

"Master...this is..." Ma Xiu broke free from Ye Lingling's arms, and kept touching her body with her two small hands, as if trying to find out where the scabbard was.

"This is Master's scabbard." Ye Yao whispered.

He quietly sensed and confirmed that Avalon had indeed entered Mash's body, and was emitting light continuously, and continued to exert its effect, before nodding slightly.

"Okay, the preparations are done, you can absorb the soul ring."

"Don't be afraid, Master's scabbard will protect you."

I don't know if it's because of Ye Yao's words, or the power of the scabbard that entered his body, but Mash seems to have a surge of courage in his heart.

"Master, what should I do?" Matthew asked.

"Use your soul power, reach out to that soul ring, and bring it in." Ye Yao instructed.

Ma Xiu took a deep breath, recalling what Ye Yao said in his mind, and then sat cross-legged on the spot, not daring to look at the soul ring with his small head, but lowered his head, channeled his soul power, and made a move to the soul ring.

The black soul ring landed on her body as she thought.

Then, with a crisp sound, the soul ring that was more than 50,000 years old was shattered.

The next moment, overwhelming pressure came, as if she was trapped in a -meter trench, which almost made her unable to breathe.

No, it was right to suffocate her.

She wanted to shout, but the pressure that could crush almost every inch of her bones into powder made it impossible for her to make even the slightest movement.

The bones, muscles, and even every cell in the whole body are crying out for dying.

Am I dying?she thought to herself.

Her consciousness seemed to be floating randomly in the endless lightless deep sea, and began to blur at an extremely fast speed.

Master...Father...I'm sorry...

In the drowsiness, she felt a ray of light.

This ray of light is not strong, but it is so dazzling against the endless darkness around it.

Illuminated by this ray of light, Matthew's consciousness that had almost disappeared also regained a trace of wisdom.

what is that?

Under this ray of light, there seemed to be a slight reaction in the body that could not feel the existence.

Relying on the instinct of being a life under the sun, she struggled to reach out to the light.

help me!help me!please!help me!

Matthew kept raising his right hand from below, and finally, he tried his best to reach for the light.

I don't know if it's her illusion, but she seems to be getting closer and closer to that ray of light.

Her sanity began to recover, and her strength seemed to return to her body.

She raised her head and looked at the light.

what did she see?

"Golden... scabbard?" Mash said as if dreaming.

Ah, she remembered, that was the scabbard, Master's scabbard.

That was the last protection that Master gave her.

Thank you, Master...

She finally caught that ray of light.

From then on, she no longer felt any pressure, only endless tenderness and warmth.

Afterwards, the originally weak breath began to recover, and broke through her original height, soaring at an almost crazy speed.

A black soul ring seemed to be quietly condensing.
