Wuhun: Desert Death on the left hand, the world on the right hand

Chapter 72: Prince Chen Passes the Three Levels of Mind and Character (Part 3)

The prince and the scholar left the noisy streets and found a secluded teahouse to sit down. The two chatted happily, and the prince found that although the scholar looked weak, he was actually tough and courageous. After a few cups of tea, the scholar seemed to have made up his mind and took out an ancient wooden box from his arms.

"I have no way to repay you for saving my life," the scholar opened the wooden box. Inside were two beads emitting a faint glow and a yellowed ancient book. "This is something passed down from my ancestors. I will give it to you today."

Prince Chen took the wooden box curiously and looked at the two beads carefully. They were warm to the touch and he could vaguely feel the energy contained in them. The cover of the ancient book had the four characters "Secret Method of Soul Contract" written on it.

"This is..." Prince Chen looked at the scholar in confusion.

The scholar took a deep breath and said slowly: "This is the Soul Contracting Orb and the Soul Contracting Secret Method. According to legend, one can sign a contract with a soul beast, gain powerful strength, and become a soul contracting master."

"Soul Contract Master?" Prince Chen murmured to himself. The word seemed to flash through the depths of his mind, but he could not grasp the exact memory.

The illusory world of Moon Fox Patriarch was quietly taking effect, completely pulling King Chen into the illusion. He had long lost the ability to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Seeing the King's puzzled expression, the scholar explained the cultivation system of the soul contract master in detail. It turned out that in addition to soul masters, there was another way to deal with soul beasts in this world, that is, to contract soul beasts, borrow the power of soul beasts for one's own use, and become a soul contract master.

The King was fascinated by what he heard, and was filled with curiosity and yearning for this new cultivation system. Seeing that the King was so interested, the scholar suggested that they practice the Soul Contracting Technique together and become Soul Contracting Masters.

The King of Chen readily agreed, and the two began to try to sign a contract with the soul beast according to the records in the soul contract secret method. They traveled through mountains and rivers, went deep into the soul beast forest, and with wisdom and courage, using traps, poisons and other means, they finally captured a hundred-year-old soul beast - the armored rhinoceros.

The process of taming the armored rhinoceros was full of hardships and dangers. The Prince and the scholar supported and trusted each other. Finally, after several years, they successfully helped the scholar sign a contract with the armored rhinoceros.

Seeing the scholar riding the armored rhinoceros with such a majestic look, the King of Chen was also full of expectations. The scholar did not forget his original promise, and he helped the King of Chen capture a hundred-year-old soul beast - the Swift Wind Wolf.

After the King of Chen signed a contract with the Swift Wolf, his strength increased greatly. The man and the wolf fought side by side and were invincible. They both realized that the path of a soul contract master was full of infinite possibilities, so they decided to travel together across the continent to explore the mysteries of soul contract masters.

During a journey across the vast desert, they encountered a group of ferocious bandits. The bandits were fierce and cruel, riding tall desert camels and holding sharp machetes. It was obvious that they were not good people.

The leader of the sand bandits was a burly man with a fleshy face. He rode on a giant sandworm with greed flashing in his eyes.

"Kid, if you know what's good for you, hand over all the valuables on you. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!" The bandit leader shouted arrogantly, and the powerful soul power pressure swept over like an overwhelming force. It was a level 31 soul master!

Facing a strong enemy, the heart of the King of Chen began to beat violently, like a drum. A level 31 soul master! This level of strength was like a natural barrier in front of him. The scholar's face was pale, and the wind wolf was digging the ground anxiously, making a low whimpering sound, obviously also frightened by this powerful soul pressure.

Countless thoughts flashed through the mind of the Prince of Chen. Escape? Resist? Which one is the wisest choice? He knew that with his and the scholar's current strength, they could never be the opponents of this group of bandits. If they surrendered, they might be able to save their lives, but would the bandits let them go easily?

He subconsciously touched the soul bond bead on his waist, which seemed to still retain the warmth of the Swift Wolf. In his mind, he recalled the years of training and adventure with the scholar. They supported and trusted each other, and experienced countless hardships and tests together.

"Am I going to die here today?" A sense of sadness rose in the heart of the King. No, he couldn't just give up like this! Even if he knew he couldn't win, he had to fight to the death!

"Instead of living in disgrace, I might as well give it a fight! My fate is in my own hands!" A trace of determination flashed in Prince Chen's eyes. He straightened his back, and a sense of heroism arose spontaneously. Even if he died, he would die standing!

"Hahaha, kid, you have guts!" The bandit leader laughed loudly, "But guts can't save your life!"

Before he finished speaking, the giant sandworm under the bandit leader's seat rushed towards King Chen like an arrow, opened its bloody mouth, and its sharp fangs flashed coldly, as if it wanted to swallow him in one bite.

"Be careful!" The scholar exclaimed and wanted to go forward to help, but he was surrounded by several bandits and couldn't escape.

King Chen knew very well that with his current strength, he could not compete with this behemoth. He took a deep breath and injected his soul power into the soul bead, "Swift Wind Wolf, give me a hand!"

A silver light flashed, and the Swift Wolf appeared beside the King. It roared and faced the sandworm fearlessly. The Swift Wolf was extremely fast, and its body was like lightning, shuttling outside the attack range of the sandworm. Its sharp claws kept scratching the sandworm's body, leaving deep scars that could be seen to the bone.

However, the sandworm had thick skin and flesh, and although the attack of the Swift Wolf caused some damage to it, it was not enough to kill it. On the contrary, each attack of the sandworm was full of overwhelming momentum, forcing the King of Chen and the Swift Wolf into danger.

"Hahaha, you overestimate your own abilities!" The bandit leader laughed triumphantly, "You think you can compete with me? Today, I will show you what real power is!"

He suddenly activated his soul power, and the sandworm let out a deafening roar. Its huge body leaped high and slammed heavily in the direction of King Chen and the Wind Wolf.

"Not good!" Prince Chen's face changed drastically. If this attack was carried out, he and the Wind Wolf would surely die!

At the critical moment, a dazzling golden light burst out from the body of King Chen, forming an indestructible golden light shield that enveloped him and the Wind Wolf. The huge body of the sandworm hit the golden light shield heavily, making a deafening sound, but it could not shake the light shield at all.

The smile on the bandit leader's face froze, and he widened his eyes in disbelief, "How, how is this possible?!"

The golden light faded away, and the King stood proudly, unharmed. He took out a golden spear from his soul guide, pointed the tip of the spear directly at the bandit leader, and an aura of looking down on the world emanated from him, which moved everyone present.

"This kid actually made a breakthrough!" The bandit leader was horrified. He could feel that the spear in Prince Chen's hand contained extremely terrifying power, which was far beyond his ability to contend with.

In the meeting room, Bai Yun and others saw all of this.

"Good boy, you actually made a breakthrough in the middle of the battle!" Bai Yun's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a relieved smile.

"This Prince Chen has a really good character." Even the always picky Moon Fox Ancestor nodded his head with admiration in his eyes. "Faced with such a powerful enemy, he didn't show any fear or retreat, but instead stimulated his own potential. This character is not inferior to that of Lin Feng, Zhang Hu, and Li Hao before."

"You are right, old master." Sang stroked his beard and said with deep agreement, "You should know that when my three disciples passed the three levels, you didn't help them cast illusions. The test that the Prince of Chen went through was far more cruel than theirs, but he always stuck to his original intention. This kind of character is really rare."

Bai Yun smiled and said, "It seems that we have really found a treasure this time. This Prince Chen has a bright future!"

The golden spear in the hands of the Prince of Chen shone brightly, and a fierce momentum rose to the sky, forcing the surrounding bandits to retreat again and again. The bandit leader looked solemn, knowing that he was doomed today, but he still forced himself to remain calm, waving the mace in his hand, and commanding the remaining bandits to fight to the death.

"Kill!" King Chen roared, and rushed to the front of the bandit leader in an instant. The spear in his hand turned into a golden lightning and stabbed straight out. The bandit leader was horrified and hastily raised his mace to block.

"Dang!" A sound of metal clashing rang out, sparks flew everywhere, and the mace in the hands of the bandit leader was actually knocked away by the gun. Before he could react, the long spear in the hands of the King of Chen had already stabbed out again, as fast as lightning, and directly pierced his chest.

"Leader!"

"Run away!"

The remaining bandits were so frightened when they saw this that they threw away their armor and weapons and fled in all directions. The King ignored these minions. He put away his spear, walked to the scholar, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

The scholar shook his head and said gratefully, "I'm fine. Thank you, Brother Chen, for saving my life!"

Prince Chen smiled and said, "You're welcome. We are brothers. This is what I should do."

As he spoke, he turned to look at the Wind Wolf, and the Wind Wolf returned to his side and rubbed his palm gently. The man and the wolf worked in perfect harmony, as if they had fought side by side for countless years.

"Let's go, it's time for us to leave." King Chen patted the head of the Wind Wolf, and the man and the wolf left side by side, leaving behind only the mess on the ground and the backs of the fleeing bandits.
