Ling Tian took Xiaohai and Xiao Jun to a more comfortable place not far from the building that belonged to the Snow Ape Lord. Next he began to sit down with Xiaohai to help her absorb the spirit essence of the Moon Shadow Wolf.
Xiao Jun also started training again in a place a little far away from them so as not to disturb the absorption process.
"Big brother! Has not the Seal of Slavery completely disappeared from your body? Why haven't you left this forest yet?" xiao Jun asked puzzledly to see the Snow Ape coming to his training ground.
Hearing the sudden question from Xiao Jun, the Snow Ape gasped in surprise then replied in an awkward tone, "Ehem... That's... I still want to stay here for a moment. Because when I finally leave this place, maybe I'll never come back."
"Oohs... So then... Like that, yeah? If so, before leaving this forest, big brother might be able to accompany me to practice!" xiao Jun was excited.
"Aaiih... All righty! I'll keep you practising as long as I'm here." Snow Ape said in a complaining tone, but his eyes looked sparkling, yet he immediately hid it by revealing his pouting face.
Time kept turning, it didn't feel like 10 more days had passed. The cultivation of Xiao Jun who was already at the peak of the eighth stage of the Golden Star had finally managed to break through to the ninth stage of the Gold Star. The aura emanating from his body also became increasingly powerful.
BOOM ... BOOMING
The trees and rocks were smashed into pieces when they were hit by the rampage of the twin swords that were in his hands. Surprisingly, all the objects that were hit by the sword became white, as if they were frozen first before Xiao Jun destroyed them.
"Haha... The Snow Freezing Technique I taught turned out to have improved a little. The speed of your comprehension is also even faster than I imagined. When I mastered it up to this stage, it took me about 3 years. But you have mastered it for only a few months. You are indeed a very genius human cultivator," the excited laughter from the Snow Ape sounded not far from Xiao Jun's training ground.
"Aahhhhhhhhhh... Big brother! Don't flatter me like that while we're still near Master," Xiao Jun grumbled when he heard the Snow Ape give an assessment on the technique he used.
"Why indeed? What I said is true! Since long ago when I was still free to adventure with my Master, I have never encountered a human cultivator who was as genius as you. My Snow Freezing Technique is very difficult for human cultivators to learn. Because, the technique is more devoted to the race of my descendants only," replied the Snow Ape with a tone of astonishment.
"Big brother! Your cultivation is very high, that way you can see the exact age of my Master. Have you ever thought at the age of about 21 years that he has had a cultivation that is at the Earth Star Level?" xiao Jun said slowly.
"Aahh! Tha-that... It was possible that Young Master had hidden his true age. Because, until now I could not see the level of cultivation. I'm sure he used a technique to hide all that stuff." Snow Ape was stunned for a moment, then said in an awkward tone.
"Hehehe... You're wrong, big brother! Master never hid his age because he is currently at his current age. And most importantly, Master is only from the Low-Level Sky Continent." Xiao Jun said with a small laugh.
"Whataaa?! With the immense difficulty of resources residing in the Low-Level Sky Continent, why could his achievements be like now?" shouted the Snow Ape who was very surprised to hear the explanation from Xiao Jun.
"That's because Master isn't just very genius anymore, but he is a real Monster. At our place, people dubbed him as Ling Tian the Monster. So, big brother never flattered me if you were near Master. Because, it would only make me ashamed," Xiao Jun grumbled, yet there was a feeling of pride in his words, as he was a disciple of a Monster like Ling Tian.
"One of the most important things I want to tell you, big brother! If it was Master who learned this Snow Freezing Technique of yours, it wouldn't have taken him a long time to arrive at his perfection stage. It may take a few minutes or even a few seconds," Xiao Jun continued, then left the Snow Ape whose eyes had been wide open with its mouth agape and then he resumed his training.
"If the reality is like that, he deserves to be dubbed a Monster!" the Snow Ape murmured very slowly as if it had not believed what it had just heard.
Day after day the Snow Ape continued to accompany Xiao Jun in training. Sometimes he also fought against him to test had gotten to where the level of strength of Xiao Jun was.
Without feeling like another month has passed. The energy from the Moon Shadow Wolf spirit core that was being absorbed by Xiaohai was already almost depleted. Sensing the aura emanating from within Xiaohai's body about to burst out, Ling Tian quickly released his hand from Xiaohai's back and instantly shot flying into the air.
A short while later, an extremely powerful energy radiated out from Xiaohai's body. The surrounding stones were crushed into fine powder as they were unable to withstand the pressure from the rampaging energy and kept circling around his body.
QUAKK
A loud shout from Xiaohai's mouth could be heard echoing around the forest area. He immediately spread his wings and puffed his chest high to show his cool attitude. Then he suddenly disappeared and instantly appeared right beside Ling Tian.
"Hehehe... You want to fight with me? All right, listen to me! One... Two... Three!" ling Tian exclaimed who instantly flew away using his full speed.
Xiaohai deliberately let Ling Tian go first, then he immediately rushed after him. In just a split second, Xiaohai had been beside Ling Tian.
"Haha... The boss! You can finally admit defeat to me." Xiaohai laughed happily.
"Ciiha... Try it if you can!" ling Tian said as he continued to fly.
"Haha... Alright, Boss!" xiaohai's laughter was loud which then instantly increased his speed.
WUUSSH
An extremely strong wind swish immediately struck Ling Tian's face when Xiaohai had passed him. Now he had fallen behind and was far behind Xiaohai.
"Hmphc... Damnit damnit! Just wait! I will immediately defeat you if my cultivation increases again," grumbled Ling Tian annoyedly who immediately stopped his flying speed.
"Haha... It's the same, boss! If my cultivation also increases, surely our distance will remain like this," Xiaohai said with a proud laugh as she circled around Ling Tian.
"Huh... Nevermind! Let's get back to where Jun is!" Ling Tian still said in an annoyed tone, then directly jumped towards Xiaohai's back.
Arriving at Xiao Jun's training ground, Ling Tian quickly jumped off Xiaohai's back and instantly appeared before the Snow Ape.
"I thought you'd be gone as soon as I removed the Slavery Seal. It turns out that you are still here and playing around with Jun," Ling Tian said as he smiled his trademark smile.
"That's because I still want to stay for a while before I leave this forest forever, Young Master!" answer the Snow Ape with a stern tone.
"Oohs... Apparently so! I have finished everything I wanted to do in this place. So, it's time we left too."
Hearing what Ling Tian said, the face of the Snow Ape instantly turned sullen and looked visibly dejected. He said slowly, "Erm... Anu's... Young Master! If you allow it, may I follow and adventure with all of you?"
Ling Tian was stunned for a moment after hearing the Snow Ape's words and then replied, "Maybe. However, if you really want to follow me, I have one condition!"
"What are those terms, Young Master?" ask the Snow Monkey quickly.
"The condition is that you should do a Soul Contract with me!" ling Tian replied casually while shrugging his shoulders.
