Chi masters

Wang Wei and the rest continued to make their way to the victory highlands. After a few hours they finally arrived.

"Alright let's start looking for some powerful soul beasts." Wang Wei said.

"Okay." The other three replied.

….

"My lord the troops we have sent have been found dead by the recon squad." A demon told the demon king.

"What?! Well, it doesn't matter we can now easily sent some demons that are stronger and start causing chaos in the holy world." The demon king said.

"Alright, I will send the stronger demons." The demon said and he then left the room.

"This time I will destroy the red fire dragon family." The demon king said to himself as he thought of the time that the seal was put on the connection of their realms.

….

"Don't let this one get away. It will be a perfect match for Lee Zheng." Wang Wei yelled.

At the moment the four teenagers were in a battle with a domineering crane.

It was at this moment that the crane stopped in mid-air.

"Watch out! It's gonna attack." Wang Wei said.

And as soon as the words left his mouth the crane shot a bright beam out of its beak aiming for Wang Wei.

Wang Wei immediately summoned the dragon scales to block the attack. It was at this moment that Mei Ying appeared behind the crane and kicked it down to the ground. As soon as the crane was on the ground Lee Zheng used his first soul technique.

"It's finally dead." Long Yue said while panting heavily.

"Yes, but it was worth it." Lee Zheng said.

"Alright, you go on and integrate the soul jewel. We will keep guard." Wang Wei said.

Lee Zheng sat down with his legs crossed and started to integrate the soul jewel.

A few hours passed, Long Yue was cultivating, Wang Wei and Mei Ying were getting to know each other better. Suddenly a strong soul energy force could be felt from Lee Zheng. Everyone stood up immediately.

Lee Zheng slowly opened his eyes.

"Lee Zheng, what is the new soul technique you got?" Long Yue asked.

"My new soul technique is called eagle cry. It will strengthen my next attack by fifty percent." Lee Zheng said.

"Wow, that is a great technique. Now we can go search for the next beast." Wang Wei said.

The soon traveled deeper into the victory highlands. The soon found another soul beast which was suitable to Mei Ying. It was the thousand-years-old mind snake.

To Wang Wei and Long Yue, this was a fairly weak soul beast compared to what they have been fighting since they first became chi apprentices. So this fight was like a walk in the park for them.

When Mei Ying finished her integration with the soul jewel the group was attacked by a holy lion.

"Roooaaar!" the holy lion let out a roar as loud as thunder and it was so boomingly loud that it felt like it could crush a boulder with just the soundwaves coming from it.

The lion pounced toward Mei Ying because she was the weakest one in the group. Especially since she just spend a lot of energy integrating with her new soul jewel.

When Wang Wei saw this something awakened in him. A feeling he never had. He was determined to protect Mei Ying, whatever it took!

Wang Wei jumped forward to meet the lion. When Long Yue saw this he immediately helped.

"What are you doing? This is a five-thousand-year-old holy lion. I don't even know if I can defeat it." Wang Wei said.

"I don't care. This soul beast will be very compatible with me so I can't let this opportunity go to waste." Long Yue said.

"Okay then. Let's do it like we did the first time we fought a soul beast together." Wang Wei said.

"Let's get it." Long Yue said.

His first soul jewel lit up and five streaks of fire shot toward the holy lion.

As counter the holy lion shot out one beam of light to block the five incoming streaks of fire.

But while this was happening Wang Wei's first soul jewel lit up and the lion was paralyzed. Because it did not know what was happening it made an opening in its defense. Not wasting any time Long Yue summoned his holy claws and went in for the kill.

He hit the lion in a vital part. But instead of dying the lion had a soul energy explosion.

"Watch out. I've read about this. Sometimes when a soul beast is reluctant to die it will use all of its remaining soul energy to make a final stand. The power it will gain is only for a little while but it will be immense." Mei Ying said.

"It will be fine." Wang Wei said as both of his soul jewels lit up at the same time.

He spewed out the poison breath as the holy lion was paralyzed.

"Now is your chance." Wang Wei told Long Yue.

"Okay, leave it to me." Long Yue said.

He dashed into the cloud of poison surrounding the holy lion.

A few moments later a loud roar could be heard.

"Wang Wei, you can stop now. Let the poison go away and let me integrate with this beast." Long Yue said.

"Okay, hurry it up though, it is getting dark soon." Wang Wei said.

"Okay, okay." Long Yue replied.

"What? But the final stand, and the poison?" Mei Ying said in disbelief.

"Crazy right? It has always been like that. Those two have been training together since they were five years old. The teamwork and chemistry they have are amazing. I mean, I also have great chemistry with them but they are on a whole different level. In both chemistry and strength. You are an extremely lucky girl brother Wei is you, fiancée, he will become a great man. I can feel it." Lee Zheng said.

"Mhm." Mei Ying replied.

After Long Yue integrated with the soul jewel they found a cave and set up camp.
