Chapter 2: Taming the Skydream Ice Silkworm_1
The era of Unparalleled Tang Sect wasn't exactly a fun time for Shrek Academy either.
I don't know if they only accepted freaks.
Heh, it's certain that they didn't take ordinary people.
Because, to join Shrek, besides having the required talent, one also needed recommendation letters from inner city lords of the three great Empires to be admitted.
At first glance, the requirement for twelve-year-olds to be at least level 15 doesn't seem high.
But why on earth would those haughty city lords give you the time of day?
Not to mention those over level 20 at age fifteen, but even kids at levels 16, 17, 18, or 19 at fifteen, aren't they a dime a dozen?
So, those who could get a recommendation letter were, without a doubt, no ordinary children.
They had not just extraordinary talents and strengths, but their backgrounds were also incredibly notable.
In short, most kids from civilian families had no chance at this supreme academy in Soul Land.
It's quite laughable...
When Flander founded Shrek, it was exactly because he loathed this sort of nobility.
Thousands of years later... the dragon slayer has finally become the dragon himself.
But then again, it's actually good for Civilian Soul Masters not to go to Shrek.
Because those with slightly better talents might be trained as key players in other academies, but in Shrek they would only become backups.
It's really too hard to stand out.
There are even those who get eliminated by Shrek.
To put it simply, even if Shrek does enroll students, they must be the crème de la crème.
The dregs are better left to the various Empires.
"Heh, why bother thinking so much?"
"Anyway, I'm not going."
Qin Xiao reined in his scattered thoughts.
Right now, he had more pressing matters to attend to.
Following the original storyline's development, Huo Yuhao's cheats were just ahead.
No matter what, acquiring both the Skydream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux was a must.
The Skydream Ice Silkworm would allow Qin Xiao to quickly increase his Cultivation Level and have the ability to defend himself.
Only after obtaining the Skydream Ice Silkworm would he smoothly activate the cheats that were meant for Huo Yuhao later on.
So the Skydream Ice Silkworm was essential.
Next was Electrolux, this undead spiritual sage. Without him, there was no way to condense a soul spirit.
After all, Qin Xiao's power had been squeezed dry; not a drop could be squeezed out in a short time.
Now that Qin Xiao's Cultivation Level wasn't strong, these two guys were good supports.
"Logically speaking, since one of the main characters, Feng Baboon, is dead, the Skydream Ice Silkworm should have appeared by now, right?"
Qin Xiao furrowed his brows.
However.
The Skydream Ice Silkworm just couldn't bear being mentioned.
No sooner had Qin Xiao mumbled to himself than a voice had already risen in his mind.
"Finally, I've encountered a human with a spiritual attribute. Too bad Brother Tianmeng can't cry; otherwise, I'd be in tears!"
Familiar opening lines, indeed.
Come on, Brother Tianmeng, let me cherish you, heh heh heh heh...
At this moment, the Skydream Ice Silkworm had no idea it was walking into a trap.
The ground began to tremble.
Cracks appeared on the ground in front of Qin Xiao, spreading like a web.
As the fissures widened, a faint golden-white light shone from within, along with wisps of cold air emanating from the cracks.
Suddenly, the temperature in the area plummeted.
Yet Qin Xiao could see plumes of white breath with each exhale.
He knew that the Skydream Ice Silkworm was about to arrive.
However, to make the Skydream Ice Silkworm willingly offer itself to him, he feigned a panicked expression.
Pretending even his calves were shaking, all to let the Skydream Ice Silkworm let down its guard.
As time went by, the area of the fissure grew larger, and in a short while, it had reached a diameter of over five meters. A rotund head and a plump fellow struggled to crawl out.
It was a silkworm over one meter in diameter and over seven meters in length.
Its entire body was the color of white jade, translucent, and every so often on its body, there was a golden ring, a total of ten golden rings from head to tail.
Seeing this, Qin Xiao inwardly muttered. Is this the Skydream Ice Silkworm?
Indeed, just as foolproof and adorable as described in the original story.
"Don't be scared, don't be scared. Brother won't hurt you."
The voice of the Skydream Ice Silkworm rang in Qin Xiao's mind once more.
Heh, what I'm afraid of is you not coming to hurt me... Qin Xiao thought with an inward sneer.
Nevertheless, he feigned surprise and said, "Are you talking to me?"
Proudly raising its head, the Skydream Ice Silkworm said, "Of course, it's Brother. Have you been captivated by my beautiful body?"
Indeed... Qin Xiao wondered where this creature got its confidence.
"Kid, let me introduce myself first, I am the incarnation of heroism and chivalry... the Skydream Ice Silkworm that has set the record for the longest lifespan in Soul Land. Hmm, you can call me Brother Tianmeng!"
Qin Xiao's expression instantly went blank, pretending to be someone who had never seen such a thing before, "A, a million-year soul beast?"
Inwardly, he scoffed, Keep showing off, keep feeling smug, but once you fall into my hands, you're in for a rough time.
Full of pride, the Skydream Ice Silkworm said, "Are you surprised? Are you excited? You're the first human to see my true form."
"So, what do you want to do?"
The voice of the Skydream Ice Silkworm became serious, "Bro wants to become your Soul Ring, an unprecedented Soul Ring of wisdom on Soul Land."
"Ah?"
Giving the Aquipeia Forest a glance, the Skydream Ice Silkworm seemed to grow anxious, "There's no time to explain. Don't worry, I'll be gentle, it won't hurt you too much."
With those words, the Skydream Ice Silkworm's plump body burst forth with speed that far exceeded its form, reaching Qin Xiao in an instant. Its chubby head pressed against Qin Xiao's forehead. At the same time, the ten rings of light on the Skydream Ice Silkworm pulsated as if they had come to life.
