The Night King: The Asura
Ch-12555i. Sect entrance exam (4)
Time passed, the sun had started to fall and there was only one and a half hours left before sinking, which meant that the prospective disciples only had one more hour before the second stage exam was over.
And right now, Xie Ling and her brother Xie Long had already managed to gather over forty soul crystals, which meant, they were both already qualified to pass the third stage examination.
However, Xie Long did not want to rush through this second stage examination, he wanted to make use of the past hour to gather as many soul crystals as possible, because later on, he wanted to make use of the time of the last hour to gather as many soul crystals as possible, that soul crystal he would use to increase his cultivation.
The events they had experienced before made Xie Long realize how dangerous the cultivation world was, besides, he also realized that his current self was very weak, even to protect his younger brother he was still unable to.
"Sister, where are we going now?" ask Xie Ling.
"We will still be walking through this forest, I'm sure that an hour's time is enough to gather some more soul crystals" Xie Long replied.
"Ling'er, do you remember what happened when we confronted the tiger?"
"I don't remember anything, but according to uncle, it was he who had defeated the tiger."
Xie Long was silent at his sister's remark, when clearly he witnessed with his own eyes that his sister had killed the tiger, and he was very sure, what he saw was reality.
"It seems like something was hidden by father and uncle" muttered Xie Long.
Although they were still unaware of the existence of the powerful force within his body, Xie Long was able to deduce that there was a secret deliberately hidden from them.
"What secrets are they hiding from us? And why did uncle have to lie to Ling'er?"
"Sister!"
Xie Long woke up from his daydream hearing his sister say "What's wrong?"
"Look, there seems to be a big fight there" Xie Ling replied.
Xie Long directed his gaze towards the direction his sister was pointing at, and sure enough, he could also feel the existence of an enormous aura of power emanating from that direction.
"You're right! Let's check" he said, then head towards the source of the aura of the power.
Upon arriving at the place in question, the two were immediately startled by the fight between two birds against a pack of wolves, but what surprised them even more was that, the strength of those two types of spiritual beasts was at the peak Heaven realm.
"Sister, this fight is very dangerous, we better get out of here" Xie Ling said.
"No, I still want to watch their fight, after all, we might be able to take advantage of this fight" said Xie Long.
Meanwhile.
The fight between a pair of blackish-red birds against a pack of wolves was fierce, although outnumbered, but both birds were greatly benefited by the position.
The two of them were spiritual beasts that controlled the air, whereas the opponents they faced could not fly, so it was very easy for the two birds to launch their attacks, either, more than half of the wolves have been killed.
Even so, the strength of the wolves was also not to be underestimated, although they could not fly, but the attack of spiritual energy they launched, was enough to overwhelm the two birds.
Dhuarr!
A powerful explosion occurred when the two birds fired a blackish-red fireball at the wolves, the air around the fight immediately turned hot, not even a few wolves that they managed to kill.
"Very incredible fire power" muttered Xie Long.
***
Half an hour passed, the fierce fight between the two types of spiritual animals ended and was won by the pair of birds, however, both of them were also severely injured and had lost a lot of energy, too, even flying is difficult.
"Ling'er, this is our chance!" xie Long said, then grabbed his sword and prepared to attack the two birds.
As with the older brother, Xie Ling also did the same and darted forward to attack the two birds, but when they were in front of him, they were, the two birds were silent and did nothing.
In addition to giving no resistance, the two birds also bowed their heads to the twins, as if they both seemed resigned to accepting their destiny to die at the hands of the twins.
However, the incident actually made the intention of the twins disappear just like that, and somehow, they both suddenly felt like they had known the two birds for a long time.
"What's this about? Why does my heart refuse to kill them?"
Otherside.
Xie Ling who also felt the same way, preferred to keep her sword, then she ventured to approach one of the birds, and with a hint of hesitation, she said, he tried to touch the bird's head.
"Ling'er, no!"
Xie Long tried to stop his sister but it was too late, because right now, Xie Ling's palm had already touched the bird's head and instantly, too, in the sky appeared a magic circle that emitted light until it enveloped their bodies.
"Th-this..."
Although he had yet to understand what was really happening, Xie Long was very confident that what he was witnessing right now was, the process to execute a soul contract between a cultivator and a spiritual beast.
"It's really strange, why would Xie Ling be able to do a soul contract with him?"
Out of curiosity, Xie Long then tried to do the same as his sister did, and sure enough, when his palm touched the head of the bird, the same incident also happened to him.
"Good, they finally met again after several years apart" muttered Lin Feng who had been watching his two children.
"Mister's plan is indeed extraordinary, I myself did not expect if you have thought about the future of his son so far" he continued.
The two birds were birds that had hatched from the pair of Beast eggs that Lin Feng had obtained during the auction in the second dimension, at the time when the two eggs were hatching, Lin Feng directly tied the souls of the two birds with the blood of Xie Long and Xie Ling who were then still small.
After that, Lin Feng deliberately released the two birds so that they could grow by themselves, nor did he worry if the two birds chose another Master, either, for he has bound their souls with the blood of his son.
In other words, the process of soul contract between the twins and a pair of birds has been established for a long time, and it is only a matter of time until the process can really be completed, so it is very natural that the twins feel familiar with the two Phoenix birds.
