Chapter 27: The Slap Method of Accepting a Disciple

After leaving the second disciple's body, Bai Yuan turned his head and glanced at the big tree; he could now clearly sense the fear inside Mu Wu's heart.

She was afraid, afraid of being implicated.

"Mu Wu, rest assured, after this I will definitely give you a safe cultivation environment." Bai Yuan gently stroked the big tree and walked toward the dim forest.

"System, exchange for Transforming Pill." Bai Yuan said.

"Ding! Exchange successful."

Bai Yuan proceeded alone through the pitch-black forest.

This place is already deep within the Star Dou Great Forest; thousand-year Soul Beasts are everywhere, and occasionally even ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts appear.

These are powerful Soul Beasts that pose a certain threat even to Bai Yuan now; some ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts with strong bloodlines can match ordinary Soul Beasts of tens of thousands of years.

Bai Yuan proceeded cautiously.

He watched as Soul Beasts occasionally ran past him, heading deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest, his eyes flickering.

Finally, Bai Yuan fixed his gaze on a white fox; it was a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast, resembling a snow fox in appearance but reaching three meters in length, with a crescent mark on its forehead.

Silver Moon Fox!

At this moment, the Silver Moon Fox was drenched in blood, its pure white fur stained, its hind thigh missing a leg, continuously dripping blood.

It's obvious this is an unlucky Soul Beast caught in the aftermath of a battle between a Title Douluo and a fierce beast.

Nevertheless, in order to survive, the Silver Moon Fox desperately fled there, but Bai Yuan clearly knew it could not survive.

Because the world of Soul Beasts is one of survival of the fittest, even if the Silver Moon Fox escaped this calamity, it would inevitably be devoured by other Soul Beasts.

Bai Yuan's figure flitted through the forest.

Silently, Bai Yuan, moving faster, circled to the inevitable path ahead of the Silver Moon Fox's escape route.

Bai Yuan waited silently in the treetops; the dense leaves concealed his figure, and through his aura he sensed the ten-thousand-year Silver Moon Fox rapidly approaching.

A faint smell of blood also entered Bai Yuan's nostrils, a nauseating odor.

Bai Yuan remained motionless, crouched on the tree trunk, waiting silently.

As time passed, the Silver Moon Fox's running grew louder, and the blood smell lingering at Bai Yuan's nostrils became intensely strong.

Suddenly, Bai Yuan formed hand seals.

"Earth Spirit Formation!"

"Wood Spirit Formation!"

After becoming an Intermediate Formation Master, for him these elementary formations—Earth Spirit Formation and Wood Spirit Formation—are nothing more than something he can pull out effortlessly, needing hardly any preparation time.

A huge pit appeared beneath the ten-thousand-year Silver Moon Fox's feet, causing it, lacking any leverage, to fall straight down and smash a large hole in the pit wall.

The Silver Moon Fox startled, exerted force with its three legs, and tried to jump out.

But at that moment, vines began to sprout from the pit wall.

The Silver Moon Fox's eyes flashed with ferocity; it swung its foreclaws, and in an instant its sharp claws sliced the vines—but it consequently fell back.

The Silver Moon Fox leapt again, but the opening above suddenly closed, accompanied by vines sprouting from the soil and lunging at it.

In such a cramped space, the Silver Moon Fox had nowhere to dodge and could only slash at the vines with all its strength.

But the severed vines piled up in the hole, further shrinking the Silver Moon Fox's range of movement.

This was a dead end; it could not break out.

"Bang!"

After chopping through the vines, the Silver Moon Fox slammed desperately into the sealed opening above.

Under this tremendous force, clods of earth loosened, but what was revealed to the Silver Moon Fox's eyes were layers upon layers of intertwining vines.

The Silver Moon Fox's eyes flashed with ferocity; the crescent on its brow burst with intense light, and a crescent slash shot out, directly cutting through the layers of vines inside and out.

Unmindful of its fatigue, the Silver Moon Fox leapt out before the vines could regrow.

But before the Silver Moon Fox could rejoice, its three limbs were frozen, rendering it immobile.

"Profound Ice Formation!"

Among intermediate formations, this is a relatively low-level one; nevertheless, even with Bai Yuan's current cultivation, setting it up without materials is extremely difficult.

Were it not for his Formation Master knowledge having already reached the peak of the Intermediate Formation Master, it would be impossible to set it up successfully.

Yet this Profound Ice Formation works excellently, easily controlling this Soul Beast that has expended too much energy and suffered grave injuries.

Bai Yuan slowly stepped out from the shadows.

The Silver Moon Fox immediately let out a series of low growls.

This sound was a threat, also revealing its inner fear.

"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Bai Yuan asked.

The Silver Moon Fox continued to growl.

Bai Yuan sighed, "Poor thing, after cultivating for ten thousand years it still hasn't fully awakened its spiritual wisdom."

Bai Yuan slowly walked toward the Silver Moon Fox.

The Silver Moon Fox grew ever more fearful, its growls becoming more frequent.

But just then, a silver light flashed above its head, and a crescent blade about a zhang long shot toward Bai Yuan.

This was the desperate last strike of a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast; ordinary Soul Kings would not dare clash head-on with it, but Bai Yuan merely raised his hand, and ice walls appeared out of nowhere, blocking him.

"Boom boom boom!" Three ice walls exploded in succession, and the Silver Moon Fox completely lost its ability to resist.

Bai Yuan had no mood to chat with a Soul Beast whose spiritual wisdom was unawakened; he grabbed the Silver Moon Fox's head and fed it a Transforming Pill.

"Qiu'er, I hope your great fortune can bless my success in taking on a disciple." Bai Yuan murmured to himself.

Beside him, the Silver Moon Fox also successfully transformed, becoming a handsome man with fox ears and a fox tail, but lying on the ground with his limbs frozen in ice.

"What damned thing did this human make me eat?" the transformed Silver Moon Fox roared.

But the next moment, the Silver Moon Fox was dumbfounded?

He can speak?

The man lowered his head and looked at his naked body, feeling as if it were a dream.

According to legend, only a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast can speak human words, choose to retrain, and take human form—but now he actually can?

"Become my disciple!" Bai Yuan said.

The man stared and said: "Become a disciple? Disciple of what master?"

Bai Yuan said: "I see you have extraordinary talent; not only did I heal your injuries, but I also fully awakened your spiritual wisdom and completed your transformation—shouldn't you become my disciple?"

The man stared again, then sneered: "You, a despicable person, actually want me to become your disciple? No way!"

Smack!

Bai Yuan slapped him right away; I don't know if he always hits people like that, but now whenever something happens, it's just a slap.

This is also Bai Yuan's newly invented method of accepting disciples.

Slap disciple-taking method.

The man's body stiffened, and he angrily shouted: "Despicable human, I'll fight you to the death!"

Smack!

"Despicable human, if you have the guts, let me go!"

Smack!

"Despicable human…"

Smack!

……

"Master, master, I was wrong, wrong." The man's handsome face became swollen and red, looking just like a pig's head.

Bai Yuan raised his brows and said: "You're not sincere enough."

Smack!

"Master, master, I am truly sincere."

Smack!

"Master, master, I truly am sincere!"

Smack!
