Douluo: Fiery Chains of the Soul, Sealing All Gods

Su Yuntao repeated the poem Su Han had recited: "Chains seal the galaxy for ninety thousand miles; space imprisons all, and the gods perish." His voice carried barely concealed excitement.

Then he said, "Little Han, these verses are magnificent and domineering. I hope that one day, you can achieve the extraordinary and display grand ambitions, just as the scene described in this poem."

Sisi was equally astonished and praised him. "I never expected Little Han to possess such overflowing talent.

This is the dream and pursuit one should hold in the prime of youth.

Come, let us raise our cups together and toast to Little Han's grand dream and brilliant future!"

The three raised their cups and drank them dry, their joy evident.

For Su Han, this was the happiest day of both his lives, as though heaven itself had bestowed a blessing upon him.

At that moment, an indescribable surge of pride welled up in Su Han's heart. It was as if he had already become the protagonist of Douluo Continent, the center of everyone's attention. The excitement and joy overwhelmed him, and he drunkenly collapsed to the ground.

Seeing Su Han lying on the ground drunk, Sisi turned to Su Yuntao and said gently, "Yuntao, I truly envy you for having such a gifted younger brother."

Su Yuntao gathered courage unlike any he had ever summoned before and answered sincerely, "Sisi, would you be willing to become Little Han's future sister-in-law?"

A teasing gleam flashed through Sisi's eyes as she said softly, "That will depend on how you perform in the future.

It is getting late. I should take my leave. You should also take Little Han home and look after him properly."

Su Yuntao's heart raced wildly, and he could barely conceal his excitement. He said firmly, "Sisi, does that mean you are willing to give me this chance? Please believe me. I will give it my all and hope to marry you as soon as possible."

A faint smile appeared on Sisi's lips. As she turned away, she left him with a promise over her shoulder. "All right. I will await good news."

With that, Sisi slowly departed, her figure gradually blurring in Su Yuntao's sight until she disappeared completely.

In an office that was simply decorated yet dignified, an elderly man spoke to the man seated across from him. "Xiao Gang, have you heard?

A genius awakened a Martial Soul in Nuoding City today."

The man called Xiao Gang immediately had curiosity flash in his eyes as he eagerly replied, "Oh? What was his innate aptitude? And what Martial Soul did he possess?"

The old man wore a confident smile. "I knew you would be interested.

That boy has Innate level 8 soul power. More importantly, his Martial Soul is an extremely rare Mutated Chain."

The middle-aged man's eyes shone even brighter, and his tone carried a trace of amazement. "Innate Level 8, along with a mutated Chain Martial Soul?

Does his Martial Soul have any distinctive traits?"

The old man gently stroked his graying beard and smiled. "I do not know much about the Martial Soul's specific traits either. I fear you will have to investigate it yourself.

It is said that this youth is an orphan whom Spirit Hall Deacon Su Yuntao happened to discover and bring back during one of his outings.

However, when the boy awakened his Martial Soul, he did not choose to join Spirit Hall."

Xiao Gang nodded lightly, a thoughtful gleam flashing in his eyes. "He truly is an exceptionally intelligent child.

At that moment, the hot blood within the middle-aged man began to boil, and his tranquil, decadent life was ignited once more."

The next morning, Su Han slowly opened his eyes only after dawn had begun to break. His mouth was dry, and he felt rather uncomfortable.

He immediately got up, walked over to the water ladle, scooped up a ladleful of cool water, and drank it in one gulp. Only then did he feel much better.

A bitter smile appeared on Su Han's lips as he muttered to himself, "It seems I need to drink in moderation from now on. I did not even know how I got back this time. That was far too careless."

After saying that, he lightly shook his head, washed up, tidied himself, and ate a simple meal.

After eating, he was preparing to cultivate when he suddenly heard repeated knocking at the courtyard gate.

Su Han was somewhat puzzled, but after opening the gate, he found a middle-aged man around forty years old standing before him.

The man had a crew cut, a weathered face, and an untrimmed, somewhat messy beard, yet he wore a black brocade robe.

With a smile, he slowly asked, "Hello. Are you Su Han?"

Su Han could not help but feel shocked.

He stared at the man before him in disbelief. Was this not the theoretical Master, Yu Xiaogang?

Why had he suddenly come here?

Su Han was filled with doubts, but after thinking it over, he understood the reason.

It had to be because news of his mutated Martial Soul and Innate level 8 aptitude had spread throughout Nuoding City, drawing Yu Xiaogang's attention and intense interest.

Besides, judging from the timeline Brother Tao had told him about, he was now two years older than that "Bie San." Bie San was probably still secretly cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Su Han said, "That is me. May I ask what you need?"

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang smiled warmly. "Are we going to stand here and talk?"

Su Han immediately led Yu Xiaogang into the courtyard and offered him a bowl of clear, cool water as a gesture of courtesy.

Yu Xiaogang took a light sip and nodded slightly. With a probing look in his eyes, he said:

"Su Han, I heard that your Martial Soul is a rare mutated Martial Soul. May I take a look?"

Su Han considered it silently. After weighing the matter, he ultimately decided to show it to Yu Xiaogang.

After all, Yu Xiaogang had obtained so much information from Spirit Hall. His understanding of the various kinds of soul beasts far surpassed that of ordinary Soul Masters, especially when it came to precious and rare ones.

As for Yu Xiaogang's character, Su Han did not care overly much. In this world where strength reigned supreme, the best option was to make use of whoever could be useful to him.

He was currently short on resources. Pretending to be lofty and aloof would only be foolish.

Su Han did not think that simply because he had watched that Douluo animation, he could properly choose a set of suitable soul rings for himself.

Flying a Boeing airplane was simple too, right? If you watched it once, could you assemble one yourself? Anyone could talk big. This was a real world, after all, and there were countless kinds of soul beasts.

As long as this guy does not study Blue Silver Grass, he should still be reliable.

Thus, Su Han solemnly summoned his Martial Soul—the Fiery Chains of the Soul. A golden chain as thick as a finger appeared in his hand, covered in burning flames and gleaming brightly.

Yu Xiaogang's pupils could not help but constrict. He said in a deep voice, "This is a Benignly Mutated Tool Martial Soul. It possesses a Fire attribute, while the chain's own Gold attribute was skillfully stimulated during the mutation, resulting in this dazzling golden color."

After speaking, Yu Xiaogang calmed himself slightly before instructing, "All right, Su Han. You may withdraw your Martial Soul now."

Hearing this, Su Han recalled his Martial Soul into his body, though he silently thought, *This guy was not entirely correct.

My Martial Soul also possesses a hidden Space attribute, but I cannot tell Yu Xiaogang that.*

Yu Xiaogang continued, "Su Han, your Martial Soul is an exceptionally rare Mutated Chain. Its quality has already reached the ranks of Top-tier Martial Souls.

You must carefully consider your future path as a Soul Master, because a wrong choice will have no small impact on your future achievements."

Su Han agreed strongly with Yu Xiaogang's words. He nodded slightly and asked, "Then in your opinion, what path should I choose?"

Yu Xiaogang rose to his feet, confidence and pride evident in his expression. "Su Han, as a top-tier Mutated Chain, your Martial Soul is undoubtedly best suited for the Control type.

There are many Control type Martial Souls on the continent, but most are vine-type. They have a significant weakness: they fear elements such as fire, ice, and lightning, as well as genuine physical Tool Martial Souls such as blades, swords, spears, and staves.

When both sides are at the same realm and have comparable soul ring configurations, vine-type control Soul Masters often struggle to gain the upper hand.

Your Fiery Chains of the Soul Martial Soul, however, not only possesses a Fire Attribute but also gains the physical offensive and defensive capabilities of a Gold attribute through mutation. It is truly unique among Control type Martial Souls on the continent. With the same realm and configuration, absolutely no one will be able to break your control. That is your advantage."

As Su Han listened to Yu Xiaogang's analysis, he thought to himself, It seems this guy's mind is still clear as long as he is not researching plant types.

If you like it, please give me a vote.

"Then may I ask what type of soul beast would be most suitable for my first soul ring?"

Su Han asked respectfully in a probing tone.

After hearing this, Yu Xiaogang pondered briefly before replying, "Soul beasts with Gold or Fire attributes can both be considered. However, if you seek ultimate perfection, then it must be a rare and precious soul beast.

For example, the Crimson Flame Fire Dragon. Not only does it possess incomparably intense Fire Attribute power, it also possesses astonishing strength.

If you were to obtain its soul ring, you would certainly inherit these extraordinary traits.

Furthermore, your Martial Soul has many forms. It can become a sharp spear or transform into a flexible long whip.

As for a more detailed plan, I will need to return and carefully consult the texts before conducting further research."

Su Han expressed his gratitude. "Then I will have to trouble you. May I follow you tomorrow to study the relevant theoretical knowledge?"

Yu Xiaogang nodded gladly, a warm smile on his face. "Of course. I will come pick you up tomorrow. At the same time, I will begin searching for a set of theoretical soul beasts most suited to your Martial Soul."

Su Han said, "Thank you for your generous assistance. I have not yet asked for your name."

A trace of bitterness flashed across Yu Xiaogang's face as he said softly, "As the years have passed, I have already forgotten my own given name. Everyone calls me 'Master.' You may call me that as well."

Su Han silently thought, If I did not know his background so well, I might really end up recognizing him as my father like Tang San did.

"All right, Master."

Yu Xiaogang nodded in satisfaction and was about to leave. He paused at the gate, turned back, and said, "Little Han, I have a Meditation Method here that is suitable for you. It will allow you to cultivate and use Soul Power with greater ease."

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang took out a small booklet.

There is such a good thing? Su Han did not put on airs. What he used was merely common stuff found throughout the continent, while Yu Xiaogang used only Spirit Hall's top-quality goods.

He stepped forward, accepted the booklet, and said to Yu Xiaogang, "A gift from an elder should not be refused. Thank you, Master."

Yu Xiaogang smiled approvingly. "What a clever child." Then, with a long-lost smile on his face, he gradually walked away.

Su Han closed the courtyard gate and immediately returned to his room, looking at the Meditation Method Yu Xiaogang had given him.
