A New Era for the Soul Spirit System

Ah Yin was so stunned by Ye Kai's words that her entire grass body felt dazed.

To the natives of Douluo Continent, those words were utterly heretical.

The same was true for Soul Beasts.

Since ancient times, because of Soul Rings, Soul Beasts and humans had been natural enemies. You hunted me for Soul Rings, and I killed you to keep myself alive.

And now, a Great Saint who pitied Soul Beasts had actually appeared among humans?

But Ye Kai, an outsider, did not see things that way.

In his previous life, he had raised more than one dog and cat, treating every one of them as family, companions, and friends.

Though they could sometimes be aloof and sometimes wreck the house, feelings still formed in the end.

Even after coming to the distorted system of Douluo Continent, Ye Kai found it difficult to cast off the mindset he had developed in his previous life.

If Huo Gua had not existed, Ye Kai might have abandoned his former beliefs because this was a world where strength reigned supreme and those without strength were nothing but ants.

But Huo Gua, ten thousand years in the future, had already provided an answer—a viable path.

Though the future of that path remained unclear, and though it was rebellious for the current Douluo Continent,

to Ye Kai, it was a source of comfort, an emotional and spiritual anchor.

It let Ye Kai know that he had not yet been completely assimilated by this twisted world.

Besides, there were so many girls he liked here. If he did not change some tragedies and lingering regrets, would this trip through time not have been for nothing?

You make it sound so noble, but what about your future? Without sufficient strength, how will you survive in this world? Ah Yin continued asking.

That involves another technique. I call it a Soul Spirit. It was developed by a great being, and I happened to obtain it.

Its principle is similar to sacrifice, but an external force preserves the Soul Beast's soul and consciousness, integrating them into the sacrificed person's Sea of Consciousness.

That means the Soul Beast remains alive. It can control the Soul Ring and Soul Skills it produces, and it can fight independently of the sacrificed person and unleash its own Soul Skills.

And that external force is Spiritual Power. Through a third party's Spiritual Power, one enters the Soul Beast's Spiritual World and combines its soul imprint, spiritual origin, a portion of its purest Soul Power, and the mysterious energy contained within its innate bloodline. Then, through a unique contract, it forms an agreement with a Soul Master, preserving the Soul Beast's soul and consciousness within the Soul Master's Sea of Consciousness.

The prerequisite for signing this contract is that both sides must be completely willing. Neither can harbor even the slightest dissatisfaction or resistance, or the contract will fail. At best, both parties will be weakened; at worst, both will die together.

Of course, that depends on the physical condition of both sides when they sign the contract.

Ye Kai put forth the concept of Soul Spirits, while the Soul Spirit Contract was available in the System Mall for five hundred thousand Healer Points.

... Ah Yin did not know what to say at that moment.

This child before her actually intended to establish an entirely new cultivation system on his own.

Though he had not developed this technique himself, daring to defy the world and promote a new system was enough to move anyone with the courage and sincerity behind it.

As the first Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast I've encountered, are you willing to witness the arrival of a new era with me? Ye Kai finally revealed his true purpose and extended an invitation to Ah Yin.

...In that case, I'll accompany you and witness this new era you speak of.

This was not only for the sake of the Soul Beasts' future; it was also a sign of her trust in Ye Kai.

Ah Yin had witnessed everything Ye Kai had done along the way. He had helped her recover, and even though her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone was already in his hands, he had not absorbed it. Even if he absorbed it now, she would have been powerless to stop him.

He was not only kind to commoners but also extremely friendly toward Soul Beasts. She had even seen Ye Kai treat a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Though that Soul Beast had been beaten half to death after being healed, was that not because it had attacked the doctor right after being treated?

The two guards beat it half to death and threw it out. Then Ye Kai picked it back up and earned another round of Healer Points from it.

By the way, you should still be able to transform again, right? How much longer will it take? Ye Kai asked.

It will still take a long time. If I can remain by your side, I should recover faster, Ah Yin said after sensing her condition, her tone slightly complicated.

As for why it was complicated, it certainly was not because she was lusting after his body.

Staying by my side will make you recover faster? Ye Kai was somewhat puzzled. Could it be that he unconsciously emitted Life Aura all the time?

But Life Energy was constantly repairing the minor damage his body sustained from cultivation, so perhaps that really was the case.

Since Ah Yin was not very large in her current form anyway, and the Gravity Amulet would not affect her, she could simply stay with him.

With that thought, Ye Kai dug Ah Yin out of the pot, gently washed the soil from her roots with warm water, and placed her against his chest. Completely failing to notice Ah Yin trembling, he said, Then good night~

With that, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Ah Yin was startled by Ye Kai's actions. Though she was currently in her original form, she had long since taken human form, so she had different sensations regarding parts of her body.

And Ye Kai's actions just now had been no different from touching her...

Now someone in the room could not fall asleep, though no one would say who.

The next morning, Ye Kai went through his usual Morning Exercise. After breakfast, he called the others and continued toward Heaven Dou City.

The thought of seeing Little Angel soon made Ye Kai slightly excited, and even his pace quickened.

What had originally been three days of travel was forcibly shortened by an entire day. They arrived at Heaven Dou City on the second evening.

However, it was obviously unrealistic to seek out Little Angel at this hour, so they stayed the night at the Spirit Hall's temple in Heaven Dou City. Ye Kai also took the opportunity to report his itinerary before setting out again the next day.
