Abyssal Golden Lion, Taking Golden Crocodile as Master

"Ding. Martial soul awakening detected. The God-Making System has been activated. This system aims to help the host reach the pinnacle of this plane by issuing tasks." A hollow mechanical voice rang out in Su He's mind. He was delighted to hear it. The standard equipment for a transmigrator had indeed not arrived late!

"The Beginner's Gift Pack has been delivered. It contains one Martial Soul Evolution opportunity, one Primordial Body Sculpting Pill, one Three Thousand Lightning Movements movement technique combat skill, and one designated Immortal Herb Gift Box." The system's emotionless voice continued. "Would the host like to view the status panel?"

"Yes!" Su He answered in his mind without hesitation.

Name: Su He

Age: 6

Martial Soul: Abyssal Mighty Lion (about to awaken)

Innate Soul Power: 9.5

Skills: Three Thousand Lightning Movements

Items: Primordial Body Sculpting Pill ×1, designated Immortal Herb Gift Box ×1

It seems my martial soul didn't inherit Grandfather's Blazing Lion, but mutated and lost its fire attribute. Su He pondered. System, what are the characteristics of my Abyssal Mighty Lion martial soul?

"The Abyssal Mighty Lion martial soul surpasses the Blazing Lion in physical strength. Upon becoming a Soul King, it will gain a special innate soul skill: Abyssal Counterattack.

When in poor condition and with soul power below ten percent, it gains the Fight with Your Back to the Wall state for five minutes.

Attack power, defense, and speed are doubled. Cooldown: one week.

However, it has lost its ability to wield fire. It is a top-tier Beast Martial Soul, on the same level as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. The host may use the Martial Soul Evolution opportunity to upgrade the martial soul." The system's voice rang out again.

Use the Martial Soul Evolution opportunity, Su He said excitedly in his mind.

"Evolution selection begins.

Evolution Path 1: Red Lotus Lion

Description: An evolution path that grants Ultimate Fire. It can control Red Lotus Karmic Fire to incinerate enemies and is equal to the Abyssal Mighty Lion in physical strength.

Evolution Path 2: Abyssal Golden Lion

Description: An evolution path that greatly enhances physical qualities. The Abyssal Golden Lion, which possesses the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, has an indestructible body, incomparably sharp claws and fangs, and boundless strength. It also possesses an innate affinity for the Geng Metal Attribute. It inherits the Abyssal Mighty Lion's innate skill and is a super beast capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.

System, I choose Evolution Path 2. After a brief moment of consideration, Su He had already made his choice. The Red Lotus Lion's flames were certainly powerful, but the Abyssal Golden Lion, whose physique had reached the extreme, was clearly more in line with his expectations.

"Martial Soul Evolution complete." The system's voice fell silent, and Su He returned to reality.

At that moment, the power within Su He's body was finally drawn forth and fully activated by Mighty Lion Douluo's soul power. A mighty Golden Lion raised its head and roared toward the heavens, as if proclaiming the arrival of the king of beasts in a new era. At that instant, every Beast Soul Master in Spirit City whose soul power was not above Rank 70 felt their martial souls tremble. This was the natural suppression stemming from the quality of a martial soul. The evolved Abyssal Golden Lion could already be called the strongest martial soul below god-tier, without equal.

Qian Renxue, who was watching from the side, was so shocked that her mouth hung open. Even Mighty Lion Douluo, who had awakened Su He's martial soul, as well as Qian Daoliu and Radiant Feather Douluo beside him, could not help but feel astonished. Mighty Lion Douluo in particular could already sense that his grandson's martial soul surpassed his own Blazing Lion in quality, and his aged face was filled with smiles.

"Old Lion, your grandson's martial soul is extraordinary." Radiant Feather Douluo stepped forward and carefully examined the Abyssal Golden Lion.

"Of course. Little He is my grandson, so naturally his talent is exceptional." Mighty Lion Douluo spoke proudly. "Little He, let's test your soul power again." With that, he took out a Crystal Ball for testing soul power and had Su He place his hand on it. The Crystal Ball immediately burst into dazzling light. "Innate Full Soul Power!" Mighty Lion Douluo said joyfully.

It seems the Martial Soul Evolution made up for my 9.5 levels of Innate Soul Power, Su He thought.

"It really is Innate Full Soul Power. Heaven truly favors Spirit Hall!" Qian Daoliu was also extremely pleased. First there was Little Angel with innate Rank 20 soul power, then there was this little lion with Innate Full Soul Power. For the next several decades, what could Spirit Hall possibly lack?

"Hehe, even though you have Innate Full Soul Power, Little He, you're still not as amazing as me!" Qian Renxue said mischievously. "But when we fight, your sister will go a little easy on you."

Su He smiled helplessly. Sister Xue'er always loved bullying him. Her competitive streak seemed inborn; she always wanted to surpass him in every aspect.

"Little He, sense the characteristics of your martial soul and tell the few of us about them, so we can plan out your future cultivation," Mighty Lion Douluo said seriously.

"You might as well leave the planning to me." At that moment, a vigorous voice came from not far away. The newcomer wore a crocodile-patterned robe embroidered with gold. It was none other than the Second Worship, Golden Crocodile Douluo, whose soul power had reached Rank 98. Within Spirit Hall, his status was transcendent, second only to the Great Enshrined, Qian Daoliu.

"Second Grandfather." Su He and Qian Renxue quickly rose and bowed. Mighty Lion Douluo and Radiant Feather Douluo beside them addressed the newcomer as Second Brother.

"Little He's martial soul is of the Golden-type and shares many similarities with my Golden Crocodile King. If he is entrusted to my instruction, Old Fourth, you should be at ease," Golden Crocodile Douluo said slowly.

"That would be excellent." In the end, the Great Enshrined made the final decision. "Then, Little Hezi, why don't you take Old Second as your master?"

Su He was more than willing. With Golden Crocodile Douluo guiding his cultivation, he would certainly avoid many detours. Moreover, among those with Golden-type Spirits, no one had more experience than Golden Crocodile Douluo when it came to cultivating one's vitality and blood. More importantly, having read the Original Work, Su He knew that Golden Crocodile was a Rank 98 Super Douluo with a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring. His strength stood at the peak below the three peerless powerhouses. With such a formidable teacher, it would not be an exaggeration to say Su He could swagger across Douluo Continent.

"This disciple greets Teacher." Su He respectfully performed the ceremony of taking a master.

"Good, very good! I never thought that in this life, I, Golden Crocodile, would have the chance to pass on my legacy." Golden Crocodile Douluo laughed heartily. He had no children and no descendants, so gaining such a gifted disciple made him incomparably happy.

"This thirty-thousand-year Dreadclaw Bear Left Arm Bone shall serve as your gift for taking me as your master. Absorb it once your physique is strong enough." Golden Crocodile raised a hand, and an earthen-yellow left arm bone appeared in his palm before he handed it to Su He. Golden Crocodile Douluo had obtained this soul bone in his early years, when he and others had slain a powerful Dreadclaw Bear while traveling the continent. However, Golden Crocodile had long since absorbed another left arm bone, so this was the perfect chance to put this soul bone to use by accepting a disciple.

"This disciple thanks Teacher." Such a gift was extraordinarily precious, and it showed just how highly Golden Crocodile valued this disciple. A thirty-thousand-year soul bone from an immensely powerful Dreadclaw Bear was priceless and impossible to buy outside.

"Big Brother, Old Fourth, Old Fifth, I'll take Little He to train first," Golden Crocodile said. "With Innate Full Soul Power, he can directly obtain his first spirit ring. There are too few suitable Soul Beasts in Soul Hunting Forest, so I'll take Little He to Star Dou Great Forest."

"Then we'll trouble Second Brother. This child is mischievous, so please discipline him strictly," Mighty Lion Douluo said with cupped hands.

"Naturally." With that, Golden Crocodile Douluo took Su He out of the great hall. As he left, Su He could still hear Qian Renxue calling after him reluctantly.

"You little brat, Little He! Don't forget your Sister Xue'er just because you're busy cultivating!"
