Xiao Wu was extraordinarily compliant, her fair cheeks tinged with pink and carrying a hint of anticipation as she gently poked Ye Qiu's little tadpole with the tip of her index finger.

The next instant!

The little tadpole at the center of the yellow soul ring on Ye Qiu's hand suddenly dissolved and spread toward Xiao Wu's fingertip. A warm, comfortable sensation washed over her, and Xiao Wu's long eyelashes fluttered lightly.

In the blink of an eye, the black substance tightly wrapped around her entire arm, fitting snugly against it.

Ye Qiu softly reminded her, "Don't resist!"

"Mm!"

Xiao Wu nodded slightly. She had never intended to resist in the first place. At that moment, she felt as though she were bathing in warm sunlight, her entire body pleasantly warm.

As the black substance spread, their consciousnesses linked together once again. After looking through Xiao Wu's recent memories, Ye Qiu's mouth twitched slightly.

No wonder she had been so sweet when he kissed her. She had stolen his stuff!

Xiao Wu's body trembled as she looked at Ye Qiu, a trace of shyness and fear appearing on her face.

By then, Xiao Wu's entire arm had already been clothed in black, followed by her shoulders, neck, and finally her body.

Without realizing it, Xiao Wu had already undergone Martial Soul Possession. Two soft pink rabbit ears stood high atop her head, gently swaying in the breeze, while a small white-and-pink tail emerged from her lower back.

Buzz! As the black substance closed in, the yellow soul ring on Ye Qiu's hand lit up, and the yellow soul ring beneath Xiao Wu's feet lit up as well. They seemed to echo one another, creating some kind of strange resonance.

After only a few breaths, the black substance slowly gathered back into Ye Qiu's palm, and Xiao Wu's pretty face was once more exposed to the cool evening breeze.

Xiao Wu could not help shivering. She felt as if someone had seen her completely naked, while the traits brought on by her Martial Soul Possession slowly faded away.

When the black substance gathered again in Ye Qiu's hand and turned back into the shape of a little tadpole, it immediately began to transform. Joy appeared on Ye Qiu's face. "Huh? Ye Qiu, why did your little tadpole change shape? Is it broken?"

Bending over, Xiao Wu stared curiously at the little tadpole in Ye Qiu's hand.

Ye Qiu shot her an annoyed look.

"This is my Martial Soul. How could a Martial Soul break? You silly rabbit."

"Ah—A rabbit!"

Rather than reacting to Ye Qiu's scolding, Xiao Wu let out a startled cry as she stared at his palm.

The black-and-white little tadpole in Ye Qiu's hand had unknowingly transformed into an extremely tiny rabbit, with white ears and a black body.

"So cute! Ye Qiu, your Martial Soul turned into a bunny."

A look of wonder appeared on Xiao Wu's face. She bent over, raised a hand, and poked the little rabbit's white ear.

"Yes, it turned into a rabbit."

Ye Qiu smiled. Before long, the little white rabbit changed back into a little tadpole, though an imprint of a rabbit seemed to have been left at the center of the yellow soul ring.

This was the first soul skill Ye Qiu had obtained.

It was a further enhancement of Venom's replication ability, one better suited to the constitution of soul masters on the Douluo Continent! His first soul skill: All Things in Nature!

The Douluo Continent was a world of Martial Souls. Martial Souls were needed to use soul skills, and the continent possessed countless varieties of them.

Relying on Venom alone, Ye Qiu found it difficult to locate soul skills that suited him perfectly for replication.

But with this soul skill, things were different.

It allowed Ye Qiu to mimic anyone's Martial Soul.

He could then replicate the soul skills stored within the other party's soul rings and imprint them onto his own soul rings. This greatly reduced the restrictions on replicating soul skills.

However, Ye Qiu's first soul skill also had its limitations.

He could not mimic other people's Martial Souls without limit.

For every additional soul ring, he could mimic one additional Martial Soul.

Furthermore, Martial Souls involved the soul level of a soul master. When replicating another person's Martial Soul, the other person had to be willing.

Once the replication was complete and Venom left behind the other party's imprint, it could no longer be changed.

Therefore, he had to be extremely careful when choosing.

In addition, if Ye Qiu established a connection with a Titled Douluo at this point,

he could only use that person's first soul skill.

In other words, even if he possessed the other party's Martial Soul and had replicated their soul skills, he still could not use soul skills that exceeded his own number of soul rings.

Even so, it was enough to make Ye Qiu ecstatic.

Did that not mean

he could become a hexagonal warrior?! He could handle any role—the Control System, the Agility Attack System, even the Support System.

But what excited Ye Qiu the most

was the upper limit of the strength he could attain!

If he could become a god, and the other people he replicated also became gods, could he then replicate the power of the Gods?

At that point... battles between Gods would no longer rely on Martial Souls! If it succeeded, how heaven-defying would that be?!

Of course, the prerequisite was that those he replicated possessed the potential to become gods! Thus, Ye Qiu had to carefully consider his targets for replication.

Looking across the Douluo Continent,

given that he had come here, the ones certain to become gods were Bibi Dong and her daughter. Bibi Dong was already undergoing a Godly Trial, while Qian Renxue was the only one currently qualified to accept the Angel Godhood Trial as a member of the Qian Family bloodline! As for everyone else... that remained to be uncovered. Talent was important, but whether they could stay alive was even more important!

Beside him, Xiao Wu watched Ye Qiu's delighted expression, still somewhat dazed. She hugged her small body with both arms, her pretty face flushed red.

She tugged twice at Ye Qiu beside her and looked at him uncertainly. "Ye Qiu, why has your Martial Soul turned back into a little tadpole? And why do I feel like I've lost something?"

"Hmm?"

Ye Qiu put away his somewhat unrealistic thoughts. Turning to Xiao Wu, a strange grin appeared at the corner of his mouth. He grabbed one of her soft hands and teased, "You rogue rabbit, you're really crying thief! I'm the one who lost something, aren't I?!"

"Ah? I, I only..."

As if someone had stepped on her tail, Xiao Wu panicked and tried to pull her hand back, stammering without managing to say anything.

"What do you mean, 'only'? No wonder your little mouth was still sweet when I kissed you today!"

"Ah! Don't talk about that anymore! You're the rogue—"

With her face flushed crimson, Xiao Wu tried to cover Ye Qiu's mouth.

"Can't we just treat it as Sister Xiao Wu taking her payment in advance?! Don't say it anymore..."

"Hehe... Fine!"

Ye Qiu did not make things too difficult for her and released her little hand.

"Then I don't need to pay you anymore."

"What?!"

Having just pulled her hand back, Xiao Wu retreated two steps and rubbed it as she cried out. Her scarlet eyes widened, her delicate brows rose, and she snapped, "Why not?! Sister Xiao Wu only took two of your grass-flavored ones. You still owe Sister Xiao Wu three!"

"You stole my things, and you still think you're in the right?"

Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow.

"I... You weren't at the academy then. I wanted to tell you when you came back, but I woke you up. Then you... you did that to me."

Xiao Wu's face burned red. Her eyes shimmered as she looked at Ye Qiu, filled with both shame and indignation.

Wishing everyone a happy life!
