Soul Beast Clone

Soul Beast Clone

Inside the Awakening Array.

Li Chang'an studied the sword in his hand.

Without question, compared to his father's Sword Soul, this sword was far more exquisite in appearance.

The sword looked like a standard Eight-Sided Han Sword, except its blade was a jade-like green, its crystal-clear texture making it seem more like a work of art than a lethal weapon.

But the strangest part was the hilt.

The pattern on it looked exactly like a sinister Azure Serpent coiled around the entire hilt, with the end forming a snake head whose mouth was tightly shut. It was so lifelike that it seemed as if it would open its jaws in the next instant and choose someone to devour!

Such a strong sense of pressure!

This Martial Soul is definitely no ordinary thing!

It has to be a high-grade Martial Soul!

Could this child be from some ancient, powerful noble family?

After seeing his Martial Soul, the old man responsible for awakening Martial Souls was secretly shocked, and he subconsciously began checking the roster in his hand. Very soon, he learned about Li Chang'an's family background.

His father has a Sword Soul, and his mother has a Green Snake Soul... looks like a Martial Soul mutation.

And an extremely rare positive mutation at that, greatly raising the quality of his Martial Soul. What a lucky boy.

The old man sighed inwardly, then said, "Test your Innate Soul Power."

In this world, to judge whether a Martial Soul was good or bad, one only needed to look at Innate Soul Power. That was because the amount of Innate Soul Power was directly proportional to the quality of the Martial Soul. The higher the Innate Soul Power, the better the Martial Soul's quality!

For commoners, this was classified information, but for people of some status, it was no secret. It was common knowledge.

Li Chang'an silently walked over to the crystal ball and gently pressed his hand onto it. He only felt a suction force come from it, and the extra power that had appeared in his body after awakening his Martial Soul began to drain away.

Buzz!!

The crystal ball burst with radiance!

"Innate Full Soul Power!!!!"

The old man finally lost his composure.

When the other children saw this, they could not help revealing expressions of envy, jealousy, and resentment. Born into noble families, they understood all too well what Innate Soul Power represented.

It meant that as long as the guy in front of them did not die halfway, there was a high chance he could become the supreme existence among Soul Masters in the future—a Titled Douluo!!!

A talent who was highly likely to become a Titled Douluo in the future.

There was simply no way for the old man not to lose his composure.

After the awakening ceremony.

The news that a mutated Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power had appeared among this year's awakened noble children was immediately reported up level by level, finally appearing on the desk of the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire.

When he saw that among his subordinates there was a talent with Innate Full Soul Power, he immediately shouted, "Good!"

And he promptly arranged to summon this pillar of the nation. He intended to reward him well and draw him in.

Li Manor.

After Li Chang'an returned home, he shut himself in his room, lay down on the bed, and cast his consciousness to the other side... that wild, primeval Soul Beast Forest.

Inside a hidden stone cave.

Among the shattered eggshells, a small snake, emerald-green from head to tail, had originally been coiled within the shell as if sleeping, but it suddenly opened its amber beast eyes, its eyeballs darting around.

Li Chang'an controlled this young snake body and rose upright from within the eggshell. The inherited instincts belonging to a Soul Beast in his mind clearly told him his species—the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor!

I never expected that when my soul transmigrated into this world, it actually split in two.

One half became a human, while the other half attached itself to this egg and reincarnated as a Soul Beast.

And one of the top existences among Soul Beasts at that—the Azure Serpent Emperor!

In other people's eyes, my Martial Soul is a fusion of my father's Sword Soul and my mother's Green Snake Soul, but that actually isn't the case. The reason I was able to have such a perfect mutation is definitely because this half of my soul attached itself to a true Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor and was influenced by it.

I remember there was a Snake Lance Douluo in the Original Work. His Martial Soul was very special. While possessing the traits of a Weapon Soul, it also had the traits of a Beast Martial Soul. When he used his Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar, he even had two modes: Beast Soul Avatar and Weapon Soul True Body.

Judging by the information I obtained when it awakened, my Sword Soul should be about the same. When I reach my Seventh Soul Skill, I should also be able to use two modes: Sword Soul True Body and Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor True Body.

And since my Sword Soul is itself a Weapon Soul and can't undergo Martial Soul Possession, even if the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor itself is poisonous, it won't harm me. It can even absorb external toxins to strengthen its own poison... Dugu Bo, with all that poison in his body, would be insanely jealous, all right!

To him, those are lethal poisons, but to me, they are great supplements that enhance my Martial Soul's toxicity!

Wait! Maybe I can use this to build a connection with Dugu Bo and make plans for the Immortal Herbs... If necessary, taking him as my master or acknowledging him as my adoptive father or something isn't impossible. Or I could even be his granddaughter's husband. In the flash of a thought, Li Chang'an came up with many ideas.

"But the key right now is, what should I do with this Azure Serpent Emperor clone?"

"In this world, being a Soul Beast has no future. Not only do I need to be constantly wary of humans coveting my Soul Ring, but once I reach a hundred thousand years, I'll have to get struck by lightning anytime, anywhere. Worst of all, I'll never be able to become a god!"

"Why don't I first let this Soul Beast Clone work hard to level up and, when its age is a little higher, directly Sacrifice it to my main body? But I keep feeling like doing that would be such a loss."

"Damn it! If the path of Soul Beasts in this world hadn't been blocked, I could have taken both approaches at once, cultivating as both a human and a Soul Beast. Once I became a god, I would instantly possess Dual God Positions."

Li Chang'an felt that he was truly too unlucky. If he had transmigrated into a cultivation world, then he could cultivate immortality and cultivate as a demon at the same time, but in this world, he could only give up one side. It was truly a terrible loss.

In that case, wouldn't the advantage of having a clone be completely gone?

Should he simply go pledge himself to the Silver Dragon King?

No, no!

He immediately shook his head again. The Silver Dragon King herself could barely protect herself, and he was going to pledge himself to her? In the Original Work, he had not seen Di Tian and those fellows become gods either. It was clear that following a superior like that had no future.

But other than the Silver Dragon King, where else could help a Soul Beast break through and become a god?

In this world, if one wanted to become a god, one had to possess a god position. The problem was, where was he supposed to find a god position?

Wait!

Li Chang'an suddenly thought of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and of the pair of Ancient Water and Fire Dragon Kings who had fallen deep at the bottom of the pool... those two fellows' god positions should still be there, right?

If he could obtain those two fellows' god positions, then this Azure Serpent Emperor clone of his might not necessarily be unable to become a god.

It was just that if he wanted to obtain god positions, besides having to deal with Dugu Bo, there might not necessarily be any god positions at the bottom of that deep pool. There might not even be Soul Bones.

"Sigh, forget it. Obtaining god positions and all that is still too far away for the current me. I shouldn't bite off more than I can chew." Li Chang'an sighed, then opened his large mouth and began biting into the eggshell he had been born from.

"Crunch, crunch..."

These eggshells were good stuff. The moment they touched saliva, they melted into a certain liquid, making them the best nutritional substance for him in his early stage. His inherited instincts told him that eating the eggshells was his best choice.

After he had eaten all the eggshells.

A wave of drowsiness surged into his mind. Li Chang'an could not help yawning, then coiled up right there on the ground and fell into a deep sleep...
