Can the Soul Ring Be Matched?

The Soul Hunting Forest was filled with danger at every turn—attacks from Soul Beasts, as well as scams, fights, traps, and ambushes from other Soul Masters.

As for finding a good Soul Ring, for now, these theories were only Wang Xiao's own ideas.

Whether a Ten Year Six-Winged Jade Centipede Soul Ring could successfully match the Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel martial soul was still hard to say.

After all, one of Xiao Gang's ten core competitive theories of the Martial Soul World was still only a theory, not a practical report.

Nothing was certain. Soul Masters still had to try for themselves to get an answer.

Success and risk each accounted for half.

If it worked, one would soar to greatness; if it failed, one would explode and die or be crippled for life.

Judging from the original Douluo Dalu book, Master Yu had let Tang San try it himself.

First, Master Yu had frankly told Tang San that success and failure went hand in hand—it depended on whether he dared to try.

Tang San had hesitated and thought it over before finally making up his mind to give it a try.

The result was success.

At the time, Tang San had felt that with the Mysterious Heaven Skill backing him up, he should be able to handle such a risky undertaking.

Wang Xiao was not Tang San. Before actually succeeding, he could not claim with certainty that he would be able to absorb it successfully.

Still, Wang Xiao was not afraid. With his powerful Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart as support, nothing should go wrong.

Xiao Yan was clearly about to run out of steam and was racing toward him.

Wang Xiao had no choice but to act!

He immediately used the Lingbo Weibu Accelerated Version movement technique and vanished in a flash, appearing behind the Six-Winged Jade Centipede.

Then he leaped into the air, flipped like a carp, and used the Mizong Fist Accelerated Version to deliver a heavy punch to its head.

The force of Wang Xiao's punch was so great that the Six-Winged Jade Centipede lost its balance in midair and plunged downward.

It crashed straight into the ground, rolling over as broken branches scattered all around it.

Xiao Yan was startled and had no idea what had happened.

She quickly turned her head and caught sight of the astonishing scene. The Six-Winged Jade Centipede Soul Beast that had been chasing her had somehow fallen to the ground and was badly injured.

When she turned back to look at Wang Xiao, he had already vanished from where he had been standing.

This guy really is as cowardly as a mouse!

I thought he had some guts, standing there just now!

But the moment he saw me running toward him, he fled so fast that not even his shadow remained.

What a heartless bastard, abandoning someone to die.

Cold-blooded!

Heartless...

Crack!

Squeak, squeak, squeak~

Just then, Xiao Yan heard the Six-Winged Jade Centipede's miserable cries behind her again.

She hurriedly looked back, only for an even more shocking sight to unfold before her.

A boy was kneeling on one knee, holding a dagger. Its blade had already plunged into the Six-Winged Jade Centipede's head. The move was unbelievably cool.

Only then did she clearly see that the boy was none other than Wang Xiao.

He had moved so quickly that he had slain a Ten Year Soul Beast in the blink of an eye. It was far beyond her imagination.

When Wang Xiao pulled the dagger from the Six-Winged Jade Centipede Soul Beast's head, a white ring of light immediately emerged from its body and floated above its head. It was truly miraculous.

Wang Xiao's eyes lit up. As a transmigrator, this was his first time seeing what a Soul Beast's Soul Ring actually looked like. It was breathtakingly beautiful!

As far as he knew, every Soul Ring color represented the age of the Soul Beast.

White Soul Rings belonged to Soul Beasts over ten years old but under a hundred years old.

Only when a Soul Beast reached the hundred-year level would its Soul Ring turn yellow.

After that came purple for a thousand years, Ten Thousand Year Black, and Hundred Thousand Year Red.

As for Million Year, ten-million-year, and hundred-million-year Soul Beast Soul Rings, none had appeared on Douluo Continent yet.

The highest limit was only a Hundred Thousand Year Red Ring.

In other words, this Six-Winged Jade Centipede Soul Beast was over ten years old.

Its level was roughly equivalent to a Level Eleven Soul Master, so Wang Xiao could absorb it.

"Wow, Wang Xiao, you're amazing!" Seeing how formidable he was, Xiao Yan immediately came over to flatter him.

"You should be calling me Brother Xiao Xiao, shouldn't you?" Wang Xiao corrected her.

"Why should I? I'm much older than you!" Xiao Yan said unwillingly.

Wang Xiao said disdainfully, "Xiao Yan, I've realized that you're even more wooden-headed than a block of wood!"

"Don't you know that the strong are respected in this world?"

"Plenty of old grandpas and grandmas have to respectfully address Soul Masters as Master, sir, or Your Eminence. How much older than me are you, really?"

"If you don't accept that, then let's have a fight and see who's stronger. How about it?"

"Hmph!" Xiao Yan immediately pursed her lips. "I only have a healing-type Tool Spirit. How could I compare with your offensive martial soul?"

"If I fought you, there's no question you'd have the upper hand."

Wang Xiao asked, "Oh? But which eye saw me use my martial soul?"

"Besides, I don't even have a Soul Ring yet. How could I use Soul Skills? Other than a little Soul Power, where would I get any Soul Skills?"

That was true!

He doesn't even have a Soul Ring. Where would he get Soul Skills?

With only that bit of Soul Power, he shouldn't have been able to defeat such a tough Ten Year Six-Winged Jade Centipede Soul Beast.

And I didn't see him release his martial soul just now!

Could his martial soul be hidden?

Wang Xiao suddenly remembered that Xiao Gang had said in the original book that if a Soul Beast's Soul Ring was not absorbed immediately after appearing, it would automatically dissipate within an hour.

That meant all his efforts would be wasted, so he had to absorb it quickly.

"What a pity. It's a Beast Martial Soul, so it doesn't match my Nine-Leaf Red Lotus Martial Soul at all. If your martial soul were a Beast Martial Soul or a Tool Spirit, you could absorb it," Xiao Yan sighed as she spoke to him.

Although Xiao Yan's theory completely fell outside the new theoretical framework of one of Yu Xiaogang's ten core competitive theories of the Martial Soul World.

It had to be said that this Six-Winged Jade Centipede Soul Beast truly was unsuitable for her Nine-Leaf Red Lotus Martial Soul.

Besides, she had not delivered the finishing blow to this Soul Beast, making it even less appropriate for her to absorb it.

Moreover, Wang Xiao would never let her absorb it. He immediately sat down cross-legged in front of the Six-Winged Jade Centipede Soul Beast, then looked back at Xiao Yan. "Stand guard for me. Later, I can help you surround and kill a Hundred Year Soul Beast for your First Soul Ring. How about that?"

"A Hundred Year Soul Beast?" Xiao Yan could hardly believe she had heard correctly.

"Brother Xiao Xiao, don't lie to me. A Hundred Year Soul Beast Soul Ring is certainly good, but Hundred Year Soul Beasts aren't nearly as easy to kill as Ten Year Soul Beasts!"

"If things go wrong, we might even lose our lives... both of us."

Although she was only twelve, she knew that absorbing the First Soul Ring was extremely important for a Soul Master.

Wang Xiao could not be bothered to waste words with her. He immediately settled into meditation in front of the Six-Winged Jade Centipede Soul Beast.

Then he extended his right hand. In his view, the Six-Winged Jade Centipede was venomous, making it quite compatible with the Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel martial soul.

He intended to absorb its Soul Ring into that martial soul.

He immediately activated his Soul Power and released his martial soul.

Before long, the Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel martial soul slowly emerged in his palm.

Its body was pitch-black, as were its six pairs of wings.

The tiny body of the Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel martial soul radiated an aura of death. Even Wang Xiao himself could feel the oppressive atmosphere it brought.

He felt that this martial soul of his was somewhat unusual—perhaps even terrifying.

It was completely different from his other Twelve-Winged Holy Angel martial soul.

That one made him feel warmth and light.

This Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel martial soul was the opposite. What it displayed was coldness, darkness, and terror.

Wang Xiao was not afraid. Since the system had allowed them to exist within his body and become his martial souls, there had to be a reason for their existence. He did not need to worry about whether they were safe or not.

Xiao Yan was also sensible enough to retreat to the side.

She did not disturb him as he absorbed the Soul Ring and willingly took on the duty of guarding him.

Come. You will become my First Soul Ring.

Wang Xiao began meditating, trying to draw the Ten Year Soul Ring over and absorb it into the Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel martial soul.

But after quite a while, he still did not succeed.

The Six-Winged Jade Centipede Soul Ring was not drawn toward him. Instead, it kept circling around his body.

What's going on?

Wang Xiao immediately opened his eyes to inspect the situation. The Soul Ring simply did not dare approach his body.

It circled around him again and again, as though it were afraid of him.

Could it be that this Soul Ring simply can't match the Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel martial soul?

Hmm, that really does seem to be the case!

Then which martial soul can it match?

I have five martial souls in total. Which one suits it?

Wang Xiao immediately began thinking. Would it be the Twelve-Winged Holy Angel martial soul, the Thunder God Hammer martial soul, the Hundred Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul, or the Chicken Blood Vine martial soul?
