Martial Soul Forms

"Yes." Ghostly Douluo and Moon Guan answered at the same time, then split up to search separately.

An hour later, Ghostly Douluo and Moon Guan had each captured two or three soul beasts.

Ghostly Douluo brought back a thousand-year Seven-Colored Exquisite Cat, a thirteen-hundred-year Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, and a nine-hundred-year Frost Wolf.

Moon Guan, meanwhile, brought back an eight-hundred-and-fifty-year Hell Demon Pearl and an eleven-hundred-year Shadow Moon Leopard.

Of course, aside from the Seven-Colored Exquisite Cat, Ghostly Douluo and Moon Guan had rudely knocked all the other soul beasts unconscious and tossed them onto the ground. The cat was simply too adorable and obedient, so Ghostly Douluo had not laid a hand on it.

"This kitty is so cute." Shen Nuonuo looked at the little cat less than a meter away from her. She had always liked cats.

The Seven-Colored Glazed Cat's fur carried a faint glow and displayed seven distinct colors. Its strange pupils seemed to shimmer with dreamlike light.

"Nuonuo, which one do you like? Grandpa thinks the Frost Wolf and Shadow Moon Leopard are both good choices." Qian Daoliu was very satisfied with Moon Guan and Ghostly Douluo's efficiency and planned to arrange suitable positions for them after they returned.

Shen Nuonuo looked at the five soul beasts with entirely different attributes and felt a little torn.

She did not want this cat to become her Spirit Ring.

She kind of wanted to take it back to Spirit Hall and cuddle it.

System, which soul beast do you think is suitable for my Spirit Ring?

Shen Nuonuo knew absolutely nothing about these soul beasts. In her memories, she only had some impression of the soul beasts Tang San had killed.

The query requires one hundred Points. The system's cold, emotionless voice sounded.

Look it up for me! Shen Nuonuo did not hesitate. Spirit Ring combinations were a major matter, so she spent the Points directly.

The soul beast most suitable for you is that thousand-year Seven-Colored Exquisite Cat. The next best choice is the slightly older Shadow Moon Leopard.

The system quickly gave its recommendation.

"Grandpa, then I'll take this eleven-hundred-year Shadow Moon Leopard as my first Spirit Ring!" Shen Nuonuo did not want to kill a cat, so she chose to kill a leopard instead.

Shadow Moon Leopard: I'm so screwed, thanks.

"That works. It suits your martial soul as well." Qian Daoliu prepared to finish off the little leopard, which was still unconscious.

At that moment, the Shadow Moon Leopard seemed to sense that a true crisis had arrived and actually woke from its unconscious state.

The Shadow Moon Leopard was a relatively rare leopard-type soul beast. Its body was covered in silver-white fur, and its blue eyes flashed fiercely. Its forelimbs were thick and powerful, but its body was small and compact, making it exceptionally agile.

"Awroo." Seeing a group of formidable people surrounding it, the Shadow Moon Leopard let out a howl at Shen Nuonuo. Rare fear filled its eyes, as though it were begging Shen Nuonuo for mercy.

This leopard seems to be begging me for mercy? It's pretty intelligent. Shen Nuonuo found it rather novel. This could be said to be her first time encountering a leopard.

The Shadow Moon Leopard's eyes immediately widened. There was even gratitude in them as the fur on its body trembled. Its leopard head nodded frantically at Shen Nuonuo.

Qian Daoliu gave Ghostly Douluo a faint glance.

The meaning was obvious.

He was to deal with it.

Ghostly Douluo received the order. His aura condensed, and nine Spirit Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—rose beneath his feet.

The moment Ghostly Douluo released his powerful aura, the Shadow Moon Leopard began to tremble violently. In the end, it collapsed onto the ground and closed its eyes.

It had accepted its fate.

"First Soul Skill, Giant Ghost Hand."

Ghostly Douluo's expression was cold, and his eyes grew even darker. He felt not the slightest pity for soul beasts. After activating his soul skill, one of his arms expanded from shoulder to palm. The skin of the enlarged arm turned purple.

He swung his claws at the Shadow Moon Leopard, sending out five purple blades that struck it with precision. It let out a miserable cry and was left at death's door.

The fact that it was still alive meant Ghost Douluo had already held back. He had left the final blow for Shen Nuonuo; otherwise, the Shadow Moon Leopard would have died the instant it was hit. The gap between a Titled Douluo and a thousand-year soul beast was like the difference between heaven and earth.

"Nuonuo, don't hesitate. Kill it." Qian Daoliu saw that Shen Nuonuo seemed somewhat hesitant.

Shen Nuonuo felt nervous, and her palms sweated slightly. She had never killed any living creature in her previous life. This was her first time killing an animal—no, a soul beast.

This was also Qian Renxue's first time seeing soul beasts, let alone witnessing a scene where one was about to be killed. Frightened, she covered her eyes.

Shen Nuonuo adjusted her breathing and spread open her left hand. The Glazed Myriad Transformation Umbrella appeared in her palm. With a thought, the umbrella immediately transformed into a golden dagger.

"Nuonuo, why did your umbrella turn into a dagger?"

Qian Daoliu frowned as he watched this scene.

Ghostly Douluo and Moon Guan also looked as though they had seen a ghost, secretly guessing that Shen Nuonuo might possess Twin Martial Souls.

Qian Daoliu had asked Ghostly Douluo and Moon Guan to accompany them in hunting for Spirit Rings.

He had not told them that Shen Nuonuo possessed Twin Martial Souls, so they did not know.

"Grandpa, my first martial soul, the Glazed Myriad Transformation Umbrella, has one primary form and two secondary forms. The primary form is the umbrella. The second is the dagger, and the third is a shield."

Shen Nuonuo explained it to Qian Daoliu.

She felt that her martial soul was somewhat similar to the Myriad Transformation Umbrella created by Su Muqiu, but hers clearly had only three transformations, while his had more than twenty.

Qian Renxue looked confused. Didn't martial souls only have one form?

Unlike the ignorant Qian Renxue, Moon Guan and Ghostly Douluo both looked somewhat shocked.

So she really did have Twin Martial Souls, and her first martial soul was even this versatile type.

This martial soul could attack, defend, and even shield from the rain.

Qian Daoliu, meanwhile, felt that Shen Nuonuo had thoroughly overturned everything he knew about martial souls and Spirit Rings in just two days.

"Go absorb it!"

Shen Nuonuo answered in acknowledgment and slowly walked toward the Shadow Moon Leopard. She acted without hesitation, driving the dagger straight into the Shadow Moon Leopard's heart before forcefully pulling it back out.

The Shadow Moon Leopard immediately stopped breathing and died in that instant.

A purple Spirit Ring slowly emerged above the Shadow Moon Leopard's corpse.

Shen Nuonuo then followed Qian Daoliu's instructions, sitting cross-legged and using her Soul Power to draw in the thousand-year Spirit Ring.

Qian Daoliu sat beside Shen Nuonuo to guard her, preventing her from failing during the absorption.

He would protect her from harm as much as possible.

Shen Nuonuo worked hard to draw in the Spirit Ring, allowing its Soul Power to merge into her body.

A moment later, she felt a warm and comfortable sensation within her body.

An hour later, Shen Nuonuo opened her orange eyes. A purple Spirit Ring was wrapped around her body.

Her Soul Power Level had risen from level ten to level fourteen.

"Nuonuo, how do you feel?" Qian Daoliu had sensed her exact Soul Power Level.

"Grandpa, I think I have three soul skills!"

Shen Nuonuo noticed her unusual condition and was incredibly excited.

"Hm? What!" Surprise appeared in Qian Daoliu's eyes. Wouldn't that mean she could gain three soul skills every time she added a Spirit Ring?

Of course, that was impossible!
