Bold Attempt

Feeling the speed at which they were traveling, Bibi Han could not help sighing that Douluo Continent was indeed somewhat backward. Although the Thousand-Year Swift Wind Colt pulling the carriage was a gentle Soul Beast capable of traveling ten thousand li a day, it was far inferior to the airplanes of Blue Star, let alone—

Inside the carriage, Bibi Han asked, "Mother, what kind of Soul Ring should I obtain?"

Bibi Dong smiled kindly before saying, "Before deciding what kind of Soul Ring to absorb, you must first understand the characteristics of your Martial Soul. Han'er, do you know your Martial Soul's characteristics?"

Bibi Han released his Blue Silver God Martial Soul, making the atmosphere throughout the carriage extraordinarily comfortable. On both sides of the carriage, clumps of Blue Silver Grass continuously broke through the ground and swayed in the wind.

"Life," Bibi Han said.

Bibi Dong nodded. "That's right. Whether in the desert or atop snowy mountains, it can grow as long as it is given a little soil and nourishment. You could say its nature is inherently suited for healing."

Hearing this, Bibi Han could not help recalling the original story. When Tang San fought Tang Lieyang, he had said that there was Blue Silver Grass on the mountain, though not much. His Biological Mother, Ah Yin, had traveled the continent as a Healer, treating injured Soul Beasts and commoners.

A Title Douluo's senses were incredibly sharp. Bibi Dong immediately asked, "Han'er, what is it? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No. I just thought about how, after working so hard for so long, I could only become a minor support and hide behind my teammates. It made me feel bad."

"Silly child, Blue Silver Grass can follow not only the healing path, but also the control path."

How had Tang Hao and Ah Yin evaded Spirit Hall's pursuit for so many years? It was precisely because of the Blue Silver Emperor's domineering control ability that they had left no traces behind.

Bibi Dong could not help thinking, Blue Silver Emperor, oh Blue Silver Emperor, you chose healing and control, while I chose poison and control. Yet your son became my adopted son. This fate really is...

Several days later, at Star Dou Great Forest, the group entered the forest. The moment he stepped inside, Bibi Han felt as if he had returned home. His Blue Silver Domain activated automatically, and countless blades of Blue Silver Grass grew wildly, emitting an incomparably pleasant aura. Everyone within it had their fatigue from the journey completely washed away.

Ju Douluo remarked, "Incredible. I feel better than ever before. Every function of my body is at its peak."

The others nodded as well.

Bibi Dong asked, "Little Han, what abilities does your domain have?"

"I'm not entirely sure either. I've only discovered that within it, my Martial Soul's healing ability becomes stronger. Whether there are other abilities will need to be explored gradually."

"However, in the forest, the Soul Power consumed by the domain is halved, and it can remain active for longer."

Looking at the continuously swaying Blue Silver Grass around them, Bibi Dong said, "It should be because of the surrounding Blue Silver Grass. They are sharing part of the Soul Power burden for you."

The group split into three parties. Bibi Han stayed with Bibi Dong, while Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo each went their separate ways to capture a Soul Beast around seven hundred years old for him.

Before long, Ju Douluo returned, carrying an animal-type Soul Beast.

Bibi Han was not surprised at all by absorbing an animal Soul Beast. Animals could absorb plants, and plants could absorb animals. Spirit Hall had known this long ago. Their predecessors had already made such bold attempts; otherwise, what Soul Beasts would Tool Martial Soul Soul Masters absorb?

Ju Douluo brought over a Holy Light Unicorn of roughly seven hundred and twenty years and threw it onto the ground. The unicorn was already on its last breath, with a huge gash across its neck.

"Han'er, finish it off. This is something you must do. A Soul Ring can only be obtained by the person who kills it," Bibi Dong said.

Bibi Han picked up a dagger and thought, I'm sorry, Soul Beast. His hand came down, and the Soul Ring appeared.

"Mother, what should I do next?"

"Guide it with your will, then use your Martial Soul to absorb it."

When Bibi Han guided the Soul Ring with his will and prepared to absorb it, his brows furrowed slightly before he gave up.

"Han'er, what's wrong?"

"My Martial Soul seems to be telling me that this Soul Ring Age is too low. It doesn't want to absorb it."

Everyone looked astonished. Martial Souls were indeed part of one's body, but they had never heard of a Martial Soul being able to give warnings.

"Little Han, did you hear it correctly?"

Bibi Han nodded, indicating that he had.

"Your Majesty the Pope, what should we do?" Ju Douluo asked.

"Keep searching until we find the most suitable one."

"Then won't we have to indiscriminately kill many Soul Beasts, Mother?"

Bibi Dong said indifferently, "Soul Beasts were born to help us Soul Masters increase our strength. Their lives are not important. Besides, these are only low-level Soul Beasts. As long as they are not high-level Soul Beasts, it cannot be considered indiscriminate slaughter."

After thinking for a moment, Bibi Han said, "Mother, I suddenly have an idea. I can pass the information to the Blue Silver Grass and have them guide me to the most suitable Soul Beast."

Bibi Dong's eyes lit up. That was possible too.

"Let's do it."

Guided by the Blue Silver Grass, they soon arrived at a location where a plant more than three meters tall stood.

"That's a Soul Vine," Ju Douluo said.

A Soul Vine absorbed the Soul Power of living creatures it bound, using it to strengthen itself. Once a Soul Vine broke through ten thousand years, it could also absorb a creature's Life force.

A Soul Vine could only be considered a true Evil Soul Beast after reaching ten thousand years and gaining the ability to absorb Life force.

"Yes, this truly suits it."

"A Vine that absorbs Soul Power naturally possesses tremendous toughness. It is perfectly suited to become a Control System-type Soul Ring, but its age is too high." Bibi Dong sounded somewhat regretful.

More than three meters tall represented more than three thousand years. That already exceeded what an ordinary Soul Master could absorb as a Third Soul Ring, and it was not suitable for a Fourth Soul Ring either.

"Han'er, choose another one with a lower age."

"No, Mother, this one is exactly right. I can feel my Martial Soul conveying a sense of longing."

"And Mother, you should know about Martial Soul Suppression, right?"

Martial Soul Suppression was exactly as its name suggested: among similar Martial Souls, a higher-level Martial Soul suppressed a lower-level one. Just as in the original story, when the Blue Silver Emperor released a trace of its aura, even a Soul Emperor-level Ghost King Vine could not move.

"I believe I can do it with Martial Soul Suppression and the strength of my body. In terms of strength, not even a Soul Elder can compare to me. Mother, believe that I can do it."
