Xiao Wu acted extremely obediently, her fair-skinned face flushed with a hint of anticipation, her index finger gently poking Ye Qiu's tadpole.

The next instant!

On Ye Qiu's hand, the tadpole at the center of the yellow Soul Ring suddenly dissolved, spreading towards Xiao Wu's fingertip. A warm, comfortable sensation washed over her, and Xiao Wu's long eyelashes fluttered gently.

In a blink, the blackness tightly wrapped around her entire arm, adhering to her skin.

Ye Qiu whispered, "Don't resist!"

"Mhm!"

Xiao Wu nodded slightly. She had no intention of resisting. She felt as if she were bathing in warm sunshine, her whole body feeling cozy.

As the blackness spread, their consciousnesses reconnected. Ye Qiu briefly reviewed Xiao Wu's recent memories, and his lips twitched.

No wonder she tasted so sweet when I kissed her. She'd been stealing my stuff!

Xiao Wu's body trembled. Looking at Ye Qiu, a trace of shyness and fear appeared on her face.

At this moment, Xiao Wu's entire arm was covered in black, then her shoulders, neck, and finally her body.

Without realizing it, Xiao Wu had undergone her Martial Soul Avatar. Two tender pink rabbit ears stood tall, swaying slightly in the wind, and a small ball of white and pink fur appeared at the small of her back.

Buzz!

As the blackness sealed shut, the yellow Soul Ring on Ye Qiu's hand lit up, and the yellow Soul Ring beneath Xiao Wu's feet also glowed, as if in response, creating a peculiar resonance.

In just a few breaths, the blackness slowly retracted into Ye Qiu's palm, and Xiao Wu's pretty face once again felt the cool evening breeze.

Xiao Wu couldn't help but shiver, feeling as if she had been completely exposed. The characteristics of her Martial Soul Avatar slowly disappeared.

When the blackness gathered back into Ye Qiu's palm, reforming into the shape of a tadpole, he couldn't help but show joy as it transformed.

"Huh? Ye Qiu. Why did your tadpole change shape? Is it broken?"

Xiao Wu bent over, staring at the tadpole in Ye Qiu's hand with great curiosity.

Ye Qiu rolled his eyes at her, annoyed. "This is my Martial Soul. How can a Martial Soul break? You silly rabbit."

"Ah—rabbit!"

Hearing Ye Qiu's scolding, Xiao Wu didn't react immediately. Instead, she gasped, looking at the palm of Ye Qiu's hand.

The black and white tadpole in Ye Qiu's hand had unknowingly transformed into a very miniature rabbit, with white ears and a black body.

"So cute! Ye Qiu. Your Martial Soul turned into a Bunny."

Xiao Wu exclaimed in amazement, bending over, raising her hand, and poking the little rabbit's white ear.

"Yeah, it turned into a rabbit."

Ye Qiu smiled. Soon, the little white rabbit transformed back into a tadpole, but at the center of the yellow Soul Ring, a rabbit's imprint seemed to have been left behind.

This was Ye Qiu's first Soul Skill.

It was a further enhancement of Venom's replication ability, more suited to the physique of a Soul Master on the Douluo Continent!

The first Soul Skill: Myriad Manifestations!

The Douluo Continent was a world of Martial Souls, and Soul Skills required the use of Martial Souls. There were countless types of Martial Souls on the continent.

Relying solely on Venom, it was extremely difficult for Ye Qiu to find Soul Skills that perfectly suited him to replicate.

But with this Soul Skill, things were different.

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

He could then copy the Soul Skills stored within their Soul Ring and imprint them into his own Soul Ring. This greatly reduced the limitations when replicating Soul Skills.

However, Ye Qiu's first Soul Skill also had limitations.

He couldn't mimic others' Martial Souls without restriction.

For every additional Soul Ring he obtained, he could mimic one more Martial Soul.

Furthermore, Martial Souls involved the soul level of a Soul Master, and when replicating another's Martial Soul, the other party had to be willing.

Once the replication was complete, Venom would leave the other party's imprint, and it couldn't be changed.

Therefore, one had to be very cautious when making a choice.

Additionally, if Ye Qiu were to establish a connection with a Title Douluo at this time, he would only be able to use their first Soul Skill.

In other words, even if he possessed their Martial Soul and replicated their Soul Skill, he wouldn't be able to use Soul Skills that exceeded the number of his own Soul Rings.

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

Didn't this mean...

He could become a six-sided warrior?!

Whether it was control, agile offense, or even support, he could excel in any role.

What excited Ye Qiu the most, however, was the upper limit of his power.

If he could become a god, and his replicated targets also became gods, could he then replicate God's power?

At that point, battles between Gods wouldn't rely on Martial Soul anymore!

If successful, how heaven-defying would that be!

Of course, the prerequisite was that those replicated targets possessed the potential to become gods!

Therefore, Ye Qiu was very discerning about his replicated targets.

Looking across Douluo Continent, with his arrival here, Bibi Dong and her daughter were certain to become gods. Bibi Dong was already undergoing her god trial, and Qian Renxue was the only Qian family descendant currently qualified to undergo the Angel God trial! As for others, they were yet to be discovered. Talent was important, but survival was even more crucial!

Beside him, Xiao Wu, watching Ye Qiu's delighted expression, was still a bit dazed. She hugged herself with both arms, her pretty face flushed red.

She tugged at Ye Qiu next to her, looking at him uncertainly, "Ye Qiu, why did your Martial Soul turn back into a tadpole? And why do I feel like I lost something?"

"Hm?"

Ye Qiu put away his somewhat unrealistic thoughts and turned to look at Xiao Wu, a sly smile playing on his lips. He grabbed one of her delicate hands and teased, "You little rogue rabbit are crying thief while being the thief! I'm the one who lost something, aren't I?!"

"Ah? I, I just..."

Xiao Wu seemed to have her tail stepped on, flustered and trying to pull her hand away, stammering incoherently.

"Just what? No wonder your little mouth was so sweet when I kissed you today!"

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

Xiao Wu's face turned red as she tried to cover Ye Qiu's mouth.

"Just consider it Xiao Wu sister getting her payment in advance, okay?! Don't talk about it anymore!"

"Heh heh. Alright!"

Ye Qiu didn't press her too hard and let go of her small hand.

"Then I won't need to pay you any compensation."

"What?!"

As soon as she pulled her hand back, Xiao Wu took two steps back, rubbing her hand, and exclaimed. Her crimson eyes widened, her slender eyebrows furrowed, and she shouted indignantly, "Why?! Xiao Wu sister only took two blades of grass-flavored ones from you, you still owe Xiao Wu sister three!"

"You're taking my things and you have the nerve to be reasonable?"

Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow.

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

Xiao Wu's face flushed, her eyes looking at Ye Qiu with a shimmering gaze, a mix of shame and indignation.

Wishing everyone a happy life!
