The First Soul Spirit, Auspicious Beast Capybara (Part 2)

Chapter 4: First Soul Spirit, Auspicious Beast Capybara (Part 2)

"Indomitable Soul Spirit!?"

Before Leng Yaozhu could react, Bai Haoze and Bai Zhichen cried out first, their Saintess System personas shattered, only the word "no" written across their faces.

Own people knew their own affairs. The name Indomitable Soul Spirit came because most of them would rather fight to the death than fuse with a soul master, and a considerable number of them had burst apart the soul masters who tried to fuse with them.

When Leng Yaozhu was away on business, Zhao Xuanzhen was left in the care of the Bai Sisters. They had accompanied the boy as he grew up and couldn't bear to see him walk straight into a tiger's path. Titan Giant Ape and Evil Eye were both top-grade soul spirits, enough to secure a brilliant future. There was no need to risk his life challenging an Indomitable Soul Spirit.

"The beast has an indomitable soul; the man has an unyielding will."

"Since ancient times, humans have conquered soul beasts." Zhao Xuanzhen said, "Big White Sister, Little White Sister, you should be more worried about that soul spirit."

"Oh, you! You've always had your own ideas!"

The Bai Sisters sighed in melancholy and gave up trying to persuade him further. They were among the people in the world who understood Zhao Xuanzhen best—once he set his mind on something, he had to see it through!

Leng Yaozhu took it all in and said to herself:

My disciple Xuanzhen has the bearing of an Extreme Douluo!

The comfortable environment of the Spirit Pagoda had not extinguished that naturally soaring heart of a strong one. The most top-tier talent stacked with an undaunted will—Leng Yaozhu felt she could already see Zhao Xuanzhen's boundless future!

She respected Zhao Xuanzhen's wishes and, through her authority as Deputy Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, quickly screened the eligible soul spirits. One soul beast after another flashed by, until finally a single unique seedling shone brilliantly!

The ancient forest on the Soul Guidance Screen revealed a soul beast. Its head was round and plump, its body streamlined, its limbs short, thick, and sturdy. A black-and-white brand in the center of its brow proclaimed its Yin-Yang attribute.

What was most jaw-dropping was the creature's current state—it was actually riding atop the head of a ten-thousand-year Golden Crocodile King, drifting along leisurely!

"A... capybara?"

Zhao Xuanzhen's brain froze for two and a half seconds. He checked again in disbelief. That creature, which looked like a kiwi with four chopsticks stuck into it, was truly and unmistakably a capybara!

"Spirit Water Porpoise, six hundred years of cultivation, Indomitable Soul Spirit Number Ninety-Nine." Leng Yaozhu's red lips parted.

"This soul beast is very, very, very special. The Golden Crocodile King, with its irritable and violent temper, for the first time ever allowed another soul beast to step on its head.

The Spirit Water Porpoise—among the millions upon millions of soul spirits in the Spirit Pagoda, it is the one and only auspicious beast!"

As she spoke, the Spirit Water Porpoise slowly stepped down from the Golden Crocodile King and instead climbed onto a Green Shadow God Hawk.

Stepping on the golden crocodile to ride the wind and waves, mounting the green hawk to soar straight up!

The face of an auspicious beast!

"Thousands of years ago, when the Final War broke out, the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire fled overseas. The victorious Sun Moon Empire established the Sun Moon Federation, and Douluo Continent entered a new stage of peaceful development."

Leng Yaozhu said: "Even after Douluo Continent was unified, the human world never stopped moving forward. They continued researching Soul Guidance Technology, mechas, and battle armor technology gradually perfected. Fierce beasts were no longer beings to be feared.

Soul master scholars believe the core of the soul beasts' decline was Soul Guidance Technology, but some have proposed another view: fate.

The decline of the soul beasts was actually because the Emperor Auspicious Beast sacrificed itself to Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao. The soul beasts' fate was devoured by human fate. From then on, everything went smoothly for humans, while the soul beasts never recovered.

Of course, the soul beasts didn't give up trying to save themselves. For instance, the Beast God Di Tian attempted to cultivate a second Emperor Auspicious Beast..."

"Wishful thinking." Zhao Xuanzhen hit the nail on the head. "The Emperor Auspicious Beast is a born emperor, unique under heaven."

"Yes." Leng Yaozhu said in a deep voice. "Star Dou failed. Di Tian could not raise a second Emperor Auspicious Beast, but in the process, they found an auspicious beast that could shelter a forest: the Spirit Water Porpoise.

The auspicious fortune of the Spirit Water Porpoise is naturally inferior to that of the Three Eyed Golden Lion, but it far surpasses that of the Golden Hawksbill Turtle and the like. After its cultivation breaks through one hundred thousand years, it can stabilize a portion of the soul beast clan's fate. It was the lifeline the Star Dou Great Forest could grasp."

"Now, it has fallen into the hands of the Spirit Pagoda." Zhao Xuanzhen said.

"To obtain more high-quality soul spirits, the Spirit Pagoda Master of that generation joined forces with the Sun Moon Federation to launch a surprise attack on the Star Dou Great Forest." Leng Yaozhu's expression was solemn.

"All the Title Douluo of the Spirit Pagoda participated in the battle. The Head and Deputy Head of the War God Hall and all Eighteen War Gods went into battle. Four of the Eight Great Legions were mobilized, and many continental forces answered the call.

Those not of our kind are bound to have different hearts. Besides, the Xingdou Fierce Beasts had launched beast tides more than once. That battle could be considered humanity's powerful counterattack against the Star Dou Great Forest.

Among the Xingdou Fierce Beasts, only Di Tian had condensed a Dual Soul Core. The humans who participated in the battle included six Four-Word Battle Armor Masters at the Extreme Douluo level, and over thirty Three-Word Battle Armor Masters at the Title Douluo level.

The amplification battle armor gave to soul masters was truly astonishing. Even the Number One Fierce Beast Under Heaven, Di Tian, was defeated under the siege of the Extreme Douluos.

The humans didn't want a fight to the death with the fierce beasts. Both sides ceased hostilities and reached an agreement. The fierce beasts swore not to leave the Core Zone to harm the world. The humans preserved the Core Zone of the Star Dou Great Forest, and after the war ended, they captured a huge number of soul beasts to make into soul spirits.

After this battle, the Star Dou Great Forest no longer had the auspicious beast Spirit Water Porpoise, and the Spirit Pagoda gained Indomitable Soul Spirit Number Ninety-Nine."

The Bai Sisters exchanged a glance and saw the sighing regret on each other's faces. They had personally seen the high walls the Spirit Pagoda had built. The Star Dou Great Forest was being penned in by humans. Sooner or later, humans would start another war, and then the Xingdou Fierce Beasts would either die in battle, dropping soul rings and soul bones, or become soul spirits attached to soul masters.

Zhao Xuanzhen's expression was unreadable. What Leng Yaozhu had recounted was the bloody history from the Peerless Tang Sect era to the Legend of the Dragon King era, a cycle of hatred that never ended.

"Auspicious beasts often awaken some mysterious and powerful abilities innately, like the Three Eyed Golden Lion's Destiny Power, or the Golden Hawksbill Turtle's Invincible Shield. The Spirit Water Porpoise possesses near-extreme Yin-Yang attributes and has a talent ability called Stability, which ignores any Bloodline Suppression caused by living beings."

Hearing this, Zhao Xuanzhen's eyes suddenly lit up. Leng Yaozhu understood that her disciple was truly tempted. She directly grabbed the Spirit Water Porpoise from the back of the Green Shadow God Hawk and made it appear in the room.

"The Spirit Water Porpoise's body is tougher than that of ordinary soul beasts. Its mental strength is the most outstanding. With six hundred years of cultivation, it can already establish a Mental Connection with a soul master for unhindered communication.

At the level of an auspicious beast, only the Head and Deputy Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda have the authority to deploy it.

Because the Spirit Water Porpoise's attributes are powerful and its auspicious fortune can bless its host with smooth sailing in all matters, two or three Yin-Yang attribute soul masters of the Spirit Pagoda have tried to fuse with the Spirit Water Porpoise. Without exception, they were strongly rejected by it.

A soul spirit contract being rejected by the soul beast is a matter of life and death, so they reluctantly gave up. Xuanzhen, Teacher respects your choice. I only suggest that you first communicate mentally with the Spirit Water Porpoise and try your best to convince it to fuse."

"I'll try."

Guiding a strand of mental strength to approach the Spirit Water Porpoise, Zhao Xuanzhen's mind traced back to memories of his past life. Speaking of capybaras, did they really have such a thing as a strong rejection emotion?

"Hello, Spirit Water Porpoise."

"Hello, human."

The spiritual connection succeeded, and the Spirit Water Porpoise's voice reached Zhao Xuanzhen's ears—soft and sticky, with barely any tonal fluctuation.

"I want you to become my soul spirit."

"No."

The man cut straight to the point, and the porpoise refused outright.

An Indomitable Soul Spirit, huh. Truly indomitable...

Zhao Xuanzhen's gaze turned solemn. With a talent as stable as ignoring Bloodline Suppression, the Spirit Water Porpoise was more than enough to stand out—let alone how well its abilities suited him!

True Self Release!

Plan B activated. Lure with aura, come into the bowl quickly!

"Tun Tun." Zhao Xuanzhen coaxed, "You and I, a perfect match, exploring the Way of Yin Yang together—a hundred times better than being confined to a Virtual Space. Wouldn't that be delightful!"

"Better not."

The Spirit Water Porpoise glanced at Zhao Mou, still like a Stone Woman, unmoved. In the past, when things reached this point, those soul masters would all choose to give up—after all, an Auspicious Beast is precious, but life is more valuable!

"What if I insist?"

Courtesy before force. Zhao Xuanzhen stepped closer, his shadow enveloping the Spirit Water Porpoise, his gaze staring unabashedly. Anyone could feel the unyielding will within it—I have plenty of strength and means!

That wolfish, tiger-like look, fiercer than a scythe, greedier than a mouse encountering rice, more ferocious than a dog meeting shit—it made the Spirit Water Porpoise's body stiffen for a moment.

"You insist so stubbornly..."

After a moment of confrontation, the Spirit Water Porpoise slowly spoke:

"Fine, then."

Who said the porpoise was indomitable? This porpoise is way too soft!

Let me answer everyone's questions here, oh. Genius flow, no system, complete outline, about six female leads. Silver Dragon King is a must-taste, so Gu Yue and Na'er's situation differs from the original—after all, no one wants their wife to have been someone else's Childhood Sweethearts. A reasonable explanation will be given later.

The protagonist's Original Martial Soul True Self, Yin-Yang Attribute, cheats from a past life's Dao techniques and Bagua Qimen. In the future, he won't walk the path of a body cultivator who proves the Dao through strength. Proving the Dao through strength is fine, but cultivating body, spirit, and attributes simultaneously allows the protagonist a much broader horizon.

Four soul spirits. The first is an Auspicious Beast porpoise with abilities greater than the Golden Hawksbill Turtle but lesser than the Three Eyed Golden Lion. The second is a Yin-Yang Attribute soul beast that appeared in the original series—some friends have already guessed it.

Everyone need not worry about fan-made characters; they're just a few passerby roles to fill in the gaps. Legend of the Dragon King is much more complex than Peerless Tang Sect, and the protagonist starts at the Spirit Pagoda, completely different from starting with Angel Glory or the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
