Selecting a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast for Ye Lingling

"I advise you to give up. You know Ling Ling's personality. Instead of trying to make an effort with him, you might as well find some random woman."

Osler mocked from not far away.

They knew Ling Ling's personality better than anyone. There were hardly any men worthy of her. Even Yu Tianheng had no value whatsoever in front of Ling Ling.

Ye Lingling seemed like an ice-cold beauty. There were only a few people in this world capable of becoming her man.

On top of that, her teacher was a Title Douluo. With a Title Douluo's status behind her, even nobles would not dare claim they were worthy of her, let alone a guy like Yufeng.

Yufeng glared with eyes as wide as bells. "Osler, you bastard. I was only joking. Is that how you crush your good brother's spirits? If you keep this up, I won't go out and have fun with you anymore."

"Alright, alright, I know I was wrong, okay?" Osler shrugged indifferently. Just as he was about to say something, a rustling sound suddenly came from the forest in the distance.

Osler and the others immediately became fully alert. They stopped walking and, following their previous experience hunting Soul Beasts, sent Osler, the Agility Attack System Soul Master, ahead to investigate. Yufeng was responsible for covering their rear, while the Shimo brothers protected the Support System Soul Master in the team.

Xiao Wu pursed her lips. Seeing the Heaven Dou Battle Team's vigilance, she could only cooperate by crouching down. Her fingers lightly poked the ground as she tried to call the Titan Giant Ape here to save her.

But Xiao Wu suddenly remembered what Lord Lin Yuan had told her not long ago. If Er Ming truly came, Lin Yuan might very well kill him. Moreover, Lin Yuan had a Blood Fiend Azure Dragon with three hundred thousand years of cultivation. If they fought, Er Ming would not be his match at all.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu ultimately gave up on calling Er Ming, the Titan Giant Ape. She did not want Er Ming to fall into danger because of her.

Lin Yuan and Shang Que saw every one of Xiao Wu's movements. Shang Que had already taken on human form and lightly waved a fan, helping his master drive away the mosquitoes in the area.

"Looks like she has some sense after all. If she had really summoned the Titan Giant Ape, the king of the forest, Master could kill it with no more than a flick of his finger."

With a smile on his face, Shang Que asked, "Master, should we teach her a lesson?"

"There's no need. Since she didn't summon the Titan Giant Ape, we'll spare her this once."

Lin Yuan's spiritual power had long since completely enveloped the area. He knew everything that happened here. As long as she did not cross his bottom line, it did not matter even if Xiao Wu left.

The Blood Fiend Azure Dragon, Shang Que, raised his brows. The motion of his hand suddenly stopped as he turned to look into the dense forest. With Osler and the others working together, they had successfully killed the five-thousand-year Ghost Shadow Leopard.

Ye Lingling spread open her palm, and her Support System Martial Soul turned into streams of light that merged into their bodies. In almost an instant, everyone who had been slightly injured was fully restored.

"As expected of the peerless Support System Martial Soul Master has taken a liking to. With this level of healing, if she becomes a Title Douluo in the future, she could probably save even Soul Masters who were dead and gone."

Lin Yuan propped his chin up with one hand and smiled as he watched Ye Lingling in the distance. As though he had already anticipated the outcome, he said with a smile, "Naturally. If Ling Ling can break through level one hundred and become a God-level Expert in the future, she could probably save even a god who had been slain."

Hearing this, Shang Que looked at him in astonishment. If that were truly the case, would that not mean they could become immortal in the future?

Was this why Master had taken a liking to Ye Lingling and accepted her as his disciple?

Osler sat cross-legged and released his Martial Soul, drawing the purple Soul Ring before him over to himself. It then settled around his body as he began absorbing the energy within it.

Lin Yuan suddenly said, "Go find a Ten Thousand Year Support System Soul Beast for Ling Ling."

"What?"

Shang Que immediately sucked in a cold breath and said in shock, "Find Ling Ling a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast? Master, are you sure you aren't joking with me?"

"What else?"

Lin Yuan stretched lazily, took out a jug of wine from his Soul Tool, and leisurely took a sip. "I just remembered that if Ling Ling is to achieve greater things in the future, raising the age limit of her Soul Rings is essential."

Shang Que furrowed his brows slightly upon hearing this. If that was the case, it was truly inconceivable. Was Master not afraid that the impact of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring would turn Ye Lingling into an idiot?

On Douluo Continent, absorbing a Soul Ring beyond one's level had always been a grave taboo. Nearly every outcome ended in the body exploding and death. Absorbing a Soul Ring generally meant enduring the resentment of the Soul Beast. One slight mistake could turn someone into an idiot, so people generally did not absorb Soul Rings beyond their level.

In the original work, after Tang San had reached level forty and went to capture a Soul Beast, he did not choose the Thousand Year Man Faced Demon Spider that would have benefited him more. Instead, he chose a Ten Thousand Year Cave Demon Spider.

After a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast died, it would produce a spiritual shockwave. For Soul Masters, their spiritual power and bodies only became fully mature at level fifty, giving them a better chance of absorbing it safely.

Yet Tang San had absorbed a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring at level forty, risking his life in the process. Even though he was exceptionally gifted, absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring was still fraught with difficulties for Tang San.

Absorbing Soul Rings beyond one's level placed tremendous demands on the body. Tang San's body had been enhanced by the Blazing Fire Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, allowing him to barely endure the impact. But Ye Lingling had neither herbs nor the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. It was simply impossible for her to accomplish it.

Lin Yuan said without hesitation, "Go without worry. I have my own way to help Ling Ling resolve the impact from the Soul Beast matter today. Don't forget, a Title Douluo is capable of anything."

After hearing this, the Azure Dragon Shang Que said nothing further. After all, he was merely a mount. Whatever Master told him to do, he should do.

Since Master had a way, he certainly had his reasons. Shang Que only needed to personally capture a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast.

Lin Yuan drained the wine in his cup in one gulp, smacked his lips with lingering satisfaction, and continued looking in Ye Lingling's direction. Although there are no Immortal Grade Herbs to help her for now, that does not mean my Asura God's Divine Sense cannot.

Asura God's Divine Sense was a special ability produced by the Asura Demon Sword Martial Soul. Any Soul Beast wounded by it faced the risk of having its soul devoured. With even the slightest carelessness, it would become an idiotic Soul Beast.
