Douluo: Martial Soul Ghost Emperor of the Wedding Dress, All Spirit Beasts Sacrifice

Looking at the Dark Demon Tiger, which was trussed up like a dumpling and still breathing, Su Wen sighed at how convenient it was to possess a Soul Tool capable of storing living creatures.

"Xiao Wen, what are you doing?"

Ye Yuan'er looked at Su Wen's actions in confusion: "Are you planning to slaughter and eat it right now? Tiger-type beasts are indeed very nourishing..."

Su Wen did not answer, instead asking in return: "Aunt Ye, ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts all possess soul shock. Do you know why this soul shock occurs?"

Ye Yuan'er chuckled: "Are you planning to test me?"

Seeing the little guy so serious, Ye Yuan'er suddenly put away her smile.

Chapter 39: The Dowry Bride

"Ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts have already developed intelligence, and when they are killed, a remnant thought falls into the Spirit Ring."

"When a Spirit Master absorbs it, they will be attacked by this remnant thought. This is the beast's final counterattack, also known as soul shock."

Ye Yuan'er's explanation made Su Wen nod slightly: "Aunt Ye, according to that logic, if a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast lacked intelligence, would there be no soul shock?"

"This..." Ye Yuan'er pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly: "That is indeed the implication, but all ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts possess intelligence..."

"No, no..."

Su Wen pointed his finger at the Dark Demon Tiger: "Such things can be artificially induced... For example, if it were an idiot or demented, or perhaps seeking death... would there still be soul shock?"

The Dark Demon Tiger bared its teeth and stared at him.

It didn't understand.

But it definitely wasn't anything good.

"Ah..."

Ye Yuan'er was somewhat stunned, unable to react for a moment.

Such a theory had never appeared in the spirit master theories of the continent.

Ye Yuan'er blinked, seemingly understanding what Su Wen was about to do.

"Aunt Ye, the power of spirits was all researched by our predecessors."

"Let us also set a precedent for those who come after!"

Su Wen didn't wait for Ye Yuan'er to refuse, grinning: "Aunt Ye, you wouldn't want me to secretly experiment and get myself killed because you didn't agree, right?"

Ye Yuan'er's expression was one of astonishment, her rosy lips slightly parted in surprise.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the inexplicable urge to beat him up.

"Fine, fine... You are truly something, learning to threaten me with your own life."

"Hehe!"

Su Wen shamelessly leaned in close: "Aunt Ye, leave this tiger with you. It's over ten thousand years old with the strength of a Spirit King; you watch it personally so no accidents happen."

"You can let it eat, but don't let it get full. If it wants to sleep, wake it up. If you're feeling annoyed, whip it to vent your anger. As long as it has a breath left, it's fine..."

Ye Yuan'er pursed her lips and didn't speak, but she tacitly agreed.

Su Wen crouched down, patted the head of the Dark Demon Tiger, and spoke slowly into its angry pupils:

"For the sake of my ten-thousand-year grand plan, starting today, you are responsible for suffering."

Su Wen looked at its stubborn and angry eyes, feeling very satisfied. He wondered if it would be seeking death after a while.

"Xiao Wen, has the seal on your Oil-paper Umbrella fallen off?"

Ye Yuan'er sighed, then suddenly remembered an important matter.

"Right, I forgot to check."

Su Wen immediately summoned the red Oil-paper Umbrella.

Of the nine long streamers on the umbrella, only seven still had talismans attached; it was obvious that another one had fallen off.

The moment the red umbrella opened, two clouds of red mist drifted out from within.

One of them was Hongdou, and the other was the Ghost Bride who looked much like her.

Her feet stood upon a Red Lotus.

Clad in red with delicate hands.

She wore a blood-colored wedding dress and a red veil over her head.

Her clothing was identical to Hongdou's.

Beneath her feet were one yellow and one purple spirit ring, a configuration that surpassed ordinary people.

In her hands, she held an ancient mirror.

The mirror was somewhat strange; one side was white, and the other was red.

"Ah, this... another one."

Ye Yuan'er was startled; Hongdou's Spirit Rings had changed to one yellow and one purple.

The newly emerged Ghost Bride was the same.

Her Martial Soul had changed as well.

"So the Martial Soul is a mirror!"

Su Wen stroked his chin, surprised to see another dowry maid appear.

It was indeed somewhat unexpected.

"What are your Spirit Skills?"

Su Wen was quite curious and prepared to have the Ghost Bride demonstrate them for him.

Suddenly, a line of red text appeared in the air.

It was a vivid, bright red.

The ink looked like blood.

[Red Face Copy!]

[White Face Guard!]

Eight blood-stained characters floated in the air.

While amazed, Ye Yuan'er also felt a slight tingling on her scalp.

"Xiao Wen, so they actually have consciousness!"

Ye Yuan'er had figured it out; being able to respond meant they definitely possessed independent thought.

Su Wen was not very surprised, though he was a bit astonished that she could reply to him.

"Give me a detailed introduction..."

No sooner had Su Wen finished speaking than the bright red text appeared before his eyes again.

[Red Face: Without needing consent, forcibly copy the opponent's Spirit Skill. At the same rank, it exerts 100% power; exceeding five levels of Spirit Power, it exerts 90%; exceeding ten levels, 80%; exceeding fifteen levels, 70%...]

[White Face: Generates defense!]

"How amazing!"

Ye Yuan'er clicked her tongue; it was actually a copying ability, and one Spirit Ring actually had two Spirit Skills.

Her mirror Martial Soul was not simple.

Ye Yuan'er couldn't help but steal a few glances. The mirror had one white side and one red side; the Ghost Bride kept the white side facing her and the red side facing outward.

Ye Yuan'er did not see her own reflection in the red side of the mirror.

Su Wen's eyes lit up; it seemed even more powerful than Hongdou.

"Hongdou, what is your second Spirit Skill?"

Hongdou was quite straightforward, and the Spirit Ring at her feet flashed immediately.

Then, Hongdou drifted toward the wall and passed right through it.

The Ghost Bride followed Hongdou's figure and also demonstrated her Spirit Skill.

Both of their Spirit Skills were the same: like a Ghostly Soul, they ignored physical objects and could shuttle through them freely.

"Uh, I thought they could pass through walls and ground naturally; turns out they have to activate a Spirit Skill. No wonder I hadn't seen it before..."

Su Wen felt he had learned something new.

Ye Yuan'er, however, felt a chill all over, unable to tell for a moment whether they were formed by Martial Souls or Spirit Power, or if they were truly ghosts that had crawled up from below.

The former was acceptable; after all, in this world of Martial Souls, anything could happen.

If it were the latter, Ye Yuan'er felt she would get goosebumps all over.

Su Wen spoke to the Ghost Bride holding the mirror: "From now on, you shall be called Hongjing!"

"Xiao Wen, are the remaining seals also Ghost Brides?"

Ye Yuan'er felt that since the second one was a Ghost Bride, the third one probably was too.

"I don't know!"

Su Wen had always been in the dark regarding his companion weapon.

He couldn't be certain what would emerge next.

"Never mind whether they are or not... anyway, once you become a Titled Douluo, these two will surely be Titled Douluo as well..."

Ye Yuan'er felt excited inside.

Becoming a Titled Douluo with two Titled Douluo henchmen.

Xiao Wen would surely become famous across the continent in the future.

He might even be able to establish his own faction.
