Target, Wind Thunder Demon Tiger!

Du Bùsǐ stared blankly at Ye Linyuan, his entire mind gone numb.

A full several seconds passed before Du Bùsǐ snapped back to reality.

He looked at this cheap disciple of his and murmured, "Back in the day, that senior of our sect who knew the Sacred Angel Family left a record, saying that anyone who obtained a Unicorn soul ring would be favored by fate."

"I originally thought it was nonsense, but looking at it now... could it actually be true?"

Ye Linyuan's mouth twitched.

Good grief, even this lines up?

Wasn't the one favored by fate that three-eyed golden-furred beast? What's a Unicorn doing getting a share of the spotlight?

Du Bùsǐ's eyes blazed with sharp light as he said excitedly, "Linyuan, this inheritance you've obtained—which deity does it belong to?"

"And what are the contents of their divine trials?"

Ye Linyuan had long anticipated Du Bùsǐ would ask these questions and had his story ready: "According to the information left in the inheritance, this deity is called the Evil God."

"The trial content hasn't been revealed yet—perhaps the time isn't right."

In the legends of Douluo Continent, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was called the Evil God's envoy, its power source being the Evil God himself.

But this Evil God was not the Evil God among the five great god-kings of the divine realm; rather, it was an extremely mysterious existence that had never had a successor before.

Using it as an excuse, Du Bùsǐ had no way to verify anything.

From the way Electrolux's power manifested, it did indeed closely match the image of the Evil God, making it the perfect disguise.

Moreover, to some extent, Electrolux had once been only a step away from true divinity.

Calling this a divine inheritance didn't seem like much of a stretch.

Sure enough.

As soon as the name "Evil God" was uttered, Du Bùsǐ became even more convinced.

"The Evil God... Though this deity's revered name has been passed down, their inheritance has never appeared on Douluo Continent."

"Unexpectedly, it has now fallen upon you!"

"Could it be that the condition for the Evil God's inheritance is having the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as one's martial soul?"

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is!"

The more Du Bùsǐ spoke, the more excited he became, his logic forming a perfect closed loop without a single flaw.

He grabbed Ye Linyuan's shoulder, his gaze burning hot: "Linyuan, I was wrong."

"To gain a deity's recognition at such a young age—this is no mere limit-level talent; this is clearly the bearing of one destined to become a god!"

"This old man has decided: from today onward, you are the next sect master heir of our Body Sect!"

"Our Body Sect has endured for thousands of years, and now—this is the moment of our rise!"

Ye Linyuan looked stunned.

Sect master heir?

Was this the protagonist halo of a time-traveler? Wasn't the promotion speed a bit too fast?

Shaking his head with some amusement, Ye Linyuan said, "By the way, teacher, the Evil God's inheritance power is currently dormant within my Exquisite Sacred Heart."

"Due to the inheritance's influence, my Exquisite Sacred Heart can now only fuse soul rings to amplify itself, but I can no longer possess soul skills."

"As compensation, the inheritance contains a unique cultivation secret technique called Necromancy."

"So I plan to switch my primary cultivation martial soul to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and keep Necromancy as a trump card."

Du Bùsǐ was momentarily taken aback.

But after only a brief thought, he nodded without hesitation: "No problem, switch!"

"Though the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is powerful, compared to a divine inheritance, it's certainly inferior!"

Just then, Du Bùsǐ suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, Linyuan, I saw that the Unicorn's soul ring was drawn into your body along with that gray airflow—did your soul master bottleneck break through?"

Ye Linyuan smiled faintly and activated his Exquisite Sacred Heart.

The next second.

A faint white light radiated from his chest.

At the same time, a gray soul ring quietly emerged, pulsing and undulating around Ye Linyuan.

Du Bùsǐ's eyes sharpened as he blurted out, "A gray soul ring!?"

Ye Linyuan nodded in explanation: "The Unicorn's soul ring power was influenced by the divine inheritance, so it ended up like this."

Du Bùsǐ watched in amazement, clicking his tongue in wonder.

The appearance of an abnormal soul ring had always signified something extraordinary.

Seeing the color of Ye Linyuan's soul ring, he no longer had any doubt about the Evil God's existence.

"Linyuan, then what level is your soul power at now?"

"Your first soul ring already fused a ten-thousand-year one—the boost should be considerable, right?"

Ye Linyuan said helplessly, "It only raised my soul power by one level. I'm at level eleven now."

"Ah?" Du Bùsǐ looked puzzled. "But that was a ten-thousand-year soul ring, and an extremely rare Unicorn at that. How is the enhancement effect no better than an ordinary hundred-year soul ring?"

Ye Linyuan gave a bitter smile and shook his head. "The Unicorn's power was devoured by that gray current, used to activate the divine inheritance."

"Very little of the soul ring's energy was left for me, which is why the increase was so small."

"If I fuse higher-level soul rings in the future, this won't happen again."

"But it's not like I got nothing. The soul ring energy that cleanses the body and strengthens physical qualities—I absorbed all of that."

"I can feel that my strength and physical toughness have improved by a huge margin compared to before."

These were, of course, all excuses.

The Unicorn's soul ring energy had actually been completely devoured by Electrolux, used to nourish and restore fragments of his divine consciousness. That was why Ye Linyuan's soul power had only increased by so little.

Du Bùsǐ carefully examined Ye Linyuan's body and said in surprise, "Your physical qualities now probably surpass even an ordinary strong-attack-type Soul Grand Master. The improvement is indeed massive."

"Forget it. Trading a Unicorn's soul ring for a divine inheritance—no matter how you calculate it, it's not a loss."

Du Bùsǐ pondered for a moment, then continued, "However, since you've chosen the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as your main cultivation martial soul, we still need to find you another soul ring."

"With your current physical qualities, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's first soul ring should be able to go straight up to a thousand-year level."

"Heh, a thousand-year first soul ring—even Shrek, which claims to only accept monsters, couldn't find a freak this heaven-defying!"

Hearing this, Ye Linyuan's eyes also showed anticipation.

He had originally been prepared to develop quietly and cautiously.

But Electrolux's arrival had made him switch his main cultivation martial soul to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

With the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's ferocity, plus starting with a thousand-year first soul ring, his early combat power was bound to be among the very top on the entire continent!

Du Bùsǐ was decisive by nature and had top-tier cultivation.

With him helping Ye Linyuan hunt soul beasts, the efficiency was terrifyingly high.

In just a single hour, the two had found their target.

"Roar—!"

A massive tiger, over five meters in length, pitch-black with cyan and purple patterns covering its body, suddenly leaped out from the dense forest.

It stared fixedly at the old man and the youth before it.

Du Bùsǐ glanced at it, nodded in satisfaction, and said to Ye Linyuan:

"A Wind Thunder Demon Tiger. Legend says it's a sub-bloodline of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, possessing both wind and thunder attributes."

"Though its strength and bloodline level can't compare to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, it's still top-tier among tiger-type soul beasts."

"This one is just at the thousand-year level. Let's go with it. What do you think?"
