First Soul Skill: Elementalization

The shrunken Golden Lion lay on Tang Heng's palm, belly-up with all four paws in the air, enjoying its master's petting.

Wu Qingfeng and the others nearby were already staring in dumbfounded silence.

The Golden Lion, which had been so arrogant and aloof just moments ago, acting like a noble of the soul beasts, was now behaving exactly like a pet.

Why were you so reserved for three years in Star Luo?

The Spirit Master complained inwardly.

Wu Qingfeng felt slightly better, though; after all, it was a Golden Dragon martial soul, and legend had it that the bloodline of the Dragon King flowed through its veins.

The dragon was the symbol of an emperor! Among soul beasts, the dragon clan was the pinnacle of existence, so it was understandable that this thousand-year-old Golden Lion would choose to submit to Tang Heng.

It was just like his good sister-in-law, who would often visit late at night to discuss the mysteries of martial souls and life with him...

Cough, cough, cough, my mind is wandering.

"The money has been transferred, so we'll be taking our leave now."

"Take care, Principal Wu. And you, little genius, you're welcome to come back anytime."

Tang Heng nodded, then followed behind Wu Qingfeng out of the Spirit Pagoda.

After the two left, the Spirit Master hurriedly reported everything that had just happened to the branch tower master.

Eastsea City, Spirit Pagoda conference hall.

Qin Feng looked at the intelligence report on Tang Heng sent by his subordinate via the communicator; even with his level of experience, he couldn't help but marvel at the child's high aptitude.

If he could pull Tang Heng into the Spirit Pagoda, perhaps he wouldn't have to stay in that small place called Proud Arrival City during the next selection assembly.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng raised his head to look at the red-haired woman in the main seat.

That peerless face was enough to topple kingdoms, and her arrogant temperament was like a phoenix living in the world.

Leng Yaomo, the Sky Phoenix Douluo, Vice Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda.

The auras surrounding her were countless.

If it weren't for the latest development plan file issued by headquarters today, Qin Feng might never have had the chance to see this Sky Phoenix Douluo in his entire life.

Looking at the intelligence in his hand, a flash of determination crossed Qin Feng's eyes.

After returning to the academy, Tang Heng thanked Principal Wu and went back to his class for lessons.

As the first student in the entire first grade to possess a Soul Spirit, Tang Heng naturally attracted countless curious gazes. By the time class ended, the Class One classroom was almost packed with onlookers.

Tang Heng was still wondering how this group of children had found out about his trip to the Spirit Pagoda today, when he saw Tang Wulin already sitting outside, collecting fees.

It wasn't until lunch that Tang Heng used the excuse of eating to escape the classroom.

He didn't forget to drag the "culprit" of all this along with him as he ran.

"Ow, ow, ow! Brother, take it easy, don't pull my ear."

Tang Wulin clutched his left ear, looking at him pitifully.

Tang Heng put his hands on his hips and said irritably, "Why did you spread the word about me buying a Soul Spirit? Everyone ran over to see me today, making me feel like a monkey in a zoo."

"I'm sorry, Brother, I just wanted to earn some pocket money."

"Everyone had never seen a Soul Spirit before, so I told them about you, but I charged ten dollars for a ticket to see it once."

Tang Wulin stuck out his tongue, then pulled a stack of Federation coins from his bag and said, "I know I was wrong, Brother. You can take all this money."

Tang Heng shook his head, sighing helplessly, "I'm glad you have this business acumen, but why are you thinking about earning money right now?"

Tang Wulin's eyes darted around as he stammered, "I... I saw that your birthday is next month, Brother, so I wanted to earn some money to buy you a birthday present."

"Also, I want to become a powerful soul master like you! To protect Mom, Dad, and Na'er, so I want to be self-reliant and save up to buy a Soul Spirit, so I don't add to your burden."

Tang Heng felt a warmth in his heart. Perhaps because he was a transmigrator, Tang Wulin's personality was even better than in the original story.

He truly couldn't bear to watch Tang Wulin turn into an enemy of the Tang God King in the future.

"Keep this money. Brother is very happy that you have the intention to be self-reliant, but this money-making scheme won't last long. In a couple of days, once the novelty wears off, no one will pay to see me anymore."

Tang Heng rubbed Tang Wulin's head and said earnestly, "You have great strength; why don't you try blacksmithing?"

"Blacksmithing?"

Tang Wulin tilted his head, his little face full of confusion.

Tang Heng briefly introduced what blacksmithing was and mentioned Uncle Mang Tian. Being clever from a young age, Tang Wulin quickly understood and digested the information.

"When we go back today, I'll ask Dad to say a word so he can take you to visit Uncle Mang Tian. Once you become a blacksmith, you can earn your own money."

"Yay! ヾ(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ"

Watching Tang Wulin spinning around in excitement, Tang Heng could only smile helplessly and found a random excuse to let him go to the cafeteria to eat by himself.

After Tang Wulin left, he found a small grove nearby to hide in, then entered the MC plane.

Unlike before, he suddenly received a message upon entering the plane this time.

[Soul Spirit: Golden Lion requests to join]

Hmm? So, sentient beings require my permission to enter the Minecraft plane.

Perhaps it is because I am the host?

Tang Heng did not overthink it; a Soul Spirit would not betray him, and he was unsure of the consequences should he refuse the Golden Lion's entry, so he approved the request.

[Please select the spawn point for 'Soul Spirit: Golden Lion']

To think I can even edit the spawn point—this permission of mine is quite extensive.

It is a pity there is no dialogue box; otherwise, I would certainly test if I could switch to Creative Mode.

Since he was in the Overworld, he naturally set the Golden Lion's spawn point to the Overworld.

The Golden Lion Soul Spirit appeared abruptly beside Tang Heng.

"There, there. Once I attach the first Soul Ring to my Silver Dragon King Martial Soul, I will take you to the Spirit Ascension Platform."

The Golden Lion sprinted across the grass, frolicking with joy.

Seeing her act this way, Tang Heng felt quite helpless.

When they first met, the Golden Lion was like an elegant and noble lady, maintaining her reserve and pride even while trapped within the machine.

However, upon merging with him, the Golden Lion sensed the Gold and Silver Dragon King Martial Souls within him, as well as the faint trace of nine-colored Dragon God soul power he had just condensed.

One moment she was a noble lady, the next she was "oh-ho-ho-ho-ing."

Grabbing the Nameless Blade: Puppet he crafted yesterday, he selected the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest on the map and began searching for a suitable Soul Beast to provide a Soul Ring for his second Martial Soul.

His luck was good today; he encountered a thousand-year Rainbow Dragon as soon as he arrived.

Rainbow Dragons are not common; they are considered rare among the dragon race and generally appear as dragon mothers.

They can also control multiple elements and are of the dragon race, making one perfectly suited to be his first Soul Ring.

Tang Heng shifted his form; his silver hair drifted, his figure became more slender, and the surrounding elements gathered toward him as if sensing their master.

"Dominator Domain, activate!"

As an auxiliary soul skill of his third Martial Soul, he could use it regardless of which form he was currently in.

It was a battle without suspense. The Rainbow Dragon did not possess strong combat power to begin with, and against a Silver Dragon King who had activated the Dominator Domain, it would be a miracle if it survived three strikes.

After the absorption was complete, his Soul Power Level reached sixteen.

The first soul skill the Rainbow Dragon bestowed upon him was called Elementalization.

By consuming soul power after activating the skill, he could transform his body into basic elemental energy, thereby evading physical damage, while simultaneously increasing the power of corresponding elements by thirty-five percent while in the Elementalization state.
