Capture the Second Contracted Beast -- Xiao Wu

Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists, his tone confident and firm.

"Li Luo and Tang San, I must take them as my disciples. To think that a tiny place like Nuoding City would produce two Twin Martial Souls at the same time—truly, the heavens are blessing me, Yu Xiaogang!"

"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Martial Soul Hall, you cast me out back then. Once the disciples I train become renowned powerhouses across the Douluo Continent, I will make you pay for your short-sightedness."

After dealing with that group of noble students, the academy life of Li Luo and Tang San returned to its day-to-day cycle.

Li Luo continued to spend his days immersed in the library, while Tang San spent his time toiling away at the blacksmith shop.

But good times never last. One morning, as Li Luo and Tang San were heading to the cafeteria after practicing their Purple Demon Eye, they were intercepted by an uninvited guest.

This person was none other than Yu Xiaogang. Having observed them for a long time, he had finally mapped out their daily routines. Since he could never find them at any other time, he chose to stake out the cafeteria entrance at this hour.

Yu Xiaogang blocked their path.

"Li Luo, Tang San, right? I see you both have remarkable bone structures and extraordinary talent. I have come specifically to take you as my disciples today. You are both rare geniuses with Twin Martial Souls, and your martial souls are both Blue Silver Grass. I am the renowned master of theory in the soul master world, Yu Xiaogang. No one understands how to cultivate Twin Martial Souls better than I do."

"Get lost!"

Li Luo had no interest in dealing with the posturing Yu Xiaogang and walked straight past him.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang reached out to grab Li Luo's arm, but Tang San, standing beside him, raised his leg and kicked, sending Yu Xiaogang flying backward.

"Ouch, my poor back!"

By the time Yu Xiaogang scrambled up from the ground, Li Luo and Tang San were long gone.

For the next few days, Yu Xiaogang persistently harassed them. Unable to stand it any longer, Li Luo finally struck a bit too hard, leaving Yu Xiaogang bedridden for two and a half months.

Yet, Yu Xiaogang refused to give up. Changing his strategy, he took the unprecedented step of volunteering to teach classes, hoping to use the opportunity to spread his "invincible" theories to Li Luo and Tang San.

Unfortunately, Li Luo was not the type of obedient student to follow a curriculum.

He spent his time in the library or sparring with Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Yu Xiaogang had no chance to spread his theories, and fearing another beating, he finally gave up on approaching them directly.

Before they knew it, a year and a half had passed. Li Luo's Soul Power Level had reached level 20, allowing him to capture his second spirit.

And the best choice for a spirit was, of course, Xiao Wu.

One evening, Li Luo called Xiao Wu out of the dormitory.

"Brother Luo, why did you call me out so late? And in such a secluded corner, too. It's the dead of night—you aren't planning on doing anything bad to me, are you?"

Being summoned so abruptly, Xiao Wu's mind raced with all sorts of lewd thoughts.

But Li Luo had no such intentions.

He was only seven and a half years old; what could he possibly be thinking? He felt absolutely no interest in Xiao Wu, who was also only seven and a half.

"What are you thinking about?"

Li Luo tapped Xiao Wu on the head with a moderate amount of force.

"Hiss! Brother Luo, you hurt me!"

Xiao Wu cried out in pain, complaining coquettishly that Li Luo was too heavy-handed and didn't know how to cherish a girl.

"Enough nonsense! I called you here this late to give you an opportunity."

"What kind of opportunity?"

Xiao Wu asked curiously.

"Watch closely!"

"It's you, Haji Wu, come on in!"

Li Luo summoned his martial soul, the Prism Ball, and tossed it toward Xiao Wu.

The Prism Ball flew above Xiao Wu, releasing a beam of prismatic light that enveloped her.

Xiao Wu's figure turned into a streak of colorful light and entered the Prism Ball.

"Hum! Hum! Ding!"

As the Prism Ball emitted a crisp sound, a notification appeared in Li Luo's mind.

[Capture Successful: Prism Xiao Wu]
[Spirit Level: 15]
[Current Maximum Obedience Level: 30]

At this moment, a second soul ring began to condense around Li Luo.

White.

Yellow.

In the end, the color of the soul ring settled on yellow. After all, Xiao Wu was usually too lazy and slack in her cultivation, spending her days eating, drinking, and playing, so she only provided Li Luo with a Century Soul Ring of about 700 years.

Now, Li Luo possessed two soul rings: purple and yellow.

They were provided by Tang San and Xiao Wu, respectively.

Once one becomes a soul master, as long as one is willing to work hard, one can solve financial pressures even without collecting the monthly soul master subsidy from Martial Soul Hall. Every so often, Li Luo and Tang San would take part-time jobs with soul hunting groups to help others hunt for soul rings.

The remuneration from part-time jobs and the income from selling Soul Beast carcasses allowed Li Luo and Tang San to accumulate quite a bit of wealth, which was more than enough to cover their cultivation expenses at this stage.

With financial support, Tang San's cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, and his Soul Power Level had already reached level 19.

Consequently, the first Soul Ring on Li Luo that represented Tang San also advanced into a Thousand-Year Soul Ring. This meant that Tang San's current physical constitution had reached the level required for a Thousand-Year Soul Ring, making it possible for him to achieve a thousand-year second ring.

After successfully capturing Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu's Martial Soul also completed its evolution simultaneously. Now, Xiao Wu's Martial Soul was no longer the ordinary Soft Bone Charm Rabbit, but the Soft Bone Charming Jade Rabbit.

Li Luo summoned the Soft Bone Charming Jade Rabbit Martial Soul and unleashed Xiao Wu's first soul skill—Waist Bow.

He lifted his leg and kicked out into the air.

"BOOM!"

This kick directly created a sonic boom.

Li Luo was very satisfied with Xiao Wu's Martial Soul, because in the future, once Xiao Wu condensed the top-tier life-saving soul skill, Invincible Golden Body, Li Luo would possess it as well.

"Come out, Haji Wu!"

Li Luo intended to release Xiao Wu.

The Prism Ball was tossed into the air, a beam of colorful light flashed, and Xiao Wu appeared.

At this moment, Xiao Wu's braid was tinged with color, and as her pupils looked at Li Luo, heart shapes appeared within them.

"Brother Luo, I feel like I'm filled with power!"

Li Luo had now condensed his second soul ring and advanced to a Soul Grand Master; his current Soul Power Level was 21, so in her Prism state, Xiao Wu received a 21 percent boost to all attributes.

"Brother Luo, how did you suddenly get a second soul ring?"

Xiao Wu looked at the extra second soul ring on Li Luo with some confusion, a guess rising in her heart.

Could it be that Brother Luo is also a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who took human form to recultivate? Otherwise, why would he be able to condense soul rings on his own?

Could it be that Brother Luo quietly called me out tonight because he wants to confess his identity to me?

Xiao Wu did not intend to expose Li Luo's little secret, choosing instead to wait for him to speak first.

But Li Luo did not respond to Xiao Wu, simply pulling her along as he prepared to return to Dorm Seven.

Ah? You should be the one to speak up; do you really expect a girl like me to make the first move?

Xiao Wu complained internally, but she didn't hesitate with her actions, immediately executing a scissor-leg takedown to lock her legs around Li Luo's neck.

Li Luo was caught off guard and was suddenly brought down to the ground by Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu, what are you doing?"

Xiao Wu revealed a smile of successful scheming.

"Brother Luo, hehehe!"
