Super Ball, The Possibility of Capturing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

"Thorn Dragon!"

"This is a very rare Soul Beast. A ten-thousand-year-level Thorn Dragon—we've hit the jackpot!"

Lin Qingfeng was overjoyed. Ever since he learned that Lin Fan could craft Martial Souls and Soul Rings to make money, he looked at rare Soul Beasts as if they were glittering jewels.

"Indeed."

Lin Fan nodded. "If we can slay this Thorn Dragon, it will be perfect for my granddaughter's fourth Soul Ring!"

"Fourth Soul Ring? A ten-thousand-year Soul Beast?!"

As the words fell, everyone turned to look at Lin Fan with astonishment.

After all, according to common knowledge, the fourth Soul Ring should still belong to the thousand-year tier.

"Lin Fan..."

Dugu Yan said faintly, "Are you trying to get revenge on me?"

"Normally, a fourth Soul Ring can only absorb one around five thousand years old. However, since my granddaughter's Martial Soul evolved into a dragon-type, her physique has become much stronger. As the Thorn Dragon is also a dragon-type, the upper limit for her absorption is higher."

Lin Fan looked at Dugu Yan and said calmly, "A Thorn Dragon that has just reached ten thousand years is exactly what you can absorb. Besides, with my elder brother here, how could you possibly fail?"

Hearing this, Dugu Yan couldn't help but feel tempted.

A ten-thousand-year Soul Ring was definitely stronger than a thousand-year one!

She hadn't dared to think about it before, but Lin Fan's reasoning was sound. Now that she knew she could absorb a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, she naturally didn't want to settle for a thousand-year one.

"That's right, with me here, you have nothing to worry about."

Dugu Bo's voice rang out, and Dugu Yan and the others felt even more confident. Lin Qingfeng summoned his Sky Frost Sword, and a biting chill swept out as he charged toward the Thorn Dragon.

Lin Qingfeng already considered Dugu Yan his future daughter-in-law, so he drew his sword the moment he saw a suitable Soul Ring for her.

How could a Soul Beast that had only just reached ten thousand years stand a chance against a soon-to-be Soul Douluo? Coupled with the terrifying chill of the Sky Frost Sword, its entire body was frozen into an ice sculpture within a few breaths.

Not only that, but the cold air seeped through its body, continuously invading the Thorn Dragon's core, leaving it no chance to retaliate.

Dugu Yan didn't just stand by; seizing the opportunity, she quickly summoned her Jade Jade Dragon Martial Soul. Her dragon claws glowed with a verdant light as she pierced directly into the Thorn Dragon's body, her toxins draining its final hit points.

Poor Thorn Dragon—in front of a Soul Douluo, it was played with like a toy!

Hum—

A Soul Ring drifted out from the Thorn Dragon's body. Dugu Yan took a deep breath, steadied herself, and immediately began the absorption process.

Since it wasn't a Soul Ring purchased from Lin Fan, the process was not only difficult but exceptionally painful.

Glancing around, Lin Fan said, "Father, Aunt, you two stay here and keep watch. It's not too deep in, so I'll have my elder brother accompany me further inside."

"There are surely Thorn Dragons with higher cultivation years deeper in; I want to catch a few more."

"This?"

Lin Qingfeng looked up toward the sky.

"Very well."

Following Dugu Bo's voice, Lin Qingfeng nodded. "Alright, go ahead. I will look after Yan'er here."

Lin Fan ventured deeper on his own. Before long, Dugu Bo landed beside him and asked, "Are you not absorbing a second Soul Ring?"

"I haven't encountered a suitable one yet."

Lin Fan also wanted to obtain a second Soul Ring for his Poké Ball, but he hadn't come across any Soul Beasts that caught his eye along the way.

He didn't care about the age of the Soul Beasts he hunted; he only wanted rare ones with special effects.

"I'll have to trouble you to help me capture some Soul Beasts, Brother."

"No problem!"

To Dugu Bo, a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast was something he could handle with a flick of his hand. Lin Fan had not only cured his granddaughter but was also the one who would eventually purge the toxins from his own body—how could he be anything but diligent?

In no time, wherever Lin Fan went, ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts couldn't resist and fell to the ground, poisoned.

All Lin Fan had to do was keep throwing his Poké Balls!

Hum—

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Crisp sounds echoed as one ten-thousand-year Soul Beast after another—Ghost Tigers, Heavy Armored Insect Kings, Demon Underworld Deer, Ghost Vines, and even a Man Faced Demon Spider—were captured.

With this, the previous thousand-year Soul Beast groups gradually faded into the background, eventually being sold off as Martial Souls or Soul Rings.

What surprised Lin Fan the most was capturing a twenty-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and a fifteen-thousand-year Emerald Swan!

The Emerald Swan was of the same species as Bi Ji, possessing the strongest healing abilities. With it, Lin Fan would essentially have a support unit whenever he commanded Soul Beasts in battle, exponentially increasing the combat power of all his Soul Beasts.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the Host for successfully capturing ten ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts. The Poké Ball has evolved into a Super Ball! After this evolution, the Host can craft one Super Ball every month! The Super Ball has a 100% success rate for capture and can be used on Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, ignoring their current status!]

"!!!"

The Poké Ball had successfully evolved, and its effects filled Lin Fan with joy.

He could finally craft Super Balls!

Furthermore, the Super Balls did not disappoint him; not only was the success rate one hundred percent, but they could even be used on Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts!

In that case, couldn't he go directly to capture the Sky Azure Bull Python or the Titan?

No!

Lin Fan quickly calmed down. Although the capture could succeed, just like in Pokemon or Roco Kingdom, one's own level needed to reach a certain threshold to command the target in battle after a successful capture.

Otherwise, even if the captured Soul Beast could not cause him harm, it would not obey his commands.

In other words, the Super Ball was only effective on Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts that were traveling alone!

After capturing one, even if it didn't listen, he could still summon it to intimidate others.

Moreover, if Lin Fan were to die, those Soul Beasts would also perish.

After all, this was not a game; when it truly came to a critical moment, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would still fight for Lin Fan!

[I must find a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast traveling alone...]

Lin Fan pondered in his heart, wondering which unlucky fellow would be the best choice.

"Hmm?!"

"This is bad, there are powerful Soul Beasts fighting ahead!"

Just as Lin Fan was deep in thought, Dugu Bo's expression suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice, "We must leave quickly. Those two beasts should both be Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. I can only protect myself; I cannot guarantee your safety!"

Hearing that they were Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, Lin Fan's face immediately lit up with joy, though it was a pity there were two of them.

However, if he sat back and reaped the rewards, could he successfully subdue one?

But for now, he still had to retreat a bit. After all, even if he manifested a Super Ball, he could only capture one Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and it would be difficult for Dugu Bo to deal with the other one alone. He would have to wait until they had fought to the point of mutual exhaustion.

"Let's go!"

Lin Fan and Dugu Bo retreated rapidly, but at that very moment, a white light suddenly flickered beneath the ground, carrying a hint of chill as it surged directly into Lin Fan's body.

"Hehe, I've finally encountered a human with a spiritual attribute! It really makes me, ah no, it really makes this beast excited!"

(PS: Rest assured, there will be Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, and there will be Million-Year ones too! The original Douluo Dalu 1 did not have characters from the second installment because the author wasn't planning to write the second one at the time. Otherwise, how could it be? In the same forest, there are only so many kings, and the Ten Great Fierce Beasts would definitely clash, so some characters will appear! Of course, factions like the Sun-Moon Empire won't appear because they haven't collided yet and are too far away.)
