"!!!"
Hearing that slightly annoying voice and those words, Lin Fan couldn't help but think of one person.
Huo Yuhao!
If he remembered correctly, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had said exactly this when he first met Huo Yuhao.
Could it be that he had snatched Huo Yuhao's golden finger?
According to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, he had tried to escape before meeting Huo Yuhao but had never succeeded, most likely because he hadn't encountered a spirit-type Soul Master.
And while his own awakened Martial Soul was a Poké Ball, the soul power brought over from his transmigration seemed to have caused the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to misunderstand his talent!
Of course, Lin Fan wouldn't tell the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm any of this; he was desperate for the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to become his Soul Ring!
After all, no matter how much of a "trash" the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm might be, it was still a Million-Year Soul Beast!
If he used the Evolution Light to upgrade it, the benefits—whether it was the direct boost to Lin Fan or the changes to the Soul Ring—would certainly be better than any ordinary Soul Beast.
Most importantly, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had lived for a long time, knew many things, and could seal its own power within the Martial Soul, allowing the Soul Ring to become even more terrifying as his Soul Power Level increased.
A single Soul Ring that possessed multiple soul skills!
Therefore, Lin Fan would absolutely not mind letting the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm become his Soul Ring.
No sooner said than done; just as the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm surged into Lin Fan's body, Dugu Bo had already carried Lin Fan far away from the site where the battle had erupted.
Stopping in his tracks, Dugu Bo was just about to speak when he noticed something wrong with Lin Fan.
Inside Lin Fan's body, there was an extremely vast aura that even made him feel terrified!
Not only that, but a phantom of a snow-white ice silkworm appeared on the surface of Lin Fan's body, lingering around him.
"Hmm? Absorbing a Soul Ring?"
Seeing this scene, Dugu Bo couldn't help but freeze in place. What was going on? He hadn't even hunted a silkworm-type Soul Beast, so how was Lin Fan absorbing a Martial Soul?
At the same time, in the depths of Lin Fan's mind, the phantom of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had already emerged.
It was a chubby silkworm, entirely silver-white, flashing a pair of golden eyes. On its body, a circle of golden patterns appeared at regular intervals.
"Little guy, why aren't you surprised to see Brother?"
Noticing that Lin Fan's emotions were calm, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm couldn't help but feel suspicious. After all, in its experience, humans should have never seen a Soul Beast like it before.
"Why should I be surprised? Since you took the initiative to speak, it means you aren't here to harm me, but rather want to become my Soul Ring. Why wouldn't I be happy about that?"
"..."
Lin Fan's words immediately left the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm stunned.
This was completely different from what it had imagined!
In its imagination, as a Million-Year Soul Beast suddenly descending to become a human's Soul Ring, the human should have been moved to tears of gratitude!
Or, if they were ignorant, they should have been intimidated by "Brother" into acting like a well-behaved baby!
Meeting Lin Fan, why did it feel like a sheep walking into a tiger's den?
"Aren't you curious about what kind of existence I am?"
"Aren't you curious if I can make you stronger?"
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"No need."
Lin Fan said calmly, "My talent is extraordinary. No matter what kind of Soul Beast you are, from now on, you will only be enjoying the good life by following me!"
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was completely bewildered. Wait, wasn't that line supposed to be said by Brother?
How did it come out of the mouth of this human in front of him?
And his words were filled with such confidence!
Oh no, could it be that Brother has become the substitute?
Without waiting for the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to speak again, Lin Fan said leisurely, "There are still Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts fighting nearby. Do you want to become my Soul Ring or not? If not, I'm leaving!"
Lin Fan knew that the reason the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm wanted to become a Soul Ring was to escape the Soul Beasts that were draining its power. Having finally encountered a suitable Soul Master, it certainly wouldn't want to miss this chance.
"Hmph, you brat, consider yourself lucky today to have met Brother!"
"Looking at your Soul Power, you're only at level twenty or thirty. I'll seal my power so I don't blow you up!"
As the voice fell, the phantom transformed by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm vanished, instantly turning into pure energy that surged violently into Lin Fan's body.
Hum—
In an instant, the Poké Ball Martial Soul emerged, pulling all of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's power toward it and directly transforming it into a brilliant golden Soul Ring.
A peculiar ripple spread out. The Soul Ring was successfully absorbed. Lin Fan opened his eyes and smiled as he looked at the panel that appeared before him.
[Host: Lin Fan] [Soul Power: Level 30 (Soul Power Level can only continue to increase after absorbing the third Soul Ring)] [Martial Soul: Super Poké Ball]
[Soul Ring: Demon Eye Magic Tree, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm]
[Soul Skills: First Soul Skill Mental Shock, Second Soul Skill Mental Detection, Mental Sharing, Mental Interference, Mental Impact, Life Reflection Shield]
[...]
One has to admit, a million-year soul ring is truly formidable; it granted Lin Fan a full five soul skills at once!
Tsk tsk, could it be that I've snatched Huo Gua's golden finger? It's a pity the era is different, otherwise, Electrolux would be mine too!
Ever since arriving on the Douluo Continent, Lin Fan had become increasingly like his charming ancestor; if something was good, it had to be his!
It was fortunate that this was a fantasy world where strength reigned supreme; otherwise, Lin Fan would have wanted to unify the entire continent!
"..."
Light and shadow flickered as the phantom of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm emerged. It looked at the brilliant golden ring, then at the Poké Ball, and was completely stunned.
It had intended to find a spirit-type Soul Master to reside within, to lead him to greatness and soar to new heights, so why was reality so different?
Could this little guy before him, who appeared to have only twenty or thirty levels of soul power, actually withstand all of its power?
"You... what kind of monster are you?!"
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was incredibly shocked and couldn't help but blurt out the question.
Its speech caused Dugu Bo's pupils to constrict violently.
A talking soul ring?
Soul rings were supposed to be formed after a soul beast died and was absorbed; their life and consciousness should have perished, so how could it still speak?
Not only that, but the shocked words of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm proved that it still possessed thoughts and emotions!
For a moment, both the million-year soul beast, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and the Title Douluo, Dugu Bo, gazed at Lin Fan with eyes full of astonishment.
"Keep it low-key, it's just a basic operation, no need to be surprised."
Lin Fan said softly, "This is a Soul Spirit, a soul ring with sentience. It can not only provide a Soul Master with multiple soul skills but can even use soul power to fight, exerting its former strength."
Rolling his eyes, Lin Fan looked at Dugu Bo and said in a low voice, "Brother, we don't need to run anymore. Let's go back and see which two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts are fighting. When they are both battered and exhausted, I... might be able to capture a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"
Before absorbing the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Lin Fan would certainly have stayed far away from two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts locked in combat, but now, with the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Dugu Bo, he could easily approach those two beasts without being discovered!
Once the right moment arrived, even a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would fall into Lin Fan's hands!
