Dejin Magic

"Doudou's physical constitution is simply monstrous!"

Zhang Lexuan's beautiful eyes widened as if she had seen something inconceivable.

"Is that for real?"

Ma Xiaotao walked forward, half-doubting.

But when she pressed her hand against him, her eyes instantly widened.

Is this level of bone density really something a six-year-old Soul Master should have?

Even a Soul Grand Master might not have such a robust physique; it was almost catching up to her own.

One had to remember, she was a Soul Elder.

Ma Xiaotao stared straight at Chen Doudou, holding back for a long time before finally blurting out, "Doudou, you really are a freak!"

These words immediately piqued the curiosity of the others.

Could a Soul Master's body really be enough to shock the two of you this much?

One of the lean-built senior students couldn't help but ask, "Xiaotao, what exactly is going on?"

Ma Xiaotao smiled bitterly. "Have you ever seen a Soul Master whose body is almost on par with a Soul Elder's?"

"How is that possible?! How could a healing-type Soul Master have such a strong physique?"

The lean senior was stunned, and wanting to see for himself, he reached out to press his hand on him.

However, Chen Doudou turned his body and nimbly dodged.

Chen Doudou rolled his eyes. "Do you think I'm merchandise? Touching me whenever you want."

He could let it slide if a girl touched him.

But a guy touching him? He couldn't accept that at all; he wasn't gay.

The lean senior retracted his hand awkwardly and had no choice but to turn to Zhang Lexuan. "Senior Sister, why don't you explain what's going on?"

"Xiaotao is right. Doudou's body is indeed comparable to a Soul Elder's. He might even be able to absorb a thousand-year soul ring as his first."

Zhang Lexuan nodded.

A collective gasp of cold air echoed through the scene.

A thousand-year first soul ring?

One had to know that even for genius Soul Masters with Beast Souls who had tempered their bodies since childhood and consumed various body-strengthening medicines, the absolute limit for a first soul ring was only around six or seven hundred years.

And that was not even considering he was an auxiliary-type Soul Master!

If the person saying this hadn't been Zhang Lexuan, they wouldn't have believed it even if they were beaten to death.

Following this, under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Zhang Lexuan began to analyze, "The life energy of Doudou's Martial Soul is very unique; it must be a mutated Martial Soul. I speculate that during the mutation, life energy flooded back into his body, allowing Doudou's physique to be significantly enhanced."

Hearing this, the crowd finally dispelled the doubts in their hearts.

After all, there were too many uncontrollable factors when it came to Martial Soul mutation.

If it weren't for this reason, they couldn't think of any other reasonable explanation.

"Everyone, remember, do not tell outsiders about today's events... As for you, Xiaotao, uh, never mind."

Zhang Lexuan said with a solemn expression.

Ma Xiaotao looked at her with resentful eyes. "Senior Sister..."

Why single her out?

"Yes!"

Seeing this scene, the others held back their laughter and responded in unison.

"Alright, since there are no more questions, let's set off."

Zhang Lexuan ignored Ma Xiaotao's resentment and gave the order to depart.

Ma Xiaotao: "..."

Damn it!!!

"Whoosh~~~"

A heavily injured Healing Pegasus galloped past the forest stream, leaving a trail of blood wherever it passed.

A Death Demon Spider followed unhurriedly behind, toying with its prey like a cat playing with a mouse.

But the next instant.

The heavily injured Healing Pegasus was firmly pinned to the ground by a fair palm.

Even as it struggled with all its might, it could not break free from the restraint.

"Get lost!"

Zhang Lexuan let out a cold shout, seven soul rings rose abruptly, and a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the surroundings.

The Death Demon Spider was scared out of its wits, scrambling and tumbling as it fled deep into the dense forest.

After judging its age, Zhang Lexuan spoke up: "Doudou, come over and kill it. This Healing Pegasus is right around 1,700 years old, perfectly suited for you to absorb."

Meanwhile, in the God Realm.

The Asura God watched this scene, beaming with delight: "Yes, yes, yes, that's it! Kill this soul beast, Doudou!"

"As long as he kills this soul beast, Doudou will surely awaken the killing instinct buried deep in the bones of our God of Evil Thoughts' descendant."

The Rakshasa God was also overjoyed, exclaiming excitedly: "Wonderful! Doudou is finally getting on the right track!"

The God of Destruction remained silent.

Would Doudou really awaken his killing instinct because of this?

If that were the case, wouldn't there be one more deity in the future destined to oppose him?

However, Chen Doudou merely glanced at it and shook his head: "No."

Ma Xiaotao assumed he didn't understand what this soul beast was and explained: "Doudou, have you lost your mind? This is a Healing Pegasus, one of the top-tier soul beasts that healing-type soul masters dream of. It's more than enough to serve as your first soul ring."

"I never said it wasn't suitable to be my soul ring."

Chen Doudou curled his lip.

"Then why..." Before Ma Xiaotao could finish her sentence, she witnessed a scene she would never forget for the rest of her life.

Chen Doudou walked slowly up to the Pegasus, gently stroking its damp mane, his voice as tender as if he were coaxing an injured child: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I won't kill you."

Incredibly.

The Pegasus, which had been struggling frantically just moments ago, actually calmed down.

"This... what is happening?!"

Someone gasped in shock.

Immediately after, Chen Doudou raised his right hand, and the Life Rakshasa Holy Scythe emerged, its emerald light rippling outward like water.

Then, under the astonished gazes of everyone present, he said softly: "Life Return!"

This was an innate ability of his martial soul, capable of bestowing the life energy accumulated by the martial soul onto others.

Commonly known as Dejin Magic.

As a mass of emerald life energy surged into the horse's body.

Its complexion improved at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its physical injuries healed as if they had never existed in the blink of an eye.

The Healing Pegasus stood back up, looking at the human before it in disbelief, and affectionately nuzzled against him.

"Hahaha, stop that, stop that! It tickles!"

Chen Doudou laughed heartily as it nudged him.

After a while, he patted the horse's leg: "Alright, since you're fine now, hurry up and go."

This scene left everyone completely dumbfounded.

Ma Xiaotao walked over anxiously: "Doudou! Have you gone mad? It's one thing not to hunt the soul beast, but you actually healed it? Don't you want a soul ring anymore?"

Hearing this, the Healing Pegasus looked at Ma Xiaotao with hostility, then looked toward Chen Doudou in anticipation.

Chen Doudou smiled brightly: "Just because I healed it doesn't mean I don't want a soul ring."

He had always felt that the cultivation system of the Douluo Continent was distorted; the growth rate of soul beasts was too slow, and sooner or later, they would be slaughtered to extinction.

When that time came, what would become of humanity?

Besides, obtaining a soul ring didn't necessarily require hunting soul beasts.

Upon hearing this, the Healing Pegasus could hardly believe its ears, and it began to size up Chen Doudou.

In his clear eyes, there was no concealment or evasion—only sincerity!

Soul beasts were extremely sensitive to emotions.

The Healing Pegasus could be certain that he truly did not want to kill it.

"Doudou, aren't you being a bit too kind?"

Ma Xiaotao held her forehead and sighed.

Zhang Lexuan, standing nearby, also furrowed her delicate brows as she walked over: "Doudou, this world is cruel. If you don't kill soul beasts, how will you become stronger?"

"Of course there are other ways."

Chen Doudou smiled. A God-Bestowed Soul Ring might be precious to others, but to him, it was nothing.

As he finished speaking, he continued to pat the Healing Pegasus, wanting it to leave.

Zhang Lexuan was left completely bewildered. What other ways?

However, the Healing Pegasus did not leave just yet.

It let out a soft cry toward him.

Chen Doudou scratched his head lightly: "Are you saying you want me to wait?"

He had learned the language of beasts in the God Realm and could understand the Healing Pegasus.

The Healing Pegasus lowered its head and gently nudged his palm, as if nodding.

He waved at the Pegasus, "Alright, I'll wait for you right here. You must come back soon."

With that, the Healing Pegasus vanished into the forest at an incredible speed.

Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but pinch his cheek, sighing helplessly, "Doudou, oh Doudou, what am I supposed to say to you? Do you really believe it will come back?"

"Humans and soul beasts can never coexist peacefully! Even if you healed it, the next time you meet, it might just bring other soul beasts to attack you!"

"Then let's wait and see."

Zhang Lexuan walked over to a flat boulder and sat down, a hint of curiosity in her brow, "I, too, would like to see if it keeps its word."

A quarter of an hour later.

"Clatter, clatter, clatter!"

A series of rapid hoofbeats rang out, the violent vibrations making it feel as though the entire earth were trembling.
