There's Still Delivery!

Columbina's response caused Xu Tianming to gasp in shock.

Full-map vision! Available across the entire continent!

Doesn't this mean he essentially possesses a high-definition satellite that no one else can attack?

However, now is not the time to dwell on this.

Any soul beast that Columbina takes the initiative to point out is unlikely to be weak, though he has no idea what species it is or what its attributes might be.

After his consciousness returned to his body, he saw that Kong Deming had not noticed anything unusual, so Xu Tianming simply pointed toward the northwest.

"Uncle, I just suddenly felt that a soul beast is approaching our position from this direction."

As soon as these words left his mouth, Kong Deming froze for a moment before looking in the direction Xu Tianming was pointing and projecting his spiritual power outward.

Then, his expression instantly turned solemn.

There really was a soul beast approaching!

And it was a ten-thousand-year Magic Flame Wolf at that!

Judging by its size and emotional state, it seemed to be a blood relative of the two-thousand-year Magic Flame Wolf he had already suppressed.

This is a good thing!

He had been wondering where to go to help his nephew hunt a ten-thousand-year soul beast with suitable age and attributes, but he never expected his luck today to be so good that a "delivery" would come right to his doorstep!

When Xu Tianming successfully withstood the spiritual shock of a ten-thousand-year soul beast and remained unharmed, Kong Deming had already decided that his nephew's second soul ring could absorb a ten-thousand-year ring.

Even if his physical constitution was slightly lacking at the moment, it wouldn't matter; once they returned to Ming Capital, he could arrange for a series of rare treasures to strengthen him.

In any case, he carried a soul tool capable of storing soul rings, so as long as he stored the ring, it could be retrieved and absorbed at any time in the future.

A ten-thousand-year Magic Flame Wolf could certainly be called an overlord of the outer region of the Evil Demon Forest, but unfortunately, facing Kong Deming, the continent's number one soul master who was already prepared, its fate was destined to be tragic.

Just as the Magic Flame Wolf sensed the aura of its cub and accelerated its sprint, a giant net appeared in front of it without any warning.

Although its reaction speed was fast, the net was faster, and the moment it was enveloped, the ten-thousand-year Magic Flame Wolf completely lost the ability to resist.

"Heh, it is your honor to be treated by this level-eight soul tool, the Heavenly Net, you beast."

Although Xu Tianming had never worried about being hurt by this ten-thousand-year Magic Flame Wolf, Kong Deming's methods still shocked him slightly.

"Uncle, when did you set up this soul tool? I don't think I saw you move just now."

Seeing that his monster of a nephew could actually be shocked by him, Kong Deming felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

After a faint laugh, he answered in a calm tone.

"This Heavenly Net is a level-eight soul tool I refined in my early years. To distinguish it from the military's standard equipment, this soul tool is primarily driven by spiritual power. With just a single thought, the net moves accordingly, allowing it to catch enemies off guard in battle. The only pity is that its upper limit is not high; it is basically useless against Title Douluo-level powerhouses or soul beasts with over one hundred thousand years of cultivation."

Hearing Kong Deming say this, Xu Tianming immediately grabbed his right hand with a grin.

"Uncle, since you don't use this soul tool anymore, can you give it to me?"

Although Kong Deming had already intended to do so, he still asked one more question.

"Oh? What do you want this thing for?"

"Uncle, you just said this soul tool can catch enemies off guard in battle. With this for protection, you can rest easier when I go out to train in the future, right?"

"Good, good, good! You brat, once we extract the soul ring from this Magic Flame Wolf, I will give you this soul tool as a gift to celebrate your successful martial soul awakening today!"

"Yay! Thank you, Uncle!"

Unlike the harmony between the uncle and nephew, the ten-thousand-year Magic Flame Wolf bound by the Heavenly Net let out a painful howl upon seeing its cub suppressed and unable to move a muscle on the other side.

Hearing the call of its kin, the two-thousand-year-old Magic Flame Wolf twisted its head and let out a mournful cry in response.

Perhaps knowing that their remaining time was short, their wails showed no sign of stopping, and the sounds only grew louder.

However, doing so would only hasten their deaths.

Having his peaceful atmosphere interrupted, a flash of anger appeared in Kong Deming's eyes. "Noisy beasts! You are courting death!"

The moment the words fell, a terrifying pressure of soul power descended instantly. The wails of the two Magic Flame Wolves stopped abruptly; they couldn't even make a sound, let alone move a claw.

"Tianming, go give them a quick end."

Although he knew these two Magic Flame Wolves were blood relatives, Xu Tianming felt not a shred of pity.

The law of this world is just like that: the weak are prey to the strong. The relationship between soul masters and soul beasts is destined to be a life-or-death struggle from birth. Wasting emotions on soul beasts that lack intelligence and act only on instinct is not kindness, but stupidity.

As a transmigrator, the only act of kindness Xu Tianming could offer was to give them a quick end, letting the pair of kin depart together.

Seeing his nephew finish off the two soul beasts cleanly and efficiently with "Judgment," Kong Deming took out the soul tool capable of storing soul rings and absorbed both the black and purple rings.

Just as the two were preparing to pack up and leave the Evil Demon Forest, a crimson light suddenly emerged from the body of the ten-thousand-year Magic Flame Wolf.

"Yo! Such good luck, there's actually a soul bone?"

After a soul beast dies, there is a chance it will drop a soul bone, but the probability is extremely low. Therefore, even if it is just a soul bone that has just reached ten thousand years, it is an absolute rarity on the Douluo Continent.

Using his soul power to guide the soul bone into his palm, Kong Deming examined it carefully.

"This is a left-arm soul bone, a ten-thousand-year-level soul bone, which will definitely come with a soul skill... What do you think, Tianming? Would you consider fusing with this soul bone?"

Xu Tianming naturally understood the preciousness of a soul bone.

Just as he was contemplating whether or not to absorb this spirit bone, Mavuika suddenly spoke up from within his spiritual sea, sounding curious:

"Is this a spirit bone from this world? Why does it feel somewhat similar to the artifacts of the Teyvat Continent?"

At these words, Xu Tianming was stunned for a moment, then followed Mavuika's line of reasoning to think it over carefully; the more he thought about it, the more he felt it really was the case!

When spirit masters on the Douluo Continent fused with spirit bones, they could increase their combat power, just as people in Teyvat could increase their combat power by equipping artifacts.

If a spirit master collected a complete set of spirit bones, there was a chance for a bond skill to manifest, and people in Teyvat likewise received bond skill bonuses after gathering a full set of artifacts.

Such similar settings...

Could this be the reason why Mavuika and Columbina were able to travel with him to the Douluo Continent?
