Unyielding Soul, Golden Dragon Mastiff

Spirit Transmission Pagoda, eighty-first floor.

Han Tianyi explained the knowledge regarding spirit souls to Fang Lin in great detail.

From the birth of a spirit soul and the methods of contracting, to how the type of spirit soul influences a martial soul, nothing was left out.

His tone was calm and earnest; clearly, he took this matter very seriously.

When reaching crucial points, he would deliberately slow his speech, ensuring Fang Lin understood before continuing.

After finishing, Han Tianyi picked up his teacup and took a light sip to moisten his throat.

Subsequently, his gaze fell upon Fang Lin, and he spoke slowly, "Have you decided what kind of spirit soul you want?"

"Although your martial soul is extremely powerful, the choice of your first spirit soul is equally vital."

"A good start often determines one's future development."

Hearing this, Fang Lin fell into deep thought.

He sat in his chair, eyes slightly closed, his mind racing at high speed.

In this era of Dou San, spirit rings were no longer important; by comparison, the value of spirit souls far exceeded that of spirit rings.

One only needed to look at the old master of the Spirit Transmission Pagoda, Qiangu Dieting, to understand this point.

He had forcefully upgraded all of his spirit rings into hundred-thousand-year red spirit rings.

A moment later, Fang Lin opened his eyes and said, "Teacher, I wish to choose an indomitable-type spirit soul."

"Very well."

Hearing this, Han Tianyi did not say much else.

He simply took out a soul guidance screen and handed it over, "Choose whichever indomitable spirit soul you desire."

"Filtering by attribute, thousand-year level, and indomitable type, there won't be too many spirit souls available for selection."

"Understood, Teacher."

Fang Lin nodded, took the soul guidance screen, and began to look through it earnestly.

Han Tianyi leaned back in his chair, sipping his tea slowly without interfering.

He preferred to let Fang Lin make his own decisions. After all, the martial soul belonged to Fang Lin, and he had to walk his own path in the future.

If he truly made a subpar choice, he, as the teacher, was there to correct it in time.

In this way, he gave his disciple autonomy without letting him go astray.

Fang Lin's gaze fell upon the soul guidance screen, his fingertips sliding gently across it.

Indomitable Spirit Soul Section.

First page: Titan Giant Ape.

On the screen, a massive ape-like spirit soul appeared, pitch-black in color, resembling both an ape and a gorilla.

Its entire body was covered in thick, dark short hair, each strand as hard as a steel needle. Every part of its body was covered in hard muscles, bulging like small mounds, filled with a sense of explosive power.

A pair of giant eyes flickered with the luster of yellow crystals, steady and ferocious.

Fang Lin glanced at it, shook his head slightly, and continued to scroll down.

Although the Titan Giant Ape was strong, its compatibility with his martial soul was not optimal.

Second page: Twin Cyclops.

Two heads on one body, with two independent heads on its shoulders, each possessing a single eye.

The left head was pitch-black, the eye emitting a cold, dark light. The right head was snow-white, the eye shooting out a scorching white light.

Two distinct auras intertwined, soul-shaking.

The fur was clearly divided into black and white; the body was massive, with top-tier strength and spiritual power.

Third page: Holy Unicorn.

A snow-white steed with a mane as brilliant as gold on its neck, and a spiral golden horn standing proudly atop its head.

Its massive wings were as white as clouds, with the outermost feathers rimmed in gold.

As it walked, its body was shrouded in a layer of soft holy light, with golden halos rippling outward like waves.

Holy, noble, and powerful.

Fang Lin's gaze lingered on this Holy Unicorn for a moment.

In all fairness, this spirit soul was truly excellent; both its appearance and strength were impeccable.

However... it still felt like something was missing.

In the end, he swiped past it and continued to browse.

Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Vajra Dragon Ape, Golden Earth Dragon King...

One powerful spirit soul after another appeared before his eyes, each with its own advantages and shortcomings.

Until, at a certain moment, Fang Lin's movements suddenly stopped.

A strange spirit creature caught his eye.

It resembled a giant mastiff in its entirety, yet its limbs, head, and tail all bore distinct draconic features.

Its golden fur was as smooth as silk, shimmering with a faint, radiant glow.

Its head possessed both the ferocity of a mastiff and the arrogance of a dragon, while a pair of vertical pupils flashed with a golden luster, exuding a soul-stirring majesty.

Its limbs were thick and powerful, with sharp claws glinting with a cold light.

The dragon tail behind it was thick, long, and muscular, its tip slightly curled, carrying an innate, overbearing aura.

Indomitable Spirit—Golden Dragon Mastiff!

Born from the union of a Golden Earth Dragon and a Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff, it inherited the essence of the dragon bloodline and the indomitable will of the lion mastiff, naturally possessing the two top-tier attributes of light and strength.

Fang Lin's gaze remained fixed on the light screen, unable to look away for a long time.

He looked at Han Tianyi, the corners of his mouth curling upward slightly. "Teacher, I choose this one."

"Good eye."

Han Tianyi set down his teacup, his gaze falling upon the Golden Dragon Mastiff on the screen.

He nodded gently, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

"The Golden Dragon Mastiff is indeed a good choice."

Han Tianyi said slowly, "Its rarity far exceeds that of an ordinary Indomitable Spirit."

"Because the combination of the dragon bloodline and the lion mastiff bloodline is inherently rare, and it possesses both the top-tier attributes of light and strength simultaneously."

"Mm."

Fang Lin nodded slightly.

In this era of Dou San, whether it was a beast soul or an elemental soul, one would only be suppressed when facing the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings.

That was an absolute suppression at the bloodline level, unrelated to cultivation, purely the natural intimidation of a superior over an inferior.

Of course, Fang Lin was not subject to this version's limitation. His Golden Dragon martial soul had already evolved into the Golden Dragon King.

In terms of bloodline hierarchy, the Golden Dragon King stood on equal footing with the Silver Dragon King, and in some aspects, even surpassed it.

The so-called bloodline suppression simply did not exist for him. Or rather, he was the only one capable of suppressing others.

"Someone, bring the Indomitable Spirit, the Golden Dragon Mastiff, over here," Han Tianyi commanded through his soul communicator.

"Yes."

The voice of a Spirit Transmission Pagoda staff member came from the other end.

Not long after, the office door was lightly knocked.

"Enter."

Han Tianyi's voice rang out.

The next moment, the door was pushed open.

A Spirit Transmission Pagoda staff member walked in quickly, bowing respectfully. "Elder Han."

"Mm."

Han Tianyi nodded slightly, his gaze calm.

The staff member stepped forward and handed over the spirit ball.

It was a completely transparent crystal ball with a faint blue light flowing across its surface. Through the sphere, one could vaguely see a Golden Dragon Mastiff curled up inside.

It seemed to sense the aura from the outside, its body trembling slightly as those golden vertical pupils suddenly snapped open, filled with vigilance.

Ordinary spirits could be stored in spirit balls for long periods.

However, because Indomitable Spirits were naturally unruly and extremely difficult to tame, they could only be sealed within a spirit ball for a short time.

If left for too long, they would strike at the sphere from within, forcibly breaking the seal to escape.

After setting down the spirit ball, the staff member bowed again, turned, and left, closing the door softly behind him.

The office returned to silence once more.
