"Ah? Grandpa Golden Crocodile, does that mean I need to absorb the soul rings of two unicorns?"
Hearing this, Lin Mo abruptly turned his head, staring at Golden Crocodile Douluo in surprise. No matter how good the Light Unicorn soul beast was, she couldn't absorb it for both of her first two soul rings, could she?
Golden Crocodile Douluo, who would have thought that a thick-browed, big-eyed fellow like you would slack off too?
"Hehe, you two don't understand, do you?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo chuckled. Pretending to be mysterious, he pointed at the two unicorns before explaining with a smile.
"One of these two Light Unicorns is quite special."
Golden Crocodile Douluo pointed at one of the two Light Unicorns, and Lin Mo and Qian Renxue followed the direction of his hand.
Upon closer inspection, Lin Mo indeed noticed something different.
The second Light Unicorn's entire body was more golden in color, and the aura of light surrounding it was even denser.
In particular, a careful look revealed faint golden scales appearing intermittently across this Light Unicorn's body.
This was undoubtedly a sign of dragonization.
"This unicorn has dragon bloodline?"
Lin Mo's expression grew more serious. Judging by the traits displayed by the Light Unicorn, the dragon bloodline mixed into it should belong to the golden clan.
He just did not know whether it was from a pure-blooded dragon.
"Ah? Dragon bloodline? Doesn't that make this Light Unicorn even stronger?"
Qian Renxue was somewhat surprised, but her gaze toward the Light Unicorn also carried a hint of delight and curiosity.
"Lin Mo, this kid, really does have a good eye."
"That's right. Its father should have been a high-year Golden Tyrannosaurus King."
"This Light Unicorn inherited its father's golden bloodline, and the soul skill it grants will certainly be extraordinary."
"You should know that because Light Unicorns are so rare and difficult to reproduce, they generally breed only with their own kind."
"So, a mutated Light Unicorn like this is truly hard to come by."
Lin Mo nodded as well. If that was the case, then this soul beast's rarity and compatibility with Xue'er were on an entirely different level.
"Xue'er, then this soul beast really is suitable for you."
"Mm, I think it suits me very well too."
Seeing his hard-won results acknowledged by the two youngsters, Golden Crocodile Douluo was in an excellent mood, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.
"Alright, time is of the essence. You two little ones should hurry up and absorb your soul rings."
"Remember, the weakness of all three soul beasts lies in their eyes. Just use the knife and stab straight through the eye."
"Xue'er, kill the ordinary Light Unicorn first and absorb its soul ring before anything else."
Lin Mo and Qian Renxue nodded, each walking up to their corresponding soul beast. As Lin Mo looked at the dying Sacred Sun Fire-Plume Bird, his gaze changed for an instant.
The Sacred Sun Fire-Plume Bird seemed to sense something. It weakly opened its eyes, looked at Lin Mo, and let out two mournful cries.
Lin Mo crouched down, closing the distance between himself and the Sacred Sun Fire-Plume Bird. His hand gently rested against the Fire-Plume Bird's face.
From Golden Crocodile Douluo's perspective, Lin Mo could not bear to kill it and was offering the Fire-Plume Bird one final comfort before its death. What a sign of a kind heart.
"Sigh, as expected of the owner of ultimate light, a child of light born by nature."
"Sure enough, martial souls can influence people. This kid's heart is filled with nothing but sincerity."
Golden Crocodile Douluo could not help sighing aloud, and the way he looked at Lin Mo became increasingly kind.
On Douluo Continent, martial souls could indeed influence a person, but one's personality was not entirely determined by one's martial soul.
Take Qian Xunji as a negative example. Who could have imagined that the owner of an angel martial soul filled with boundless love could actually violate his own disciple?
"This Sacred Sun Fire-Plume Bird is still pretty spirited. It'd be a shame if such a good bloodline didn't drop a soul bone. If I torture it a little now, maybe it'll drop an external soul bone for me?"
Lin Mo spent all day thinking about such wonderful things, but if Qian Daoliu and the others heard this thought, their jaws would surely drop.
They had just considered Lin Mo a kindhearted person, yet in the next moment he was preparing to torture a soul beast to death. That contrast... tsk tsk, otherwise why would evil take a fancy to him?
Lin Mo had not moved closer to the Sacred Sun Fire-Plume Bird because he was kindhearted. It was simply because he had been too far away to stab it properly.
"Sigh, you poor little thing."
"In your next life, make sure you're born into a good family. Don't be a soul beast again."
"Luckily, this little soul beast met me. If it had met someone else, they'd definitely torture you first before killing you."
"Sigh, Lin Mo really is such a good person."
"So, seeing how good I am, little birdie, how about dropping a soul bone for me?"
Lin Mo said those shameless words as easily as breathing.
The Fire-Plume Bird was so enraged that its face turned dark. Its body trembled without stop, and its eyes seemed ready to spew flames, as though it wanted to skin Lin Mo alive.
Its originally dying body also kept shaking, seemingly trying to gather its final strength to teach Lin Mo a proper lesson.
This gave Lin Mo a fright. He instantly drew a knife from his waist and stabbed it straight into the Fire-Plume Bird's vital spot, muttering as he acted.
"Look at you, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Young man, such a temper. Come on, time to reincarnate."
With the knife plunging in, the Fire-Plume Bird's miserable life finally came to an end. At last, it no longer had to put up with this human's bullshit.
The Sacred Sun Fire-Plume Bird croaked.
A purple soul ring slowly emerged from the Fire-Plume Bird's body. Lin Mo did not inspect the soul ring right away. Instead, he first began feeling around on the bird's corpse.
"Tsk... damn it, this Fire-Plume Bird really doesn't appreciate kindness."
"I kindly sent it on its way, and it couldn't even drop an external soul bone for me. What a cheapskate."
Lin Mo muttered a couple of complaints before finally turning his gaze toward the deep-purple soul ring. Following the posture Qian Daoliu and the others had taught him, he sat down cross-legged.
Circulating the soul power throughout his body, he firmly drew the deep-purple soul ring around himself.
The absorption of the soul ring began.
Perhaps because of Lin Mo's punchable remarks earlier, coupled with the Fire-Plume Bird's genuinely high intelligence, the absorption process encountered a slight hitch.
But Lin Mo quickly suppressed it. After all, for someone who had already endured two martial soul rampages, this was simply—
Child's play. In a French accent.
Lin Mo slowly opened his eyes. He instinctively clenched his fist, feeling the abundant soul power within his body, as well as the shackles that had yet to break through.
"I wonder what level I'm at now."
"I shouldn't have gained less than that little punk Tang San did when he absorbed his first soul ring."
If you were wondering why Lin Mo had suddenly started calling Tang San a little punk, or why he had become enemies with Tang San for no apparent reason—
Lin Mo could only say that if you wanted to steal someone's mother's soul bone, you had to become that person's enemy.
"This soul skill is actually pretty good."
Lin Mo lightly tested the effects of his first soul ring. When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with delight, and he could not help but exclaim.
"Oh? You're that happy? Looks like your first soul skill is quite good."
"Kid Lin Mo, what is your first soul skill?"
