First Soul Skill, Light Sanctuary (Seeking Follow-ups)

Golden Crocodile Douluo was intrigued as well. Qian Renxue was still absorbing her second soul ring, but she had already passed the dangerous stage, and her aura had stabilized.

Golden Crocodile Douluo walked over to Lin Mo. With such a top-tier soul beast as the Sacred Sun Fire Spirit Bird, combined with Lin Mo's top-tier martial soul, he was truly curious what kind of sparks the two would create.

Lin Mo smiled faintly and stomped his right foot against the ground. The Light Phoenix martial soul possessed him. In an instant, a phoenix's cry rang through the skies as enormous golden wings manifested behind Lin Mo.

"Light Phoenix, possess!"

Lin Mo's entire body was cast in gold, sacred and inviolable. His height increased as well, and he now stood over one meter sixty tall.

Golden flames coiled around the youth's body. His brows were sharp, his bearing heroic and imposing, with a faint smile at the corner of his lips. That trace of sacredness was simply perfect.

He was like a divine lord descending from the heavens into the mortal world, sacred and inviolable.

Ah, being this handsome, I can definitely charm countless girls.

Lin Mo could not help sighing inwardly, though none of it showed on his face. He retained his usual calm and gentleness.

A purple soul ring rose beneath his feet.

"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, since we're demonstrating the effects of my soul skill, why not try it yourself?"

Lin Mo said with a smile.

Golden Crocodile Douluo laughed heartily. Without wasting words, he waved a hand, and a barrier directly isolated the two of them from the outside world.

"Come at me, kid."

Lin Mo pursed his lips and nodded slightly.

"First Soul Skill, Light Sanctuary."

In an instant, a massive golden halo formed around Lin Mo, spanning a diameter of roughly five meters.

Golden Crocodile Douluo frowned slightly. He could feel the temperature around him rapidly rising, while golden-red patterns of light emerged across the ground.

White-gold flames also ignited over the soul power shield protecting his body.

Of course, given Golden Crocodile Douluo's strength, he certainly did not need a protective shield to deal with Lin Mo. But he did not want to walk out naked.

Naturally, he needed to offer some protection to his clothes.

"A domain-type soul skill?"

Feeling the skill's effects, Golden Crocodile Douluo was pleasantly surprised, and the look he gave Lin Mo carried a hint of emotion.

In Douluo One, domain-type skills were worth their weight in gold—their prestige was simply off the charts.

If you did not even have a domain, you would be too embarrassed to call yourself a genius when you went out.

To put it even more bluntly, in Douluo One, a domain was the threshold separating heaven-blessed prodigies from ordinary geniuses.

"Not only are you exceptionally talented, kid, but your luck is also remarkably good."

"To possess a domain at such a young age, honestly, even your Grandpa Golden Crocodile is a little jealous."

Lin Mo smiled shyly and replied modestly.

"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, you flatter me."

"You needn't envy me. I'm only a genius who has yet to grow, while you are already a renowned top-tier powerhouse of the continent."

"Without your protection, how could young geniuses like us possibly grow up?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo laughed heartily. If someone else had flattered him by saying such things, he would have disdained it.

But it was Lin Mo saying them—a child he had watched grow up, practically his own grandson praising his grandfather. How could that not make him happy?

"You really know how to talk, kid. All right, give me a detailed introduction to the effects of your first soul skill."

Lin Mo composed himself and carefully sorted through the effects of his soul skill in his mind before solemnly beginning his explanation.

"My first soul skill is a domain-type skill called Light Sanctuary."

"At present, the limit of this domain is only a diameter of five meters, but it will expand as my soul power increases."

Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded. A domain that could expand in range was even more surprising. He then continued asking.

"What are its specific effects?"

"Within the domain, enemies will continuously suffer damage from Sacred Light Flame. They will be continuously burned and slowed."

"Allies, on the other hand, will receive encouragement and support, gaining buffs. Their attacks will carry Sacred Light Flame, and their damage and other attributes will be enhanced."

"At the same time, within the domain, I can freely combine and wield light, sacred, and fire attributes in battle."

"It consumes very little soul power."

Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes suddenly lit up. He patted Lin Mo on the shoulder, making no effort to conceal his praise.

"Your soul skill is quite good. It's a fine start to your path as a soul master. You must practice diligently from now on."

"You must not only cultivate your soul power, but also improve your proficiency with your soul skills."

"Being able to wield the elements is very good."

"If this soul skill is developed well, it may become a powerful source of support for you in the future."

After Golden Crocodile Douluo finished speaking, his attention was no longer on Lin Mo. Instead, he focused entirely on guarding Qian Renxue.

Lin Mo nodded, but his expression was slightly unnatural now, and his right hand hidden behind his back was trembling faintly.

Sure enough, the fucking balance has been broken again.

After the Light Phoenix martial soul gained its first soul ring, its strength surged dramatically, instantly shattering the balance within his body. The Light Phoenix was now constantly wielding its power, attempting to drive the Heart of Darkness completely out of Lin Mo's body.

And the Heart of Darkness would not take this lying down either. Although its power was temporarily weaker than the Light Phoenix's, it was still an ultimate martial soul—not something to be trifled with.

The scale of the conflict escalated once more, and Lin Mo's body became a battlefield again.

Just as Lin Mo was at a loss, the two beads within his sea of consciousness intervened once more.

Two beams of light, one black and one white, shot out from the beads and headed straight for the two restless martial souls.

In an instant, the two martial souls that had been so aggressive moments ago seemed to wilt. They withdrew all their power, retreated into the shadows, and stopped causing any further disturbance.

Lin Mo seized the opportunity and hurriedly circulated his soul power throughout his body, erecting a barrier between the two martial souls.

At the same time, the black bead seemed to think that was not enough. It fired another black beam, reinforcing the barrier once more.

For the moment, the immediate crisis had been resolved.

Lin Mo let out a slight sigh of relief. The pain just now had nearly made him collapse to the ground.

If the two martial souls had truly started fighting, there was no doubt that Lin Mo, as he was now, would have been torn apart on the spot.

He had still been too careless. His foreknowledge after reincarnation, coupled with how smoothly things had gone these past days, had made him somewhat overconfident.

And with the black and white beads stepping in before, he had grown even less wary of the conflict between the two martial souls.

He had still underestimated how terrifying a martial soul conflict could be. If the black and white beads had not intervened just now, Lin Mo felt that he would probably have had to start over again.

Lin Mo was now sincerely grateful to those two mysterious black and white beads. They had truly saved his life.

Not just anyone could understand the joy of surviving such a disaster.

Big Brothers Black and White, this little brother truly thanks you. No words can express my gratitude. I'll definitely work hard to find life materials for you and make sure you're fed.

Yes. After the black and white beads had used their power just now, Lin Mo could clearly sense that they were conveying only one message.

They were hungry.
