Douluo: The Garlic Turtle with Ultimate Poison

Transmigrating into the world of Soul Land, Lin Xia awakens Bulbasaur as his martial soul. His innate soul power is only Rank 1, and his is a beast martial soul that manifests outside his body. Yu Xiaogang keeps chasing him down, eager to take him as a disciple. But Lin Xia, who knows the plot inside out, knows Yu Xiaogang only wants to use him as a test subject-and refuses to give him the time of day.

Yu Xiaogang: "Lin Xia, your martial soul is just like mine-a beast martial soul that manifests outside the body. Only I can guide you to the finish line!"

Lin Xia: "You mean the finish line where we both get stuck at the Grand Soul Master stage and never get out?"

Yu Xiaogang: "Your martial soul needs to absorb soul rings from beast-type soul beasts to bring out its full potential!"

Lin Xia: "Bulbasaur takes root in heaven and earth and draws nourishment from all things. The stronger its vitality, the greater its power. I don't need your advice!"

Yu Xiaogang: "Your martial soul is nothing but a garlic-headed turtle! You'll regret not listening to me!"

Lin Xia: "You're the garlic-headed turtle! Mine is called Bulbasaur!"

Yu Xiaogang: "Lin Xia, you..."

Lin Xia: "Enough. Shut up. I don't need you!"

Though he has neither a cheat ability nor a system, Lin Xia draws on his knowledge of the original story and Pokémon to delve deep into his martial soul's traits, setting Bulbasaur on a journey toward the twin ultimate attributes of Wood and Poison.

At Rank 20, it evolves into Ivysaur. At Rank 40, it evolves into Venusaur. At Rank 70, it Mega Evolves. At Rank 90, it Gigantamaxes!

Years later, Yu Xiaogang gazes at a Venusaur that blots out the sky and sun, its roots anchoring heaven and earth. His eyes are filled with shock.

"Wasn't his innate soul power only Rank 1?"

"Wasn't his martial soul just a garlic-headed turtle?"

"How dare you! When I was weak, I let it slide when you called my martial soul a garlic-headed turtle. Now, you will address it as Emperor Venusaur!"
