Gou Sheng (Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Favorites)

P.S. Something came up yesterday. I left early and came home late, was too tired, and went to bed early. I'll try to make up for it today...

"Oh my god! If that really happened, it'd be hilarious." Lu Chen immediately began letting his imagination run wild.

"At the Martial Soul tournament, the enemy support would defect and start assisting our side.

"The enemy control-type would restrain their own people, and the enemy assault-type would knock their own teammates flat. Hahaha, wouldn't they end up fighting among themselves?"

"Or how about changing Grandmaster's Luo San Pao Soul Skill into taking a dump? Taking a dump and farting would be a perfect match, wouldn't they?"

On the quiet village road, Lu Chen let out an exceptionally sleazy laugh. His peerlessly handsome young face gradually became lewd with his increasingly immoral grin.

One could imagine that scene would be quite beautiful. Grandmaster's expression would surely be incredibly colorful.

In the Soul Beast forest, Grandmaster walked ahead of Tang San with his hands clasped behind his back. He could answer virtually anything Tang San asked about the forest, putting on the air of a true expert.

He had Tang San completely taken in, and Tang San admired him immensely.

Suddenly, several ten-year Soul Beasts appeared. Grandmaster calmly summoned Luo San Pao and recited his flamboyant incantation: "A fart booms like thunder, shaking heaven and splitting earth—Luo San Pao."

Then Luo San Pao stuck out his butt, and a steaming pile of shit with an enchanting aroma emerged just like that, stinking several ten-year Soul Beasts to death.

One could imagine how spectacular Grandmaster's expression would be then.

He wondered whether Tang San would regret taking such a master as his teacher.

"Hahahahahahahaha, I can't wait to report to the academy."

"I really am a genius. No, I need to make good use of this Soul Gem. Life is meant to be enjoyed to the fullest!"

"Soul Masters of the Douluo Continent, are you ready to welcome Lu Chen, the Great Demon King? Hahahahaha!"

Lu Chen laughed wantonly, his lewd laughter carrying far into the distance. Quite a few villagers working in the fields turned to look at him.

"Whose idiot son is that? What a perverted laugh."

"I think he belongs to the village chief's family. I heard that during today's Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony, even the deacon from Spirit Hall praised him! Something about Innate Full Soul Power."

"How did you know?"

"Old Jack went door to door telling everyone. How could I not know?"

"Then why don't I know?"

"Because your Martial Soul is a rabbit. The village chief hates you the most."

Lu Chen quickly noticed the villagers pointing at him. He hurriedly stopped laughing, his little face flushing slightly as he jogged away.

Holy Soul Village was not large, with only a few dozen households scattered about. Lu Chen was extremely familiar with everything here.

They said boys who liked little animals were gentle, and Lu Chen liked little animals very much.

The villagers' chicks and ducklings were all targets of his amusement, to the point that once they grew up, they would chase after Lu Chen like mad.

Old Wang next door also kept a little yellow dog to guard his home. Old Wang called it Wangcai, while Lu Chen called it Gou Sheng.

It was very clever and often kept watch for Old Wang. Whenever Old Li returned from working in the fields, Gou Sheng would bark wildly, and Old Wang would hurriedly slip out of Old Li's house naked and flee into the small woods behind it.

It was also one of Lu Chen's frequent victims of care, so whenever Lu Chen passed Old Wang's door, Gou Sheng would bare its teeth at him in greeting.

"Once I go to Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy, I probably won't be back more than once a year. I should go see Gou Sheng."

After spending several years with Gou Sheng, the little puppy from back then had grown into an imposing large yellow dog.

When he arrived at Old Wang's doorstep, Lu Chen saw Gou Sheng lying peacefully at the entrance, its little tail wagging back and forth. It was sleeping soundly, seemingly having some pleasant dream.

"Same old recipe, same old taste."

Lu Chen crept over to Gou Sheng, cleared his throat, and took a deep breath.

"Will I be prosperous this year?!" Lu Chen shouted.

"Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof!!!!!"

Startled awake, Gou Sheng leaped up in fright. Its tail instantly tucked beneath its rear, and after darting a short distance away like lightning, it began barking madly at Lu Chen.

At that moment, next door to Old Wang's house—namely, Old Li's home—a pale naked figure rushed out of Old Li's house at incredible speed and hid in the small woods behind it.

"Hahaha, sorry about that, Gou Sheng. I interrupted your beautiful dream again.

"Old Wang's figure hasn't declined at all. He's still as suave and handsome as ever."

Unfortunately, Gou Sheng did not seem to appreciate it. With its tail tucked, it kept barking furiously at Lu Chen.

"Haha, why are you so angry? I'll compensate you, all right?" Lu Chen smiled at Gou Sheng, which bared its teeth but did not dare rush him.

"How should I compensate you?"

Lu Chen rubbed his chin and stared at the ordinary little dog, falling into thought.

The Douluo Continent also had ordinary animals. They possessed no Soul Power and could not cultivate like Soul Beasts, and their lifespans were extremely short.

In this world filled with Soul Beasts, ordinary animals could only live around areas inhabited by humans, where there were no Soul Beasts.

Although hunters occasionally killed them, that was still far better than facing those terrifying Soul Beasts.

"Gou Sheng, what do you think about me modifying you so that you have a Martial Soul just like humans?"

A sudden flash of inspiration struck Lu Chen. He thought it might be very entertaining.

"A large yellow dog with a Martial Soul... that would definitely shock every Soul Master across the Douluo Continent. All those Martial Soul research masters would probably start pulling all-nighters."

Without caring whether Gou Sheng agreed or not, Lu Chen simply thought it would be fun.

He grabbed one of Gou Sheng's hind legs, and amid Gou Sheng's desperate struggle and miserable howls, Lu Chen ruthlessly dragged it into the small woods.

It was already afternoon, and Holy Soul Village had filled with many villagers returning from farm work.

In order not to attract attention, Lu Chen could only drag Gou Sheng into the small woods for some modifications. Don't get any strange ideas.

Looking at Gou Sheng trembling in terror, Lu Chen summoned his Infinite Gem Martial Soul. The golden, glittering Soul Gem flashed with mysterious light.

The Soul Gem controlled the supreme law of souls. All things possessed spirits; whether living beings or the dead, none could escape the shackles of the soul. In that regard, the Soul Gem was utterly overpowered.

The Soul Gem's ability to alter souls activated. Lu Chen pressed his hand against Gou Sheng's head, and a mysterious yellow glow enveloped Gou Sheng's entire body.

Gou Sheng's soul was extremely weak, like a candle flame flickering in the wind.

It was even weaker than those disgusting butterflies Lu Chen had killed in the Star Dou Forest. That was the difference between ordinary animals and Soul Beasts.

As the Soul Gem continued its modifications, Lu Chen could clearly feel Gou Sheng's soul growing stronger and more solid.

"What kind of Martial Soul should I create for you?"

Lu Chen pondered. Since Gou Sheng was a canine, the Martial Soul he created naturally had to be related to canines. That would also make it more compatible.

"What powerful canine Martial Souls are there? The three-headed hellhound? Nasus? Wolves seem to be canines too... That reminds me of Garurumon. Its ultimate form seemed to be MetalGarurumon."
