Soul Spirit: Poison Angel

The soul spirit was dark green all over and roughly humanoid. Behind it were two pairs of flat, oval outlines that seemed to be tiny wings.

The middle-aged man took a step back and explained to Lin Yu, "This is a special soul spirit created by our Spirit Pagoda using the genes of poison-type Soul Masters. We call it the Poison Angel. It is a standard Unyielding Destruction. Only someone who truly conquers it can fuse with it."

"I don't know why you're so confident about fusing with it, but since you've chosen it, you won't have a chance to regret it."

After saying that, the middle-aged man took out a silver box and said to Lin Yu, "My teacher instructed me to provide you with an absolutely private space for absorption. You can take the Poison Angel in this silver box, find somewhere quiet, and absorb it on your own."

Lin Yu nodded. At that moment, Lin Qingye stepped forward and used the silver box to store the Poison Angel soul spirit.

After putting away the soul spirit, he bowed and scraped before the man. "Then thank you very much. Please give my regards to your teacher."

The middle-aged man nodded, and the expression on his face returned to that corpse-like calm. Clearly, compared to Lin Yu, he thought even less of Lin Qingye.

Lin Qingye could sense the other man's gaze, but he remained unmoved as he pushed Lin Yu out of the Spirit Pagoda.

Lin Yu said to Lin Qingye with some dissatisfaction, "Father, you sacrificed too much on this trip."

After spending so long on Douluo Continent, Lin Yu had come to understand the temperaments of its people. Given Lin Qingye's cultivation and status, even though he had fallen on hard times, he still had every right to be proud.

Lin Qingye waved a hand, unconcerned by Lin Yu's words, and calmly said, "Sometimes, enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens is not shameful. It is for the sake of eventual success. As long as your final accomplishments are worthy of the humiliation you suffer today, then this humiliation will be nothing more than an experience in your life."

Lin Yu nodded and looked at Lin Qingye, unable to say anything for a long while.

The two soon arrived at a cultivation quiet room available for rent.

At the entrance to the quiet room, Lin Qingye patted Lin Yu on the shoulder and said, "Go in. I believe you can conquer this special soul spirit. Part of the materials used to create it came from your martial soul. Perhaps that is fate between you."

Lin Yu did not care for such talk of fate, but he still nodded and carried the silver box into the cultivation quiet room.

These cultivation quiet rooms were extremely well sealed against the elements, so absorbing a soul spirit would not harm passersby nearby.

Lin Qingye was, after all, the City Lord of Aolai City. After arriving in Tianhai City, he had instinctively considered the people's welfare. At the same time, he was also considering Tianhai City's City Lord.

If too many people died from poisonous gas leaking out while Lin Yu absorbed the soul spirit through his martial soul, it would also be a troublesome matter for Tianhai City's City Lord's career.

If Tianhai City's City Lord got into trouble, Lin Qingye and the others would likely be in trouble as well. They might even find it difficult to return to Aolai City alive.

Lin Qingye understood such matters of right and wrong very clearly.

Inside the quiet room, after confirming its airtight seal, Lin Yu placed a hand on the silver box.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yu pressed his fingers against the edge of the box, then abruptly flipped it open.

The instant the box opened, a streak of green light flew out along with a sickly sweet stench.

The green shadow darted around wildly before Lin Yu like a fly.

With my temper, I'm really not in the mood to indulge you. Lin Yu immediately summoned his martial soul.

The Jade-Scaled Seven-Extinction Flower martial soul was no useless martial soul like Blue Silver Grass. Although the Jade-Scaled Seven-Extinction Flower had not yet gained a single soul ring, it could still use its vines for simple attacks.

Under Lin Yu's control, green vines rapidly formed into a long whip in his hand. With a sharp swing, he lashed it at the Poison Angel flying around erratically.

At the end of the day, the Poison Angel was merely a hundred-year soul spirit, equivalent to a hundred-year soul beast. The vine whip immediately grazed it.

After being grazed, the Poison Angel stopped its circling flight and hovered in midair, staring fixedly at Lin Yu.

Although its face had no features, Lin Yu could feel that the Poison Angel was staring directly at him. The sensation was strange, as though something icy cold were pricking him.

Lin Yu hardened his resolve. He loosened his hand, releasing the vine whip formed from the Jade-Scaled Seven-Extinction Flower's vines, and confronted the Poison Angel before him.

After they faced off for about thirty minutes, the Poison Angel slowly descended a little before beginning to approach Lin Yu.

As the Poison Angel drew closer, a sickly sweet scent flooded Lin Yu's nose and began seeping into his blood and organs.

At the same time, the soul mark of the Jade-Scaled Seven-Extinction Flower on Lin Yu's body began to burn. Clearly, after sensing the poisonous mist approaching, the Jade-Scaled Seven-Extinction Flower had begun to act as well.

The Poison Angel paused slightly, seemingly hesitating over Lin Yu's reaction, while Lin Yu reached out toward it.

After seeing Lin Yu's eyes and finding not even the slightest trace of fear in them, the Poison Angel finally gave up its attempt to keep staring at him.

After it stopped staring at Lin Yu, the Poison Angel did not fly away. Instead, it flew toward him.

Throughout the process, the sweet, fishy poisonous gas from the Poison Angel continued to seep into Lin Yu's body, trying to crush both his body and will.

But the Jade-Scaled Seven-Extinction Flower martial soul was, after all, a supreme treasure among poison- and plant-type Soul Masters. Though the Poison Angel's poison was formidable, it ultimately could not bring down the Jade-Scaled Seven-Extinction Flower, which was itself supreme among poisons.

As the Poison Angel approached Lin Yu until they were almost forehead to forehead, it extended a hand. Its tiny green hand touched Lin Yu's forehead.

Then, even purer soul power poured into Lin Yu's body.

Lin Yu took the opportunity to sit cross-legged and began meditating, organizing his soul power while accepting the Poison Angel's fusion.

After a full hour of fusion, Lin Yu opened his eyes. Beneath his feet, a yellow soul ring had appeared, slowly revolving around him.

When he pushed open the door and walked out, Lin Qingye almost immediately came up to him, watching Lin Yu nervously as he waited for his reaction.

Lin Yu did not bore himself by teasing Lin Qingye. He simply nodded at him, and Lin Qingye immediately lifted Lin Yu into his arms in excitement...
