Old Chrysanthemum: I'll Set Up a Shrine Too

One year later, Uchiha Huan was eight and a half years old, and his Soul Power had reached level thirty.

After a year of consolidation, the solidity of his Soul Power had finally reached the required standard.

Over the past year, Uchiha Huan had never neglected his Sage Art training. Whenever the Eye of Space finished its cooldown, he would immediately head to Shikkotsu Forest in the Naruto World.

He spent half his time cultivating Sage Art and the other half condensing his Soul Power.

Yet gaining three levels in a year was still astonishingly fast. Fortunately, the solidity of his Soul Power had kept pace.

For ordinary people, the solidity of their Soul Power could be considered 1.

Then, a year ago, his Soul Power solidity had been 0.7.

That was an extremely dangerous level, because to break through to Title Douluo, one's Soul Power solidity had to reach at least 2.

The Soul Core of Douluo II was born from highly condensed Soul Power.

As long as one condensed a Soul Core, the solidity of one's Soul Power would be 5, and the difficulty of breaking through to Title Douluo would be far lower than in the Douluo I World.

Moreover, having a Soul Core and not having one were entirely different concepts. The gap in combat power was enormous.

That was understandable. After all, if the Soul Master world had made no progress at all over ten thousand years, that would have been truly strange.

But now, Uchiha Huan was troubled by his third Spirit Ring again.

Mental, time, or space—any one of those attributes would do. A creature like the Time-Shatter Beast, which possessed both mental and time attributes, was something one could only hope to encounter.

The age limit was not a problem. As long as Uchiha Huan was willing to spend time, his Spirit Ring's age would eventually rise.

However, Uchiha Huan also required a Soul Beast with a powerful origin.

What counted as a Soul Beast with a powerful origin? At the very least, it had to possess the potential to grow into a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Mental attributes were relatively the easiest to obtain. Time and space were both rare attributes.

It could be said that all Soul Beasts with time and space attributes possessed the potential to cultivate to a hundred-thousand-year age.

Mental-attribute Soul Beasts were relatively easier to find, though that was only relative to time and space attributes.

Uchiha Huan unconsciously thought of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

But its sixty-thousand-year age was still too high for him.

And it was far too difficult to kill. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's combat power might not match that of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, but its abilities were even more troublesome than those of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Even if he brought Yue Guan and Gui Mei along, they might still suffer a mishap.

Uchiha Huan did not want them to risk their lives for him either.

Uchiha Huan and his ten clones constantly searched through mountains of books.

Just then, Yue Guan ran in with a book in his hand.

During this period, Yue Guan had also been helping Uchiha Huan select a Soul Beast.

"Xiao Huan, what age Soul Beast are you looking for?"

"Anything above ten thousand years will do."

"Xiao Huan, look at this eyeball monster that's over nine thousand years old. It's a pure mental-attribute Soul Beast."

Uchiha Huan took the book Yue Guan handed him. Inside was an illustration of the eyeball monster.

The monster's body was a gigantic eyeball, with dozens of slender tentacles extending around it.

Uchiha Huan's pupils suddenly contracted. What eyeball monster was this?

This was clearly an Evil Eye Tyrant!

The Evil Eye Tyrant was not merely mental-attribute. It also possessed time and space attributes.

The recorder had likely been limited by his own strength and had therefore failed to uncover the Evil Eye Tyrant's true origins.

Perfect! Absolutely perfect!

Uchiha Huan excitedly looked over the Evil Eye Tyrant's description.

"This one. Where is it now?"

"Wouldn't nine thousand years be too low?" Yue Guan asked with some hesitation.

He had already examined Uchiha Huan's physique many times. Absorbing a Soul Beast of twenty or thirty thousand years would be more than manageable for him.

"It's fine. It can be raised anyway," Uchiha Huan said indifferently.

What he needed was the Evil Eye Tyrant's Soul Beast origin. Unless it was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, its origin would not undergo a massive increase.

Below a hundred thousand years, the differences between Soul Beast origins were not very large.

But one hundred thousand years marked the beginning of a qualitative change.

"That God Trial reward has a limit on the number of uses too, right?"

"Old Chrysanthemum, the rewards bestowed by gods depend on how much faith power you have. The more believers there are, the more rewards the gods will grant."

"Xiao Huan, what god gave you this God Trial? I'll set up a shrine for him later and offer him some faith power too."

"Forget it. If you dare set up a statue or shrine for another god in Spirit City, that old bastard Qian Daoliu will crack your skull open that very day."

"Speaking ill of others behind their backs is not something a gentleman would do."

Just then, a voice descended from above, while holy light that warmed the heart enveloped the courtyard.

Qian Daoliu drifted down from the air. The moment Yue Guan saw him arrive, his entire body tensed.

However, Qian Daoliu did not set his gaze on Yue Guan. Instead, he studied Uchiha Huan before him.

Likewise, Uchiha Huan was studying this moral paragon of the Douluo World.

It could be said that among all the known figures of the next thirty thousand years, Qian Daoliu was a genuine moral paragon.

It was not as though he had never done anything wrong, such as fathering Secret Chamber Douluo.

But he had never deliberately committed a single evil deed.

Qian Daoliu had heard that Spirit Hall had produced another genius favored by the gods.

Qian Daoliu was surprised to discover that Uchiha Huan's spiritual power was actually on par with his own.

However, he could not sense any fluctuations of Divine Power from Uchiha Huan.

Was it because he had only just begun the God Trial, so the god had not invested much attention in him yet?

"I recommend a Soul Beast for you," Qian Daoliu said.

Uchiha Huan looked at Qian Daoliu. Was this an attempt to curry favor with him?

If it were just an ordinary Soul Beast, it would not be enough to count as a favor.

Qian Daoliu said, "Crimson Shadow."

Uchiha Huan was somewhat confused. "What Soul Beast is that?"

"It is a twenty-thousand-year Super Soul Beast discovered in Sunset Forest. It possesses life, mental, space, time, darkness, sacred, fire, lightning, ice, earth, and other attributes."

The concept of Super Soul Beasts already existed in this era.

For example, the Dark-Gold Terrorclaw Bear, True Dragon, Emerald Swan, Thunderflame Hell Vine, and Demon-Eyed Devil Tree all belonged to the ranks of Super Soul Beasts.

Although these Super Soul Beasts varied in strength in nature, when they were of the same age, they shared one characteristic: extreme attributes.

Crimson Shadow was also among the Super Soul Beasts. Its uniqueness lay in the fact that it did not possess an extreme attribute—it possessed nearly every attribute.

After hearing Qian Daoliu's introduction, Uchiha Huan fell into hesitation.

Crimson Shadow's excess attributes did not suit him and could even contaminate the origin of his Sharingan.

Aside from the life attribute, some of its other attributes were unsuitable, while others would affect his own origin, such as sacred, fire, lightning, ice, and earth.

They were completely incompatible with his mental, time, and space attributes.

"Are you worried that the extra attributes will affect your Martial Soul?" Qian Daoliu seemed to see through Uchiha Huan's thoughts.

Uchiha Huan nodded. Qian Daoliu smiled. "I recommended Crimson Shadow because its Soul Skill is called Effortless Bestowal."

"What kind of Soul Skill is that?"

"Effortless Bestowal can temporarily grant life to any object, as well as a random attribute and a Soul Skill matching that attribute," Qian Daoliu said. "Crimson Shadow is suitable for Soul Masters with any attribute of Martial Soul. A Soul Master who gains Crimson Shadow's Spirit Ring can randomly add an attribute to their Martial Soul, along with a Soul Skill of that attribute."

Uchiha Huan's eyes widened, his face filled with shock.

The Martial Souls, Spirit Rings, and Soul Beasts of the Douluo World came in every strange variety imaginable, but Uchiha Huan had never expected such a miraculous Soul Beast to exist.
