With the Spirit Pagoda's current technology, artificial Tool Soul Spirits had already become quite mature.
If there really was nothing suitable, he could only make do with something. Or... he could get a Sub-Dragon-type Soul Spirit and wait for Wulin to help him complete its mutation.
While Tang Li was pondering this, Tang Wulin was already preparing to drag him over to the Soul Beast Encyclopedia to look for suitable Soul Spirits.
"Little Li, let's go study Soul Spirits!"
"Sure." Dinner was not ready yet anyway, so he might as well go back and see which Soul Spirits were suitable.
After watching the two little ones return to their rooms, Tang Ziran, exhausted after a full day, yawned and prepared to rest for a while. Instead, Lang Yue grabbed him and dragged him into the kitchen to help.
In the room, Tang Li held the Soul Beast Encyclopedia and flipped to the section on dragons, beginning to search for Sub-Dragon Soul Beasts that still existed and might successfully become Soul Spirits.
Beside him, Tang Wulin could only alternate between looking at the illustrations in the book and looking at Tang Li's serious little face. Tang Wulin was only six years old and had never attended school, so she barely recognized any words!
"Little Li, why can't I remember the knowledge in the dictionary?"
Tang Wulin had once been curious about how Tang Li knew how to read. Tang Li had told her that he learned from a dictionary, so Tang Wulin had tried it too, only to discover that she could not remember anything...
"It's fine. You're only six, so what's the rush? Teachers will teach you once you start school."
After finding several fairly suitable targets, Tang Li casually replied, having completely forgotten that he was younger than Tang Wulin.
"What do you mean? You're only six too, and you're several months younger than me!"
"I'm a genius. You know, a genius? I'm not like you." Tang "Jiahao" Li replied without even looking up.
"I guess that's true. Little Li really isn't the same as me anymore," Tang Wulin muttered quietly.
"All right, I looked through them for you. There are quite a few dragon-type Soul Beasts suitable for your Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul. The most likely ones you might encounter are Golden Earth Dragons, Steel-Back Earth Dragons, Dragon Pythons, Giant-Claw Earth Dragons, and the like. Of course, you can actually fuse with any dragon-type creature. Attributes don't matter, since your Clear Sky Hammer has no attribute."
"They're all earth dragons? Aren't there any True Dragons or something?" Tang Wulin asked curiously. With her lack of knowledge, almost everything she knew about Soul Beasts came from stories.
"My dear big sister! There are only a few True Dragon Soul Beasts in the entire Douluo Continent! They're super predators at the top of the food chain. Where is the Spirit Pagoda supposed to get one for you?"
Tang Li rolled his eyes at Tang Wulin in annoyance. Among the surviving pure-blooded True Dragon Soul Beasts, aside from Di Tian, the son of the Light Dragon King and Dark Dragon King, there was probably only Ziji, the Hell Demon Dragon King, left.
There were at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand, top-tier Soul Masters who wanted to hunt them. So why were they still alive? Because humans were kind?
Obviously not. Even the Spirit Ice Douluo, who had been invincible in the human world ten thousand years ago, had only defeated Di Tian with a pseudo-divine artifact and a divine artifact, accompanied by Soul Spirits including Evil Monarch and Snow Emperor, ranked second and third among the Ten Great Beast Kings. Did the worthless trash on the continent now dare challenge Di Tian after getting drunk?
If the Silver Dragon King had not still been sleeping and Di Tian had not been unable to leave, he would probably have long since gone to blow up the Spirit Pagoda and Shrek.
Speaking of the Silver Dragon King...
Tang Wulin had even uninstalled QQ now. Could she still lure in that lecherous Dragon King?
At that thought, Tang Li's gaze toward Tang Wulin became strangely indescribable, as though he were evaluating merchandise.
"What kind of look is that! I've never been to school, so how would I know these things? Hmph! Stupid Little Li, I'm ignoring you!"
Tang Wulin pouted, turned away in a huff, and ran back to her bed to continue trying to cultivate using the Meditation Method Tang Ziran had given her.
Seeing this, Tang Li smiled helplessly and began researching Soul Beasts suitable for himself.
Most Tool Martial Souls did not need to purify their bloodline like Beast Martial Souls did, so there were not so many restrictions when choosing a Soul Spirit. It only needed to provide him with powerful Soul Skills.
Thus, Tang Li's first choices were creatures with special Soul Skills, such as Silver English Beasts, Evil Eyes, Devouring Dragons, Golden-Eyed White Apes, and the like.
However, those things were indeed rare, so he had already prepared himself to find a Pseudo-Dragon Soul Spirit with dragon blood. If there really were none, then he would find a jar instead.
But he was the Child of Providence chosen by the Plane Will. What was there to be afraid of dreaming about? What if he actually ran into one?
As he thought, Tang Li set down the book and looked up at Tang Wulin, who was scratching her head in frustration over the Meditation Method. He suddenly felt like teasing her.
"Wulin, call me big brother and I'll give you some pointers. How about it?"
Tang Wulin barely recognized any words to begin with. Trying to successfully meditate just by looking at the meridian diagrams was far too difficult, but calling Tang Li big brother made her too embarrassed to say it aloud...
So she decided to play dirty! ୧⍢⃝୨
Tang Wulin lunged forward and jumped straight onto Tang Li's bed, pinning him firmly beneath her as she threatened him in her fiercest tone:
"Stupid Little Li, teach me already, or I'll spank you!"
Looking at this older sister who was trying to act fierce but instead looked like a tiny milk kitten, Tang Li burst out laughing.
"Ha ha ha, all right, I'll teach you. Don't get so worked up."
Laughing aside, he truly was no match for Tang Wulin in a fight. This monstrously strong girl could lift him up and swing him around like a jump rope.
"Hmph hmph, then hurry up and teach me, or else... or else I'll make you sleep without a bed tonight!"
The victorious Tang Wulin excitedly hummed twice, shoved Tang Li aside with her butt, then sat cross-legged on his bed in the five-hearts-facing-heaven posture.
Tang Li sent the soul power cultivated through the Mysterious Heaven Skill into Tang Wulin's body and began guiding her along the circulation route of the basic Meditation Method from her father Tang Ziran.
They had only completed less than half a circulation when Lang Yue came knocking at the door. Her gentle voice drifted in from outside:
"Linlin, Little Li, come out and eat! Mommy made a new dish tonight. Come taste it."
"Big sister is cultivating. I'll wake her up, then we'll come." Tang Li answered his mother first, then slowly withdrew his soul power and said to Tang Wulin:
"All right, I'll guide your meditation tonight. It's time to eat now."
Tang Wulin opened her eyes, recalling the relaxed sensation of soul power flowing through her body. When she looked at Tang Li again, her eyes held a faint trace of admiration.
"Little Li, you're amazing! Come on, come on, I'm starving!"
Tang Wulin then jumped off the bed and pulled Tang Li toward the kitchen to eat.
Sitting at the table and looking at the dishes before her, complete in color, aroma, and flavor, Tang Wulin was practically drooling. Once Tang Ziran brought over the chopsticks, she impatiently asked:
"Dad, Mom, can I eat now?"
At that moment, Lang Yue also handed Tang Wulin a large bowl heaped with rice. "Eat, good girl. You're growing, so eat more."
But this originally warm family meal encountered a small accident...
By the time Tang Wulin lifted her bowl for the fifth time to get more rice, Tang Ziran and Lang Yue's faces were already filled with shock. The dishes on the table were being swept clean at a visible rate.
Tang Li wore a pained expression. He had barely eaten a few bites of this entire table of food! Tang Wulin had simply swept it all away like a whirlwind.
Only then did he realize what he had forgotten. So this was what he had forgotten!
"Mom, is there any more? I still want to eat..."
