Soul Ring Replacement Experiment

Three days later, when Xiao Chenyu provoked Tang San again, Tang San had no choice but to reveal his Soul Ring during the fight. Just as Bai Yu had expected, word spread from mouth to mouth, and Tang San and Great Master were completely disgraced.

You master and disciple keep claiming that you killed a Mandala Snake, that the master was injured by it, and that the disciple risked his life to save his master. Then where is the Mandala Snake's Soul Ring?

Failed to absorb it? Then why was Tang San still alive? You master and disciple must have been lying!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Bai Yu found Tang San and put on a guilty expression as he apologized, saying that he had never expected things to turn out this way.

Tang San trusted Bai Yu more than he trusted his own father. How could he possibly suspect Bai Yu was the one behind it all? He only felt that everyone else was drunk while he alone was sober. The world had gone mad—not Tang San!

After finishing all this, Su Lin once again sent Bai Yu a letter inviting him to the Soul Hunting Forest. However, when the messenger delivered the letter, Bai Yu was not in his room. Instead, Xiao Wu, who often bothered him and happened to be next door, ran into the messenger, took the letter, and insisted on accompanying Bai Yu.

After giving it some thought, Bai Yu realized that Xiao Wu's Soul Ring had condensed on its own rather than coming from a hunted soul beast. This was the perfect chance to test whether her Soul Ring could be replaced.

Thus, Bai Yu, Xiao Wu, Su Lin, and Uncle Huang entered the Soul Hunting Forest together.

Bai Yu looked at Su Lin and smiled as he tested the waters.

"Brother Su, that Soul Elder from your family didn't come today?"

Su Lin answered without the slightest suspicion, smiling.

"Ah, Soul Elders have their own matters to attend to. Besides, we can't possibly venture deep into the Soul Hunting Forest every time. This time, I only planned to try our luck around the outskirts, so Uncle Huang came with us."

Uncle Huang smiled at Bai Yu and Xiao Wu.

"Bai Yu, several families on good terms with the Su Family have heard of you. If there's a chance in the future, they'll invite you to explore the Soul Hunting Forest with them as well."

That would give me many more chances to enter the Soul Hunting Forest. I can't always tag along with the Su Family. Bai Yu smiled.

"Thank you, Uncle Huang."

Behind him, Xiao Wu quietly tugged at Bai Yu's clothes. She had a bellyful of questions she wanted to ask, such as how Bai Yu had gotten involved with the Su Family, and what exactly he had done to make them treat him so well. In short, like a young girl, she was interested in everything about the person she secretly liked.

Bai Yu patiently told her the story. Most of it was true, though he made up some small details. He knew Xiao Wu was like an oversized brat—impulsive and fond of excitement—so the details he fabricated made her eyes light up.

Just then, a howl suddenly rang out in the distance, booming like thunder and startling Xiao Wu!

Xiao Wu took the chance to grab Bai Yu's clothes and hide behind him, saying warily, "Can we run into powerful soul beasts even on the outskirts? Our luck can't be that bad, can it?"

Seeing this, Uncle Huang reassured her.

"Don't worry. Judging by the sound, it's very far from us. Some soul beasts might be fighting in the middle of the forest. It won't affect us. We're safe."

Fuck, don't jinx it. Bai Yu's heart tightened.

Seeing Xiao Wu's pitiful appearance, Su Lin had been about to tease her with a smile when a black shadow suddenly shot out of the nearby grass and lunged at him with lightning speed!

Whoosh!

Uncle Huang reacted in time. A flash of sword light forced the black shadow back, allowing the four of them to see clearly that it was a massive Black Panther. Although Uncle Huang had driven it back, its ferocity remained undiminished as it searched for another chance to attack.

"Judging by its size, it's a sixty-year-old Black Panther."

Xiao Wu frowned and muttered to herself, too quietly for anyone else to hear.

She had lived in the Star Dou Great Forest for so long that, even without deliberately studying them, she had seen countless soul beasts while following the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python. It was impossible for her not to know about them.

Uncle Huang, whose apparent strength was the greatest among the four, furrowed his brow and silently calculated.

This Black Panther is a little stronger than me, but with Bai Yu's support, Young Master Su and that girl are both one-ring Soul Masters. We may not be without a chance to win. If we kill this Black Panther, it'll definitely sell for a good price. It might even be worth several months of my wages.

Thinking this, Uncle Huang said in a low voice, "Prepare for battle. We'll slaughter this beast!"

Su Lin was eager to try, Bai Yu remained expressionless, while Xiao Wu secretly frowned, greatly dissatisfied with Uncle Huang's choice of words.

However, the Black Panther had no time to care about that. After finding an opening, it suddenly pounced at Xiao Wu!

Whether she was human or rabbit, it was not picky about food!

"Xiao Wu, move!"

Bai Yu shouted softly, summoning the Human Emperor Banner and activating his First Soul Skill, enveloping Xiao Wu within it.

Xiao Wu did not need Bai Yu's reminder. The instant the Black Panther lunged at her, she used her First Soul Skill, Waist Bow. Her flexibility increased dramatically, and with a twist of her waist, she dodged the panther's pounce in a move that looked dangerous but was actually perfectly safe.

At that moment, golden light from the Human Emperor Banner entered Xiao Wu's body. She felt her flexibility rise to another level, so she seized the Black Panther and nimbly leaped across its body. Planting a foot on its head, she kicked it toward another direction.

Uncle Huang instantly understood. He activated his Second Soul Skill and slashed his sword in that direction, aiming directly for the panther's head!

Caught completely off guard by their series of coordinated attacks, the Black Panther had no time to dodge and was cleaved to death in a single strike!

Yet one second before the Black Panther was killed, Bai Yu secretly used the Myriad Souls Banner to create an Illusionary Realm, affecting Su Lin, Xiao Wu, and Uncle Huang at the same time.

In the eyes of the three of them, the Black Panther had dodged Uncle Huang's attack and continued attacking them, while they kept fighting back.

But in reality, from Bai Yu's perspective, Uncle Huang was lifting his leg high, Su Lin was throwing punches, and Xiao Wu was twisting left and right in place as though she were dancing.

Bai Yu chuckled softly. Those below Soul Elder level could barely resist his Illusionary Realm, and the Myriad Souls Banner still had a large reserve of Soul Power. The Illusionary Realm could last for quite some time, so he unhurriedly walked over to the Black Panther's corpse and waited for its Soul Ring to appear.

In the past, he had always used Soul Devouring directly while soul beasts were still alive, so a Soul Ring had never appeared. But this Black Panther had been physically killed by Uncle Huang, so a white Soul Ring soon emerged.

Bai Yu summoned the Myriad Souls Banner and absorbed the Black Panther's Soul Ring without refining it, storing it temporarily instead. Then he walked behind Su Lin and attempted to draw out his Soul Ring. However, Su Lin in the Illusionary Realm suddenly revealed a pained expression.

Seeing this, Bai Yu quickly stopped. After thinking for a moment, he understood.

He shook the Myriad Souls Banner, and countless Light Spots appeared. This was the Soul Power stored within the Myriad Souls Banner. The Light Spots swiftly merged into Su Lin's body as Bai Yu continued drawing out his Soul Ring.

This time, Su Lin did not show any pain. His Soul Ring was smoothly drawn out, and Bai Yu immediately inserted the Black Panther's Soul Ring into him.

"It worked! I really can replace other people's Soul Rings. But when I drew out Su Lin's Soul Ring, he seemed to feel pain. That should be because his Soul Ring had already been fixed within his soul. Forcibly drawing it out was like tearing at his soul, which was why it hurt."

"To verify my guess, I used Soul Power to repair him while drawing out his Soul Ring. Sure enough, his pain lessened greatly. Hmm, now let's see whether I can replace Xiao Wu's Soul Ring too."

Bai Yu once again drew the Black Panther's Soul Ring out of Su Lin's body. This time, he did not use additional Soul Power to repair Su Lin, because the Black Panther's Soul Ring had only just entered Su Lin's body and had not yet fully settled in, so Su Lin did not feel any pain.

Bai Yu walked over to Xiao Wu, who was still dancing, and repeated the process. He drew out her Soul Ring and inserted the Black Panther's Soul Ring into her.

"It worked!"

Bai Yu was overjoyed. With this, he could cultivate his own trusted subordinates and build his own power!

At that moment, he had even decided on his title: Emperor Douluo!

As he envisioned the future, Bai Yu replaced Xiao Wu's original Soul Ring, then dispelled the Illusionary Realm before Xiao Wu and the other two.
