Blue Silver Emperor 1

That night.

Su Ling lay on his hard wooden bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

"System," Su Ling called inwardly, "analyze my Martial Soul."

"Ding-[Martial Soul Analysis] activated."

"Martial Soul name: Chaos Planet."

"Core attributes: carrying capacity, evolution, absorption."

"Current tier: one."

"Description: the Planet Martial Soul is not an ordinary stone sphere, but a genuine planet in a miniaturized state. The planet possesses an independent space capable of accommodating living beings and resources. As the host's Soul Power increases, the planet will gradually grow larger, and the maximum level of life it can support will also increase."

Su Ling froze.

A planet?

His Martial Soul was actually a planet?

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he kept reading.

"[Core ability one: Mass Alteration] The host's Planet Martial Soul has a mass of five hundred septillion metric tons.

The host may freely alter the Martial Soul's mass between zero and its maximum mass.

That gave Su Ling quite a fright.

With his Martial Soul's ability, he wouldn't even need to cultivate. He could go straight to declaring, 'I don't eat beef,' right now.

When he had beaten Tang San during the day, he had indeed felt that his Martial Soul had a different mass for other people than it did in his hands. He just hadn't expected it to be this heavy.

Su Ling inspected his Martial Soul's panel. "Current Martial Soul mass: five thousand jin."

Below it was another box where he could enter numbers to adjust his Martial Soul's mass.

"One hundred and eight thousand jin."

Su Ling changed his Martial Soul's manifested mass to one hundred and eight thousand jin. He remembered that the Sea Cucumber Trident only weighed that much.

"[Core ability two: Ecological Absorption] The host does not need to hunt Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings. The host may directly absorb Soul Beasts and incorporate them into the Planetary Ecosystem. Absorbed Soul Beasts will continue living and reproducing within the planet. Their cultivation will be converted into the host's Soul Ring age and Soul Power."

"Does that mean I don't have to kill Soul Beasts? I can just absorb them?"

"Ding-correct. After the host absorbs a Soul Beast, it will become part of the Planetary Ecosystem and continue living. The species and age of the absorbed Soul Beast will determine the Soul Ring ability the host obtains. For the First Soul Ring, absorbing a Plant-type Soul Beast is recommended to stabilize the foundations of the Planetary Ecosystem. Absorption command: simply shout the Soul Beast's name aloud to successfully absorb it."

Su Ling took a deep breath.

This function really was incredibly useful.

Other people had to hunt Soul Beasts to absorb Soul Rings. A Soul Ring would only appear after the Soul Beast died.

He, on the other hand, only needed to shout the Soul Beast's name, and his Soul Ring's age would keep increasing as the Soul Beast's cultivation improved.

"Then what Plant-type Soul Beast should I absorb for my First Soul Ring?"

Blue Silver Grass? It felt like a very suitable choice. This plant grew quickly and had tenacious vitality.

Suddenly, Su Ling's smile froze. He had thought of a better choice.

The Blue Silver Emperor.

Tang San's mother.

He put away his Martial Soul and closed his eyes, racking his brain to remember. In the original story, Hao had planted her in a secluded cave.

Right now, that Blue Silver Emperor was in a valley fifty li northwest of Holy Soul Village.

If he absorbed the Blue Silver Emperor...

Wait.

Su Ling shook his head sharply. No, no. What if Tang Hao had set up some kind of formation there? If Tang Hao noticed, that Titled Douluo was no pushover. Though he was a wreck now, if it really came to a fight, a little brat like Su Ling wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.

Wait, with a Martial Soul like his, why should he be afraid of Tang Hao?

If a hundred thousand jin wasn't enough, then two hundred thousand jin!

He could crush Tang Hao to death with sheer weight.

Another notification came from the system.

"Ding, absorbing the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor will grant the innate domain: [Blue Silver Domain]. Effect: forms a domain of Blue Silver Grass around the host. Blue Silver Grass within its range will be under the host's control and can entangle, restrain, and sense enemies. At the same time, the Planetary Ecosystem will gain a foundation of high-tier plants, tripling the cultivation speed of Soul Beasts absorbed afterward."

Now Su Ling was thoroughly tempted.

Blue Silver Domain. Triple cultivation speed for Soul Beasts.

How could he get the tiger's cub without entering its den?

No sooner said than done!

"System, if I absorb the Blue Silver Emperor, will she still be alive?"

"Ding, absorbed Soul Beasts survive in physical form within the planet, retaining their consciousness and memories. Large numbers of their kind without higher consciousness will also be generated instantly, and they will obey the host completely. The host may also summon them into the present world."

Su Ling's eyes lit up.

Now that was great.

Didn't that mean he could not only obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, but also cover his planet in Blue Silver Emperors and get an Ah Yin as his wife?

Wouldn't that make Tang San his son?

Su Ling tapped his fingers against his knee.

For his Second Soul Ring, he could get a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit, and the Soft Bone Rabbit could eat the Blue Silver Emperor.

Perfectly reasonable-in the Ganges.

"This needs some careful planning."

This left Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, and the others, who were staying up late watching the livestream, utterly excited.

What kind of Trash Martial Soul was this supposed to be?

This was clearly born invincible!

As long as Su Ling wanted to, he could even smash the Douluo Continent apart with it.

Su Ling immediately left his wooden bed.

He slipped quietly out the front door, afraid of waking Old Jack.

Early the next morning.

Old Jack knocked on Su Ling's door for ages, only to find that no one answered.

This made him a little anxious.

He pushed the door open.

Old Jack looked around. There was no sign of Su Ling.

Just as he thought something might have happened to Su Ling,

he spotted the letter Su Ling had left on the table.

[Grandpa Jack, I'm going to town to have fun for a couple of days. Don't worry.]

"That little rascal. The moment he gets money, he wants to throw it around."

Old Jack simply assumed Su Ling wanted to splurge now that he had received twenty Gold Soul Coins from Su Yuntao.

Still, Old Jack wasn't too worried. After all, he knew Su Ling's temperament.

At most, Su Ling would go eat things he normally couldn't bear to spend money on. He would never visit those red-light establishments.

"Achoo!"

Sitting on an ox cart, Su Ling let out a huge sneeze.

Looks like Grandpa Jack is missing me.

He had hired an ox cart and was heading toward the location he remembered.

Ah Yin, hehehe, here I come.

"Little San."

Tang Hao lectured Tang San on life's great principles while drinking thick white rice porridge.

"You must use the hammer in your left hand to protect the grass in your right hand, but you must never reveal the hammer in your left hand in front of outsiders."

Tang San kept nodding like a chick pecking at grain.

Although he didn't know how to protect the grass in his right hand without revealing the hammer in his left,

this was the first time Tang Hao had spoken to him with such earnest care, and it made him feel a deep fatherly love.

"Don't think Daddy is hurting you by making you drink thin porridge every day."

Tang San didn't quite understand. Every time they cooked at home, they only used a little rice, and Tang Hao ate all of it. He could only drink rice water every day.

"Daddy once studied a medical art. The broth you get from boiling rice is rice oil. It's good for children."

Tang San suddenly understood. All this time, Tang Hao had been thinking of his well-being.

"Thank you for all your care, Daddy. Sob, sob, sob."

Tears welled uncontrollably in the corners of Tang San's eyes. So this was fatherly love.

"It's all right, Little San. This is what a father should do."
