Being your Soul Beast doesn't burn the heart

He would never directly absorb powerful Soul Beasts like Di Tian or Xiong Jun just to pursue a rapid increase in Soul Power or combat strength. Not only would that fail to improve his combat strength, it might even cause Di Tian's strength to decline drastically.

Establish the rules first, and the road ahead would grow ever wider. The rules could not be broken-that was Su Ling's code of conduct as a Soul Master.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host on absorbing the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit. The Soft Bone Rabbit's cultivation has increased to five hundred thousand years. The host's cultivation has increased by three levels."

"Congratulations to the host on obtaining an Innate Domain: Golden Body Domain. Allied units within the domain can gain invincibility."

"The host's First Martial Soul has reached perfection. Its standing is now equal to Douluo Star's, and it no longer fears Douluo Star's Plane Spirit."

Su Ling cleared his throat.

"Come back to life, my love!" After Su Ling shouted that classic line, a flash of pink light swept past, and Xiao Wu reappeared in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Sister Xiao Wu... you..." Da Ming and Er Ming stared at Xiao Wu in disbelief-or, more accurately, at Da Wu.

The one who appeared before them was no longer the little-girl Xiao Wu, but Xiao Wu in her adult form!

Da Ming and Er Ming could not have been more familiar with Xiao Wu's current appearance, because she now bore a seventy-to-eighty-percent resemblance to A Rou.

Apart from Gu Yue, Na'er, Bi Ji, and Zi JI, the four peeping toms who knew the plot well, the other Soul Beasts nearly had their jaws dislocated by the shock. Impure World Reincarnation?

"Kore wa nan desu ka?" The sight frightened the Scarlet King into blurting out his hometown tongue.

"What's going on? Am I dreaming?" Di Tian pinched his own face. Everything that had happened today was far too bizarre. First, a human Soul Master had been subjected to forced love by a Wind Baboon in the Star Dou Great Forest, and now dead beasts were coming back to life.

Su Ling: Thanks to the Di Tian Chinese localization team.

Xiong Jun slapped Di Tian across the face. Di Tian let out an "Awooo~" before glaring viciously at Xiong Jun.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Mm, you can feel pain. Looks like this isn't a dream."

Just then, Snow Ji and Xiao Wu jumped out, one on either side.

"Since you've asked so sincerely..."

"Then I'll be merciful enough to tell you!"

"Xiao Wu!"

"Snow Ji!"

"You two, shoo, shoo, shoo~"

Su Ling pushed the two aside and began explaining things to the beasts in detail.

"My Martial Soul is called Chaos Planet. The planet you saw on the horizon earlier was my Martial Soul. Soul Beasts that become my Soul Rings don't die. Instead, they live as independent individuals inside my Martial Soul. Of course, they can also stay in my Sea of Consciousness."

The Ferocious Beasts: You made those terms up...

"Not only will they not die, their cultivation will also increase dramatically. At my current Soul Power of level thirty, I can directly raise Soul Beasts with cultivation below five hundred thousand years to five hundred thousand years. As for those above five hundred thousand years, I don't know yet, but they should receive a considerable boost too."

Damn, there's a deal this good? Why didn't you say so sooner?

Xiong Jun shoved aside Di Tian, who was blocking his way. "Actually, I also have a heart willing to dedicate itself to the Soul Beast Clan!"

In truth, he had long found Di Tian an eyesore. Were kings, nobles, generals, and ministers born to their stations? Why did he always have to be firmly kept a head below him?

But catching up with Di Tian through his own cultivation was clearly unrealistic. He had tried both diligent cultivation and consuming heavenly treasures, yet the gap between him and Di Tian was like an insurmountable chasm. Now, however, as long as he latched onto Su Ling, he could easily break through to five hundred thousand years of cultivation.

That rabbit just now was the perfect example. He remembered clearly that the rabbit had only had a hundred thousand years of cultivation at first. After becoming Su Ling's Soul Ring, she had turned into a Ferocious Beast with five hundred thousand years of cultivation in the blink of an eye.

Bi Ji and Zi JI were not happy about this.

Good heavens, big guy, who even are you? Ever heard of first come, first served?

"There's something even more important!"

"Actually, I have the legendary Twin Martial Souls!"

The next second, two spheres appeared in Su Ling's hands, orbiting each other. One was blue and green, brimming with the aura of life.

The other was a dull gray, like a Primordial Stone, exactly as it had been when Su Ling first awakened his Martial Soul.

"Twin Martial Souls?" Di Tian held out both hands and counted on his fingers one by one.

"One, two, three, four... seventeen, eighteen! In other words, your two Martial Souls can accommodate eighteen Soul Beasts at most?"

This was practically a Ferocious Beast factory. With Su Ling's help, would he still need to fear that their Soul Beasts could not beat humans?

"Then does that mean your Second Martial Soul can directly absorb three Soul Rings right now?"

Gu Yue walked up to Su Ling, feigning composure. Upon hearing Su Ling say that he had Twin Martial Souls, even she could no longer remain calm. Such tremendous power was already beyond anything she could scheme around.

As long as she could become Su Ling's Soul Beast, perhaps she could eventually cross even that insurmountable million-year gulf. Never mind fighting humans-she would have confidence even in confronting the gods of the Divine Realm.

What was more, Su Ling was only just at Level 30, yet Snow Ji and Xiao Wu could already reach fifty-five years of cultivation. Once Su Ling broke through to Titled Douluo, wouldn't they break straight through to a Million-Year cultivation? And from what she could see now, as long as she became Su Ling's Soul Beast, her injuries would heal instantly.

As for how much cultivation Soul Beasts like them could gain after Su Ling became a god, she did not even dare imagine it.

"Di Tian, Xiong Jun, and the others can all become your Soul Rings, as long as you're willing." Gu Yue only said this after careful consideration. If she carelessly went too far with her words and left no place for herself with Su Ling, she would be finished-she would gain nothing, and all her subordinates would run off.

"In theory, that's indeed the case, but a planet's ecosystem needs to be built up slowly. So I can't absorb so many Soul Beasts all at once just to improve my strength quickly. I've still decided to take it slowly."

"I plan to proceed gradually, starting with plant-type Soul Beasts, then herbivorous Soul Beasts."

Snow Ji came up to Su Ling. "You're as steady as ever."

Xiao Wu also hugged Su Ling, looking at him dotingly. Originally, she had been about the same age as him, but now she looked at him exactly as an older sister would look at her younger brother.

"Being your Soul Beast doesn't burn the heart."

Bi Ji: Why does this have a yellow-fruit flavor...

Zi JI: Isn't it red fruit?...

"Ding! Congratulations to Zhu Zhuyun on obtaining the opportunity to issue today's mission."

At that moment, Zhu Zhuyun was lying in her bedroom, bored out of her mind. She had never expected to get an opportunity to issue a mission. In the past, she could only envy others over something like this. Such good fortune had finally fallen to her.

But this would expose her identity. She just did not know whether her silly younger sister Zhu Zhuqing had permission to watch the livestream.

"Today's mission has been issued: attach the First Soul Ring to the Second Martial Soul. Reward: random domain ×1."
