Among the Heavenly Spear's martial soul characteristics was its "connection to the sky, which strengthened it when fighting in the air." It also came with an airspace-restriction effect. This was the core mechanism that set it apart from other spear martial souls, such as the Soul Breaking Spear and the Snake Lance.
In terms of attributes, as a super tool martial soul of the power attack system, it was better suited to pursuing an extreme offense route.
Therefore, soul beasts with attributes geared toward sharpness and power attacks were the most suitable choices to become the Heavenly Spear's soul spirits.
Of course, soul beasts of the light and power attack systems would also work.
Soon, somewhere near the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest, the four of them discovered a ten-thousand-year Light Saint Tiger, a soul beast with light and powerful offensive attributes.
However, this Light Saint Tiger seemed to be injured.
"This soul beast will do. Having it become my first soul spirit and provide a ten thousand year soul ring will definitely work. Besides, I've read about this kind of soul beast in books. They're relatively gentle and won't attack unless you're an enemy."
"But I don't know whether he can understand what we mean. After all, when using the Soul Spirit Method to get a ten thousand year soul ring right at the start at your age, my lord, both sides need to be willing at the very least. So we still need to communicate with him."
"That's right. If you want your first soul ring to be a ten thousand year soul ring, my lord, you at least need to communicate with him and get him to willingly become your first soul spirit. Otherwise, if you force it, something will definitely go wrong with your body and mind."
So said the two Leng sisters.
"In any case, let's give it a try first."
"Gu Luoyi, stay here with Yulai. I'll go try with our lord. Once we succeed, we'll help you get your first soul spirit."
"All right," Gu Luoyi said.
Then the two of them walked up to the Light Saint Tiger.
The Light Saint Tiger was already injured, so when he saw the two of them, he immediately roared, telling them to leave at once.
"Don't be like that, Light Saint Tiger." Leng Yaozhu made a few gestures, indicating that she would not hurt him.
In the original setting of Douluo Continent, ten-thousand-year soul beasts already possessed clear intelligence, but not all ten-thousand-year soul beasts could speak or communicate normally like humans.
However, a high-ranking soul beast on the level of a Light Saint Tiger should already have been capable of understanding human speech and possessed a certain degree of intelligence, so communication should still have been possible.
"We want to make a deal with you."
Kai spoke then. Upon hearing those words, the Light Saint Tiger began to think without speaking. The thing was, though, he should have been able to understand human language.
Leng Yaozhu then drew out the process of the Soul Spirit Contract on the ground, indicating that they wanted to form a Soul Spirit Contract. She also indicated that a soul beast that became a soul spirit could remain alive, merely taking on the form of a soul spirit.
The Light Saint Tiger roughly understood what she meant. Simply put, he would become something like a soul and fight alongside this soul master.
Without speaking, he led the two of them to a place, where I saw a Light Saint Tiger around ten years old, still only a cub.
His meaning was probably quite clear: he wanted them to look after his child, and in return, he would become a soul spirit.
"Do you want us to look after your child?"
"Roar."
"We agree to help look after your child, but you must be willing to sign a Soul Spirit Contract with me."
"Roar," the Light Saint Tiger said with a nod.
Then the Light Saint Tiger said a few things to his child, and his child shed some tears.
After the father and child exchanged a few words, the Light Saint Tiger came to Kai's side and began forming the Soul Spirit Contract.
Soon afterward, the Soul Spirit Contract began. Before long, the Light Saint Tiger entered Kai's body, becoming the first ten-thousand-year soul spirit to sign a contract with him.
Then two ten thousand year soul rings appeared around Kai at once. In this era, that could be called a miracle. In this era, the optimal soul ring configuration for a soul master was yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red.
But in this era, hundred-thousand-year soul beasts were very rare. Even after reaching the Titled Douluo level, many soul masters could only obtain a ten-thousand-year ring for their final soul ring.
Even Sword Douluo Chen Xin only had a ten thousand year soul ring.
Among Titled Douluos, he was someone who could reach rank 97, a Titled Douluo with the top-tier sword martial soul, the Seven Kill Sword. Despite being able to reach rank 97, he still only had a ten thousand year soul ring.
His configuration was also yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black.
It was clear that obtaining a ten thousand year soul ring right at the beginning was already something of a miracle.
Even Bibi Dong, who possessed twin martial souls, had started with a yellow, yellow, purple, purple configuration.
Then the two of them returned with the Light Saint Tiger cub and named the cub Adola.
"That Light Saint Tiger had a child. He asked us to help look after this child, and in return, he became our soul spirit. Now it's done. We already have a ten-thousand-year soul spirit, but we also have to look after this soul beast."
"It doesn't matter anyway. We seized a noble household's property, so we can afford to raise a soul beast. Besides, this child isn't hostile toward us, and that Light Saint Tiger didn't die anyway."
Then the Light Saint Tiger appeared in his soul spirit form. Adola was very happy to see the cub's father and roared at him, and the Light Saint Tiger responded happily as well.
"All right, now we need to help you get a thousand-year soul spirit. Your aptitude fully qualifies you for one."
"This is a soul spirit. You've seen it too, haven't you?"
"So this is a soul spirit. The soul beast is actually still alive. I thought that if humans wanted soul rings, they had to hunt soul beasts and obtain their soul rings to grow stronger. Now it turns out there's actually a method like this. I've never even heard of it?"
Gu Luoyi truly had not expected that soul rings could be obtained through a contract like this. Forming a contract with a soul beast to obtain a soul spirit, which then provided soul rings, was truly hard to believe.
It was normal not to believe it. After all, soul spirits had yet to appear in this era. Besides, soul spirits were originally something created in this world by Electrolux, the supreme Holy Necromancer from the neighboring universe-or rather, the neighboring world, the world of Throne of Seal, also known as the Holy Demon Continent.
Honestly, even during the Peerless Tang Sect era, this was still something astonishing that gave people quite a shock.
"You must remember to keep yourself safe. We'll protect you too, but remember that you must be cautious. There are many bad people in this world. People like us are already very rare; most people are bad.
"Don't casually reveal the Soul Spirit Method either. You can only tell others after getting our permission."
"Yes."
