The Complete Soul Beast Pokédex Collection Plan and the Father of Modern Soul Masters, Lin Mo!
Lin Mo strolled leisurely through the dense forest of the Star Dou Great Forest.
A Minimize Charizard perched on his shoulder, its tail flames swaying gently.
The man and the dragon wandered aimlessly through this vast forest, thoroughly enjoying the surrounding scenery.
Lin Mo had collected those Soul Beast that he hadn't yet come to gather.
Charizard are those Soul Beast that look like they have delicious meat, but what exactly do they taste like?
As Lin Mo walked, he released his spiritual power to probe the surrounding Soul Beast that he had not yet collected.
Soon, a predator and its prey were locked in a standoff less than two hundred meters from Lin Mo.
The predator was a leopard-like Soul Beast with a jet-black body, its muscles taut, ready to pounce on the rabbit Soul Beast not far in front of it.
Just as it was about to launch its attack, a spatial rift suddenly appeared around them.
The sudden commotion startled both Soul Beast, and their gazes simultaneously turned to the crack.
Sensing this, Lin Mo raised his hand and gently waved in that direction.
Soon, the two Soul Beast felt themselves bound and then "accidentally" fell into a spatial rift.
The crack closed, the silver light disappeared, and the two Soul Beast vanished with it.
Lin Mo withdrew his hand and continued walking forward.
The Charizard, which also witnessed this scene, yawned Yawn.
Several days have passed since it arrived in the Star Dou Great Forest with Lin Mo.
During this time, Lin Mo has been doing things that it doesn't understand.
Capture Soul Beast, capture all kinds of Soul Beast.
Lin Mo was collecting all sorts of different Soul Beast as if he were completing some kind of complete Pokédex achievement.
We want all kinds, and we accept people of all cultivation levels.
Then, one by one, they were banished to their personal little worlds.
Although the Charizard didn't understand why Lin Mo was doing this, to it, these things were unimportant and didn't matter.
As long as I can stay by Lin Mo's side and have something to eat, that's enough for me.
Everything else is irrelevant.
Not long after, deep within the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Alright, that's five males and five females, we're done and that's it."
Lin Mo clapped his hands, looked at the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent that had disappeared from the spot not far away, and said with satisfaction.
Those Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent were entirely Red, with large, blood-red fleshy crests on their heads, fan-shaped tails, and pale red wings.
They had previously been swallowed by the spatial rift and sent into their personal mini-worlds.
Five males and five females, not one missing.
During this time, he did his best to complete the collection of the entire Pokédex.
He tried his best to collect five male and five female Soul Beast for each type.
Unfortunately, the number of Soul Beast living in the Star Dou Great Forest today is much smaller than it was ten thousand years ago.
For those Soul Beast that still have a large number of them, finding his target—five males and five females—is a fairly simple task for Lin Mo.
However, for some Soul Beast whose numbers have drastically decreased for various reasons, finding their traces is not so simple.
Not to mention collecting five males and five females, which is even more difficult than climbing to heaven.
The Charizard suddenly raised its head from his shoulder and twitched its nose a few times.
Lin Mo sensed something, stopped, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
Two familiar auras are rapidly approaching.
A moment later, a snow-white figure emerged from the dense forest.
The young Snow Empress walked towards Lin Mo through the ice and snow, with rows of frozen cages stretching out behind her.
"Here you go, the Soul Beast you requested."
The usually aloof voice of the young Snow Empress became strained at this moment.
His tone and expression perfectly captured the image of a miserable worker who had been tormented by an unscrupulous boss for a long time.
Lin Mo subconsciously looked behind the young girl Snow Empress, and the next moment he saw the almost continuous frozen cage behind her.
Each cage contains a Soul Beast, without exception.
However, these Soul Beast vary in strength, with the strong possessing ten thousand years of cultivation and the weak having only a hundred years.
"You did a good job," Lin Mo praised.
After saying that, Lin Mo reached out and ruffled the head of the young girl Snow Empress, making her long silver-white hair messy.
Seeing this, the young Snow Empress showed an extremely unwilling expression on her face, and even turned her head to the side, refusing to look at Lin Mo.
But before she knew it, the snow-white neck and cheeks that were clung to by the rosy clouds had already betrayed her true thoughts.
Lin Mo ignored the Snow Empress, who was pretending to be coy, and instead walked up behind her, his gaze sweeping over the rows of ice and snow cages.
Lin Mo's eyes immediately lit up.
Seeing Lin Mo's expression, the young Snow Empress pouted.
In Lin Mo's view, could these Soul Beast be more attractive than her?
Soon, Lin Mo raised his hand and smashed the cages in front of him, releasing all the Soul Beast inside.
The force was just right; it only shattered the cage without harming the Soul Beast trapped inside.
The Soul Beast that were suddenly released were clearly stunned.
They couldn't understand why the man in front of them, after instructing another person to capture them, would suddenly release them all.
However, they didn't have much time to think about this problem.
The next moment, patches of silver light lit up from all around them.
A flash of silver light illuminated their bodies, making them appear almost transparent.
After the silver light disappeared, all the Soul Beast vanished from their original locations.
Without exception, they all arrived in Lin Mo's personal little world.
After finishing these tasks, Lin Mo clapped his hands in satisfaction, as if he could already see the Pokédex notification of "+1+1" flashing in front of him.
The satisfaction of completing his Pokédex brought a slight smile to his lips.
Before long, the elegant and powerful Snow Empress also returned safely.
Behind her followed a series of icy cages, each imprisoning a large number of Soul Beast.
However, upon closer inspection, the types of Soul Beast captured by the Snow Empress had very little overlap with those captured by the young Snow Empress.
The same scene repeated itself.
Lin Mo raised his hand and shattered the cage. Silver light enveloped the released Soul Beast, sending them one by one into his personal little world.
The whole process was smooth and fluid, and it was a pleasure to watch.
The young girl, Snow Empress, who had been silently observing Lin Mo's every move, finally couldn't contain her excitement and looked at Lin Mo with a huff, asking:
" Lin Mo, what exactly are you doing in the Star Dou Great Forest?"
"Is capturing these weak Soul Beast what you call 'the important thing'?"
Her cheeks were still slightly flushed, and her icy blue eyes were filled with confusion.
The young Snow Empress never imagined that she, the ruler of the Far North, would be reduced to doing such trivial tasks under Lin Mo after being forced to follow him.
She was already forced to take care of the child for a while before, but now Lin Mo is actually making her do this kind of thing again.
It was one thing to capture those weak, insignificant Soul Beast, but to also have to select males and females according to certain requirements was something she simply couldn't understand.
"What use are these Soul Beast, whose cultivation level is at most ten thousand years, to you?"
"You arrested them just for fun?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo smiled slightly and said, "These Soul Beast are naturally of little use to improve my own strength."
"But I need them for other purposes."
"What's it for?" the young girl Snow Empress immediately asked.
During this time, she had been constantly being ordered around by Lin Mo, and she hadn't been doing anything particularly important.
She's going to go everywhere to catch Soul Beast.
Moreover, Lin Mo had quite a few requirements; he insisted on male and female pairs, and once he had caught enough of one type of Soul Beast, he would move on to catch another.
The types cannot be repeated.
This kind of tedious work really bored her.
Instead of making her do this kind of mechanical, repetitive work, it would be better to send her to fight Di Tian.
That would at least be somewhat interesting, and you could also see Di Tian's shocked expression.
Thinking of this, a look of joy appeared on the face of the young Snow Empress, but she was quickly brought back to reality by the heavy blow of hardship.
It seems she'll still have to do these boring jobs.
How so?
Lin Mo sighed, pondered for a moment, and said, "I'm doing something truly great, something of epoch-making significance for the Soul Master profession."
"Researching Artificial Soul Ring."
" Soul Ring can be artificially created?" The young Snow Empress's eyes widened in surprise.
Lin Mo nodded and said, "Sure, didn't I show you my Soul Ring before?"
"Of the ten Soul Ring of my Body Martial Soul, six are related to Artificial Soul Ring."
"Of course, to be precise, these Soul Ring are God-Given Soul Ring, bestowed by the gods."
However, so-called gods are, in essence, nothing more than humans whose strength has exceeded a certain limit.
"Since the gods can bestow the Soul Ring they need in a divinely granted manner."
If we could thoroughly understand the principles behind God-Given Soul Ring, then it wouldn't be necessary for every Artificial Soul Ring to be like God-Given Soul Ring, granting the absorber the Soul Ring most suitable for them.
Even if it's just a degraded version of the God-Given Soul Ring with a fixed level, fixed quality, and fixed Soul Skill, that is, Artificial Soul Ring.
It can also play a crucial role in resolving the current and future predicaments faced by Soul Master.
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, the young Snow Empress was completely dumbfounded.
This undoubtedly challenges her understanding.
In her understanding, normally, Soul Ring can only appear by hunting Soul Beast, and only after the Soul Beast dies.
This is also the most acute conflict between Soul Master and Soul Beast.
Soul Master must hunt down Soul Beast and absorb the Soul Ring they produce after their deaths in order to break through their current bottleneck.
Soul Beast often hunt and eat human Soul Master to quickly improve their cultivation.
However, whether it was the Snow Empress from ten thousand years ago or the Snow Empress of this era, as ancient beings who have lived for nearly seven hundred thousand years, they have a clear understanding of the future of the Soul Master profession.
Compared to the growth and reproduction speed of Soul Master, the reproduction and growth speed of Soul Beast simply cannot keep up with the consumption required by Soul Master.
The Snow Empress, who suddenly arrived in this era from ten thousand years ago, has a deep understanding of this.
Ten thousand years ago, she also came to the Star Dou Great Forest.
However, the Star Dou Great Forest of her era was far superior in terms of the number, variety, and overall strength of the Soul Beast living there compared to this era ten thousand years later.
The Star Dou Great Forest has shrunk considerably in size due to the unrestrained expansion by humans.
Of course, due to the extremely harsh environment of the Far North, the conditions for the Soul Beast living there are much better than in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Even so, in the long run, the Soul Beast of the Far North will eventually face the same fate.
If we allow human Soul Master and the emerging profession of Soul Engineer to continue to develop unchecked, Soul Beast will likely face extinction within ten thousand years due to excessive exploitation by humans.
The human Soul Master profession will also perish because it will lose its source of Soul Ring.
This is a lose-lose future, from which neither side can escape unscathed.
That's why they were surprised by the grand future Lin Mo promised.
If Soul Ring could be artificially created, the biggest conflict between Soul Master and Soul Beast would be alleviated.
Soul Master no longer need to hunt Soul Beast to obtain Soul Ring, and Soul Beast no longer need to hunt Soul Master for self-preservation.
Is it possible?
After a long silence, the young Snow Empress stared intently at Lin Mo with her beautiful eyes, as if asking expectantly.
Lin Mo nodded. "The success rate should be extremely high."
" Electrolux has recovered quite a bit. He's recently read through all the books on Soul Master that I gave him that were available on the market, and he has a basic understanding of the origin and development of the Soul Master profession."
Regarding the research on Artificial Soul Ring, Electrolux stated that he was quite interested and very confident he could complete it.
At this point, Lin Mo couldn't help but recall the scene from a few days ago when he impulsively decided to visit Electrolux in the small world.
At that time, Lin Mo knew a great deal about Lex's understanding of Soul Master and Soul Beast, as well as the progress of his research on Artificial Soul Ring.
What Lin Mo couldn't quite understand was why Electrolux had acted as if he was being forced at the time.
At that moment, Electrolux was sitting amidst a pile of books, his brow furrowed, looking as if he had been working continuously for a long time.
Fortunately, Electrolux's response was quite firm.
He was quite confident that he could complete the research on Artificial Soul Ring.
Yes, that's right, Electrolux must be thinking the same thing.
His tired look was simply because he was too engrossed in his work; Electrolux had always been passionate about research.
Lin Mo quickly gathered his scattered thoughts and looked at the young Snow Empress, saying:
"That's why I asked you to help me capture Soul Beast; the formation of Soul Ring is closely related to Soul Beast."
"The more Soul Beast we capture, and the more diverse their species, the faster Electrolux will be able to research Artificial Soul Ring and even Artificial Soul Bone."
"With the addition of these massive samples, plus the few God-Given Soul Ring I provided to Electrolux for his research, Electrolux's research progress will be much faster."
"It shouldn't be too long before the first batch of Artificial Soul Ring appears."
Lin Mo said with considerable confidence that he had a great deal of faith in Electrolux's research capabilities.
"If this research really succeeds, then you can be called the father of modern Soul Master," the mature and elegant Snow Empress remarked from the side.
Even though she wasn't human, she understood the profound significance of this research for human Soul Master.
Hearing this, Lin Mo smiled.
As the saying goes, since we're already here, we should leave something behind for the world before we leave.
But soon, the young girl Snow Empress interrupted Lin Mo's thoughts.
"And Lin Mo, I think I found the trail of that big tortoise you asked me to keep an eye out for..."
Her tone suddenly became hesitant, and her icy blue eyes shifted slightly. "It's just that it's rather slippery; it might get away if you're not careful."
