Another Use for Contract Soul Beasts
"Sigh, I told you all to study more, but who told you to all go raise sows?" Chu Feng rolled his eyes.
Of this group, only Tang San has some education; the rest are all military officers.
However, we can't blame them for this. After all, in a world where strength reigns supreme, cultivation is more useful than studying.
This situation only changed with the advent of Soul Tool.
After all, without the systematic support of Soul Guidance Technology provided by the academy, it would be very difficult to create Soul Tool.
"My fists are strong enough, I don't need them," Ma Hongjun said anxiously, because he had indeed been assigned by Chu Feng to raise pigs.
"Then give me back my Battle Armor," Tang San said, reaching out his hand.
"No, studying is useful." Ma Hongjun immediately backed down.
Chu Feng shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, it's time to go find the Soul Beast."
"This time, the target is a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
With Soul Power and mental strength level of 40, Tang San and his companions could form contracts with Soul Beast for over ten thousand years.
"Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring! Our fourth Soul Ring is already ten thousand years old!" Oscar rubbed his hands together excitedly.
Normally, Soul Master's fifth Soul Ring is Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.
And they were the fourth.
They selected targets based on the strength of the Contract Soul Ring; they weren't looking for ordinary Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.
"How infuriating!" Dai Mubai, somewhat annoyed.
His fourth Soul Ring is only nine thousand years old, not ten thousand years, which puts him behind Tang San and the others.
"It's alright, Mubai. We'll find a way to upgrade your Soul Ring's age later," Chu Feng comforted him.
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai looked at Chu Feng with some surprise, and the others also widened their eyes.
Isn't the lifespan of Soul Ring fixed? It's fixed once you absorb it; how could it possibly increase later?
"There is a way; you'll find out once you reach the Titled Douluo."
Chu Feng was thinking about the God Trial; as long as he passed the God Trial, the age of his Soul Ring could be increased.
"Alright!" Dai Mubai smiled. As long as he could improve, he was confident that he could reach the Titled Douluo in the future.
"However, it's best if the new Contract Soul Beast is suitable for your attributes. It's better not to go down other paths, as it can easily cause conflicts in Soul Power attributes."
There are also limitations to Contract Soul Ring; they can only be contracted with Soul Beast of the same attribute.
Because Contract Soul Beast directly provides a boost to the Soul Master's attributes, injecting an attribute seed into the Soul Master's body.
Just like Tang San's Azure-Patterned Tenacious Life Spider, it gave him the attributes of life and tenacity, making his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul extremely powerful in terms of vitality and resilience.
After that, if Tang San wanted to form Contract Soul Ring, he couldn't have one that conflicted with these two attributes, otherwise it would cause a conflict with the Soul Power seed, like suffering an internal injury.
"That's natural." No one objected.
They themselves are looking for Contract Soul Beast that suits their Martial Soul, so it certainly won't conflict with their first Contract Soul Ring.
"Will the two Contract Soul Beast fight later?" Ning Rongrong asked softly.
Contract Soul Beast are living, breathing Soul Beast with their own consciousness, and they also have their own joys and sorrows. They may have conflicts and disagreements with newly contracted Soul Beast.
When they fight, what will they do? We can't just stand by and watch.
Just like with their own pets, they don't like any new members who join, since they take away the Soul Master's affection.
Ning Rongrong didn't want to see this situation.
She raised her hand and summoned the Starlight Spirit Deer.
The Starlight Spirit Deer landed on her shoulder, nuzzled her neck affectionately, and let out a soft, melodious cry.
"Little deer, how about I find you a companion?" She planned to ask the Starlight Spirit Deer for its opinion first.
The Starlight Spirit Deer tilted its head, thought for a moment, then jumped up, "Yo-yo!"
"You agree!" As a companion, Ning Rongrong knew what the Starlight Spirit Deer was saying.
The Starlight Spirit Deer just answered "Yes".
Then she wouldn't need to worry about the Starlight Spirit Deer being unhappy after absorbing a new Contract Soul Ring.
Seeing Ning Rongrong's actions, Tang San and the others also summoned their Contract Soul Beast to ask for their opinions.
Contract Soul Beast are not their vassals, but their companions.
Fortunately, the Contract Soul Beast now have a high level of affinity with them and, considering the improvement of their strength, are happy to see them Contract Soul Beast again.
Since the Contract Soul Beast had no objections, the group set off to find a new Soul Beast.
Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, they couldn't find a single Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, so the group had to stop and set up camp.
At night, the group gathered around a bonfire, eating food that had been prepared in advance.
Oscar, holding a chicken leg, sidled up to Chu Feng and pointed to the little bird on his shoulder. "Boss, what if every one of our Soul Ring is Contract Soul Beast? By the time we reach the Titled Douluo, we'll all have seven Contract Soul Beast!"
"And since the strength of Contract Soul Beast grows along with ours, wouldn't I then have seven Titled Douluo as my helpers?"
The others, upon hearing this, also became interested.
Oscar is right. Seven Contract Soul Beast are just seven Titled Douluo.
By then, their strength will be at least seven times that of an ordinary Titled Douluo.
At that level of strength, a seven-fold difference in power is already a very large amount.
"You're right, but having more Contract Soul Beast isn't always better," Chu Feng said, shaking his head.
"Why?" The others were a little confused. Shouldn't the more Contract Soul Beast you have, the better?
Does this mean we'll have to kill Soul Beast to obtain Soul Ring again? Isn't that just going back to the old methods?
"I told you to carefully read the rules for Contract Soul Beast, but you only looked at the beginning about how to contract, and didn't read the final notes."
"Contract Soul Beast can provide two Soul Ring if it is 50,000 years old, three Soul Ring if it is 80,000 years old, and four Soul Ring if it is 100,000 years old."
"According to the contract standards, when you are Soul King, you can contract with Soul Beast that are 50,000 years old, and later when you become Soul Emperor, you can contract with Soul Beast that are 80,000 years old."
Upon hearing these words, everyone immediately realized what was happening and showed expressions of surprise, as they had never noticed these things before.
Oscar put down the chicken leg and counted on his fingers, "So if I can find a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast as Contract Soul Beast in the Soul Saint, I won't need to look for my subsequent Soul Ring."
"No, no, no, the Soul Beast you contracted when you were Soul King and Soul Emperor were enough for later on."
"Once you reach the Soul Saint, you no longer need to go out to find Soul Ring," Tang San analyzed.
This can be considered one of the benefits of Contract Soul Beast.
After all, suitable Soul Beast are not easy to find. Many Soul Master cannot find suitable Soul Beast to obtain Soul Ring when they break through to higher levels. In the end, they can only hunt Soul Ring randomly, resulting in their strength not improving much.
"One more thing, the more Contract Soul Beast you have, the more pressure it puts on your mental strength, since you rely on your mental strength to maintain the connection with the Soul Beast."
"If this connection is broken, although the Soul Ring won't be taken back, the attribute bonuses given to you by the Contract Soul Beast will be lost."
