Divine Soul Evolution, Scarlet Flame Lion!
First Soul Skill, Hell Stab!
The Heaven-Breaking Stone on Zhu Zhuqing's forehead suddenly blazed with purple light. In an instant, the phantom of a Ghost Tiger emerged behind her, roaring at the sky.
At the same time, the first Soul Ring beneath Zhu Zhuqing's feet flashed yellow. Before the Man Faced Demon Spider could even react, the human face on its abdomen had been pierced through!
A moment later, a purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring floated slowly above the Man Faced Demon Spider's lifeless body, radiating a brilliant violet light.
"Nicely done!" Tianyu said with a faint smile, praising her. With that, he had finally obtained one of Tang San's strongest cheats: the External Soul Bone.
Tianyu stroked Little Kitty's head. Her flowing hair was incredibly silky, and her pair of black, cone-shaped cat ears twitched slightly in comfort.
"Become my Heaven-Breaking Stone, Man Faced Demon Spider!"
The next moment, Tianyu walked up to the Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse. He focused his spiritual power and raised both hands slightly.
The purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring rapidly shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Not only that, a special energy emerged from the Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse and quickly merged into the Heaven-Breaking Stone before it had finished forming.
Once the Heaven-Breaking Stone had formed, the corners of Tianyu's mouth rose slightly, for the stone in his hand not only possessed a luxurious purple sheen.
At the center of the Heaven-Breaking Stone was a decorative trace of the Eight Spider Soul Bone, as though the Soul Bone had shrunk and hidden inside the amber-like stone!
Meanwhile, Tang San was still racing along desperately when his pupils suddenly contracted and his heart began pounding wildly. He lost his footing and fell from a tree.
Bang-
Tang San crashed to the ground. The ominous premonition he had felt earlier had now come completely true!
In an instant, fear and unease flooded Tang San's heart, leaving him drenched in sweat. His head was covered in it, and nearly all of it was cold sweat!
"What's going on? Why is this happening?"
"I feel like I've lost something incredibly important!"
"Could something have happened to Xiao Wu?"
Tang San trembled all over, his pupils quaking. Meanwhile, the corners of Tianyu's mouth had nearly curled all the way to the back of his head. In his excitement, he even pulled Zhu Zhuqing into his arms and kissed her.
[Fortune Points received...] [3,000 points!]
Just as Tianyu had expected, his Fortune Points had shot up explosively as soon as he obtained the Eight Spider Soul Bone.
Tianyu also had a hunch: later on, whenever Tang San reached a point in the original story where he would have needed the Eight Spider Soul Bone but could no longer use it,
those Fortune Points would keep being credited to Tianyu afterward!
"Great! Three thousand Fortune Points! That means I have three Soul Contract slots available now!"
Tianyu fell silent. For now, opportunities to rapidly increase his Fortune Points were few and far between.
Because of that, Tianyu had to plan carefully and save those three Soul Contract opportunities for where they were needed most!
Should I waste a slot contracting Ning Rongrong?!
I don't think that's necessary~
After putting the special Heaven-Breaking Stone into his contract bracelet, Tianyu raised an eyebrow and rubbed his chin as he thought.
After all, for now, Ning Rongrong seemed to be winning herself over to him.
It was worth mentioning that after Tianyu condensed the Soul Ring into a Heaven-Breaking Stone, the Douluo World's rule that only the person who killed a Soul Beast could absorb its Soul Ring seemed to have ceased to apply.
Even so, after giving it careful thought, Tianyu decided to give this Heaven-Breaking Stone to Zhu Zhuqing.
Although a spider didn't quite go with a cat, Little Kitty was his first Contract Beast, so giving her something a little special was rather nice.
His other Contract Beasts wouldn't get that honor!
"Now that I have so many Fortune Points..."
"Let's see how many Fortune Points it would take to exchange for an External Soul Bone that suits me."
With a thought from Tianyu, the golden screen that only he could see flashed with golden light.
"Only 800 Fortune Points? Three thousand for 800? That's one profitable deal!" Tianyu's eyes lit up.
Looking at it that way, if he did the math, as long as he had enough Fortune Points, Tianyu could arrange an External Soul Bone for himself with every Soul Ring he absorbed from now on!
Awoo~
Just then, the Scarlet Flame Lion standing on Tianyu's shoulder suddenly nibbled his ear, looking excited and impatient.
"You want to fight that badly?"
"And you even want to fight that Hundred-Thousand-Year Titan Giant Ape?!"
"You're really that brave? As expected of my Divine Soul!" Tianyu smiled and nodded in approval.
"Master, Zhuqing wants a reward too!"
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly cut in. Her beautiful eyes darted around, and her little pink tongue licked her red lips as she looked at him eagerly.
"Here? Out in the wild..." Tianyu sucked in a breath of cold air, his attention instantly drawn to Little Kitty.
"Mm~" Zhu Zhuqing nodded shyly, then instinctively started to squat down. In the moonlight, her snow-white face was flushed red.
Seeing this, Tianyu shook his head helplessly. Since she wanted it, he could only force himself to give it to her~
At the same time, Tianyu slowly closed his eyes and tried communicating with Xiao Wu over a long distance through the Soul Contract for the first time:
"Xiao Wu, are you all right?"
"Ahh-Zhuqing, watch your teeth~"
Before long, the Scarlet Flame Lion, the only one who still wanted to fight, grew so anxious that he spun in circles and began panting.
When her master's voice entered her mind, Xiao Wu, whose eyes had been dull at the thought that she could never again enjoy her master's gifts, instantly perked up.
"Master, I'm here~"
"Don't worry, Master. The Titan Giant Ape is my friend. His name is Er Ming. If I get the chance, I'll definitely make him willingly become your Soul Ring!"
Hearing Tianyu's voice, Xiao Wu looked a little excited and hurriedly sent the message with her spiritual power.
Titan Giant Ape: "?"
"Good, you sound lively... Don't worry, I'll send the Scarlet Flame Lion to pick you up in a little while!"
Meanwhile, Tianyu endured the suction, his mouth trembling as he sent the message with his spiritual power.
But those words left Xiao Wu a little bewildered. Although she knew her master was powerful beyond anything she could imagine,
the Titan Giant Ape beneath Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, with combat strength comparable to a Titled Douluo.
How could Master possibly have a way to take her from Er Ming?
Little did she know that the three Soul Rings beneath Tianyu's feet had fused into one, finally condensing into a crimson-gold Heaven-Breaking Stone.
In an instant, just as everyone, including Tang San, was confused and falling into a panic, a terrifying, dazzling golden light
suddenly shot into the sky, so brilliant that no one could look straight at it!
When our minds become one...
Divine Soul Evolution, Scarlet Flame Lion!
"You want to fight? Then go, Scarlet Flame Lion~"
