Douluo Continent, border of the Heaven Dou Empire.
The outer edge of the Starry Sky Forest.
Ye Xuan looked up ahead, his palms slightly sweaty.
As a time traveler, this was his first time visiting the Star Dou Great Forest.
Although there was a Soul Emperor-level expert leading the way.
But he was still very nervous.
At this moment, his gaze was fixed on the clearing in the woods ahead that had been violently cleared.
A giant bear, over three meters long with fur as dark as steel, lay sprawled on the ground, lifeless.
A Dark Silver Bear of 400 years.
Its defensive capabilities are astonishing.
Its power is ferocious.
It was the first pet he carefully selected for his first spirit ring.
The person who dealt with this soul beast.
It was Lin Yue, the director of studies at their Martial Soul Academy.
Level 67 Soul Emperor.
The brief hunt has just ended with overwhelming force.
His martial spirit, the illusory lion, slowly dissipated behind him.
That suffocatingly fierce aura still lingered.
"Ye Xuan, hurry up." Lin Yue's voice was deep, yet carried an undeniable authority.
Beside him, the other three students all wore expressions of satisfaction mixed with a hint of fatigue.
All three of them had innate soul power at level seven or even level eight.
He can be considered a true prodigy of the Martial Soul Academy.
Each of them successfully obtained their desired century-old soul ring during this soul hunt.
At this moment, they were looking at Ye Xuan, this "genius" at the ninth level of the Innate Realm, with either curiosity or a hint of superiority.
after all.
Ye Xuan's martial soul, the Red and White Elf Ball, is too strange.
Its characteristics are unknown to anyone.
Finding a suitable soul beast took them far more time than they could.
"Yes, Director Lin."
Ye Xuan responded.
He suppressed the slight unease and anticipation in his heart regarding that martial spirit.
Step forward.
He extended his right hand.
Soul power surged in his palm.
About the size of a fist.
Red and white stripes.
A strange sphere with a black button in the middle appeared.
It was his martial spirit.
Poké Ball.
Based on the vague information he obtained when he awakened his martial soul.
His martial spirit seems to possess the ability to "capture" like in the Pokémon world.
The way they acquire spirit rings may differ from that of the original inhabitants of Douluo Continent.
He mobilized his soul power.
Aim at the Dark Silver Bear's corpse on the ground.
Just as I was about to throw the Poké Ball.
Perhaps it was nervousness.
Perhaps it's because the control over soul power is not yet fully mastered.
Just as he threw it with all his might.
My fingers...slipped...
The trajectory of the red and white spheres as they left the hand suddenly deviated.
With a "whoosh".
They did not fly towards the Dark Silver Bear.
Instead, it drew an awkward arc.
It disappeared straight into a cluster of bushes that was excessively dense.
"Ah, this..."
Ye Xuan's expression changed.
Because he could sense that his Poké Ball spirit seemed to have hit something.
"Um?"
Lin Yue, who was standing to the side, frowned.
His gaze swept across the bushes like lightning.
Xiao Ran and the other two looked over in surprise.
In the very next second.
"Oh!"
A crisp and melodious sound.
The girl, filled with fear and pain, cried out.
It suddenly came from behind the bushes!
Immediately afterwards.
Under the astonished gaze of everyone.
The bushes shook violently.
A barely perceptible pink light flashed and disappeared.
Ye Xuan's Poké Ball missed its target.
It bounced off on its own with a "bang".
then.
It transformed into a stream of light and flew back into its body.
Meanwhile.
A strange energy fluctuation instantly surged around him.
In Ye Xuan's mind.
It was as if something had connected with a "buzz".
A sense of warmth.
Flexibility.
Yet it also carries a strange energy that exudes a powerful life force.
Through his martial spirit, he established an unbreakable connection with him.
"The spirit ring... was absorbed successfully? No, this feeling..."
Ye Xuan was stunned.
I was completely dumbfounded.
His first soul ring.
Just like that... in this outrageous way.
Did you get it?
The object wasn't even the soul beast he had chosen?
After obtaining this spirit ring.
He discovered that he seemed to be able to introspect into a small space of about ten square meters.
A petite figure staggered and fell down in the middle.
She was a little girl who looked only six or seven years old.
She was wearing a pink short dress.
A long scorpion braid hung down the back of her head.
The ends of her hair also had a faint pink tinge.
A pair of extremely bright and expressive eyes.
At this moment, however, it was filled with unbelievable horror.
I felt this.
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Goodness.
What incredible luck I've had!
A 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast becomes your soul ring at the start?
And how could Xiao Wu possibly be here?
at the same time.
Xiao Wu, who was inexplicably trapped in such a narrow space, suppressed her fear.
She originally planned to quietly slip away after these evil humans had finished absorbing the spirit rings and left.
After 100,000 years of transformation, one must start cultivating one's strength anew.
At this moment, she was extremely vulnerable and most afraid of being exposed by powerful human beings.
But she never expected this.
A ball fell from the sky...?
It hit her squarely on the forehead.
Even more terrifying is...
At the moment of being hit.
An inexplicable and bizarre force of rules was forcibly acting on her soul.
Before any reaction could be made.
She herself was inextricably linked to the human boy who threw the ball.
She could feel it clearly.
A portion of one's most core primordial power and a part of one's soul.
They have already been restrained.
wrong.
It should be said that it was integrated.
Something resembling... a spirit ring has formed?
Did it become that boy's possession?
But how could that be!
What kind of bizarre soul skill is this?!
But soon.
She could sense it.
A warm current spread throughout her body.
And at that very moment.
Ye Xuan's name, appearance, and even his aura and smell.
It was completely imprinted in her mind.
A sense of security welled up inside her and enveloped her whole body.
At this moment, she no longer felt fear.
I am no longer afraid.
It was as if Ye Xuan wouldn't be hurt by anyone else as long as she was there.
...
at the same time.
outside world.
Behind Ye Xuan appeared a hundred-year-old soul ring with an extremely rich color.
A thought suddenly occurred to him.
The Poké Ball that had just been retracted into his body reappeared in his hand.
But this time...
He could sense that his Poké Ball wasn't empty.
now.
The three students who were with him were curious and surrounded him.
Even Lin Yue, the head instructor of the Spirit Hall.
They were looking at him with the eyes of someone looking at a monster.
"Ye Xuan, have you successfully obtained your first spirit ring?"
Upon hearing Lin Yue's question.
Ye Xuan nodded with mixed feelings.
"Yes, Director Lin, I have indeed successfully obtained my first spirit ring."
In truth, Ye Xuan didn't know whether this was good luck or bad luck.
However, by chance, Xiao Wu became his personal "Pokémon".
This should also be considered as helping the protagonist Tang San solve the problem of early romance.
Seeing this scene.
Lin Yue, who had lived half his life, had never seen such a bizarre method of absorbing soul rings before.
