Chapter 4 Little Rabbit, Be Good.
Thinking of this, Yu Tianming couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Haha, when my second martial soul awakens, with nine 100,000-year soul rings, the scene is too beautiful for me to imagine!"
Sitting cross-legged in front of the soul rings, Yu Tianming slowly absorbed them, trusting his grandfather's judgment. After all, compared to the "theoretically invincible" Yu Xiaogang, the words of his super Douluo grandfather, Yu Yuanzhen, were more convincing.
Recalling Tang San's path of growth, the "theoretically invincible" Yu Xiaogang didn't play a significant role.
The only thing he could help Tang San with was his pile of theories and knowledge of soul beasts.
Tang San's early cultivation relied entirely on the Xuan Tian Gong from his previous life; the middle stage relied on his father Tang Hao's guidance; and the later stage saw his rapid advancement like a rocket, because the Sea God was providing him with a cheat code.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that Tang San, this God King, didn't achieve much in the long years, and everything he had wasn't from his own efforts. It was even rumored that when he went to another continent, he was still using the Xuan Tian Gong.
"Tear..."
Dragon-type soul beasts are stronger than ordinary soul beasts, and Yu Tianming endured the excruciating pain to continue absorbing. For soul rings under ten thousand years old, as long as the physical body is tough enough, it's not impossible for the first soul ring to exceed a thousand years.
Of course, with Yu Tianming's current small body at six years old, 800 is about the limit.
About an hour later, Yu Tianming's small body seemed to have grown taller, from less than a meter to 1.1 meters, and the yellow energy floating in mid-air was completely absorbed.
"Martial Soul, Possession!"
"Roar!"
A dragon's roar rang out, and Yu Tianming's short body suddenly grew taller, his chest muscles bulged, his limbs thickened, reaching a height of 1.6 meters. His long golden hair danced, with faint flashes of electricity visible between the strands. His eyes were one blue and one red, and his whole body emitted red flames.
"Thunder Prison: Limitless Universe!"
Boom!
Yu Tianming spread his arms to the sides, instantly transforming the area within a ten-meter radius into a thunder prison.
"Tear, it actually makes this old man feel uncomfortable, truly a monster."
The lightning in the void couldn't harm Yu Yuanzhen; he guessed it must be a domain-type soul skill.
"Grandpa, my first soul skill can weaken the opponent by 10% in their full state, and increase my own strength and speed by 50%. It can also accelerate soul power recovery within the Thunder Prison."
Yu Tianming clenched his fist, excitedly feeling the surging soul power within him.
"It really is a domain-type soul skill! Good, good, good! As expected of your grandson, Grandpa. Take a rest, Grandpa will take you to find your second soul ring."
After successfully absorbing his first soul ring, although his soul power level remained at level 20, Yu Tianming understood that to break through to a higher level, he must obtain a second soul ring.
However, in this world, the soul beast race faces an extremely unfavorable environment. Perhaps because of the fall of the Dragon God, the human gods feared the reappearance of beings as powerful as the Dragon God, and thus changed the rules of the Douluo Continent, requiring one to possess an equivalent soul ring before being able to upgrade their synergy level.
For Yu Tianming, his grandfather Yu Yuanzhen had high expectations for his second spirit ring.
Normally, an ordinary spirit master's second spirit ring wouldn't exceed 800 years, but Yu Yuanzhen insisted his grandson choose one at least 1100 years old. After all, Yu Tianming's first spirit ring was already 800 years old; with his talent and potential, he could easily absorb a spirit ring over a thousand years old.
However, Yu Yuanzhen knew his grandson's talent was extraordinary, far surpassing his own at that age.
Therefore, he hoped Yu Tianming could transcend convention, pursue the ultimate, and even challenge the limits. Only in this way could he fully utilize his talent.
Finding a suitable dragon-type spirit beast for Yu Tianming was no easy task; it required extremely high standards and rigorous selection.
As a Super Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen had extremely high expectations for his grandson, and any slight flaw would be considered unqualified.
Therefore, they encountered many difficulties in searching for a spirit ring, failing to find a satisfactory target.
So, the grandfather and grandson searched for half a month in the Star Dou Great Forest until they entered the edge of the forest's core area.
"Aww~"
Yu Tianming, whose hand was being held tightly by Yu Yuanzhen, turned to look to his left.
"Not bad, you haven't forgotten what Grandpa taught you these past few days. Remember, whether it's a gathering place for soul beasts or human society, you must always be vigilant and watch your surroundings at all times. The world is not lacking in geniuses, but only those who grow up are qualified to be called geniuses."
"It is said that there are 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. The soul beasts here are all over 1,000 years old. Look closely, that's a Flame Giant Lizard. Your Thunder Flame Dragon Emperor has both thunder and fire attributes. Cultivating only the thunder attribute is a real waste. This Flame Giant Lizard's dragon bloodline is not bad. It's the one."
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon of the Super Douluo can only be described in two words: ferocious. Every move of Yu Yuanzhen was full of violent aesthetics. The Flame Giant Lizard was punched hard.
Yu Tianming honestly summoned the Dragon Sword (a mutated Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul) to finish off the lizard. The soul ring's age was around 1200 years. With the experience of the first time, the second soul ring absorption went much more smoothly.
"Tsk, the second spirit ring is already at the thousand-year level."
Yu Yuanzhen released his aura to disperse the surrounding spirit beasts. He was envious of his grandson's talent.
An ordinary person's third spirit ring is only between 1,000 and 1,700 years old. Yu Tianming's third spirit ring might reach over 5,000 years old, so the fourth spirit ring... wouldn't it be ten thousand years old?
Yu Yuanzhen sighed inwardly. His grandson was truly a prodigy!
He was so young, yet he could already absorb such a powerful spirit ring. His future achievements were limitless. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel full of anticipation and pride for Yu Tianming.
At this moment, Yu Tianming was immersed in the joy of absorbing the spirit ring. He felt the increase in the power within his body and the closer connection with the Thunderflame Dragon Emperor. This feeling excited him greatly. He knew that he was moving towards the path of becoming a strong person.
"Tear!
" Thinking this, Yu Yuanzhen's face flushed red. A fourth soul ring in ten thousand years—unprecedented!
Meanwhile, Yu Tianming's soul power surged rapidly, reaching level 21, 22, and finally 27. A level 27 Great Soul Master at the age of six—Yu Yuanzhen was overjoyed.
"Blazing Flame Ray!"
Crimson flames erupted from Yu Tianming's mouth, instantly piercing a large tree ten meters away.
Having successfully broken through to level 27, Yu Tianming gained an unexpected ability: Dragon Transformation!
The reason the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was hailed as the number one beast spirit on the continent wasn't because of their naturally strong physique and high burst damage, but because of its Dragon Transformation ability.
Normally, a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon would transform one part of its body with each soul ring it acquired after reaching level 30.
But Yu Tianming, at only level 27, could already transform both claws into dragon forms, and after activating Dragon Transformation, his strength and speed were significantly increased—by a full 100%.
"Level 27 can fight a Soul Master," Yu Yuanzhen stroked his beard, smiling with satisfaction.
Now, Yu Tianming's hands had transformed into sharp dragon claws, and ordinary Soul Masters couldn't even withstand a single blow from him.
This was truly the peerless genius in his eyes! In comparison, those so-called "Number One Prodigy of the Continent"—Tang Ritian, the successor of Haotian Douluo—were simply trash.
"Grandpa, I feel like I'm not far from level 28." Yu Tianming felt that there was still some undigested soul power remaining in his body. If he could absorb all of this soul power, he might be able to break through to the Soul Master realm.
"Alright, then we'll continue cultivating here until you successfully break through to the Soul Master realm.
Moreover, there are many powerful soul beasts here that can serve as your opponents for practical training." Yu Yuanzhen looked at his grandson, his eyes filled with expectation and pride.
While other children were still playing in the mud at the age of six, poor Yu Tianming had to follow Yu Yuanzhen in diligently cultivating in the Star Dou Great Forest and learning various combat techniques.
Although Yu Tianming was still young, the talent and effort he displayed made Yu Yuanzhen extremely proud.
He was a bit mischievous at a young age, showing signs of becoming a lazy bum, but his ability to distinguish the importance of things was commendable.
Actually, this lazy bum Yu Tianming could be explained: Douluo Continent was too boring; if he didn't find something to kill time, he'd get moldy, thus becoming a lawless brat.
The core area of the Star Dou Great Forest!
Thump thump thump!
A giant gorilla, tens of meters tall, was running towards the edge of the core area, the ground trembling with every step its massive body took.
"Roar roar roar~"
"Sister Xiao Wu, don't run! It's dangerous outside. Aunt Rou will definitely scold you when you go back."
In front of the gorilla was a half-meter-long pink rabbit, extremely cute.
"It's okay, what's there to be afraid of with Sister Xiao Wu here."
The pink rabbit named Xiao Wu didn't stop. She was the tyrant of the forest, with two 100,000-year-old soul beast under her command. In a few years, she would also be a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
Ten miles away, Yu Yuanzhen's expression changed slightly. The commotion from the ground indicated that a terrifying being was rapidly approaching.
Its strength was no less than 100,000 years.
"Tianming, come here."
Without a word, Yu Yuanzhen pulled Yu Tianming over. His blue dragon wings unfurled, and he carried Yu Tianming into the air. Soon, the figure of a giant gorilla came into view.
Yu Yuanzhen's eyes were filled with vigilance and solemnity as he stared intently at the enormous gorilla. This gorilla was hundreds of meters tall, its body massive and powerful, each step causing the ground to tremble. Its appearance made the entire forest tremble, as if the overlord of this land had descended.
A pink rabbit running in front of the gorilla also caught Yu Yuanzhen's attention. Although this pink rabbit was small, it exuded a unique charm. Its pink fur shimmered with a soft light, making it exceptionally cute and charming. However, judging from its interaction with the gorilla, it was clearly not an ordinary rabbit.
Yu Tianming secretly guessed that this pink rabbit might be the legendary Xiao Wu.
It was said that she was a tyrant in the Star Dou Great Forest, possessing two powerful 100,000-year-old soul beasts as her subordinates. Moreover, in a few years, she herself would become a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Such a status inspired awe in everyone.
While Yu Yuanzhen was pondering this, Xiao Wu didn't stop; instead, she continued running towards the edge of the core area.
She confidently declared that with her there, there was no need to fear any danger. This fearless attitude surprised Yu Yuanzhen, but he also understood that her position in the forest was indeed not to be underestimated.
As time passed, Yu Yuanzhen finally saw the giant gorilla. Its enormous size was astonishing, and the aura it exuded was terrifying. Facing such a powerful opponent, Yu Yuanzhen dared not be careless.
At this moment, Yu Yuanzhen decided to temporarily leave this place with Yu Tianming to avoid unnecessary trouble. He spread his blue dragon wings, tightly embraced Yu Tianming, and quickly flew into the sky. In the air, they could observe the gorilla and Xiao Wu's movements more clearly, while maintaining a safe distance.
Once Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Tianming were in the air, they finally saw the gorilla's full form. This behemoth was not only enormous but also possessed astonishing strength and speed. Its appearance heightened the atmosphere, as if a great battle was about to erupt.
