Douluo Dalu: I Have a Soul Beast Clone.

Chapter 6: The age and cultivation of soul beasts.

When the throne of deity had already been decided.

No matter how outstanding he is, his final fate will be just another Tang Chen.

Li Changan thinks that Tang Chen's failure in the original novel is also related to the Asura God. You should know that according to the attribute classification, the Rakshasa God is the main god under the Asura God, that is, a subordinate. How can such an identity interfere with the inheritor of the dignified God King?

If the power of the God King can be interfered with by a mere first-level god, then this God King is too weak.

So the facts are already clear.

This is just acting, finding a random reason to let Luosha God take the blame. And let her successor Bibi Dong act as a whetstone for her successor.

After killing the Rakshasa God and the Angel God, Tang San ascended to the God Realm with this qualification, and he could better convince the people after inheriting the throne. The Asura God regarded this poor mother and daughter as a stepping stone for his successor to gain fame.

As for the inheritance of the Sea God, the dual thrones were an unexpected surprise and were not part of Shura's original plan.

Therefore, if Li Changan wanted to find a successor to the throne, the Sea God would be the closest and most likely to be the throne he could obtain.

……

Star Forest.

A hidden cave.

Li Changan slowly woke up.

It found that after waking up, the space around it seemed to have become smaller. Or rather, it was not that the space had become smaller, but that its body had become larger.

After eating its own eggshells.

After waking up, Li Changan's body length soared to ten meters. His cultivation time also increased from less than ten years to about a hundred years. This shows how nutritious the eggshell is.

The age of a soul beast does not refer to how long the soul beast has lived. The age is just a classification of levels, just like the names of different stages of human soul masters. So a ten thousand year soul beast does not really live for ten thousand years, otherwise no matter how many soul beasts there are, there may not be enough for humans to kill.

Considering the huge demand for spirit rings by human spirit masters, and the fact that the spirit master profession has existed for at least several thousand years, if not ten thousand, if not ten thousand years, if spirit beasts can only grow over time, then after so many years of hunting, the spirit beasts would probably have become extinct long ago.

Besides, in addition to human hunting, soul beasts will also fight with each other because of the nature of the survival of the fittest... so the number of deaths will be even greater. So the age limit is really just a name, not equivalent to age.

After becoming a soul beast, through the inheritance information in the blood, Li Changan knew that a soul beast with top bloodline might only need to practice for hundreds or thousands of years to grow into a hundred thousand year soul beast. Of course, this process can be shortened, just swallowing some natural treasures, or being in an environment with rich energy, can speed up growth.

For a specific example, you can refer to the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in the Douluo Dalu period. That guy is the most typical example of a soul beast that relies on eating to grow into a million-year-old soul beast.

The soul beasts in Douluo Continent are actually the same as the demon beasts in the world of immortal cultivation. They all rely on blood and instinct to absorb the energy of heaven and earth to increase their strength and lifespan. The only difference is that the soul beasts are locked by the gods in the divine world. Their strength can never break through the god level, and when they reach 100,000 years, they will be struck by thunder. It is clear that the soul beasts are to be tortured to death! There is no way to survive.

The race of Li Changan's current body is the Jade Scaled Snake King, which is the top existence among soul beasts. The king of snakes, the king of poisons!

Needless to say, its aptitude was excellent. Even if it didn't go anywhere and continued to stay in this cave and practice behind closed doors, it would only take a few thousand years for it to naturally grow into a hundred thousand year soul beast.

So don't be intimidated by soul beasts who often talk about thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Sometimes they really don't live that long.

The cultivation of soul beasts is actually simple. It relies on their own blood to continuously absorb the energy between heaven and earth to strengthen their bodies and the soul power in their bodies. For soul beasts, this is as instinctive as breathing. There is no need for any exercises or operation routes.

The higher the level of a soul beast's bloodline, the more efficient it will be in absorbing external energy to strengthen itself, and the faster its cultivation speed will be.

On the other hand, soul beasts with inferior bloodlines will naturally have their cultivation speed reduced. It is possible that their cultivation level will only increase by one year each year, becoming a soul beast that has lived for a hundred thousand years.

After Li Changan adapted to the changes in his body's growth, he swung his body and prepared to leave. Now that he had become a hundred-year-old soul beast, he had some self-protection power.

Generally speaking, as long as it does not encounter soul beasts with higher bloodline levels than itself, or soul masters who come to hunt soul beasts, its safety is still guaranteed.

The cave is not completely enclosed, and has many passages leading to the outside world.

Li Changan exhaled the snake's letter. Based on the smell information in the air, he judged that this place had not been visited for at least hundreds of years. As a cold-blooded animal, the biological mother of this body did not have the instinct to feed her children. Therefore, it is likely that she found this safe place to lay eggs and left on her own.

Snake eggs will hatch on their own over time.

"I don't know where I am now."

"Is it the Star Forest, or the Sunset Forest? Or is it some other unknown soul beast forest?"

As Li Changan thought so, his slender snake body began to sway. He randomly chose a passage and walked towards the place where fresh air was circulating at a leisurely pace.

outside world.

An area covered with fallen leaves suddenly bulged.

Then a triangular green snake head quietly emerged from the fallen leaves, its amber eyes carefully looking around, and when it determined that there was no danger, the snake slowly emerged.

Li Changan couldn't judge whether there was anything threatening his life in the environment he was in. Therefore, he acted cautiously, hiding in the bushes and using the green cover to hide his body.

Snakes are born extremely good at hiding, so Li Changan, as the Green Scaled Snake King, is naturally the best among them.

It moved its body silently, wandering in the grass, carefully observing its surroundings, constantly spitting out its snake signal, collecting the remaining information in the surrounding environment.

Soon, a soul beast was seen.

This was a rabbit that was glowing with pale white light. Judging from the soul light on its body, it was a rabbit that was several decades old.

When Li Changan saw the rabbit, the hunting instinct in his blood immediately made him eager to try it!

It did not hesitate, twisting its body and slowly approaching the rabbit. The rabbit, which was originally happily chewing the blue silver grass, suddenly paused for some reason, and then its scarlet eyes looked around vigilantly. Its long ears kept shaking, collecting sounds from all directions.

The natural result was that he immediately noticed the danger coming from behind!
He immediately kicked his legs and ran quickly into the distance.

Seeing that the prey was about to escape, Li Changan no longer cared about hiding, and moved his body. He immediately turned into a green afterimage and shot out, aiming directly at the rabbit.

At the same time, an aura belonging to a top predator emanated involuntarily.

The rabbit, which was originally running wildly, suddenly became like being struck by lightning. Its limbs became stiff and it rolled several times on the ground due to the inertia of running, and then lay on the ground trembling!
Soul beasts are a race that is extremely particular about bloodlines.

The young snake that Li Changan possessed was of noble descent, born with the bloodline of the Green Scaled Snake King. It had a natural suppressing and deterrent effect on some soul beasts with lower bloodlines than itself.

If a thousand-year-old soul beast with low bloodline encountered it, it would probably not have the will to resist and would run away with its tail between its legs. Not to mention the rabbit in front of it that was less than a hundred years old.

Li Changan quickly came to the rabbit, looking at the trembling rabbit that did not resist at all. He opened his snake mouth and exhaled a faint poisonous smoke!

Suddenly, the trembling rabbit kicked its legs and was poisoned to death on the spot.

A circle of white soul ring condensed and formed on the corpse, as if waiting for someone to absorb it.

Without paying attention to the white soul ring, Li Changan looked at the boar-sized rabbit in front of him and could feel his body's instinctive desire to eat! He immediately stopped hesitating, opened his mouth wide, and slowly swallowed the fat rabbit in front of him like a python.

The whole process went smoothly.

The Jade Scaled Snake King is called a snake, but it has the characteristics of a giant python that can swallow prey that is more than ten times larger than itself. That is why it can swallow this fat rabbit in one gulp.

After swallowing the rabbit, Li Changan did not feel any psychological or physical discomfort, because his body was now a snake, and his senses were different from those of humans. What might seem bloody and cruel to humans was not worth mentioning to animals.

In some novels about humans traveling back in time to become animals, there are often stories about the protagonist, who becomes a tiger, eating raw meat for the first time and feeling nauseous and vomiting. In order to show that he is a civilized person, he even goes to great lengths to make a fire and roast the raw meat. He says that eating this way is more nutritious and delicious, and that he is still a human being at heart.

But this is all nonsense. If you really traveled through time and space and became a tiger, then a piece of fat meat covered in blood would be the most delicious thing in your eyes. But if you really cook it, it will become dry and taste like chewing wax. It is not delicious at all.

After all, the senses of humans and animals are different.

After swallowing the rabbit, Li Changan could clearly feel the process of the rabbit being slowly digested in his body.

This process takes a certain amount of time. It needs to find a safe place and wait patiently for the prey in its stomach to be digested.

So it returned to the cave where it was born, lay down on the ground, and closed its eyes peacefully.

Time passes quietly.

The originally round and bulging shape of Li Changan's abdomen also subsided with the passage of time.

As the rabbit was digested, a surge of soul power followed and began to nourish the body, strengthening the soul power in the body.

Until the rabbit is completely digested.

One day has passed.

Li Changan opened his eyes again, and he could feel that his age had increased by at least ten years.

Don't think that a soul beast that has been alive for decades has only gained soul power for more than ten years, and think that it is not enough. You must know that reality is not a game. Even if they are at the same level, because of individual differences, the energy quality and blood and flesh nutrition in the body are different between soul beasts of the same level. Not to mention that there will be losses during the digestion process.

A soul beast of several decades old could increase its cultivation by more than ten years, which was already very high.

Of course, the reason why he can increase so much now is mainly because his level is still very low. When he breaks through the millennium, then swallowing the energy provided by this ten-level rabbit again will have a negligible improvement on him.

"Preying on soul beasts seems to be a shortcut to quickly increase my level!"

"Soul beasts can increase their strength by devouring each other. Therefore, this habit of soul beasts eating soul beasts must be a universal phenomenon. But why are the two soul beasts, the human-faced demon spider and the dark demon evil god tiger, rejected by the soul beasts in the original work?"

"Is it because they have such a big appetite and eat too much, which seriously affects the ecological balance?"

Li Changan was somewhat curious, and thought that this was probably the reason. After all, the original text said that these two soul beasts had the ability to devour, so their cultivation was very slow. They could only quickly improve their strength by devouring a large number of soul beasts.

So if they devour soul beasts on a large scale and eat up all the soul beasts in an area, won't other soul beasts have nothing to eat?
As for those carnivorous soul beasts, if all the food in the territory is eaten up by other soul beasts, then don’t they have to kill the culprit?
Therefore, the reason why the Human-Faced Demon Spider and Dark Demon Evil God Tiger were rejected by both soul beasts and humans in the original novel had nothing to do with being evil or not. It was simply because they ate too much and affected the interests of other soul beasts. If the population of these two soul beasts really increased, other soul beasts would have nothing to eat.

The reason is so realistic.

The so-called soul beasts reject them because they are born evil is just what humans think. In fact, how evil can a soul beast be? Can it run into the human world and kill people, set fires and commit all kinds of evil?

At best, it just has a bigger appetite and eats a little more. But this is just the law of the jungle in nature, isn't it the same for other soul beasts?

……

After determining that devouring soul beasts could speed up cultivation, Li Changan did not hesitate and quickly began to look for soul beasts to devour around his birthplace. He soon found a wild boar as big as a rhinoceros. It was about several decades old, with thick skin and flesh. Its combat power was much stronger than that of the rabbit.

But for the top predator, the Jade Scaled Snake King, it was not enough. Just by releasing a little bit of his aura, the natural suppression of higher-level soul beasts over lower-level soul beasts made the wild boar stiff and unable to move.

Li Changan twisted his snake body and slowly approached. He stopped when he was a few meters away, then opened his mouth and spit out a faint poisonous mist. He didn't dare to get close to the beast. If he pushed too close, the instinct for survival would overwhelm the fear in his blood, and the wild boar would dare to attack him, which would be bad.
