Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 9 The First Soul
After listening to his insights, Lin Xingyu was thoughtful. In a world where great power belongs to oneself, it will never be wrong to strengthen oneself.

"Xingyu, this time when I went out, I specially asked a friend to do some research. From the collections of several nearby Spirit Pagodas, I carefully selected three souls. Their attributes and ages are perfectly matched with yours. They can be said to be tailor-made for you."

"They are respectively the Hundred-Year Soul Fusion Gold Sub-dragon, a sub-dragon soul beast that possesses both gold and fire attributes, and has cultivated for five hundred years."

"A hundred-year soul hell king kong, a top soul beast with gold, fire, and strength attributes, with a cultivation base of eight hundred years."

"Finally, there is another kind of soul that should be suitable for you."

"Thousands of years ago, due to the massive development of soul masters, the growth of soul beasts took an extremely long time."

"At that time, soul beasts were on the verge of extinction, causing panic among soul masters. Many people worried that there would soon be no more souls available."

"So various major forces came up with many solutions to solve this problem."

"One of the solutions the Spirit Pagoda has to solve this problem is artificial souls."

"After much effort, they finally succeeded in developing an artificial soul."

"The last type of soul is the artificial soul. It is a metal soul among artificial souls. It is a type of artificial soul. It is not a soul made by replicating the genes of any soul beast. It is a soul completely transformed from metal using soul guidance technology."

"If it were an ordinary metal soul, I certainly wouldn't recommend it to you. However, that soul was forged from two metal souls, pure gold and red gold. It was originally created to imitate the legendary Snow Emperor, the lord of ice and snow."

"At first, I wanted to make it out of pure gold, but I found I couldn't get rid of the fire element no matter what. So I changed it to a combination of gold and fire. It exploded, and this is what's left."

"But apart from anything else, the attributes are perfectly matched with you, and also with your martial spirit."

"But this soul only lives for a hundred years."

When Lin Xingyu heard the name, it seemed familiar at first, but after listening to the introduction carefully, he finally woke up from his dream. Isn't this the first soul that Xie Xie possessed in the original novel?

But I didn’t hear about this plan in the original book.

Indeed, this vast and boundless world is so extensive and profound that it cannot be fully described in a single book.

After carefully listening to Lin Cheng's detailed description of the three souls, Lin Xingyu made a decision without hesitation and directly chose the metal soul that was full of power and tenacity.

Compared with the metal soul, the other two souls pale in comparison and have nothing unique about them.

As for the age of souls, in this day and age, it's entirely possible to continuously increase the age of soul rings with the aid of a soul-raising platform. There's no need to worry too much about it. A hundred years of soul power is more than enough for him. At worst, he could go to East Sea College and get some resources, and then increase the age of his soul rings directly.

Thanks to the help of the Soul Ascension Platform, the souls under ten thousand years old in this era can ascend smoothly without any obstacles.

"Father, I choose Metal Soul!"

"confirmed?"

"It's confirmed, it's him. I wonder what form this metal spirit takes?"

"As I said before, she was originally created to imitate the legendary Snow Emperor, the Lord of the Far North."

Hearing this, Lin Xingyu's eyes seemed to light up in an instant, sparkling with brilliant light.

Noticing the subtle change on Lin Cheng's face, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and chuckled softly, "It seems you are quite satisfied with this soul."

More than satisfied!
Lin Xingyu's martial soul is the red gold armor, and he practices martial arts, which emphasizes the physical body. This human-shaped soul is simply a bridge to combine his martial arts and martial soul.

It was as if a soul had been crafted specifically for him. This soul was a match made in heaven for him, a level of compatibility never before achieved. Perhaps the quality of artificial souls wasn't as good as those of super soul beasts, but he didn't have souls of that quality to choose from.

Moreover, with such a high degree of compatibility with oneself, even if the soul quality is not high, it can still bring great amplification.

On the bright side, it might even bring about an incredible soul skill.

"You adjust your condition today, and tomorrow I will take you to the Spirit Transmission Tower to fuse your soul."

"it is good!"

After Lin Xingyu left, Lin Cheng took out his communication soul guide and called the East China Sea Soul Tower to make an appointment for the soul he would buy tomorrow.

……

Early the next morning, Lin Xingyu finished his morning practice with full energy.

Then, breakfast ended with Lin Cheng stunned and the old housekeeper's numb expression.

Afterwards, they drove together to the East China Sea Spirit Pagoda.

The Spirit Pagoda of East Sea City, a landmark building, stands 400 meters tall and is one of the eighteen largest towers in the Spirit Pagoda. It is known as the Eighteen Pillars of Heaven. Upon entering the first floor of the Spirit Pagoda, one can see a majestic mural depicting Huo Yuhao and his spirits facing off against a tidal wave of beasts.

Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao!
Ah, no! Now it's Dai Yuhao.

Although the mural has some distortion, the shock and majestic momentum it displays are truly breathtaking.

This is probably what is meant by "only magnificence can bring about authority"!

"Okay, let's go. We'll have plenty of time to admire these murals. Let's go get your first soul first."

He found the staff in the Spirit Pagoda and explained his purpose.

Soon a messenger came over with a metal box.

Open the metal box and see the soul ball inside, and confirm that it is correct.

Seeing Lin Cheng reluctantly pay the money, even though it was only a hundred-year-old soul, it was carefully forged from top-grade soul-forging metal. Even though it was still in the semi-finished stage, it was undoubtedly the most valuable of the three souls.

The messenger stared at the payment data, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was like a flower blooming in spring, which could not be concealed.

"Dear guests, our Spiritual Pagoda offers a special service: a free comprehensive physical and mental testing. Would you be interested in trying it?"

"No need for that. Thank you for the Spirit Pagoda's kindness."

As Lin Cheng finished speaking, he gently waved his hand, and the metal spirit was stored in his storage soul guide. Then, he took Lin Xingyu and left the Spirit Pagoda with light steps, as if nothing had happened.

After returning home, Lin Cheng handed the soul ball to Lin Xingyu and said, "You absorb it here, and I will protect you."

Lin Xingyu took a deep breath and took the soul ball.

The transparent sphere allows him to clearly see the situation inside the soul ball.

A towering young woman, shrouded in a brilliant crimson light, seemed like a god of war descending from the heavens. She wore dazzling golden armor, each piece gleaming with a dazzling brilliance, highlighting her extraordinary presence. In her hand, she clutched a golden longsword, its blade radiating a cold and mysterious glow, revealing boundless might and power.
