Douluo: Suzaku bathed in fire, I am the master of fire

Chapter 5: The First Soul Ring, the Fire Dancing Divine Bird

"Interesting, but you seem to have chosen the wrong person. Boy, wait for me a moment." As he spoke, Flender's martial spirit possessed him and rushed into the air.

Since Flanders was a Soul Saint and the Fire Spirit Kite was just a hundred-year-old soul beast, Flanders easily dealt with the Fire Spirit Kite after it flew into the air. The Fire Spirit Kite had no ability to resist and was knocked down.

"Do you know how to kill it?" Flanders asked after landing.

"I know." Ye Qiu nodded, but did not take any action.

"Why hasn't this kid made a move yet? Is he afraid to kill?"

Seeing Ye Qiu Flanders not taking any action for a long time, he felt a little doubtful.

At this time, Ye Qiu was struggling between conscience and desire. In his previous life, he had never even killed a chicken. Although he knew that he needed to hunt soul beasts to become a soul master, this was also a life.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling sorry for him?" Seeing that Ye Qiu still didn't take action, Flanders stepped forward and urged him.

Ye Qiu didn't say anything, but his attitude said it all.

"Sure enough, no matter how mature he is, he is still just a child." Looking at Ye Qiu in front of him, Flanders thought to himself.

Flanders was also reluctant to do it when he hunted for soul rings for the first time, and was scolded at that time.

"Alas." Flanders sighed and said, "You can't do this. Hunting soul beasts is the only way to become a soul master. If you don't even dare to hunt soul beasts, how can you practice?"

Ye Qiu also knew in his heart that according to the rules of Douluo Continent, if you want to practice, you have to hunt soul beasts. Otherwise, no matter how high your talent for practice is, you will get stuck at a bottleneck.

"Think about it carefully. This is your own business." Flanders couldn't say much. Absorbing the soul ring was his own business and had nothing to do with others. It wasn't him who absorbed it.

"Although I don't want to kill you, I need you to help me practice." Ye Qiu took a deep breath and finally decided to take action.

Flanders was right. Absorbing spirit rings was one's own business and had nothing to do with others. One needed to practice, not to mention that in this world, humans and spirit beasts were natural enemies.

Then, Ye Qiu took out a dagger from the package, took a deep breath, and stabbed it into Huo Lingyuan's eyes.

"Is this right?" Seeing Ye Qiu taking action, Flanders nodded with relief.

Since Huo Lingyuan was beaten to death by Flanders and had no ability to resist, the dagger in Ye Qiu's hand easily pierced into Huo Lingyuan's brain.

After Huo Lingyuan died, Ye Qiu sat cross-legged on the ground and pulled the soul ring.

As the soul ring entered the body, the scorching soul power began to impact Ye Qiu's meridians.

Seeing Ye Qiu absorbing the soul ring, Flanders walked to Ye Qiu's side to protect him, but when Flanders saw the corpse of Huo Lingyuan, his face changed drastically.

"Oh no, this is not just over four hundred years, but very close to five hundred years, kid." Flanders was about to stop him, but it was too late, because Ye Qiu was absorbing the soul ring at this time.

"Oh, why didn't I notice it." Flanders regretted not observing the Fire Kite carefully.

The way to identify a Fire Spirit Kite is to look at the patterns and wingspan on its wings. The patterns of a hundred-year-old soul beast are yellow, and one pattern is produced every hundred years. When it becomes a thousand-year-old soul beast, ten yellow patterns will merge into a purple pattern. The same is true for a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. The wingspan grows one meter every hundred years. The fifth pattern of the Fire Spirit Kite in front of him has reached four-fifths, which means that this Fire Spirit Kite is more than four hundred and eighty years old.

"Well, if it doesn't work, I'll just interrupt him then." Flanders thought to himself.

The soul master community generally agrees that the optimal age for a first soul ring is around 420 years old, but this is the optimal age. No soul beast is exactly at that age. For safety reasons, most soul masters choose souls between 350 and 400 years old. However, Ye Qiu's soul ring is already 480 years old. Flender is unsure and can only interrupt it according to the situation. After all, he is a genius with innate full soul power. Even if he is injured, it is better than exploding. At most, his soul master career ceiling is slightly lower.

But what Flanders didn't expect was that Ye Qiu didn't have any problems, but was in very good condition.

The next day, as the soul ring was completely hung on Ye Qiu, it also meant that Ye Qiu had absorbed this soul ring.

Seeing that Ye Qiu had absorbed the soul ring safely, Flanders felt relieved.

After absorbing the soul ring, Ye Qiu slowly opened his eyes, exhaled, and was about to express his gratitude when he was scolded by Flanders.

"You kid, you absorbed the spirit ring without even looking at it. I was so worried. Fortunately, nothing happened to you. If you had, my trip would have been in vain."

Did Ye Qiu really not notice? Actually, that wasn't the case. Although he didn't dare to make a move at first, he could clearly see the patterns on the Fire Spirit Kite's body. As for why he dared to absorb it directly, it was probably because he was confident in his own martial spirit. After absorbing the spirit ring, he even felt that the age was still low, which also meant that the upper limit of his first spirit ring was less than 600 years.

"It's nothing." Ye Qiu scratched his head.

"Hmph, luckily nothing happened. I wanted to interrupt you, but since you didn't change, I left it alone." Flanders snorted coldly.

"But you have also set a precedent in the world of soul masters. Your first soul ring is nearly five hundred years old." Flanders sighed.

"Haha, I absorbed it without even noticing." Ye Qiu laughed it off.

Afterwards, Ye Qiu felt the changes in himself. He grew ten centimeters taller, and his soul power reached the peak of level 12. His soul skill was called Fire Dancing Divine Bird. The effect was that the flames around him formed the phantom of Vermillion Bird, which increased all his attributes by 30%, and had an absolute suppression on the bird martial spirit. At the same time, the high temperature flames could prevent people from getting close.

"Well, his soul power is at the peak of level 12, and he's almost at level 13. I won't ask about his soul skills. After all, the most important thing for a soul master is his soul skills." Flanders naturally also felt Ye Qiu's soul power, but he didn't ask about his soul skills. The most taboo thing in the soul master world is to expose one's own soul skills. If the enemy knows your soul skills, they will find ways to target you. In short, it is to take advantage of the information gap.

"By the way, what does it feel like to absorb a spirit ring of a higher level?" Flanders asked curiously. After all, it was his first time to witness the absorption of a spirit ring of a higher level.

"Well, that's all?" Ye Qiu replied after pondering for a while.

Ye Qiu didn't feel any pressure, and he didn't know what to say. Anyway, his soul power was running rampant, and he just had to tame it slowly.

"Alright, alright." Seeing Ye Qiu also looking confused, Flanders knew that he probably wouldn't get anything out of him. Then, Flanders said, "Since our goal has been achieved, let's get out."

Ye Qiu nodded. He gained a lot from this trip. Not only did he get a considerable amount of money, but he also got a very suitable spirit ring. He was very satisfied.

Then the two turned around and prepared to leave the Star Dou Great Forest.

On the way back, Flanders still asked about Ye Qiu joining the academy.

"Ye Qiu, are you sure you don't want to join my academy?"

"No, I still have to find my family."

"Ok."

Relatives is just an excuse. He has no relatives except the old man.
