Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 3: The excited Xuanzi has struck gold!
"Ah~"

An old voice sounded.

Xuanzi, munching on a chicken leg with a string of gourds hanging from his waist, stared at Su Wen in surprise. Before the latter could react, he grabbed Su Wen's wrist, his eyes narrowing as he sensed the soul power within him...

"what?"

Xuanzi exclaimed in surprise: "Damn, what incredible luck! You guys really stumbled upon a rare gem like this."

"I found it! I found it!" Ma Xiaotao exclaimed excitedly.

"Okay, go play." Xuanzi gave a perfunctory hum and waved his hand. "Lexuan, come with me. The rest of you, don't wander off."

Su Wen felt dizzy and disoriented, and in the next instant, he appeared on the canopy of an ancient tree.

It's extremely high up here. Looking down, through layers of dense foliage, you can vaguely see the bonfire below and Shrek Academy disciples the size of ants.

A moment later, Zhang Lexuan also stood gracefully not far away. Her school uniform fluttered in the wind, further accentuating her slender figure. When she saw Su Wen looking over, this senior sister also tossed her long hair and revealed a faint smile.

"Child, can you tell me what your martial spirit is?" Xuanzi asked with a smile, his tone kind.

“Capturing soul beasts can be understood as manipulating them.” Su Wen did not hesitate at all. Since he had decided to join Shrek Academy, the first step was to demonstrate his value and acquire enough resources to strengthen himself.

Although Shrek Academy has many flaws, it is quite loyal to its own people, especially in cultivating "core" disciples, where it puts in a lot of effort and never does anything perfunctory.

Moreover, there's a deep-seated consensus in the Douluo Continent crossover genre: those who prefer a futuristic style go to Sun Moon Academy, while those who prefer a traditional style go to Shrek Academy.

The Body Sect is no less protective of its members than Shrek Academy, and their strength is comparable, but unfortunately, they encountered Shrek Academy first, so they can only say they were destined to be apart...

Of course, most importantly, you will most likely be considered one of Shrek's "own people".

Just as he had expected, Xuanzi could not hide his joy.

A six-year-old child with no one to rely on is simply a divinely ordained heir to the Sea God Pavilion. As for his ability to control soul beasts, he exclaimed in his heart that he was a monster. This kind of mental control martial soul, coupled with innate full soul power, can definitely occupy a place among the top martial souls.

"Then would you be willing to join Shrek Academy?"

Xuanzi's voice trembled slightly.

It should be noted that Ma Xiaotao's innate soul power is at level nine, which is why she is known as a genius that the academy has seen only once in a hundred years. The other person with full innate soul power is Zhang Lexuan, who is standing next to him and is regarded by the elders of the Sea God Pavilion as the successor of the Sea God Pavilion in the next generation. She is the number one genius of the inner academy.

"willing!"

Su Wen did not hesitate.

"Hahaha, good boy!" Xuanzi danced with joy.

“However…” Su Wen hesitated for a moment.

Seeing this, Xuanzi's smile vanished instantly, and he and Zhang Lexuan, who was standing to the side, dared not utter a sound, nervously staring at Su Wen.

"I still need to acquire the first soul beast I can control," Su Wen said, scratching his head.

With a top-tier tool like Elder Xuan around, there's no harm in not using him.

"Easy! Elder Xuan will personally lead you to capture it!"

Xuanzi patted his chest, secretly relieved: "Don't even mention a thousand years, ten thousand years, even if it's a ferocious beast that has been entrenched in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest for three or four hundred thousand years, Elder Xuan will still catch it in front of you!"

"No need, ten years is enough."

"Ten years? Oh, that's normal, after all, you've only just begun, and you still need to hunt down your first spirit ring..."

"I already have my first spirit ring." As soon as he finished speaking, the first spirit ring, as white as jade, lit up beneath Su Wen's feet.

Xuanzi was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage: "Who the hell filled Su Wen's first soul ring?! Which little brat was it?" As he spoke, he was about to roll up his sleeves and go down to give him a good beating.

“Myself,” Su Wen said. Xuanzi: “…”

"It comes with the Martial Soul," Su Wen explained.

“I see. Well, there’s nothing we can do about it. It’s just a pity about your first spirit ring. A genius like you should at least be a spirit beast with a lifespan of over four hundred years. Sigh…” Xuanzi said helplessly.

"However, it seems that the age limit can be increased," Su Wen clicked his tongue.

"It can improve... What the hell did you say?!" Xuanzi stared at him blankly, and even Zhang Lexuan's beautiful eyes widened.

"As the cultivation level of the first soul beast I capture increases, the age of my soul ring will also increase along with its age," Su Wen said, spreading his hands.

Elder Xuan: "..."

He and Zhang Lexuan exchanged a glance.

"I think I need to go back and report this to Elder Mu." He said, his throat bobbing, each word distinct.

……

"Whoosh!"

A green shadow flashed through the jungle, leaving only a faint afterimage, causing the trees on both sides to sway. It wandered freely in this sea of ​​trees, like a ghost.

But the next moment.

The green figure was gently grasped in the fair hand, and despite its struggle, it could not break free.

“Qingfeng, a bird-like soul beast with extremely fast flight speed. Judging from the length of its wings, it is about seventeen years old.” Zhang Lexuan slowly opened her hand, and a small blue bird was lying trembling on her palm. Its feathers were all light blue, and it looked as exquisite as a work of art.

“But its abilities are too limited.” Su Wen shook his head. “It doesn’t even have any attributes.”

While maximizing speed would indeed be incredibly powerful, it comes at a huge cost. In the initial selection phase, he preferred an all-around soul beast that was good at both offense and defense, and whose speed wasn't too bad either.

To be honest, even the wind baboon that nearly killed a god back then is several levels above this Qingfeng—humans at least have wind attributes and high growth potential.

Of course, the most important thing was that there was a line of small print in front of Su Wen.

[Azure-winged Bird, 17.5 years of cultivation, no attributes, no potential, no value for training.]

A soulless beast...

That's right. Since awakening the Martial Soul, this attribute panel for detecting Soul Beasts has also been generated, which saves a lot of trouble. It's like a "humanoid Soul Beast Catalog".

Along the way, most ten-year soul beasts are not much different, meaning that while their potential column is not empty, it is pitifully low.

There's no way around it; ten-year soul beasts are at the very bottom of the soul beast food chain. They are either newly evolved from wild beasts or born from other ten-year soul beasts—one day is ten years, a lifetime is ten years, their bloodline is firmly locked, except for a very few mutated soul beasts...

"Om~"

Seeing that the two weren't paying attention to it, Qingfeng rolled its dark eyes, its figure flashed like lightning, circled a few times in the air to increase its speed, and then flew towards the sky again, not daring to stay on the ground for even a moment.

Zhang Lexuan slowly lowered her hand, her beautiful eyes fixed on the emerald bluebird flying out of the forest. She tilted her head slightly until its figure disappeared from sight.

She clapped her hands with a dashing air and glanced at Su Wen, who was staring blankly into space.

Her beautiful eyes softened a bit. Her strictness was directed at the junior brothers and sisters in the inner courtyard, but when it came to a six-year-old child, she could only overflow with maternal love.

Elder Xuan went to the inner courtyard to report. This kind of strategic-level existence, barring any unforeseen circumstances, will be a key figure for the academy to cultivate in the future, even surpassing Ma Xiaotao.

Because this is the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, the danger level is extremely low, and it's very close to Shrek Academy. At Elder Xuan's speed, a round trip would only take a day, and it wouldn't delay his journey...
