Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends.

Without further hesitation, Tang San drew his short sword, channeled his inner strength, and precisely severed the energy core of the Vine of Life. A bright yellow soul ring then slowly condensed and appeared.

Under the watchful eyes of Yu Xiaogang and Cinderella, Tang San sat down cross-legged and began to guide the soul rings into his body.

The process went much more smoothly than expected. Although the energy of the Vine of Life was immense, it was exceptionally gentle, blending seamlessly with the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul without producing any rejection reaction.

Tang San felt a warm and vibrant energy flowing through his body, nourishing his meridians and martial soul. His Xuan Tian Gong internal energy, which had reached a bottleneck, surged and broke through the first level in an instant, advancing towards the second level.

After a long while, Tang San opened his eyes, a hint of joy and greenery flashing in them.

He raised his hand, and the Blue Silver Grass martial spirit appeared. The originally slender grass leaves became much thicker, and the color became a deeper emerald green, as if containing boundless vitality.

Above the blades of grass, a bright yellow soul ring slowly swirls.

"You succeeded? What is a soul skill?" Yu Xiaogang asked hurriedly.

His feelings were complicated at this moment. He hoped that Tang San would fail so as to prove that he was right, but he also hoped that Tang San would successfully acquire a good soul skill to lay a solid foundation for the future.

Tang San sensed his newly acquired ability and said, "My first soul skill is called: Life Absorption. It allows me to contact a target through Blue Silver Grass and absorb their life force to heal myself or a designated teammate."

He was concise, but the effect left Yu Xiaogang speechless.

"Healing! The Blue Silver Grass can actually have healing abilities!"

Yu Xiaogang was stunned, as if struck by lightning.

The soul skill that Tang San acquired completely overturned his previous understanding. Could it be that the little girl was just lucky and actually got it right?

How is that possible!

Tang Hao, who was hiding in the shadows, sensed the pure life force that Tang San had successfully absorbed after his soul ring was absorbed, and his eyes lit up with surprise.

So alike! It's so much like Agin's aura!

Cindy does indeed have some knowledge of martial spirits.

Cinderella, standing to the side, smiled slightly. Everything was going as expected; the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline should naturally follow the path of life.

After Tang San obtained the soul ring, it was Cinderella's turn.

Yu Xiaogang composed himself and began searching for speed-type soul beasts.

After witnessing Yu Xiaogang's soul skills, Tang Hao began to doubt his combat abilities. He was unsure whether Yu Xiaogang could handle a speed-type hundred-year-old soul beast.

Therefore, Tang Hao decisively chose to act secretly and capture a soul beast for Cinderella.

Soon, Tang Hao had a target: a Starlight Weasel that was about four hundred years old. This kind of soul beast was extremely fast and its body would glow like stars when it moved at night. It was good at short-distance flashing and creating light illusions.

Tang Hao released his Title Douluo aura directly, and Starlight Weasel instantly collapsed to the ground, motionless.

Then, he picked up the half-crippled Starlight Weasel and threw it onto the path that Cinderella and the others were bound to take.

“Cindy, this Starlight Weasel is just right! It’s a bit older, but you have full innate soul power, so you should be able to handle it! Get ready to make your move.”

Tang San reacted extremely quickly, instantly throwing out his Blue Silver Grass to entangle the Starlight Weasel. Although the Starlight Weasel had been severely injured by Tang Hao, it was still incredibly fast, transforming into a streak of light that easily evaded Tang San's Blue Silver Grass and headed towards Cinderella.

The yellow soul ring on Yu Xiaogang's body was ready to be put on Luo Sanpao in an instant.

At this critical moment, Cinderella remained unusually calm.

She didn't even back down. A strange light flashed in her azure eyes, and the martial spirit of the seemingly ordinary crystal dancing shoes beneath her feet shone slightly!

The next second, something shocking happened.

The star-shaped weasel, pouncing forward, suddenly froze just before it could touch Cinderella. A hint of confusion flashed in its crimson eyes, as if it were drawn to something invisible, and its attack involuntarily slowed down.

During this brief pause, Cinderella, who was already poised to pounce, was unlikely to miss this opportunity.

Chapter 59 Cinderella's First Soul Ring

Cinderella's palm, imbued with the power of the Mysterious Heaven Technique, struck with the precision of a butterfly flitting among flowers, hitting the Starlight Weasel squarely on the head.

"Squeak!" The Starlight Weasel cried out in pain as it was sent flying, crashing into a tree and losing consciousness.

A brighter yellow soul ring than the previous Vine of Life condensed.

The whole process happened in the blink of an eye. Yu Xiaogang didn't even see what happened before the Starlight Weasel was already defeated.

He only saw that Cinderella seemed to have done nothing, but the soul beast suddenly froze for a moment, and then Cinderella slapped it to death.

"Cindy, what did you just do?" Yu Xiaogang asked in surprise and doubt.

"I'm not entirely sure, Master. Perhaps the Crystal Dancing Shoes martial soul has a slight allure function?"

Cinderella cleverly attributed the credit to the glass slipper, concealing the fleeting, Cinderella-like ability to attract attention that she herself had used.

Tang San also felt a little strange, but as long as Cinderella was alright, he didn't think too much about it. He just stayed more vigilant and protected his sister.

Yu Xiaogang was skeptical, but he didn't dare to ask any further questions and could only attribute it to the effect of a top-tier martial soul.

He pointed to the soul ring: "Quick, Cindy, absorb this soul ring now. It's over four hundred years old. It's a bit risky, but worth a try!"

Cinderella nodded, sat down cross-legged, and began to guide the soul rings.

The Starlight Weasel's energy, possessing agility and a touch of psychedelic properties, surged into her body along with the Soul Ring.

The process was somewhat shocking, but thanks to her innate full soul power and the characteristics of her fairytale martial soul, she managed to withstand it without any major incidents.

When Cinderella opened her eyes again, the Crystal Dancing Shoes spirit appeared beneath her feet, becoming even more crystal clear, as if starlight flowed within them, while a bright yellow spirit ring surrounded them.

"It's a success! What is the soul skill?" Yu Xiaogang asked eagerly again.

Cinderella, feeling the power she had just gained, smiled sweetly and said in a clear voice, "My first soul skill is called: Starlight Leap."

With a slight thought, her crystal dancing shoes flashed, and she instantly became blurry. The next moment, she appeared out of thin air next to a large tree thirty meters away, leaving a faint trace of light behind her.

The moment she landed, a small area centered on her toes seemed to scatter with dazzling stardust. Several small insect soul beasts that had curiously approached froze instantly, momentarily stunned.

"Teleportation! And it also has a wide-area stun effect!"

Yu Xiaogang was shocked once again. The effect of this soul skill far exceeded his understanding of century-old soul skills.

This is simply a divine skill for survival and control!

Although the dizziness may seem short, it can be enough to turn the tide of battle in a critical moment!

Tang Hao, hidden in the shadows, once again showed surprise in his eyes.

Is Cindy's affection for him a little too much?

He began to re-examine the daughter he had found.

Cinderella was extremely satisfied with her soul skill, which perfectly matched her Cinderella-like qualities, including the gorgeous transformation and escape at midnight and the captivating effect.

At this point, both Tang San and Cinderella successfully obtained their first soul rings, and the effects of their soul skills far exceeded Yu Xiaogang's expectations.

Or rather, it completely deviated from his theory.

Yu Xiaogang's feelings were extremely complicated. He felt gratified by his student's success, but also frustrated by the subversion of his theory and a trace of indescribable panic.

Tang San was genuinely happy for his sister when he saw that she had obtained such a useful soul skill.

At the same time, he also felt the power of the life force he had gained from absorbing this soul skill.

With treatment, control, and teleportation, Tang San believes that the future cooperation between the siblings is limitless.

The journey through the Soul Hunting Forest has come to a successful conclusion.

On the return journey in the carriage, Yu Xiaogang remained silent for a long time, frowning and deep in thought.

Tang Hao, hidden in the shadows, watched the carriage disappear into the distance, his gaze deep and thoughtful.

He began to feel that perhaps the one who could truly guide these two children was not the so-called master, but rather Cindy, who seemed weak but always brought unexpected joy.

……

While Tang San and Cinderella were acquiring their first spirit ring in the Soul Hunting Forest, in the center of Spirit City, inside the hall that symbolized the highest power on the Douluo Continent, a contest and examination of geniuses had just concluded.

Prince Florian, dressed in a brand-new white gown prepared for him by the orphanage, had his short, golden hair meticulously combed.

He stood tall and his demeanor was impeccable, his azure eyes calmly gazing at the towering papal throne before him.

Bibi Dong wore a purple-gold crown and held a scepter. Her beautiful face carried an air of majesty, along with a hint of weariness and indifference that was hard to detect.

Her gaze fell on Florian as if examining a fine object.

The Radiant Unicorn, with its innate full soul power, is indeed a genius that appears only once in a century.

Unfortunately, he was male, and his martial soul attribute was completely opposite to, and even subtly countered, the dark and venomous attributes of her Death Spider Queen and Soul Devouring Spider Queen.

Such a promising talent is unlikely to inherit her mantle or become her most trusted confidant.

Therefore, Bibidon simply offered Florian a few words of encouragement and bestowed some resources upon him before entrusting the subsequent matters to the cardinal beside her.

For her, Florian was more like a tool to enhance the overall strength of the Spirit Hall, and perhaps to slightly restrain the increasingly powerful Hall of Worship.

The Papal Palace was not the only one to learn that Florian possessed innate full soul power and a Light Unicorn Martial Soul; the Hall of Worship also received this information.

Therefore, shortly after Florian left the Papal Palace, he was led to a side hall outside the main hall.

In the side hall, Florian felt an immense, warm yet supremely majestic gaze upon him.

That gaze seemed to penetrate his body and reach the depths of his soul.

He could even feel the familiar buzzing of the Radiant Unicorn Martial Soul within his body.

He knew the source of that gaze was the Grand Elder of the Hall of Worship, Sen Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu did not appear, but his will had already been conveyed.

The Light Unicorn, with its ultimate attributes of light and divinity, is simply the most perfect appendage and guardian inherited from the Angel God.

Its quality is no less than that of the six-winged angel itself. Such a genius must not be confined to the ordinary teaching system. He must be personally cultivated and guided by the Hall of Worship so that he can become the sharpest holy sword of the Spirit Hall and the strongest support for his future granddaughter Qian Renxue and great-granddaughter Snow White.

The income must be used to make offerings in the temple.

But before that, Qian Daoliu needed to confirm one last thing: the child's character.

Those with exceptional talent but poor character can cause even greater harm if cultivated.

He needs time to observe and test Florian.

Chapter 60 Lin Wan Enters the Heavenly Battle

Therefore, Florian was placed in the highest-level seed class of the Spirit Hall Academy, enjoying the best resources while also being under the strictest protection and observation.

During his acquisition of his first soul ring, he was secretly protected by powerful figures from the Hall of Worship, who also helped him choose the most suitable soul beast.

In the end, with the help of a Soul Emperor-level expert, Florian successfully hunted down a 400-year-old Holy Light Beast and obtained his first Soul Ring.

His first soul skill: Radiant Strike.

By highly condensing pure light energy onto the unicorn's horn, a swift and precise thrust is launched, possessing extremely strong penetrating power. It can ignore 30% of the enemy's physical defense and leave a continuous burning light effect upon impact. Damage to enemies with dark or evil attributes is doubled.

An extremely pure and powerful single-target offensive soul skill, perfectly matching his attributes as a luminous unicorn, also foreshadowing his future as a nightmare for evil soul masters and dark soul beasts.

……

The training grounds of the Blazing Fire Academy were shrouded in sweltering heat.

Leah held her breath, her petite body slightly arched, her amber eyes fixed on the constantly moving target made of special refractory material.

A bright yellow soul ring rose beneath her feet, and a fiery match-shaped martial soul quietly burned in her palm.

Suddenly, her wrist jerked!

"First Soul Skill, Seed of Phosphorous Fire!"

With a whoosh, a tiny, almost transparent match, no bigger than a fingernail, shot out like a firefly, instantly covering a distance of tens of meters and precisely nailing itself to the center of the moving target.

The moment the flame of the match touched the target, it did not explode violently. Instead, it quietly attached itself to the target, turning into a flickering ball of orange-red flame that continuously burned the target with a sizzling sound.

Leah didn't stop. She took a deep breath, mobilized her meager soul power again, and the fiery match spirit in her palm suddenly lit up, bursting forth with an even stronger flame that struck the target.

Boom! The attached phosphorescent seeds seemed to have been thrown into kerosene and were instantly ignited.

A small-scale fire explosion occurred, directly blasting the fire-resistant target into a charred and cracked state.

"Success!"

Leah's pale cheeks flushed red from excitement and the depletion of her soul power, and her eyes were filled with joy.

Her first soul skill, Seed of Phosphorus Fire, fires an extremely tiny and imperceptible seed of fire that attaches to the target, causing continuous burning damage.

More importantly, this seed can be detonated by any subsequent fire-type soul skill or her own ordinary fire attack, causing additional explosive damage.
