Douluo Continent: I, Long Aotian, will not be a supporting character.
Chapter 003 The Golden Cyclops
"Aotian, usually, when you have twin martial souls, you choose one as the main martial soul to cultivate in the early stages. Only after you reach at least the Soul King level will you add a soul ring to the second martial soul. My idea is that you should cultivate your first martial soul, the Martial God Body, first. With my guidance, your cultivation of the Martial God Body martial soul will be smooth sailing. As for your second martial soul, the Yin-Yang Eyes, the power of destiny it controls is quite mysterious. Your master and the elders are not fully aware of its characteristics. We will continue to study and develop it slowly."
Long Aotian replied, "Yes, I will listen to my master."
Poison Immortal said, "Alright, if that's the case. Ao Tian has innate full soul power, so as long as he obtains a soul ring, he can immediately become a soul master."
"Tomorrow, Yuanba, Yumou, you two will come with me to find a soul beast and add the first soul ring to Aotian's Martial God Body. You two take Aotian back first! We'll set off early tomorrow morning."
Long Yuanba and Ao Yumou replied simultaneously, "Yes, Sect Master!"
Long Yuanba and Ao Yumou brought Long Aotian back home. It was still early, and Long Aotian was still training his body under the guidance of his father, Long Yuanba.
Meanwhile, Long Aotian's mother, Ao Yumou, was preparing the ingredients for his evening medicinal bath.
After awakening his martial soul, Long Aotian was able to gain initial control over the flow of soul power within his body, making training much easier. Before he knew it, a day of training had passed.
In the evening, after a joyful family dinner, it was time for the daily medicinal bath.
The parents each handed something to Long Aotian. Long Yuanba gave Long Aotian a jade bottle, while Ao Yumou gave him a piece of whale glue.
Long Yuanba said, "Aotian, this jade bottle contains a Xuan Shui Pill. This Xuan Shui Pill is a pill produced by the Xuanming Sect, a first-class sect in the Douling Empire. It is made from the essence blood of water-attribute soul beasts and water-attribute plants. It has the effects of cleansing the marrow and strengthening the soul, enhancing soul power, and improving cultivation aptitude. You have innate full soul power. Although your soul power cannot be obviously improved before you obtain a soul ring, the effect of this pill in enhancing soul power will appear after you obtain your first soul ring. So take this pill! This is a gift from your father to you for your martial soul awakening."
Ao Yumou also held up the whale glue in her hand and said, "This thousand-year-old whale glue is a gift your mother prepared for you. Ao Tian, before your martial soul awakened, you only took hundred-year-old whale glue. Now that your martial soul has awakened and you can circulate your soul power on your own, you can try taking this thousand-year-old whale glue today. The Xuan Shui Pill that your father gave you is mild in nature, dissolves everything in water, and has no side effects. It can be taken at the same time as the whale glue to maximize the synergistic effect. You took it together."
Parents who love their children plan far ahead for them. Looking at the pills and whale glue in his parents' hands, Long Aotian said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad!"
Long Aotian took the jade bottle, poured out the Xuan Shui Pill, and put it in his mouth. At the same time, Ao Yumou had already softened the Millennium Whale Glue, and Long Aotian took it and put it in his mouth as well.
In an instant, the Xuan Shui Dan was as gentle as water, and the Millennium Whale Glue was as hot as fire, cleansing each other within Long Aotian's body. In addition, Long Aotian was in a medicinal bath, and with all three working together, Long Aotian felt that the flow of soul power within his body had become much faster.
Long Aotian sat cross-legged in the medicinal bath tub with his eyes closed, circulating his soul power and gradually absorbing the triple effects of the Xuan Shui Pill, the Thousand-Year Whale Glue, and the medicinal bath.
Long Yuanba and Ao Yumou stood beside the bathtub, watching over their son and protecting him.
An hour passed, and the effects of the Xuan Shui Dan and the Millennium Whale Glue gradually wore off, while the medicinal power of the bath also seeped into Long Aotian's body.
Opening his eyes, Long Aotian felt refreshed all over, as if his body had become much lighter.
Long Yuanba asked, "Aotian, how are you feeling? No discomfort, right?"
"Dad, I feel perfectly fine, more comfortable than ever before. I think my soul power will increase significantly after I get my first soul ring."
Ao Yumou also spoke up, "Alright, that's good. Wash yourself up and rest. We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning to hunt for a soul ring for you."
"Okay, Mom and Dad, goodnight!"
After washing his body, Long Aotian went to bed, but instead of lying down, he sat cross-legged on the bed. After awakening his martial soul, he could use meditation instead of rest. Knowing the future, Long Aotian was even less likely to waste a single second of cultivation time.
Although he didn't rest and spent the whole night meditating, Long Aotian was still clear-headed the next morning.
After finishing breakfast, they found Poison Undying, and the four of them headed out of the sect.
The Body Sect is located in the northern region of the Heavenly Soul Empire. The closest gathering place for soul beasts to it is actually the far north. However, the soul beasts in the far north are mostly of the ice and snow attribute, which is incompatible with Long Aotian's attribute.
Therefore, the group headed south towards the center of the continent, towards the Star Dou Great Forest, the largest gathering place of soul beasts on the Douluo Continent.
After more than ten days of trekking, the group of four finally reached the northern edge of the Starry Sky Forest.
Looking at the approaching Star Dou Great Forest, Long Aotian was very excited and eagerly anticipated what his first spirit ring would be.
Du Busi said to Ao Yumou, "Yumou, your martial soul can sense elemental energy. You will be in charge of reconnaissance and finding a suitable hundred-year-old soul beast for Ao Tian."
Upon hearing Du Bu Si's words, Long Aotian replied, "Master, for the first spirit ring, I want to challenge for a thousand-year spirit ring!"
Before Du Busi could reply, Long Yuanba frowned and said, "Aotian, you've only just awakened your martial soul. Don't be so overambitious. Do you know what a challenge a thousand-year-old soul ring is for someone who hasn't even become a soul master yet? I'm afraid that as soon as you start absorbing the soul ring, you'll be overwhelmed by its power. At best, your martial soul will shatter; at worst, you'll die. I won't allow you to take such a big risk."
Ao Yu looked at Long Aotian with disapproval.
Du Busi didn't rush to refute, but instead looked at Long Aotian and said, "Aotian, tell me your own thoughts."
Long Aotian said, "Master, Dad, Mom, I started body training and medicinal baths when I was three years old. In addition, I have taken Xuan Shui Pill and a lot of whale glue. My physical fitness is far superior to that of my peers. Moreover, my Martial God Body Martial Soul is still my own body. After the Martial Soul awakens, the physical strength will be further enhanced. I am confident that I can withstand the energy impact of the thousand-year soul ring."
After listening, Du Busi didn't speak. Instead, he touched Long Aotian's body up and down a few times. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Aotian, I thought your physical strength was already quite good. Being able to absorb a seven or eight hundred-year-old soul ring was already impressive. But now it seems that your physical strength is indeed beyond my expectations. It is no less than that of a three-ring Soul Master. You can even challenge a thousand-year-old soul ring."
Hearing Du Busi's affirmation, Long Yuanba and Ao Yumou were relieved. After all, with Du Busi's strength and knowledge, if he said it was possible, then it was definitely possible.
After agreeing that the first spirit ring would be a thousand-year spirit ring, the group headed into the Star Dou Great Forest.
With her spirit spirit infused, Ao Yumou walked up to Long Aotian, her spirit power radiating outwards. Her eyes shone with a brilliant silver light, and an invisible spiritual force spread out in a fan shape.
Long Yuanba walked to his wife's side, his martial spirit activated, ready to protect her. Long Aotian followed behind his parents, while Du Busi brought up the rear to hold the line for everyone.
After walking for several hours, under Ao Yumou's martial soul perception, the group did not disturb any unsuitable soul beasts that passed by. The four of them gradually went deeper into the forest from the outer perimeter. Whenever they encountered a soul beast, Ao Yumou would introduce the soul beast's species, characteristics, age, and how to determine it to Long Aotian. Wei Tian had just been exposed to this knowledge about soul beasts after his martial soul awakened, and he was quite interested in it. He followed his mother to learn and accumulate knowledge about soul beasts.
For the next few days, everyone searched for suitable soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. They had encountered quite a few soul beasts before, but these soul beasts were either of decent bloodlines but less than a thousand years old, or thousand-year-old soul beasts but of average bloodlines. Naturally, Long Aotian didn't like them. After several days, they still found nothing in the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
After searching for several more days, the four of them had ventured deep into the mixed zone where ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts occasionally appeared.
That evening, everyone was preparing to rest and continue the search the next day.
Suddenly, a glint flashed in Ao Yu's eyes, and she said, "Sect Master, Yuan Ba, Ao Tian, I sense that there is a gathering place of soul beasts two thousand meters to the right. Among them are many soul beasts with soul power fluctuations of over a thousand years. Moreover, I can sense that the blood and qi power fluctuations of this group of soul beasts are extremely powerful. Perhaps they are suitable to be your first soul ring."
Upon hearing that there might be a suitable soul beast, Long Aotian's face lit up with joy. The four of them headed to the right front, and soon they saw a sizable hillside a few hundred meters away. On one side of the hillside were dozens of caves, some large and some small.
Under the moonlight and with the enhancement of his second spirit eye, even at night and hundreds of meters away, Long Aotian could clearly see that in each of the dozens of caves, a spirit beast was lying soundly asleep.
These soul beasts have black and white fur covering their entire bodies. Except for a single eye on their foreheads, they resemble humans in other ways. They even have clothing made of branches and vines to cover their vital parts.
"It's a race of Cyclopes. Cyclopes have formidable physical strength, making them indeed suitable as the soul rings for the Pride of Heaven Martial God Body."
"Look, there's a cyclops soul beast in the third cave from the right in the middle of those caves," Ao Yumou said softly to the three of them.
The three looked in the direction Ao Yumou was pointing, and saw that the soul beast in the cave was different from the ordinary cyclops soul beast. Its black and white fur was faintly glowing with golden light. What was even more peculiar was that it had a total of six arms lying flat on the cave floor.
"It's actually a six-armed golden cyclops. It seems that this soul beast has reverted to its ancestral bloodline. Cyclops inherently possess the bloodline of Titans, and the two most powerful branches of the Titan race are the Golden Titans and the Hundred-Armed Titans. These two Titan races, similar to the Golden Behemoth, the King of Land Warfare, both have the formidable strength to fight against true dragons."
"This six-armed golden cyclops has reverted to its ancestral bloodline, awakening both the Golden Titan and Hundred-Armed Giant bloodlines. Although it is only a newly entered thousand-year soul beast and has only reached the six-armed level, I'm afraid even ordinary ten-thousand-year soul beasts would be no match for it."
A thousand-year-old soul beast, with ancestral bloodline and formidable physical strength, it's practically perfect.
"Master, Dad, Mom, I want this six-armed golden cyclops soul beast."
"Alright, Yuanba, you protect your wife and children, I'll go and capture that soul beast."
Before the words were even finished, the invincible poison was already heading towards that hillside.
