Douluo Continent: Xiao Xiao, I'm going to control you fiercely!

"Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao? What's wrong?"

As the layers of emphasis gradually became clearer, Xiao Xiao regained consciousness.

"It's nothing, Father, let's go."

Despite being manipulated and giving the same answer, Xiao Xiao now had a different state of mind.

Is this what gods are?!

It's incredibly easy to turn back time!

He could turn back time simply because he was dissatisfied with his soul rings and soul skills.

That's incredibly powerful and capricious.

Uh, wait a minute.

This isn't the route we took to enter the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Part of the map has been lit up. I didn't expect that there would be 8 teleportation points evenly distributed in each layer of the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Last time we activated the western teleportation point and most of the western soul beasts' encyclopedia entries. This time, let's head from the southwest."

"By the way, the encyclopedia only provides a search function; as for Soul Skills and such, you have to try them out one by one yourself. It's time to get serious again."

What does "opening up the liver" mean?

Xiao Xiao said she didn't understand.

But she had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

really.

They ventured deep into the mixed zone from the southwest, hunted down a Thousand-Pound Ant King, and miraculously absorbed its soul ring.

She heard that voice again.

"The power of the cauldron increases the weight of the cauldron by 100%. The cauldron can be split into three and exert its weight on enemies within a 5-meter radius of the cauldron."

"This trash soul skill is even worse than the one from before."

"There's no mechanism, just pure numbers."

Then, time began to reverse again.

They returned to where they had been three days earlier.

Liver surgery.

Try them one by one.

Xiao Xiao finally understood what the god meant.

Pain, anger, pleasure...

Xiao Xiao didn't understand how she was feeling right now.

They can kill soul beasts time and time again without fear of death, then absorb soul rings to try out the effects of different soul skills, and finally choose the one that suits them best.

This is something that countless Soul Masters dream of.

However, the process of absorbing a spirit ring is extremely painful.

Weaker soul beasts are alright.

The feeling of absorbing a soul ring from a thousand-year-old soul beast with a stronger bloodline is no less than that of a person with a severe cold running 5 kilometers in the middle of summer.

It's really giving me a headache and a feeling of dizziness.

once,

twice,

three times,

......

After rewinding more than ten times, Xiao Xiao finally heard a voice in her ear again.

"Ah, finally, after more than ten attempts, I've finally finished unlocking the outer map of the Star Dou Three Forest."

"Fortunately, the encyclopedia and map don't revert to previous versions, otherwise it would have been much more troublesome."

"Let me take a look at the outer area now. Hmm, there's a thousand-year-old soul beast right next to the territory of the Ten-Thousand-Year Tiger Demon Cat."

"Could this be the thousand-year-old dark gold dinosaur bear from the original story?"

Even if it isn't, this soul beast still has a pretty high bloodline.

"Go go go, let's go!"

With this thought in mind, Xu Shu manipulated Xiao Xiao to guide Xiao's parents toward the territory of the unknown soul beast.

After a while.

Parting the dense grass in front of me.

Xu Shu spotted the giant bear with dark golden fur drinking water by the river in the distance.

"A Thousand-Year-Old Dark Gold Devilclaw Bear!"

Xiao's father, standing beside him, exclaimed in surprise.

"We didn't expect to be so lucky. Generally speaking, it's very difficult to see such a lone top-tier soul beast on the outskirts of the mixed zone."

"Moreover, it's been around a thousand years."

Upon seeing this, Xu Shu casually saved the file.

If, after absorbing the spirit ring, no external spirit bone drops, the repeated rewinding of this part will be quite interesting.

"Xiao Xiao, this is a level 2 soul-guided ray gun."

Xiao's father took out a ray gun from his storage soul tool and bent down to hand it to Xiao Xiao.

"The attack and defense of the Thousand-Year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear are comparable to those of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Your dagger should not be able to break through its defense."

"To avoid a possible counterattack, after your mother and I subdue it, look for an opportunity to attack its vulnerable areas such as its eyes or mouth."

"Yes, Father."

After giving a standard answer, Xu Shu comfortably reached for the button behind the screen.

It's 2056 already, and screens all have built-in AI-assisted aiming. How could he possibly miss?

You're kidding, aren't you?

The Thousand-Year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear truly lives up to its reputation as an existence capable of contending with ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

Even with the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron weakening him, Xiao's mother, a powerful offensive Soul Emperor, still had to expend considerable effort to subdue him.

For Xu Shu, this manifested in a half-minute-long cutscene playing on the game screen.

Chirp chirp chirp—

A simple three-shot burst hit the same spot.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which was still panting on the ground, suddenly lost its life.

A dazzling purple spirit ring appeared.

absorb.

This time, the difficulty of the mini-games didn't increase much.

However, the game time is much longer.

really.

The game is similar to the original work, and the influence of the soul beast bloodline on absorbing soul rings of the same age is minimal.

It will just take a little longer at most.

The real difference lies in the soul bones.

In fact, what Xu Shu didn't know was that the game's difficulty hadn't increased much.

This was entirely because Xiao Xiao had become accustomed to absorbing the thousand-year soul ring, and her spiritual power underwent a slight qualitative change.

After all, anyone who absorbs a dozen or so spirit rings and has to contend with the pressure of those rings time and time again has to get used to it.

"First Soul Skill, Collapse."

"The patterns on the cauldron are activated, increasing its weight and power by 100%, releasing a portion of its power and shockwave to suppress enemies. Those struck by the cauldron will be stunned for 3 seconds due to its power and shockwave, and their soul power will be continuously disintegrated (5% disintegration per hit)."

"At the same time, each cauldron has the ability to split into three. For every ten levels of soul power that increases, each of the split cauldrons can split again."

"Powerful aura, this is an ability that Xiao Xiao only showed in her sixth soul skill later on."

"It also comes with the ability to disintegrate soul power and split multiple times."

"This disintegration was inspired by the disintegration of Xiao Xiao's soul power and right hand when the external metacarpal bone was absorbed."

"It has both mechanics and stats; it's like the left punch deals more damage than the right!"

"It has to be a top-tier soul beast like the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear."

Hearing the satisfied and happy tone in his ear, Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief after absorbing the spirit ring.

at last.

If I'm this satisfied, I shouldn't have to go back to what I was three days ago.

To be honest...

Xiao Xiao felt that the Star Dou Great Forest was more familiar to her than her own home; she was almost sick of seeing it.

"call--"

"Xiao Xiao, why didn't you recover to your optimal state after firing the soul guide ray before absorbing the soul ring?"

"And this is a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's spirit ring, it really scared me to death."

With a slightly reproachful tone, Xiao's mother hugged Xiao Xiao into her arms.

"Alright, alright, Xiao Xiao is fine now, stop talking about the child."

"Moreover, the first spirit ring in a millennium, a spirit ring configuration never before seen in the Douluo Continent, my Xiao Xiao has the potential to become a god!"

While Xiao's father was trying to persuade Xiao's mother, he winked at Xiao Xiao in a funny way.

but.

Upon hearing Xiao's father's words, Xiao Xiao felt a chill run down her spine.

For the past ten or so times, it's always been around this time...

Sure enough, the next moment.

"Bad luck this time, no foreign server soul bones, sigh—"

No, wait.

A long sigh startled Xiao Xiao, making her feel as if she had regained control of her body for a moment.

"Luckily, I had saved a file from a recent date."

"World! Rollback!"
