In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 19: I was blown away by the martial spirit!

"These are Nether Wolves." As they entered the forest, the two quickly encountered their first group of animal-type spirit beasts. The dean remained calm and introduced them while summoning his martial spirit.

As the four spirit rings—white, yellow, and purple—pulled rhythmically beneath his feet, a leather whip appeared in his palm.

"Second Soul Skill, Whiplash."

With a single wave of his hand, the whip extended, leaving countless afterimages and creating gusts of wind pressure.

Snap, snap, snap! The wolves in front were quickly whipped and howled, scattering in panic and fleeing in all directions.

"Amazing!" Zhu Wu praised without reservation, showering him with compliments immediately.

No wonder it struggled to defeat the 600-year-old Ghost Vine in the original story; its martial soul was a whip! It possesses ranged attack capabilities and can effectively evade the Ghost Vine's parasitic abilities, making it somewhat effective against it. However, the martial soul's attack power is insufficient, so it requires a considerable amount of time to defeat.

The 600-year-old ghost vine is quite large, with thick skin and tough flesh, making it very resistant to scorching.

I wonder if the Dean has any special hobbies when he's at home late at night. I couldn't help but glance at the Dean.

It looks quite serious.

"Let's go." Seeing that there was no more sound around, the dean put away his whip and continued to lead the way.

As they walked, he patiently introduced the spirit beasts along the way to Zhu Wu.

Zhu Wu nodded repeatedly, and without making a sound, summoned Xiao Bai to memorize the appearance of the soul beast he saw.

"I didn't expect there to be so many soul beasts in a low-level Soul Hunting Forest." After walking for most of the day, Zhu Wu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Having experienced it firsthand, he realized that surviving in the Soul Beast Forest was far more dangerous than he had imagined. He had indeed been too naive before.

The idea that netizens in my past life could easily hunt down an animal only exists in the sound of keyboards.

"The beginner-level Soul Hunting Forest is like this, but what about the Star Dou Great Forest? It seems we need to make more preparations."

Two days later, in a dark place.

"It's actually the first three-eyed demon fox! Little Zhu, you're in luck!" The dean's face lit up with surprise as he saw the purple fox drinking water by the stream in the distance. "Judging from its size, it should be exactly 400 years old. Even if it exceeds that, it shouldn't be by much. It's just right."

"Dean, thank you for your help." Zhu Wu said gratefully.

Having practiced the Vajra Skill for so long, he felt that with his current physical strength, he should be able to absorb higher-age soul rings. However, after his experience in the Soul Hunting Forest, he understood that it was almost impossible for him to hunt one alone with his current strength. Finding a soul ring with suitable attributes and already 400 years old with the help of the academy dean was already quite good.

Without ability or background, what kind of bicycle do you want?

Moreover, his luck was already quite good. The Three-Eyed Demon Fox was already considered a top-tier species among fox-type soul beasts, and it happened to possess the spiritual attribute. In the original story, Xiao Wu's seventh soul ring came from the Three-Eyed Demon Fox, and she also lost a piece of the Wisdom Soul Bone.

"It's nothing." The dean smiled, summoned his martial spirit, and rushed out in one step, his third and fourth spirit rings lighting up.

"Third Soul Skill, Shadow Whip!" A flash of light appeared, and a leather whip appeared in the empty palm of his left hand.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Chaotic Shadow Annihilation!" With both hands waving simultaneously, the two whips instantly transformed into countless whip shadows, slithering like long snakes and covering a large area in front.

His third and fourth soul skills were both hunted on the recommendation of Yu Xiaogang, and both came from venomous snake-type soul beasts. He originally thought of trying to add some toxicity to his martial soul.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

"Hmm, is this fourth soul skill perhaps an additional snake-type soul ring added on Yu Xiaogang's advice?"

Looking at the manifestation of the Dean's fourth soul skill, Zhu Wu couldn't help but make a guess.

"No wonder its resilience is relatively low, but its attack power is also low."

Lost in thought, the three-eyed fox was caught off guard and engulfed by the whip's shadow, the sound of whips cracking echoing across its body. The nearby stream was also affected, splashing water everywhere. In the blink of an eye, the little fox lay on the ground, covered in blood and half-dead.

Fortunately, I have the Vajra Skill to strengthen my body. A fragile mage has no future. If I'm going to be a mage, I should be a tank... Zhu Wu couldn't help but think as he looked at the miserable state of the Three-Eyed Demon Fox.

"Xiao Wu, go on." The dean stopped what he was doing and turned to say.

"Alright." Zhu Wu nodded, gripped the dagger, strode forward, and with a single slash, ended the life.

Soon, a yellow spirit ring floated out.

Zhu Wu placed the dagger aside, sat cross-legged, and began to meditate to guide his soul ring.

Unlike weapon spirits, which can be summoned and used as weapons, beast spirits manifest in a possessive form. Therefore, when absorbing spirit rings, it is not necessary to summon the spirit; instead, one can directly meditate and guide it, and the spirit ring will automatically be absorbed onto the body. This is basic knowledge taught by the academy teachers. He didn't know if his detached spirit would be different, but he wasn't going to experiment at the moment.

After all, there was someone else there.

If you can't draw upon your martial spirit, then there's nothing you can do.

As it turned out, he was overthinking it.

The moment he began meditating, the spirit ring beside him reacted, floating lightly to the top of his head and slowly slipping down.

Until it reaches the waist, it suddenly begins to contract.

Zhu Wu immediately felt a surge of violent energy, like molten lava, rushing into his body, rapidly flowing through his meridians and internal organs, giving him no chance to prepare; it was wild and brutal. A sharp pain gripped his body, causing it to tremble uncontrollably.

"Hold on. No matter how much the spirit ring energy impacts your body, remember to stay alert," the dean's voice suddenly came.

Zhu Wu had no way to respond, but gritted his teeth and persevered, his consciousness gradually sinking into resisting the scalding ocean within his body.

However, after a while, his consciousness inexplicably cleared, and he vaguely seemed to see a sea of ​​fire. In the center of that sea of ​​fire, his Little White was twisting its body and floating in mid-air. Flames continued to rise around it, fiercely drilling into Little White's body, turning it completely red.

The next second, a feeling of painful struggle came over me.

"Little White, hold on!" Zhu Wu understood that this was the Inner Vision Realm that Tang San had reached during the absorption of his first spirit ring, and now he too had reached it under the infusion of spirit ring energy. In this state, he couldn't speak, so he could only shout in his heart. Miraculously, Little White seemed to sense this thought; her petite body stopped struggling and twisting, and instead calmed down, slowly curling into a ball.

Seeing this, Zhu Wu breathed a sigh of relief and began to observe Xiao Bai's changes.

After a while, apart from a slight increase in size, no other changes occurred.

"Could it be that there isn't enough energy for evolution?" Zhu Wu couldn't help but wonder.

After a moment of silence, he turned to feel the soul power flowing through his meridians, experiencing this feeling of introspection, and marveled at it.

Time passed slowly, and after an unknown amount of time, the energy that had been surging around them ceased. In their field of vision, the once blazing sea of ​​fire had transformed into a vast white space, in the center of which Little White had unfurled its form, now as thick as a thumb, its skin as white as jade, crystal clear.

A peculiar flow of information entered his mind at that moment.

"This!" Zhu Wu was shocked.

Can this be done?

According to the information Xiaobai sent, he did not obtain a soul skill like a normal martial soul, or rather, he obtained a very special soul skill.

That is, the martial soul transforms into the three-eyed demon fox that was just hunted, and inherits all of its abilities.

Note that it is the inheritance of the martial spirit, not him!

Furthermore, the martial soul can only unleash these abilities after transforming into the Three-Eyed Demon Fox form.

The key point is that after Xiao Bai transforms into the Three-Eyed Demon Fox, he can perform Martial Soul Possession in this form, essentially transforming his Silkworm Martial Soul into the Three-Eyed Demon Fox Martial Soul. Afterward, he can unleash all the abilities of this Three-Eyed Demon Fox. However, if Xiao Bai is separated from his body to fight, he will lose these abilities. The reason is understandable: it is the Martial Soul Xiao Bai, not him, that inherits the Three-Eyed Demon Fox's abilities.

"Is this what makes a separated martial soul special?"

The key point is that this isn't the most outrageous part. The most outrageous part is that, in his Martial Soul Possession form, he can also switch to beast form, that is, become a three-eyed demon fox to fight.

Zhu Wu said he was impressed by the display of skill.
