Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is a Simulator

Chapter 197 Taking Down Xiao Wu

If Xiao Wu is indeed preparing to transform into human form, then perhaps he could try to stop her.

When a 100,000-year-old soul beast transforms, it first forms an embryo from a day's worth of energy gas, and finally develops into a human form within the embryo.

Furthermore, the human form that was born was already 6 years old and had awakened its martial soul.

Moreover, they are all born with full soul power, and can automatically condense their first soul ring immediately after transforming into human form, thus possessing a certain survival ability.

After successfully transforming into human form, a 100,000-year-old soul beast must enter human society, interact with humans, and absorb human energy before it can continue its cultivation.

I don't know where this rule came from, but it's just that a 100,000-year-old soul beast that has transformed into human form must come into contact with real humans in order to continue cultivating.

But Muge doesn't care about that.

At this moment, Mu Ge was thinking of snatching Xiao Wu away while she was still in the embryonic stage after she had taken human form.

Because a 100,000-year-old soul beast in its embryonic stage can be directly absorbed by a soul master, and there is a certain possibility that the 100,000-year-old soul beast can directly become one's acquired martial soul.

This possibility was directly stated in the original work, ten thousand years later, at an auction in Douluo Continent II.

The embryonic form of the 100,000-year-old soul beast that was auctioned at the time was the Snow Empress, who had 700,000 years of cultivation.

However, there are certain hidden dangers in absorbing and transforming acquired martial souls under such circumstances.

The first issue is compatibility.

Then, the acquired martial soul formed under such circumstances retains the soul of that 100,000-year-old soul beast. The other party is definitely unwilling. During the embryonic stage, the other party's soul is dormant and has no memories that can be absorbed. After the absorption is successful, once the other party's soul recovers and its memories awaken, the soul master must suppress the other party's backlash.

The backlash in this situation is far more severe than the soul shock one would experience when absorbing a soul ring that is over ten thousand years old.

When a soul beast that is over 10,000 years old is killed, only a remnant soul is condensed on the soul ring.

What was condensed on the embryonic form of the 100,000-year-old soul beast was the opponent's complete soul.

"Compatibility is not an issue for me at all!"

"Even with the Light of the Sea God, I can completely suppress the backlash!"

"If I can absorb Xiao Wu and make her my second martial soul, I'll have a chance to obtain the Asura God's position!"

"Such opportunities are rare!"

"It's incredibly difficult to encounter a 100,000-year-old soul beast in the process of transforming!"

Thinking about the possibility of obtaining a second martial soul, Mu Ge admitted that he was tempted.

When Mu Ge was eyeing the position of the Asura God, he had considered absorbing the embryo of a 100,000-year-old soul beast to obtain his second martial soul!

However, it is extremely difficult to obtain a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo. It will only appear in embryonic form for a very short period of time after a 100,000-year-old soul beast chooses to transform.

Even if he could monitor all the 100,000-year-old soul beasts and discover that one of them had chosen to transform, it would be too late.

Not to mention, the messages delivered by Blue Silver Grass are usually quite delayed.

By the time Blue Silver Grass noticed, the other party had already transformed into a human!

So even though he knew that Xiao Wu might choose to transform into human form in the next few years, Mu Ge didn't set his sights on her, because he couldn't stay by Xiao Wu's side forever.

As long as he doesn't stay by Xiao Wu's side waiting for her to transform into human form, there is no hope whatsoever!

And now Xiao Wu is just about to transform into human form, so it just so happens to be the perfect time!

Mu Ge felt he shouldn't miss such an opportunity.

Otherwise, who knows when I'll be able to obtain a second martial soul again!

In fact, Mu Ge didn't care about having a second martial soul. As long as he completed the divine test and inherited the position of the Sea God, having an extra martial soul wouldn't make him much stronger.

What Mu Ge mainly wanted was to use his second martial soul to seize the inheritance of the Asura God.

……

"Sister Xiaowu, are you really sure?"

On the shore of Mirror Lake, the Azure Bull Python asked Xiao Wu in a heavy voice, its tone filled with deep worry.

"Sister Xiaowu, can't we wait until next year? Sister Xiaowu, isn't the Heavenly Tribulation still a year away?"

Erming's tone was also filled with worry. He hoped that Xiaowu could wait until the heavenly tribulation was really about to descend before choosing to transform into human form, instead of rushing things.

"Da Ming and Er Ming, you don't need to say anything more!"

"I've made up my mind, I'm going to transform and start over!"

"Only by transforming and rebuilding my body can I openly enter human society and then seek revenge!"

Upon hearing Da Ming and Er Ming's words, Xiao Wu replied firmly.

Upon hearing Xiao Wu's resolute answer, both Da Ming and Er Ming fell silent.

Xiao Wu's answer actually revealed their greater concern.

If Xiao Wu is simply undergoing a transformation and rebuilding her cultivation, the danger is not too great. However, if she intends to seek revenge on her enemies after her transformation and rebuilding, then it will be dangerous.

Xiao Wu's mother's killers are Tang Hao, who possesses the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul and has already broken through to the Title Douluo level, and the Pope of the Spirit Hall!

Each of them is extremely dangerous!

They tried to persuade Xiaowu to give up on revenge, but they failed. Xiaowu even got angry, so they didn't dare to try again.

"Alright, since Sister Xiaowu has made her decision, then let's protect her!"

Finally, Da Ming spoke in a deep voice.

"Yes, thank you, Da Ming and Er Ming!"

Xiao Wu nodded upon hearing this and said gratefully.

Xiao Wu trusted Da Ming and Er Ming very much, and then immediately began to transform on the spot.

hum-

A large amount of red soul power began to emanate from Xiao Wu's body, eventually enveloping her entire figure.

Da Ming and Er Ming could only watch from the sidelines, waiting for Xiao Wu to transform into an embryo, then condense into a human body from the embryo, and finally take human form.

Although they claimed to be protecting him, Da Ming and Er Ming weren't actually that serious.

Because Mirror Lake is their lair, and normally no powerful soul beasts dare to approach it.

"Da Ming, what do you think about me and Sister Xiao Wu transforming together?"

As Xiao Wu was transforming, Er Ming suddenly looked up at Da Ming and asked a question.

"You'd better stay out of it. I know you want to stay by Xiaowu's side and help her, but with your intelligence, going out there will only cause her trouble!"

"Besides, the sudden appearance of two geniuses with innate full soul power would attract too much attention, which isn't a good thing, unless you don't follow Sister Xiaowu after you leave!"

Upon hearing Erming's words, Daming glanced at Erming and spoke.

"...Ah, I can't go with Sister Xiaowu, then never mind!"

Upon hearing Da Ming's words, Er Ming immediately drooped his head, no longer wanting to transform into human form.

While Daming and Erming were talking, Muge's figure was actually very close to them, without their noticing.

However, Mu Ge, who was inside the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, completely concealed his presence, so Da Ming and Er Ming could not detect him at all.

Finally, Muge even stood directly in front of Xiaowu, who was transforming, and quietly watched Xiaowu's transformation process.

"As expected, they chose to transform into human form!"

"Then I don't need to consider whether or not to kill you anymore; I'll make you my second martial soul!"

Looking at the churning red soul power before him, Mu Ge smiled gently.

It seems that it's not so easy for a 100,000-year-old soul beast to transform into human form, and it's not 100% guaranteed to succeed.

Mu Ge watched as the churning red soul power in front of him fluctuated unstablely several times, making Da Ming and Er Ming beside him extremely nervous.

Only Mu Ge knew that Xiao Wu would definitely be able to successfully transform into human form, so he watched calmly.

Time passed by, second by second.

Mu Ge originally thought it would be quick, but to his surprise, it took Xiao Wu three whole days to condense from a mass of energy into an embryo.

At this moment, Xiao Wu was still a mass of energy, only more concentrated, condensed into an embryo the size of a dinosaur egg.

"call……"

"Great! Sister Xiaowu finally succeeded! Now we just have to wait for her to come out!"

"I wonder what Xiao Wu will look like after transforming; she'll definitely be adorable!"

Seeing that Xiao Wu's embryonic form had taken shape, Er Ming let out a long sigh of relief and grinned.

"Okay, let's just keep waiting for Sister Xiaowu to transform!"

Da Ming's tone was also more relaxed at this moment.

hum-

However, just when they relaxed and let their guard down, Muge made her move.

Mu Ge appeared directly in front of Xiao Wu's embryo, and with a wave of his hand, Xiao Wu's transformed embryo landed in Mu Ge's hand. Furthermore, a beam of sea god's light was projected from Mu Ge's forehead, enveloping Xiao Wu's transformed embryo and preventing her from transforming further, thus maintaining the status quo.

"Who is it?"

"roar--"

"Damn it, hand over Sister Xiaowu..."

Only then did Da Ming and Er Ming realize what was happening, and they were both immediately enraged.

boom--

boom--

A terrifying pressure of soul power erupted from both Da Ming and Er Ming at the same time.

Da Ming and Er Ming were both shocked and furious. They never expected that someone would sneak in right under their noses and steal away Xiao Wu, who had transformed into an embryo.

"Slow-moving domain!"

Da Ming then immediately unleashed its innate domain, intending to first imprison Mu Ge in place, and then force Mu Ge to hand over Sister Xiao Wu.

"Gravity Zone!"

Erming followed closely behind, also unleashing its innate domain.

Under the slow-motion domain of Daming and the gravity domain of Erming, Muge instantly felt as if he were sinking into a quagmire, and at the same time, as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him, making it difficult for him to move.

"As expected of the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Ape, impressive!"

Feeling the suppression and confinement that Da Ming and Er Ming brought him, Mu Ge was not in a hurry. Instead, he was in the mood to appreciate Da Ming and Er Ming's abilities.

"Who are you?"

"Hand over Sister Xiaowu!"

Da Ming glared at Mu Ge and spoke in human language.

The reason was that they were afraid of killing Mu Ge while also hurting Xiao Wu. Otherwise, Da Ming would have already used a dragon tail swing to strike Mu Ge.

"roar--"

"roar--"

Erming was also roaring angrily beside her, seemingly saying something, but since it couldn't speak human language, Muge naturally didn't understand what it was saying.

However, judging from its tone, it's not hard to guess that it's threatening Muge to hand over Xiaowu.

"Sister Xiaowu? You mean it? Well, I'm sorry, it's very important to me, I can't return your Sister Xiaowu to you!"

While holding Xiao Wu's transformed embryo in one hand, Mu Ge looked up at Da Ming and refused.

"Human, are you looking for death?"

Upon hearing Mu Ge's words, Da Ming grew even angrier, and a fierce killing intent erupted in his eyes.

Erming was also roaring angrily from the side.

"You lot can't kill me!"

Mu Ge smiled faintly, reached out and beckoned, and the Trident of Poseidon appeared in Mu Ge's hand.

hum-

As soon as the Trident of Poseidon appeared in Mu Ge's hand, the Slow Domain and Gravity Domain that had been suppressing Mu Ge immediately lost most of their power.

"What is that?"

Upon seeing the Trident of Poseidon in the shepherd's hand, Da Ming's eyes narrowed slightly. It sensed an aura emanating from the Trident of Poseidon that made it wary.

"If you don't want anything to happen to your Little Dance sister, then get out of the way!"

With Mu Ge holding Xiao Wu's transformed embryo in his left hand and waving the Trident of the Sea God in his right, he spoke domineeringly to Da Ming and Er Ming.

Do you think it's possible?

"You're not leaving here today unless you let go of Sister Xiaowu!"

Upon hearing Mu Ge's words, Da Ming snorted angrily, showing no sign of backing down.

"If you don't move aside, I'll just kill her!"

"That's what Mu Ge said coldly."

If it weren't for the need to control the Light of the Sea God to suppress Xiao Wu's transformed embryo and prevent her from being stored in the storage space, Mu Ge would have already stored Xiao Wu away. In that case, he wouldn't have needed to say anything more to Da Ming and Er Ming; he could have just opened it directly.

However, he needed to control Xiao Wu's transformed embryo with one hand and couldn't use his full strength.

Under the suppression of Daming and Erming's domains, Muge, who could not go all out, would find it difficult to escape.

"You dare..."

"Human, if you dare to lay a hand on me, you're dead!"

Upon hearing Mu Ge's words, Da Ming immediately roared in anger.

"Roar roar roar—"

bang bang bang-

Erming, standing to the side, was also pounding his chest with both arms and roaring repeatedly.

"Human, put down Sister Xiaowu, or you won't be leaving here today!"

Da Ming suppressed his urge to take action, hoping only to persuade Mu Ge to let go of Sister Xiao Wu.

Mu Ge certainly wouldn't listen to Da Ming. If they missed the chance to obtain the embryonic form of a 100,000-year-old soul beast this time, it wouldn't be so easy next time. The situation seemed to be at a stalemate for a moment.

"I'm definitely taking your Little Dance Sister with me!"

"You're worried I'll kill your Little Wu, aren't you? I can assure you, as the inheritor of the Sea God's legacy, that I have no intention of killing her!"

In the end, Muge decided to explain, hoping to avoid taking action if possible.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for Mu Ge to continue controlling Xiao Wu with the Light of the Sea God.

He didn't know how long it would take for Xiao Wu to develop from an embryo!

"The successor of the Sea God?"

Upon hearing Mu Ge's words, Da Ming's eyes narrowed slightly again as he stared at Mu Ge in shock.

It never expected that Muge was actually the successor of the Sea God.

Looking at the trident of Poseidon in the Shepherd's Song again, Da Ming finally understood why the trident of Poseidon in the Shepherd's Song could intimidate him.

"What do you plan to do to Sister Xiaowu?"

After a moment of silence, Da Ming suppressed his anger and looked Mu Ge directly in the eyes to question him.

……

P.S.: The fact that the embryonic form of a 100,000-year-old soul beast can be absorbed to become a soul master's acquired martial soul is a setting from the original novel of Douluo Continent 2.
