Elsewhere, after two days of searching the Star Dou Great Forest, the grandfather and grandson finally found a soul beast suitable for a first soul ring.
Golden-Armored Thunder Tiger!
A tiger's head, a snake's body, eagle's claws, its body gleaming with lightning. It's four and a half meters long and two meters tall.
"A Golden-Armored Thunder Tiger about 800 years old. Okay, that's it."
This soul beast's dragon blood is of the highest purity, making it more suitable than the 600-year-old dragon python encountered yesterday.
"Ouch!"
The Golden-Armored Thunder Tiger noticed the two men in the tree. Yu Yuanzhen's Super Douluo aura filled it with fear.
"Bang!"
Yu Yuanzhen leaped to his feet, a bolt of lightning condensing from his palm. With a single blow, he struck the Golden Armored Thunder Tiger, nearly succumbing to the force.
Yu Tianming followed suit, leaping to the Golden Armored Thunder Tiger's side. Showing no mercy, he decisively summoned his second spirit, the Dragon Sword, and with a single blow, he ended the Golden Armored Thunder Tiger's life.
According to Yu Yuanzhen's instructions, he chose to cultivate the Thunder Flame Dragon Emperor spirit first. Once his first spirit reached Titled Douluo status, his second spirit would have a starting spirit ring of 100,000 years.
The thought of his second spirit unleashing nine 100,000-year spirit rings was thrilling.
Sitting cross-legged in front of the spirit rings, Yu Tianming slowly absorbed them, trusting his grandfather's judgment.
Compared to the "theoretically invincible" Master Yu, Yu Yuanzhen, the Super Douluo grandfather, was far more trustworthy.
Thinking of Tang San's journey, the "theoretically invincible" Master Yu played a negligible role; his only assistance was his vast theoretical knowledge. Tang San's early training relied on cheats from his previous life, his middle training relied on his father, Tang Hao, and his later training was a meteoric rise, aided by the Sea God.
Thinking about it, it seems that the God King Tang had lived for so many years without achieving anything. Nothing he possessed was his own. I heard he was still using the Mysterious Heavenly Art after traveling to another continent.
"Hmm..."
Dragon-type soul beasts were more powerful than ordinary soul beasts. Yu Tianming endured the excruciating pain and continued to absorb.
With a soul ring under ten thousand years old, it's not impossible for the first soul ring to exceed a thousand years, provided the body is strong enough.
Of course, with Yu Tianming's six-year-old frame, 800 was almost the limit.
Another hour passed, and Yu Tianming's small frame seemed to have grown taller, from less than one meter to one meter and one meter. The yellow floating in the air was completely absorbed.
"Martial Spirit, possess!"
"Ah!"
A dragon roar echoed, and Yu Tianming's short body suddenly soared. His chest muscles bulged, his limbs thickened, and he reached a height of 1.6 meters. His long golden hair fluttered, faint flashes of lightning visible between the strands. His eyes were one blue and one red, and his entire body was radiating a red aura.
"Thunder Prison: Infinite Universe!"
Boom!
Yu Tianming stretched his hands out to his sides, and the ten-meter radius instantly transformed into a thunder prison.
"Tear!" He actually managed to make this old man feel uncomfortable. He's truly a demon.
The lightning in the void caused no damage to Yu Yuanzhen. He guessed it was a domain-type soul skill.
"Grandpa, my first soul skill weakens the opponent by 10% in full strength, while increasing my own strength and speed by 50%. It also accelerates soul recovery within the thunder prison."
Yu Tianming clenched his fists, feeling the surging soul power within him.
"It's a domain-type soul skill, indeed. Well done, you're worthy of being Grandpa's grandson. Rest up and I'll take you to find your second soul ring."
After absorbing his first soul ring, Yu Tianming's soul power remained at level 20. To break through to level 20, he needed a second soul ring. This world is quite hostile to soul beasts. Perhaps, due to the death of the Dragon God, the human gods feared the emergence of another Dragon God, thus changing the laws of Douluo Continent.
Yu Yuanzhen had high expectations for his grandson's second soul ring, requiring it to be no less than 1,100 years old. The average soul master's second soul ring was under 800 years old, and Yu Tianming's first was nearly 800 years old, so he could definitely absorb a second soul ring over a thousand years old.
Master Yu's "theoretical invincibility" was useless against Yu Tianming. As a Super Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen's grandson's talent far surpassed his own, so he hoped that every step he took would reach the limit, or even exceed it.
With such talent, one should push boundaries that ordinary people wouldn't dare to imagine.
Finding a dragon-seed soul beast suitable for Yu Tianming was incredibly difficult. Yu Yuanzhen's standards were extremely high, and he would discard any beast with even the slightest flaw.
So, the grandfather and grandson wandered around the Star Dou Great Forest for half a month, searching until they reached the edge of the forest's core area.
Hiss~
"Grandpa, listen."
Yu Tianming, his hand tightly held by Yu Yuanzhen, turned and looked to the left.
"Yes, you haven't forgotten what Grandpa taught you these days. Remember, whether in a soul beast gathering place or in human society, you must remain vigilant and always pay attention to your surroundings. There's no shortage of geniuses in the world, but only those who mature are worthy of being called geniuses."
"Rumor has it there are 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. The soul beasts here are all over a thousand years old. Look closely, it's a Flame Giant Lizard. Your Thunder Flame Dragon Emperor possesses both lightning and fire attributes, so it's a waste to focus solely on lightning. This Flame Giant Lizard's dragon bloodline is decent, so take it."
The Super Douluo's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon can only be described in two words: ferocious. Yu Yuanzhen's every move was filled with the aesthetic of violence, and the Flame Giant Lizard was slammed down with a punch.
Yu Tianming obediently summoned his Dragon Sword to finish off the attack. The soul ring was about 1200 years old. With the experience of the first time, absorbing the soul ring went much more smoothly the second time.
"Tsk, the second soul ring is a thousand-year-old."
Yu Yuanzhen released his aura, dispelling the surrounding soul beasts. He envied his grandson's talent so much that he couldn't help but envy him.
An average person's third soul ring is only between 1,000 and 1,700 years old. Yu Tianming's second soul ring might be over 5,000 years old. Then the fourth soul ring... wouldn't it be ten thousand years old?
Tear!
Yu Yuanzhen's face flushed at the thought. A fourth soul ring of ten thousand years old—unprecedented.
At this moment, Yu Tianming's soul power surged rapidly, reaching level 21, then level 22, and finally level 27.
A six-year-old, level 27 Great Soul Master, Yu Yuanzhen was overjoyed.
