The First Spirit
"Who wants to be the first person to obtain a Spirit?"
Yuhao looked around at the people present and spoke loudly.
"I'll go!"
A pretty girl about fifteen or sixteen years old was the first to step forward.
"My martial soul is Hair. I am a control-type soul master. My soul power has already reached Rank 40."
Hair is also considered a Body Sect martial soul, though it belongs to a relatively lower tier among body-type martial souls.
However, the girl in front of him looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, yet she had already reached Rank 40. This alone proved that her talent was quite outstanding.
Yuhao turned to look at Di Tian.
Di Tian naturally understood Yuhao's meaning and immediately said to one of the thousand-year soul beasts:
"You will do."
The soul beast that stepped forward was a Datura Snake, with a cultivation of about three thousand years.
Among thousand-year Datura Snakes, it could already be considered a leader, and the poison and control abilities it possessed were extremely strong.
It was undoubtedly very suitable for this girl with a Hair martial soul.
When she saw the Datura Snake stepping forward, the girl's eyes flashed with excitement.
The reason she had stepped forward first was naturally because she had already thought things through.
Although many soul beasts were present, only two or three were truly suitable for her.
If someone else contracted them first, she would regret it endlessly.
And the three-thousand-year Datura Snake before her was undoubtedly the most suitable choice.
When the others saw this scene, their expressions showed regret, and they began murmuring:
"Ah, Xu Lili got ahead of us."
"I also wanted that Datura Snake."
"What a pity."
...
The girl named Xu Lili glanced proudly at her companions behind her, then turned back to Yuhao and said softly:
"Young Master, I'll leave it to you."
Although Xu Lili had never interacted directly with Yuhao before, she knew very well who he was.
So when facing him, her attitude was extremely respectful.
Yuhao smiled faintly and said gently:
"Relax later, don't be nervous. Just leave everything to me."
"Yes, Young Master."
Standing so close to Yuhao, Xu Lili's cheeks flushed slightly.
After comforting Xu Lili, Yuhao walked over to the Datura Snake again, gently placing his palm on its head while releasing a trace of the Golden Dragon King's aura.
"Hiss!"
Sensing the supreme aura of a top-tier soul beast bloodline, the Datura Snake immediately trembled and lowered its body, not daring to move.
Seeing this, Yuhao quickly withdrew the Golden Dragon King aura and said calmly:
"Once the ceremony begins, you must trust me completely. I will grant you a new life."
Yuhao could sense that although the Datura Snake was powerful, it had already reached the later stage of its lifespan and would struggle to survive its next evolution.
Becoming a Spirit was its only path forward.
After hearing Yuhao's words, the Datura Snake nodded slightly, expressing its agreement.
As a three-thousand-year soul beast, its intelligence was already not low.
Naturally, it understood its situation.
"Come closer."
Yuhao brought Xu Lili and the Datura Snake together and continued:
"In addition to trusting me, the two of you must also trust each other and accept each other from the bottom of your hearts. Only then can the contract be perfectly successful."
Hearing Yuhao's words, Xu Lili nodded, and the Datura Snake hissed softly.
The girl and the snake looked into each other's eyes, as if silently reaching an understanding.
"Let's begin."
Xu Lili released her martial soul.
Her originally shoulder-length hair began to grow rapidly, extending to five or six meters in just a few breaths.
A faint glow emitted from the strands, making them appear both flexible and extremely tough.
At the same time, three soul rings—two yellow and one purple—rose around her body.
On the other side, Yuhao began by helping the Datura Snake condense its spiritual imprint.
During this process, he also integrated the Datura Snake's innate abilities into the imprint.
For Yuhao now, this was not difficult at all.
After all, back in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he had already successfully helped several ten-thousand-year plant-type soul beasts condense their spiritual imprints.
Compared to that, a three-thousand-year Datura Snake was naturally much easier.
After only a short while, the Datura Snake successfully condensed its spiritual imprint, and its abilities were completely integrated.
Seeing this, Yuhao began chanting the incantation for the Spirit contract.
Mysterious syllables flowed from his mouth, and under the guidance of his spiritual power, they transformed into radiant symbols.
A six-pointed star formation appeared beneath Yuhao, Xu Lili, and the Datura Snake.
This was the Spirit contract formation.
However, unlike the contracts Yuhao had formed with the Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and others, this was an equal contract.
Even after becoming a Spirit, the Datura Snake would retain a high degree of autonomy.
Yuhao was not only the Young Master of the Body Sect, but also recognized by the soul beasts and destined to stand at the peak.
Under Yuhao's guidance, Xu Lili stretched out her right hand and gently placed it on the Datura Snake's head.
In an instant, the six-pointed star formation burst into brilliant light, enveloping all three figures.
Under the influence of the contract, the Datura Snake's body gradually dissolved, transforming into a stream of pink light that flowed into Xu Lili's body.
At the same time, a purple soul ring—larger and more radiant than ordinary thousand-year rings—appeared around her.
Seeing this, everyone, including Du BuSi, held their breath.
This was their first time witnessing a Spirit contract.
Any mistake could lead to serious consequences.
Fortunately, no accident occurred.
After two or three breaths, Xu Lili stabilized the fluctuations within her body and slowly opened her eyes.
A joyful smile spread across her face.
"How is it?"
One of her teachers asked cautiously.
Instead of answering directly, Xu Lili circulated her soul power, causing her newly formed fourth soul ring to light up.
In the next moment, a pink figure shot out from her arm and landed on the ground.
"Hiss!"
A familiar hissing sound rang out.
It was the Datura Snake—now her Spirit.
Compared to before, its body appeared slightly translucent, with faint soul power drifting around it.
Aside from that, there was almost no difference.
"Manman, come here."
Xu Lili had already given her Spirit a name.
With a wave of her hand, the Datura Snake flew back to her, circling around her body before finally resting on her shoulder.
Its forked tongue gently brushed her cheek, making Xu Lili laugh happily.
Anyone could see the closeness and tacit understanding between them.
Whoa!
A wave of exclamations erupted from the crowd.
"Success! It really worked!"
"I didn't expect the Datura Snake to look so cute as a Spirit. I'm so jealous."
"With this Spirit, Xu Lili's strength will definitely increase greatly."
