Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 88: Brother Kong is still not detailed enough

"This one won't do. It's a bit old."

"This one won't work either. I feel like Coco can't absorb it..."

Kong casually looked at the Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Beast crawling on the ground and kept shaking his head.

The soul beasts, not knowing what this human was going to do, could only curl up on the ground and tremble.

They don't understand that they seem to have escaped a disaster, but they subconsciously think that they cannot beat the human in front of them, and that he is an individual who can threaten their lives.

Out of instinct, when faced with a powerful life form that they cannot resist, they can only show this look of being at the mercy of others.

This does not mean that they are pitiful and should not be treated like this.

You must know that in the Douluo Continent, the relationship between soul beasts and humans has become an irreconcilable hostility since the very beginning.

Soul beasts are all wild beasts before they are born with intelligence. Most of them act based on their wild instincts, and the law of the jungle is fully demonstrated in them.

Whether it is towards humans or other soul beasts, in the field of natural selection, they will not have any feelings or the like.

Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp.

In their minds, humans are just a dish in the food chain.

When they invade civilian residences, they will not let go just because the person in front of them is a child, nor will they avoid hurting you just because you have no soul power.

The same is true for humans.

The advancement of the soul master system in this world must rely on hunting soul beasts to obtain soul rings.

This is a one-sided relationship of demand. When a soul beast's life is threatened, it will inevitably resist according to its nature.

The relationship between humans and soul beasts is more about interests and survival.

It’s just like ordinary humans need to take in nutrients for body development and function maintenance. Would they not eat chickens and ducks just because they are weak?
The same is true in reverse. In a situation like today, if they were not strong enough, everyone would have been torn to pieces by the claws of these soul beasts.

Therefore, Kong did not think it was wrong to arbitrarily decide the life and death of soul beasts by relying on his strong strength.

"This one's probably about eight or nine hundred years old. Maybe let Coco try it?"

Kong picked up a larger rabbit, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided to let Coco try it.

Generally speaking, the age of the first soul ring absorbed by a soul master cannot be too high, and usually less than four hundred years is more appropriate.

This is because soul masters have just started practicing, and their physical and mental endurance are limited.

If one rashly absorbs a spirit ring that is too old, and if the body cannot withstand it, it may cause serious harm to the spirit master himself.

Of course, this is just based on the theory of Douluo's general soul masters after absorbing the first soul ring.

For Yu Keke, whose physique has been improved by elemental power, theoretically, there is no limit to the number of years she can absorb soul rings as long as her mental power is strong enough.

That's why Kong chose a soul beast that was about eight or nine hundred years old as the first soul ring for this little girl.

Don't look at this little girl who looks like a bullied person, but she has experienced life and death at such a young age.

The spiritual power he gained was even more powerful than Kong had imagined.

Kongti carried the selected soul beast and took the two of them to find a two thousand year old Swift Leopard soul beast among the beasts.

This was the target for the second soul ring that Wang Wan had suggested earlier.

"Okay, let's all go. It's getting too boring to be gathered here."

Kong stepped on the Gale Leopard with one foot and held the Soft Bone Rabbit in one hand. He looked at Paimon who kept covering his nose and smiled helplessly.

These soul beasts are all animals. All they do every day is kill and forage and sleep. You can imagine how their bodies smell.

It would be fine if there were only one or two of them, but when there were hundreds of them gathered together, and the three of them were among them, it was normal for the air to be filled with a fishy smell.

As Kong restrained his aura, each of these soul beasts, as imposing as they were when they arrived, were as embarrassed as they left. They didn't dare to make any big noises, and each of them flexed their limbs and quickly retreated.

Only when they reached a safer distance did they turn around and run away.

"Keke, are you ready? It's time to start absorbing the spirit ring."

Kong touched Yu Keke's head and said with some concern.

"Yeah! I'm ready!"

Yu Keke nodded heavily. Although there was a hint of nervousness in her watery eyes, there was more of a determined look that longed for power.

"Here, here you go. Go there and absorb it. Paimon and I will be right there with you."

Kong exerted a little force, and the rabbit in his hand was already dying, waiting for Yu Keke's final kill.

Yu Keke took the soul beast that Kong handed over, picked it up and walked to the open space beside it, throwing it on the ground.
He activated his martial soul, raised his little hand to gather the little soul power he had, and punched the soul beast.

Buzz~.

As the soul beast under his command died, a soul ring floated out of its body, but the color of the soul ring had almost turned light purple.

The soul power assessment is still not detailed enough...

Kong looked at the soul ring floating in the air. He originally estimated that it was eight or nine hundred years old, but now looking at the quality of the soul ring,

This soul beast has clearly entered the ranks of thousand-year-old soul beasts.

Although we have just entered, there is still a huge difference between a thousand years and a hundred years.

This difference is mostly reflected in soul masters who absorb soul rings.

This soul master may be able to absorb a soul ring that is 900 years old, but when faced with a soul ring that is 1,000 years old, the difficulty is directly increased by several levels, and the potential danger is also much higher.

"Keke, how about we choose a new one? I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to absorb this spirit ring."

Kong was thinking of this, so he reminded Yu Keke.

"Hmm~Brother, I want to try..."

Yu Keke, who had always been obedient, lowered her head and thought for a while, then looked at Kong expectantly.

She could feel the huge amount of energy overflowing from the spirit ring in front of her, and she longed for this power.

And for some reason, she had an inexplicable confidence that she could absorb this spirit ring.

"Come on, Coco!"

Paimon raised her little fist and stood next to Kong to cheer for Yu Keke. She saw the look in Yu Keke's eyes and felt that Keke was a very strong little girl and she could definitely do it!

"great, good luck!"

Kong smiled and shook his head, not trying to dissuade him any further.

Okay, since Paimon has such confidence in you, I have to support you even more~
"Uh-huh!"

After receiving encouragement from the two, Yu Keke sat down with her legs crossed, trying to adjust her mentality and spirit.

After a while, the energy fluctuations on the soul ring gradually calmed down and were no longer so agitated.
Yu Keke turned around to look at Kong and Paimeng, then immediately activated her soul power and reached out towards the soul ring, trying to establish a connection with it.

As time went by, two or three hours had passed unknowingly. During this time, Kong and Paimon were chatting casually on the side.

The soul ring in front of Yu Keke had disappeared. Beads of sweat ran down her forehead and cheeks, dripping onto the ground and breaking into several pieces.

Looking at her painful appearance, it seems that it is no easier for her than for Shui Yue'er who is not far away to absorb the third soul ring.
