Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 144 The First Soul
Leng Yaozhu tucked a strand of her red hair behind her ear, her fingertips brushing against the Fire Phoenix earrings, which shimmered slightly. She subtly adjusted her sitting position, allowing them more breathing space.

"Anything else?"

"Four Seasons Flower."

Gula had considered adding a spirit ring to Celebi, and now he was just stating the answer he had thought about.

"It is a rare herb with a short lifespan of only one year, but once it develops soul power, it will become a rare time-based soul beast."

"Teacher, is there a Four Seasons Flower Spirit in the Spirit Pagoda?"

Gula had not originally thought of the Four Seasons Flower. This legendary soul beast, a thousand-year-old soul beast, was rarer than a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, and the improvement it brought was not much.

But if it were a soul that could increase its lifespan, there wouldn't be so many concerns.

"You do know how to choose."

Leng Yaozhu maintained a lazy posture of leaning against the chair, with golden patterns flowing between her slender legs, but she couldn't help but lean forward a little.

"The Spirit Pagoda has been passed down for ten thousand years, and the headquarters does have two Four Seasons Flower Spirits."

Gula's pupils suddenly contracted, and a hint of intention flashed in his eyes.

This detail did not escape Leng Yaozhu's eyes. She looked at her disciple's instantly straightened back with satisfaction, and continued in that nonchalant tone: "But in my opinion..."

The jade finger suddenly touched the boy's brow, and the cold touch made him tremble with gratitude, "This is not the soul most worthy of my disciple."

Gula was really confused now. He wondered if he had missed something, so he asked, "Teacher, please enlighten me."

After teasing the disciple for a moment, Leng Yaozhu said in a light tone: "I thought you knew everything. Let me ask you, what is the origin of the plants on the continent?"

The origin of plants?
Of course it’s the Ancient Tree of Life. Does the Spirit Pagoda have this?

Gula was the first one who didn't believe it. A complete ancient tree of life was a God-King-level life form, and the Spirit Tower was not qualified to control it.

His bright eyes flashed with doubt, and with an indifferent look, in Leng Yaozhu's eyes, it was full of contrasting cuteness. "I don't know, it's not in the books I've read. Teacher, what is the answer?"

Leng Yaozhu looked at Gula and sighed inwardly. Her disciple was as talented as Yun Ming, and even his appearance was not inferior to his. But in the future he would become a "troublemaker" who was a playboy.

She was in a state of mixed emotions, but kept the mystery to herself: "The origin of plants is the legendary ancient tree of life. It was from this tree that countless plant species were born."

"Among them, the plants below the Ancient Tree of Life are called the Ancient Golden Tree. The famous Shrek Academy on the continent was built around an Ancient Golden Tree."

"The soul I want to take you to see is a soul created by extracting genes from the branches and leaves of an ancient golden tree that I traded for three hundred thousand year old soul bones."

"Golden Ancient Tree Spirit!?"

Gula was stunned for a moment. She never expected Leng Yaoju to give her such a big surprise.

Seeing him so surprised, Leng Yaozhu poured a bucket of cold water on him: "Don't be too happy too soon. Creating the golden ancient tree spirit has consumed a lot of resources of the Spirit Pagoda, resulting in a lack of top-level spirits for plant-type spirit masters in the past five hundred years."

If the Leng family was not a major faction in the Spirit Pagoda, no Extreme Douluo would be qualified to take away the soul of the ancient golden tree.

Leng Yaozhu didn't say it out loud, and continued, "The golden ancient tree we created did not disappoint. As soon as it was born, it showed the ability to suppress all plant spirits. According to research, it is speculated that the golden ancient tree spirit will evolve different abilities depending on the fusion soul master."

"Only in this way can it be adapted to your multi-attribute plant martial spirit."

Gula asked, satisfying Leng Yaozhu, who had just become a teacher and was eager to teach others: "Teacher, is there anyone else who wants to merge with the Golden Ancient Tree Spirit?" Leng Yaozhu smiled with a teachable smile: "Indeed, there are, but the Golden Ancient Tree Spirit has wisdom. It is impossible to force a fusion with a soul master who is not recognized by it."

"There are many such souls. In the Spirit Pagoda, they are called Unyielding Souls."

"arrive."

Leng Yaozhu's cold voice rang out in the cabin, and the black mecha suddenly penetrated the lead-gray clouds. The dark blue tail flame emitted by the turbo soul engine tore a crack in the clouds.

The thirteen-story Spirit Transmission Tower below was like a prismatic crystal inserted into the earth, with bright silver soul guide runes flowing on its surface. The infrared grid of the observation platform on the top of the tower swept across the surface of the mecha, and the built-in signal device made a crisp "ticking" sound.

The mecha hovered three meters away from the platform. Leng Yaozhu grabbed Gula's collar with one hand and jumped down. His cloak embroidered with a golden phoenix pattern fluttered.

When her boot heels hit the alloy ground, the twelve soul guide turrets hidden in the dark had just finished charging and were quietly retracted into the protective shield.

"stay close."

Leng Yaozhu touched the jade pendant on her waist with her fingertips, and two jade plates with red light floated up, opening a gap in the thirty-six soul power barriers along the way, leaving only enough space for one person to pass through.

Gula could sense that there were many soul-guided surveillance cameras hidden in the dark, much like the compound eyes of a poisonous spider, waiting for prey to fall into the trap.

I sighed in my heart: The security is very strict and full of technology, which is not inferior to the top technology in the Pokémon world.

The moment the elevator door opened silently on the 79th floor, a middle-aged man in a dark-patterned Tang suit was already blocking the center of the aisle.

The Qiangu family emblem on his chest reflected a cold light. He bowed slightly and said, "Deputy Tower Master Leng, the Tower Master already knows your request, but the Golden Ancient Tree is a soul that the Spirit Pagoda spent a great deal of money to create. I can't let you take it away with just a word."

"Let Qiangu Dongfeng tell me this himself!"

Leng Yaozhu's suddenly raised voice exploded in the corridor, and the soul guide light suspended on the ceiling dimmed for a moment.

Gula saw the middle-aged man's Adam's apple roll violently twice, and the green soul power that originally lingered around him was forcibly pressed back into his body. He retreated seven steps until his back hit the smooth metal wall.

Leng Yaozhu snorted in dissatisfaction. Qiangu Dongfeng really regarded the Soul Communication Tower as the one-man show of his Qiangu family. He just called someone to pass on the message, but forgot that he had recently blocked Qiangu Dongfeng's soul guide communicator.

She walked over with Gula, and the middle-aged man was pale and did not dare to stop them.

The two walked into the secret room where the souls were sealed.

When the door of the secret room opened, the surging soul power tide caused a strong wind, and hundreds of golden threads condensed from soul power fell from the dome that was a hundred meters high. At the end of each golden thread was a sleeping soul ball.

In the deepest part of the secret room, the roots of the ancient golden tree were deeply embedded in a base made of special crystal material, and the liquid golden light flowing on the leaves cast a golden glow on Leng Yaozhu's profile.

"This is the Ancient Golden Tree. Go and try to touch it. Don't be afraid of failure. If you fail this time, try again next time."

Regardless of whether Gula succeeded or not, she would take the Golden Ancient Tree Soul away and let Gula try again. Of course, it would be best if she could take it away the first time.

The middle-aged man entered the room and looked at Gula from a distance.

He didn't think that a child could gain the recognition of the Ancient Golden Tree. What some Titled Douluo with twin martial souls couldn't do in the past, a child definitely couldn't do either.

It is estimated that Tianfeng Douluo came to see his compatibility with the golden ancient tree and make plans for the future.

After comforting himself in this way, the middle-aged man felt much better. He changed his mindset and prepared to see the expressions of the Tianfeng Douluo disciples when they failed.
