Reincarnated Rock Prince, you're saying this is Douluo Continent?

Chapter 90: Fusion of the Golden Tortoiseshell!
"If you still have any questions about the integration process, please feel free to ask, and I will answer them one by one."

"If there are no problems, then we can officially begin the fusion of souls."

Zhongli stood on the stage with his hands behind his back, his face expressionless, his amber eyes scanning the room.

Although he did not release any pressure or the aura of a superior, his mere presence exuded the aura of a powerful figure.

This face, this tone of voice, this speed of speech—he's definitely not an ordinary person!
When the Traveler first arrived in Liyue and met Zhongli, he felt that this person was not simple, as if he were a candidate for the Geo Archon or a celestial being.

Zhongli could conceal his identity, but his long-standing habits and behaviors made him prone to making mistakes when he disguised himself as an ordinary person.

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances and shook their heads.

The God of War has explained it very clearly, and he has even repeated the precautions twice. How could he not remember it?

"no problem!"

The crowd responded in unison.

At this moment, Beibei was extremely excited, because his first soul spirit was at the 100,000-year level!

Furthermore, after fusing with the golden tortoiseshell, it is very likely that the trace of golden holy dragon bloodline within him will be activated, at which point his foundation will be even stronger!

"Hmm~"

Zhongli nodded, pondered for a moment, and then continued, "Beibei, Golden Tortoiseshell, calm yourselves down a bit, and then stand in the center of the platform."

Without any hesitation, Beibei and the golden hawksbill turtle quickly arrived at the center of the platform.

As a ferocious beast of the 200,000-year level, the golden hawksbill turtle is quite large, but fortunately the platform is spacious enough to accommodate its body.

Of course, no matter how large the golden hawksbill turtle is, it is still just a small karami in front of the Naga King Ratna.

"Lord Martial God, I am ready."

"Lord Martial God, I am also ready."

Beibei and the golden hawksbill turtle spoke one after the other, the latter looking relieved, finally free.

It deeply regrets it; if it hadn't been greedy and wanted to gain more life energy, it wouldn't have gone down this path.

Di Tian said that the Gold of Life was a gift from the Star Dou Great Forest to the God of War. It seems that the Lord has forgiven it.

If we don't forgive it, it might not even be able to become a spirit...

"Before we merge, please make a vow."

"Beibei, you need to swear an oath with your martial spirit that you will treat the golden tortoise shell well and regard it as your partner."

"Golden Tortoiseshell, you must swear by your soul that you will not help Beibei do evil, and will do your best to help Beibei grow."

The current soul system has a major bug: after a human dies, the soul can reach the "soul" dimension, thus escaping true death.

If a spirit intentionally tries to trick its host and escape to the "spirit" dimension, it will cause a very serious crisis of trust.

The hard-won thaw in the relationship between humans and spirit beasts can crumble in an instant.

In the Douluo Continent, Soul Masters and Soul Beasts value oaths highly, and even Evil Soul Masters will abide by their oaths.

This can be considered a form of constraint.

Although Beibei and the golden tortoiseshell were puzzled, they still made a vow as Zhongli had instructed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhongli nodded in satisfaction.

"Next, the formal integration will begin!"

With a wave of his right hand, Zhongli created an amber-colored contract array at the feet of Beibei and the golden tortoiseshell. As the array appeared, the two seemed to be enveloped in golden light.

"This is an equal contract, which requires both of you to sign with your blood. Once the contract is signed, the two of you will become partners who share weal and woe." Beibei and the golden tortoiseshell exchanged a glance, and without any hesitation, each forced out a drop of blood, which fell onto the magic circle.

As the blood dripped, the contract array erupted with a dazzling light once more, turning the sky golden.

At this moment, the golden tortoiseshell's body seemed to be burning, which was very similar to the scene of a soul beast sacrifice.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the golden tortoiseshell completely disappeared, and Beibei transformed into a spirit possessed form.

A red spirit ring with two lines rose rapidly from beneath his feet, while the other three spirit rings—two yellow and one purple— paled in comparison to this red one.

A golden light flashed across Beibei's torso.

Zhongli, however, knew that this was the soul bone of a two-hundred-thousand-year-old golden tortoise shell!
As the golden tortoiseshell spirit ring and spirit bone merged into him, the golden light emanating from Bei Bei grew even stronger, and his hair also turned golden yellow.

Unlike Huo Yuhao's fusion with a soul spirit in the original timeline, Bei Bei's soul power increased significantly after fusing with a soul spirit!
At that time, Huo Yuhao's meridians could not withstand the impact of soul power, and a large amount of soul power was sealed, so he did not absorb much of it himself.

You should know that when Tang San was level 60, he absorbed Xiao Wu's spirit ring and spirit bone, and directly broke through to level 68!

This is a leap of eight levels from the Soul Emperor stage!
The golden tortoiseshell is far superior to Xiao Wu's in both age and quality!
Bei Bei isn't a Soul Emperor; he's just a Quasi-Soul Master. Absorbing the energy of the Golden Tortoiseshell naturally increased his strength even more!
Level 41, Level 42... Level 47... Level 49...

There's always a story behind every Soul Power Card!

Beibei's soul power paused at level 49, and then broke through the level 50 mark!

To everyone's surprise, just as Bei Bei broke through to level 50, another red soul ring with two patterns slowly rose from beneath his feet!

"It's true, the Soul Spirit... the Soul Spirit really can provide multiple Soul Rings for a Soul Master to break through!"

"My God, two 100,000-year spirit rings..."

People today do not know the difference between a 100,000-year spirit ring and a ferocious beast spirit ring.

A normal 100,000-year soul ring only has one red line.

Every 100,000 years, one more line appears on the soul ring.

As for why Xue Di's spirit rings are orange, perhaps she's special...

The orange one represents a ferocious beast's soul ring, the exact age of which is unknown.

"This golden tortoise shell might be able to provide Bei Bei with four 100,000-year spirit rings. Then, Bei Bei will be able to possess a 100,000-year-level martial spirit true body!"

"Envy? What else can I say but envy?"

"Why, why am I still five levels away from breaking through?!"

"A soul! I want a soul too!!"

Having witnessed the unique nature of spirits firsthand, the spirit masters became even more ardent towards them.

Beibei is in the sea of ​​consciousness.

The golden tortoiseshell sighed and said, "Kid, you've hit the jackpot!"

"Ugh?"

"I'm not some 100,000-year-old soul beast, but a 200,000-year-old ferocious beast. Do you understand what a ferocious beast is?"

Upon hearing this, Beibei was shocked, her eyes widening in disbelief.

This golden hawksbill turtle is actually a ferocious beast?!

"As long as our race doesn't perish along the way, becoming a ferocious beast is a certainty, something other races can't match."
