Douluo Dragon King: I, the wielder of the Holy Sword, will vanquish all evil.

Chapter 3 Unyielding Soul
"Come on, your uncle will take you to choose a spirit."

The serious atmosphere dissipated, and Su Wuyan chuckled happily.

"With your current mental strength and physical strength, Xiao Qiu, you'll be fine even if you absorb the first soul spirit that has been around for a thousand years."

"A thousand-year-old soul?"

In the present era, absorbing soul spirits does not require as much physical strength from a soul master as before; it mainly depends on mental strength.

The levels of spiritual power are divided into the Spiritual Origin Realm, Spiritual Connection Realm, Spiritual Sea Realm, Spiritual Abyss Realm, Spiritual Domain Realm, and the Divine Origin Realm, which reaches the level of a god.

333's spiritual power has far surpassed the Spirit Origin Realm, placing him at the Spirit Connection Realm. This is enough for Su Qiu to absorb a thousand-year-old soul.

As soon as the two stepped out of the Awakening Room, a Spirit Master rushed towards them, asking hesitantly, "Your Majesty Dragon Sparrow, may I ask what the pillar of light we just saw was?"

Dragon Sparrow is Su Wuyan's title.

"Oh, I just made a breakthrough, it's nothing serious." Su Wuyan waved his hand, accompanied by a cheerful smile, making it seem quite convincing.

"Phew, sorry to bother Your Majesty." The spirit medium breathed a sigh of relief; he had thought something terrible had happened. It turned out the commotion was caused by the tower master, which made no difference. He didn't connect it to the awakening of martial spirits, since such an anomaly had never occurred during martial spirit awakenings in all these years.

"It's alright, go ahead and get busy."

After the spirit medium left, Su Wuyan turned around with a smile, "Xiao Qiu, you don't blame me for stealing your thunder, do you?"

"Whatever makes you happy." Su Qiu said indifferently.

"Actually, I'm doing this for your own good. It's not a good thing for a tree to stand out in the forest." He said calmly, "It would be even worse if word got to the Tower Master's ears."

"You mean the eternal east wind?"

The only one who could be called Tower Master by Su Wuyan, the branch Tower Master, was Qian Gu Dongfeng.

“That’s right, Qian Gu Dong Feng is no good.” Su Wuyan narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone unfriendly: “A genius with some talent is fine, but if someone is too talented, he will be wary of them. They will either become his dog or be suppressed by him.”

"They also infiltrate various departments and vie for power."

Su Wuyan let out a sneer: "Heh, he thinks he's so cunning, treating us like fools."

"Little did we know that we were just too lazy to fight him. Alas, the Spirit Pagoda will be destroyed by him sooner or later."

“That’s true,” Su Qiu agreed. He had forgotten some details from the original story, but he still had some impression of the character Qian Gu Dong Feng, who was definitely not a good person.

"Let's go, today your uncle is in charge, you can choose any soul in this tower!"

Su Wuyan didn't mention one more thing: because he had paid extra attention to the matter of evil soul masters in the past two years, he noticed something was amiss. The Spirit Pagoda's crackdown on evil soul masters had recently weakened.

Although there were policies within the company that offered a reasonable explanation for this, he still had a bad feeling.

Along the way, Su Qiu silently pondered which soul spirit to choose.

For Soul Masters, the choice of Soul Spirit is of paramount importance; a single wrong step could sow the seeds of future failure.

However, for Su Qiu, the soul might not be as important as he imagined.

He could sense that his Holy Sword and Holy Lance martial spirits didn't have a strong need for soul skills. They were equipped with their own treasure release abilities.

His strongest attack is the release of his Noble Phantasm, and its power is linked to his soul power cultivation and the degree of release of the Thirteen Restraints.

So as long as he doesn't get stuck at a certain level, his soul skills can only determine his minimum potential.

Feeling the two martial souls, Su Qiu hesitated between the Sword of Oath of Victory and the Spear of Shining at the End, unsure which to cultivate first.

The Holy Sword has thirteen constraints.

The Holy Lance also exists, and its restraints are still imitations of the Holy Sword, also having thirteen lines.

"Let's train Excalibur first."

Although the Holy Sword and the Holy Lance are of the same rank, their power differs.

Regardless, the Holy Sword is specifically designed to destroy enemies. The Holy Lance's role is more about anchoring the world, and its offensive power is certainly inferior. "Then the choice of the soul is quite simple."

Su Qiu made a decision to try to select spirits that could amplify her spirit skills.

If flashy attack skills cannot increase his potential, then the first choice is to use amplification skills to enhance his own stats.

After enhancing his physical stats, Su Qiu only needed to be a good support for the Holy Sword, and leave the rest to the Holy Sword.

We arrived at a special room made of pure white metal.

Opening the screen, Su Wuyan searched for one soul after another.

"Xiao Qiu, which martial soul do you plan to cultivate first?"

"Holy Sword."

"That sword?" After a short while, Su Wuyan chose a soul.

It was a wolf-like spirit beast, its fur a bluish-purple base color with intricate, dazzling patterns interspersed throughout, the patterns glowing slightly like twinkling starlight.

"A Starshine Wolf that is 1,100 years old. It is an extremely powerful light attribute soul beast. Its powerful hunting talent has even made it abandon the wolf's habit of living in packs and live alone."

Upon hearing her uncle's introduction, Su Qiu asked, "Could you give me an amplification-type soul skill?"

"Highly unlikely."

"Don't don't."

It had changed to a different soul beast, with white scales covering its entire body like armor. Its massive body trembled with the slightest movement, clearly indicating that it was a mountain dragon-type soul beast.

"White Armor Mountain Dragon, with 1,500 years of cultivation."

"Dragons?" Before the other person could finish speaking, Su Qiu shook her head repeatedly: "No, no."

"Then let's look at this one, the Titan Giant Ape, a top performer in the power aspect of the Soul Beast world, with both offense and defense, it is extremely powerful."

This is nice, but I always feel it's not right for me, so I say, "No, no."

Su Wuyan couldn't take it anymore. "You brat, you don't want this, you don't want that. What are you thinking?"

"These are the only good thousand-year-old souls I have in my Spirit Pagoda in Donghai City."

"Uncle, is there no indomitable spirit?" Su Qiutu revealed his true intentions.

He doesn't have high requirements for soul spirits, and amplification-type soul skills are rare, so he might as well choose the Unyielding Soul Spirit directly.

In this era where bloodlines reign supreme, choosing an indomitable spirit at least ensures that one won't back down because of the other's noble bloodline.

"An indomitable soul?" Su Wuyan stared blankly at Su Qiu, a multitude of thoughts flashing through his mind, before finally affirming, "Good!"

A soul beast figure tearing through the sky appeared on the screen. Its wingspan was over ten meters, its body resembled an eagle but was even more robust, and its muscles were taut like forged iron, full of explosive power.

"Sky-Splitting Crying Vulture!"

"One of the overlord soul beasts in the sky, this one is only 1,200 years old."

"If it were a 100,000-year-old Sky-Splitting Roaring Vulture, it would truly blot out the sky and the sun. It's a pity that now it can only manifest as a 100,000-year-old spirit."

"Perhaps we could have seen its complete form ten thousand years ago."

"Even with only a little over a thousand years of cultivation, the Sky-Splitting Crying Vulture possesses considerable intelligence, making it extremely difficult to tame."

"This is it." Su Qiu was captivated at first sight. Such a handsome soul was meant to be his.

　I've looked into the lore of the Holy Lance carefully, and some sources say it also has a seal and is modeled after the Holy Sword. Gray also chants a ritual to release the seal when she uses the Holy Lance.
