Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

Regardless of whether those were passing spirit beasts or Tang Hao who was still in the forest, his most important task now is to find a suitable herd of beasts and create spirit rings to absorb.

Chapter 141 Personal Customization

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and during this time, Chen Yao had not found any soul beasts or herds that satisfied him.

Then there are some precious and rare soul beasts, but most of them are extremely rare.

However, there are quite a few soul beasts among them that are suitable for Tang Yuehua.

After encountering setbacks in his search for spirit rings in the Star Dou Forest, Chen Yao realized the importance of studying.

Afterwards, they searched the Spirit Hall and found many books about the characteristics of spirit beasts, which were stored in their spirit tools.

In the Killing City, during his spare time, besides seeking pleasure, Chen Yao would occasionally calm down and take a look.

Therefore, he recognized most of the spirit beasts he encountered.

In his understanding, Tang Yuehua's martial soul was capable of both offense and support, and he was there to ensure her safety.

Therefore, you can use the Soul Skill slots 1-4 in the early stages, which have less effect in the later stages, to absorb support-type Soul Rings.

After gaining Tang Yuehua's approval, Chen Yao successively selected three rare soul beasts from among the soul beasts he saw that matched the nature of his martial soul, and had them absorb them.

After absorbing the spirit ring, Tang Yuehua's spirit power accumulated in the City of Slaughter was completely released.

Although the City of Slaughter had very little soul power, Chen Yao and Liu Erlong had very little left over after recovering the soul power they had consumed.

But for Tang Yuehua, who was only a level 9 Soul Master at the time, it was more than enough. After breaking through the bottleneck, coupled with the Soul Power generated when absorbing Soul Rings, she directly reached level 37.

Although her soul power is still somewhat insufficient, her two soul skills are exclusive auxiliary soul skills specially customized for Chen Yao at her suggestion!

Even though the gap between them and Chen Yao, who is currently at the level 70 bottleneck, is too large, they can still provide a terrifying boost to his combat power.

She was born with a domain, which transformed into the Ziwei Star Domain after her martial soul underwent a metamorphosis.

Within her domain, releasing starlight to envelop her teammates can comprehensively enhance their strength, speed, spirit, and soul power.

Her first soul skill is Starlight Focus.

Teammates under the starlight will receive a starlight buff, increasing the trigger probability of any of their random soul skills by 3 times.

It doesn't sound particularly impressive, because very few Soul Masters on the continent would possess such a probabilistic Soul Skill. If they were unlucky, the price they would pay could very well be their own lives.

But this soul skill is not for assisting others.

Chen Yao's second soul skill, Evil Fang Core, has an additional effect: Black Devour!

Any attack by Chen Yao has a 10% chance to trigger Black Devour, increasing the power by 1000% on top of the original attack.

Chen Yao himself was already triggering the Black Devouring effect extremely frequently due to the countless black tentacles extending from his own martial soul.

This is because the effect is calculated individually for each tentacle.

If Tang Yuehua's Starlight Focus is added, it is highly likely that Chen Yao will trigger nearly a dozen Black Devours in a short round of attacks, such an amplification is considerable.

His second soul skill is "Radiant Brilliance".

Emperor Star Radiance grants attribute affinity to teammates within the domain and enhances the quality of its own attributes.

For Chen Yao, who possesses pure energy, the effect is self-evident.

As for the third soul skill, it's Star Track Transfer.

A soul skill that alters the form of one's own domain.

Cancel the amplification effect of the area coverage within your own domain, gather all the buffs together, transform them into a star chain, and link it with a designated teammate.

The remaining teammates will no longer receive any buffs, while teammates connected to Starlink will receive a 3x increase in buff effects.

Furthermore, the star chain is invisible, the starlight does not dissipate, the star chain is unbroken, and the benefit does not dissipate either.

In other words, as long as Tang Yuehua has enough soul power, this buff is almost permanent and has no time limit!

In the Douluo Continent, there is no such thing as a magic weapon, but at this moment, Tang Yuehua has completely become Chen Yao's custom-made humanoid magic weapon!

After listening to Tang Yuehua's description of his soul skills, a look of relief flashed across Chen Yao's face.

Fortunately, he hadn't been stingy and had allowed Tang Yuehua to absorb most of the medicinal power of the Qiluo Tulip.

Such support abilities are something he couldn't get even if he extorted the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School a hundred times!

Besides Tang Yuehua, Ah Yin also completed the absorption of her soul ring early on.

As the successor of the God of Life, although others may not be able to perceive it, the boundless life force on Ah Yin's body is like a candle in the darkness, bright and warm, to the plants in the forest.

Almost as soon as they stepped into the depths of the forest, countless powerful plant spirit beasts released their wills, vying to express their intention to sacrifice themselves to Ah Yin.

Having endured years of killing, Ah Yin was also decisive. From those thoughts, she found the most suitable ancient banyan tree for herself and accepted its sacrifice.

However, after accepting the sacrifice, Ah Yin did not choose to absorb the soul power on the soul ring. Instead, she used her life power to re-condense that soul power into a seed.

Once she successfully attains godhood, she will bring these seeds to the divine realm to plant, repaying the ancient tree that sacrificed itself for her, and thus be reborn.

Now, Tang Yuehua and A Yin have both obtained their own spirit rings and broken through their spirit power. Liu Erlong's spirit power has not yet reached its bottleneck. Only Chen Yao remains. After obtaining his spirit ring, the group will be able to end their forest trip.

However, given Chen Yao's pickiness, none of the girls considered it a short journey. They were almost prepared to stay in the forest for ten days, half a month, or even more than a month.

But shortly afterward, Ah Yin, who was constantly scouting ahead, suddenly beamed with joy and spoke up.

"I've found the lair of the Dark Shadows!"

"Dark and Shadowy Shadows?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao was taken aback for a moment, then recalled the introduction about Dark Void Shadow.

Similar to the Shadow Beast, they are all soul beasts composed of dark energy, with only outlines and no physical form.

However, compared to Shadow Beasts, Dark Void Shadows possess purer energy, almost without any impurities. Their attacks are complex, bizarre, and powerful, making them extremely rare soul beasts. They are also soul beasts that are extremely compatible with Chen Yao's seventh soul ring.

"How old are they? How many are there?"

But Chen Yao wasn't too happy yet. Instead, he raised an eyebrow and asked Ah Yin.

"There are two dark shadows in total, seemingly a couple, one 70,000 years old and the other 60,000 years old."

Ah Yin blurted it out.

Unlike Shadow Chief, Dark Void Shadow cannot create new life simply by projecting soul power into the shadows.

Furthermore, it has no physical form and is neither male nor female.

However, they can merge their energy with that of their own kind. The cores of the two beasts rub against each other and collide, which can generate a new energy. This energy, over time, will be born as a new Dark Void Shadow.

Unlike their name, Dark Shadows possess emotions no less than those of humans. Therefore, after giving birth to a new Dark Shadow, the mother and father will not separate. Instead, they will recognize each other and travel together from then on.

This is why Ah Yin refers to them as "couples".

Upon hearing Ah Yin's words, Chen Yao's eyes lit up.

One is 70,000 years old, and the other is 60,000 years old. If the Black Zhe is used, it will be able to break through the 100,000-year mark. In addition, with the characteristics of the Dark Void Shadow, it can be said that these two soul beasts are the most suitable choices for his seventh soul ring.

"Those two are it, let's go!"

As he spoke, Chen Yao shoved Ah Yin, signaling her to lead the way quickly, his eyes filled with barely concealed excitement.

Soon, led by Ah Yin, the group gradually arrived at a dark and secluded forest. A cold wind blew and a chilling atmosphere permeated the air, making it extremely eerie and unsettling compared to the outside world.

As they ventured deeper, they came to see a simple altar made of stones.

Two wisps of dark energy floated slowly above the altar.

Those were none other than the two dark, shadowy figures.

They were entirely dark, with no discernible shape, except for two crimson eyes that shimmered at their tops.

However, there was no trace of rage or agitation in those scarlet eyes; only the dignified look when the two sides looked at each other, and the hostility and vigilance when they discovered Chen Yao and the others' arrival!

"Buzz!"

At this moment, the two dark, shadowy figures slowly floated into the air, their two pairs of eyes locking onto Chen Yao and his companions, and a strange sound wave began to emanate from them.

This caused Chen Yao and the others' eardrums to begin to vibrate uncontrollably.

This seemed to be a warning to Chen Yao and his group to leave immediately.

"Liu Erlong, A Yin, don't make a move. Yuehua, assist me."

Chen Yao sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the two dark, shadowy figures and became intrigued.

It just so happens that he has only had a rough experience with Tang Yuehua's soul skills and has not yet felt how effective they are in battle. These two beasts are the best targets for him right now.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua nodded excitedly. Then, she handed the bewildered little Rongrong in her arms to A Yin, took a step forward, clasped her hands together, and placed them in front of her chest.

As a dazzling purple aura surged forth, Tang Yuehua's hands opened and blossomed like lotus flowers, revealing a noble and exquisite purple ruyi scepter floating in her palms.

"The Purple Star Region!"

As Tang Yuehua gave a soft shout, the surrounding scenery instantly shifted and changed.

In an instant, a Purple Star, symbolizing nobility and majesty, appeared in the sky, replacing the position of the great sun.

A dazzling purple light shone down from the imperial star, painting this dark area with a vast expanse of purple.

"Star orbit transfer!"

"Radiant Splendor!"

"Starlight Focus!"

As the domain formed, three purple soul rings rose behind Tang Yuehua, bursting forth with dazzling light.

Then, the dazzling starlight around them gathered and transformed into an exquisite star chain, as if sculpted by the heavens, which descended from the imperial star in the sky and landed on Chen Yao's back.

The moment he connected with Starlink, Chen Yao's eyes widened and his whole body trembled.

At this moment, the soul power within his body seemed to have transformed from a river into an endless ocean, surging and roaring like a raging torrent!

The dark aura surrounding him surged, becoming so dense it was almost impossible to dissipate. Compared to the two dark shadows in front of him, Chen Yao now seemed more like the dark overlord of this dark forest.

At the same time, everything in the world seemed to become incredibly clear in his eyes. The two beasts' panicked actions due to the changing situation were all seen by Chen Yao, revealing numerous flaws.

At this moment, Chen Yao subconsciously looked at his palm, clenched his fist, and felt the changes in his body, his eyes full of novelty.

"That feels really good."
