Douluo Continent: The God of Thunder Descends, Martial Soul Lei Yi

Chapter 3: Obtaining the Soul Ring, the God of Thunder Descends.

"I think we don't need to be in such a hurry."

Lei Ming, walking through the Sunset Forest, glanced at Shui Ningbing and Shui Bing'er beside him with a helpless expression.

Two hours ago they were still at Tianshui Academy, but under the guidance of Shui Ningbing, who possessed the strength of a Soul Douluo, they arrived at Sunset Forest in just two hours.

"You brat, I don't want to miss a single second of this."

Shui Ningbing looked around warily and spoke without turning her head.

The spirit beasts here rarely pose a threat to her, but the two children beside her are a different story.

Shui Bing'er, who was holding Lei Ming's hand tightly, nodded seriously.

Although she could support Lei Ming indefinitely, she also knew about the pride in Lei Ming's heart.

From childhood, everyone he knew called him a genius, and this only increased after he awakened his martial soul. However, ever since he learned that he could no longer absorb soul rings, everyone except Shui Bing'er's family seemed to have forgotten about Lei Ming.

It's as if Lei Ming never existed in this world.

Although they were very worried about Lei Ming's feelings, Lei Ming himself felt no different except for a slight sense of loss at the time.

It was still her childhood sweetheart, Shui Bing'er, and still her aunt who had taken her in.

For him, having these two people around is enough.

"Auntie, you're the one who gave me this name, so why do you always call me 'brat'? And you don't need to be so wary, Bing'er is also a Soul Master."

Lei Ming could feel the fine sweat on Shui Bing'er's soft little hands, and immediately spoke to Shui Ningbing to break the tense atmosphere.

His name was given to him by Shui Ningbing. As for what he was called in his previous life, it was something like Chen or Qiu, but he forgot.

"I'll call you brat."

Amidst her busy schedule, Shui Ningbing glanced back at him and rolled her eyes. There weren't any particularly powerful soul beasts around, and with the slight aura she released, no foolish soul beasts dared to approach. She relaxed a little.

Moreover, this is only the outer edge of Sunset Forest, so even if there are soul beasts here, they wouldn't be very old.

Lei Ming may not have much strength, but Shui Bing'er, who is by his side, is a true Soul Master.

"I remember my aunt saying that Xiaoming was struck by lightning, which is why he is called Leiming (Thunder Ming)."

Shui Bing'er held Lei Ming's hand with one hand, and gently touched her lips with the other, a hint of a smile flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Shui Ningbing had said these words to the two of them since they were little, but apart from Shui Bing'er taking them seriously when they were young, Lei Ming had never paid any attention to them.

"He was struck by lightning. I'll take you to see the Star Dou Great Forest sometime."

Shui Ningbing sighed helplessly, "These days, nobody believes the truth anymore."

"Auntie, you're not serious, are you?"

Lei Ming was slightly taken aback when he saw that Shui Ningbing didn't seem to be joking.

He had always thought Shui Ningbing was joking, and she hadn't said anything like that in many years.

After all, how can the lies told when you were a child fool a grown-up teenager?

But seeing Shui Ningbing's serious expression, Lei Ming's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that I am some kind of soul beast? And that I turned into an infant because I failed the tribulation?

That's not right! If I really were a soul beast, how could Soul Douluo Shui Ningbing let me go out?

There are quite a few Contras in Elemental City, and I've even seen him when the academies are exchanging ideas.

If he were truly a soul beast, how could no one have discovered his identity?

"Of course I'm serious, you're all grown up now. You have a soul beast!"

Shui Ningbing said irritably, "I've said these things many times, but nobody takes them seriously."

Suddenly sensing something ahead, Shui Ningbing vanished in a flash, returning in less than two breaths with a spirit beast over twenty inches in size.

This soul beast was golden yellow all over and looked more like a rat. Electricity kept flashing on its body as it struggled, but it was no use under the control of Soul Douluo Shui Ningbing.

"Electric Mouse".

Lei Ming called out the name of the soul beast.

When he had nothing to do, he would go to the library of Tianshui Academy to learn from it. Moreover, although he could not absorb soul rings, he was still treated as a student.

You can go to the classroom to study, or you can read books in the library.

Although Tianshui Academy has always only accepted female students, and preferably good-looking ones, it made an exception for Lei Ming, who got in through connections and who, despite having innate full soul power, was unable to absorb soul rings.

"Hmm, an eight-hundred-year-old electric mouse."

Shui Ningbing felt irritated by the squeaking of the mice beside her and clenched her fist tightly.

Instantly, the electric mouse's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, its mouth gaped open, and white foam dripped from the corners of its mouth, but it dared not utter another sound.

"How about this? An 800-year-old electric rat, perfect for your first spirit ring."

"Moreover, like your martial soul, it is of the lightning attribute."

The latest novel is first published here!

As she spoke, Shui Ningbing handed Lei Ming a short blade, then glanced at the egg in Lei Ming's hand and hesitated before speaking.

"Your martial spirit... it wouldn't hatch into an electric rat just because it absorbed an electric rat, would it?"

"Probably not."

Lei Ming took the short blade, his lips twitching.

Looking at the electric mouse, its head tilted to the side, foaming at the mouth, held in Shui Ningbing's hand, seemingly oblivious to its fate, he felt a little hesitant.

"Let's do it!"

Lei Ming cursed under his breath and plunged the short blade into the neck of the electric rat.

Isn't it said that the reason someone transmigrates determines the type of martial soul they awaken? He actually died suddenly while doing the Ray mission.

If it weren't for Ray, he would have accepted it; at worst, he could find a stronger spirit beast for his next spirit ring.

After all, the most troublesome thing is a martial spirit that has never appeared before and no one knows about.

For thousands of years, the Douluo Continent has compiled a list of all the martial souls that have ever appeared, and there are even special soul beasts that absorb them to create different soul skills.

If it were just an ordinary martial soul, that would be fine, but Lei Ming awakened something like this.

Something that's hard to tell if it's either essence or lightning-attribute armor.

He admitted that there was an element of gambling involved, but he had no other choice at the moment.

The next moment, a yellow soul ring slowly emerged from the electric rat's body, floating above its dead form.

Lei Ming immediately sat down to absorb the soul ring.

The 800-year-old electric rat had completely broken through the age limit for absorbing the first soul ring, but Lei Ming was not a six-year-old child.

He is now a fourteen-year-old boy. Although he has not been able to become a Soul Master, his cultivation of Soul Power has not lagged behind at all.

Absorbing an 800-year-old soul beast as one's first soul ring is indeed foolproof.

If he weren't so careful about his own life, he would have liked to try his luck with a thousand-year-old soul beast.

Time flies, and half an hour has passed in the blink of an eye.

Lei Ming, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground absorbing the soul ring, also had a change in his martial soul. The original essence was shrouded in golden light and gradually turned into a golden figure.

"When thunder rolls across the clouds, when lightning illuminates the earth, I come with the storm, bringing the wrath of the gods!"
