Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Plot Begins to Collapse

Chapter 16 The First Soul Refining of the Myriad Soul Banner

Xiao Wu enjoyed the cheers of the crowd for a while, then suddenly realized something and quickly asked:

"Xiaoyu, you got your first spirit ring?"

Tang San was struggling with his inner turmoil when he heard Xiao Wu's words. He forgot all his hesitation and looked at Bai Yu, asking:

"Xiaoyu, you did it?"

Bai Yu nodded and smiled:

"Thanks to Dean Wu, I am now a Soul Master."

Everyone looked on with envy, and Tang San inquired:

What is your first soul skill?

"Group gain".

Bai Yu gave a brief explanation, and everyone exclaimed in amazement, "What an amazing support-type martial soul!"

Pu Xin was both shocked and excited. Xiao Yu's soul skill was amazing. He was indeed a helper sent to me by the heavens. The stronger he became, the better he could assist me in the future!

Unfortunately, my teacher has disappeared, and I still don't have a soul ring. I need to go find my teacher right away!

Thinking this, Tang San lost his appetite for celebration. He made an excuse to Bai Yu, saying that he had a stomachache and needed to go to the toilet, and then hurriedly ran away. Everyone's mood was ruined by his actions.

Whether it was psychological or just an exceptionally sensitive nose, Xiao Wu pinched her nose and said with a strange expression:

"Xiaoyu, let's go quickly, let's not stay here."

Wang Sheng nodded frantically:

"Ahem, I suddenly remembered we haven't brought in the laundry yet. Shall we go back?"

"Go back, go back!"

Bai Yu chuckled:

"Xiao Wu, you guys go back first. I still need to go to the Spirit Hall branch to register as a Spirit Master."

Xiao Wu was stunned:

"So, does that mean you won't have to work part-time anymore?"

Bai Yu nodded. Xiao Wu felt depressed at the thought of not being able to clean with Bai Yu in the future.

But in front of Wang Sheng and the others, Xiao Wu couldn't say anything and could only leave sullenly.

Bai Yu left the academy again, but instead of going to the Spirit Hall, he headed straight for the wilderness.

He's going to find a lucky person to refine his soul.

As for the Soul Hunting Forest, he couldn't enter without a warrant. However, soul beasts aren't only found in the Soul Hunting Forest; there are also many in the wilderness jungles, though very few are over a hundred years old.

A hundred-year-old soul beast corresponds to a Soul Master's Soul Venerable strength, and Bai Yu cannot currently refine soul beasts that are over a hundred years old.

North of Nottingham City lies a vast jungle. Bai Yu quickly arrived at the jungle entrance, and to his surprise, there was a village there, bustling with activity.

"Let's explore the Notting Forest! We're short two players, preferably a Soul Master!"

"Let's form a team! We're heading into the forest to find some rare materials. Need an experienced player? Five Soul Coins!"

"Any Soul Masters here? Looking for a Soul Master to lead the team!"

Bai Yu looked around and found that this place was very similar to the situation of people setting up stalls and forming teams at the entrance of the Soul Hunter Forest. However, most of the people here were ordinary people, and there were very few Soul Masters. Even one-ring Soul Masters were almost non-existent.

That's true. Why come to such a small, run-down place if you can become a Soul Master? This jungle looks big, but there's nothing special about it. High-level Soul Beasts are all kept in the Soul Hunting Forest. Why would a Soul Master waste their time in this wild forest? They'd be better off working as a guest retainer for a wealthy family, guaranteeing a minimum of two-digit gold Soul Coins a month.

However, Bai Yu is an exception. A six-year-old Soul Master, can you guess what he is?

He strode into the forest, and the noise of the village soon faded away, leaving only the rustling of the wind through the grass.

Suddenly, Bai Yu stopped and turned around to look behind him. An ordinary wolf was charging towards him.

He didn't even use his soul skills. When the wolf pounced, he threw a punch, his fist slightly imbued with soul power. The wolf was knocked unconscious and completely disoriented.

And he didn't refine the soul either. This little wolf doesn't even have soul power, so how can he refine it?

Bai Yu continued walking, but suddenly he stopped again, becoming secretly wary.

"The rustling sound is a bit off. The wind isn't that strong now. Something's wandering around me. If only I had Tang San's Purple Demon Eye."

Bai Yu sighed inwardly, pretending not to notice anything, and continued walking.

Suddenly, a two-and-a-half-meter-long green snake attacked from behind him and bit his shoulder.

Bai Yu was bitten and looked pained. The green snake was overjoyed and quickly injected its venom into Bai Yu's body.

However, the next moment, the green snake's vision blurred, and "Bai Yu," who had been bitten, turned into a large tree!

The green snake was terrified, while Bai Yu, who was standing next to the big tree, suddenly changed the color of the Emperor Banner in his hand, turning dark, gloomy, and filled with an evil aura.

The green snake felt a deep-seated fear and quickly pulled its teeth out of the tree trunk. Just as it was about to escape, a suction force suddenly came from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. It was the devouring effect of the Nightmare Man-Eating Flower.

The green snake writhed wildly, and all sorts of illusions appeared before its eyes. Bai Yu used the illusions to exhaust it while using the Myriad Soul Banner to devour its soul power, quickly leaving it exhausted.

At this moment, the true power of the Myriad Souls Banner was revealed. The green snake could no longer maintain its state of unity between body and spirit, and a phantom green snake was pulled out by the Myriad Souls Banner and appeared above its head—that was its soul. The Myriad Souls Banner was constantly tearing at and devouring its soul.

Finally, the green snake could not resist. Its soul was torn into countless points of light, which gathered into the Myriad Soul Banner. Its body turned into dust and was scattered by the wind.

With a thought, Bai Yu waved the Myriad Souls Banner, and the light spots recombine, transforming into a phantom green snake that appeared on his shoulder, looking quite obedient.

Because it is in a soul state, ordinary people cannot see or feel this green snake, but Bai Yu can command this green snake to attack enemies.

This green snake is young, and after soul refining, it only has one skill: biting, which directly bites the opponent's soul, causing mental damage.

Wait, I feel like I'm cosplaying, the kind where you can shout slogans just by holding a Poké Ball.

Bai Yu shook his head, dismissing the strange thought, patted the green snake's head, and laughed:

"Very good, you'll be my first soul pet. You'll be called Xiao Qing! It's a pity you're too weak, only equivalent to a level five or six human. Oh well, I'll go find a few more soul beasts to test and see if I can devour their soul power to level you up."

Upon hearing this, the green snake rubbed its head against Bai Yu's hand, appearing quite agile; however, this was something Bai Yu himself was controlling.

It's normal for a newly formed soul to lack consciousness; just nurture it slowly.

Bai Yu continued walking forward, releasing the green snake as a scout, and it quickly found its next target.

It was a thirty-year-old wild rabbit, even more ferocious than a wolf, but under the illusion and devouring effect of the Myriad Soul Banner, it quickly lost its ability to resist, and its soul was torn apart by the Myriad Soul Banner, turning into countless points of light.

However, this time Bai Yu did not choose to recombine the light spots, but instead guided them into the Green Snake's body.

The Green Snake received a large boost of soul power, causing its strength to increase by leaps and bounds, leveling up several times.

Bai Yu's experiment was successful, and he was very satisfied.

"Great! Now I can nurture her soul. I'll find a chance to take Ah Yin in, raise her, and when Tang San and I turn against each other, I'll tell him your spring water was stolen, and that'll infuriate him!"

Bai Yu chuckled and continued refining his soul in the forest, while Xiao Qing's strength also advanced by leaps and bounds, from level five or six at the beginning to level twelve now, doubling in strength.

Bai Yu is currently only level eleven. After Xiao Qing reaches level twelve, he clearly feels that Xiao Qing needs more soul power to level up.

Bai Yu muttered to himself:

"Could it be related to my strength? When Xiaoqing's strength is lower than mine, nurturing her soul is twice as effective. But when Xiaoqing's strength is higher than mine, she needs more soul power, and nurturing her soul becomes twice as difficult? It's very possible."

As Bai Yu was thinking, his eyes suddenly sharpened, he turned his head to look at the three o'clock position, and shouted:

"Who's there? Show yourself!"
