Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Plot Begins to Collapse

Chapter 33 Soul Ring Replacement Experiment

Three days later, as Xiao Chenyu provoked Tang San again, Tang San had no choice but to reveal his spirit ring during the battle. Just as Bai Yu had predicted, through word of mouth, Tang San and the Master were completely disgraced.

You two keep saying that you hunted the Mandragora Serpent, that the master was injured by the Mandragora Serpent, and that the disciple sacrificed himself to save the master. So what about the Mandragora Serpent's spirit ring?

The absorption failed? Then why is Tang San still alive? You two must be lying!

Taking advantage of the situation, Bai Yu found Tang San, pretended to feel guilty, apologized to him, and said that he did not expect things to turn out this way.

At this moment, Tang San trusted Bai Yu more than his own father, so how could he possibly associate the mastermind with Bai Yu? He only felt that everyone else was drunk while he alone was sober; the world had gone mad, but it wasn't him, Tang San, who had gone mad!

After completing all this, Su Lin sent another letter inviting Bai Yu to the Soul Hunter Forest. However, when the messenger delivered the letter, Bai Yu was not in his room. Instead, Xiao Wu, who often bothered him next door, happened to meet the messenger, received the letter, and insisted on going with Bai Yu.

Bai Yu thought for a moment. Xiao Wu's spirit ring was formed by herself, not obtained by hunting spirit beasts. It would be a good opportunity to test whether he could replace her spirit ring.

So Bai Yu, Xiao Wu, Su Lin, and Uncle Huang stepped into the Soul Hunter Forest together.

Bai Yu looked at Su Lin and asked tentatively with a smile:

"Brother Su, didn't your Soul Master come today?"

Su Lin, completely unsuspecting, laughed:

"Well, Soul Master has his own things to do, and we can't always go deep into the Soul Hunting Forest. This time I just plan to try my luck on the outskirts, so I've asked Uncle Huang to come with me."

Uncle Huang smiled at Bai Yu and Xiao Wu, and said:

"Bai Yu, several families that are on good terms with our Su family have heard about you. If there is an opportunity in the future, they will invite you to explore the Soul Hunting Forest together."

This way, I'll have many more opportunities to enter the Soul Hunter Forest in the future. I can't always be following the Su family. Bai Yu smiled.

"Thank you, Uncle Huang."

Xiao Wu quietly tugged at Bai Yu from behind. She had a lot of questions she wanted to ask, such as how Bai Yu got involved with the Su family, and what Bai Yu did to make the Su family treat him so well. In short, she was like a little girl, very interested in everything about her crush.

Bai Yu patiently recounted the story to her, explaining that most of it was true, but some details were fabricated. He knew Xiao Wu was like a large, impulsive, and adventurous child, so the details he made up caught Xiao Wu's attention.

Just then, a howl suddenly came from afar, as loud as thunder, which startled Xiao Wu!

Xiao Wu seized the opportunity to grab Bai Yu's clothes, hiding behind him, and said warily:

"Could we encounter powerful spirit beasts on the outskirts? Surely our luck can't be that bad?"

Seeing this, Uncle Huang comforted him:

"Don't worry, the sound is far away from here. It's probably some soul beasts fighting in the middle of the forest. It won't affect us. We're safe."

Damn it, don't make any promises you can't keep. Bai Yu felt a chill run down his spine.

Seeing Xiao Wu's pitiful appearance, Su Lin was about to make a few teasing remarks when suddenly, a dark shadow darted out of the bushes not far away and pounced on Su Lin with lightning speed!

Swish!

Uncle Huang reacted quickly, his sword flash forcing the dark figure back. Only then did the four of them see clearly that it was a huge black panther. Although it had been forced back by Uncle Huang, its ferocity remained undiminished, and it was looking for another opportunity to attack.

"Judging by its size, it's a 60-year-old black panther."

Xiao Wu frowned and muttered to herself in a voice only she could hear.

Having lived in the Star Dou Great Forest for so long, even without deliberate research, she had seen countless soul beasts alongside the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, so it was impossible for her not to understand them.

Among the four, Uncle Huang, who was the strongest on paper, frowned and silently calculated in his mind.

"This black panther is stronger than me by calculation, but with Bai Yu's assistance, and both Young Master Su and that girl being first-ring Soul Masters, we might have a chance to win. If we kill this black panther, we can definitely sell it for a lot of money, maybe even several months' wages."

Thinking of this, Uncle Huang said in a deep voice:

"Prepare for battle! We'll slaughter this beast!"

Su Lin was eager to try, Bai Yu remained expressionless, while Xiao Wu frowned secretly, quite dissatisfied with Uncle Huang's choice of words.

However, the black panther didn't care about that. After finding an opening, it suddenly pounced on Xiao Wu!

Whether it's a person or a rabbit, it's not picky about food!

"Xiao Wu, get out of the way!"

Bai Yu let out a low shout, summoned the Human Emperor Banner, and activated his first soul skill, enveloping Xiao Wu within it.

Without Bai Yu's prompting, Xiao Wu used her first soul skill, Waist Bow, the instant the black panther pounced. Her flexibility was greatly enhanced, and with a twist of her waist, she seemingly narrowly but actually safely dodged the black panther's attack.

At this moment, the golden light of the Emperor's Banner fell into Xiao Wu's body. Xiao Wu felt that her flexibility had reached a new level, so she took the opportunity to grab the black panther, nimbly leaping on its body, stepping on the panther's head and kicking it in another direction.

Uncle Huang instantly understood, activated his second soul skill, and slashed his sword in that direction, aiming straight for the leopard's head!

Black Panther was caught off guard by this series of coordinated attacks and had no time to dodge. He was killed by a single sword strike!

Just a second before Black Panther was struck down, Bai Yu secretly used the Myriad Soul Banner to create an illusion, which simultaneously affected Su Lin, Xiao Wu, and Uncle Huang.

In the eyes of the three of them, the black panther dodged Uncle Huang's attack and continued to attack them, while the three of them kept fighting back.

But in reality, in Bai Yu's eyes, Uncle Huang was raising his leg high, Su Lin was punching, and Xiao Wu was twisting and turning in place, as if dancing.

Bai Yu chuckled softly. Those below the Soul Venerable level were almost unable to resist his illusion, and the Soul Banner still had a large reserve of soul power, so the illusion could last for a long time. Therefore, he walked unhurriedly to the black panther's corpse and waited for the soul ring to appear.

In the past, he would devour the souls of the soul beasts while they were still alive, so he never had a soul ring. But now that the black panther was killed by Uncle Huang using physical means, a white soul ring appeared quickly.

Bai Yu summoned the Myriad Soul Banner, absorbing the black panther's soul ring, but did not refine it, instead temporarily storing it. He then walked behind Su Lin, attempting to draw out his soul ring, but Su Lin in the illusion suddenly showed a pained expression.

Seeing this, Bai Yu quickly stopped, and after thinking for a moment, he understood what was going on.

He shook the Myriad Soul Banner, and countless points of light appeared—the soul power stored within it. These points of light rapidly merged into Su Lin's body, while Bai Yu continued to guide his soul rings.

This time, Su Lin did not show any pain. The spirit ring was successfully drawn out, and Bai Yu then handed the black panther's spirit ring to Su Lin.

"Success! It really works to replace someone else's spirit ring. However, when Su Lin's spirit ring was being pulled, he seemed to feel pain. That's probably because his spirit ring was already fixed in his soul. Forcibly pulling it was like tearing his soul apart, which is why he was in pain."

"To confirm my hypothesis, I guided his spirit rings while using my spirit power to repair them, and his pain was indeed greatly reduced. Hmm, let's try to change Xiao Wu's spirit rings next."

Bai Yu once again pulled the Black Panther's spirit ring out of Su Lin's body. This time, he did not use any additional spirit power to repair it for Su Lin, because the Black Panther's spirit ring had just entered Su Lin's body and had not yet been completely fixed, so Su Lin would not feel any pain.

Bai Yu walked up to Xiao Wu, who was dancing, and used the same trick again, drawing out her spirit ring and inserting the black panther's spirit ring into it.

"It's a success!"

Bai Yu was overjoyed. This way, he could cultivate his own confidants and build his own power!

At this moment, he had already decided on his title: Imperial Douluo!

While envisioning the future, Bai Yu switched Xiao Wu's soul ring back and then dispelled the illusion in front of Xiao Wu and the other two.
