Douluo: My Clone Simulates the Star God.

Chapter 12 The Soul of the Black Tower

"There's no need for that. We came here to buy souls, so why wouldn't we pay?"

"Besides, even if it's a more expensive ten-thousand-year-old soul spirit, our family can afford it. A mere thousand-year-old soul spirit is nothing."

Yuan Bao'er was naturally aware of the Spirit Master's intention to do her a favor, and she refused without hesitation.

Money is easy to repay, but favors are hard to repay.

A thousand-year-old soul might not mean much to Yuanbao'er, an adult, but it can easily evoke feelings of gratitude or indebtedness in a child, making him more susceptible to being recruited by the Spirit Pagoda in the future.

Yuan Bao'er always believed that her child's future should be decided by herself, rather than being drawn into the vortex of powerful forces so early on and unable to extricate herself. Therefore, to ensure that Black Tower's future was not bound, she couldn't afford to owe even the slightest favor!

"Alright, the three of you, please come with me. I'll take you to the place where the thousand-year-old souls are kept."

Since Yuanbao'er refused, the spirit medium had no choice but to follow the procedure and lead them to the location of the thousand-year-old soul. However, he had already uploaded the child's information, and he believed that the Spirit Pagoda would send someone over soon.

After that, it was no longer a matter for him, a mere spirit medium, to worry about.

The moment the door opened, the dazzling array of spirit orbs caught everyone's attention. The two adults were fine, but the two children were completely captivated by the glittering objects. Even Mu Xi, who had been here before, couldn't resist.

"This is where century-old spirits are stored. Each of these century-old spirits is a masterpiece. If they were sold on the market, they would fetch at least one million federal coins."

The Spirit Master's voice came from the front, his tone full of pride, seemingly excited about joining the powerful Spirit Tower organization.

"However, given this child's exceptional talent, a hundred-year-old soul spirit is no longer suitable; only a thousand-year-old soul spirit is worthy of him."

"Hmph! Of course!"

Black Tower proudly raised its head once again, drawing laughter from those around it, including Mu Xi, though her eyes seemed to hold other emotions as well.

"We've arrived! This is the room where thousand-year-old souls are kept, including some high-level ones. Please follow me!"

Inside the huge circular room, there was a ring-shaped corridor. Every meter along both sides of the corridor, there was a glittering soul sphere. In front of each soul sphere was a soul guide screen of moderate size, displaying specific information about that soul.

Judging from the size of the site, there must be at least one hundred thousand-year-old souls stored here!

"Could you explain the characteristics of this child's martial spirit? If it's convenient, I can recommend a suitable spirit for her."

"Of course it's the mental attribute. Please tell us more about it."

This was not unexpected for anyone; the child's extraordinary mental strength alone was enough to determine the attributes of his martial soul.

"Of course, since it's a spirit-type creature, how about this Purple Spirit Wolf?"

The group arrived in front of a soul guide screen, and the image of a soul beast immediately appeared. It was a small soul beast with dark purple fur all over its body and a shape somewhat like a wolf.

"The spirit rings and spirits produced by the Purple Spirit Wolf can be adapted to most spirit-attribute martial souls. It is said that Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Ice Douluo from ten thousand years ago, possessed a Purple Spirit Wolf as the third spirit ring of his Spirit Eye martial soul."

As an excellent spirit master, he immediately recommended the best option, and with the added prestige of being a celebrity like Spirit Ice Douluo, almost no one would refuse.

"What do you think? I also think this soul beast is very suitable."

Not only did the Spirit Master think so, but Yuan Bao'er also thought so. However, to her surprise, the Black Tower shook its head.

"Bao'er's mom, let's keep looking... I feel like there's a spirit here that's attracting me, but it doesn't seem to be the one in front of me."

Upon hearing this, the other three were stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Black Tower to say such a thing. However, since the child had said so, they had to continue.

"Alright then, let's continue."

"How about this mermaid? As a rare humanoid soul beast, her soul spirit is rare even in our Spirit Pagoda, and it is also a top-tier spiritual attribute soul spirit."

Upon seeing the special soul spirit with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish, Yuan Bao'er and Mu Xi's eyes lit up. Compared to the purple beast-shaped soul spirit from before, the mermaid was obviously much prettier and more suitable for a girl.

After all, humans are creatures that crave sight. If an evil eye, the kind that sends chills down your spine, were to fly around a girl, it would be quite unsettling.

However, neither Black Tower nor Yao Lan, who was hiding in the body, were satisfied with this soul spirit, because the spiritual power of this soul spirit was not as strong as that of the wolf from before!

Hei Ta simply shook his head silently, then walked past Yuan Bao'er and the Spirit Transmission Master, heading forward alone.

"This is?"

"Let's follow Black Tower for now; there must be a reason she did this!"

The spirit medium was somewhat at a loss, but Yuan Bao'er quickly stopped him.

So his name is Black Tower? The Spirit Master noted down the name, and then he and Yuan Bao'er followed Black Tower slowly forward.

As for Mu Xi, who was following at the very back, she looked at the three people in front of her, then at the people beside her and behind her, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

It seems like I've been completely useless here. I was originally planning to help my sister choose a good soul spirit, but she just went out and chose one herself?

"That's true. Black Tower is a genius favored by Dad... It's normal that she's better than me." Mu Xi sighed helplessly, but in the end, she didn't say anything and silently followed behind the others.

As for Black Tower, who was walking at the front, she stopped after taking about twenty steps and turned to look at the soul orb beside her. Clearly, she had found the soul that had attracted her.

"Please tell us about this spirit!"

Seeing that the black tower had stopped, Yuan Bao'er immediately understood her choice and spoke to the spirit master beside her.

"Alright." The spirit medium sighed and walked to the side of the soul guidance screen.

"This spirit is somewhat special, because its race is not of the spiritual attribute, but of the earth attribute, and it is called the Black Velvet Lion..."

"Black Velvet Lion? But isn't it white? And it looks so strange?" Before the Spirit Master could finish speaking, Black Tower interrupted him, but he wasn't angry and continued to introduce it.

"A normal black velvet lion is naturally black all over, but this is a mutated spirit, which may contain a trace of dragon blood, which is why its appearance has changed and it has even become a spiritual attribute."

On the soul guide screen, the figure of a soul beast gradually appeared. It had a lion's head and body, a dragon's tail, and a snow-white body. Most importantly, it had a crystal-clear horn on its head.

The overall look has a slightly unusual aesthetic appeal!

Almost no one at the scene recognized this soul beast, because just like martial souls, soul beasts can also mutate continuously, and there is no one in the world who can recognize all soul beasts.

But there was one person who recognized the special nature of this spirit: Black Tower!

The moment she saw this spirit, she thought of a mythical beast from legends…

Bai Ze!

It's finally in the warehouse! I'm so happy!
