Douluo Continent: Starting with the Fire-Breathing Dragon Martial Soul!

Three days later, on the outskirts of the Soul Hunting Forest north of Tiandou City.

Ye Lingling watched her grandfather, Ye Linyuan, leave with a single sentence and then stamp her foot lightly. A rare look of helplessness appeared on her usually expressionless face.

"You promised to bring us to the Soul Hunter Forest, but you ran off as soon as you got us there."

She looked in the direction where Ye Linyuan's figure disappeared and couldn't help but mutter something under her breath.

Just now, Ye Linyuan led the two of them smoothly into this Soul Hunting Forest.

Before Lin Mo could even inquire about the specific action plan, Old Master Ye waved his hand and announced that the search for and hunting of soul beasts would be carried out by the two of them working together.

He would only protect them from the shadows, and would never easily make a move unless the two of them encountered a soul beast that they were truly unable to handle.

After saying that, without waiting for the two to react, he vanished into thin air, disappearing into some unknown place, clearly determined to be an observer.

Lin Mo, on the other hand, adapted very quickly.

With a thought, a flash of red light appeared, and the little fire dragon appeared on the open ground at his feet.

As soon as the little guy came out, he sensed the completely different primal atmosphere around him. He immediately raised his head warily, his sharp eyes scanning his surroundings, and he let out a low growl. The flames on his tail also suddenly intensified.

"Sister Lingling, we can just follow the little fire dragon," Lin Mo reassured the somewhat helpless Ye Lingling.

"It is very sensitive to auras. With the little fire dragon helping to find suitable soul beasts, it is much safer than us wandering around blindly."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling's gaze fell on the little fire dragon, which was swishing its tail and looked eager to try, but her eyes held a clear hint of doubt.

She spent quite a bit of time with the little dragon, but in front of her, the little guy mostly just lingered around the jerky, showing more of a gluttonous and... somewhat adorable side?

As for the little guy's actual fighting ability, she really had no idea.

The little dragon seemed to sense Ye Lingling's suspicious gaze. Somewhat annoyed, it turned its head and suddenly opened its mouth towards the empty space beside it—

"call!"

A burst of scorching flames erupted instantly. Although it wasn't aimed at any specific target, the intense heat and impact of the explosion still caused the surrounding air to distort.

Where the flames swept, the weeds on the ground instantly withered and died. Several ten-year-old soul beasts hiding in the nearby bushes were terrified and fled in a panic, squealing and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

This sudden action startled Ye Lingling so much that she took a small step back.

Lin Mo quickly squatted down, reached out and rubbed the little fire dragon's head to calm it down, "Alright, alright, I know you're powerful, don't scare Sister Lingling."

After calming down the slightly temperamental little fire dragon, Lin Mo also took the opportunity to bring his wandering thoughts back.

He surveyed the surroundings, which had suddenly become even quieter, and couldn't help but become extremely alert.

This Soul Hunting Forest was chosen for him by Elder Ye.

According to Elder Ye, the soul beasts in this Soul Hunting Forest are mainly those with a hundred years of cultivation, while a small number of thousand-year-old soul beasts may be encountered in the depths of the core area.

However, even thousand-year-old soul beasts don't have very high cultivation levels; there are very few soul beasts with more than two thousand years of cultivation.

Otherwise, Ye Linyuan wouldn't have dared to let Lin Mo and his granddaughter team up to hunt soul beasts here.

However, the most crucial point is that this forest is home to many earth dragon-type soul beasts, and some lucky people have even encountered sub-dragon soul beasts with stronger bloodlines here.

The types of spirit beasts living here perfectly match Lin Mo's needs for his second spirit ring.

As for true dragon soul beasts, forget about it.

That level of existence could never appear in this artificially controlled Soul Hunting Forest.

If you really want to find one, the only possible place is a gathering place for spirit beasts like the Star Dou Great Forest.

Incidentally, this Soul Hunting Forest is also one of the places most frequently visited by the disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

Because of the inherent characteristics of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul, the Soul Rings they need are mostly locked onto various Earth Dragon Soul Beasts.

It's not that I don't want to find wyverns and true dragons, it's just that the latter two are too rare and extremely difficult to hunt.

Therefore, they had no choice but to settle for choosing soul rings produced by some high-quality earth dragon soul beasts.

As for his choice of his second spirit ring, Lin Mo had already given a clear answer three days ago when he asked Elder Ye about it.

They hope to obtain a soul ring from a dragon-type soul beast with a slightly stronger bloodline, or a sub-dragon-type soul beast with a slightly weaker bloodline.

He did not choose to further enhance Charmander's flames.

Lin Mo made this decision after careful consideration.

Because he knew very well that when the little fire dragon's soul power level reached level 30, it would undergo its first evolution, transforming from a little fire dragon into a fire dragon.

At that time, he will need a reason that is reasonable enough to convince most people.

While the cause of evolution can be forcibly attributed to the mutation of the martial soul, the mutation of the martial soul must require some kind of trigger, right?

In this situation, a spirit ring from a powerful earth dragon spirit beast, or even a slightly weaker sub-dragon spirit beast, becomes the perfect excuse.

The idea that a martial soul undergoes a beneficial mutation after absorbing such a spirit ring, due to the absorption of dragon bloodline, is entirely plausible in the Douluo Continent.

The reason he thought in this direction stemmed from Charmander's final evolution—Charizard.

If we take the Martial Soul Bloodline system of Douluo Continent as an analogy, the process of inheriting Martial Soul Bloodlines is somewhat similar to the Pokémon "Egg Group" concept that Lin Mo knew in his previous life.

Like the fire-breathing dragon, although it is often joked that "it is not a dragon and cannot breathe fire", judging from the classification of its egg groups - "monster" group and "dragon" group, it can still be associated with "dragon".

This can also be seen from the attribute change of Mega Charizard X, one of the two Mega Evolutions of Charizard—its attribute changed directly from Fire+Flying to Fire+Dragon.

This resulted in the Little Fire Dragon being forced to manifest in the form of a Martial Soul due to the influence of the local rules of Douluo Continent.

From a certain perspective, it can actually be categorized as a "dragon-type martial soul," but it is more often jokingly referred to as a "fire lizard" in private.

It was based on these considerations that Lin Mo ultimately decided to choose a soul ring from an earth dragon or a sub-dragon type soul beast for his second soul ring.

This paves the way for Charmander's future evolution and prepares a perfect excuse to shut everyone else up.
