Douluo Continent: Gourmet Prisoner

"Sister Nan, eat this." Shi Yu opened his palm, and a golden fruit with a faint spiritual light on its skin lay quietly. It was the Golden Spirit Fruit that he had obtained from Shrek Academy.

Jiang Nannan's long eyelashes trembled slightly as her gaze fell on the fruit, her brows furrowing slightly: "What is this?"

She could sense a warm yet powerful fluctuation of soul energy emanating from the fruit, far surpassing any ordinary rare treasure.

"Golden Spirit-Nourishing Fruit, a rare and precious material that can promote the evolution of martial souls." Shi Yu's tone was very calm, as if he were holding just an ordinary wild fruit.

Upon hearing this, not only Jiang Nannan, but even Tang Ya, who had come over from the side, gasped in shock.

The evolution of a martial soul is a rare and precious opportunity, let alone a treasure that can directly trigger evolution; its value is simply immeasurable.

Jiang Nannan immediately withdrew her hand and waved it repeatedly, saying, "This is too precious, I can't accept it." Although she, Shi Yu, and Tang Ya were partners, she felt really bad about receiving such a generous gift for no reason.

"It's useless to us." Shi Yu shrugged, his tone casual. "I've eaten better ones, and Zhu Lu and Xiao Yutong have eaten them too."

He had barely finished speaking when a pitiful voice interrupted, "What about me? You didn't even tell me."

Tang Ya pouted, hands on her hips, a look of accusation on her face as if she'd been forgotten. "You all get so much good stuff, but I don't! It's so unfair!"

Shi Yu glanced at her helplessly, "Sister Xiaoya, even with this fruit, you still can't evolve into the Dark Blue Silver Emperor."

He paused, then patiently explained, "I told you before that what you need is a genuine Blue Silver Emperor to awaken the bloodline within your martial soul. As for this fruit, didn't I mention it to you?"

"no."

"Maybe I forgot."

"Waaah, you must be tired, that's why you gave me such a perfunctory reply."

"Where did you learn that?"

"Look, I only said a few more words, and my brother is like this. Never mind, I was too talkative."

"So where did you learn this from?!"

"Never mind, brother is always this carefree. It's your sister who's being petty."

"I was wrong, Sister Xiaoya, please stop using your divine power."

"You know you were wrong, right?"

"Master, your disciple knows he was wrong, please stop reading."

The grievance on Tang Ya's face vanished instantly. She chuckled, patted Jiang Nannan's shoulder, and her change of expression was astonishingly fast.

"I was just joking to lighten the mood."

She then winked at Jiang Nannan, her tone slightly urging, "Nannan, just accept it! Look, none of us need it. You're one of us too. If you become stronger, it'll benefit everyone!"

With Shi Yu and Tang Ya's combined persuasion, Jiang Nannan's hesitation gradually dissipated.

Looking into their sincere eyes, she glanced down at the golden fruit and finally nodded, carefully accepting the Golden Spirit Fruit.

The fruit was warm to the touch, and a warm current instantly spread from my fingertips to my entire body.

Jiang Nannan took a deep breath and, amidst the expectant gazes of everyone, put the Golden Spirit-Nourishing Fruit into her mouth.

The peel is as thin as a cicada's wing. With a gentle bite, the sweet juice bursts in the mouth, and the rich soul power surges into her meridians like a rushing river.

Almost the instant the fruit entered her stomach, a soft white light emanated from Jiang Nannan's body. The light grew stronger and stronger, enveloping her entire body, with a faint halo flowing around her.

Shi Yu looked at the layer of white light, lost in thought.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Nannan had previously eaten the Gemstone Meat from the world of Gourmet Devil, an ingredient containing a massive amount of life energy that had already honed her physique to far surpass that of other Soul Masters of the same level, allowing her to absorb the power of the Golden Spirit Fruit so quickly. Back then, it took Zhu Lu and Xiao Yutong quite a while to absorb the Golden Spirit Fruit.

The white light of evolution lingered for a full quarter of an hour before slowly beginning to recede.

The moment the light faded, Jiang Nannan slowly opened her eyes, a sharp glint flashing in her pupils, and the fluctuations of her soul power were much stronger than before.

"Nannan, what has your martial soul evolved into?" Tang Ya couldn't contain her curiosity any longer and moved closer to her, asking eagerly.

Shi Yu, Zhu Lu, and Xiao Yutong, who were not far away, also looked over, their eyes full of anticipation.

Jiang Nannan felt the earth-shattering changes within her martial soul, a faint smile playing on her lips. She took a deep breath and uttered a low shout: "Martial Soul Possession!"

A pale pink soul power surged from her body, and the phantom of a martial soul slowly appeared behind her.

It was a standing rabbit, with a lithe and upright body, long and powerful limbs, relatively long ears, a streamlined decoration on its head made of pink and yellow, pink eyes, yellow ovals in the center of its ears, a combination of shorts and sneakers for its lower body, and yellow paw pads.

Its eyes are sharp, and its legs are slightly raised, as if it could unleash a powerful force at any moment.

"It has turned into a standing rabbit, which I call the Kick Ace." Jiang Nannan's voice was filled with excitement, clearly very satisfied with this new martial soul form.

However, Shi Yu, who was standing next to him, was stunned when he saw the phantom. He had a million complaints he wanted to vent.

What the heck is this rabbit that looks so much like Cinderace?!

Apart from the fact that the iconic red hair of the original Blazing Ace has been replaced with the pink unique to Jiang Nannan's martial soul, from her figure and posture to even her eager fighting spirit, she is almost exactly the same!

Shi Yu's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but wail inwardly.

Why is the evolution brought about by this Golden Spirit Fruit so strange?

First it was Xiaoyutong's Snow God Moth, then Zhulu's Elune, and now Jiang Nannan's Kick Ace.

What is this?

Volcano (Douluo Continent form), Elune (Douluo Continent form), Flame Ace (Douluo Continent form)?

Then what am I?

Pokémon Trainer?

No, my skills are all Pokémon skills too.

In other words, when Xiaoyutong, Zhulu, and Nannan are defeated, I will fight as a Pokémon.

Shiyu's Pokémon has been defeated. Please send out your next Pokémon. Wait, Shiyu, why are you rolling up your sleeves?

Wait, that's where Pokémon competitions are held. Why are you going in there?

Wait, what do you mean you're a Pokémon too?

Huh? Why can you actually unleash Pokémon moves?

Um, congratulations to player Shiyu for defeating his opponent's Pokémon.

Congratulations to Shi Yu on becoming the champion trainer of Douluo Continent!
