Douluo: The Fallen Garuda, Feathers Crossing the Mortal Realm

Fu Yu looked out into the distant forest and found it very quiet, with no rustling sounds of soul beasts running around.

High-level soul beasts have a very strong sense of territory, and generally no soul beast will venture in before the aura of the Crimson Flame Bird has completely dissipated.

He sat cross-legged in front of the spirit ring, his spirit power flowing through his body, and his consciousness began to guide the spirit ring toward him.

Even though it has only been a thousand years, the soul power attached to the soul ring is still quite formidable.

The moment the violent, magma-like soul power entered his body, it was like a wild horse that had broken free, charging wildly in all directions, causing Fu Yu's meridians and muscles to swell and ache, with a faint pain.

However, this current state is entirely within Fu Yu's expectations, and is even much better than anticipated.

If a soul ring of around 1100 years is like this, then Fu Yu's estimate might be a bit conservative. He could at least add another 200 years to his guess.

Fu Yu silently recited the Sword Heart Technique in his heart. In just a moment, the soul power in his body became orderly, like a ragtag army encountering an unparalleled general. The abnormal soul power surging into the soul ring could no longer cause any chaos and was digested bit by bit.

Under the catalysis of the soul ring's soul power, Fu Yu's body began to emit crackling sounds, his muscles gradually developed definition, and his body began to be enlarged proportionally.

It's like compressing a growth process that takes several years into a short period of time, allowing a person to grow up in an extremely short period of time.

"call--"

As Fu Yu exhaled a long breath, his azure eyes opened, radiating divine light.

The aura of soul power on the body's surface began to rise steadily as the absorption of the soul ring ended.

A series of faint sounds of bottleneck breakthroughs echoed in Fu Yu's ears and in his heart.

Level 14!

A 1,100-year-old soul ring directly boosted Fu Yu's soul power significantly.

Excluding the soul power accumulated from cultivating the Sword Heart Technique for more than half a month, it can be said that the Crimson Flame Bird's soul ring directly broke through three levels, saving nearly half a year of cultivation time.

Feeling the surge of soul power within his body, Fu Yu let out a low shout.

"Martial Soul Possession!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an exceptionally dazzling golden-red divine bird emerged from behind Fu Yu, swirling and dancing around it with blazing crimson-gold flames.

As the martial soul was attached to the body, a magnificent gold and red arm armor extended from the palms to the elbows, and gold and red patterns were also rendered on the clothing.

Aside from that, the only unusual changes were in Fu Yu's eyes and hair.

Her originally azure eyes turned into a fiery crimson after releasing her martial soul, and her ear-length gray hair transformed into waist-length hair with a white-red gradient.

Fu Yu carefully examined the gilded arm armor on his hands, then tugged at his long, white-red gradient hair. The creation formed from his soul power didn't cause him much pain.

"The arm armor looks somewhat like the Fallen Immortal, but it's more like the Blazing Feather form. Perhaps the complete version will only be revealed after the artificial Fallen is activated in the future."

"But thankfully, I'm quite satisfied with the half-orc form of the Beast Soul Master with Martial Soul Possession, since it doesn't quite resemble the form found in Douluo Continent."

After observing the changes in himself, he turned his attention to his spirit rings.

To know the specific effects of a soul skill, it's best to try it out yourself.

As soon as Fu Yu thought about it, the pale purple first spirit ring floating in front of him lit up instantly.

At the same time, a surge of power began to flow within Fu Yu's body, and even more intense crimson flames ignited on the gilded arm armor.

"Attack power, defense power, and speed are each increased by 50%, and fire power is doubled. The effect lasts for one hour."

"Not bad. From now on, let's choose amplification-type soul skills."

As for attack and defense skills, they are of little use to Fu Yu.

The sword forms in the Taixu Sword Qi consist of four forms: Guard, Transform, Activate, and Open, totaling twenty-one moves. The profoundness of its moves can be described as a complete martial art.

In addition, with the Inch Heart Fist technique summarized by Immortal Fu Hua, these things are enough for Fu Yu to study for countless years, so there is no need to acquire any other so-called offensive soul skills.

Fu Yu was extremely satisfied with his gains this time, and with a thought, he retrieved his martial soul and soul ring.

With the matter settled, Fu Yu should return to Tiandou City. He will then have to travel for several more months before reaching the Sun Moon Empire.

However, before Fu Yu could take two steps, a cry from his sea of ​​consciousness made him stop.

With a thought, a palm-sized, white and red Crimson Flame Bird appeared on Fu Yu's shoulder.

As soon as it appeared, the Crimson Flame Bird flapped its wings and charged towards Fu Yu's face.

Fu Yu could only watch helplessly and amusedly as the angry little guy casually blocked with his hand.

This Crimson Flame Bird is the soul that Yu Duchen collected before, and it appeared in the outside world as a soul spirit body by using Fu Yu's own Crimson Flame Bird soul ring as a link.

Without the supply of Fu Yu's soul power, the Crimson Flame Bird's attack power is about the same as that of an ordinary sparrow, and its autonomy is completely under Fu Yu's control.

As for playing along with the Crimson Flame Bird's antics, that was also a result of Fu Yu's indulgence.

After all, we did such a thing to them, so we can't allow them to be angry.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's my fault."

"Since things have come to this, you'll be working for me from now on."

The Crimson Flame Bird seemed to understand something. It looked at Fu Yu, pointed its wing at its own corpse on the ground, and then chirped twice.

"Good, at least you know about cremation."

Fu Yu chuckled, and a burst of crimson-gold flames shot out from his hand, transforming into a blazing stream of fire that incinerated the crimson flame bird's corpse on the ground into ashes.

In fact, Fu Yu knew that the Crimson Flame Bird's thoughts were like those of a three or four-year-old child; it simply didn't want its corpse to become food for other soul beasts, nothing more.

Fu Yu naturally complied with this simple request.

After watching Fu Yu finish doing all this, the Crimson Flame Bird chirped in satisfaction.

Then it jumped from Fu Yu's shoulder to the top of the gray-haired man's head and sat down comfortably.

Fu Yu was happy to let it be; the soul spirit body had almost no weight, so it wouldn't have any impact.

Having finished everything, Fu Yu began to move quickly out of Sunset Forest. With the significant improvement in his cultivation and physique, his speed had increased considerably.

"By the way, what should I call you from now on? The Crimson Flame Bird is a race, so it's not good to have a name for it."

"How about we name him Danzhu?"

"grumble!"

"Forget it, I don't think you can carry this name. How about Chi Yuan instead? It suits you better."

"Chirp chirp chirp!!!"

Ignoring Chi Yuan's slight resistance from above, Fu Yu directly assigned her name.

Next, he needs to return to Tiandou City to find a merchant guild that can provide access to the Sun Moon Empire.

Although the three great empires were on high alert against the Sun Moon Empire, the advanced soul-guided technology of the other side was something the royal family could not give up.

Therefore, some chambers of commerce seized this opportunity and made a big deal out of it, buying soul tools from the Sun Moon Empire at low prices and then bringing them back to the Three Kingdoms to sell at high prices.

The three empires tacitly accepted this approach, and in the face of interests, many things could be compromised.

Among them, one chamber of commerce stands out the most, its reputation lasting for millennia.

Its name is Jiubao Chamber of Commerce.
