In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

Chapter 40 Iron-Backed Azure Flame Bear (Coming Soon, Coming Soon)

Mu Qiaosheng's words drew a resentful look from Lin Hai. "I'm glad you didn't call him stubborn," Lin Hai thought, "otherwise I would have definitely argued with him. He hates it when people call him stubborn." (A true reflection of himself)

Mu Jiabao nodded in agreement, "I can vouch for it, Ahai is really amazing!"

Lin Qianshu: Is my son really that strong? But my son is amazing!

The sparring match unilaterally initiated by Lin Hai and Mu Qiaosheng came to an end.

……

Time flies, and two years and three months later, Lin Hai and Mu Jiabao are about to enter their fourth year of university. Lin Hai's soul power has finally achieved a breakthrough. A month later, Mu Jiabao followed suit and broke through as well.

Lin Hai carefully studied his and Mu Jiabao's current data.

By comparing Mu Jiabao's and his mother Kahn's martial souls, Lin Hai discovered that Mu Jiabao's martial soul had indeed changed after absorbing his first spirit ring.

Both being spirit possession techniques, Mu Jiabao's true form armor claws are sharper than Kahn's. Also, the flames from Mu Jiabao's body have a more intense, burning sensation.

After Lin Hai explained these changes to Kahn, he immediately decided to entrust Lin Hai with the entire task of selecting Mu Jiabao's spirit rings.

Lin Hai then inquired about the specifics of the Raging Flame Bear lineage from Kahn. This time, he learned the secrets of the Raging Flame Bear lineage. Kahn was truly going all out for his son's future.

Logically speaking, the fact that such a family-inherited martial spirit has been passed down from the past to the present must mean that they have their own secrets.

Their lineage of the Raging Flame Bear has a history of nearly four hundred years. Each generation has faced great hardship, with only three or four people typically able to awaken the Raging Flame Bear Martial Soul. However, the quality of the Raging Flame Bear Martial Soul is not particularly high, resulting in a situation where it is difficult for the lineage to flourish.

Sometimes, they themselves don't understand it, so they just let it be.

Hearing this, Lin Hai thought to himself: Goodness, as expected of a bear as a martial soul, the attribute of being lazy to move has not been missed at all!

So, they themselves don't know the problem with their own martial spirit!

"However, there is one thing I can confirm: our Wrathful Bear Martial Soul has the bloodline of ancient soul beasts. This has been passed down orally from our ancestors, but it's not exactly an open secret."

After listening, Lin Hai's lips twitched. This... is this the secret of the Wrathful Bear lineage that you were hesitating about?

Well, I still have to keep investigating. Sigh! I thought things would get easier!

"Oh, by the way, since ancient times, every member of our family who awakens the Wrathful Bear Martial Soul has gone to a certain place to obtain a bear-type Soul Ring."

"For example, I obtained my third spirit ring there!"

"Oh~" That's a secret.

Afterwards, Kahn patted Lin Hai on the shoulder, handing over the task of investigating everything to him, and then happily went out to carry out her mission.

……

Some time later, they embarked on the journey to hunt for spirit rings again, but this time there was one more person: Mu Jiabao's mother, Kahn.

This time, they're hunting spirit beasts that are seven or eight hundred years old, so they need a spirit master with even higher combat power to back them up. Moreover, they're going to a mountain range where there are spirit beasts suitable for Mu Jiabao. As for Lin Hai's spirit ring selection, it's said that the mountain range also has plant-type spirit beasts.

Lin Hai believed in Mu Jiabao's luck, so he decided to try his luck as well.

……

"We've arrived!" The Golden Iron Mountains are located at the border between the Kingdom of Silves and the Northern Province, forming a natural boundary between the two regions. North of the Golden Iron Mountains lies Northern City, to the east is Sunset Forest, and further east is Heavenly Dou City.

"Xiao Hai, tell me! What kind of spirit beast are we looking for after coming all this way?"

"Well, actually, you'd have to ask Aunt Kahn about that."

"Ahem, the main reason we're here is to hunt a special group within the Golden Iron Mountains—the Ironback Azure Flame Bear!"

"This is a bear-type spirit beast with a primary metal attribute and a secondary fire attribute. They usually live in groups! Of course, some do live alone!"

"As far as I know, these kinds of soul beasts can provide the soul master who absorbs them with a soul skill that offers both defensive capabilities and a slight boost. The specifics depend on the person absorbing it!"

After Kahn finished speaking, Mu Qiaosheng and Lin Qianshu turned their attention to Lin Hai.

Sure enough, compared to Kahn, they probably had more faith in Lin Hai, who had a higher IQ and a greater knowledge base.

"Well, after learning some things from Aunt Kahn, I found that this Ironback Azure Flame Bear is very important to Jiabao, and the sooner he absorbs it, the better."

"I didn't know before, but no matter what you say, Jia Bao's first spirit ring is this!" After saying that, she glanced at Kahn with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

What a careless person! Knowing full well that Lin Hai was searching for bear-type spirit beasts, she overlooked this matter that had such a profound impact on her son. Sigh! Thinking back to when Kahn broke through to the Spirit Master level, her father and brother actively sought her out to obtain a spirit ring. Now that I think about it, her family probably knew about this aspect of her nature!

He couldn't elaborate on the reasons further, as saying too much would only make things worse. After all, he only had a guess about whether it could promote the evolution of Mu Jiabao's bloodline. He couldn't be too certain! After all, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

Kibashi Sho: "And yours?"

"Anything's fine with me!"

"This time, I mainly want a control-type soul skill, which is a vine-like plant soul beast called Azure Vine! I originally quite liked a plant called Ghost Vine, but then I thought about it and decided against it."

"If we can't find that, there's another one: the Royal Spirit Tree. This kind of soul beast has a well-developed root system, and its roots are also its main means of attack."

Lin Hai had considered hunting down the Ghost Vine Soul Beast, a plant-type soul beast that was considered terrifying even in the Douluo Continent.

However, Lin Hai both craved and dared not touch that terrifying neurotoxin.

To reiterate, he has no resources to try. He only has one chance to succeed, with no cost for trial and error. If he wants to pursue a higher level, he must steadfastly follow the path of life.

Otherwise, with his half-baked Blue Silver King bloodline, breaking through to the Soul Douluo level would be the best he could hope for.

The quality of a spirit determines the upper limit of a spirit master; otherwise, why would so many spirit masters look down on the Blue Silver Grass spirit?

Don't be fooled by how fast he and Mu Jiabao are leveling up, reaching level six in just over two years. That's due to his tireless hard work and the help of external factors, such as the Earth Core Emulsion obtained from hunting White Jade Bamboo last time, which they've already used up two-thirds of.

Since the Ghost Vine wouldn't work, Lin Hai remembered another spirit beast that was also quite good: the Azure Vine, the spirit of Zhi Lin, the teacher of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

The Azure Vine is out of the question, so it's the Imperial Spirit Tree!
