Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

Leng Yaozhu asked in confusion, "These four types of soul beasts cover almost all cultivation paths, and you didn't like any of them?"

“Each one is a little lacking.” Zhao Xuanzhen said frankly, “The true self is an extremely comprehensive martial soul. The first soul spirit lays the foundation for a soul master’s life. Focusing on only one aspect of body, spirit, speed, or attributes is a waste of talent.”

Teacher, I hope that the first soul spirit is the Yin-Yang attribute that matches my true self, and at the same time possesses certain physical and mental abilities, similar to the golden-haired lion mastiff that dominates the domain and ignores bloodline suppression.

With my spiritual power, fusing with a two-thousand-year-old soul is not a problem. I'll use this limit of cultivation as the selection criterion, including those who resist forming contracts with human soul masters...

Unyielding spirit!

Chapter 4, First Soul Spirit: The Auspicious Beast Capybara (Part 2)

"An indomitable spirit!?"

Before Leng Yaozhu could react, Bai Haoze and Bai Zhicen shouted out, their saintly faces shattered, practically screaming "No way!"

Those who belong to the family know their own affairs best. The name "Unyielding Soul" comes from the fact that most of them would rather risk their lives than merge with a Soul Master. A considerable number of Unyielding Souls have even overpowered the Soul Masters who merged with them.

While Leng Yaozhu was away on official business, Zhao Xuanzhen was left in the care of the Bai sisters. They had accompanied the boy all his life and couldn't bear to see him stray from the right path. The Titan Ape and the Evil Eye were both top-tier soul spirits, enough to secure a bright future; there was no need for him to risk his life challenging the Unyielding Soul Spirit.

"Beasts have an indomitable spirit, and humans have an unyielding will."

“Since ancient times, humans have conquered soul beasts,” Zhao Xuanzhen said. “Big Sister Bai, Little Sister Bai, you should worry more about that soul spirit.”

"You've always had your own ideas since you were little!"

The Bai sisters sighed with regret and gave up trying to persuade him. They were among the people who knew Zhao Xuanzhen best in the world, and once they made up their minds, they had to do it!

Leng Yaozhu took everything in, thinking to herself:

My disciple Xuanzhen has the potential to become a Limit Douluo!

The tranquil environment of the Spirit Pagoda did not extinguish the innate ambition of a strong person. With top-notch talent combined with a fearless will, Leng Yaozhu seemed to have already seen Zhao Xuanzhen's limitless future!

She respected Zhao Xuanzhen's wishes and used the authority of the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda to quickly screen for eligible soul spirits. One soul beast after another flashed by, and the last one shone brightly!

The ancient forest on the soul guide screen revealed a soul beast with a round head, a streamlined body, short and stout limbs, and a black and white mark in the center of its brow that indicated its yin and yang attributes.

What's most astonishing is this guy's current state: he's actually riding on the head of a ten-thousand-year-old golden crocodile king, drifting leisurely!

"Capybara?"

Zhao Xuanzhen's brain froze for two and a half seconds. He checked again, still not believing it, and the creature that looked like a kiwi with four chopsticks stuck in it was indeed a capybara!

“Lingrui water capybara, six hundred years of cultivation, number ninety-nine unyielding soul.” Leng Yaozhu’s red lips parted slightly.

"This soul beast is very, very, very special. The Golden Crocodile King, with its volatile and easily angered nature, has unprecedentedly allowed other soul beasts to step on its head."

The Spirit Capybara, a unique auspicious beast among the countless souls in the Spirit Pagoda!

As they spoke, the Lingrui Capybara slowly stepped off the Golden Crocodile King and then mounted the Azure Shadow Divine Eagle.

Riding the golden crocodile, we ride the wind and waves; soaring high on the green eagle!

Auspicious beasts make a grand entrance!

"Thousands of years ago, the final war broke out. The Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire fled overseas. The victorious Sun Moon Empire established the Sun Moon Federation, and the Douluo Continent entered a new stage of peaceful development."

Leng Yaozhu said, "Even after the Douluo Continent was unified, the human world never stopped. They continued to research soul guidance technology, and mecha and battle armor technologies gradually improved. Ferocious beasts were no longer a fearsome existence."

Soul Master scholars believe that the core reason for the decline of Soul Beasts is Soul Guidance Technology, while others have proposed another view: Luck.

The decline of the soul beasts was actually due to the sacrifice of the Emperor Beast to the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao. The soul beasts' fortune was devoured by the human fortune, and from then on, the human world prospered in everything, while the soul beasts fell into decline.

Of course, the soul beasts did consider saving themselves; for example, the Beast God Di Tian attempted to cultivate a second Emperor-level auspicious beast…

"Wishful thinking." Zhao Xuanzhen hit the nail on the head. "The Imperial Beast is a born emperor, unique in heaven and earth."

“Yes,” Leng Yaozhu said in a deep voice, “Xingdou failed, and Ditian was unable to raise a second imperial auspicious beast, but in the process, he found an auspicious beast that protected a forest, the Lingrui capybara.”

While the auspiciousness of the Spirit Capybara may not surpass that of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, it far exceeds that of the Golden Tortoiseshell. After its cultivation surpasses 100,000 years, it can stabilize a portion of the fortune of the Soul Beast race, making it a lifeline for the Star Dou Great Forest.

“Now, it has fallen into the hands of the Spirit Pagoda,” Zhao Xuanzhen said.

"In order to acquire more high-quality soul spirits, the Spirit Transmission Tower Master of that generation joined forces with the Sun and Moon Federation to launch a surprise attack on the Star Dou Great Forest." Leng Yaozhu's expression was solemn.

"All the titled Douluo of the Spirit Pagoda participated in the battle, the Hall Master and Vice Hall Master of the War God Hall and the eighteen War Gods went into battle together, four of the eight legions were dispatched, and many other continental forces responded."

Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. Moreover, the Star Dou ferocious beasts have launched beast tides more than once. That one can be considered a powerful counterattack by mankind against the Star Dou Great Forest.

Among the Star Dou ferocious beasts, only Di Tian condensed dual soul cores. There were a total of six four-word Battle Armor Masters and Limit Douluo participating in the battle, as well as more than thirty three-word Battle Armor Masters and Title Douluo.

The boost that battle armor provides to soul masters is truly astonishing; even the most ferocious beast in the world, Di Tian, ​​was defeated under the siege of Limit Douluo.

Humans did not want to fight the ferocious beasts to the death, so the two sides reached a ceasefire agreement. The ferocious beasts swore not to step out of the core area and harm the human world. Humans preserved the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest and kidnapped a huge number of soul beasts to make soul spirits after the war.

After this battle, the Star Dou Great Forest no longer has the auspicious beast, the Spirit Water Dolphin, but the Spirit Pagoda now has the indomitable spirit number ninety-nine.

The Bai sisters exchanged a glance, seeing the sighs of regret on each other's faces. They had witnessed firsthand the high walls erected by the Spirit Pagoda. The Star Dou Great Forest had been domesticated by humans, and sooner or later, humans would once again wage war. At that time, the Star Dou ferocious beasts would either die in battle, dropping their soul rings and soul bones, or become soul spirits attached to soul masters.

Zhao Xuanzhen's expression was intriguing. Leng Yaozhu's words were precisely the bloody history of the Douluo Continent II: The Legend of the Dragon King, a time of endless hatred.

“Auspicious beasts often awaken some wonderful and powerful abilities innately, such as the power of destiny of the three-eyed golden lion and the invincible shield of the golden hawksbill turtle. The auspicious capybara has near-perfect yin and yang attributes and has a talent called stability, which ignores the bloodline suppression caused by any creature.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuanzhen's eyes suddenly lit up. Leng Yaozhu realized that her disciple was indeed moved, so she directly snatched the Lingrui Water Capybara from the back of the Azure Shadow Divine Eagle and made it appear in the room.

"The Spirit Capybara has a stronger and more resilient body than ordinary soul beasts, and its mental strength is the most outstanding. With six hundred years of cultivation, it can already establish a mental link with soul masters and communicate without barriers."

At the level of auspicious beasts, only the main and deputy tower masters of the Spirit Transmission Tower have the authority to command them.

Because of the powerful attributes of the Spirit Capybara and its auspicious fortune that can bless its host with everything going smoothly, two or three Spirit Tower Soul Masters with Yin and Yang attributes still attempted to fuse with the Spirit Capybara, but without exception, they were strongly rejected by the Spirit Capybara.

A soul contract being resisted by a soul beast is a life-threatening matter, so they reluctantly gave it up. Xuanzhen, your teacher respects your choice, but only suggests that you first communicate with the Spirit Capybara spiritually and try your best to persuade it to merge.

"Let me try."

As Zhao Xuanzhen drew a beam of spiritual energy toward the Spiritual Capybara, his mind drifted back to memories of his past life. He wondered, "Speaking of Kapibala, is there really such a strong feeling of rejection?"

"Hello, Lingrui Capybara."

Hello, human.

The spiritual connection was successfully established, and the voice of the Lingrui capybara entered Zhao Xuanzhen's ears. It was soft and sweet, with little variation in tone.

"I want you to become my spirit."

"No."

The man got straight to the point, and the pig simply refused.

An indomitable spirit, indeed indomitable...

Zhao Xuanzhen's gaze was solemn. With her stable talent that ignores bloodline suppression, Lingrui Water Capybara was enough to stand out, not to mention her suitable abilities!

Unleash your true self!

Plan B activated! The allure is irresistible, come to my bowl!

"TunTun," Zhao Xuanzhen advised, "Our perfect match, exploring the principles of Yin and Yang together, is a hundred times better than being confined to a virtual space. Wouldn't that be wonderful!"

"better not."

The capybara glanced at Zhao, remaining as unmoved as a stone maiden. In the past, when things reached this point, many soul masters chose to give up, for while a mythical beast was precious, life was far more valuable!

"What if I really want it?"

"First courtesy, then force," Zhao Xuanzhen took a step closer, his shadow looming over the Lingrui capybara. His gaze was undisguised, and anyone could feel the indomitable will within him. "I have plenty of strength and means!"

The gaze, so fierce and ruthless, more greedy than a rat encountering rice and more ferocious than a dog encountering excrement, made Lingrui's capybara body stiffen.

"You insist..."

After a moment of standoff, the Lingrui capybara slowly spoke:

"also."

Who says capybaras are unyielding? These capybaras are incredibly flexible!

Here are my answers to everyone's questions: It's a genius-themed story, without a system, with a complete outline and around six female leads. The Silver Dragon King had to be involved, so Gu Yue and Na'er's situations differ somewhat from the original story. After all, no one wants their wife to have been someone else's childhood sweetheart, and a reasonable explanation will be given later.

The protagonist's true martial soul is of Yin and Yang attributes, and he possesses the Daoist arts of Bagua and Qimen from his past life. He will not pursue the path of physical cultivation that relies on brute force to prove his Dao. While proving one's Dao through brute force is commendable, cultivating body, spirit, and attributes simultaneously would offer the protagonist a far greater scope for advancement.

There are four spirits. The first spirit is a mythical beast called a capybara, whose power is greater than that of a golden hawksbill turtle but less than that of a three-eyed golden lion. The second spirit is a yin-yang attribute spirit beast that has appeared in the original series, which some friends have already guessed.

Don't worry about the fan-created characters; there are only a few minor characters whose backstories are being supplemented. The Legend of the Dragon King is much more complex than Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect, and the protagonist's starting point is the Spirit Pagoda, completely different from the starting point of Angelic Glory's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

During the new book period, I will update 4K words daily, starting at noon. Thank you for your support!

Chapter 5 Qi follows the mind, ever-changing

A pig who can't refuse being forced by others!

If you force her, Tun Tun will do anything!

With a mindset that living is good and dying is also acceptable, the Lingrui capybara slowly moved to Zhao Xuanzhen's side, its body radiating a dazzling light and exuding an aura of yin and yang attributes.

As if sensing something, Zhao Xuanzhen raised his right hand and gently placed it on the yin-yang mark between the eyebrows of the Lingrui capybara. Yin-yang energy surged up, as if two black and white dragons were dancing wildly around the man and the beast.

Seeing this, Leng Yaozhu and the Bai sisters couldn't help but show their joy. Having merged with several souls, they were naturally aware of the current situation.

The unique auspicious beast of the Spirit Pagoda, the ninety-ninth indomitable soul, is forging a contract with a human!

After a while, the Lingrui capybara let out a whimper, and its adorable body, like flowing water, gradually merged into Zhao Xuanzhen. During this process, the fluctuations of the black and white energy became exceptionally intense.

The moment the Spirit Capybara fully merged into Zhao Xuanzhen's body, all the air currents surged into Zhao Xuanzhen's body like rivers flowing into the sea. A bright yellow halo, several times brighter than an ordinary hundred-year soul ring, rose up fiercely, with the special light gold patterns of the auspicious beast engraved on its surface.

Soul power advancement, level thirteen!

With the contract successfully completed, Zhao Xuanzhen breathed a sigh of relief. No one likes to be crushed into a roadside creature by the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings for no reason. Neither Zhenwo nor Lingrui the capybara were afraid of the bloodline pressure, and half of the heavy stone hanging in their hearts was finally lifted.

At this point, a smart person would ask, "What is the other half?"

Trident warning!

"Xuanzhen, congratulations on possessing your first soul spirit! Your future is bright!" the Bai sisters said with smiles.

"Without a teacher, I wouldn't even be qualified to see the Lingrui capybara."

Zhao Xuanzhen waved his hand and smiled, saying that only the main and deputy tower masters of the Spirit Transmission Tower had the right to command auspicious beasts, and the prerequisite for fusing with the auspicious capybara was actually Leng Yaozhu.

"Alright, no need to flatter me. Ultimately, fusing souls is up to you." Leng Yaozhu's lips curled slightly. "Since you're here, how about challenging the Spirit Ascension Platform?"

"Okay, let's try out the soul skill's effect. It'll be a good opportunity to help Tun Tun ascend to higher spirit levels."

Zhao Xuanzhen stretched his muscles and bones, feeling refreshed. After his martial soul awakened, the yin and yang energies hidden in his body went from dormant to active. He was also eager to witness the power of his past life's skills combined with his current martial soul!

The Spirit Ascension Platform is a semi-real, semi-virtual space created by the Spirit Transfer Tower, inhabited by countless soul beasts, providing Federation soul masters with combat experience.

In addition to gaining combat experience, Soul Masters can absorb 10% of the energy by killing Soul Beasts on the Spirit Ascension Platform.

If Zhao Xuanzhen kills a hundred-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, his first spirit ring will directly increase his cultivation by ten years. If Leng Yaozhu kills it, all nine spirit rings will be distributed together, increasing his cultivation by about one year on average.

Therefore, if the Soul Master himself is capable of supporting a high-level Soul Ring, the earlier the Soul Spirit ascends, the simpler it is.

The True Self Martial Soul provides a powerful body and an outstanding spirit. Zhao Xuanzhen has no problem with enduring a thousand-year-old soul spirit. He plans to make the Lingrui Water Capybara leap over four hundred years of cultivation and advance to the first soul ring in one fell swoop!

Leng Yaozhu pressed the button, and the wall slowly cracked open, revealing a metal cabinet that slid out. Its design was rather ominous, and it looked somewhat like a coffin, with just the right width to fit a person.

Zhao Xuanzhen lay down in the metal cabinet, and suction cups quickly appeared around him, fitting snugly against his body. Leng Yaozhu's gentle voice then rang out:

"Xuanzhen, you are a first-ring Soul Master and are about to go to the Elementary Spirit Ascension Platform, which allows Soul Masters below the fourth-ring Soul Master to enter. Most of the beasts there are ten-year or hundred-year Soul Beasts, and occasionally a thousand-year Soul Beast will appear."

The Spirit Ascension Platform is accessed via brainwaves. In theory, once one's mental strength breaks through to the Spirit Connection Realm, there is no longer any danger to life. However, a massive shock could severely damage one's mental sea. If you encounter a spirit beast you cannot defeat, remember to press the distress signal to escape the Spirit Ascension Platform.

"clear."

The metal cabinet slid into the wall, and the journey to the Spirit Ascension Platform began. The last thing Zhao Xuanzhen saw was the Bai sisters clenching their fists in encouragement before the world went completely black.

Primary Ascension Platform.

Ancient trees reach straight into the sky, surrounded by vast shrubs, making it impossible to find a proper path. The sky is clear and the clouds are light, with the sea of ​​trees stretching endlessly, and the green of the primeval forest is boundless.

Zhao Xuanzhen took a deep breath. The fresh air of nature was invigorating, and the abundant life energy made him feel happy. The primary Spirit Ascension Platform was equivalent to the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest in the past, an ancient scene that could not be seen in the era of the Dragon King Legend.

Guided by his sixth sense, Zhao Xuanzhen chose a direction and began searching for the soul beasts living within the Spirit Ascension Platform. The Spirit Rui Capybara was a six-hundred-year-old soul beast, and to increase the age of his first soul ring by four hundred years, he needed to kill a four-thousand-year-old soul beast.

Time is tight and the task is heavy, so let's work boldly and get things done as soon as possible!

In the outer room, Leng Yaozhu and the Bai sisters watched Zhao Xuanzhen's every move through a soul-guided screen.

Leng Yaozhu crossed her arms, exuding the aura of a Title Douluo, causing the Bai sisters to subconsciously move a few steps away.

In Leng Yaozhu's view, a teacher needs to have a deep understanding of the disciple's abilities, strengths, and weaknesses, and then formulate a detailed training plan to help the disciple's talents be fully realized.

She volunteered to train at the Spirit Ascension Platform because she wanted to observe Zhao Xuanzhen closely under a microscope, since nothing reveals a person's abilities more clearly than actual combat.
