Douluo: Peerless King of Beast Tamer

DD-Chapter 12: Hellfire

Noticing that Tang Ya had already absorbed the knowledge, Bei Bei decided not to continue teaching Huo Yuhao. Instead, he urged him to familiarize himself with what he had learned first.

Huo Yuhao was extremely excited, as the Tang Sect's unique skills were truly mysterious: Mysterious Heaven Skill (Xuan Tian Gong), Ghost Shadow Track, Mysterious Jade Hand… and most importantly, the Purple Demon Eye.

Although he had not started practicing yet, he felt that the Purple Demon Eye was tailor-made for him.

This eye skill was perfectly suited to his Spirit Eye martial soul.

Tang Ya eagerly showcased her upgraded Blue Silver Grass in front of Bei Bei.

Soul skills are generally considered absolute secrets for soul masters, but the people present were those Tang Ya could trust, so she held nothing back.

Moreover, if it weren't for Zhou Sichen, her Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul would never have improved in such a manner. Sharing the changes with Zhou Sichen would enable him to offer even better suggestions.

After absorbing the soul ring of the King Kong Vine, the Blue Silver Grass in Tang Ya's palm had received a massive boost in vitality and had made great strides in toughness.

This improvement was more than double that of previous upgrades, which was something that a beast soul ring couldn't provide.

Most importantly, her third soul skill was remarkable.

Her third soul skill was called Picking Leaves and Flying Flowers. Not only was the name pleasant to hear, but the specific effect was even more magical.

By integrating the characteristics of the King Kong Vine, her third soul skill could transform the originally weak Blue Silver Grass into sharp Blue Silver blades.

Just like the method the King Kong Vine used to attack Bei Bei, the number of Blue Silver blades she could create was dependent on her soul power.

Tang Ya could also produce various poisons from the Tang Sect. When the time comes, she could apply the poison to the Blue Silver blades, effectively turning them into movable hidden weapon turrets.

Additionally, because of the characteristics of her third soul ring, once she binds the enemy, she can transform the Blue Silver Grass that ensnares them into a sharp blade by activating her third soul skill.

This would execute an absolute strangling attack. The numerous enhancements made Tang Ya brim with hope for her Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul once again.

The person she was most grateful to was Zhou Sichen.

If it weren't for him, she might never have achieved her current state and would have lacked hope for the future.

After dealing with Tang Ya's soul ring, the group began searching for a suitable first soul ring for Huo Yuhao.

Due to Tang Ya's successful experience, everyone now fully trusted Zhou Sichen's theoretical abilities. The soul rings they sought for Huo Yuhao also aligned with control and support.

However, spiritual soul beasts were exceedingly rare, and certain conditions had to be satisfied. Finding a suitable soul ring required not only their collective efforts but also a measure of luck.

Yet their luck seemed to have been exhausted. Zhou Sichen had not encountered a spiritual soul beast during this period, and the group had searched for half a month with no favorable results.

Beside a stream, Huo Yuhao was diligently grilling fish for them, though his expression was filled with confusion.

After a while, he said to Zhou Sichen, "Brother Zhou, if it doesn't work, just find me a soul ring. I feel like my problem has delayed you for so long..."

Before Huo Yuhao could finish speaking, Zhou Sichen gently tapped his forehead. "What are you thinking? It's not easy for a soul master to obtain a soul ring that suits them, especially one with a rare spiritual attribute. It's only been half a month; there's no need to rush."

Hearing Zhou Sichen's words, Bei Bei also chimed in, "Yes, Yuhao, listen to Brother Zhou. We've already spent half a month searching. If we give up now, all that time would have been wasted."

Tang Ya echoed, "Yuhao, you must remember to never give up easily. If you do, the results you want will only drift further away. Understand?"

Moved by the encouragement of his friends, Huo Yuhao turned away to wipe his tears discreetly.

Some people jokingly suggested that the reason why the Sea God could cultivate a seemingly useless martial soul like Blue Silver Grass into a god was that he was no ordinary being, but a god.

How could mere humans compare with a god?

With the support of everyone, Huo Yuhao strengthened his resolve once again. After dinner, he continued practicing the Tang Sect's unique skills under Bei Bei's guidance.

After half a month of training, Huo Yuhao had gained some understanding of the Tang Sect's unique skills, with the Purple Demon Eye being the one in which he had made the most progress.

While Bei Bei was teaching Huo Yuhao, Zhou Sichen, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and whispered to Tang Ya beside him, "Found it."

Tang Ya was slightly taken aback. "Brother Zhou, what did you find?"

Zhou Sichen smiled slightly. "Yuhao's soul ring."

"?" Tang Ya was a bit puzzled. She glanced at Ah Da, who was playing with branches not far away, and asked in confusion, "Aren't we sitting here all the time? Your Ah Da is here too; how did you find it?"

Zhou Sichen did not hide it. "Before, when you weren't paying attention, I summoned Hellfire. After searching for a few days, I finally found a soul beast suitable for Yuhao."

"Hellfire," Tang Ya asked in confusion. "Is this the name of your second contracted soul beast?"

Zhou Sichen nodded.

Tang Ya finally understood, but Hellfire was such a bold name. What kind of being would Zhou's second contracted soul beast be?

Wait... Ah Da has a name similar to his; is it his first contracted soul beast? But Ah Da is a thousand-year-old soul beast. Although I haven't asked Zhou about the specifics of his age, it is definitely a thousand-year-old soul beast, without a doubt.

If Ah Da is the first, does that mean... Zhou Sichen's first soul ring is at the thousand-year level?

How is this possible? Although there are indeed ways to absorb soul rings of higher levels nowadays, it would definitely not be feasible for the first soul ring to be a thousand-year-level one, right?
