The opening of Douluo Dalu: Cuscuta Martial Spirit

Chapter 136 Seram City

On the outskirts of the forest, two figures slowly moved forward.

"Ah, you mean you are an orphan?"

"Ah what? I mean I'm the only one in my family!"

"..."

"Are you taking me home?"

Xu Ying rolled her eyes at Tang Lin, "Don't you have nowhere to go? Come to my house to rest first."

Xu Ying was the girl Tang Lin met before. When she was unable to withstand the attack of the spirit beast and there were no other spirit masters nearby, Tang Lin still came to save her.

In Tang Lin's story, he got separated from his companions and was hunted here by the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

It was then that Tang Lin learned that this forest was called Lansai Intermediate Soul Beast Forest, an intermediate soul beast forest named after the nearby Lansai City.

Because there are many middle and low-level soul beasts in it, it is the best place for many soul mentors in Lansai City.

Relying on his shallow memory and random fabrications, Tang Lin really let Tang Lin get past Xu Ying.

The eleven or twelve-year-old girl was very warm-hearted and acted like a chivalrous person. When she saw that Tang Lin had saved her life, she immediately took over everything.

"Maybe I can find someone you know, then I can repay the favor!"

"But I have bad words for you ahead of time. Your companions are being hunted by that Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear...sigh."

Xu Ying sighed and had no hope of the survival of the companions Tang Lin told about. In her opinion, the reason why Tang Lin was able to come out safely was because of the knife that his companions gave him.

Xu Ying knew that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had at least 5 years of cultivation. Even the lord of Lanse City, a dignified seventh-level soul master, could only run away when they encountered him.

"That big bear has been very ferocious recently, which has caused a lot fewer people to come here recently."

According to Xu Ying's story, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears in the past would never step out of their core area, and the soul masters who came to hunt soul beasts would never offend the majesty of the soul beast lord who had cultivated for 5 years.

"I don't know what happened to that big bear. He has been very irritable recently."

Just this month, there have been five incidents of Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears injuring people in the periphery, scaring people in need of soul rings from coming to the Lansai Intermediate Soul Beast Forest to hunt for soul beasts.

"Nowadays, most people prefer the distant places and live in the Ice Wind Forest. Although the climate there is harsh, there are no ten thousand-year-old soul beasts like the Big Bear, so it will be safer."

Xu Ying briefly introduced the situation here to Tang Lin.

"Then why are you here?"

"My soul power has exceeded level [-], and I can add soul rings. Can you bear it?"

"..."

Little sister, you are already dead, do you know?
If it weren't for Tang Lin's arrival, Xu Ying would probably not have died at the claws of the lion soul beast, but would have died from her own rashness one day.

"Hey, I also know that this is too dangerous. There will be no next time..."

"That's good. I can't save you anytime and anywhere."

The two chatted all the way, and Tang Lin learned a lot about the Sun Moon Continent from Xu Ying.

For example, the Sun and Moon Continent now is different from what it was ten thousand years ago. There is no unified Sun and Moon Empire at all. Instead, there are city-states of different sizes.

The three largest city-states are Sun Moon City, Risheng City, and Ming Dou City.

The resort mentioned by the soul masters of the Sun and Moon Continent is in Ming Dou City, so Ming Dou City is also the city-state with the most soul masters among the three major city-states.

The Lansai City where Xu Ying and Tang Lin were located was nominally a vassal state of the Sun and Moon City, but they only paid a certain amount of taxes every year and did not assume any obligations.

It was a bit confusing and Tang Lin didn't understand many things, but that didn't stop him from continuing to ask Xu Ying questions.

"Our city lord should be very strong, otherwise we wouldn't be able to become the city lord?"

"...The City Lord is certainly powerful. He is a seventh-level soul engineer, and he is very powerful in our circle."

Xu Ying glanced at the smiling Tang Lin. She always felt that the guy next to her might be able to defeat the city lord who was a seventh-level soul engineer.

"Are you a soul fighter or a soul mentor? What level are you at?"

Because of the different continents, the names of soul masters on the two sides are also different.

In today's Sun Moon Continent, soul masters who specialize in their own cultivation are called soul fighters. According to the number of soul rings, they are called first-level soul fighters, second-level soul fighters, third-level...

But so far, there has been no ninth-level soul fighter in the Sun and Moon Continent.

Correspondingly, soul masters who develop soul guides and use soul guides to fight are called soul mentors, and their level is the same as soul fighters, with level nine being the highest.

Although the number of ninth-level soul mentors is rare, one or two can still be seen in the holy places of the Sun and Moon Continent.

Ironically, in the current Sun Moon Continent, the soul warriors who pursue their own limits have not yet seen the existence of the Nine Rings.

However, soul mentors who rely on external objects can often break through to the realm that soul fighters dream of with the help of various drugs.

It can be seen from the two names of soul fighter and soul master that one is a master and the other is a scholar. It is obvious that the soul master is more noble in the Sun and Moon Continent.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the problem of ethos that the soul masters of the Sun Moon Continent ten thousand years later are not as good as the soul masters of the Douluo Continent.

Three to four thousand years later, the Sun Moon Continent will bring the title of soul master to Douluo Continent, and Douluo Continent will replace the title of soul fighter with the more common soul master.

Out of curiosity, Xu Ying wanted to know Tang Lin's strength.

Being able to subdue the thousand-and-five-hundred-year-old flaming lion by just using the martial spirit itself is not something that a third-level soul fighter or a second-level soul master can do.

"My situation is a bit special."

Tang Lin was already prepared for Xu Ying's curiosity, "If you must say it, I am a fifth-level soul fighter."

"What! Level [-]! Can you teach me how to fight?"

Xu Ying's eyes suddenly lit up. If it weren't for her lack of combat experience, she wouldn't have been deceived by the flaming lion's feint.

She didn't know why, but she always felt inexplicably kind to Tang Lin.

"Ahem, don't be impatient, I haven't finished speaking yet..."

Tang Lin first comforted the excited Xu Ying, and then continued, "You see, my martial soul does not have a soul ring, so I am not worthy of my name as a fifth-level soul fighter."

As he spoke, a small clump of bluesilver grass emerged from Tang Lin's right palm, supporting Tang Lin's words.

That's right, in order to avoid possible overturning, Tang Lin decided not to reveal his Cuscuta Martial Spirit and Azure Vine Martial Spirit this time, and instead used this incomplete Blue Silver Emperor to display to the outside world.

When Tang Lin subdued the lion soul beast in front of Xu Ying, he simply used the Blue Silver Emperor's entanglement.

"That's it. Even if I release my spirit, you can't see my spirit ring, and I can't use my spirit skills. Every time I reach the limit of my spirit power, the absorbed spirit ring will disappear without a trace."

All in all, it was nonsense. As for whether Xu Ying thought Tang Lin had hidden a soul ring or something, Tang Lin didn't mind.

Xu Ying opened her eyes wide and looked at the Blue Silver Emperor in Tang Lin's palm, "Brother Lin, your martial spirit is so beautiful!"

When she subdued the Flame Lion before, Xu Ying was anxious to absorb the third soul ring, so she didn't pay much attention to it. But now she took a closer look and discovered the beauty of the Blue Silver Emperor.

"This martial spirit is somewhat similar to Blue Silver Grass. Is it the mutated martial spirit of Blue Silver Grass?"

Although the Blue Silver Emperor looked just a little thicker than the ordinary Blue Silver Grass, the sapphire-like grass blades looked so beautiful, which immediately captured Xu Ying's heart.

Especially the trace of golden texture in it gives people a very special aesthetic feeling.

"Maybe, I don't know, it's possible."

Tang Lin couldn't stand Xu Ying's loving eyes, so he quickly took the spirit back, "Let's go, we're at the exit."

It turned out that unknowingly, the two of them had arrived at one of the exits of the Lansai Intermediate Soul Beast Forest. …

With Xu Ying's help, Tang Lin entered Lansai City openly.

"Brother Lin, please stay at my house for a few days, and I will get you an identity certificate as soon as possible."

Xu Ying was not surprised at all by Tang Lin's embarrassment, but agreed naturally.

"Aren't you worried?"

"worry about what?"

"If I were a criminal, wouldn't you and your family be in trouble?"

"You are so kind and you saved me. I don't care about other things."

Xu Ying shook her head. She was not a fool. How could she not notice that something was wrong with Tang Lin? However, this was actually very common in a place like Lansai City.

There are people fleeing from one city-state to another every day, and among them, Lanse City has the most positive attitude towards receiving them.

As for dangerous issues, which may involve family members, Xu Ying doesn't mind even more.

"Didn't I say...well, actually, I'm no different from an orphan. What am I afraid of?"

Xu Ying shrugged nonchalantly, "Because my martial soul has mutated, others look down on me."

As she spoke, Xu Ying also revealed her martial spirit, and proudly played with Tang Lin. A ball of orange-red light was kneaded by her into different shapes.

"How about I call it the ball of light? Isn't it appropriate?"

"I can only say that it is indeed in line with the nature of this martial spirit."

Shit ball of light.

After resting for so long, Tang Lin was able to use his identification skills long ago.

【Xu Ying】

【Age: 12 years old】

[Martial Spirit: Sun]

[Soul Power Level: Level 31]

The lion soul beast before was Xu Ying's third soul ring. Xu Ying was really wild enough to hunt her third soul ring alone.

In Tang Lin's memory, this Sun Martial Spirit was clearly a powerful Martial Spirit that could only be possessed by the direct royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire.

And this is the most important reason why they were able to ascend the throne in the first place.

Only owners of direct bloodline can possess this Sun Martial Spirit.

The power of the sun is the most rigid and powerful, and it is the best among fire-attribute martial spirits.Even if it's not the ultimate martial spirit, it's still close to it.

Moreover, it can use the power of the sun to strengthen itself, and it is the same level of top martial spirit as the moon martial spirit.

Moreover, the national surname of the Sun and Moon Empire ten thousand years later is Xu. It is difficult not to doubt that Xu Ying is one of the ancestors of the royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire in the future.

Tang Lin's teeth were a little sour. Xu Ying couldn't be bluffing him.

"Your martial spirit is very powerful. What do your family members think?"

"They always wanted me to learn the Laoshizi soul tool. I didn't want to, so I was kicked out... Anyway, no one cares about me!"

"Besides, my martial spirit is so strong, it can't possess people, it's not very aggressive, and my spirit power is consumed very quickly..."

In the Sun and Moon Continent, the total amount of soul power, recovery speed, and consumption speed are the keys to whether people can become an excellent soul mentor.

As for Xu Ying's light ball, well, except for the excellent soul power recovery speed, the Sun Martial Soul didn't even meet the standards in the other two items.

"Anyway, if you hadn't helped me absorb the third soul ring, then as a soul fighter, I wouldn't even be able to come up with a decent offensive soul skill!"

Xu Ying was sincerely grateful to Tang Lin for saving her life.

Don't be anxious first. You are the soul master. Why are you anxious?

Tang Lin said: Even though I am a Soul King, I have never seen Cuscuta bring me any offensive soul skills.

"The martial soul is just like this. It can't even be considered a serious soul fighter... Who has the mind to make a soul guidance device?"

Xu Ying waved her hands and started to mess around.

"... I would like to ask, if you had not mutated, what martial soul would you have inherited?"

Xu Ying glanced at Tang Lin and said, "You are so strange. You always ask strange questions."

"I'm just curious, tell me?"

"My father's martial spirit is eggplant, and my mother's martial spirit is sunflower. There is no mutation, so that martial spirit is one of them!"

Speaking of this, even Xu Ying's eyes darkened. If her martial soul had not mutated, her life would definitely be completely different.

...Sunflowers produce sunlight, which makes sense.

"Can't you study both disciplines? Wouldn't that make you stronger?"

Tang Lin muttered to Xu Ying. Although his words had a strange accent, Xu Ying could understand him.

For some reason, although the two continents are far apart, their languages ​​​​are the same. If there is nothing fishy about it, Tang Lin doesn't believe it.

“It’s a great idea, but I can’t do it.”

Xu Ying strode forward, "Human energy is limited, and I'm not a genius. It's very difficult for me to practice in one discipline, let alone two."

Tang Lin is not the only one who has thought about this idea. Even now, many people on the Sun and Moon Continent have imitated it, but none of them have succeeded.

Xu Ying has a clear understanding of herself, and she only wants to become a qualified soul fighter. If she continues to focus on the research of soul guidance devices, her life will be over.

Tang Lin changed the subject: "By the way, do you know where to go to sea to find a ship? I'm talking about a big ship."

Now that he knew this was the Sun and Moon Continent, Tang Lin had answers to many of his own questions.

For example, parasitized skills cannot be used because the distance is too far and the soul power is consumed in the process of transmission. The same is true for the transmission of messages by Tang Lin, Qian Renxue and others.

The distance that even the soul power has dissipated shows that the distance between Sun Moon Continent and Douluo Continent is still very, very far. It is definitely unrealistic to go back by sailing on a big ship.

But Tang Lin has no other choice now. If he is alone, then he can just stay in the Sun and Moon Continent.

But now Tang Lin just pulled out the radish and brought out the mud, which was still mixed with muddy water. A large group of people were waiting for him on Douluo Continent.

Fortunately, the connection with the host was not broken, and Tang Lin's life and safety could still be known to the women opposite him, otherwise it would be terrible.

And after a comprehensive examination of his body, Tang Lin discovered something even worse.

It seems that he came here after fighting something and lost his memory.

Three times of invincible golden body, three times of extreme healing, three times of light return...

In one battle, Tang Lin actually used all his life-saving skills, and even his evil crown could not be summoned. It seemed that he was also damaged in that battle.

If he doesn't figure out what he is fighting, then Tang Lin cannot guarantee safety even if he returns to Douluo Continent.

Find your opponent, find your way back, and integrate into the local area.

These are the three most important things for Tang Lin right now.
