Douluo: Eternal Life from the Legend of Dragon King

Chapter 28: Twilight of the Soul
"Before that, what about the child who saved me... Na'er?"

When Gu Yue mentioned Chen Xi, his cold expression eased a little.

"The information I have received so far is that he is an orphan and no one knows who his biological parents are."

Zi Ji, who was in charge of investigating and tracking Chen Xi, quickly stepped forward and spoke.

"His spirit is an elementalist, and the innate spirit power recorded in the Spiritual Transmission Tower is level five and a half, but he already reached level ten spirit power a few days ago, so I think there is something wrong with his record."

"The spirit is an elementalist?!"

After hearing about Chen Xi's martial spirit, Gu Yue asked back in disbelief.

"Yes."

Confused, Zi Ji nodded and answered affirmatively.

"What's the problem, my Lord?"

"........."

Gu Yue's expression was a little strange. She didn't expect that Chen Xi's martial soul would have the same name as the one she gave to her own martial soul.

She originally wanted to rely on her martial spirit that had never appeared on this continent to become a disciple of the higher-ups in the Spirit Tower. After all, things are valuable because they are rare.

But he didn't expect that Chen Xi's martial soul would be the same as his own. No, it seemed different.

Based on the strange feelings I had before, his martial soul must be different from mine.

"How does his martial spirit perform specifically?"

"At present, I only control the lightning element..."

Hearing Gu Yue's question, Zi Ji thought for a while and said.

"That's it."

After hearing the detailed description of Chen Xi's martial soul, Gu Yue breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that their martial souls were different.

She doesn't need to change the name of her martial soul. Her martial soul is still the first martial soul to appear on the continent and is still very precious.

And it seems that his martial soul is much more advanced than Chen Xi's!

Thinking of this, Gu Yue felt inexplicably proud. Humph, what level of martial spirit has the same name as my martial spirit? !

"You just said he was an orphan. Does he have any friends in the human world?"

A smile suddenly appeared on Gu Yue's face, and he asked in a somewhat brisk tone.

"Uh... no, he's more... aloof? Anyway, he has no friends and his interpersonal relationships aren't that good. He left the orphanage after awakening his martial spirit."

"Then, after just one day of school, he graduated from school and headed to Donghai City."

When Zi Ji saw Gu Yue suddenly smile, she couldn't help but wonder if there was something special about Chen Xi.

Hmm, unexpected.

"Is that so? That's great!"

Gu Yue's eyes lit up when he heard that Chen Xi had no shackles in the human world, and he thought to himself.

If there is no one close to you or who you care about in the human world, wouldn't it be easy for you to be lured into the soul beast camp?
Chen Xi has no family or friends, so these soul beasts can totally be his family!

I have decided to try to pull Chen Xi into the soul beast camp and give him a chance to survive...

Thinking of this, Gu Yue stood up and walked out of the pavilion.

She had to hurry to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters to awaken her martial soul. The sooner she became a disciple, the sooner she could implement her plan.

[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for completing the achievement "My Animal Friends (Part 1)". 】

【Achievement gift package is waiting to be claimed. 】

At the same time, in the East China Sea Spirit Tower.

Chen Xi, who was meditating, suddenly heard the voice of the system. Feeling that his level had been broken through, Chen Xi slowly opened his closed eyes.

When Chen Xi opened his eyes, a golden flame mark appeared in his pupils, and then the golden mark slowly dissipated.

Chen Xi then stood up and stretched his body. Perhaps due to the influence of the soul or the breakthrough, his physical fitness seemed to have improved a little bit.

After carefully feeling the soul skills he had acquired after the breakthrough, Chen Xi's mouth curled up slightly. He glanced at the flames surrounding him, waved his hand, and all the flames were extinguished.

The spiritualist outside the protective shield opened the shield only after seeing the flames extinguished. He walked up and handed Chen Xi a device that was convenient for detecting soul power.

"Seventy percent of level 12, but not even level 13?"

Looking at the soul power displayed on the device, Chen Xi tilted his head. Isn't this right?

Why did my soul power only increase by two levels after absorbing a thousand-year soul ring?
"Don't think that these two levels of soul power are insignificant. These two levels of soul power are already quite a lot in this era."

The spiritualist saw that Chen Xi was confused, and explained with some helplessness and envy.

"Today's souls are not as powerful as soul rings from 10,000 or 20,000 years ago. The energy contained in them is too little." "If you absorb souls just after reaching level 10 without accumulating more soul power, and the souls you absorb are of poor quality, then you may not even be able to increase your level at all."

"I don't know how much soul power can be increased on average by absorbing the first ring of thousand-year souls, but the fact that you have increased your soul power by more than two levels must be a lot."

"This may be related to the fact that the soul you absorbed was made from a real soul beast. When it reaches the second soul ring, your soul may increase your soul power by one or two levels. The further you go, the smaller the improvement in soul power will be..."

After hearing the spiritual master's explanation, Chen Xi nodded thoughtfully.

"Is this so..."

It seems reasonable to hear the psychic say this. Anyway, he can't remember the detailed description of souls in the book of his previous life.

"Here, this is your bill for the Spirit Pagoda."

After the spiritual master saw that Chen Xi understood, he did not explain any further and handed a bill to Chen Xi.

This is Chen Xi's soul power plus the consumption record checked before, in which the soul money has been offset by the soul selection card.

The absorption room is provided free of charge to people who spend more than 10 million yuan. Even if Chen Xi uses the soul selection card, it is considered consumption.

And in a sense, people who own soul selection cards are more noble than those who spend more than 10 million.

Only when one's life is in danger while absorbing souls, and the Soul Tower has to revive him, will additional medical expenses need to be paid to the Soul Tower.

"Thirty-eight million federal coins. That's expensive."

Chen Xi took a look at the price of the soul and his mouth twitched. He was so young and already had a debt of 38 million...

Fortunately, I have a soul selection card, so I can take this soul for free.

I have to make money quickly. Of course, before that I have to go to the Forging Association to see if I am suitable for learning forging.

"Thank you for your help during this period. Goodbye."

Chen Xi nodded slightly to the spiritual master to express his gratitude.

"It's okay, this is what I should do."

The spiritualist quickly waved his hands and said that he was only doing his job and was not worthy of thanks from a genius like Chen Xi.

"........."

Chen Xi shook his head and said nothing more. He put away his soul ring and walked out of the Spirit Transferring Tower.

After leaving the Spirit Pagoda and getting on the Blacksmith Association's car, Chen Xi summoned his spirit ring again.

He looked down at the purple soul ring wrapped around his body, and with a thought, the little lion appeared in Chen Xi's arms.

"Should I give you a name?"

Looking at the little lion in his arms, Chen Xi asked in a low voice.

The Millennium Soul has already awakened some intelligence and should be able to understand some simple words.

If humans want to understand the thoughts of low-level souls, in addition to observing their behavior, they can also concentrate and feel the souls' emotions and thoughts.

"roar~"

The little lion cried softly, and patted Chen Xi's chest lazily with its little paw.

At the same time, Chen Xi felt the little lion's slight consciousness, and what Chen Xi felt was consent and an indifferent attitude.

"Then let me see your gender before deciding your name."

As Chen Xi spoke, he lifted up the lion cub, wanting to check its gender.

"Roar!!"

The little lion lifted up by Chen Xi clamped its legs together and growled at Chen Xi with bared teeth.

A strong feeling of shyness came into Chen Xi's mind, causing him to stop.

"Are you female?"

Chen Xi stopped what he was doing and looked into the little lion's golden eyes and asked.

"roar~"

This time, Chen Xi didn't need to feel the soul's thoughts, it just nodded.

"The female's name..."

Chen Xi put the docile little lion back on his legs, stroked the hair on its back and thought.

He had some difficulty in naming, and it took him a long time to come up with a name.

"From now on, your name will be Mu'ai..."

　The author has difficulty making choices. Will the name "Muai" work?
　　Do you have any good names that you think of? Please suggest them to the author.
