Douluo's self has a soul beast clone

Just then, Zhu Zhuqing's keen sense of smell allowed her to detect a familiar scent slowly approaching, and she immediately turned her gaze towards the cave entrance... A dark shadow on all fours was approaching with light steps.

Upon reaching the cave entrance.

The first thing that came into view was a pair of cat eyes, the left eye dark green and the right eye clear blue, followed by jet-black fur and a slender, athletic figure... a slender black cat slowly walked in.

Seeming to have sensed its mother's presence, the other kittens, who were originally sound asleep, immediately opened their heterochromatic eyes of dark green and clear blue, whimpering and crawling towards their mother, eagerly vying for milk.

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, but finally overcame her psychological barrier and slowly approached the mother cat, joining the other kittens in nursing.

The mother cat lay down on the spot, her eyes slightly closed, adopting a half-asleep, half-resting posture. At the same time, a peculiar purring sound came from her throat, like a lullaby, instantly calming the originally noisy kittens.

Zhu Zhuqing's mind also gradually relaxed in this peculiar purring sound. Even the sense of rejection and strangeness in her heart seemed to slowly recede.

Time quietly passed by.

She estimated that about half a month had passed.

The soul power within her body was growing stronger and stronger, gradually emitting a white soul light on the surface of her body. This meant that she was now at least a ten-year soul beast.

The Netherworld Spirit Cat's bloodline, even if it couldn't compare to those top-tier soul beasts, was still a high-level soul beast, and its growth rate was far beyond that of ordinary soul beasts. Cubs could often grow to ten years in one or two years, and some with good talent might need even less time.

And this was also related to the mother.

The stronger the mother who gave birth to the cubs, the higher the soul power that the cubs could inherit, or the faster they could grow after birth.

Zhu Zhuqing's birth mother was a Netherworld Spirit Cat with a cultivation of ten thousand years. Therefore, even though the cubs were only born recently, they had at least ten years of cultivation. By the time the lactation period ended and the cubs could leave their mother to survive independently, they would at least reach a hundred years of cultivation.

If the cubs were born from a hundred-thousand-year-old Netherworld Spirit Cat, their cultivation level at birth would be at least a thousand years, or even exaggeratedly, ten thousand years might not be impossible.

This was the impact of the mother on the cubs.

A year later.

Several cubs were already able to jump around in the nest at will, and even grew sharp teeth and claws. They could no longer drink breast milk.

The mother cat began to bring back some prey for the cubs to eat meat.

This time, Zhu Zhuqing had prepared herself early, so she didn't resist much, and honestly ate the prey brought back by the mother cat. The soul beast's sense of taste was different from that of humans, so she didn't feel any discomfort in her body when facing these bloody foods. At most, it was just a psychological barrier.

Now she couldn't care about anything else, she just wanted to grow up as soon as possible, and then leave the mother cat to act alone.

Cultivate to 100,000 years as soon as possible, and then transform into a human!

So while the other cubs were still playing and frolicking with each other, Zhu Zhuqing had already begun to consciously cultivate. Absorbing energy from the outside world was a natural talent for soul beasts. She didn't even need meditation to assist.

The higher the bloodline level of the soul beast, the higher the efficiency of converting energy absorbed from the outside world into soul power. The opposite was true.

But compared to directly absorbing energy from the outside world to cultivate, it was faster to directly devour the flesh and blood of other soul beasts to increase soul power. However, she was just a cub now, and was still living off her mother cat, so she could only do this for the time being.

Next, Zhu Zhuqing's daily life was basically spent in the process of cultivating, sleeping, and eating.

A few more years passed in a hurry.

Zhu Zhuqing's cultivation had reached several decades, and she was not far from the hundred-year cultivation that would allow her to leave the nest and live independently.

At the same time, compared to the other cubs of the same nest, her size was significantly larger and her cultivation was also higher. This fully demonstrated that her usual cultivation was not useless.

Just when she thought that the days would pass peacefully like this, an accident happened.

One day, the mother cat who returned to the nest as usual was injured.

Several cubs hurriedly gathered around, snuggling up to her and whimpering, as if feeling sorry for their mother. Zhu Zhuqing didn't join them, but stared straight at the wound on the mother cat... This was obviously not a wound caused by a soul beast, but a human weapon!

In an instant, a thunderbolt flashed through her mind!

Zhu Zhuqing realized that she was now a soul beast. In this forest, not only soul beasts would pose a threat to her life, but humans were also enemies! In some ways, humans were even more dangerous than soul beasts!

Having been a human before, she was very clear about how despicable some people would be in order to obtain soul rings.

Just then, the mother cat suddenly turned her head vigilantly to look outside the nest, her body began to tense, and she adopted a defensive posture.

"...This cat's nest is really hidden."

"If you hadn't used your soul skill to plant a mark on it, we would be exhausted and unable to find this place."

"And this beast is really vigilant. Even though it didn't find us, it still detoured a long way before returning to its lair."

"Fortunately, we put a mark on it early, so we wouldn't lose it."

Several human voices faintly came, getting closer and closer to the nest.

The surrounding cubs seemed to have sensed the impending danger, and they all gathered around their mother, as if only by their mother's side was the safest place.

Zhu Zhuqing had a different reaction. She slowly moved to the depths of the nest, and then in an inconspicuous corner, she quietly lifted a stone... At the bottom was a naturally formed small pit, which she had accidentally discovered. Covering the stone on top, you couldn't see that there was a hole underneath at all.

This hole was not big, at most it could only barely hide the body of a kitten. For the other kittens in the same litter, Zhu Zhuqing could only silently say sorry in her heart, then lifted the stone and crawled in, and carefully put the stone back in place.

Zhu Zhuqing was very clear that from these people's words, it was obvious that they were well-prepared and had been planning for a long time. The mother cat was unlikely to be a match, and even their litter of kittens was the target of the other party. Because some noble ladies liked to keep some soul beast pets. Among them, small animals like cats were the most popular.

When she was a child, Zhu Zhuqing also had a small cat soul beast as a pet. These soul beasts that were kept as pets would be treated in advance to make these soul beasts lose the ability to grow, so as to ensure that they would not bite their masters.

So at that time, that little cat, even though it was a soul beast, its cultivation was pitifully low. And it only lived for four or five years before dying of natural causes.

Listening to those people's words, Zhu Zhuqing dared to guarantee that those people's purpose was definitely the kittens, the big cat would not be the main purpose.
