"Grandfather, don't worry, I will be back soon!"
Going to Shrek Academy was not an issue for Jiang Bai. He had also obtained a soul power of level fifteen.
So for now there is no need to rush, the most important thing is to first get a soul ring.
Otherwise, he will really be stuck at level ten and cannot increase my soul power.
Thinking about this, Jiang Bai felt that this mechanism was a bit outrageous.
When soul beasts go extinct, will soul masters also go extinct?
The divine realm connects to so many worlds, yet the constraints on the advancement in the Douluo world are so significant.
Jiang Bai strongly suspects that this is the divine realm's measure against soul beasts.
Having watched Douluo Continent, Peerless Tang Sect, Legend of the Dragon King, Ultimate Douluo, and Rebirth of Tang San.
From the five parts of Douluo, I deeply understand the development of the Douluo world.
Sigh, these things now are not something a six-year-old boy like him should be thinking about.
"Sister Rou Rou!"
A mature young girl in a white long dress with elegant behavior came to Jiang Bai's side.
She scooped him up in her arms one go, squeezing his head between her delicate breasts with a caress.
Surrounded by her warm, delicate form, Jiang Bai turned his head away from the soft, ample mass, trying to distance himself but Su Yunrou didn't let that happen as she squeezed him closer to her supple form.
Flustered, Jiang Bai said, "Sister Rou Rou, I-I'm a boy!"
"I know, just a little guy!" Su Yunrou replied.
Jiang Bai soon felt dejected; after all, he really was small! Thankfully, Su Yunrou didn't hold him for too long and released him.
"Hmm? Is Jiang Bai angry? Why is he being so worked up?" Su Yunrou thought.
"Are you already itching for your soul ring, Xiao Bai?" She laughed teasingly.
When she was about to get her first soul ring, she was also incredibly excited.
She had fantasized about her first soul ring being a million-year one, followed by becoming a Titled Douluo in three years and a God in five years.
Unfortunately, that was just a dream.
How could anyone have a million-year soul ring as their first?
That was pure fantasy!
"What kind of soul skill do you want for your first one?"
Although she didn't know what kind of deer Jiang Bai's martial soul was, the brilliant green light it emitted during his awakening indicated that it was definitely extraordinary—a top-tier beast martial soul!
"I want a support-type soul ring skill!"
Jiang Bai had already thought this through. The support type was reliable and flexible.
The first soul ring wouldn't have a long limit, so if he went for an attack-type skill, it wouldn't be useful later on.
It was better to have support skills that could enhance himself!
Of course, it would be even better if it could boost his teammates too.
When faced with danger, he could simply retreat behind his teammates.
"A support-type soul skill, huh?" Su Yunrou pondered for a moment. For a genius like Jiang Bai, this was indeed the right way to nurture him.
With the first soul skill having a limit of only a few hundred years, it made sense to obtain an enhancing support skill.
"When we get to the Douling Royal Forest, let them help you pick one out."
Their current goal was the exclusive soul beast forest of the Douling Royal Family.
The habitat of soul beasts couldn't be limited to just a few areas.
Any prominent family would keep some soul beasts for their descendants to practice with or to obtain soul rings.
However, most of those would only be century-old soul beasts.
They wouldn't dare to keep thousand-year soul beasts too close.
But their goal this time was the soul beast forest of the Douling Empire's royalty.
By paying a small amount of gold coins, they could enter and hunt for soul rings.
Moreover, the news of Jiang Bai's innate full soul power and top-tier beast martial soul had already reached the Douling Royal Family.
This time, they not only prepared a personal protector for him as a Soul Douluo, but also generously detailed the soul beasts suitable for Jiang Bai.
So, when it comes to geniuses, there's no need to rely on the weak!
Any intelligent person wouldn't think of stifling the talented at the first opportunity.
The martial world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's also about relationships and social dynamics!
Although the Douling Royal Family couldn't directly recruit him right now, they still sent a significant amount of funding to invest in Jiang Bai and win him over.
After all, while Shrek was an academy, Jiang Bai's origins were still in the Douling Empire.
Utilizing Shrek Academy's resources and then contributing back to his homeland after graduation— that's a win-win situation!
The Douling Empire was experiencing a grandiose dream.
A carriage stopped at the outskirts of the Douling Royal Forest, where a Soul Saint was already there to greet them.
Clearly, the Douling Empire attached great importance to this, as top-tier martial souls appeared frequently each year, especially those with family lineage.
But innate full soul power was far too rare — one could go a thousand miles without finding even a single one!
Shrek Academy sometimes struggled to find a soul master with innate full soul power during enrollment each year.
This indicated at least the potential to become a Titled Douluo! In any faction, this was considered a top-tier existence.
"Are you Master Jiang Bai and Miss Su Yunrou?" The Soul Saint showed such respect for them, which meant the Douling Empire held them in high regard.
"Jiang Bai, since you want your first soul ring to be a support type, it's best to choose a plant-type soul beast."
"Most plant-type soul beasts have auxiliary soul skills."
Jiang Bai thought the same way.
"Then I'll trouble you, senior, to help find a plant-type soul beast around four hundred years old."
The Soul Saint nodded and pulled out a booklet, handing it to Jiang Bai.
While animal-type soul beasts were quite common, the birth of plant-type soul beasts was exceptionally difficult, making them even more precious.
The booklet in Jiang Bai's hands contained only a few pages in total.
"Thorned Devil Vine, 800 years old, possesses strong binding capabilities and toxicity."
"Golden Silk Demon Tree, 500 years old, with extremely sharp leaves."
"Ghost Vine, 300 years old, skilled in binding and parasitism."
"Thunder Flame Hell Vine, 200 years old, possesses lightning power and is skilled in self-detonation."
As Jiang Bai carefully searched through the list of plant-type soul beasts, he pondered.
Should he also go for a binding skill? After all, Tang San's Blue Silver Binding had been used until the very end!
"What's wrong? Are you not satisfied?" Faced with Su Yunrou's question, Jiang Bai felt a bit troubled.
"The types of soul beasts domesticated by humans are still too few."
Why is it so difficult to find a soul skill? Either the age is too high, or it's too low. Or they're just not a good fit.
Most of the options clearly leaned toward offensive skills.
What lay before him now were mainly binding and parasitism skills. Only these two soul skills maximized his benefits.
But he felt a bit reluctant.
Huo Yuhao's first soul skill was from a million-year soul beast!
Having directly inherited the divine test from the God of Destruction, he shouldn't force himself to settle for less.
At least he hoped it would suit him, preferably awakening Yao's passive or third skill.
The Soul Saint of the Douling Empire noticed Jiang Bai's dilemma and smiled, "His Majesty has instructed that if Young Master Jiang Bai is not satisfied with any of the soul beasts…"
"The Douling Empire can prepare a special hunting team, including a Soul Douluo senior, to venture into the Star Dou Forest to hunt for soul rings."
Both Su Yunrou and Jiang Bai gasped in surprise.
A Soul Douluo!
For such a rookie like him to have such a powerful figure personally hunt soul beasts was a clear indication of how much the Douling Empire valued him.
Jiang Bai and Su Yunrou exchanged glances and spoke in unison, "Then we'll trouble you, Senior."
This was a favor he would owe. Having a Soul Douluo from the Douling Empire personally hunt for him was no small matter.
It only reinforced the idea that he was destined to become a being like the God of Destruction in the future.
The Douling Empire had no idea about his true potential; they were simply drawn to Jiang Bai's innate full soul power.
If they knew he was a divine heir, they would undoubtedly dispatch all their Titled Douluos to protect him!
Of course, Jiang Bai had no intention of revealing his divine status.
"Shall we set off immediately?"
