4: First Soul Skill

Just like that, the kind Little Fairy Doctor could only temporarily take in Mo Yuhan.

The next day, because her task from yesterday was not yet completed, the Little Fairy Doctor gave some instructions before leaving.

After she left, Mo Yuhan returned to Douluo Continent.

His bedroom remained unchanged, but he discovered that his Soul Power seemed to have significantly increased compared to when he awakened his Spirit yesterday.

However, it seemed to be limited by the rules of Douluo Continent, and the Soul Power within him was temporarily suppressed.

It was estimated that once he obtained his first spirit ring, his Soul Power would flow freely and fully erupt.

For the next few days, Mo Yuhan spent more time on the Dou Qi Continent side absorbing Dou Qi.

He gradually stabilized his cultivation at the sixth stage of Dou Qi.

As for obtaining a spirit ring, he planned to wait until Bibi Dong emerged from her seclusion and acquire it with her.

Six days later, while the Little Fairy Doctor was out collecting herbs again, Mo Yuhan left a note explaining that he would be out for two days, then immediately returned to Douluo Continent.

Because Bibi Dong had emerged from seclusion.

"Congratulations, Saintess, congratulations! You are about to break through to Spirit Saint."

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan smiled flatteringly.

Unlike before, this time he was accompanied by another black-faced person, who was the Level 95 Titled Douluo Ghost Douluo.

He and Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan had been life-and-death partners for decades; they had known each other since childhood, jointly experienced Spirit awakening, hunted Spirit Beasts, and their bond surpassed that of blood brothers.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and could perform a Spirit fusion ability.

"Where is Yu Han? Has he not gotten up yet?"

Bibi Dong frowned slightly.

She was a person who was strict with herself and those around her; even though she doted on Mo Yuhan, she wouldn't go easy on him when necessary.

"Xiao Han is practicing at the training ground and is on his way now."

Chrysanthemum Douluo explained.

"What Spirit did he awaken?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo thought for a moment; Mo Yuhan hadn't told him to keep his Spirit a secret, only not to mention innate full Soul Power: "A very strange flame, Xiao Han calls it Xuan Huang Flame."

"A flame, that's not bad."

Bibi Dong nodded slightly.

At eighteen years old, Bibi Dong was captivatingly beautiful.

Her purple hair, not yet darkened by political machinations, cascaded down her slender shoulders, the ends curving softly in a way unique to young women, circling her neck.

Her hair was not adorned with intricate gold ornaments, only a small silver cross-star, the symbol of the Spirit Hall's Saintess.

Her skin was fairer than six years ago, an almost transparent porcelain white like thin frost on plum branches after a clear day following snow, and her eyebrows were naturally dark without needing to be drawn.

While waiting for Mo Yuhan to arrive, her lips gently pressed together, revealing a glimpse of her pearly white teeth, making her look holy and enchanting.

"Your Royal Highness the Saintess, Xiao Han also said he would tell you a surprise once you emerged from seclusion."

No sooner had Chrysanthemum Douluo finished speaking than a small figure pounced forward.

"Auntie, I'm here!"

Mo Yuhan ran and pounced into Bibi Dong's arms, feeling her full bosom, his eyes filled with joy, then he gave her a loud kiss on her cheek.

Not seeing her for several days, he missed her greatly.

"You little rascal, I just heard Elder Chrysanthemum say you had a surprise for me?"

Bibi Dong didn't know why, but she always felt an overwhelming maternal urge towards Mo Yuhan, so she could only pick him up and helplessly pinch his little cheek.

Mo Yuhan blinked his eyes: "Auntie, I awakened my Spirit."

"It's innate full Soul Power!"

Bibi Dong looked at Mo Yuhan's proud little expression, as if saying "Praise me," and couldn't help but chuckle, which stunned him.

"Auntie, you're so beautiful..."

Bibi Dong rolled her eyes: "No wonder you waited for me to emerge from seclusion. Are you planning to go with me to hunt for a spirit ring?"

"Hehe, Auntie is so smart, nothing can be hidden from you."

Mo Yuhan scratched his head.

"Then let's go together. It will also let me see if you've been diligent these past few days."

"Long live Auntie!"

...

In the Star Dou Great Forest, they hadn't found a Spirit Beast suitable for Mo Yuhan the entire way.

Chrysanthemum Douluo suggested hunting Bibi Dong's seventh spirit ring first, as there were many thousand-year Spirit Beasts deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, but finding a low-level Spirit Beast compatible with flame was not so easy to find.

Soon, Bibi Dong successfully hunted her seventh spirit ring.

"Auntie, won't I be able to break through this time either?"

Mo Yuhan had recently felt that his absorption of Dou Qi was gradually reaching its limit, likely due to the lack of a spirit ring configuration.

Therefore, he was quite anxious about it.

"No need to rush. Hunting for a spirit ring is a long process. Some people even stay in the Star Dou Great Forest for ten days to half a month just to find a spirit ring that suits them."

"Oh—"

At this moment, Ghost Douluo, who was scouting, suddenly spoke: "Your Royal Highness the Saintess, there is a four-hundred-year-old Flame Lion nearby, perfectly suited for Xiao Han."

"Then I'll trouble Grandpa Ghost."

The limit for the first spirit ring was just over four hundred years. Although Xuan Huang Flame might have more potential and could absorb spirit rings of higher age, Mo Yuhan, including Bibi Dong, would not take the risk.

Without needing to say more, Ghost Douluo immediately captured the Flame Lion, beat it half to death, and Mo Yuhan, with a single flame incineration, ended its life with a roar.

The absorption process went smoothly.

A yellow spirit ring gradually condensed around Mo Yuhan.

"First Spirit Ability, Xuan Huang Lion Flame Crash."

[Xuan Huang Lion Flame Crash]

Form: When activated, Xuan Huang Flame will condense on the body surface into a flowing flame form similar to a fiery lion's mane, especially at the shoulders and forearms, where the flames will become thick like the outline of a lion's head, with a dark color yet shimmering with a metallic luster, as if wearing a layer of flame-condensed lion-shaped armor.

Effect: Based on a short-distance charge, it combines the "penetrating scorching" of the Spirit Xuan Huang Flame with the "physical impact" of the Flame Lion—when striking the target, Xuan Huang Flame will surge in along the point of contact.

Not only does it cause continuous scorching damage—its scorching sensation originates from within the body rather than surface burns, aligning with Xuan Huang Flame's characteristic of "origin scorching"—but it also carries the deterrent power of the Flame Lion, causing the struck target to experience a brief "blood stagnation" within 3 seconds, meaning their speed will decrease by 10%.

Furthermore, it will be accompanied by a certain slight delay in Soul Power circulation, as if intimidated by the lion's might.

However, as it is only a hundred-year spirit ring's first Spirit Ability, its range and power are limited, with a charge distance of only about twenty meters, making it more suitable for close-quarters combat or surprise attacks.

Due to the domineering nature of Xuan Huang Flame, the solidified characteristic of the flame is not easily extinguished by ordinary water, and its penetrating effect against "defense-type Spirit Abilities" is still far stronger than flame-based Spirit Abilities of the same rank.

"Hmm, not bad."

Bibi Dong was quite satisfied, but when her gaze fell on Mo Yuhan, she was suddenly surprised to find that after his breakthrough, he had risen three levels, reaching Level 13 Soul Power.

This indicated that Mo Yuhan not only possessed extraordinary talent but also had diligently trained his Soul Power after awakening his Spirit.

"Auntie, this is the surprise I wanted to give you."

Mo Yuhan felt the abundant Soul Power and showed off, putting his hands on his hips cockily.
