"An Eye Martial Soul?"
"That's rare; it's the first time I've ever heard of such a Spirit."
When Qian Renxue heard Yang Yuan reveal his Spirit, she immediately looked into his eyes.
Meeting his double pupils, she felt a strange pang of dread at those abyssal depths.
The feeling vanished so quickly she thought she'd imagined it.
"What eerie eyes!" Qian Renxue narrowed her phoenix gaze, thinking to herself.
Though she'd never heard of an Eye Martial Soul, her intuition told her it might rival her Seraphim.
After all, the Seraphim was a Divine Rank Spirit!
Realizing this, she regarded Yang Yuan with even greater delight.
This trip had truly unearthed a treasure!
"By the way, Little Brother Yang Yuan, are you set on absorbing a beast of Life or Destruction for your first spirit ring?"
"You know those attributes are complete opposites!"
"I'm sure—either attribute will do."
"Life-attribute beasts are manageable."
"But pure Destruction beasts are hard to find in the Star Dou Great Forest!"
Qian Renxue frowned, curiosity growing about what his double pupils could do.
An Eye Martial Soul didn't seem connected to either Life or Destruction.
She'd assumed he'd pick something with mental attributes.
Yet Yang Yuan had his own plan.
For now he only wielded the most basic power of the double pupils.
But in the original Perfect World, the left eye could create endless Life and birth Yin and Yang, while the right held destructive force that returned everything to Chaos.
So far he'd grasped neither opposite power.
Absorbing Life and Destruction beasts was his attempt to awaken them.
Seeing him determined, Qian Renxue and Snake Lance Douluo said no more and led him into the Star Dou Great Forest.
With a Titled Douluo like Snake Lance Douluo escorting them, they needn't worry unless they entered the core zones.
Even the outer forest was spectacular: dense mountain woods and sky-piercing ancient trees like primordial jungle.
Yang Yuan wasn't greedy—he didn't insist on top-tier beasts.
Any beast carrying Life or Destruction would do.
Of course, circumstances wouldn't allow more; otherwise creatures like Emerald Swan, Tree of Life, Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, or Darkgolden Terror-Claw Bear would be targets.
But those were either impossibly rare or had powerful backers, none he could covet.
As dusk fell they had already raced hundreds of li through the forest.
Yang Yuan hadn't wasted his time at Nuoding Academy; he guided them to several sunny, lush spots.
His knowledge of beasts startled even Qian Renxue and Snake Lance Douluo.
No wonder the Douluo Continent's average schooling was low—had Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong read a few more books, they wouldn't have fallen for that half-baked "Grandmaster" Yu Xiaogang.
At the fourth sunny spot Yang Yuan's face lit up.
Through his double pupils he could see denser Life energy here; the beast he needed was likely nearby.
He only hoped its age wasn't too high.
Noticing his change, Qian Renxue looked over.
"Little Brother Yang, have you found your beast?"
"I'm fairly sure it's here; I just don't know its age."
Qian Renxue glanced around but saw nothing save towering trees.
She sighed. "Your Spirit is certainly convenient."
She knew his keen perception came from the double pupils.
Snake Lance Douluo nodded in agreement—Yang Yuan had sensed the beast before even a Titled Douluo.
They pressed deeper.
A tree barely seven or eight meters tall—short among giants—came into view.
Yang Yuan smiled the moment he saw it.
"So it's a Heavenly Sun Tree."
"No wonder this place is rich in Life and tinged with faint light."
"Heavenly Sun Tree?" Qian Renxue studied the eight-meter plant whose broad leaves shimmered gold and green.
She clearly hadn't heard of it.
Yang Yuan explained: "It carries both Life and light, a rare plant-type Spirit Beast."
It thrives where sunlight strikes year-round, but grows slowly and is easily overlooked amid taller trees.
Understanding dawned on Qian Renxue's lovely face, now tinged with embarrassment—she'd just been taught by a six-year-old.
How mortifying!
"Little Brother Yang, how do you know so much?"
Even Snake Lance Douluo was curious; no ordinary six-year-old could manage this.
Yang Yuan grinned.
"If you could read ten lines at a glance and never forget, you'd know as much as I do."
Snake Lance Douluo's mouth twitched; he couldn't compete with such talent.
Qian Renxue sighed.
"Little Brother Yang, Heaven truly favors you!"
Yang Yuan mused inwardly: My cheats come from the System; you're the one Heaven dotes on—Divine Rank Spirit, Young Lord of Spirit Hall, a Limit Douluo grandfather, Innate level-twenty spirit power.
Had she spent less time on romance and more on Cultivation, Tang San would never have mattered.
Meanwhile Snake Lance Douluo acted.
With one blow he snapped every branch, leaving only the core for Yang Yuan to destroy and release the spirit ring.
"Thank you, Senior She!"
Yang Yuan stepped forward.
Stripped of its limbs, the tree could not resist; a single thrust destroyed its core.
Moments later the tree dulled as a purple ring rose from its remains.
Seeing the purple ring, Qian Renxue and Snake Lance Douluo's pupils shrank.
"A thousand-year spirit ring!"
