Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There was a commotion in the audience as soon as they saw the eight soul rings. This made them anticipate the competition even more eagerly. Anyone would hope to witness the battle between two great powerhouses, especially an eight-ringed soul master challenging Tang Wulin!

Tang Wulin stood there, not going on the offensive immediately. He was not attacking, but the glow of lightning began to shimmer around his body.

Ao Wuchang was overjoyed when he saw that Tang Wulin was not attempting to attack head-on. His martial soul’s unique characteristic was that the longer he engaged in a battle, the more powerful his abilities would become.

Radiance flickered from the first soul ring on his body, and a pitch black phantom door appeared on the spot where he was standing earlier. The phantom door gave out a deep roar, and a giant wolf as black as ink emerged from it out from the door.

The wolf was over six meters in length with incredibly high shoulders. Every piece of the muscle on its body was revealed in an exaggerated manner. These muscles were brimming with strength and beauty. Its fur was glossy and it appeared to be filled with explosive power.

After the giant wolf appeared, it was not in a rush to launch an attack at Tang Wulin. Instead, it scurried to the side and circled away from Tang Wulin’s side. Its pair of ferocious eyes remained staring at Tang Wulin all along without blinking. It felt as if the wolf was ready to pounce at any time.

Ao Wuchang was feeling highly confident upon summoning the giant wolf. He swung his arms in unison, tossing out his second and third soul rings, which also transformed into two phantom doors. The doors landed on the ground and lined up side by side with the first door. Soon after, two more giant wolves dashed out from the doors. Just like the first, the wolves did not launch attacks at Tang Wulin but circled around.

The three giant wolves formed into a triangular formation and surrounded Tang Wulin. The wolves then let out long howls.

At this point there was a deep chanting voice. Ao Wuchang did not care about Tang Wulin’s lack of action. As he descended from the sky, his eyes were shimmering radiantly. The seventh soul ring on his body glowed as he continued chanting.

It sounded like an incantation, but it seemed to have a peculiar resonance. As the chanting went on, rays of Duskgold light spread out from underneath his feet soon after and converged into an array over ten meters in diameter.

Tang Wulin squinted his eyes. He could feel indistinctly that the unusual sound resonated strangely with Ao Wuchang’s voice. The resonance lingered and reverberated in the air as if it were softly calling something.

Ao Wuchang’s eyes were fixed on Tang Wulin while he was chanting the incantation, preparing to react as soon as Tang Wulin made a move.

However, Tang Wulin waved his hand at Ao Wuchang signalling him to continue. Tang Wulin had no intention of attacking Ao Wuchang. He merely stood there with an arrogant look on his face.

Ao Wuchang laughed coldly to himself. ‘Arrogant, huh? Very well. I’ll make you pay the price for that in a moment. Even though I’m just a Soul Douluo, given enough time, my abilities are no weaker than a Title Douluo’s. You’ll regret this.’

At the same time, Ao Wuchang was secretly feeling quite pleased, as this was the best opportunity for him. This way, he could put everything he had into display his abilities, such as the summoning that he was about to complete before their eyes.

“Aroo!” The three giant wolves summoned earlier suddenly gave out ferocious howls. It was as if their voices ignited a spark. The array underneath Ao Wuchang’s feet transformed in a split second. A deep roar that held the sound of dominance and endless ferocious energy fame from the array. A gigantic wolf’s head over five meters in diameter emerged slowly from the center of the array.

Ao Wuchang appeared to be slightly pale in color, but his eyes were filled with pride.

The three giant wolves summoned by Ao Wuchang earlier were actually his three soul skills. All three skills were exactly the same. Such an occurrence was almost unheard of in the soul masters’ world. However, his martial soul was peculiar, so he was bestowed with such soul skills.

A martial soul could be anything on the Douluo Continent. It could be a hoe, a cup, and it could certainly be a door!

This was the case for Ao Wuchang. He gained the door when his martial soul awakened at six years old. At the time, it appeared to be a useless martial soul door.

Yet when the door appeared, it gave him his inherent rank-8 soul power simultaneously. It was precisely due to this reason that he could embark on the path to a soul master’s cultivation.

Fortunately, he came from a rather wealthy clan. His inherent rank-8 soul power was a relatively impressive natural endowment and he could even be called a genius. Although he had yet to understand the function of the door, his clan still enrolled him in a soul masters’ academy.

Ao Wuchang was frequently bullied when he first enrolled in the soul masters’ academy because his martial soul was utterly useless. It was unable to grant him power and it was also incapable of launching attacks directly. It showed none of the effects of a tool soul, but calling it a beast soul was even less accurate.

Even Ao Wuchang began to feel dispirited until he cultivated to rank-10 and became the owner of his first spirit soul.

At the time, no one knew which type of spirit soul and soul ring should be attached to a martial soul of his kind. All they could do was guess.

His clan members decided that they dared not give him a very powerful spirit soul, but after consideration they were reluctant to lose out as well. So, they chose a demon wolf to be his spirit soul. It was a one-hundred-year spirit soul that was considered mediocre among spirit souls of such a rank.

Little did they know that Ao Wuchang would undergo some changes after fusing with this spirit soul.

When he opened that door of his once again, the spirit soul appeared to help him in battles.

In the beginning, the clan members were under the assumption that, like all spirit souls, this one was merely assisting its master to fight. However, they soon discovered something different. After being summoned using his door martial soul, the spirit soul had all the skills of a demon wolf. It was unlike any other spirit soul, which normally could only retain one soul skill it had before.

Ordinary spirit souls could only engage in combat for a limited period of time, and it would consume a large amount of the soul master’s soul power and spiritual power. On the other hand, not only was the spirit soul summoned by his door unrestricted by that limit, it became even more powerful.

As Ao Wuchang’s soul power rank rose, the spirit soul summoned from his summoning door was also elevating in power such that even his soul ring’s rank was changing. This was unique among soul masters’ spirit souls.

His clan and the Spirit Pagoda had a close relationship. They made ties with the organization afterward and brought him to the Spirit Pagoda. There they introduced this special martial soul to him.

With their ten thousand years’ worth of knowledge, the Spirit Pagoda had managed to find an unusual form of cultivation suited to him.

His martial soul was known as the Summoning Door. It was a martial soul that could use the soul master’s soul ring to summon the corresponding soul beast. If it was a pure soul ring then he could become even more powerful. If it was taken to its highest level, nine soul rings could be used to summon nine soul beasts to assist a battle.

However, soul beasts were in danger of going extinct in the modern world, so Ao Wuchang could only choose spirit souls. That was why his cultivation method was different from others. His three soul rings that appeared to summon three demon wolves actually came from only one spirit soul.

On the other hand, he used his peculiar cultivation method to make these three demon wolves produce a parallel resonance. As a result, he opened up a path between planes. The opening was small, but it could be used to summon soul beast of the same species.

Only after his cultivation base had reached seven rings was this summoning method complete. As a result, he was bestowed with formidable power in battle.

He had used the three demon wolves in addition to his martial soul avatar Summoning Door’s domain to summon the Wolf Emperor!

It was the Wolf Emperor, a one-hundred-thousand-year demon wolf!

It was not a one-hundred-thousand-year spirit soul. Ao Wuchang had actually summoned a complete one-hundred-thousand-year soul beast.

Tang Wulin suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart as he watched the gigantic wolf’s head emerge slowly. The summoning method seemed to trigger the plane’s resonance which signified that a one-hundred-thousand-year soul beast was coming from another plane.
