Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 21: Even if you scream your lungs out, the bear won't come to your rescue (Please read on!!!)
Zhu Jiuyang carefully observed the magic array that Su Ming had drawn, and it was indeed quite impressive.

After Su Ming finished carving it, he did indeed feel the power of that contract.

Is it really a contract formation?
Zhu Jiuyang was surprised.

Su Ming always goes all out. This is a set of formations he designed after studying soul formations in depth during the third era of Dou Di Zhuan, which he can use as a contract in the first era of Dou Di Zhuan.

Most importantly, it really did have the effect Su Ming described.

However, it is also easy for accidents to happen, turning it into a magic circle that transforms souls.

After ten thousand years of development, by the time of Douluo Continent III, the Spirit Pagoda had already developed a different array than the one that Huo Yuhao needed the consent of the soul beast to use. This array could forcibly transform unconscious soul beasts into soul spirits, regardless of their age. Of course, if one wanted to absorb such a ten-thousand-year-old soul spirit, it was best to obtain the other party's approval, otherwise there might be a backlash.

The Dark Gold Bear is only a thousand years old. Even if it is a magic array that forcibly transforms the soul, it can absorb and fuse with it without worrying about backlash.

In any case, Su Ming had no intention of obtaining Dark Gold Bear's consent.

Whether you agree or not, let's integrate first.

Su Ming killed the Dark Gold Bear, and the magic circle began to operate. As the magic circle lit up one after another, Su Ming's soul power was attracted by the magic circle, and then the Dark Gold Bear's soul power was also attracted. The two quickly formed a contract.

Zhu Jiuyang was about to breathe a sigh of relief as everything seemed to be going smoothly, but suddenly sensed something was wrong.

He stared at the magic circle and noticed that some parts of it were crumbling, as if Su Ming hadn't done a proper job when he inscribed it.

That's fine, if the magic array doesn't work, then so be it.

The fatal thing was that Zhu Jiuyang heard the Dark Gold Bear's roar.

He looked at the Dark Gold Bear's corpse and found that there was no spirit ring above the Dark Gold Bear's corpse, but instead its spiritual body appeared!
He now exists in the form of a spiritual entity.

What about spirit rings?
Zhu Jiuyang knew a lot and was also worried a lot. When he saw this scene, he immediately thought of Ghost Douluo Ghost Phantom. Ghost Phantom died in an accident when he was young, but his soul was still there. He then possessed another body and was resurrected. His martial soul also awakened and became Ghost Phantom.

Could the Dark Gold Bear be like that too?

Just as Zhu Jiuyang was worried that the Dark Gold Bear's spirit would return to his body, the dark gold phantom was directly absorbed by Su Ming.

Su Ming kept his eyes closed the whole time, seemingly unaware of what was happening.

Three hours later.

A soul ring radiating a noble purple aura gradually condensed around Su Ming's body.

Zhu Jiuyang breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene.

He successfully absorbed the spirit ring, but the unexpected events along the way still bothered him. He planned to ask Su Ming about the situation after he woke up.

Su Ming awakens.

He looked at Zhu Jiuyang and asked, "Teacher, why do you look so pale? Did something happen?"

Zhu Jiuyang stared at Su Ming seriously, asked him some questions, and then described everything that had happened.

Su Ming was shocked.

"What? The Dark Gold Bear's spirit has merged with me?"

"First, feel your own body and see if there are any changes. Find the spirit of the Dark Gold Bear. If you haven't completely absorbed it, then it must still be lurking in your body, waiting for an opportunity to harm you."

Su Ming said regretfully, "I won't try these kinds of things recklessly next time."

He was both frustrated and aware of the changes within himself.

The change was very obvious, because he felt that he had gained an extra space, and after his consciousness sank into his body, he clearly felt a summoning force.

He entered that space very obediently.

The sea of ​​spirit.

Su Ming condensed his consciousness within the Sea of ​​Spirit, gave it a quick scan, and was fairly satisfied with it. His attention was then focused on the constantly roaring dark golden phantom within the Sea of ​​Spirit.

“Stop yelling. No matter how much you yell, no other bear will come to save you,” Su Ming said.

The dark gold bear bared its teeth and showed a fierce look at Su Ming.

“A thousand-year-old soul beast should theoretically possess a certain level of spirituality. We are in the Sea of ​​Spirit, which is a spiritual exchange, so you should be able to understand what I mean.” Su Ming said very decisively, “To put it bluntly, you have now become a soul spirit body and exist by relying on my Sea of ​​Spirit. As long as I don’t die, you will continue to exist, just in a different place to sleep.”

The Dark Gold Bear remains extremely ferocious.

"Your bloodline is about to undergo a transformation, which is why you harbor deep resentment towards me. This is understandable. In fact, you still have a chance to complete the subsequent transformation. I am a Soul Master, and I have more ways to help you complete this transformation. Your soul spirit body can still enjoy the effects of this transformation."

Only after Su Ming said that did the Dark Gold Bear slowly restrain its ferocity.

"You must understand that a Soul Master can cover in a short period of a hundred years what a Soul Beast takes thousands or tens of thousands of years to achieve, and some can even surpass the efforts of a Soul Beast that take a hundred thousand years. This is our advantage as Soul Masters. Even if you transform into a Soul Spirit body, you still have the potential to improve. Under my guidance, you will definitely be able to cultivate faster than if you were to cultivate on your own."

The dark gold bear gradually calmed down, but it did not let its guard down and remained hostile towards Su Ming.

"Think about it yourself."

The first attempt at persuasion had this effect, which was satisfactory to Su Ming.

Upon opening his eyes, Su Ming heard Zhu Jiuyang's voice.

"How's it going? Did you find it?"

Su Ming reassured Zhu Jiuyang, saying, "Teacher, it's not a big problem. He has transformed into a spiritual form and successfully formed a contract with me. He is still in the form of a spiritual body, but he depends on me for his existence. If something happens to me, he won't be able to survive either."

He briefly explained the existence of the soul.

"He's currently residing in my spiritual sea. I'll communicate with him frequently. He's not very intelligent, so it's easy for me to persuade him. Perhaps he can even be an asset in my future battles."

"Roar!" (The bear can hear it!)
"Roar!" (You're the one with a low IQ! Your whole family has a low IQ!)

The Dark Gold Bear instantly became enraged, frantically pounding the surface of the water formed by spiritual energy beneath its feet within Su Ming's spiritual sea.

"Actually, I also hope he has a higher IQ, so that he can better understand his current situation, make up with me, and cooperate for mutual benefit. That would be the best choice. His spirit is still there, so maybe he will have a chance to be resurrected in the future."

"Roar!" (That makes sense!)

The Dark Gold Bear stopped hammering the water and began waiting for Su Ming to come in for the next negotiation.

As he waited, he fell asleep on the spot.

"I can't believe it's possible." Zhu Jiuyang was amazed by the symbiotic relationship between Su Ming and the Dark Gold Bear.

"I plan to name the Dark Gold Bear form Soul Spirit, because I feel that the Soul Spirit form brings a huge boost."

"Oh? For example?" Zhu Jiuyang asked curiously.

What additional benefits can be gained from absorbing a soul ring in the form of a spirit?
"My changes will be deeper and more thorough. For example, my first soul skill has evolved from the previous Vajra Power to the Dark Gold Power now."

A yellow spirit ring shone brightly around Su Ming's body.

"First Soul Skill, Dark Gold Power!"

His body grew taller and changed significantly from his previous Vajra body, transforming from a black Vajra-like color to a dark gold color, and the aura surrounding his body also turned dark gold.

Despite its outward appearance, the underlying changes are far greater.

In Su Ming's perception, the power of dark gold was at least twice as strong as the power of diamond.

"In the form of a spirit, I feel that he still has a chance to transform into the bloodline of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. If the evolution is successful, my first spirit skill will be affected, and the Dark Gold power may be enhanced. This is just the change he brought to my first spirit skill."

"What about your second soul skill? What kind of second soul skill did you acquire?" Zhu Jiuyang asked.
