Douluo: Reincarnated As Dai Weisi

Chapter 37: Blood-Eating Vine

After "checking" Dugu Yan's body, Dugu Bo forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, Yanyan, you're not poisoned. You're very healthy!"

"Huh, that's good."

Dugu Yan let out a breath of relief. Since Grandpa said it was fine, then it must be fine.

"Yanyan, stay home and train well. Grandpa has something to take care of."

"Ah? Grandpa, you just got back and now you're leaving again?"

"Sorry, Yanyan, I really do have important business. But don't worry—once I return this time, I'll make sure to stay with you for a good while."

"Alright, Grandpa, you have to keep your word!"

"Mm, it's a deal."

Dugu Bo smiled, then stepped out, rose into the air, and headed straight for the Star Luo Empire without hesitation.

In the courtyard of the Prince's Mansion in Star Luo City, Anna was meditating to cultivate her soul power.

Suddenly, crisp crackling sounds like popping beans echoed from within her body, and a powerful burst of soul power erupted like a rolling wave. At the same time, she felt as though something within her had finally broken through.

Anna opened her eyes wide, her dark eyes gleaming like black pearls. She exclaimed in delight,

"Brother Weis, I broke through! I really did! My soul power reached level ten!"

"Oh? Already level ten? That's excellent, Nana!"

Dai Weis' eyes lit up. It had now been a full month since he had adopted Anna.

In just this short time, Anna not only perfectly completed all the physical training he had arranged, but also maintained consistent meditation without fail.

She was now even able to digest the ten-thousand-year whale glue. Her physical constitution had already reached an astonishing level. The energy of the ten-thousand-year whale glue no longer had any noticeable effect on her.

"You truly are a genius with innate level-nine soul power. Back then, it took me over six months to reach level ten."

After a pause, Dai Weis smiled and said,

"Nana, now that your soul power has reached level ten, let's go obtain your spirit ring—how about it?"

"Yes! Brother Weis, I can't wait to become a spirit master."

Anna beamed with excitement.

Over the past month, she had seen all kinds of spectacular soul skills performed by Dai Weis, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others. Naturally, she was eager to find out what soul skill she would receive once she became a spirit master.

"Alright, let's not waste time. Uncle Li, prepare the carriage—we're heading to the Star Dou Great Forest!"

"Ah? To the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Li Hu was shocked. "Prince, is it necessary to go all the way to the Star Dou Forest just to get the first spirit ring? Wouldn't the nearby Soul Hunting Forest be enough?"

"No. I've already explored the nearby Soul Hunting Forest. There are too few plant-type soul beasts there—aside from Blue Silver Grass, there's practically nothing. It's better to head straight for the Star Dou Great Forest."

Although plant-type spirits can absorb soul rings from beast-type soul beasts, doing so often causes incompatibility. It's always best for a spirit master with a plant-type spirit to absorb a plant-type soul ring.

Look at that fool—how the mighty Blue Silver Emperor was utterly ruined by Yu Xiaogang. A martial soul with innate life attributes ended up focusing on poison. His first, third, and fourth soul rings were all mismatched. Only the second soul skill, Parasitism, was remotely usable.

Dai Weis would never repeat Yu Xiaogang's mistake.

Anna's Hundred Herbs spirit could absorb soul rings from any plant-type soul beast with zero conflict—even at higher ages.

"Alright, Uncle Li, go prepare the carriage."

"Yes, Prince. But since we're heading to the Star Dou Great Forest, should we invite Dean Lin to accompany us?"

"No need. We'll only be on the outskirts of the forest this time. I don't expect there to be any danger. And even if something unexpected does happen—don't forget—I'm carrying plenty of grenades. No need to worry."

"Yes, understood."

Soon, Li Hu brought around a carriage, and the three of them set out for the Star Dou Great Forest.

Li Hu was already very familiar with the route. After about a week, they arrived safely at the outskirts of the forest.

"My goodness! Brother Weis! This is the Star Dou Great Forest? It's so beautiful—so majestic!"

Looking at the dense canopy, towering ancient trees, and the lush layers of green stretching endlessly, Anna couldn't help but cheer in awe. It was her first time seeing such a grand natural scene.

If Dai Weis hadn't grabbed her in time, the silly girl might've rushed straight into the forest.

Seeing her reaction, Dai Weis chuckled bitterly.

When he first came to the Star Dou Great Forest, he'd also been stunned by the ocean of trees.

But once he saw the corpses scattered throughout the forest with his own eyes, he completely changed his perspective.

In this forest, spirit masters hunt soul beasts, and soul beasts also hunt spirit masters.

Both sides hunt the weak.

No one can say for certain—are you the hunter, or the prey?

"Nana, remember this. The forest is dangerous. Don't make too much noise—or you might draw the attention of powerful soul beasts."

"Okay, I understand."

Anna quickly covered her mouth.

"Let's move."

Li Hu took the lead, with Dai Weis observing the surroundings carefully—especially searching for plant-type soul beasts.

Squeak!

Suddenly, a ten-year-old soft-bone rabbit scampered across their path, chewing on a piece of grass, oblivious to the danger it was in.

Whoosh!

A sharp dagger flashed through the air like lightning and pierced the rabbit from behind. With a soft thud, the soft-bone rabbit fell—dead on the spot.

A soft white soul ring appeared, hovering faintly over its body.

"Nice. Looks like we've got lunch."

Dai Weis walked over to the rabbit's corpse and said,

"Nana, pay attention! When absorbing a soul ring, you need to release your soul power to attract the ring, and guide it into your martial soul through meditation—like this."

He released soul power, drawing the soul ring toward him slowly.

"Since my soul power is only level 48 and hasn't hit a bottleneck, I can't absorb this soul ring. It will dissipate after about an hour. Let's take a break. We'll look for a soul beast suitable for you this afternoon."

Dai Weis sat down and began roasting the soft-bone rabbit. Although lighting a fire in the forest wasn't ideal, they were still on the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest—and with Li Hu, a Soul Saint, guarding them, there was no real danger.

After lunch, the three of them resumed their search for a suitable spirit beast for Anna.

Heaven helps those who work hard. After three hours, Dai Weis finally spotted a soul beast that seemed perfect for Anna.

He looked up at a hundred-meter-high tree. Wrapped tightly around the trunk was a striking blood-colored vine.

The vine was covered in razor-sharp barbs, burrowing deep into the bark and greedily sucking out the tree's nutrients. Before their eyes, the great tree withered, little by little.

The moment Li Hu saw the vine, his expression changed.

"Prince! That's a Blood-Eating Vine—a soul beast that survives by parasitizing other organisms and draining their life force!"

"The longer the vine, the higher its cultivation age. Judging by that length—nearly seven meters—it must be close to seven hundred years old!"
