11 CH 11: Majestic Heart's 1st soul ring

"Xiao Li... You're too damn lucky..." Yue Guan curled her lips, staring at the two soul beasts in the distance which were chosen to be the soul rings for Ah Li's first and fourth martial souls, Majestic Heart and Majestic Tyrant Axe.

The soul beasts were actually together, which was an odd combination since one of them was a huge moose and the other was a pretty flower. The moose, seeming to be a millennium (1,000) soul beast according to Bibi Dong, was mainly blue in color, with a white chest and stomach, white dots like a leopard and two huge antlers.

The soul beast, the flower, was actually a rose with soul power running through it. But it wasn't red, pink, white, or any other color a normal rose would be. The rose was actually galaxy themed, just like Crow and Alien X! It looked extremely weird, resembling the starry night. But it also had a unique and magical charm to itself.

"Stardust Flower... Actually that magical flower!" The femboy titled douluo whispered in excitement and disbelief as he stared at the flower, seemingly having forgotten all the sourness in his heart because of Ah Li's talent.

"Elder Guan, do you know what this soul beast is? I don't recall ever seeing it." Bibi Dong questioned, and Yue Guan began to explain with excitement, but still trying to keep up a polite front :"Your holiness, it's normal to not know about this soul beast.

The name of this flower is Stardust Flower, and it's an extremely rare and powerful soul beast! It's rare to the point where one appearing every few hundred years or even in a millennia is a miracle!

The only reason I know of it is because I accidentally saw it in one of my books and it caught my attention. It's said that this martial soul isn't born normally, but by the essence of heaven and earth combining! And the power of this soul beast is nothing short of heavenly!

This soul beast is unique because of two things, its appearance and the way it lives. As you can see, this soul beast will always partner up with another soul beast to protect it. This soul beast doesn't really hold any power or strength, but it has one miraculous ability.

The power to heal! As to how powerful the healing ability is, it is powerful to the point where its partner and guardian doesn't need to worry about dying as long as it wasn't one shotted or completely destroyed!

The healing ability of this soul beast is said to be the strongest among all soul beasts! And because of this ability and it being an auxiliary soul beast, other soul beasts will always try to partner up with it."

Looks of surprise appeared on the faces of everyone before Gui Mei looked at his old friend with suspicion :"Old flower, are you sure? How can there be such a magical soul beast?"

Earning a glare from his femboy of a friend :"Old ghost, you of all people should know that nobody's knowledge matches up to mine when it comes to flowers and herbs. How long have we lived for? You should know how many weird and amazing things are in the world. Would I tell lies to her holiness?

Your holiness, in my humble opinion, this soul beast is the most suitable for Xiao Li's Majestic Heart martial soul if he wants to take that martial soul in the auxiliary path.

The healing ability of this soul beast is simply terrifying. In my records, once it becomes a millennium soul beast, it can regenerate missing limbs in a matter of seconds! This Stardust Flower is a century soul beast, about 400 to 700 years old if I'm correct. So killing its partner shouldn't be that hard.

Even though its age is low, the strength of its ability makes up for it. If Xiao Li gains its healing ability, he definitely doesn't need to worry about getting harmed in battles! Not choosing this soul beast would simply be a waste of a heavenly treasure."

"Is that so?" Bibi Dong hummed thoughtfully, looking at the two soul beasts before nodding at her younger disciple :"Alright, then that's what you'll do, Xiao Li. There isn't a single person who is as knowledgeable as elder Guan when it comes to herbs and plants, so I trust in his words. That Stardust Flower will become your soul ring.

That Diamond Antler Moose is also a pretty good choice for your Majestic Tyrant Axe. It's a top grade soul beast when it comes to attacking power. There aren't that many soul beasts that would dare stand against it. It will surely give you a very good soul skill."

"Mhm, understood, master." Ah Li simply nodded with a smile before his master started walking towards the soul beasts :"Follow me." The red eyed boy was a little surprised, but he smiled in interest as he immediately followed her while the others stood behind.

Ever since they had gotten here, only Yue Guan and Gui Mei had done everything that needed force. Now, he was curious and excited to see Bibi Dong in action!

The moment the two walked close enough, the resting moose immediately got up while soul power coursed through the flower :"Moo!" A low-pitched, threatening sound was let out by the beast as it got ready to attack.

But when it saw the humans not slowing down or backing off, it immediately got into a rushing stance :"Moo!!" As it stomped its feet on the ground, it immediately rushed towards the master and disciple!

"Hmph, pest." But Bibi Dong just let out a snort of disdain at the face of the rushing creature. And the moment her voice fell, a terrifying soul power suddenly filled up the area, and forced the rushing moose down to its knees!

Ah Li wasn't under the effect of it, but even he could feel the enormous and horrifying force of the pure soul power that his master let out! The Diamond Antler Moose couldn't even struggle to get up! It was shaking violently, while unable to even move an inch from its place!

It only took a few seconds before the giant creature passed out from the sheer force of the oppressive soul power. Obviously, the Stardust Flower tried to heal its companion and guardian, but the speed of Bibi Dong's soul power damaging the moose was a lot faster than the healing power of the merely century soul beast.

"Don't worry about the moose. Just go and kill the Stardust Flower, absorb its soul ring, then you can kill this Diamond Antler Moose and absorb its soul ring as well." The milf nodded calmly at her disciple, and the red eyed boy smiled excitedly :"You got it! Just give me a lil while!"

And without hesitation, he immediately walked towards the night-like flower that shook violently, trying to heal its partner so they could fight back. Its tremors only intensified as Ah Li got closer.

"Sorry, pal. Blame me if you want, just know that I'm not gonna care." The young boy smirked, gripped his knife and swiped it right at its stem (body), cutting it in half and killing the soul beast with ease, and causing its century soul ring to come out.

"I'll get to it now!" Making an okay gesture with his fingers, the kid smiled back at his master before sitting down in a lotus position a little away from the floating yellow soul ring. Focusing his soul power into his heart, he "released" his Majestic Heart martial soul.

Just like before, he took a deep breath as he focused his soul power on the soul ring :'Come on, Omnitrix, don't disappoint...' Once the soul ring reached him, it came down and shrank around him before the soul power started to pour into the young boy's body.

However, unlike the soul power of the Wind Wolf, this soul power was significantly gentler! Probably because of its nature as a healing soul beast instead of a violent one. That didn't mean that it didn't fight back though.

But well, Ah Li wasn't really bothered this much. It may have been because of his first soul ring already being a millennium soul ring. There was also the soul power itself being gentler, and the soft snort of the aliens lying dormant. As he started to absorb the soul power, the others came to them.

"It appeared again, huh?" Bibi Dong hummed once Omnitrix appeared on its own and let out a green light that integrated with the yellow soul ring, slowly turning it from a yellow century soul ring to a purple millennium soul ring!

Once the changes were complete and the soul ring had turned into a complete millennium soul ring, the green light retreated back into the Omnitrix like a snake, before the alien watch disappeared as well.

"Just how is this possible...?" Yue Guan curled his lips in shock :"This simply goes against common sense! How can there be a soul power that can raise the age of a soul ring?! That's something only gods can do!"

"Heh, isn't that what geniuses are supposed to be?" Bibi Dong smirked with a simple glance at her :"Soul masters that can break and ignore common sense. That is what a real genius is supposed to be. And from what I've seen so far, Xiao Li has earned that title."

Minutes turned to hours, and hours slowly passed with Ah Li absorbing the soul ring and the others being on the lookout. The poor moose had also woken up a time or two, but it was immediately knocked out again.

The sky had already begun to get dark, and the light of the forest with the ancient tree had dimmed even more. As the chirping sound of the crickets gently began to fill the place, a gentle wave of soul power left Ah Li when he finished absorbing the soul ring.

Opening his eyes, he let out a soft and comfortable sigh before he looked down. Seeing his purple soul ring, a satisfied, toothy grin appeared on his adorable face. His true nature, sadistic and sinister, slightly slipping out.

"So?" He suddenly heard a feminine voice from beside him, causing him to shriek in surprise :"KYAAAA?!" But when he looked, he saw that it was just Yue Guan who rolled his eyes at him :"Stop overreacting."

With his hand on his chest, he tried to calm down his rapidly beating heart with a glare :"Geez, uncle Guan! What the heck?!" Earning another eye roll :"I told you to stop overreacting. So tell me, what is your soul skill?"

"Overreacting... Who was the person who was crying because of jealousy just a while ago?" Ah Li sarcastically remarked, rolling his eyes and speaking when he earned a glare from the titled douluo :"Fine, fine. Whatever. Yes, I got the healing ability of the Stardust Flower."

"Great! Fantastic!" Yue Guan clapped his hands in excitement before the black haired boy got up and shrugged :"But not in the way you'd expect. My soul skill is actually a completely different ability."

"Huh? What?" The femboy asked, furrowing his cute eyebrows in confusion :"What does that mean? How did you gain its healing ability if not with your soul skill?"

"Like this." The small boy smirked, raising his right hand before it lit up in the same intense crimson color. However, just as the titled douluo looked at it with confusion, and the others who walked over looked with curiosity, the flame actually turned from crimson to a green fire! Radiating life instead of hotness and destruction!

"W-wait... You mean... Your fire..." Yue Guan shakily pointed at Ah Li's green fire before the owner of the fire smirked smugly :"Yup, my Ultimate Fire now has the same healing ability as the Stardust Flower!"

Seeing the absolutely shocked and speechless face of the titled douluo, everybody else kept quiet. But they were all a little startled when he suddenly grabbed his old friend's arm and stabbed it with a knife :"Ow! Old flower, what the hell?!"

But his old friend didn't answer him. He just held up Gui Mei's arm with an excited and nervous face while looking at the young boy :"T-then can it heal this wound?! Come on, try it already!"

'... The audacity of this bastard...' Ghost douluo stared at his friend with a speechless face :'... You fucking stabbed me for this...? Damn bastard... Be happy her holiness and the kids are here, otherwise, I would've definitely fought you now…'
