Chapter 3 – First Battle! The Falcon and the Soul Bone
"Good grief, isn't this that smelly bird? That old thing that got beaten black and blue last time? You two are just like Titan's watchdog."Lin Yuan was a little nervous. He didn't intend to run—he simply treated it as Daji's pet, the fifth soul ring.
But this was his first battle on the Douluo Continent!
Through the Detection Eye, Lin Yuan clearly saw the big bird's info:
[Soul Beast: Gale White Falcon][Age: 10,000 years][Innate Skill: Quickly charges into enemy flanks and launches ranged attacks.]
With his knowledge of soul beasts, Lin Yuan instantly understood what soul skill he would likely get after killing it—speed-type offensive abilities, such as Flash, Teleport, etc.
"Heh, perfect. Daji, get ready!"
Lin Yuan activated his Qilin Martial Soul's elemental possession; three soul rings appeared around him.On the other side, after obtaining her martial soul, Daji looked almost like an ordinary person. But the fox spirit within her awakened—her ears became fox ears, a fluffy tail grew behind her, and her nine soul rings appeared.
Although she had nine soul rings, the last five were gray in color, so she did not possess the oppressive aura of a Title Douluo.She was essentially a 49th-rank Soul Sect.
A Soul Sect plus a Soul Master facing a 10,000-year soul beast—pressure was immense.
"Daji, I'll attack first. After the falcon charges, stun it with your control skill."
"Understood, Master."
After a moment, the White Falcon flew over Lin Yuan, its red beak opening as it let out a cry.
"Waaah!"
Lin Yuan and Daji instantly felt stabbing pain in their minds, as if crushed by some force.
The falcon's wings suddenly vibrated—countless wind blades formed and rained down from above.
"First soul skill—Fire Qilin!"Lin Yuan released his first skill. The elemental Qilin ignited with crimson flames. Fire gathered in Lin Yuan's hands into a fireball. In an instant, the fireball collided with the falling wind blades—violent explosions knocked both sides back.
Sensing danger, the Gale White Falcon activated its innate ability—its figure vanished. No, not vanished, but charged at extreme speed.
In a blink, it was beside Lin Yuan. Its wings trembled again, trying to blast him away with wind force.
But it forgot Daji.
Her third soul ring lit up.
"Third soul skill—Idol Charm."
A pink heart floated toward the falcon. Before it could react, it froze, stunned completely.
Immediately after, Daji cast her second and fourth skills.
Whether it was 2-3-1 or 2-1-3, Daji's combos from Honor of Kings inflicted terrifying damage.
The White Falcon became Daji's first test subject in Douluo Continent.
Lin Yuan seized the best opportunity—meteors rained from the sky, followed by sharp ice spikes.
Even so, he underestimated the vitality of a 10,000-year soul beast.
Despite their attack power and defense, they still couldn't kill it instantly.
When the dust cleared—the falcon had vanished.
Not good, Lin Yuan thought.
Without giving him time to react, the falcon appeared behind him—its wings slicing through the air, launching wind blades.
Bang!
Lin Yuan was slammed into a large tree, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
It was his first life-or-death battle. He lacked experience and was injured. If not for using soul power to protect his back at the last second, he would already be dead.
"Master!"Daji shouted, panic in her eyes as she saw him knocked out.
"I'm fine."Lin Yuan stood up, shaking his head.
But the falcon, now enraged, swept forward again with stronger wind blades.
Lin Yuan knew he couldn't match it. He retreated desperately—but flying soul beasts had the strongest senses and vision among all soul beasts.
The falcon shone with silver light.
A silver beam shot from its beak—Its speed was terrifying, reaching Lin Yuan in an instant.
"Rrraa!"
Lin Yuan dodged by a hair's breadth, wiping cold sweat."Damn! I almost died!" he muttered.
The falcon flapped its wings—trees were uprooted, soil and rocks flew everywhere—the destructive force was horrifying.
"Hmph, this ends now! Second soul skill—Water Qilin!"
Water elements surged in his hands. A powerful water jet blasted forward.
Before the water reached the falcon—Love arrived first.Daji had used her third skill again, Idol Charm.
Hit by the charm, the falcon staggered, dizzy and barely maintaining balance.
The water jet struck next, followed by countless fireballs from Lin Yuan.
Finally, the Gale White Falcon collapsed in misery.A black soul ring slowly floated up from its corpse.
"Daji, absorb it!"
At Lin Yuan's command, Daji approached the ring, using soul power to draw it in. The process lasted several hours.
After finally absorbing it, Lin Yuan asked,
"Daji, what soul skill did you get?"
"Master, my fifth soul skill is called Fox Charm Strike. I can instantly teleport within three meters, and my attack and speed increase by 30%."Daji demonstrated as white light flashed around her.
"Hm, not bad. Quite similar to Flash." Lin Yuan recalled the Summoner Skill from Honor of Kings.
Just as they were ready to leave—
A surge of energy pulled at them. Something sparkling emerged from the falcon's body.
Lin Yuan's eyes widened."That is… a soul bone!"
He couldn't help thinking:Did I just become the Emperor of Europe?
No—the protagonist halo and the author's plot armor!
Lin Yuan picked up the soul bone. It was a right leg bone. He guessed the attached skill would be similar to Daji's mobility skill.
Neither of them absorbed it yet. Instead, they stored it in the system backpack.
A 10,000-year soul bone was too valuable to waste.
