"Is there more?"

Although this spatial domain was already incredibly powerful, Tang San remembered that Xiao Wu had mentioned before that the Soft Boned Rabbit clan could create an independent space upon reaching the 100,000-year level. Even if the Soft Boned Rabbit died, that space would persist, attracting spatial fragments from the void.

With Xiao Wu awakening her spatial domain, could she also create a similar space?

Tang San was confident that, using the starry sky world within his Blue Silver Emperor, he could connect those spaces to Xiao Wu's, allowing her to control the wealth left behind by the Soft Boned Rabbits.

"My domain is essentially equivalent to the space that a 100,000-year Soft Boned Rabbit can create," Xiao Wu explained, understanding what Tang San was getting at. "Surprisingly, I can sense the existence of those spaces. They seem to have merged together."

The small spaces created by generations of 100,000-year-level Soft Boned Rabbits had converged and continuously attracted spatial fragments from the cosmic void. The combined area was nearly half the size of the Douluo Continent.

In Xiao Wu's perception, this space had formed into a wild world with life, resembling the Star Dou Forest in some areas, populated by various soul beasts. However, these soul beasts were purely instinctual, akin to ordinary animals, and possessed no wisdom. Their lack of intelligence actually made them more formidable in combat than real-world soul beasts.

"It seems to be a semi-plane that hasn't fully manifested into reality."

After hearing Xiao Wu's account, Tang San realized that this was likely the precursor to the Ascension Platform's world in "Douluo Dalu 3." Unexpectedly, it had reached near-completion in this era. According to the setup in "Douluo Dalu 4," the things in that world were formed by energy close to celestial aura, with fragments originating from the shattered God Realm during the battle between the Dragon God and the five God Kings.

"This is your greatest gain this time!"

"Can you connect with it?"

If Xiao Wu could enter that space, the soul beasts there would be invaluable. The energy from their deaths could enhance soul rings' ages, and their soul bones could be brought into the real world. It would be a veritable treasure trove!

"No."

Xiao Wu shook her head. "I can sense it, but I can't enter. It seems the laws there reject real living beings… but mental power can enter, so souls should be able to. I suspect the soul beasts there might be fragments of real-world soul beasts' souls that drifted in after death, achieving 'resurrection.' However, due to incomplete soul fragments mixing together, they lack wisdom and can only act on instinct."

This also meant that Xiao Wu didn't regard the soul beasts in that space as her kin, as their behavior was more akin to wild animals rather than soul beasts. Additionally, she couldn't see any weaker soul beasts there, such as Soft Boned Rabbits or bamboo rats.

"That's not a problem; we can research it gradually."

Tang San wasn't in a rush. Since Xiao Wu had already established a connection with that world, they just needed to keep exploring and experimenting, eventually figuring out how to enter and control it. Mastering the spatial path wasn't easy, even if Xiao Wu had awakened her spatial domain. For now, she could only use it instinctively without fully understanding the underlying principles.

"Now, tell me about your soul skills. What will your martial soul true body look like?"

"I won't turn into a rabbit."

Xiao Wu knew what Tang San was thinking—he probably imagined she would transform into a giant rabbit. But the truth was different:

In her martial soul true body state, compared to her beast-possessed form, fewer parts of her became beast-like. Only a pair of rabbit ears remained on her head, along with a round, fluffy tail on her waist.

The rabbit fur on her thighs and arms disappeared, replaced by electrical sparks and fireworks wrapping around them. Golden patterns intertwined around her body, converging at her spine.

"This is my martial soul true body state. As a 100,000-year transformed soul beast who chose to become human, it naturally diverges from my original soul beast form."

Xiao Wu explained some secrets Tang San wasn't aware of, "Human beast spirit masters, upon reaching Soul Saint, often undergo partial beastification to gain greater strength. In contrast, soul beasts that transform into humans gradually shed their beast form, transforming their cultivation essence into a human form."

"From your perspective, a transformed soul beast's body is indistinguishable from a human's, though it hasn't reached full maturity. But for us transformed soul beasts, maturity means fully converting our cultivation essence into a human form."

"However, if we follow your previous idea of taking a transformed soul beast's cultivation essence without harming them, it could turn a soul beast directly into a human. But they would lose their martial soul in the process."

Lan Yinzi nodded in agreement, "Exactly. Although a transformed soul beast's body becomes human, their cultivation essence remains that of a soul beast. Only after reaching level seventy can they purify it into a human form, attaching it to their martial soul as a soul ring. At this point, their human body and martial soul exist separately, making it impossible for a Titled Douluo to recognize them as a transformed soul beast."

Tang San noted this down and then asked, "How effective is this state in terms of enhancement?"

"It's amazing! In my martial soul true body state, all my attributes are increased by seven hundred percent, or seven times! And when I reach Soul Douluo, it'll be eight times; at Titled Douluo, nine times." Xiao Wu grinned and made a punching gesture.

Bang!

In an instant, a loud explosion echoed as a white stream of air shot out, nearly piercing a third of the Blue Silver Forest, leaving a massive gap. The gap quickly healed as the Blue Silver Grass grew back.

Xiao Wu remained in her punching stance as if she hadn't even moved.

"Please don't experiment here," Lan Yinzi pleaded, not wanting the Blue Silver Grass in the forest to be too frightened, even though most lacked consciousness. She was shocked by Xiao Wu's punching power. "How fast was your punch just now? I couldn't even see it!"

That punch wasn't just one—it was a hundred punches! Tang San saw it clearly. In that brief moment, Xiao Wu had thrown a hundred punches, with the final punch combining the force of the previous ninety-nine, creating the dramatic effect.

Of course, this was partly due to Xiao Wu's physical attributes and the other soul rings enhancing her martial soul.

However, Tang San knew that a hundred punches weren't Xiao Wu's limit, and she hadn't even used her soul skills yet. Especially her fifth soul skill, Flame Fist—if used in her martial soul true body state, it would cause even greater destruction.

"What is your second soul skill?" Tang San asked, pleased with Xiao Wu's current strength.

"Heh, my seventh soul ring's second soul skill is incredible. Once used, combined with my martial soul true body and fusion ring state, I could fight an Ultimate Douluo!"

Xiao Wu was about to demonstrate but was stopped by Lan Yinzi to prevent environmental damage to the Blue Silver Forest.

Tang San could use the Blue Silver Emperor true body because it wouldn't harm any Blue Silver Grass, but Xiao Wu's destructive power made it clear she couldn't use her skills here.
