Chapter 154: The Uniqueness of the System’s Spirit Soul Contract, and Da Ming and Er Ming’s Approval

After that, Xiao Wu immediately teleported to Da Ming's head, leaving space for the battle between Su Ming and Er Ming. Er Ming, standing tall, watched Su Ming. He was only acting as a sparring partner, so he didn't plan to attack first.

Su Ming, however, decided to go all out without holding back. There was no point in testing things slowly, as he knew there was no way he could defeat a Titan Giant Ape with the power equivalent to a rank 95 Titled Douluo while he was still only at the Spirit Ancestor level. Though this fight was mainly to test his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and shock them a bit, Su Ming also wanted to see if his Wood Release could pose any threat to Er Ming.

Silently, Su Ming communicated with Ah Yin, "Ah Yin, I'm going to use your Blue Silver Domain now. Let's see how effective it is."

Ah Yin's gentle voice responded, "Alright!"

Then, Su Ming activated Ah Yin's ability, even though neither Tang San nor Tang Hao was there. It was his first time using the Blue Silver Domain, so he was curious how much it would enhance his Wood Release techniques.

"Blue Silver Domain!"

Instantly, a bluish-silver domain expanded outward from Su Ming as the center.

Da Ming and Er Ming were both shocked. "This... is a domain!"

Da Ming, particularly, was stunned. He didn't expect that Su Ming, who was only a Spirit Ancestor, already had a domain. However, this domain felt somewhat strange, as if it carried a familiar aura and didn't seem like it belonged solely to Su Ming.

Soon, Da Ming's sharp eyes noticed Blue Silver Grass growing rapidly within the domain, as if cheering. Then, it hit him—this was the long-lost Blue Silver Emperor's Blue Silver Domain!

As the emperor of the Star Dou Forest, Da Ming had some knowledge about various ancient hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts. Though the Blue Silver Grass was a weak species, it had an absolute ruler: the Blue Silver Emperor, a ten-thousand-year spirit beast! However, the Blue Silver Emperor's presence had vanished many years ago, so why was it now appearing with Su Ming? How could Su Ming possess the Blue Silver Emperor's domain?

Da Ming asked, puzzled, "Su Ming, how do you have the Blue Silver Domain? What's your connection to the Blue Silver Emperor?"

Su Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, impressed that Da Ming had recognized the Blue Silver Domain so quickly.

In response, Su Ming activated his fourth spirit ring, which began glowing brightly. From the ring emerged an extremely beautiful woman, with a faint sadness between her brows that made her look endearing, radiating the gentle aura of a big sister next door.

Ah Yin's strength had recovered to fifty thousand years, and her figure was no longer as hazy as it had been when she was at two thousand years.

Xiao Wu, seeing this version of Ah Yin for the first time, was captivated by her gentle aura, which reminded her of her own mother. Xiao Wu felt a sense of warmth, thinking that Ah Yin resembled her mother quite a bit.

What Xiao Wu didn't realize was that in the original story, after becoming Tang San's wife, Ah Yin naturally became her mother-in-law. So, besides her biological mother, Ah Rou, in the original timeline, Xiao Wu had two other godmothers: Ah Yin and Liu Erlong. However, Xiao Wu had always been closer to Ah Yin due to her kind and nurturing nature, similar to Ah Rou.

As Da Ming and Er Ming saw a woman suddenly appear from Su Ming's spirit ring, they were stunned. What kind of ability was this?

Su Ming, thinking that Da Ming had already recognized it, allowed Ah Yin to show herself. He then explained the concept of the spirit soul contract to Da Ming and Er Ming, leaving both of them utterly shocked.

They never expected that Su Ming, not only with his incredible spirit power refinement technique and his special eyes, also had such an extraordinary idea—one that could potentially ease the conflict between humans and spirit beasts!

No wonder Su Ming had mentioned he wasn't interested in their spirit rings or bones. The spirit soul contract could temporarily alleviate tensions between humans and spirit beasts.

Though this method had its shortcomings, it was still far better than the current situation, where the Star Dou Forest's spirit beasts had been dwindling due to continuous hunting by spirit masters.

Su Ming: It's not that I'm uninterested in your spirit rings because of this method. I'm simply not interested in them, period!

His spirit rings primarily followed the path of enhancing support abilities, and Da Ming and Er Ming's spirit rings wouldn't suit him. Even if they did, Su Ming wouldn't consider taking them due to his relationship with Xiao Wu. He could always find suitable spirit rings elsewhere, but finding a sweet and gentle girlfriend wasn't so easy—and Xiao Wu was both.

Da Ming, after hearing Su Ming's explanation, said, "Su Ming, I'm grateful that you've come up with such a method. Even if you can't revive Xiao Wu's mother, your idea of the spirit soul contract has gained our approval of your relationship with Xiao Wu!"

"I hope one day we'll see you spread this method widely!"

Su Ming was surprised that revealing the spirit soul contract gained Da Ming and Er Ming's recognition so quickly. This was beyond his expectations—he hadn't even demonstrated his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan's abilities yet!

Cough, cough, Su Ming thought to himself. I was planning to show off my Kamui technique for some cool points, but even though they've accepted me, it won't hurt to show off a bit more. This will make Xiao Wu admire me even more—mwahaha!

Although Da Ming and Er Ming's recognition came unexpectedly, it made sense.

The system's spirit soul contract was a mutual agreement, not a master-servant contract. In this contract, the spirit master and the spirit beast were equals.

Moreover, the system had even modified the contract slightly. If the spirit master possessed exceptional talent, the spirit beast could eventually re-condense its physical body and ascend to the God Realm together with the master.

If the spirit master died prematurely, the contracted spirit beast wouldn't perish. Instead, it would lose half of its cultivation but be able to reform its physical body and survive.

This was different from the spirit soul contracts of Huo Yuhao's time. In that era, if the spirit master died, the spirit beast would also die, making it unfair for the beasts.

After all, the spirit masters could use the spirit rings provided by the spirit souls, and the spirit souls could assist in battle. The benefits for the spirit masters were numerous.

In Su Ming's version, spirit beasts could elevate their power alongside the spirit masters and ascend to the God Realm together—although this outcome was rare, as very few spirit masters could ascend. If the master died naturally, the spirit beast could lose half its power and live on.

When Su Ming revealed this, Da Ming thought the spirit soul contract was overall beneficial for spirit beasts, with no signs of exploitation.
