Douluo: Peerless King of Beast Tamer

**Chapter 1: Zhou Sichen, Twin Martial Souls**

Douluo Continent, Xingdou Great Forest, Outskirts

The Xingdou Great Forest is one of the most extensive and oldest gathering places for soul beasts on the Douluo Continent. At a glance, towering ancient trees stretch beyond the horizon, filled with the unique fragrance and rich vitality of the forest.

In this outer area, most of the soul beasts living here are below the ten-thousand-year level, but even so, ordinary Soul King realm masters need to be cautious.

However, in such a dangerous forest, an extremely strange scene is occurring.

A large Ice Jade scorpion with a body length of more than three meters is moving forward steadily. On the back of this large scorpion, there is actually a human sitting!

Let alone the tension and hatred between humans and soul beasts; the appearance of this huge scorpion here is enough to make people feel incredulous.

This enormous Ice Jade scorpion is a species unique to the Far North, and it is also one of the top overlords in that region.

Its name is the Ice Jade Scorpion.

Legend has it that there are three super soul beasts in the Far North, known as the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North. These three powerful soul beasts have a realm beyond 100,000 years and are called fierce beasts!

One of the fierce beasts belongs to the Ice Jade Scorpion clan: the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, which ranks seventh among the ten fierce beasts!

Such a powerful Ice Jade Scorpion has become a human mount at this moment?

No matter who sees this scene, they will feel it is nothing short of incredible!

What is even more unbelievable is that the human on the back of the Ice Jade Scorpion is not very old. Judging from his appearance, he is definitely not more than fifteen years old.

Let's not even mention how this young man tamed this Ice Jade Scorpion, which has at least a thousand years of cultivation. Just the fact that he bravely ventured into the Xingdou Great Forest alone is enough to leave people dumbfounded.

As the oldest and most dangerous soul beast forest, this place is indeed synonymous with opportunities and miracles, but the dangers are truly unimaginable.

Even with this powerful Ice Jade Scorpion as a guardian, surviving here safely is not guaranteed.

There is a boy on the back of the Ice Jade Scorpion who looks at least fifteen years old, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a height of 183 cm, broad shoulders, an inverted triangle figure, a thin waist, long legs, and cold white skin.

His black ponytail is meticulously combed, and he is wearing a black training suit, appearing very clean and refreshing.

His name is Zhou Sichen.

He is a time traveler. For some unknown reason, he has entered the world of Douluo Continent Peerless Tang Sect era and has become the Zhou Sichen of the same name in the original work.

Some people might not remember this character at all, but because he shares the same name as Zhou Sichen, he remembers him.

In the original novel, Zhou Sichen's martial soul is a mutated treasure martial soul. The mutation of the martial soul, combined with good innate soul power, is likely to make him a strong warrior in the future.

When he read the original novel, Zhou Sichen thought that it might be the effect of the protagonist's halo. In the freshman competition, Zhou Sichen and his teammates were defeated without even showing their true strength.

Despite having very powerful martial souls, they were ultimately defeated miserably by Huo Gua...

Fortunately, everything is different now, because Zhou Sichen has traveled through time.

Perhaps this is a benefit of being a traveler: Zhou Sichen's treasure martial soul seems to have undergone a more powerful mutation. Now his treasure martial soul is not called a treasure but a Book of Contract.

The Ice Jade Scorpion beneath him is the product of his first soul ring and his first contracted soul beast.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Sichen can manipulate such a powerful soul beast at will. Moreover, the power of the Book of Contract is far greater than that.

Let's not dwell on other matters for now. Having just turned twelve, he has already reached level 37, which serves as the best proof of his abilities.

Even that is due to the fact that he did not focus solely on martial soul cultivation. If he had devoted all his thoughts to martial soul cultivation, he might have even reached level 40 by now.

But it's not too bad now. He has just turned twelve and reached level 37. Breaking through level 40 before the age of thirteen is not a problem for Zhou Sichen at this point.

Zhou Sichen did not start in a dilapidated orphanage; he has family and friends in this world.

His Zhou family is a reputable force on the mainland. His grandfather is also a soul douluo. In this world—where connections matter—he can barely protect himself.

Therefore, Zhou Sichen's cultivation resources have never been scarce since childhood. His family almost fulfills his every request, enabling him to achieve his current level of cultivation and strength.

At this moment, Zhou Sichen sits casually, as if nothing could shake him, regardless of what happens.

The massive body of the Ice Jade Scorpion moves between the ancient trees. When it encounters obstacles, its two enormous claws stretch out and clear the way.

As the Ice Jade Scorpion moves forward quickly, Zhou Sichen closes his eyes.

He is only level 37 and has come to the Star Dou Great Forest alone, not to obtain soul rings. The reason he has come at this specific time is for the first external cheat of Huo Gua in the original book!

In fact, this is not the first time Zhou Sichen has visited the Star Dou Great Forest, but if he doesn't achieve anything this time, encountering the million-year soul ring and Alex—who holds the sun and picks the stars—might not be his chance.

At this moment, the Ice Jade Scorpion beneath Zhou Sichen exudes a terrifying aura unique to thousand-year soul beasts, completely unleashing its aura.

He... is trying to attract the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

The Ice Jade Scorpion is a unique soul beast species found in the Far North. Will its sudden appearance in the Star Dou Great Forest catch the attention of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm? 

The answer is undoubtedly yes, because although the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm has average combat power, its mental prowess is unmatched.

In addition to the Ice Jade Scorpion, Zhou Sichen also releases his immense mental power because he knows that the host required by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm must be a spiritual soul master.

And he happens to be one.

This is because Zhou Sichen awakened another martial soul in addition to the Book of Contract martial soul.

He is a true owner of twin martial souls.

While twin martial souls may not be a big deal in this era—there are quite a few twin martial soul possessors; some even have triple martial souls—it may be a benefit and gift still afforded to a time traveler like Zhou Sichen, for his second martial soul is his very own body.

In other words, any part of his body can be considered the second body martial soul.

In addition to traditional soul masters, there are also special and powerful soul masters in this era whose martial soul is known as the body martial soul.

As the name suggests, the body martial soul is part of the body.

The body martial soul also has strengths and weaknesses. Generally speaking, the more crucial the part, the stronger the talent and the greater the chance of becoming a powerful individual or awakening again in the future.

Zhou Sichen using his body as a martial soul has never been recorded in the history of body martial souls. In other words, his body martial soul would be the strongest on the entire continent.

Nevertheless, Zhou Sichen did not choose to practice this martial soul first, but opted for the Book of Contract instead.

However, owing to his body martial soul, Zhou Sichen's mental strength surpasses that of ordinary individuals, and not only his mental power but also his physical fitness in various aspects is several times greater than that of ordinary people.

After years of practice, Zhou Sichen's strength has long surpassed that of soul masters at the same level.

Currently, he is just level 37, yet his mental strength is comparable to that of a Soul King around level 50.

With the Ice Jade Scorpion as bait and his powerful mental power as a lure, plus the fact that the time is very close to the arrival of Huo Gua, Zhou Sichen does not believe that the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm will not take the bait!
