A stir immediately ran through the spectators at the sight of these eight soul rings, and they became even more eager to watch this match unfold. Everyone wanted to see an evenly-matched battle between powerful beings, and they were especially interested to see if this Soul Douluo could upset Yu Longyue.

Tang Wulin remained standing on the spot as lightning began to flash around his body, but he didn't attack right away.

Ao Wuchang was quite elated to see this. The main trait of his martial soul was that the longer the battle dragged on, the more powerful it became.

His first soul ring flashed, and an inky-black door of light appeared right in front of him. A low roar rang out from within the door of light immediately following which a giant black wolf emerged from within.

The wolf was over six meters in length and was extremely tall with exaggerated, almost cartoonish muscles bulging all over its body. Its fur gave off a glossy sheen, and it was very apparent that it possessed immense explosive power.

After the giant wolf emerged, it didn't immediately attack Tang Wulin. Instead, it sprang off to the side and began to slowly circle around Tang Wulin, but its vicious eyes were fixed on his body the entire time, looking as if it could pounce at any moment.

After summoning this giant wolf, Ao Wuchang was instilled with a lot of confidence, and his second and third soul rings also lit up as two more doors of light appeared beside the first one. Immediately thereafter, two more identical giant wolves emerged, and they also began to stalk around Tang Wulin without immediately attacking him.

The three giant wolves formed a triangular formation with Tang Wulin at their center, letting loose strings of menacing snarls.

All of a sudden, a burst of chanting rang out. Ao Wuchang didn't know why Tang Wulin was adopting such a passive approach, but this played right into his hands. His seventh soul ring lit up as he continued to chant his incantation, and at the same time, a series of golden lines began to spread from beneath his feet, forming a formation with a diameter of over 10 meters.

Tang Wulin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he could sense that the soundwaves released by Ao Wuchang's chanting were resonating with one another in a special way. These resonating soundwaves surged through the air, and they seemed to be calling out for something.

Ao Wuchang was watching Tang Wulin this entire time while he chanted his incantation, constantly preparing for a sudden attack from Tang Wulin.

However, Tang Wulin merely gestured for him to continue with a proud look on his face, displaying no intention to attack at all.

A cold look appeared in Ao Wuchang's eyes, and he was determined to make his opponent pay for his arrogance. Even though he was only a Soul Douluo, given sufficient time, he would be able to display Titled Douluo level power, and his opponent would sorely regret underestimating him.

At the same time, he was elated by this opportunity. Under these circumstances, he would be able to display 120% of his true power.

"Howl!" All of a sudden, the three giant wolves that had already been summoned began to howl in unison, and the formation beneath Ao Wuchang's feet instantly underwent a transformation as a ferocious roar that was filled with boundless might and authority rang out from within it. At the center of the formation, a massive wolf's head with a diameter of over five meters slowly emerged.

Ao Wuchang's face had turned very pale, but his eyes were filled with glee and triumph.

The three giant wolves he had summoned were his first three soul skills. Generally speaking, no Soul Master would possess three of the same soul skill, but this didn't apply to him due to the special nature of his martial soul.

On the Douluo Continent, a martial soul could be anything; it could be a pickax, it could be a cup, and of course, it could be a door!

When Ao Wuchang awakened his martial soul at six years of age, it was discovered to be a door, which was a trash martial soul in everyone's eyes.

However, at the same time, he had been blessed with innate eighth-rank soul power. It was exactly because of this that he embarked on the path of cultivation as a Soul Master.

Thankfully, his family was quite affluent, and with innate eighth-rank soul power, he could be considered as a prodigy. Even though no one knew what his door would be capable of, his family still enrolled him into a Soul Master academy.

After entering the academy, Ao Wuchang was often bullied as his martial soul wasn't able to do anything.

Even Ao Wuchang himself was beginning to fall into despair.

That was until he reached rank 10 in soul power and attained his first soul spirit.

At the time, no one knew what type of soul ring and soul spirit should be fused with his martial soul, so they could only make a blind guess.

After extensive discussion, his family didn't dare to give him too powerful a soul spirit, but they didn't want to settle for anything too weak, either. In the end, they chose a demonic wolf. This was only a mid-range soul spirit among hundred-year-old soul spirits, but to everyone's surprise, changes began to take place after Ao Wuchang fused with this soul spirit.

When he opened that door again, the soul spirit emerged to assist him in battle.

At the time, his family hadn't thought anything of this as all Soul Masters were able to summon their soul spirits. However, they quickly discovered that this was something different. The soul spirit released from the Door of Summoning possessed all of the demonic wolf's skills and abilities, whereas normal soul spirits would only be able to retain one of their soul skills.

Normal soul spirits could only battle for a limited time and would severely deplete the Soul Master's soul power and spiritual power, but not only was this soul spirit not bound by such limitations, it was made even more powerful by the Door of Summoning.

As Ao Wuchang continued to progress in his cultivation, the power of the soul spirit being released by his Door of Summoning was also becoming more powerful, and even his soul rings were slowly being upgraded.

His family had close ties with the Spirit Pagoda, and they introduced this strange martial soul of his to the Spirit Pagoda for guidance.

With over 10,000 years of accumulated knowledge and experience, the Spirit Pagoda really was able to find a suitable cultivation method for him.

His martial soul was known as the Door of Summoning, and it could directly summon soul beasts through his soul rings. If they were pure soul rings, then the summoned beasts would become even more powerful, and at his peak, he would be able to summon nine soul beasts to assist him in battle with his nine soul rings.

However, soul beasts were on the brink of extinction, so he could only choose soul spirits, thereby necessitating a change in his cultivation method.

He appeared to have summoned three demonic wolves with his first three soul rings, but they were actually all from a single soul spirit.

Through this special cultivation method, he was able to create a type of resonance between himself and the three demonic wolves, thereby allowing him to open up a passageway through which they could summon their brethren.

Only after he became a Soul Sage was this type of summoning method fully established, and it granted him immense combat prowess.

At this moment, he had combined the three demonic wolves and his martial soul true body to summon the Wolf Emperor, which was a 100,000-year-old demonic wolf!

This wasn't a 100,000-year-old soul spirit; it was a complete 100,000-year-old soul beast.

As the giant wolf head slowly emerged, a peculiar feeling suddenly welled up in Tang Wulin's heart. This type of summoning seemed to have evoked resonance between this plane and another plane, which meant that this 100,000-year-old soul beast had to actually exist in some alternate plane.
