--- Chapter 443 ---

After watching Sara and Uchiha Madara fight, Yunlong visited the Moon's ancestral palace and observed the Great Tenseigan (Energy Vessel) with interest. 

This massive golden-colored glove is the strong vessel that holds many Byakugans of the Otsutsuki Clan's branch. The Byakugans form a link with each other, creating this unique and rich chakra.

The Mugen Chakra Mode dawned upon him because Sara doesn't have Eyes' prowess nor Otsutsuki's bloodline. If she could achieve this much by borrowing Great Tenseigan's energy, others should be able to do the same.

Of course, we should change the medium and energy first. 

After all, ordinary people couldn't possibly use Great Tenseigan's energy, or else they would explode into bits. And that was the topic Yunlong talked about with Sara for the next few hours. 

Thankfully, Sara is more than happy to answer Yunlong's question. 

In fact, she was very enthusiastic and acted like that girl who had a crush on you.

On the altar beneath the Great Tenseigan, Yunlong sat on the floor and rubbed his chin thoughtfully. 

"I see... So, you altered the Great Tenseigan's chakra and turned it into pure chakra that your chakra points can handle. After that, you blend the purified chakra with your chakra, a method inspired by Sage Mode." 

Sara nodded and added, "Mm, when Naruto fought Toneri, I noticed that his chakra fluctuation changed compared to when I met him. It has Sage of Six Paths' traits similar to the Great Tenseigan's chakra." 

"Well, understandable because Ancestor Hamura is the younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths." 

"Realizing the similarity, I experimented while lying on my deathbed." She smiled weakly. "At the time, I just sealed the berserk Great Tenseigan's chakra, and some lingering chakra entered my body." 

"That's the moment I could enter Mugen Chakra Mode, but I never did as my body wasn't strong enough. One try and my body would get ruined to oblivion." 

"It's all thanks to you, Yunlong-sama," Sara said with admiration. "Without you, the Mugen Chakra Mode and my life wouldn't exist." 

'You're exaggerating things.' Yu Long thought helplessly. 

After that, Yunlong and Sara returned to the Moon Castle and found that everyone had a meal. Well, they haven't touched a single dish and waited for them. 

As Yunlong sat on a random seat, he noticed that Otsutsuki Toneri and Ah Yin joined them in this meal. And the former has this complicated look when staring at him. 

"What's the matter, Toneri?" Yunlong smiled. He already guessed why this fellow looked so sour.

Otsutsuki Toneri awkwardly stood from his seat and bowed at a perfect ninety-degree angle, "Thank you for helping my mother, Great Ancestor!"

"I, Otsutsuki Toneri, will remember this favor for the rest of my life." 

"I will also do my best to repay it." 

Oy, we are still in the Shinobi World. 

What's with the Cultivation World's vow just now? 

Damn, this guy adapted too quickly. 

Otsutsuki Toneri's words gained reactions from Yunlong's companions, mostly amusement and mockery. 

Yu Long's wives gave the pale-looking man an amused look because he had no idea the favor was too heavy for him. 

The Asura Goddess nodded and didn't say anything.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Madara didn't bother to hide his sneer. 

"Kid, let alone you. No one in this world could repay Yunlong." Uchiha Madara said while crossing his arms. "As a matter of fact, your debt will pile non-stop until you're indebted to him for the rest of your life." 

"You make it sound like a curse, Madara." Yunlong chuckled at such a statement.

Uchiha Madara snorted, "I'm just giving this kid a reality check." 

Yet he didn't deny that Yunlong's favor was a curse.

Otsutsuki Toneri's face becomes solemn. He took Uchiha Madara's words seriously but still stayed true to his words, "As long I'm still alive, I will do anything to repay the Great Ancestor!" 

'What a dumbass.' Uchiha Madara sighed on the side. 

"Sara, you have such a filial son," Yunlong commented while gazing at Sara.

Sara smiled calmly, "Toneri used to be very mischievous, but he has matured a lot recently." 

"I just hoped he could marry a good girl and have a child." 

"Hmm, sit down, Toneri." Yunlong hummed casually. "We will see what you can do after lunch." 

"Yes, Great Ancestor!" Otsutsuki Toneri sat on his seat again. 

Everyone has a sumptuous lunch, but Gu Yuena couldn't help but frown every time she tasted these foods. She was 'actually' spoiled by Ichiraku Ramen and Yunlong's cooking, making other foods taste boring.

It's palatable, but Gu Yuena only ate it as a courtesy to the homeowners.

'I will make Yunlong cook for me later.' The Silver Dragon Goddess thought to herself. 

If Yunlong knew what Gu Yuena was thinking, he would probably laugh in helplessness. Guess from whom Taotie's endless appetite came. 

After lunch, Yunlong brought Sara and her children to an empty field behind the Moon Castle. 

He stood before them and said, "Toneri, you go explain how Spirit Master's cultivation works to Sara and Hayuri." 

"Yes, Great Ancestor!" Otsutsuki Toneri nodded. He briefly explained how Douluo Dalu's power system works to his mother and sister, which made their eyes light up in amazement. 

They actually could become strong by just training continuously. 

There is no need for worthless sacrifice and unnecessary killing.

Otsutsuki Toneri stared at Sara and said solemnly, "Mother, I heard you have gone through the Spirit Awakening Ceremony and awakened your Martial Soul. The next step is to find a suitable Spirit Beast and form a contract with it, which naturally provides you with a Spirit Ring." 

"It would be the first mark for your Spirit Master's cultivation." 

"But where can I find such a being? I don't think Spirit Beast exists in our world." Sara has a funny look on her face.

"Yes, Nii-sama." Otsutsuki Hayuri added.

"That's my role." Yunlong casually joined in. "Although I can't provide you with a genuine Spirit Beast's soul that you can contract with, I can give you an Artificial Soul that can grow alongside your cultivation." 

"The Artificial Soul would provide up to nine spirit rings and age them according to your progress." 

"Wait, since when did you invent such a thing?" Gu Yuena entered the conversation with a frown.

Yunlong shrugged, "After giving Bibi Dong, Dong Chan, and Qian Renxue new Martial Soul. I'm skilled enough to use the Essence of the Universe to shape anything into existence, including Artificial Soul." 

"The only problem is Artificial Soul is weaker at early stages and only shows their worth at latter stage, which is lackluster compared to Spirit Beast's soul has its own unique traits." 

"But that sounds more versatile." Gu Yuena voiced out.

"I mean... Since it grows alongside you, it always provides you with the best possible Spirit Ring and Skill." 

"Only one way to find out." Yunlong glanced at Sara and two others. 

"Toneri, you said you wanted to pay me back, right?" 

Otsutsuki Toneri felt a weird premonition from this but still answered, "Y-Yeah?" 

"Hehe, good. You will be the first tester of Artificial Soul." Yunlong laughed and gripped Otsutsuki Toneri's shoulder.

"But first, let's awaken your Martial Soul first." 

"ARGH!" Otsutsuki Toneri felt a surge of unknown energy entering his body and breaking everything inside. 

Sara and Otsutsuki Hayuri watched Otsutsuki Toneri worriedly, but they trusted Yunlong still. They believed he wouldn't put their family member in a harmful position. 

Three minutes passed, and a shadowy beast burst from Otsutsuki Toneri's body, standing with deterrence force.

Yunlong and his companions recognized this beast very well. 

It is a White Tiger!

More importantly, it is a variant of the White Tiger because some stripes have this faint cyan color. Its eyes are also luminous white-blue, which makes it more mystic.

[Name: Azure Blood White Tiger]

[Type: Martial Soul(Beast-type)]

[Grade: S+]

[Description: A Variant of the Mighty White Tiger, which possessed powerful talent in Spiritual Path and Beastly Path]

[Attribute: Spiritual(True), Beastly(True), King(False), Light(False)]

"Let's continue." Yunlong didn't find the Otsutsuki Toneri's Martial Soul much appealing. It's just a slightly stronger version of White Tiger. 

He's not saying Otsutsuki Toneri would be weak. 

On the contrary, Azure Blood White Tiger is a rare Martial Soul. It's just that Yunlong has seen so many better Martial Souls.

Yunlong placed his finger on the Otsutsuki Toneri's forehead and sent the Artificial Soul inside. The Artificial Soul is shapeless and would take on its host's characteristics slowly. 

Unfortunately, Yunlong has no time to watch it grow slowly. 

Yunlong created a soul contract between Otsutsuki Toneri and Artificial Soul before speeding the latter's growth with the Universe's Essence. 

Under everyone's eyes, they could see a white spirit ring appear before Otsutsuki Toneri, followed by a small white cat with cyan stripes. 

The white spirit ring steadily aged into yellow, and the small white cat became a young tiger. 

Eventually, the spirit ring reached 1,000 boundaries and became purple successfully. 

BOOOOM!

ROOOOOR!!

The young tiger became an adult tiger, which barred its fang and roared to the world. It has such a powerful aura despite being 1,000 years old.

At the same time, Otsutsuki Toneri opened his eyes and revealed a pair of mutated Tenseigan. Why mutate? Well, the eyes have a ferocious tiger-like pupil now. 

ROAR!

Otsutsuki Toneri let out a roar. His body bulges and white-cyan furs grow on his skin. 

He was about to release another roar when an unexpected thing happened.

PA! BAM! Crack!

"Okay, stop showing off." Yunlong suddenly smacked Otsutsuki Toners's head and made his face kiss the ground. And the ground cracked under the force.

"..." Everyone.
