What Yin Xiaoya took out were the Kamen Rider items that were still sealed. The Bone Scythe Mantis could unlock the power of a Kamen Rider, even two.
One option was the Kamakiri Medal of Kamen Rider OOO. The other, the category ace card of Kamen Rider Chalice. He didn't care which the Bone Scythe Mantis chose. Each had its advantages.
If it chose the Kamakiri Medal, Yin Xiaoya couldn't use its power anytime soon. OOO needed three medals to transform, upper, middle, and lower. But OOO was a main rider, and the only way to unlock a main rider's power was through a soul beast. The Bone Scythe Mantis was a ten-thousand-year soul beast, meaning this one medal would raise OOO's starting point.
If the Bone Scythe Mantis chose the Chalice card, Yin Xiaoya got a new Kamen Rider form. Because it was unlocked through a soul beast, Chalice would let Yin Xiaoya communicate with the world's soul power after transformation. Since the system was modified for Douluo World, soul power was a must. The sooner, the better.
So, no matter the choice, the Bone Scythe Mantis brought Yin Xiaoya great benefits. It was only a matter of waiting.
Yin Xiaoya's actions confused Su Xuan and the Bone Scythe Mantis. Neither knew what he was doing. But they understood the meaning. Let it pick one of these two things, so both parties are happy.
For the Bone Scythe Mantis, who had accepted its fate, this was a bright future. It had no choice now. So it looked left and right at the two items, and decided the coin looked stronger. It touched its head to the coin. The miracle Yin Xiaoya talked about happened.
The Bone Scythe Mantis was wrapped in green energy. Its body twisted and shrank, merging into the medal. The medal changed, losing its off-white color, becoming translucent green with gold edges. A praying mantis pattern was on the obverse, a bone scythe mantis upon closer inspection.
[Ding! Mantis Core Medal, successfully unlocked! Congratulations to the host, you have obtained your first exclusive transformation item.]
"Exclusive item? What does that mean?"
[The system lets soul beasts unlock the power of the Kamen Rider, not just as a key, but integrating their power. The Bone Scythe Mantis Core Medal retains the Mantis Medal's ability and increases the Bone Scythe Mantis's power.]
Yin Xiaoya understood. It was different from the original, a new item. If all future items were unlocked by soul beasts, then in Douluo Dalu, he wouldn't look too out of place.
The system took the unchosen Ace card into space, waiting for the corresponding soul beast. Yin Xiaoya held the new Mantis Medal. Su Xuan felt the powerful life and soul power from the coin. She hadn't hallucinated; the Bone Scythe Mantis entered the coin and lived. Her wisdom couldn't keep up with this.
"Yin Xiaoya, who are you?"
Yin Xiaoya turned his head. "Are you sure you want to ask?"
Su Xuan nodded. She knew he wasn't bad, so it was okay to ask.
"Okay." Yin Xiaoya turned off the Meteor Switch on his belt, ending his transformation. He faced Su Xuan. "I'm just a passing-through Kamen Rider."
"Kamen Rider? Is that your martial soul's name? An armored martial soul?"
Yin Xiaoya scratched his hair. Fantasy worlds had problems. Basic science needed explaining. Explaining Kamen Rider would be hard.
"Emmm... If you want to think that way, sure."
"Okay." Su Xuan looked at the coin. "The Bone Scythe Mantis is in the medal?"
"Turned into the medal, strictly speaking."
The medal trembled, wanting to say something. The system helped Yin Xiaoya understand.
"Don't worry, I won't go back on my word. You're a core medal. You know what's happening. Show yourself."
Yin Xiaoya tossed the medal. Gray Cell Medals poured out, condensing into a human shape. Green light flashed, turning the coins into a humanoid mantis woman.
Su Xuan and the students were scared. The form resembled Beast Spirit Masters activating their power. But this wasn't human; it was closer to a soul beast.
"Yin Xiaoya, what's going on?"
"This is a Greeed. The Bone Scythe Mantis gained a new existence as a medal. Miss Su, don't worry, it won't move dangerously without my order."
The core medal with consciousness was the Greeed's root. The Bone Scythe Mantis became the Mantis Core Medal, a Greeed. The system reformed, so the Cell Medals came from it. As long as the core medal desired, it made Cell Medals.
Yin Xiaoya promised it life and guarding its eggs. If it chose the Chalice card, it would be Undead. Either way, it existed.
Su Xuan gave up understanding. Her worldview might collapse. Luo Pupu pulled her aside with a mysterious face.
Yin Xiaoya didn't ask, looking at the Greeed. "You're not a soul beast, so Bone Scythe Mantis is wrong. You're Mantis. Guard your offspring. When they're born and you're ready, I'll sense it and pick you up. But if humans break in, don't attack them like today. Understand?"
Mantis nodded, able to speak. "Thank you. I obey."
It turned into coins and rushed into the hole, filling it.
"I heard. You saved Pupu."
Yin Xiaoya put his belt away, turning to Su Xuan. "I met her and had to save her. I'm glad you're okay. I must repay you."
"You saved us. Thank you for my students. As you said, our fate changed." She was curious. "What you said in the carriage was a lie?"
Yin Xiaoya shrugged. "I had trouble. Forgive me. I am homeless. For saving everyone, keep this secret?"
He pointed to the hole, hoping they wouldn't tell about the mantis.
"Okay, I promise. You want us to." Su Xuan agreed. "What next?"
Yin Xiaoya wanted to unlock Kamen Rider's power in the Soul Beast Forest. Being alone was boring. He knew them, and walking with them reduced depression. He proposed traveling together, getting their approval. Su Xuan was interested in his secret.
"Please give me advice."
The students' injuries healed, and they started again, joining Jing Tieyang's team.
Su Xuan was a teacher but younger than Yin Xiaoya, acting like a girl. She asked about Kamen Rider. He answered casually, but soon he didn't know how to explain. He changed the topic.
"Where's your academy? Special features?"
They were embarrassed. Su Xuan said strangely, "Our school is remote. It likes to recruit waste."
"Recruit waste?" Yin Xiaoya looked at them. They weren't trash.
"We like trash because our academy has a master of martial soul theory. He likes challenges."
Yin Xiaoya stopped. "Master of Martial Soul Theory? Can I ask the name of that master?"
"Yu Xiaogang. Do you know him?"
Yin Xiaoya's mouth twitched. "May I ask what the name of your college is?"
They were even more embarrassed. Su Xuan twitched. "Don't laugh. Our academy is Shrek Academy."
Yin Xiaoya's eyes widened. What the fuck?
