A Huge Thank You and Welcome to our New Patron: Zenobu!
-------------------
Dai Chengfeng was filled with overwhelming joy. His White Tiger martial soul had finally broken through its shackles and evolved into a higher existence—the Heavenly White Tiger!
These wings were not just simple tools for flight but symbols of wind and sky power, representing that his martial soul now held dominion over the skies. This would bring earth-shattering changes to his speed, agility, and methods of attack.
The feedback from the martial soul evolution was immense.
Dai Chengfeng's soul power, which had been at a critical point, surged under the impetus of this evolutionary force like the straw that broke the camel's back.
Boom——!
It was as if some kind of shackle within him had been completely shattered. His soul power burst forth like a floodgate opening, surging to the threshold of Level 50!
"Amazing!!!"
Dai Chengfeng could even clearly feel that his soul power level had now stabilized firmly at Level 50.
But this was far from the end!
The potency of the Four Symbols Five Elements Lotus remained overwhelming, continuously transforming into pure soul power. However, due to the lack of a fifth soul ring, this soul power couldn't elevate his level and was forcibly suppressed and stored within his body.
He estimated that once he obtained a suitable fifth soul ring, this accumulated power would explode again.
Causing his soul power level to experience another astonishing surge!
After an unknown amount of time, the energy fluctuations within the quiet chamber gradually subsided.
Dai Chengfeng slowly opened his eyes, radiating sharp brilliance, almost tangible.
He gently clenched his fist, feeling the never-ending, far stronger soul power coursing through his body, and the vast ocean-like spiritual strength in his sea of consciousness, bringing an unprecedented sense of power throughout his entire being.
With a thought, the Heavenly White Tiger shadow behind him let out a low, joyful roar. Its silver wings lightly flapped, lifting his body slowly off the ground by three feet.
Though only moving within a small area of the quiet chamber, this newfound freedom to control the skies made him feel exhilarated.
"Success... The Four Symbols Five Elements Lotus is indeed extraordinary!"
Dai Chengfeng descended back to the ground, unable to hide the joy on his face.
His spirit evolved, his mental strength broke through to the Titled Douluo level, and his soul power reached level fifty—all far exceeding his initial expectations.
Dai Chengfeng slightly adjusted to his newfound power, feeling the somewhat "obstructed" yet incredibly vast soul power in his body due to the lack of soul rings, a confident smile forming on his lips.
"It's time to find an opportunity to accept the fifth soul ring..."
Thinking about the fifth soul ring, Dai Chengfeng instinctively thought of Qiu'er, "I wonder what kind of surprise she will bring me this time?"
And since the spirit evolution was complete, Dai Chengfeng no longer lingered in the room.
He was a bit hungry, "I wonder how much time this martial soul evolution took..."
As Dai Chengfeng thought, he pushed open the door of the room.
Sunlight poured down, illuminating his tall figure and those sharp eyes tinged with a trace of ethereal air.
Having just experienced a transformation akin to rebirth, Dai Chengfeng's senses were still in an extremely acute state. The warmth of the sunlight, the floating of tiny dust particles in the air, and the faint bird songs in the distance all seemed extraordinarily clear.
However, when Dai Chengfeng adjusted to the light and saw the scene outside the door, he couldn't help but be slightly startled.
At the entrance of his originally tranquil courtyard, there were now many people standing.
Leading them was a tall and graceful figure, clad in a luxurious long dress of pale purple, embroidered with intricate golden patterns. Her elegance exuded an aura of unapproachable dignity.
Her exquisite features bore a hint of scrutiny and concern—it was none other than Pope Bibi Dong.
On either side of her stood two men with peculiar appearances, the Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and the Ghost Douluo Gui Mei.
Yue Guan retained his coquettish and effeminate demeanor, holding a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum between his fingers, his eyes filled with curiosity and inquiry.
Gui Mei was enveloped in a layer of black mist, his presence eerie, silent, and reticent. But beneath that mist, his gaze also focused on Dai Chengfeng.
What caught Dai Chengfeng's attention even more were the several old men with thick auras standing behind Bibi Dong.
Dai Chengfeng didn't recognize these elders, but judging from the subtle fluctuations of soul power emanating from their bodies, they were at least Soul Douluo level experts, possibly even Titled Douluo.
They weren't wearing the usual uniforms of the Spirit Hall but dressed more like elders.
At this moment, they were all staring intently at him, their faces full of astonishment.
"This is..."
Dai Chengfeng felt a bit puzzled, but his mind raced, instantly understanding the reason.
The Four Symbols Five Elements Lotus was a heavenly treasure. The phenomena caused by its potency, especially the roar of the Heavenly White Tiger and the surging majestic aura during the evolution, probably couldn't be concealed from these top-tier experts in Spirit City.
His small courtyard must have been enveloped earlier by that powerful energy fluctuation and ancient beastly might, drawing them all here.
At this moment, the lips of the unfamiliar elders twitched, seemingly wanting to ask something.
However, before they could utter a sound, Bibi Dong's cool and authoritative voice rang out first, breaking the silence: "There is nothing amiss here; Elders, please return."
Her tone was calm but carried an unmistakable decisiveness.
It was as if she were stating a predetermined fact rather than negotiating.
"But, Your Holiness..."
"Hmm?" Bibi Dong slightly furrowed her brow.
Instantly, those elders opened their mouths but ultimately said nothing, looking frustrated.
They were obviously very curious about what had happened to Dai Chengfeng. That energy fluctuation and spirit pressure were too shocking, making them itch with curiosity.
But facing the clear dismissal from Pope Bibi Dong and the increasingly heavy pressure emanating from her, they exchanged glances, seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.
In the end, no one dared to defy the Pope's will, especially this Pope whose methods were becoming increasingly iron-fisted.
"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope."
Ultimately, the elders could only bow respectfully, leaving with full hearts of doubt and a touch of reluctance.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei also looked at Bibi Dong, their eyes questioning.
Bibi Dong gave a slight nod: "Yue Guan, Gui Mei, you may leave as well. Strengthen the vigilance, and without my command, no one is allowed to approach this place."
"As you command."
Yue Guan and Gui Mei responded respectfully, their figures flashing before disappearing from sight.
In the blink of an eye, only Bibi Dong and Dai Chengfeng remained at the previously crowded entrance of the small courtyard.
The sunlight bathed Bibi Dong, gilding her exquisite contours with a golden edge.
Today, she wasn't wearing the Nine-Curved Golden Crown; her cascading purple hair was loosely draped, adding a touch of laziness and charm.
Her deep purple eyes were tranquil as pools, quietly observing Dai Chengfeng, as if trying to see through him inside and out.
Her figure was stunningly outlined by the fitted long dress—her full chest, slender waist, and voluptuous hips combined to form a masterpiece crafted by heaven itself.
She possessed both the delicate grace of a young maiden and the mature allure of a woman, especially the nobility and cold beauty cultivated from long years of high status, mixed with a hint of indolent seductiveness, presenting a fatal attraction to any man.
