Chapter 207: Absorbing the Evil God Pearl, the Special Fifth Soul Ring (Two-in-One)
"Since you ate the Medicinal Pill, has your Martial Soul undergone any changes?" Yu Yuanzhen asked with a frown.
Yu Xiaogang struggled to get up and summoned Luo Sanpao.
But the moment Luo Sanpao appeared, it instantly shocked the three of them.
Yu Yuanzhen even felt a trace of Bloodline suppression from Luo Sanpao: "Is this… this is Luo Sanpao?"
Tang Xiao looked at the Golden Holy Dragon floating in the air before him, also somewhat surprised. Was this still Yu Xiaogang's original Dragon Pig?
Calling it a Dragon Pig was an insult to the Dragon before them!
Yu Xiaogang sensed Luo Sanpao and realized that his Martial Soul was not called Luo Sanpao, but had a beautiful name.
"Golden Holy Dragon!"
Yu Yuanzhen: "What did you say?"
Yu Xiaogang said again: "My Martial Soul is actually called Golden Holy Dragon, not Luo Sanpao."
Actually, the name Luo Sanpao was given by him, simply because Luo Sanpao could only fart three times at once.
Thinking about it now, he also found it a bit ridiculous.
But now was clearly not the time for him to think about these things. Yu Xiaogang asked, "Father, what exactly happened last night? So, what happened last night—was it a dream? Then wouldn't I…"
Upon thinking of this, he felt a chill down his spine.
A person should at least not—should not…
Yu Yuanzhen shook his head: "This should be a mental illusion cast upon us by a very powerful Super Douluo, but why would such a strong person do this to us?"
Calling him a Super Douluo, but in Yu Yuanzhen's heart, this Titled Douluo must have at least a cultivation of the ninety-seventh rank. Otherwise, how could he and Tang Xiao both fall into a dream at the same time without realizing it at all?
That dream was no different from reality!
Tang Xiao said, "Could it be Spirit Hall's doing? Currently, Spirit Hall has the most Titled Douluo on this continent."
Yu Yuanzhen had also suspected Spirit Hall, but found it somewhat unlikely.
"Within Spirit Hall, there shouldn't be such a strong mental power Super Douluo. You should also know that the strongest in Spirit Hall, besides Bibi Dong, are the nine Super Douluo in the Worship Hall."
"But none of these nine Super Douluo possess the ability to create illusions."
Tang Xiao: "Could it be the enchanting power unleashed by Xie Tian and Hu Leyao? Both of them are Soul Douluo now, and their enchanting power after Martial Soul Fusion is comparable to a ninety-fifth rank Titled Douluo."
"That's not right either. If it were just that, it wouldn't be possible for us and the people outside to all fall into an illusion. They shouldn't be able to do that…"
Yu Yuanzhen also nodded and said, "Exactly. Moreover, Spirit Hall gave us Medicinal Pills just a moment ago and then treated us like this. What is their purpose?"
This was the most crucial point. Yu Yuanzhen couldn't figure out Spirit Hall's reason for doing this, no matter how he thought about it.
This was just a prank!
Tang Xiao looked at Yu Yuanzhen and said, "So what now? My Body Tempering Pill was also eaten by your son. No matter who did it, don't you owe me an explanation?"
Yu Yuanzhen: …
Yu Yuanzhen smiled bitterly and said, "My Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan truly has no more family assets. How about this: if anything happens to your Clear Sky Sect in the future, I will protect it with my life."
"And that Tang San, isn't he a Named Disciple under my son? When we go back this time, I'll have Xiaogang take him as his closed-door disciple and ensure he receives the best resources."
"Later, if the family obtains a ten-thousand-year Soul Bone, we'll give you one immediately. How about that?"
Tang Xiao saw Yu Yuanzhen's sincerity and nodded.
It was indeed unrealistic for Yu Yuanzhen to compensate him with something now. He knew how much Yu Yuanzhen had given to Spirit Hall this time.
And all those resources were eaten by Yu Xiaogang. If anyone felt heartache, he was definitely the one who felt it the most.
So many Medicinal Pills could have been used by two Soul Douluo and a talented direct Disciple in the family, but Yu Xiaogang got all of them.
When they returned this time, Yu Yuanzhen, as the Clan Chief, would probably have a hard time explaining.
Moreover, he still had good judgment. Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul indeed looked extraordinary. Perhaps Yu Xiaogang's future achievements would not be inferior to Yu Yuanzhen's?
Previously, if someone told him that Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul was good, but Yu Xiaogang himself was quite useless, he would definitely laugh.
But now it seemed that it might really be Yu Xiaogang himself being too useless, which turned such a good Golden Holy Dragon into a pig.
He had also heard about Yu Xiaogang's first two Soul Skills. If those two soul rings were suitable, perhaps the clues would have been seen long ago, but now...
Because of Spirit Hall's Foundation Establishment Pill, this Golden Holy Dragon finally managed to somewhat compensate for its previous flaws.
Not far away.
Hu Bai saw that it was already morning and released the Divine Artifact's spiritual control. They were all under Hu Bai's spiritual detection sharing, waiting for Yu Yuanzhen and the others to come out of the tent.
Hu Bai's spiritual detection did not penetrate the tent. They were not interested in seeing Yu Xiaogang and the others in a state of undress.
And the slight anomaly caused by Luo Sanpao's evolution into a Golden Holy Dragon, they had already seen it.
After all, in the middle of the night, a golden light emanated from inside the tent, and Luo Sanpao's body size also increased, with parts of its body exposed outside the tent, which they could see clearly.
"I really didn't expect that Luo Sanpao is indeed a true Dragon, just as Xiao Bai said. The purity of this Bloodline is even above that of a Golden Holy Dragon."
Inside the Spiritual Sea, the Ice Empress clicked her tongue in wonder.
Tianmeng Iceworm said, "Yes, even I didn't realize that Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul still had such potential. However, it's quite strange that the lightning-attribute Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul would mutate into a Golden Holy Dragon with a light attribute."
Snow Empress: "Martial Souls are inherently bizarre and diverse. Such a change is not surprising."
"But now, our objective for coming out this time has been achieved. Shouldn't we leave?" Snow Empress asked.
Hu Bai nodded: "It's about time indeed. As for what happens next, there's no need to watch anymore."
Bibi Dong and the others reached a consensus that there was nothing more to see, so they directly set off back to Spirit Hall.
Under Hu Bai's spatial ability, they returned to Spirit City within a day.
After resting for a night, the next day, Hu Bai and the others gathered in the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Xie Yue was about to absorb the evil god orb!
Inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Xie Yue sat cross-legged in the center of the hall, the evil god orb suspended before him.
The black patterns on the bead's surface continuously flowed, emitting a rich evil energy.
He took a deep breath, mobilized the soul power within his body, forming a thin line connected to the evil god orb.
"Begin." Xie Yue whispered, applying force with his fingertips, guiding the energy within the evil god orb to slowly flow into his body.
Besides Xie Yue, Hu Bai, Hu Liena, Bibi Dong, Xie Tian, Hu Leyao, and others stood in order, even Qian Daoliu had come.
As soon as the energy entered his Meridians, Xie Yue's expression suddenly changed, and cold sweat seeped from his forehead.
"What domineering energy." He gritted his teeth, and the soul power within his body violently fluctuated from the impact of this evil energy.
After a period of time, Xie Yue's soul power was continuously being consumed, and his face gradually turned pale.
Hu Bai stood by, sensing the chaotic energy within Xie Yue's body, and immediately stepped forward: "Not good, Big Brother's situation is very dangerous!"
His evil god wings unfolded behind him, his seventh soul ring lit up, and the aura of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was released, resonating with the energy of the evil god orb.
"Xiao Bai, what are you doing?!" Everyone exclaimed.
Because each Soul Master's soul power attribute is different, they generally cannot achieve mutual flow of soul power. This is why the support system and food system Soul Masters are so important.
Their auxiliary abilities can help Soul Masters quickly recover soul power and adapt to various attributes of soul power.
"Big Brother's current situation is very dangerous. Both his soul power and mental power are rapidly being consumed. I possess the evil god wings, and my seventh soul ring is from the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, which shares the same origin as the evil god orb's energy. I can transmit this soul power to Big Brother through soul power conversion, helping him devour the energy within the evil god orb!"
Suddenly, a very strong evil aura erupted from Xie Yue's body. This black-purple mist directly enveloped the two of them.
Bibi Dong and the others watched with great anxiety.
"Rakshasa God, is there anything we can do to help?" Bibi Dong asked.
Rakshasa God was also startled awake by this fluctuation and emerged from the Divine Artifact.
"No, your soul power attributes are different from Xie Yue's. Forcibly transmitting it would likely cause adverse effects."
"The soul power attribute produced by this little fellow's Nine-tailed Sky Fox Martial Soul is quite special; it's unattributed and relatively gentle. Plus, he can freely control various elemental forces."
"Theoretically, he can convert these soul powers into various elemental attributes, which would allow for better transmission of soul power to Xie Yue."
"As for mental power, needless to say, his mental power is already strong. Through Tianmeng Iceworm's Soul Skill, he can transmit mental power more directly."
Subsequently, a surge of soul power, originating from the same source as the evil god orb, poured from Hu Bai's palm and flowed into Xie Yue's body through his back.
"Big Brother, I'm here to transmit soul power and mental power to you. You must devour the energy within this evil god orb; otherwise, you might eventually be assimilated by it!"
"Ah ah ah—"
Xie Yue roared: "Leave it to me!"
Following Hu Bai's guidance, he gathered the two streams of energy in his Dantian.
The evil god orb's energy was like boiling black water, constantly impacting the Meridians within his body, while the soul power supplied by Hu Bai acted like a membrane, protecting his Meridians and isolating the violent energy.
And with Hu Bai's help, Xie Yue could now finally focus all his soul power and mental power on resisting the evil god orb without worrying about Meridian damage!
"Ugh…"
Xie Yue groaned, black patterns appearing on his body surface. These patterns moved like living things, attempting to erode his body.
"Don't let the energy get out of control!"
Hu Bai increased his soul power output.
Xie Yue mobilized his Martial Soul, and the phantom of the Sky-Shattering Moon Blade appeared behind him, the blade humming.
As the Moon Blade rotated, the energy flow within his body began to circulate according to a specific trajectory.
Gradually, a layer of black light began to emerge on the originally silver-white Moon Blade, intertwining with the silver light.
Gradually, this black light was suppressed and fused by the silver radiance, like an imprint etched onto the Moon Blade's surface, looking quite sinister.
Half an hour later, the evil god orb's volume had noticeably shrunk, and its surface luster had dimmed.
Xie Yue's aura, however, was steadily rising, and the outline of a fifth soul ring gradually formed beneath his feet.
However, the color of this fifth soul ring was somewhat beyond Bibi Dong and the others' expectations.
It wasn't a normal black soul ring but the original color of the evil god orb—a purplish-black!
Within this purplish-black, one could vaguely see other attribute lights flowing: the green of wind, the purple of lightning, the silver of space, and so on.
"It's almost done." Hu Bai let the sweat drip from his forehead, injecting all his remaining soul power!
Xie Yue's eyes were tightly shut, his entire body's muscles taut. The originally silver Sky-Shattering Moon Blade had also changed due to absorbing the evil god orb's energy.
There were faint purplish-black patterns on the surface of the Moon Blade, and finally, the two Moon Blades merged into one, clearly reflecting the image of a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!
"Success?"
Xie Yue felt the surging power within him, somewhat disbelieving. He stretched out his hand, and dark and wind-attributed energy gathered in his palm, forming a miniature Evil Wind Blade.
Hu Bai breathed a sigh of relief and put away his evil god wings: "Try to see if there are any other abilities?"
Xie Yue nodded, his special purplish-black soul ring flickering on his body.
A gray defensive barrier appeared in front of him—Evil God Protection. The black-purple lightning current on the Moon Blade, crackling, was the Dark Demonic Evil God Lightning!
As for spatial ability, he already possessed it.
"My fifth soul ring actually granted me all the innate skills of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and even allowed me to control a bit of weak time power. But with my current strength, I can't even use it after exhausting all my soul power."
"Xiao Bai, why do I feel like you're at a bit of a loss? This evil god orb can actually condense such a uniquely colored soul ring—a special soul ring… I've never seen one!"
Tianmeng Iceworm giggled: "Do you regret it?"
Hu Bai said, "What is there to regret? I already possess all these skills that my Big Brother has. Besides, I actually hope this soul ring can grant Big Brother the ability to use the Life and Death Arena."
"But… even for me to use this move, I have to consume a Divine Artifact. If my Big Brother can use it, it's estimated that after using it, his Martial Soul will be sealed for at least a year!"
For a Heaven-defying skill like the Life and Death Arena, there should be limitations.
After all, what they obtained was just the soul ring and evil god orb of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, not the Tiger itself, so they certainly couldn't use its abilities freely.
"Xie Yue, your fifth soul ring looks very special. It seems our Spirit Hall's records will have another entry, hehe." Qian Daoliu chuckled.
In this world, there actually existed such a special soul ring. Shouldn't it be recorded?
