Chapter 111: Gold Level Awakening.
Xiao Fei looked at the three blood-red spirit rings and, once again, took out the Vast Sea Universe Cover. He activated his spirit ability to conceal the seven people and the three spirit beast corpses.
Xiao Fei sat on the ground and summoned his Qilin Arm spirit. Looking at his arm, now covered in golden threads, and then at the three red spirit rings,
Xiao Fei, with conviction, began to simultaneously draw the three spirit rings toward his arm. As the three spirit rings approached his arm, a powerful repulsive force erupted between them.
As everyone knows, spirit rings contain the soul and resentment of a spirit beast from its lifetime, and the resentment of a hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beast is even more potent. The three Qianjun Ant Emperor brothers clearly understood Xiao Fei's intentions, and the three spirit beasts, understanding each other, repelled each other, causing each spirit ring to become unstable.
This was similar to Xiao Yan's Buddha's Fury Lotus in Doupo: when three different spirits collide, the situation becomes extremely unstable, generating a tremendous repulsive force, and even exploding.
The three rings continuously collided in Xiao Fei's hand, tearing at his Qilin Arm spirit. Simultaneously, three soul forces surged into Xiao Fei's mind, assaulting his very being.
A look of intense pain washed over Xiao Fei's face, and blood streamed from all seven orifices. His arm, straining under immense force, seemed poised to explode.
At that moment, Xiao Fei recalled Yang Wudi's words: All of our spirits possess souls, even lives, yet we lack a true understanding of our own.
In the original novel, Tang San harnessed the unrivaled power of the Clear Sky Hammer to ultimately subdue the three spirit rings.
Xiao Fei pondered this, realizing he had never understood the existence of the Qilin Arm spirit, or even its function or purpose.
He recalled the horror he'd felt watching Douluo Continent, the impending war of gods, the countless casualties on the battlefield, and the suffering of the civilian population thousands of years later.
His own Qilin Arm spirit, it seemed, had, from its inception, sought to tear apart society, this distorted Douluo Continent, and even this distorted cultivation system. Ultimately, its goal was to overcome the injustices of this world, and all of this required a single hand, a driving force.
This is my Qilin Arm spirit, a simple hand, a hand meant to shatter all darkness.
As the souls of the three Thousand Ant Emperor brothers impacted, and as the three spirit rings tore at each other, Xiao Fei's expression gradually shifted from pain to calm, then to strength, dominance, and an indomitable spirit.
Simultaneously, Xiao Fei's mind gradually settled, and the Qilin Arm spirit transformed from its initial silver-white color with hints of gold to a dense, golden sheen, finally transforming the entire arm into a golden hue.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Fei slowly opened his eyes.
Everything around him seemed unchanged, yet everything seemed different.
"How long did it take me this time?"
Huo Wu quickly asked. "A month. It took you a full month to absorb these three spirit rings."
Xiao Fei smiled as he gazed at his right arm. After summoning his spirit, it had transformed completely into gold, radiating a breathtaking aura.
The Qilin Arm spirit had finally awakened for the third time, reaching the Gold level. Xiao Fei's right hand was now presumably a divine-level spirit, indestructible and comparable to a divine artifact.
This had been Xiao Fei's goal all along. To awaken the Qilin Arm to the Gold level, he needed sufficient pressure. Absorbing only the three 100,000-year spirit rings from the Thousand-Tier Ant Emperor was Xiao Fei's only way to achieve this awakening, which was why he was so obsessed with these three Thousand-Tier Ant Emperors.
With a thought, Xiao Fei's arm suddenly became adorned with six red spirit rings.
His spirit power had already reached peak level 98. The three 100,000-year spirit rings had boosted his power by two levels. He felt incredibly powerful, possessing virtually unlimited spirit power.
After calming himself, Xiao Fei approached the Thousand-Tier Ant Emperor's corpse and retrieved three torso spirit bones. After a moment's thought, Xiao Fei took out the Prison-Suppressing Elephant torso and the Mysterious Nether Turtle torso. He first handed the Mysterious Nether Turtle torso to Niu Meng, then the Prison-Suppressing Elephant torso to Huo Wu, and then the three 100,000-year-old Thousand-Tier Ant Emperor torso bones to Yang Pojun, Feng Xiaotian, and Huo Wushuang, respectively.
"Senior Bing'er, these three torso soul bones aren't quite right for you. I'll give them to you later when I have them."
"Sister Huowu, the five of you should absorb all the soul bones now and see if you can reach level 90 or 80. If you can, we'll also hunt for your soul rings this time."
The five of them nodded, sat on the ground, and began to absorb the soul bones.
Xiaofei, on the other hand, began to eat, and together with Shui Bing'er, they guarded the five of them.
A day later, all five of them had absorbed their 100,000-year-old torso spirit bones. Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu successfully reached level 90, while Feng Xiaotian reached level 87. Yang Pojun reached level 76, Niu Meng reached level 77, and Shui Bing'er, having not absorbed any spirit bones, remained at level 83.
Next, it was time to hunt for spirit rings for Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang. Having recently explored the entire core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, they were familiar with the spirit beasts, making their search easier.
Huo Wushuang chose a 94,000-year-old unicorn tyrannosaurus. Huo Wu chose a 96,000-year-old fire python. Xiao Fei also used the Beast Soul Pill method to raise both spirit beasts to 100,000 years old, and then they joined forces to hunt them.
After absorbing their spirit rings and spirit bones, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang both reached level 92.
With this, Xiao Fei and the other seven had achieved their goal of visiting the Star Dou Great Forest.
After some thought, Xiao Fei decided to visit the Lake of Life.
Two days later, Xiao Fei and the other seven arrived at the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The lake shimmered, its waters incredibly clear. Emitting a rich, lifelike aura, it resembled a paradise on earth, truly worthy of its name: the Lake of Life. Perhaps one of the treasures of Douluo Continent.
Xiao Fei shouted toward the Lake of Life, "Titan Giant Ape, Azure Bull Python, please come out and see me."
Suddenly, the earth shook, and a massive black shadow swooped in front of Xiao Fei and his companions. It was the Titan Giant Ape.
"Are you the ones who've been hunting high-level soul beasts lately?"
"I'm not here to see you for your soul rings and soul bones. I'd like to ask Azure Bull Python to come out and see me, too."
The lake erupted in a turmoil, and a massive, bull-headed python emerged from the surface. It was the Azure Bull Python.
The Azure Bull Python spoke in human language: "Human, what brings you here?"
"Don't be so hostile to me. After all, your sister Xiao Wu and I have been classmates at Notting Academy for five years, and I don't want anything to happen to you just yet."
"I'm here to tell you that within a year, a group of Titled Douluo will come to hunt you. If possible, you'd better hide."
"Human, why are you telling us this?"
"No reason, I just think you two are quite interesting. You two should hide deep within the Lake of Life, where it should be relatively safe."
"Don't underestimate your enemies. Their strength is far beyond your imagination."
After hearing Xiao Fei's words, the corners of Huo Wu's mouth twitched, while the two beasts were speechless. Such an excuse was actually Xiao Fei's idea. In fact, Xiao Fei had really liked these two hundred thousand year old soul beasts in his previous life. Titan Ju Ran was a bit of a fool, while the Weather Bull Python was relatively calm and kind.
After saying these words, Xiao Fei led the six people away from the Lake of Life.
Huo Wu was a little puzzled: "How did you know someone would come to hunt them? And why did you remind them?"
"Now the war is about to break out. Whether it is the Spirit Empire or the two major empires of Tiandou or Xingluo, they all want to improve their strength. The Emperor Bibi Dong of the Spirit Empire and Tang San of the Tiandou Empire both have twin spirits and are in need of spirit rings."
"But what does this have to do with us?"
Xiao Fei pinched Huo Wu's forehead: "Whether it is the Spirit Empire or the Tiandou Empire, I don't want them to become too powerful, otherwise we won't be able to remain neutral."
At the same time, the Titan Giant Ape also said in a deep voice: "Will a group of Titled Douluo really come to hunt us?"
The Sky Blue Bull Python shook his head: "I don't know, but I've been feeling a little uneasy lately. It seems that humans are spying on us. We'd better hide."
