A woman dressed in black veil, a Gothic style, approached Lin Jie, her eyes filled with surprise, shock, and a mixture of disbelief. He could never have imagined that someone who had only been here for less than half a year could become its master.
"You manage this place for me. I won't treat you unfairly. Got that?"
Lin Jie said, looking at the woman in black veil.
"Yes."
"Take me to where the Slaughter King once stayed," Lin Jie said, looking at the woman in black veil.
Soon, Lin Jie arrived at the palace where the Slaughter King once resided. Compared to other places, this place was truly remarkable. It naturally became Lin Jie's palace.
For the rest of the day, Lin Jie continued his Slaughter Field competition. Hu Liena was also competing.
Besides regularly taking turns with Hu Liena to complete the Slaughter Field challenge, Lin Jie also took Hu Liena to the altar beneath the Hell Road for training. The soul power there was so immense that even with Lin Jie and Hu Liena absorbing it together, it still hadn't been fully absorbed.
Lin Jie didn't change the rules here, letting it run as usual, because he'd discovered this place was truly a good place. Now that he controlled it, with a constant supply of soul power to cultivate, his strength was rapidly increasing.
A month had passed, and Lin Jie and Hu Liena had already completed over sixty bouts.
Lin Jie was constantly improving, and Hu Liena's strength was also steadily increasing.
Because Lin Jie's matches were staggered with Hu Liena's, and now that Hu Liena had a match, Lin Jie wasn't worried about failing, so he returned to the palace.
After over a month of experimentation, Lin Jie finally succeeded in integrating his sixth soul skill with his mind network. As long as Lin Jie's strength was strong enough, taking a head from a thousand miles away would be easy. Furthermore, this ability could read the inner thoughts of those with less power or mental strength than him. This ability was becoming increasingly similar to Enel's.
At that moment, a woman dressed in black gothic veil slowly entered Lin Jie's chambers.
"You're here,"
Lin Jie said calmly upon seeing the woman.
Lin Jie already knew the identity of the woman in black veil. She was the
former Slaughter King's maiden. However, the Slaughter King, possessed by the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King, showed little interest in human love. Furthermore, the Slaughter King's temper was rather unappealing. The woman in black veil had been with him for years, and upon learning of the former Slaughter King's demise, she immediately turned to Lin Jie, revealing that their relationship wasn't particularly deep. Furthermore, this
woman wasn't just stunningly beautiful, she was also incredibly powerful. She now possessed the strength of an 84th-level Soul Douluo, capable of wielding six soul skills. Aside from Lin Jie, she was the most powerful figure in Slaughter City.
"Yes," the woman in black veil said, walking over to sit beside Lin Jie. This was a special permission granted by Lin Jie, as she was now his maiden.
"From now on, remove your veil in my presence, understand?"
Lin Jie reached out and gently caressed her alluring, dark-smoke-faced face.
"Yes, I understand," the woman in black veil nodded. Then he slowly removed the black veil that half covered her face, revealing a delicate, alluring face before Lin Jie.
Lin Jie's makeup was tinged with black, and a smile graced her face.
He reached out and gently caressed her face, then slid his hand beneath her clothes.
The woman in the black veil didn't shy away, for this wasn't their first time. And as Lin Jie's maid, she had no right to refuse him.
"Sit on me." "Yes." A faint
blush crept across the woman's face. Lin Jie's tricks were truly overwhelming. Her tender voice filled the room. Afterward, the woman in the black veil, dressed in her proper attire, leaned against Lin Jie. She was sensible and understanding. She knew what to ask and what not to ask. Just like now, she didn't proactively ask Lin Jie anything. She simply listened to whatever Lin Jie wanted to tell her. "Have you ever thought about breaking through to a Titled Douluo? Or leaving here?" Lin Jie asked the woman beside him. "Titled Douluo! Leaving here!" The woman was stunned. She had never considered such unrealistic things before. Now that Lin Jie had mentioned this to her, she didn't know how to respond. As the King of Slaughter and in charge of Slaughter City, Lin Jie naturally had the right to let anyone out. "No, I'm used to life here. I can't adapt to going out," the woman in black veil shook her head. She had lived here for a long time and wasn't used to the outside world. She was used to black and blood, and suddenly facing white would be a mental discomfort. "Okay, if you don't want to leave, I won't force you. But after I finish what I need to do, you can help me manage Slaughter City." Lin Jie hadn't taken her in for her beauty. His main purpose was to have her help manage Slaughter City. However, as an outsider, she couldn't do it, so Lin Jie had to make her his insider. Only then would Lin Jie feel at ease. And even if she did something to offend him in the future, Lin Jie wouldn't care too much. Originally, with the current relationship between Lin Jie and Hu Liena, Lin Jie could have eaten her, but in order to prevent Bibi Dong from knowing, he could only eat her later. "You are leaving!" The woman was a little surprised, and also a little reluctant. To say that she had deep feelings for Lin Jie would be a bit hypocritical. However, there was still some affection, after all, Lin Jie had developed her. "Yes, maybe it will be easier to leave in half a year. By then, I will make you the highest authority in the Slaughter City. And I hope your strength can be improved so that you can help me."
"When you're free, come and train with me in Hell Road." While the black-veiled girl knew a bit about the Hell Road, she knew nothing about soul power. This suggested the former King of Slaughter still held some distrust in her.
"I understand," the black-veiled woman nodded. While she wasn't particularly ambitious about strength, she didn't rule out improving it.
Not long after, Hu Liena returned to Lin Jie's quarters after completing her Slaughter Match. She saw a strange expression on the black-veiled woman's face, who was happily chatting with Lin Jie.
This wasn't the first time she'd seen this. And why was there a strange smell in the air?
Hu Liena hadn't experienced those things, so naturally, she didn't know what it was. If Zhu Zhuqing were here, she'd know what had happened between Lin Jie and the black-veiled woman.
Another three months passed, and now, on the Slaughter Grounds...
Swords
flashed, their cold light radiating.
Lin Jie controlled his flying swords, rapidly harvesting the lives of those on the field.
"Too strong, worthy of him."
"Indeed, too strong."
"Today is his 100th match. As long as he finishes, we won't have to worry about facing him again."
"Indeed, now I can rest assured."
For some spectators, matches like this are a place to unleash their passion.
After Lin Jie defeated the last person, the arena erupted in cheers.
"Achieved 100 consecutive wins in the Killing Fields! The first of the Nine Shura God Trials is complete. Reward: 100% Soul Power Purification."
As Lin Jie defeated the last person, a familiar voice rang out. In addition to notifying him of his completion of the first trial of the Nine Shura God Trials, it also offered Lin Jie a reward.
Lin Jie had always assumed the reward for completing the first trial would be a Soul Power increase, but he hadn't expected it to be a 100% Soul Power Purification.
Lin Jie remembered that the reward for the first Sea God Trial was also a Soul Power increase. Now
, he understood what this 100% Soul Power Purification meant. In the next second, Lin Jie understood what it meant.
From the void, a light, visible only to Lin Jie, surged into his body, his Soul Power continuously purified.
For the past few months, absorbing the endless flow of soul power beneath the Hell Road had rapidly increased Lin Jie's strength. His original soul power level of 65 had risen to 68.
Now, after being fully purified by this soul power, his soul power had returned to 66. Although it had declined, his strength had more than doubled, and his foundation had become more solid.
Lin Jie now understood both the advantages and disadvantages of this rapid soul power increase. While rapid soul power growth is beneficial, it inevitably leads to a slight weakening of the foundation. Even Lin Jie experienced this.
Now he understood the benefits of this 100% soul power purification. It had made his foundation incredibly solid, and there would never be a single shaky foundation.
After receiving the reward, Lin Jie had a few questions.
"How could such power be achieved? It seemed to suddenly emerge from the void, and only I could see it. Doesn't that mean the Shura God is constantly watching me?"
Lin Jie couldn't figure this out, so he stopped thinking about it.
"The second test of the Nine Shura God Trials: Passing the Hell Road."
Lin Jie wasn't too surprised to hear the news of the second test. The first was the Killing Grounds, and the second, naturally, was the Hell Road.
As the King of Killing, he had the final say on the opening of the Hell Road. However, he wasn't in a hurry; it wouldn't be too late to enter with Hu Liena in a few days, after she completed her 100th test.
Back in the bedroom, the woman in black veil once again entered
Lin Jie's room, right next to hers. Unfazed by Hu Liena's presence, she eagerly embraced Lin Jie upon reaching his room.
She knew Lin Jie would be leaving in two days, perhaps not returning for a long, long time, so she wanted to leave him with an unforgettable memory.
Today, she was wearing a sheer black stocking, revealing a hint of her snow-white thighs that contrasted sharply against the black.
"Don't move. Let me serve you," the woman said softly, hugging Lin Jie.
Lin Jie was a little surprised; he hadn't expected her to be so gentle and proactive. However, he didn't refuse her advances.
"Okay."
