Ghost Douluo Falls, the Asura God Trial
Ghost Douluo let out a shrill scream, his body trembling, twisting, and disintegrating violently in the emerald light.
When the black mist completely dissipated, Ghost Douluo's figure had vanished entirely.
Only a black right Soul Bone remained on the ground.
From then on, there was no longer a "Two Extremes Stillness Domain" in the world.
"Old Ghost!!"
When Chrysanthemum Douluo Ghost Douluo fall, he was filled with grief, and his delicate and handsome face twisted into a pained expression.
He let out a low growl like a wounded beast, but he knew that survival was the priority at that moment.
Chrysanthemum Douluo transformed into a streak of light and fled rapidly towards the Spirit Hall Empire, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Tang San and his companions did not give chase.
Chrysanthemum Douluo fled with all his might, but even if they caught up, they might not be able to stop him.
If they hadn't had a way to counter Ghost Douluo, they wouldn't have been able to kill him so easily.
Tang San stepped forward, bent down, and picked up the Soul Bone left behind by Ghost Douluo.
The Soul Bone felt cold to the touch, its surface shimmering with a dark, black light, carrying a chilling and heavy energy fluctuation.
Ghost Douluo is a level 95 Super Douluo, and his Soul Bone is of extremely high quality, with an age of over 60,000 years.
He stored the Soul Bone in his Storage Soul Tool, then turned around and looked at Shui Bing'er and the others. "Let's go, let's change direction."
The group nodded and continued walking slowly westward toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
Zhang San and his companions fled until they were sure no one was chasing them, then they stopped on a desolate hill.
Chrysanthemum Douluo arrived right behind him, a golden streak of light falling from the sky, staggering slightly upon landing.
His face was pale, and his usually meticulously combed long hair hung loosely beside his face.
Chrysanthemum Douluo remained silent, his eyes filled with an empty, bewildered look, as if his soul had been ripped away.
Ghost Douluo is dead. His brother, who had been his partner for most of his life and was closer than family, died in that golden pillar of light, leaving not even a trace of his remains.
From now on, the Spirit Hall will no longer have the "Two Extremes Stillness Domain," and its own position will likely be in jeopardy.
Zhang San and Hu Liena stood to the side, exchanged a glance, and neither of them spoke.
After a long silence, Chrysanthemum Douluo slowly raised his head. "Let's go, back to Spirit City."
The six figures rose again, dragging their heavy steps as they quickly fled towards Spirit City.
The Spirit City remains as majestic as ever.
Bibi Dong listened quietly to Zhang San and Hu Liena's report from below the steps.
After Zhang San finished speaking, a hint of disappointment flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, but she quickly suppressed her emotions and slowly said, "Alright, I know everything."
Her voice was calm, without a hint of blame.
The hall fell silent for a moment.
Bibi Dong turned to Zhang San and asked, "You guys think Tang San and the others' Soul Ring Configuration is unusual?"
Zhang San raised his head and nodded. "Yes. Tang San has four red Soul Rings out of his eight rings, and Shui Bing'er, Xiao Wu, and Ye Lingling also each have red Soul Rings. The girl named Xiao Wu's first four Soul Rings used to be yellow and purple, but now they've all turned black. I've never seen anything like this before."
Bibi Dong remained silent for a moment, her eyes gleaming as if she were deep in thought.
After a moment, she seemed to have figured something out, and then slowly stood up and said, "I already know what happened. Everyone else, you can leave. Xiao San and Nana, come with me."
Zhang San and Hu Liena exchanged a glance and followed.
The others then left.
Led by Bibi Dong, Zhang San and Hu Liena passed through the deep corridors of the Pope's Palace, walked down a series of descending stone steps, and arrived at a heavy stone door.
Bibi Dong stretched out her hand, placed her palm on a recessed area of the door, and poured her Soul Power into it. The stone door emitted a muffled rumble and slowly opened to both sides.
Behind the door was a small, secret room. In the center of the room was a low stone platform, on which lay a sword.
The sword was dark red all over, with deep blood-red patterns flowing along its blade, exuding a bloody aura accumulated from countless years of slaughter.
Even just lying there quietly, the oppressive feeling makes you involuntarily want to take a step back.
The Asura Demon Sword.
Both Zhang San and Hu Liena had seen this sword before; it was seized by Bibi Dong from the King of Slaughter was hunting them down.
Bibi Dong solemnly stated, "The only explanation for Tang San and the others' Soul Ring Configuration is the Divine God Test."
Zhang San's pupils suddenly contracted. "Divine God Test?"
Bibi Dong nodded and began to explain, "On the Douluo Continent where we live, there are also gods. There are two ways for humans to become gods. The first way is to cultivate and break through the Level 100 to obtain enough faith power, and then one can become a god. The Angel God worshipped by our Spirit Hall followed this path."
The second method is simpler: gain the approval of the gods, undergo Divine God Test trials, and pass them to receive their inheritance.
During the assessment, there are various rewards, including God-Given Soul Rings and Soul Ring level upgrades.
She paused, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes. "It's very likely that Tang San and the others have gained the approval of some deity and begun their Divine Examination."
Zhang San's breath hitched slightly, and his fists clenched slowly beneath his sleeves, his knuckles turning white.
I'm clearly the only genius in the world, so why don't I have this opportunity? And why is our teacher only telling us now?!
Of course, he would never reveal these thoughts to anyone.
Bibi Dong, completely oblivious to Zhang San's unusual behavior, pointed to the Asura Demon Sword: "This was seized from the King of Slaughter. I suspect that the acquisition of this sword is also related to the divine inheritance. I have studied it for a long time, but I still haven't uncovered its secrets, and it seems to be constantly rejecting me."
She turned around, her gaze falling on Zhang San and Hu Liena: "You two have both undergone the trials of the Slaughter City and obtained the Divine Slaughter's Domain. Perhaps you two could give it a try."
"I hope you will reflect on this sword here; perhaps you will gain something from it. Who among you can earn its approval depends on your own understanding."
Zhang San stepped forward, his gaze falling on the dark red sword.
Could this be the weapon of the gods?
He could feel that the sword was "watching" him.
The crimson patterns on the sword glowed faintly under his gaze, like a disturbed river that began to flow slowly.
Zhang San and the sword stared at each other, as if they were having a spiritual exchange.
For three days, Zhang San and Hu Liena stayed in that secret room without ever leaving it.
During this time, Hu Liena tried several times, but the sword never reacted to her.
But Zhang San never tried it; instead, he kept staring at the sword, lost in a deep state of contemplation.
At dawn on the fourth day, when Zhang San awoke from his reverie, he took a few steps forward to the Asura Demon Sword and grasped the hilt with his right hand without hesitation.
The moment he touched the screen, the Asura Demon Sword suddenly lit up, and a dark red light surged from within the sword, flowing into Zhang San's body.
A deep and majestic voice echoed in Zhang San's mind, "Zhang San, you have passed the Asura Sword's approval. Now, the Asura God Trial will be bestowed upon you."
Zhang San's body jolted violently, then a smile crept onto his lips as he raised the Asura Demon Sword in one hand.
Upon seeing this, Bibi Dong smiled slightly.
She turned and left the secret room with Hu Liena, leaving Zhang San inside to continue the assessment.
After returning to the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong began working on another matter.
She's going to the Star Dou Great Forest to complete all the Soul Rings of her Second Martial Soul.
With the increasing number of divine legacies in the Douluo Continent, I must also accelerate my own Divine Examination trials.
