Chrysanthemum and Ghost's Progress

Chrysanthemum and Ghost's Progress

Because Chrysanthemum Douluo's martial soul, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, was the same as the immortal herb Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, the immortal herb's enhancement to his body far surpassed that of the other two. His Ninth Spirit Ring exceeded a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, reaching the level of a 200,000-year Ferocious Beast Level Spirit Ring. Two golden patterns appeared on the ring.

In the end, Yue Guan's Spirit Ring stopped at 230,000 years, and the Soul Power generated by the ring directly pushed his Soul Power Level to Rank 93.

After absorbing their Spirit Rings, the three said respectfully, "Thank you for your gift, Young Mistress."

Qian Renxue nodded slightly. "What Soul Skills did each of you gain? Xiong Ju, you go first."

"Yes, Young Mistress." Xiong Ju was the first to demonstrate his Soul Skills.

Demon Bear Douluo's first Soul Skill was World-Ending Frenzied Strike, an assault-type Soul Skill. Using bear claws as its means of attack, it struck enemies at tremendous speed, stunning enemies within range and draining their blood. His second Soul Skill was Demon Bear Roar, a support-type Soul Skill. Once released, it granted himself and nearby allies a berserk enhancement. Under this enhancement, attack power increased by fifty percent, and they no longer feared pain.

"Quite a good combination of Soul Skills. If the two are used together, they can weaken the enemy while strengthening oneself." Qian Daoliu offered his assessment.

"And you? Gui Mei, show us your Soul Skills." Qian Renxue looked at Gui Mei.

"Yes, Young Mistress." Light flashed from Gui Mei's ninth ring, and his body melted away like ink.

"Strange. Where did Gui Mei go?" Xiong Ju looked around.

Guang Ling Douluo pointed behind Xiong Ju and reminded him, "Behind you."

Xiong Ju hurriedly turned around and saw a figure emerge from his shadow. Gui Mei said, "This is the first Soul Skill granted to me by my Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, Shadow Stealth Assault. Wherever there are shadows, I can travel back and forth between them, allowing for unexpected and rapid movement."

Then came Gui Mei's second Soul Skill, Infinite Ghost Shadow Bombardment. It was a fairly conventional offensive Soul Skill, but combined with Shadow Stealth Assault, it could achieve excellent results.

"Your turn, Yue Guan."

With a smile on his face, Yue Guan said, "One of my two great Soul Skills is Heaven-Piercing Chrysanthemum Shines Upon the Firmament."

As he spoke, he demonstrated its effects. The Heaven-Piercing Chrysanthemum martial soul instantly bloomed with boundless radiance. Its petals expanded and spun outward at astonishing speed, forming the phantom image of a massive chrysanthemum that hovered in the dome above the elders. Then, countless brilliant starlike points of light gathered within the phantom petals, swiftly condensing into thick pillars of light. Like divine punishment descending from the heavens, they precisely crashed down upon the target area. Every pillar contained devastating energy, enough to effortlessly destroy any sturdy defense. Qian Daoliu released a barrier and blocked the light.

"This Soul Skill can be dispersed for widespread destruction, or concentrated at a single point for a decisive killing blow." Yue Guan introduced the Soul Skill, clearly very satisfied with its power.

Like the Ninth Soul Skill in the original timeline, it was an assault-type Soul Skill, but its power could utterly crush Yue Guan's former move, Chrysanthemum Remnants Cover the Ground, Flowers Fall and Hearts Break.

Qian Daoliu dispelled the Soul Power barrier and said, "Not bad. If concentrated, you can unleash a killing blow comparable to a Rank 95 Title Douluo despite only being Rank 93. As expected of a Soul Skill granted by a 200,000-year Ferocious Beast Spirit Ring. What about the second Soul Skill?"

Centered on Yue Guan's body, an orange-yellow domain spread outward.

"It's actually a domain." Gui Mei was instantly filled with envy.

"This kid truly is favored by heaven." Golden Crocodile Enshrined clicked his tongue.

Soon, the domain expanded, and everyone within it was covered by a layer of orange-yellow transparent Soul Power barrier.

Yue Guan said, "My second Soul Skill is the Miraculous Heaven-Piercing Chrysanthemum Domain. This domain grants me a fifty percent increase in Soul Power recovery speed, and it can provide allied targets within the domain with an Adamantine Barrier. Before my Soul Power is depleted, the barrier will be indestructible and impervious to all attacks."

"Oh, that's interesting. Then let me see whether this Adamantine Barrier is truly as indestructible and impervious as you claim." Demon Subduing Douluo, who stood at the very end of the Enshrined's ranks, suddenly stepped forward. With a grab of his hand, the Coiled Dragon Staff fell into his grasp.

He swung the Coiled Dragon Staff at Yue Guan.

With a resounding clang, the Coiled Dragon Staff struck the Adamantine Barrier as if it had hit a golden bell, failing to shake it in the slightest.

"Oh, that's interesting." Demon Subduing Douluo curled his lips and increased his Soul Power output.

Yue Guan could feel his Soul Power rapidly draining. With his Rank 93 strength, he was still far inferior to the Rank 96 Demon Subduing Douluo. As time passed, his Adamantine Barrier gradually faded, while his Soul Power drained at an alarming rate.

Finally, after holding on for more than half an hour, Yue Guan's Soul Power gave out first, and the Adamantine Barrier was on the verge of collapse. At that moment, Demon Subduing Douluo withdrew his attack and returned to the Enshrined's ranks.

Yue Guan's face was pale, clearly having consumed a great deal of Soul Power.

"Enough." Qian Renxue's gaze swept over the other future elders of Spirit Hall. "Once you reach Rank 90 or above, you may come to the Angel God Palace and seek me out to obtain a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring. Of course, the prerequisite is that you must be confident of acquiring a Spirit Ring of at least one hundred thousand years as your ninth ring."

"Tuoba Xi, Hu Yan Zhen, step forward," Qian Renxue called.

The two hurriedly stepped out. "What does Young Mistress require? Please give us your orders."

Qian Renxue said, "After absorbing the immortal herbs, both of you will be able to break through to Title Douluo within ten years. At the same time, I hope your two forces can eventually merge into a single sect. This new sect will be called the Dragon Elephant Sect."

Sky Crocodile asked, "Young Mistress, why do this?"

Qian Renxue said, "I want to create another Upper Three Sects."

Tuoba Xi and Hu Yan Zhen exchanged glances. Tuoba Xi said, "As you command. Please give the White Armored Earth Dragon Family and the Elephant Armor Sect some time. We guarantee that we will persuade everyone within our sects to merge the two sects into one."

After distributing the immortal herbs and arranging the merger between the Elephant Armor Sect and the White Armored Earth Dragon Family, Qian Renxue dismissed them. The Worship Hall returned to silence, leaving only Qian Renxue and the Seven Great Enshrined.

"Grandfathers, there is something I hope you will agree to next," Qian Renxue said.

"Please speak, Young Mistress. Whatever we can do, we will certainly do for you," Sky Crocodile said.

"I hope you can marry and have children, producing descendants with outstanding bloodlines to inherit your martial souls."

In her previous life, because of the discord between the Worship Hall and the Pope's Palace, Spirit Hall had allowed a bunch of clowns to represent it in that Spirit Master Tournament, only to lose to Shrek Academy. In this life, Qian Renxue would not allow such a thing to happen.

Shrek's talent was indeed quite impressive thanks to the immortal herbs, but that did not mean Spirit Hall was lacking. To say nothing else, the Six-winged Angel, Golden Crocodile King, Beast King Lion, Azure Luan Bird, Guang Ling Divine Bow, and Coiled Dragon Staff—none of these top-tier martial souls had even appeared yet.
