Na'er Awakens

Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li's martial soul was called the Prayer Angel, an exceptionally special healing type martial soul. Cultivating soul power with it was extremely difficult.

She had been born in the slums. After becoming a Soul Master, she joined a mysterious organization secretly established by the Federal Government Parliament. She could have used that opportunity to leave the slums, but she chose to remain there, using her healing abilities to treat the poor.

Even she did not know when her Prayer Angel martial soul had begun to improve. It was only after her cultivation had grown very powerful that she discovered the Prayer Angel's true method of cultivation: receiving external Faith Power.

For every person she healed, she received such energy from them. By the time she discovered this, she was already at the Soul King level.

Around fifty years ago, a great plague had swept across the Douluo Continent. Many people died in that disaster.

At the time, Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li had seven rings and was already a Soul Saint. In just fifteen days, she traveled through fourteen provinces across the continent. By the time the last plague patient had been treated, her life force had already been exhausted.

In only fifteen days, she had aged fifty years. She had constantly burned both the Faith Power she had absorbed and the flame of her own life to enhance her healing abilities.

At that time, she was on the verge of death, beyond saving. When she was discovered, she had already completely lost consciousness.

However, from that day onward, as the plague patients gradually recovered, wisps of Faith Power began to gather around her. After remaining unconscious for a full year, Ya Li awoke. That year of slumber had directly raised her from the Soul Saint level to the Title Douluo level. She was hailed as the fastest person in Douluo Continent history to advance from seven rings to nine rings.

Later, Yun Ming snatched her away from the Federal Government. From then on, she lived on Sea God Island at Shrek Academy, rarely leaving seclusion. Yet whenever a major disaster occurred, she would always appear at the scene, using her power to save lives.

She was already over eighty years old. Over those eighty years, the amount of Faith Power accumulated within her body was impossible to estimate.

This Faith Power could not only increase her cultivation, but also raise the age of her Spirit Souls. During the plague fifty years ago, she had gained an enormous amount of Faith Power. Her final Spirit Soul broke through the hundred-thousand-year mark then, causing her last three soul rings to evolve into red ones in a single stroke.

Without any hesitation, she poured an endless stream of Faith Power into Xia Yi's body. In her eyes, even if Xia Yi's body burst apart, he would not be able to absorb much Faith Power. She did not care in the slightest.

As Faith Power continuously flowed into his body, Xia Yi involuntarily entered the state of Martial Soul Possession.

Nourished by the Faith Power, he felt more refreshed than ever before. Both body and mind entered an ethereal state.

However, Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li had clearly underestimated Xia Yi's demand for Faith Power. At that moment, his body was like a bottomless abyss. No matter how much Faith Power she poured into him, he accepted it all.

"I refuse to believe I can't satisfy you!" Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li snorted stubbornly. Losing their earlier clash was one thing, but she refused to believe that, with her cultivation as a level ninety-eight Super Douluo, she could not even provide Xia Yi with enough Faith Power.

Threads of radiance spread from her body. As six black and three red soul rings appeared, a delicate Angel emerged behind her. It had three pairs of wings, and with a gentle flap of its six wings, it arrived before Xia Yi.

This was Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li's martial soul—the Prayer Angel.

Immense Faith Power erupted from the Prayer Angel, gathering into a golden river of Faith Power that linked the Prayer Angel to Xia Yi's brow. The vast Faith Power flowed from the Prayer Angel into Xia Yi's body like a rushing river.

Under this immense Faith Power, Xia Yi's martial soul slowly began to change. Before everyone's astonished eyes, a second tail gradually grew from behind him.

"Martial Soul Evolution?" Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li narrowed her eyes. If Xia Yi's martial soul could continue evolving, then the shortcomings in his talent could be remedied.

If it could evolve to Nine Tails, he would qualify to enter Shrek Academy's Inner Court.

Of course, even a Nine-Tailed Fox martial soul was still somewhat inferior to the martial souls of Shrek Academy Inner Court's prodigies.

As the second fox tail took shape, the suction within Xia Yi's body finally began to fade. Only then did Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li slowly withdraw her Prayer Angel martial soul and examine Xia Yi again.

Evolving just one tail requires such an enormous amount of Faith Power. To evolve nine tails, even draining me dry would not be enough. Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li muttered inwardly. Still, she could not help asking again, "My martial soul needs Faith Power to cultivate, while your martial soul needs Faith Power to evolve. Are you really certain you do not want to take me as your master?"

"I don't want to become a support!" Xia Yi was in high spirits after his Martial Soul Evolution, but he could not agree to Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li because of that.

The Faith Power within Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li's body no longer attracted him. In other words, Ya Li's Faith Power could no longer be used to evolve his martial soul.

His first tail had evolved by consuming Gu Yue's blood, while his second tail had evolved through Ya Li's Faith Power.

Xia Yi himself did not know what kind of power his third tail would require to evolve, but it definitely would not be Faith Power.

Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li did not know this, however. She mistakenly believed that as long as there was enough Faith Power, Xia Yi could continue evolving.

"Then let me see your soul skills." A trace of regret flashed through Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li's beautiful eyes. After so many years, she had never expected that the disciple she had finally found somewhat pleasing would reject her so thoroughly.

"Fine. But it would be best to find someone with lower cultivation to cooperate with me." Xia Yi nodded. He had already promised Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li this, and besides, she had helped his martial soul evolve.

"Alright." Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li nodded. Her cultivation was too high, so the effects of Xia Yi's soul skills were indeed not very obvious when used on her.

Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li did not intend to trouble anyone else. She walked over to Tang Wulin and took Na'er from his arms.

The Prayer Angel flew out from her body and landed on Na'er. Following a gentle wave of soul power, the unconscious Na'er slowly opened her purple eyes.

"Master's Wife, wah..." The moment Na'er saw Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li, all her grievances erupted at once. With a wail, she burst into tears.

"Alright, don't cry. Master's Wife knows everything." Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li patted Na'er's shoulder with some distress. Though she did not know exactly how Na'er had been defeated by Xia Yi, Na'er must have suffered quite a lot.

Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li could never have imagined what Na'er had truly experienced.
