Martial Soul Mutates Again, Amethyst Crystal Bear?

Being a caregiver is certainly not an easy task, especially when one cannot cultivate.

Fortunately, neither of them were taciturn. After setting up a thin barrier of Soul Power, they started gossiping casually.

"By the way, Grandfather said that Senior Broad Hill asked you to challenge someone after you came back. Who is it? Is he very powerful? Does he have any allies? Do you need my help?"

After Dugu Yan completely transformed into Battle Soul Master, her desire to fight remained high, and she had never formally sparred with anyone, so she always wanted to find an opportunity to exchange blows with someone.

Han Li doesn't count; she can't even touch him, so what kind of sparring is that?

Hearing her words, Han Li gave her an amused look. "Are you sure you want to know?"

"Nonsense, otherwise why would I ask you?" Dugu Yan rolled her Byakugan at him.

"Then you're in trouble. Your idol might hold a grudge against you."

Han Li clearly remembered that she had said she admired the current female Pope Bibi Dong, so he made a teasing remark.

"Ah?"

Dugu Yan opened her mouth wide, somewhat puzzled.

"Hmm, Master told me to go beat up... uh, challenge her disciple, Hu Liena. Do you still want to participate?"

Han Li suddenly spoke up halfway through his sentence, raising an eyebrow at Dugu Yan.

"Participate? Why wouldn't I participate? An idol is an idol, but I've never even met her. Hmm, since we don't get along with her, we definitely have to fight, fight her hard. So this is how chaotic things are inside your Spirit Hall? Even the Elder and the Pope don't get along."

Dugu Yan was stunned for a moment, then stated her position without hesitation, and finally made a sarcastic remark.

"Yes, my master and I belong to the Worship Hall, and you and Grandfather naturally belong to it too. But it doesn't matter, that's their previous generation's business, we don't need to care, we just need to ignore it."

Han Li gave her a brief explanation of the faction issue, and then added some more after thinking for a moment.

"If you beat up the Pope's disciple, won't you get into trouble?"

Dugu Yan became even more worried.

"It's alright, just control yourself. Besides, she's several years older than me. If she can't beat me and gets her elders to cause trouble for me, that would be even more trouble for them. Hmm, speaking of which, I haven't even met her yet, so it's fine," Han Li reassured him.

Hearing his answer, Dugu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to ask something else, suddenly, Xiu'er, who was cultivating, made a noise.

The two immediately removed their Soul Power barrier and moved closer.

"It's okay, maybe this is a good thing."

With just one glance, Han Li relaxed.

At this moment, Xiu'er was enveloped in a purple-gold light, and her heart was pounding. However, there was no pain on her face; instead, she looked comfortable.

"Is she really alright? Her heart is glowing and beating so fast."

Dugu Yan asked uncertainly. She had a good impression of this girl who was a few years younger than her and didn't want to see anything happen to her.

"Don't worry, it's alright. Like you, Xiu'er's Martial Soul is also evolving. But 'evolving' isn't quite the right word; it's more like 'strengthening.' Her superior Martial Soul is quite terrifying. The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum alone can't cross that threshold."

Han Li tugged at her hand, signaling her to relax.

"You're not talking about the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, are you? I've never heard of anyone having that kind of Martial Soul."

Dugu Yan knew what had happened to Xiu'er and that her current Martial Soul was a mutated Crystal Bear, so she asked in surprise.

"You guessed right, it's the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, but that's impossible now. Xiu'er's foundation is insufficient. Even with the immortal Immortal Herb as a base, she would have to reach the Soul Saint level before her Martial Soul could fully evolve."

Han Li affirmed her statement and then offered his own speculation.

"I never would have guessed that you had such high expectations for Xiu'er."

Dugu Yan looked Han Li up and down and said with a hint of sourness.

"Ha, what are you jealous of? If your Martial Soul continues to evolve according to my plan, it won't be weaker than the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Besides, your Martial Soul is already top-tier on the continent."

Han Li grabbed her hand and replied, somewhat amused and exasperated.

"Uh, I forgot, my Martial Soul Evolution much yet, and I always subconsciously think that my Martial Soul is still the Jade Phosphorous Serpent." Dugu Yan turned her head away somewhat embarrassedly and said in a low voice.

For a moment, Han Li fell silent. Girl, you were just discussing finding someone to fight with, and you forgot about it as soon as you turned around. You're really something.

Dugu Yan was also a little embarrassed, but fortunately, Xiu'er was always a kind and understanding girl, and she did not forget to help out even at this time.

The purple-gold light emanating from her body quickly receded, and she opened her eyes.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw two people standing next to her, looking at each other without saying a word.

She blinked and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you all?"

Han Li and Dugu Yan then realized that she had woken up, and the awkward atmosphere immediately disappeared. They both turned to look at her.

"It's nothing, Xiu'er. How are you feeling?"

Han Li reached out and pulled her up, asking with a smile.

"It feels very comfortable. My body feels much clearer, and even the circulation of my Soul Power is much faster. Hmm, my Martial Soul seems different too."

As she spoke, Xiu'er even moved the round ears on her head, looking quite adorable.

Han Li and Dugu Yan both looked up at her head following her movements and found that there was indeed a new change.

Xiu'er's ears used to be crystal-colored, more transparent, but now, they are surrounded by a light purple-gold coating, making them look more luxurious and beautiful.

"Xiu'er, try possessing your Martial Soul and see if there are any new changes."

Han Li wanted to do a simple assessment of the changes in his Martial Soul.

"Good."

Xiu'er responded and immediately entered the Martial Soul Possession state.

The main changes from her Martial Soul Possession were concentrated in her hands, so Han Li looked directly at her hands.

Sure enough, Xiu'er's Martial Soul was strengthened again. Her hands, which were originally just brown after being possessed, had now turned purplish-gold. Moreover, the very tip of her palms faintly shimmered with a metallic luster, but had not yet fully formed into sharp claws.

Not only that, after this time the Martial Soul possessed her, Xiu'er's whole body was covered with a layer of purple-gold light, making her look much stronger than before.

"Xiao Li, I feel like I'm much stronger than before after the Martial Soul Possession. Both my strength and defense have increased by about 30%. Hmm, my crystallization ability has also improved a bit, but probably only by one-tenth."

Xiu'er happily talked about her new changes, her eyes narrowing.

Dugu Yan walked over curiously, wanting to pinch her arm, but found that it was blocked by the purple-gold light.

"Congratulations, Sister Xiu'er! Perhaps your Martial Soul can now be called the Amethyst Crystal Bear."

Han Li looked at the girl in front of him and was very happy for her.
