Godhead and the Sprite

Shrek Academy, Outer Court Dormitory Building.

Having already obtained the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, Zhou Huan returned directly to the academy after leaving Dragon City. He had no plans to return to Peach Spring Village during this holiday.

As graduation from the Outer Court approaches, Zhou Huan needs to spend more time improving his Soul Power Level.

In sixth grade, Zhou Huan spent less time in the library, but went to Sea God Island more and more often.

It wasn't because he valued romance over books, but rather because Zhou Huan felt he should celebrate properly every time he broke through to the next level of Soul Power, and having a casual meal with the girl he liked wouldn't be too much to ask.

Time flies, and another ten months have passed.

Using the Snow Pill as a prototype, Zhou Huan finally condensed his Second Soul Core — the Extreme Ice Soul Core —which, together with his First Soul Core — the Extreme Cold Soul Core, formed Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores. His Soul Power also reached Level 90, reaching the level of Quasi-Titled Douluo.

Just as he was about to leave the Floating Pagoda and go downstairs to have dinner with Zhang Lexuan to celebrate, Zhou Huan suddenly discovered that the Five-Colored Ball inside the Floating Pagoda had changed.

The Five-Colored Ball, which originally emitted white, yellow, purple, black, and red light, suddenly contracted all its radiance.

The round sphere slowly transformed into a pentahedron, with each face possessing a different Soul Ring color.

Could it be because I condensed my Second Soul Core and broke through to the Quasi-Titled Douluo level?

Zhou Huan frowned, thinking to himself.

At this moment, Snow Emperor and others also came over, and were speechless as they looked at the five -Five-Colored Ball that had suddenly turned into a pentahedron.

In the end, it was Snow Empress who suggested, "Why don't you give it a try?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan was taken aback at first, and then asked in confusion, "Test what?"

The Snow Empress replied, "At first, that Blue White Bead in the Flame Palace gave me a very peculiar feeling. Later, it was absorbed by the Floating Pagoda. You said that bead was called Ice Heart."

"Then, not long after, the Floating Pagoda condensed into Five-Colored Ball; now, you have just broken through to Level 90, and the Five-Colored Ball has become a pentahedron."

"No matter how you look at it, it's inextricably linked to your level up. So, if you want to know exactly what it is, you can try absorbing and refining it to see what happens?"

Zhou Huan: "... But wouldn't it be unsafe to absorb it without knowing anything about it?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Huan tentatively suggested, "How about you do it?"

Upon hearing this, the Snow Empress glared coldly at Zhou Huan: "If I could absorb it, I would have done so long ago."

Zhou Huan was now a bit confused. "What do you mean? You even tried to absorb it? Then why didn't I notice?"

Snow Empress replied calmly, "I haven't tried it, but whenever I have the thought of absorbing it, the Floating Pagoda issues a warning."

Holy crap!

It's that Floating Pagoda again?!

Zhou Huan almost unleashed a torrent of profanities. "You faking death, you dare say you have no independent thought?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Huan said, "How about we play it safe and just throw away this Five-Colored Ball —uh, no, this pentahedron? Out of sight, out of mind. Why take the risk?"

Just as Zhou Huan finished speaking, the Floating Pagoda suddenly shook violently.

Seeing this, Zhou Huan smiled and said, "What, so you can hear me?"

Immediately, the Floating Pagoda fell silent again, as if it hadn't been the one that had just trembled.

This guy's reaction was so stupid! Who hides themselves like that?

Uh, no, it's Martial Soul, not a person.

Therefore, Zhou Huan continued, "Anyway, I'm only one Soul Ring away from becoming Titled Douluo. While my strength isn't enough to dominate the Douluo Continent, it's not bad either. There's really no need to risk absorbing an unknown object. So, let's just throw it away. It'll be clean, and I won't have to worry about it self-destructing sometime..."

Before Zhou Huan could finish speaking, the Floating Pagoda trembled again, and then a three-inch-tall humanoid Sprite dressed in a pure white dress materialized in front of everyone.

Faced with this unexpected Sprite, Zhou Huan and the others were all startled. The Ice Bear King almost slapped it with its claw, but fortunately, the Snow Empress held it down.

For a long time, the Sprite remained silent, simply floating in the air, staring coolly at Zhou Huan with an air of arrogance.

But she looks so small and delicate that she's undeniably adorable.

After the initial shock, Zhou Huan realized that he and the Sprite had some inexplicable connection, so he asked, "Little thing, aren't you going to introduce yourself?"

Upon hearing this, the Sprite's adorable eyes widened, but her voice was that of a child. "I'm not called 'little thing,' and besides, you're not allowed to throw away your Godhead!"

Godhead? That pentahedron?

Zhou Huan was overjoyed, but outwardly remained calm and asked, "Is that pentahedron a Godhead? Does having it mean I have God Position Inheritance?"

The Sprite curled his lip, looking at Zhou Huan as if he were an idiot, and said, "Godhead is Godhead, God Position is God Position; they are different."

Zhou Huan continued, "What's different?"

The Sprite thought for a moment and then answered, "God Position, simply put, was originally Deity Position created by the strong. When they passed a certain stage of cultivation, they no longer needed the God Position, so they would pass God Position Inheritance down and let others take over their responsibilities."

"But the Godhead before you is different. It is not yet fully formed, nor is it a God Position, but it can grow. After you absorb it, you will not only obtain the most suitable ninth Soul Ring for you, but it may even help you break through to the god level in the future."

Is this for real?

Zhou Huan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, but she quickly regained her composure. "How do I know you're not lying to me? You've been hiding all this time, refusing to come out."

Seeing that she was being questioned, the Sprite snorted before looking down at her with a cute but fierce expression and said, "You weren't even Level 90 before, so I couldn't take human form. How could I come out?"

So it's my fault for leveling up too slowly?

You little brat, you've never seen how fast other Soul Master level up, have you?

That's already considered light speed, okay?

However, upon hearing the Sprite's words, Zhou Huan had a guess. "So, you are the... Tower Spirit of the Floating Pagoda?"

The Sprite raised its delicate head and said, "I am not a tower spirit, but Pagoda Soul."

Zhou Huan was speechless. What was the difference between a tower spirit and Pagoda Soul? Weren't they the same thing?

Zhou Huan patiently asked, "So, how should I address you? Pagoda Soul? Little Pagoda? Little Soul?"

Wait a minute, why does the name "Little Pagoda" sound so familiar?

Before Zhou Huan could think further, the Sprite replied, "I am who I am. You can just call me 'Master'."

Zhou Huan: "..." You're the kind of person who craves what they lack most, isn't that right?

Therefore, Zhou Huan replied, "Okay, Sprite."

Upon hearing this, the Sprite glared at Zhou Huan fiercely again, then vanished with a "pop".

Seeing this, Zhou Huan looked at Snow Empress and the others, and asked, "Snow Empress, do you think this is believable?"

The Snow Empress said, "She is your Spirit of Martial Soul, how would I know? I have never seen such a bizarre Soul Master as you. There are truly all sorts of strange things."

Zhou Huan was speechless. He didn't know either. Although he could control the Floating Pagoda, he had absolutely no control over this so-called "Pagoda Soul." This little thing was completely uncontrollable, and in the long run, it was truly unpredictable what might happen.

At this moment, Miss Narcissus said weakly, "We're all inside the Floating Pagoda now, so she can hear everything we say, right? Isn't this what Zhou Huan mentioned before, 'loudly plotting'?"

Everyone: "..." You are indeed a clever girl, but instead of discussing it inside the Floating Pagoda, you went out to plot, wouldn't that Sprite know? She is right inside Zhou Huan's Martial Soul.

At the same time, six words suddenly appeared in the sky above them. "This lord can hear you."
