Zhang Lexuan's Advancement
To Ling Huan's surprise, it was Snow Empress who spoke first after hearing Zhang Lexuan's greeting, "Hello."
Snow Empress still remembered that it was this female Soul Master entrusted her, who was still trapped in the God-Sealing Platform at the time, to Zhou Huan.
If it weren't for this series of twists and turns, the Snow Empress would most likely have perished together with the humans who wanted to take her Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
Then, Brother Octagon and Miss Narcissus also greeted him.
The scene immediately fell silent again.
Actually, this is quite normal.
Since it was Zhang Lexuan's first time meeting them, and they were all Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, including the Snow Empress, it was difficult for her to find anything to talk about.
After all, in Zhang Lexuan's past experiences, Soul Master and Soul Beast were always at odds, especially Soul Beast Over 100,000 Years Old, who were more disgusted and hostile towards humans.
There's no way around it; this is determined by the fundamental contradiction between Soul Beast and the Soul Master profession.
As for Snow Empress and the other two, Snow Empress was naturally aloof, Octagonal was always taciturn, and Miss Narcissus was a bit more lively, but she had only seen Zhang Lexuan once in secret in the Floating Pagoda a year ago, and only knew that Zhou Huan treated this female Soul Master differently from others.
Seeing this, Zhou Huan could only say, "Ahem, everyone, don't be so awkward. You'll get to know each other better eventually. Let's get down to business now."
Then, Zhou Huan looked at the Miss Narcissus: "Narcissus, it's your turn this time. Don't worry, you won't even feel anything during the whole process."
The Miss Narcissus swayed her two leaves at the top and said, "Yes, I know."
Immediately, Zhou Huan activated the Floating Pagoda, and white Soul Power began to enter the body of Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone.
Gradually, drawn by the white Soul Power, the Miss Narcissus's soul slowly detached from her physical body.
In just a few breaths, Miss Narcissus appeared inside the Floating Pagoda in her soul form.
At the same time, Zhou Huan directly severed all connections between the Miss Narcissus's soul and her Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone body.
Instantly, a red Soul Ring slowly rose from the Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone's body.
Zhang Lexuan, who witnessed the entire process, looked even more surprised and curious.
If Soul Ring can be obtained in this way, wouldn't that mean there's a way to resolve the fundamental conflict between Soul Master and Soul Beast?
However, such a thought only flashed through Zhang Lexuan's mind.
If that's the case, wouldn't that put Zhou Huan on the edge of a knife?
The Douluo Continent probably couldn't accommodate such a unique Soul Master.
At this moment, Zhang Lexuan truly understood why Zhou Huan had been hiding his strength, and why, so far, only she knew about his Second Martial Soul.
She now realized more deeply how much trust Zhou Huan had placed in her.
It's impossible for someone to trust you completely and tell you all their secrets, especially in Soul Master world. It's impossible not to feel a ripple in your heart.
Zhang Lexuan was no exception; she was indeed a very powerful Soul Master, but at the same time, she was also an ordinary girl.
To be honest, Zhang Lexuan had never been clear about her feelings for Zhou Huan. Was it love, or just seeing him as a good friend?
She had never seriously thought about it.
I just feel that it's good enough for the two of us to get along naturally like this; there's no need to deliberately pursue anything.
In matters of the heart, she has never been a proactive person; she prefers to let things take their natural course.
Zhang Lexuan wasn't oblivious to Zhou Huan's affections; she just hadn't figured out how to respond, since he hadn't confessed his feelings, had he?
Just as Zhang Lexuan's mind was wandering, Zhou Huan, unaware that the beauty beside him suddenly had so many ideas, looked at the red Soul Ring and said, "Sister Lexuan, you can absorb the Soul Ring now. Let's complete the advancement inside the Floating Pagoda."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan instantly snapped out of her daze, suppressed her various thoughts, and nodded. "Okay."
Immediately, Zhang Lexuan sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and began to absorbing the Soul Ring by circulating her Soul Power.
Zhang Lexuan had already absorbed a Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone, and now she was absorbing a similar Soul Ring. In addition, there was definitely no resentment from Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast after its death, so the entire absorption process was incredibly smooth and without any setbacks.
Just one hour later, Zhang Lexuan had completed the absorption of her ninth Soul Ring.
This is far better than when she absorbed her Eighth Soul Ring, the Hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring from the Moon Swallowing Red Wolf.
Although injuries sustained during the great battle played a part, the lingering resentment of the Moon Swallowing Red Wolf after his death was not so easily suppressed.
Ultimately, after absorbing the Moon Swallowing Red Wolf Soul Ring, Zhang Lexuan needed more than half a year to fully recover.
This time, absorbing the Hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring from the Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone was even smoother than absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.
After absorbing the Soul Ring, Zhang Lexuan looked at the Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone Body again. It definitely had Soul Bone, after all, it was Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, but she didn't know what it was.
Seeing this, Zhou Huan smiled and said, "Now, it's time to see if Sister Lexuan has any luck and if she can find the most suitable Soul Bone."
Zhang Lexuan ignored Zhou Huan's teasing, instead forming a sword with her fingers and slashing towards the Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone Body. A beam of moonlight flashed by in an instant!
Immediately, the body of the Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone split open, and a piece of pure white jade-like Soul Bone, enveloped in Soul Power, slowly fell into Zhang Lexuan's hand.
It was actually a Torso Soul Bone!
Zhou Huan's eyes lit up. "Sister Lexuan, you've had an incredible stroke of luck! This torso bone is definitely the most suitable for you. But now, Sister Lexuan, the immortal Immortal Herb you absorbed is Narcissus, the Soul Ring you absorbed is Narcissus, and even your torso bone is Narcissus. I think we can change Sister Lexuan to Narcissus Sister."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan immediately rolled her eyes at Zhou Huan: "You're the one who's turned into Immortal Herb."
After that, ignoring Zhou Huan, Zhang Lexuan began absorbing the Torso Soul Bone of the Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone.
Zhou Huan, meanwhile, observed the first level of the Floating Pagoda with boredom, but did not discover anything else special.
During this time, Zhou Huan's consciousness also entered the second level of the Floating Pagoda, where the blue void sky seemed unchanged.
Another hour passed, and Zhang Lexuan finally completed the absorption of the Torso Soul Bone.
After assessing her own condition, even Zhang Lexuan, with her usually calm personality, couldn't help but feel excited.
Her Soul Power actually broke through to level ninety-two.
It's important to understand that for Titled Douluo to advance one level is often very difficult, requiring a long period of training, and success is not guaranteed.
Of course, that's not the most important thing.
Besides the two Soul Skills that the Hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring brought her— Moon Immortal Descent and Moon Immortal Heavenly Dance —what delighted Zhang Lexuan the most was that this Torso Soul Bone gave her a very powerful Domain Skill called "Cold Moon Immortal Light"!
Unlike the Domain Skill — Crescent Blood Kill Realm— that the Left Arm Bone of the Moon Swallowing Red Wolf granted her.
The Crescent Blood Kill Realm is filled with the violent, murderous aura of the blood moon, while the Cold Moon Immortal Light is a "gentle" extinguishing of cold light!
This kind of "gentleness" is no less than violence, and may even be more deadly.
All I can say is that Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone and Bone are a perfect match for the Moon Martial Soul.
Zhang Lexuan felt that her Moon Martial Soul seemed to have reached a new level, but without comparison, it was hard to say.
In short, no matter what, their strength has increased dramatically!
Then, Zhang Lexuan looked at Zhou Huan and said, "Thank you."
Zhou Huan smiled and said, "Sister Lexuan, you're too kind. Now that things are settled, shall we go out?"
Zhang Lexuan nodded. "Okay."
Immediately, Zhou Huan waved his hand, and the two figures vanished from the Floating Pagoda.
