Su Bai glanced at his Destiny Points. He had over seventy-five thousand.
Thirty thousand points in exchange for such a perfect tool—this deal was more than worth it.
"Purchase."
Without the slightest hesitation, Su Bai issued the command in his mind.
[ Ding! 30,000 Destiny Points consumed. Remaining Destiny Points: 45,315.] [Balance Curse Seal issued!] [Bright Phoenix Spirit Ring Set (nine rings) issued to the System Space!]
In an instant, an immense and complex stream of information flooded into Su Bai's mind.
It was knowledge composed of countless ancient runes and Energy Circuits—the method for casting the "Balance Curse Seal."
At the same time, within his System Space, a dazzling sphere of light formed from nine-colored radiance floated silently.
The plan was set.
Su Bai turned and looked toward the bed.
Zhu Zhuqing's breathing was steady. She was sleeping deeply.
A trace of peace rested on her cold, stunning face, as though the Nightmare that had plagued her for years had finally vanished overnight.
Su Bai walked to the bedside, bent down, and lightly kissed her cheek.
A warm sensation touched his lips.
Su Bai straightened up and turned to face the silent figure in the room.
"We're leaving."
Su Bai's voice was calm.
Ye Xishui raised her head and asked,
"Where?"
Her voice was somewhat hoarse. This was the first time she had taken the initiative to speak since submitting to him.
"Find a forest where no one will disturb us," Su Bai said. "What happens next may be a little loud."
Ye Xishui did not ask any further questions.
She took a single step, appearing at Su Bai's side. One hand lightly rested on his shoulder.
Su Bai only felt a strange force envelop him. The view beyond the window instantly twisted and stretched, becoming a blur of light and shadow.
The sensation lasted less than a second.
When his vision cleared again, the cramped dormitory had vanished.
He was standing beneath a cluster of dense ancient trees.
The air was cool and damp, thick with the scent of soil and decaying vegetation.
The high-hanging moon cast its cold glow through the gaps in the branches, leaving mottled fragments of shadow across the forest floor.
This was an uninhabited forest more than ten miles from Shrek Academy.
"Master, will this place do?" Ye Xishui's voice sounded beside him.
Su Bai surveyed the quiet woodland and was very satisfied with the place Ye Xishui had chosen.
He turned around and looked at Ye Xishui, who waited silently beside him. Even the voluminous black robe could not conceal her peerless beauty or alluring figure.
"Your martial souls, Bright Phoenix and Blood Soul Demon Puppet, have powers that conflict with each other."
"So although you possessed Twin Martial Souls in life, you could only focus on cultivating one of them, correct?"
Su Bai asked softly.
Ye Xishui nodded slightly, regret in her eyes. Twin Martial Souls had been a gift from heaven, yet she had been unable to make use of them.
"Yes," she replied gently.
"I will solve that problem for you. And I will grant you the nine Spirit Rings of the Bright Phoenix martial soul."
Su Bai spoke unhurriedly.
Ye Xishui was momentarily stunned, unable to process it.
Resolve the conflict between her martial souls?
Grant her nine Spirit Rings?
How could that be possible?
But then Ye Xishui remembered that Su Bai had summoned her soul from a world ten thousand years in the future, and she suddenly found herself accepting it.
Perhaps this was a miracle!
Su Bai walked step by step toward Ye Xishui until they were close enough to feel each other's breath.
He reached out and directly pulled away the voluminous black robe draped over Ye Xishui.
The robe slipped down, revealing the smooth, jade-like skin beneath.
Ye Xishui instinctively tensed, wanting to retreat, only to discover that her legs would not obey her at all.
Su Bai's hand gently pressed against her flat, warm lower abdomen.
The instant their skin touched, Ye Xishui shuddered. A strange sensation spread from her abdomen throughout her entire body.
An uncontrollable flush rose to the cheeks of her cold, enchanting face.
"Focus."
Su Bai's voice reached her.
The next moment, an incomparably profound black-and-white rune lit up in his palm.
Like a living creature, the rune instantly burrowed into Ye Xishui's body.
Ye Xishui felt a roar explode in her mind, as though two world-destroying forces were colliding within her.
One was supremely yang and unyielding, bright and holy.
The other was supremely yin and wicked, bloody and bizarre.
The clash between the two forces made her let out a muffled groan of pain. Fine beads of sweat instantly formed on her forehead.
Just when she thought she was about to be torn apart by the power, the black-and-white rune suddenly blazed with light.
It forcibly suppressed the two rampaging forces and, in a gentle manner, brought them into balance.
The chaotic sensation rapidly faded.
Replacing it was an unprecedented sense of clarity and harmony.
Light and evil no longer conflicted. Instead, they could transform according to her will.
Ye Xishui slowly opened her eyes. The confusion and pain in them had disappeared, leaving only clarity and calm.
She even felt that the Curse Seal had soothed much of her stubborn, extreme temperament.
"How does it feel?" Su Bai withdrew his hand, his voice calm.
"Master... the power within me... it..."
Ye Xishui felt the two distinct yet harmoniously coexisting streams of Soul Power within her body, but for a moment, she could not find the right words to describe them.
This feeling overturned nearly a century of her understanding.
"Since that is the case, then let me show you what a true miracle is."
Su Bai's voice carried a trace of amusement.
Before Ye Xishui's stunned eyes, he opened his palm.
A dazzling sphere of light gathered from nine-colored radiance appeared out of thin air in his hand.
The Soul Power Fluctuations contained within the sphere were pure and vast, making even Ye Xishui, a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo, feel an overwhelming desire.
Then, as Ye Xishui's expression completely froze, Su Bai suddenly clenched his fingers.
"Crack!"
The sphere of light shattered in his grasp.
The next moment, a sight Ye Xishui would never forget for the rest of her life unfolded.
A brilliant yellow light shot from the shattered sphere and wrapped around her with absolute precision, transforming into a Spirit Ring that slowly pulsed.
First Spirit Ring!
Before she could react, a second yellow light followed close behind.
Second Spirit Ring!
Then came purple light!
Third Spirit Ring! Fourth Spirit Ring!
After that, black light flew forth one after another like ink!
Fifth Spirit Ring! Sixth Spirit Ring! Seventh Spirit Ring! Eighth Spirit Ring!
Finally, a blinding blood-red light soared into the sky. After circling once in the air, it suddenly descended!
Ninth Spirit Ring! One hundred thousand years!
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!
A full nine Spirit Rings appeared out of thin air, circling Ye Xishui in perfect order and fitting flawlessly with her Bright Phoenix martial soul, which had never been unleashed before!
"Rumble!"
An indescribably terrifying wave of energy erupted explosively with Ye Xishui at its center!
Violent shockwaves swept through the entire forest. Countless ancient trees were ripped up by the roots, only to be shredded into dust in midair!
