"Pfft—"
Wu Ming, sitting beside them, couldn't help laughing aloud.
"Enough, Mu Yue. Stop pretending. You were walking just fine a moment ago, so why did your legs go weak as soon as you got near him? If you want your junior to help you evolve first, just say so. Did the famous Iceberg Goddess of the inner courtyard really need to pull this trick?"
Mu Yue's face instantly turned red as a ripe apple.
She shoved Xue Yuheng away, covered her face, and ran into the restroom without looking back.
Su Tong and Hua Yao laughed along with her, and the atmosphere in the private room immediately grew more relaxed.
Xue Yuheng shook his head helplessly and picked up the cup on the table for a drink.
That afternoon, Baise was the first to seek out Xue Yuheng.
She had gathered her materials yesterday, as soon as she'd received the list. With the Xuanming God Crystal Xue Yuheng had given her earlier, she was better prepared than anyone.
The two entered the quiet room again.
Following the Wordless Heavenly Book's Deduction, Xue Yuheng arranged the natural treasures according to their positions.
Vast Power of Creation surged forth, melting all the materials.
Pure water-origin power rushed into Baise's body like a mighty river.
Baise sat cross-legged and activated her Weak Water Martial Soul.
A stream of transparent water slowly gathered before her, emanating a gentle aura imbued with the power to devour.
Under the infusion of the Power of Creation, the stream gradually darkened until it turned as black as ink.
The black river churned, and faint whispers of the dead seemed to rise from it. A chilling aura from the underworld instantly filled the entire quiet room.
A Quasi-God-Level Martial Soul—the Styx.
It wielded the authority of Ultimate Water. Unlike Xu Jinrou's Qingtian Xuanwu, which possessed the suppressive kind of Ultimate Water, it had the ability to devour all things.
Baise's Soul Power also surged wildly at that moment. Her cultivation, which had been at level fifty-six, rose steadily until it stopped at level sixty.
The door to the quiet room opened.
Baise stepped out, her skin as white as jade, her bearing as proud as a swan. Her aura was even more mysterious than before.
Mu Yue and the other two, waiting outside, watched Baise's transformation, their longing growing stronger.
"Your Highness, Chu Qingtian seems dissatisfied with your actions. I'm afraid..." Yue appeared in Xue Yuheng's bathroom, where the boy was taking a bath.
Xue Yuheng didn't dare stay out overnight. After helping Baise evolve her Martial Soul, he'd returned to the double suite he shared with Xiao Xiao.
Their bedrooms were separated only by the passage through the living room.
This was also a habit Xue Yuheng had developed. Ever since Xiao Xiao's Martial Soul had evolved to God Level, ordinary meditation was no longer effective for her, unlike for those with Quasi-God-Level Martial Souls.
The Soul Power in the world's vital energy was too mixed. God-Level Martial Souls clearly needed energy of a higher grade.
Xue Yuheng knew that Snow Empress, who was currently traveling the continent, was a natural-born spirit of ice and snow. Her ability to filter the world's vital energy was beyond anything a human could match.
Xiao Xiao was different. She could only raise her Soul Power Level normally by cultivating with Xue Yuheng and using the Power of Creation to aid her cultivation.
Sometimes, being too powerful wasn't necessarily a good thing.
Xue Yuheng never underestimated anyone. Even though Chu Qingtian was only a Soul King, afterward, he still sent the last Soul Saint in the Moon Shadow Squad to follow him.
Sometimes, all it took was a fool having a sudden flash of inspiration.
"Shrek and we have only just begun to build trust. As long as what Chu Qingtian does during this period doesn't cross the line of safety, let him be."
Xue Yuheng naturally wasn't going to lecture some little Soul King over idle gossip. It would be beneath him.
"Yes." Yue understood Prince Gan's temperament. She was only making her usual report.
Xue Yuheng stood up from the bathtub and said calmly, "I think I left my towel outside."
Yue Xiaoyu glanced at him and hurriedly replied, "I'll get it."
Xue Yuheng watched Yue Xiaoyu's increasingly alluring back as it disappeared, her body nourished by his Power of Creation, and felt his heart stir.
These Seven Fairies were ripe for the picking. He just had to pluck them.
Unfortunately, an invisible hand of Heaven's Law held him down, keeping Xue Yuheng from daring to cross the line.
After being tempered by the Thirty-Three Heavens, the women of the Moon Shadow Squad had not only grown more beautiful, but each had also made a breakthrough in strength.
Even the weakest among them had reached level seventy-nine as a Soul Saint, only one step away from becoming a Soul Douluo. Yue and Ying believed that once every member became a Soul Douluo or stronger, their Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill would be more than a match for a Limit Douluo.
In other words, Xue Yuheng didn't have much time left to leave Douluo Continent.
With a trump card at the level of a Limit Douluo, one could run rampant in Douluo II.
However, this world seemed a little different from the original story.
Xue Yuheng wondered to himself: Ancient Ice God... I hope you're not a BOSS.
Otherwise... could you withstand the power of a genius girl army?
Over the next two days, Xue Yuheng helped Mu Yue, Su Tong, and Hua Yao complete their Martial Soul evolutions.
Compared with Baise, their talents were a little lacking. Like Zhang Lexuan, they were at the [Mediocre Talent] level.
That meant they had Half-God-Level Martial Souls.
Xue Yuheng didn't want to give them Mandarin Duck Pot Immortal Herbs to improve their talents like he had Ning Tian. Half-God Level was enough to contend with Limit Douluos.
Mu Yue's Fine Gold Martial Soul evolved into a Gold Elemental Envoy, granting her the attribute of Ultimate Gold; Su Tong's Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul evolved into an Ice and Snow Queen, granting her the attribute of Ultimate Ice; Hua Yao's Lotus Martial Soul evolved into a Wood Elemental Envoy, granting her the attribute of Ultimate Wood.
They all broke through to level sixty and became Soul Emperors. Once they obtained Soul Rings, the leftover energy from the natural treasures would let them break through a few more levels.
With that, Xue Yuheng had finished transforming this generation's Shrek Seven Devils. They now possessed four Half-God-Level Martial Souls and two Quasi-God-Level Martial Souls.
They were unquestionably a team of genius girls who stood above the rest of the continent.
Over the past three days, Chu Qingtian had done nothing foolish beyond his usual complaints and flights of self-indulgent imagination.
He'd simply changed his approach, abandoning the "aloof heartthrob" image he'd never managed to establish for a "goofball" one. His true nature had come out, so to speak.
Although the five girls still treated him like an idiot.
Comparing one man to another was the truly frightening thing.
Xue Yuheng's family background, personality, abilities, and talent were each enough to crush Chu Qingtian a hundred times over, to say nothing of his potential.
A thirteen-level Soul Master at the age of six (seven) was impossible to find on the continent, even with a lantern.
Shrek Academy's victory in this tournament was already a foregone conclusion.
So Xue Yuheng couldn't be bothered to worry about it. The knockout rounds were in full swing, and one day in the middle of the tournament, he took Xiao Xiao to the eastern part of the city.
Compared with the center of Heaven Dou City, the area looked rather run-down.
"Xiao Xue, Ning Tian wanted to take me shopping for a new dress today... I turned her down for you." Xiao Xiao hugged Xue Yuheng's arm as she said it on purpose.
Xue Yuheng smiled and shook his head. "I'll buy one for you when we get back tonight."
"You also have to come with me to get my nails done." Xiao Xiao's eyes shifted as she added.
Xue Yuheng nodded. He agreed to whatever the little girl wanted.
At seven years old and nearly one and a half meters tall, she could get her nails done, couldn't she?
"Xiao Xue, where are we going?"
Xue Yuheng paused.
"The Tang Sect."
