My Martial Soul is My Fiancée in Douluo

Meng Xiaonai: "Awoo~ so bouncy!"

Zheng Li's mouth twitched. Is being "so bouncy" a good thing? Why did he see that the Night Glow Beast's defense was actually quite impressive?

And was this what one would call "troublesome"?

Come to think of it, Meng Xiaonai... what on earth are you "awoo-ing" for!

Seeing that it had finally managed to strike the Night Glow Beast, the Multi-tailed Thorn Wolf didn't care that they were in the middle of a battle and let out an excited howl...

Chapter 51, Reshaping the Physical Body

"Chirp!"

The Night Glow Beast, launched into the air, flapped its wings to stabilize itself and hovered in mid-air, letting out a cry tinged with indignation.

It then looked at the foolishly howling Multi-tailed Thorn Wolf with a gaze full of mockery: You silly wolf! You must have forgotten that I can fly! Sigh... fighting this idiot is really beneath me. Forget it, let's end this!

Chirp, chirp!

After its cry, the pale golden wings on its back instantly erupted with a golden halo. Zheng Li could clearly see complex golden patterns appearing on every slightly translucent feather!

The original white ball was rendered into a golden orb at this moment...

In the next instant, clusters of dazzling golden light condensed—there were at least a hundred of them! Then, with a flap of its wings, the Night Glow Beast unleashed the barrage of light clusters toward the Multi-tailed Thorn Wolf.

Sensing the threat, the Multi-tailed Thorn Wolf froze, then launched a counterattack. With a long howl, it channeled its Spirit Power into the thorns on its back. With a shake of its lupine body, the thorns detached and met the sky full of light clusters!

Neither beast ceased its movements.

After firing the light clusters, the Night Glow Beast suddenly transformed into a streak of golden light, streaking toward the Multi-tailed Thorn Wolf like a shooting star!

Meanwhile, under the cover of its thorns, the Multi-tailed Thorn Wolf leaped into the air, baring its sharp fangs!

The thorns and light clusters collided, continuously emitting thunderous roars.

Amidst the roar, the body of the diving Night Glow Beast suddenly burst into dazzling light.

Zheng Li frowned: "I have a bad feeling about this..."

Seeing this, the Multi-tailed Thorn Wolf's body swayed. After a panicked howl, it actually turned and dropped toward the ground, seemingly trying to flee.

Zheng Li seemed to realize something and hurriedly retreated with all his might.

The Multi-tailed Thorn Wolf was ultimately much slower and less agile than the Night Glow Beast. The next moment, the glowing body of the Night Glow Beast slammed into the Multi-tailed Thorn Wolf, and then the Night Glow Beast exploded...

A deafening sound erupted, and the dazzling golden radiance swallowed the Multi-tailed Thorn Wolf and everything in the vicinity.

"What kind of ability is that?" Zheng Li, having retreated outside the blast radius, wore a look of shock. Self-destruction? He didn't believe the Night Glow Beast had truly died from self-destruction.

Could it be similar to... an Ultra Bomb?

A moment later, the golden light faded. Zheng Li looked at the distant crater, the devastated ground, the vanished trees, grass, and bushes, as well as the body of the Multi-tailed Thorn Wolf... and was even more astonished.

What immense power!

Just then, a "chirp" sound came. The Night Glow Beast flew up from the crater, wobbling in the middle, nearly falling back down. Its golden eyes were extremely listless, and furthermore...

"It lost a pair of wings?" Zheng Li, observing from afar, was very surprised.

Was the explosion just now unleashed at the cost of a pair of wings?

The sound of the explosion might attract other Spirit Beasts, so the Night Glow Beast would naturally want to escape quickly. It was extremely weak right now; even a hundred-year Spirit Beast could potentially finish it off.

It was a two-thousand-year Spirit Beast, and so was the Multi-tailed Thorn Wolf. Although its bloodline was much higher, their cultivation years were similar, so it wasn't easy to kill the Multi-tailed Thorn Wolf with ordinary means. Fearing the wolf would run away if it couldn't win, it had used its ultimate move!

The Night Glow Beast was feeling quite smug inside: Dare to provoke me! Are you happy to be dead now?

However, the next second it couldn't feel smug anymore, its golden eyes filled with astonishment.

Just a moment ago, Zheng Li had activated his Light Sword spirit skill!

How could he let such a perfect opportunity to exploit the weakened Night Glow Beast pass by?

Taking advantage of a person—no, a beast—in danger was truly a bit regrettable.

But Zheng Li also wanted to live. It wasn't certain that the beast would die, because the Valley of Love and Emotion didn't say that failing a Truth or Dare would result in death. Of course, dying during the adventure was one's own business.

However, if the final Truth or Dare failed, even if one wasn't killed and was brought back by the Valley of Love and Emotion, the outcome would certainly not be good.

If not killed, perhaps one would be trapped? Or forced to undergo other adventures with even higher mortality rates?

Facing Zheng Li's sneak attack, the Night Glow Beast flapped its wings, wanting to leave, but its speed had dropped to such a low level that it was directly surrounded by the Light Swords from multiple angles.

In the midst of battle, Zheng Li stepped with light, agile movements, quickly approaching the Night Glow Beast. Halfway there, a scorching light bloomed from his brow. After Meng Xiaonai emerged, she grabbed Zheng Li's hands and, with a spin, threw him toward the Night Glow Beast!

At the same time, Meng Xiaonai moved the golden ring in front of her and began to condense a massive Light Sword.

Even if the Night Glow Beast was weak, it would be difficult to kill it with just the Light Swords. Zheng Li's task was to buy time for Meng Xiaonai. Mid-flight, his right hand bloomed with golden light, beginning to condense a semi-circular barrier.

Conversely, facing the Light Sword spirit skill, the Night Glow Beast moved its only remaining wing forward to block its front, using the wing as a shield, and began to spin rapidly!

The moment it saw Zheng Li, its eyes were filled with anger, disgust, and even a hint of grievance.

Zheng Li saw it clearly, and a flash of hesitation crossed his heart, but he gritted his teeth and slammed the semi-circular barrier he had condensed onto the Night Glow Beast, which was already spinning rapidly and deflecting all the Light Swords.

He succeeded, but this barrier wasn't a spirit skill; Zheng Li could only use all his Spirit Power to maintain it so it wouldn't be shattered by the frenzied Night Glow Beast!

It truly lived up to being a two-thousand-year Spirit Beast; even in its current weakened state, its strength was not the least bit inferior.

After holding on for nearly ten seconds, Zheng Li was reaching his limit. It was at this moment that Meng Xiaonai called out from a distance: "Xiao Li, dodge!"

Zheng Li immediately flashed to the side.

The massive Light Sword descended the very next moment! Without Zheng Li's maintenance, the protective barrier shattered instantly.

Facing a life-threatening situation, the natural instinct of the Night Glow Beast was to flee, but the moment the barrier broke, the massive Light Sword landed squarely upon it!

This time, the "elasticity" of the Night Glow Beast failed to take effect; the massive Light Sword was incredibly sharp.

The body of the Night Glow Beast was instantly cleaved in two, blood splattering everywhere! To Zheng Li's surprise, the blood of the Night Glow Beast actually carried a faint golden hue.

Since Meng Xiaonai was his Martial Soul, he could absorb the spirit ring regardless of whether he or Meng Xiaonai had dealt the killing blow.

Meng Xiaonai stepped forward to support Zheng Li, who had nearly exhausted his Spirit Power. In truth, Zheng Li still had some strength left, but he did not pull away.

Staring at the bisected corpse of the Night Glow Beast, a purple spirit ring drifted out. Zheng Li felt a wave of nausea, and Meng Xiaonai felt the same, though her reaction was less intense due to the nature of her Martial Soul.

"This is the first time I've taken a life since coming to the Douluo world..."

Meng Xiaonai squeezed Zheng Li's hand and said abruptly: "I killed it."

It was indeed her blade that had struck the blow.

Zheng Li shook his head but said nothing more. After a moment of silence, before he could speak, the voice of Pinghe rang out suddenly: "Truth or Dare passed! Returning!"

With a flash of gold and silver light, Zheng Li and Meng Xiaonai vanished simultaneously, along with the corpse and spirit ring of the Night Glow Beast.

As light and shadow flickered, the ground of the Transparent Space transformed into a massive hexagonal projection, with countless complex symbols flowing and shifting within it.

Wang Xin'er was sitting on the ground, bored. No longer bound by the bubble, she pouted and muttered: "So slow! Why haven't Zheng Li and Big Sister come out yet..."

No sooner had she finished speaking than two streaks of gold and silver light flashed, and Zheng Li and Meng Xiaonai appeared.

Wang Xin'er's eyes lit up, and she said with pleasant surprise: "You're finally out!"

Zheng Li nodded in response, and Meng Xiaonai gave a soft "Mn."

Seeing the two of them in low spirits, Wang Xin'er was just about to ask what happened when the voice of Pinghe spoke up: "Wang Xin'er."

"Hm? What is it? Didn't you say there were only three trials? You're a good valley, you can't lie to me!"

Hearing the voice of Pinghe call her name, Wang Xin'er immediately became vigilant.

The voice of Pinghe: "..."

It just wanted to ask, out of everyone, you little girl had the easiest time with these three trials, so why be so defensive?

"Aside from that matter, your reward is an increase of five levels of Spirit Power. Go."

After it finished speaking, Wang Xin'er vanished.

"Zheng Li, Meng Xiaonai, you two are quite unique. I hope you can keep moving forward. As for your rewards..."

The voice of Pinghe paused, seemingly hesitant, but Zheng Li spoke up at this moment: "Can you exchange our rewards to forge a physical body for Meng Xiaonai, so that she may become human?"

Why did he have Meng Xiaonai come out? This was his exact purpose. Otherwise, why would he have brought her out? He knew full well it carried risks.

Mn! Since Tang San and Dai Mubai could resurrect the mother of Huo Yuhao, perhaps the Valley of Love and Emotion could forge a physical body for Meng Xiaonai.

Zheng Li looked up, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Chapter 52, Zheng Li's Burden

"Hm?"

Meng Xiaonai looked at Zheng Li in confusion, as if asking why he had made such a decision without consulting her.

In truth, Zheng Li had harbored this intention ever since entering Shrek Academy.

Once he reached the peak of the hundredth level and became a god... or rather, as soon as he had the capability, he would forge a physical body for Meng Xiaonai.

Who could have known that events would unfold beyond his expectations, and in his eyes, the Valley of Love and Emotion presented an opportunity.

Sensing Meng Xiaonai's gaze, Zheng Li turned his head and smiled, not answering her unspoken question.

After a moment of silence, the voice of Pinghe sounded: "Giving up your rewards to forge a physical body for Meng Xiaonai—are you certain?"

"I am certain."

Zheng Li nodded without hesitation. Beside him, Meng Xiaonai did not object. She did not support it, as according to Zheng Li's future, regaining a physical body was only a matter of time; for now, growth should be the priority.

A physical body... Meng Xiaonai's eyes remained calm.

"Very well."

The voice of Pinghe agreed to Zheng Li's request.

Gold and silver light quietly enveloped Meng Xiaonai, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a massive Gold-Silver Egg, standing about ten centimeters taller than Meng Xiaonai herself.

Following this, streaks of colorful light appeared and flowed across the surface of the egg like tiny, chaotic, and disorderly tadpoles!

The Gold-Silver Egg looked undeniably beautiful.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Li could not help but reveal a joyful smile.

When he learned that Meng Xiaonai had died in a car accident while searching for him, he had been filled with immense self-reproach.

His only wish now was to return and see Meng Xiaonai brought back to life!

Right, resurrection—a Martial Soul form isn't truly alive, after all!

However, things never go quite as smoothly as one hopes...

"Huh?!"

Pinghe suddenly spoke up, his tone filled with astonishment.

Zheng Li was taken aback: "What is it?"

He had barely asked the question when he heard a crisp "crack."

The Gold-Silver Egg had developed a fissure...

Milky-white light seeped out from the crack, appearing completely out of place compared to the gold and silver halo.

Is this a success? Zheng Li felt a surge of joy, but he quickly realized that something must have gone wrong; otherwise, Pinghe wouldn't have sounded so surprised.

Zheng Li grew tense.

Then, the next moment, the egg shattered completely...

As Meng Xiaonai was revealed, Zheng Li keenly sensed that she was still a Martial Soul, unchanged in any way.

Zheng Li: "..."

"What's going on?"

Meng Xiaonai spoke first: "I'm not sure. At the beginning, I felt very warm, but then a milky-white light bloomed from within my body and shattered the Gold-Silver Egg from the inside out. I think... I was overstuffed?"

Overstuffed? What the hell, overstuffed? It was clearly a more tyrannical power rejecting the physical body he was trying to forge for Meng Xiaonai!

Come to think of it, what kind of power was that?
