After saying that, Luo Can Du Bisou.
This time, Du Bisou clearly saw that in that instant, a faint layer of golden dragon scales covered Luo Can's hands.
The fist was thrown, but silently.
But the surrounding air solidified and distorted under this punch, finally shattering like glass to reveal the dark void behind it.
"My martial soul has evolved into the ' Golden Dragon Emperor '." Luo Can withdrew his fist, and the golden dragon scales slowly disappeared. "Moreover, they have completely merged with me. Therefore, every move I make contains the power of my Martial Soul Avatar, and... carries a trace of ' Law of Power '."
"You've already grasped the rules?" Du Bisou asked in surprise.
Even for Limit Douluo, being able to vaguely sense the existence of rules is already one in ten thousand. Yet Luo Can, having only recently broken through, is already able to wield the power of rules?
"Hmm." Luo Can nodded calmly. "After all, my martial soul possesses the Ultimate Strength attribute. During my seclusion, I've gained a rough understanding of the Law of Power. However, it's still very superficial; I can only be considered an entry-level practitioner."
Du Bisou remained silent.
He looked at Luo Can, his eyes initially filled with shock, which then transformed into an even more fervent fighting spirit. He took a deep breath, his body swelled up again, and golden light erupted from within him.
" Valley Master, would you mind taking my ninth Soul Skill?"
"Please." Luo Can smiled slightly and stood with his hands behind his back.
The next moment, Du Bisou's figure transformed into a green giant a hundred meters tall. The giant had a ferocious face, like an evil god from ancient times, exuding a terrifying pressure. At the same time, the scarlet Ninth Spirit Ring under his feet suddenly lit up!
"Ninth Soul Skill-- "
The golden giant roared to the sky, his voice shaking the heavens and earth:
" Yama's Yellow Springs Descent!"
The giant raised his hands and slowly clapped them towards Luo Can's location.
An aura of death, decay, and annihilation spread like a tide, the sky darkened, the sunlight was swallowed by an invisible force, and the whole world seemed to fall into twilight.
A purple palm print, obscuring the sky, condensed between the giant's two palms. A ghostly light flowed across the surface of the palm print, and upon closer inspection, it seemed as if countless wronged souls were struggling within that light. The palm print slowly descended, and everything in its path withered.
This was Du Bisou's strongest attack, embodying his lifelong understanding of "death." Even Limit Douluo of the same level would not dare to take this attack head-on.
Luo Can remained standing in the same spot, without moving an inch.
He watched the slowly descending purple palm print, then raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and gently clenched them against the palm print.
"Buzz--"
The purple palm print that blotted out the sky stopped in mid-air, unable to fall. No matter how much Du Bisou Bisi urged his soul power and burned his blood and qi, the palm print remained motionless, as if it were nailed to the void.
Not only the palm print, but even the golden giant transformed from Du Bisou was bound by an invisible force and unable to move.
As Limit Douluo, Du Bisou quickly noticed the anomaly. "This is... a domain!"
"Hmm." Luo Can nodded, released his hand, turned his palm into a finger, and gently touched the purple palm print.
Smack
The terrifying palm print, powerful enough to Destruction a city, collapsed and disintegrated into the air under this single finger strike.
"After my domain evolved, I can briefly 'write' the trajectory of fate when I activate it," Luo Can explained calmly. "Just now, I only wrote the fact that 'your attack cannot land,' so it couldn't land."
"Hiss--"
Three gasps of astonishment rang out simultaneously.
Qian Renxue, Ju Zi, and Du Bisi stared at Luo Can in Du Bisou.
"This... this doesn't mean..." Qian Renxue's voice trembled slightly, "... that all attacks are ineffective against my husband?"
"Not really," Luo Can shook his head. "In this process, I also need to use the power of my External Soul Bone, the ' Golden Dragon Pupils, ' for it to work. Moreover, this ability to 'write destiny' is extremely taxing; with my current mental strength, I can only use it a maximum of ten times a day."
He paused, then continued explaining:
"Moreover, my Fate-Defying Domain is more geared towards support, providing the team with soul power and Life Force recovery, giving me unlimited stamina. However, after its evolution, it does indeed have another effect..."
He looked at the three of them and said, word by word, "Improve their aptitude and evolve their martial souls."
The three fell silent again.
After a long while, Du Bisou withdrew his martial spirit and reverted to human form. He gave a bitter smile, "I lost."
In previous battles, he could still hold his own against Luo Can thanks to the Golden Awakening of his Body Martial Soul. But now, the two are no longer on the same level.
Luo Can's control over power and his understanding of the rules are both superior to his; it's not a difference in level, but a difference in essence.
"You've only recently broken through; you still have a lot of room to grow." Luo Can patted Du Bisou on the shoulder. "When you've grasped the power of rules, we'll fight again."
"Yes." Du Bisou nodded emphatically, his fighting spirit rekindled in his eyes.
Luo Can smiled slightly and said nothing more. He turned around, took Qian Renxue and Ju Zi's hands, and left the wasteland, heading towards the Lake Heart Island.
Meanwhile, at the Fate Defying Pavilion's Mission Hall.
Three days have passed since the release of the new long-term mission – "Explore Unknown Areas and Draw Maps". At this moment, a large number of disciples have gathered in front of the work line, and discussions are rising and falling.
"Exploring unknown territories? This mission is rather interesting."
"The rewards are very generous! Depending on the exploration area and the level of danger, the highest reward can be 50,000 Contribution Point!"
"Fifty thousand?! That must be an incredibly dangerous place!"
"What's there to be afraid of? Let's team up! We have plenty of experts in our Outer Pavilion. Senior Brother Yang Gang is said to have already broken through to the High-Rank Spirit King, and Senior Brother Li Qing is also preparing to hunt for his Fifth Spirit Ring..."
From the crowd, a burly young man with a resolute face stepped out. He was nearly two meters tall, with well-developed muscles, and walked with an air of calm and composure. He was none other than Yang Gang, the well-known "model worker" in the Outer Pavilion.
He walked to the counter and said to the butler, "I accept the mission to explore an unknown area, team of five."
The deacon looked up at him, nodded, and asked, " Yang Gang, which direction do you want to explore?"
Yang Gang took out a simple map from his pocket, unfolded it on the counter, and pointed to a blank area. "This place is near the edge of the Far North. By the way... pick up some quests to capture ice-type Spirit Beast alive."
The deacon took the map, looked at it, noted down the information, and then handed him a palm-sized jade tablet. "This is Recording Jade Slip. It can be used to record exploration routes and important discoveries. Be careful, retreat immediately if you encounter danger, and don't be reckless."
"Understood." Yang Gang took the jade token and turned to leave.
Soon, he found four teammates: two newly-broken Spirit King and two High-Rank Soul Ancestor, all elites from the Outer Pavilion. The five of them prepared warming Soul Tool, cold-weather clothing, dry food and medicine, and exchanged their Contribution Point for a batch of level 5 attack Soul Tool before setting off.
Inside Wooden House on Lake Heart Island.
Luo Can had just finished his early morning Fishing and was sitting around the table with Qian Renxue and Ju Zi, drinking tea.
"Husband, are you... now considered Demigod?" Qian Renxue took a sip of tea and asked softly.
Luo Can shook his head and put down his teacup. "Not yet. I've only just begun to grasp the rules; I'm still a long way from being a true Demigod, but..."
He paused, a deep glint flashing in his eyes:
"To enter that realm, one must possess a ' Divine Position '."
" Divine Position?" Ju Zi's eyes lit up. She put down her teacup, leaned closer, and asked, " A-Can, are you preparing to become a god?"
"Hmm." Luo Can nodded. "To become a god, one needs to Godhood Inheritance or Self-Created Divine Position. I now have two choices: one is to find the inheritance of an existing god, such as the Sea God or the Asura God; the other is to Self-Created Divine Position and forge my own path."
"Which path do you plan to choose?" Qian Renxue asked, her eyes filled with concern.
Luo Can smiled and reached out to take her hand, "I want to try Self-Created Divine Position. But before that, there are some things to do."
He looked at Qian Renxue: "How's the Fate Defying Pavilion doing lately?"
Qian Renxue took out a report from her bosom and handed it to Luo Can: "This is the situation over the past two weeks. The mission to capture Spirit Beast alive is very popular. We've already received more than thirty hundred -Hundred-Year Soul Beast, more than a dozen thousand-year-old Spirit Beast, and three ten- Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast. The number of disciples exchanging for high-level resources is also increasing."
"For example, this disciple named Yang Gang exchanged for another Black-Grade Body Refining Pill, and Li Qing also exchanged for a piece of Ten-Thousand Year Whale Rubber. They are both preparing to absorb the next Spirit Ring."
Luo Can quickly glanced through the report and nodded, "Not bad. The more disciples like this, the better."
Qian Renxue continued, "I also added some missions to explore new areas in the Mission Hall. Some of these places haven't even been set foot in the Spirit Hall, such as the depths of the Far North, the Panlong Forest of the Star Luo Empire, and some ancient ruins recorded in ancient texts..."
"Very good." Luo Can put down the report, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes. "Those disciples with over 10,000 Contribution Point can be considered for the Inner Pavilion Disciple assessment. Once they pass, we will allocate the maximum resources to them, striving to help them advance at least one major realm within three years."
Ju Zi looked at Luo Can in surprise. "A major cultivation level every three years? A-Can, I'm afraid there's no one else in this world who would dare to say that."
Luo Can smiled, a smile brimming with absolute confidence:
"We have ample resources and the best training environment. As long as they are willing to work hard, becoming Spirit King... is just the beginning."
He stood up, walked to the window, looked at the morning light shimmering on the distant lake, and slowly said:
"By the way, after this Inner Pavilion assessment, let's start a new round of recruitment. Three hundred disciples... that's still too few."
"Okay." Qian Renxue nodded. "I will talk to Chief Ye."
