The Asura Arena Begins to Show Itself

Gu Yue Na sighed, feeling a mix of relief and loss.

Zhang Lexuan had been gifted the Lovesick Heartbreak Red and the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng by Herta.

If she could truly absorb them, given that her soul power was currently stuck at level 80, she would likely charge straight through to become a Titled Douluo.

"Little Silver Dragon, this is what suits you best—the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, it's great for the skin!"

Gu Yue Na received her immortal herb, seemingly ignoring Herta's form of address.

Or perhaps she was pretending not to hear it, assuming Herta already knew her true identity?

If that were the case, wouldn't she just be a little clown dragon?

"Old Gu's skin is already good enough!"

Bai Mo reached out a finger and traced it across the back of Gu Yue Na's hand.

Gu Yue Na gave Bai Mo a complicated look before speaking to Herta.

"Many thanks. My clan possesses secret techniques to assist with absorption, so I shall not disturb you all any further!"

With that, Gu Yue Na straightened up and, taking the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone that was crying out for help, teleported out of the training room.

Bai Mo opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Never mind the Little Silver Dragon. Little Moon, try to see if you can absorb the Lovesick Heartbreak Red."

"Little ghost Bai, I can help you keep this hidden, but what about afterwards? Do you truly view her as a tool to be used, or as a good friend?"

Herta asked with a playful, mocking tone.

"Sigh~"

Bai Mo had originally wanted to go out and check on her, but since Zhang Lexuan had already laid her cards on the table, it would be rather heartless of him to leave now.

In the end, he could only sigh helplessly.

The Little Auspicious Beast curled its entire body up, feeling that this place was a bit too terrifying for a beast! Lord, where have you gone!

Zhang Lexuan let her hair fall in front of her face and said softly.

"I'm sorry, I've made things difficult for you. You can..."

Stop it, sister! I beg of you! Just drip your blood already! Watching Zhang Lexuan suddenly turn emo, Bai Mo felt a headache coming on.

"Sister Lexuan! Drip your blood, I... I really like you!"

This was a lie! Bai Mo had originally only been interested in her Moon martial soul, and his subsequent actions against Shrek Academy were merely out of a commoner's pity and calculations regarding the appearance of the Fairy Boat.

But since she had already snatched the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, even if she couldn't pluck it, it proved she liked him!

Bai Mo couldn't exactly push her away, could he?

Zhang Lexuan bit her lip, gave a soft hum, and let a drop of fresh blood fall from her fingertip onto the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

Her mind was filled with the memory of Herta saying that he was the one coming to save people, and the hammer she had seen above Shrek Academy at the Minghuo Chamber of Commerce.

She didn't know who that Heavenly General was, but surely only Bai Mo could have mobilized a Heavenly General for her sake!

(You've got it wrong, sister! I was mostly just trying to get revenge for Tingyun back then!)

Zhang Lexuan gently plucked the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, her gaze softening as she looked at Bai Mo, saying nothing.

He is still young; I can wait.

She thought to herself.

"Sister Lexuan, I might, perhaps, be a bit of a playboy~"

Bai Mo looked at Zhang Lexuan, who had successfully plucked the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

Zhang Lexuan shook her head and said nothing, or perhaps this woman, who had always been so gentle, was already too shy to speak.

"Everyone, sit down! Lady Huang Quan will now assist you in refining the medicinal power of the immortal herbs!"

"I trouble you, Lady Herta."

Huang Quan responded, her hand brushing against her blade—she still retained her old habits after all.

Everyone felt a vast, immense power emanate from Huang Quan, descending into each of their bodies respectively.

Seeing this, the various immortal herbs directly sacrificed themselves to their respective owners.

Under Huang Quan's suppression, the fluctuations generated by the sacrifice of the many immortal herbs could not even leave the training room.

They were firmly locked within the room by Huang Quan.

Following this, Bai Mo and the women calmed their minds, slowly absorbing the soul power and medicinal essence of the immortal herbs as it gradually flowed into their bodies.

Herta calculated the data on the immortal herb absorption in real-time; she intended to let these little ones test out her Symbiotic Contract.

The Symbiotic Contract was an idea Herta had conceived after hearing Bai Mo mention the concept of Soul Spirits.

Simply put, it was similar to a Soul Spirit.

The differences were:

First, the soul beasts used to sign a Symbiotic Contract would generally only be standard soul beasts produced within the Simulated Universe, possessing only instinct and no soul.

Secondly, Symbiotic Soul Beasts have a chance to develop souls during their companionship with soul masters. If a soul beast that has developed a soul dies, the soul master will lose at least 30 levels of soul power. Furthermore, after forming a new contract with a soul beast, the Simulated Universe will extract 20% of the soul master's cultivated soul power as punishment.

Thirdly, a soul beast can accompany a soul master all the way to the Titled Douluo stage, meaning one soul beast can provide a soul master with up to nine soul rings.

Of course, Ms. Black Tower naturally wouldn't allow the symbiotic immortal herbs of the others to develop souls, to avoid future trouble.

Besides, this contract was originally a means for Bai Mo to control Gu Yue Na in the future.

Gu Yue Na returned to Minghuo Academy in a daze.

She didn't even know why she still had to come back here.

Was she waiting for someone to explain it to her?

Gu Yue Na walked along the road in a trance.

"Hey! Senior, do you know where to apply for the Green Trial Tower?"

Wang Dong had just passed the White Trial Tower, but she naturally didn't want to just be the lowest-level student!

However, the Green Trial Tower required an application, so Wang Dong had to look for a nearby teacher.

Just then, as if controlled by a mysterious force, she suddenly turned her head and saw a beautiful girl with silver hair and white clothes.

"I don't know."

Gu Yue Na was very annoyed, and for some reason, seeing this kid asking for directions made her even more annoyed.

"Don't tell me Senior hasn't even passed the White Trial Tower? Then how did Senior get admitted?"

Wang Dong was shocked.

"None of your business!"

Gu Yue Na glanced at Wang Dong with disgust and turned to head towards the Minghuo Chamber of Commerce, which she had just left.

"Humans are disgusting, I feel uncomfortable just looking at them, they're nothing like Xiao Bai!"

She planned to give Bai Mo another chance. If Bai Mo couldn't satisfy her.

Hmph!

Gu Yue Na planned to capture him directly and take him back to the Lake of Life to be a seed!

Ning Tian: 8 years old, Level 34 Soul Elder, Yellow Red Red

Wu Feng: 8 years old, Level 30 Soul Elder, Yellow Red Red

Zhang Lexuan: Level 89 Soul Douluo, Yellow Yellow Purple Purple Black Black Black Red

Jiang Nannan: 14 years old, Level 47 Soul Ancestor, Yellow Yellow Purple Red

Nan Qiuchiu: 8 years old, Level 29 Soul Grand Master, Yellow Red

Wu Qingyao: Level 93 Titled Douluo, Yellow Yellow Purple Purple Black Black Black Red

Tingyun: Level 81

Bai Mo: 8 years old, Level 25 Soul Grand Master, Yellow Purple

Gu Qiu'er: 6 years old, Level 25 Soul Grand Master, Red Red

Fine, fine, fine! Bai Mo was so angry he laughed. A hundred-thousand-year immortal herb had only raised him by one and a half levels, which was not as good as the Emperor Scepter raising his soul power for two months.

If it weren't for his pile of good items, he probably wouldn't even be able to defeat Gu Qiu'er, who was only 6 years old!

What is this world!

The most useful immortal herb for Bai Mo on the Douluo Continent was the Golden Tree!

Wu Feng raised her small head and looked at Bai Mo with a disdainful pout.

Bai Mo: ...

"Alright, kid Bai, I've captured a divine soul within your Emperor Scepter. Help me go in and get rid of it!"

Little Black Tower waved its hand, stopping everyone's joy, and said weakly.

"Take Sister Quan with us too!"

Bai Mo waved his big hand! It was time for the enemy to taste the Past Blade Light!
