"Electrolux, I wish to cooperate with you, to take you as my master and learn your magic."

Zhong Kui did this in order to learn the magic of the Shengmo Continent, where Electrolux hailed from; Electrolux possessed both Necromancy and Light Magic.

Of course, he would not be freeloading off Electrolux, as he understood a bit about Electrolux's character—he was someone who loved and hated with equal intensity.

He was truly good to his own people. For instance, regarding Huo Yuhao, Electrolux treated him as his own disciple and was genuinely willing to help whenever needed, eventually dying on the path to assisting Huo Yuhao.

It was a pity that Electrolux never saw through the true nature of Huo Yuhao until the very end. As a descendant of the Tang Clan, what kind of person was he really? There was no need to ask. And the education he received? Did that even need asking?

To put it bluntly, he was a person with feudalistic thoughts, completely lacking the character to repay those who had shown him kindness.

It could be said that meeting Huo Yuhao was Electrolux's greatest misfortune; a man who was so good to his own, so good to his disciple, ended up dying on the path to helping that very disciple.

As an enemy, Electrolux was a terrifying existence. In the Douluo Tang Clan universe, Electrolux could be considered a top-tier figure. Although the Shengmo Continent and the Douluo Continent seemed similar, the issue was that the top powerhouses of the Shengmo Continent held significantly more weight.

Electrolux, despite not yet having become a god, possessed divine consciousness and immense combat power, capable of creating super divine tools.

Furthermore, Electrolux did not fear even the gods of the Shengmo Continent who had manifested as laws, let alone these people who merely had higher cultivation realms.

The deities of the Douluo God Realm only possessed higher cultivation realms; they were not true gods, at least not in Zhong Kui's conception of the term.

"You wish to learn magic? However, I have been observing your curriculum during this time. You study Spirit Master knowledge every day, you must learn about Soul Tools, and you are also tasked with teaching students alchemy. You even have to carve out time to refine pills yourself to elevate your alchemy skills. Do you even have the time to learn magic?"

Electrolux voiced his curiosity at this moment. He could also sense that Zhong Kui held no malice toward him; it was likely that he needed his help, which was why he had taken him away from that youth, Huo Yuhao.

"I have my reasons. I wish to learn the magic of your world to become stronger, so that I may have better ways to deal with the enemies I will face in the future. Moreover, I will not let you work for nothing. I have a treasure that will not disappoint you. While I cannot help you resurrect, it can rapidly restore your soul."

Following this, Zhong Kui produced a peculiar object that looked like a plant.

It was a herbaceous plant, verdant from top to bottom. Its stems and leaves were crystal clear, with a texture as if meticulously carved from a piece of fine green jade.

The plant had seven-colored petals and bore only a single flower at its apex, composed of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet.

The flower shimmered with brilliant light, rotating slowly as it bloomed, the seven colors shifting and changing continuously, carrying an inherent, hazy, dreamlike quality.

The flower emitted a faint, exotic fragrance; when close, one could smell a subtle scent that had the effect of calming the mind and soothing the spirit.

"This thing looks like a plant, yet it is somewhat unlike one. However, I can feel that this item is a potent medicine for soul restoration. Where did you obtain it? What is the name of this heavenly treasure?"

"Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva!"

Indeed, this was the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva, a potent medicine for soul restoration in the world of Battle Through the Heavens.

The Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva originated from the cyan seven-colored flower. Once refined into liquid, it could rapidly restore a weak or dormant soul. In the early days, Xiao Yan endured humiliation to help the Nalan Clan purge poison in exchange for it, using it to awaken the withered and dormant Yao Lao, helping his soul return to the Dou Zong level.

Although it did not help Yao Lao recover to his peak Dou Zun level soul, the issue was that returning to the Dou Zong level was already formidable. One must know that in the Douluo Continent universe, the Dou Zong level was already considered to be at the strength of a God King.

The soul of the Battle Through the Heavens world—it was estimated that a Spirit Realm soul at the level of an eighth-grade alchemist could beat a God King realm soul of the Douluo Continent to a pulp.

Therefore, if Electrolux absorbed the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva, he should be able to restore his spiritual power, and it was even possible for him to elevate it to the level of a God King.

However, Zhong Kui could not be certain if Electrolux would reach God King-level spiritual power. After all, he did not know; the descriptions of Electrolux's spirit in the original work were not detailed enough, nor were they carefully depicted. It was only said that he was an existence of a very high level, even reaching the level of a god, but whether it was the God King level was never stated.

This Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva was something Zhong Kui had exchanged for via the System Shop. After all, he had long prepared to obtain Electrolux's help, so naturally, he had to prepare some good things, though the price of this item was truly exorbitant.

It was worthy of being an item capable of helping Yao Lao recover to the Dou Zong realm. The price for the soul-restoring item was ridiculously expensive.

But fortunately, through completing many tasks and earning more points, Zhong Kui had managed to offset the loss, though he had even less time to sleep and rest now.

However, he could also understand why Xiao Yan had chosen to endure humiliation back then to go to the Nalan Clan and help the pillar of the Nalan Clan—the old master of the Nalan family—who lacked integrity, to treat and purge his poison.

After all, this item was truly too precious, though Xiao Yan's character of being able to endure humiliation was also very important.

"This thing should not be something that exists in this world either; it should also come from the Dou Qi Continent. It seems the Dou Qi Continent is truly a more terrifying world than I imagined. I can feel that if I absorb this, my soul power will have a very strong breakthrough."

"If this thing can help you break through, then your soul must not have reached the God King realm yet, right?"

"God King realm, soul... Although I do not understand what kind of existence a God King is, judging from your conversation, it should be quite impressive. Then, what kind of existence is a God King in the Dou Qi Continent?"

Electrolux was very curious. A God King should be the standard for a powerhouse in this world, so how strong would that be if placed in the Dou Qi Continent?

"In the Dou Qi Continent, there are the realms of Dou Zhe, Dou Shi, Dou Grandmaster, Dou Ling, Dou King, Dou Emperor, Dou Zong, Dou Zun, Dou Saint, and Dou Di.

A Dou Zong is already considered a powerhouse, but in front of truly top-tier, first-class forces, they can only serve as gatekeepers.

They can only be a top force in the peripheral areas of the Dou Qi Continent. A God King is roughly at the level of a Dou Zong. I am not the one who said this; it is something many people have analyzed."
