Sword energy shot forth, tearing open Moon Willow Silk Fly's soft, vulnerable abdomen.
Blood splattered as it charged forward several meters before crashing to the ground.
Its massive body lay motionless on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, a purple Spirit Ring floated out and hovered in midair.
Ye Mu did not hesitate and immediately absorbed the Spirit Ring.
The absorption process was easy.
With his powerful physique as support, absorbing a Spirit Ring took almost no effort.
Moreover, his Wordless Heavenly Book seemed able to help him absorb Spirit Rings more quickly.
In merely the time it took to burn an incense stick, the Spirit Ring had been completely absorbed.
"A two-thousand-year Spirit Ring? This... is ridiculous."
After absorbing the Spirit Ring and learning all its information, he was truly stunned.
This Spirit Ring happened to be exactly two thousand years old.
A two-thousand-year Spirit Ring meant a more powerful soul skill.
He now understood the information regarding his second soul skill. It was called Willow Bank Morning Breeze and Setting Moon.
The name was rather poetic, but its power was genuinely impressive.
When the soul skill was activated, the pages of the Wordless Heavenly Book fluttered and scattered, transforming into dozens of pale-yellow willow branch phantoms.
The branches were supple and graceful, carrying a faint silver gleam. When they wrapped around an enemy's limbs like living things, they layered upon one another and formed a dark-green cocoon.
Fine white frost condensed wherever the branch phantoms touched skin, slowing the circulation of the enemy's Soul Power.
Faint dark-ink poetic verses would appear around the bound person's body, making their movements sluggish as though they had sunk into soft cotton.
It could also absorb the enemy's Soul Power to replenish his own at a fifty percent conversion rate.
It was a control-type support soul skill, and it could replenish his Soul Power as well.
Although it was not some powerful offensive soul skill, it matched what Ye Mu had wanted.
Now that he had absorbed his second Spirit Ring, his Soul Power had surged to level twenty-two.
That was quite a good improvement.
The Soul Power increase brought by a two-thousand-year Spirit Ring was indeed substantial, but he still needed to work even harder from here on.
Though he was level twenty-two, that truly amounted to nothing compared to the Protagonist Group.
At this stage, Tang San should already have level twenty-seven Soul Power.
As for Dai Mubai, there was no need to mention him. He had Soul Power in the thirties!
By that calculation, he would have no problem joining Shrek Academy at his current level.
It was just that compared to those heaven-defying geniuses of Douluo Continent, the gap was still too great.
"If only I had Twin Martial Souls. That would be amazing."
Ye Mu sighed.
Tang San had Twin Martial Souls, and Bibi Dong had Twin Martial Souls as well. They were innately far stronger than others.
With only one Martial Soul, the room for development seemed somewhat limited.
If he had Twin Martial Souls too, that would be absolutely awesome!
Unfortunately, he could only think about it for now.
The Wordless Heavenly Book emitted a faint golden glow, but he had no interest in examining it. Instead, he was already considering the third story.
Xiao Wu and Bibi Dong's stories had already been written.
The third story was next.
So, was there still any need to use aliases now?
There did not seem to be much need.
Because the women in the Book Review Section seemed to have already figured some things out.
They even knew that the stories he wrote were their stories, and that they concerned the future.
Otherwise, why would Xiao Wu and Bibi Dong be urging him to update?
In other words, the stories he wrote now were spoilers to them. They could learn about their futures in advance and make changes to avoid them.
Since that was the case, there was no need to use aliases.
He only needed to write the stories of their biographies and obtain Martial Soul Evolution progress.
He was still twenty percent away from completing the evolution, so he had to get it as soon as possible.
No sooner said than done. He had nothing to do right now, and he would have to wait until dawn before continuing his journey.
He simply opened the Wordless Heavenly Book and poured Soul Power into it. He had already thought of the content for the third story.
'The Story of Soft and Cute Kitty and Seven-Star Whore-Bug.'
[In the Star Luo Empire, there was a family called the Zhu Family. Within it lived an adorable girl named Zhu Zhuqing.] [Born into a wealthy family, but her fate had actually long been arranged by others.] [A political marriage was her destined fate, as well as the family's arrangement...] [Her childhood was not happy. Not only did she have to cultivate, she also had to deal with challenges and dangers from within the family.] [At the age of twelve, Zhu Zhuqing finally fled the Zhu Family in order to change her fate and gain freedom, preparing to find her fiancé.] [During her escape from the Zhu Family, she endured repeated pursuits and assassination attempts, falling into danger many times.] [After great difficulty, she arrived at Shilaike Academy and finally met her fiancé.] [Yet her fiancé did not recognize her immediately.] [Her fiancé was named Dai Mubai, the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire.] [Because he feared competing with his eldest brother and feared that his eldest brother would have him killed, he had fled long ago.] [After escaping the Star Luo Empire, he came to Shrek Academy. He had spent several years drifting around here and had even become a well-known figure in Suotuo City.] [Of course, it was not a good reputation, because he was a frequent and honored guest of Suotuo City's brothels!] [If he went a day without women, he felt uncomfortable all over. He was an old lecher himself; I would call him Seven-Star Whore-Bug, born to whore around...] [Although Dai Mubai recognized Zhu Zhuqing later on, his nature remained unchanged. He still often secretly slipped away behind Zhu Zhuqing's back to enjoy himself in Suotuo City. He had far too many old flames there.] [Because of the family marriage arrangement, and because their Martial Souls could fuse, Zhu Zhuqing ultimately had no choice but to forgive Dai Mubai during their time together, accept his past, and even play dumb whenever he secretly ran off to indulge himself...]
Ye Mu had ample Soul Power now, so he wrote quite a lot in one go.
It also ended at the Soul Master Tournament.
Leaving some suspense was the only way to make people urge him to update.
Urging updates was the key to rapidly increasing Martial Soul Evolution progress, so he had to pay close attention to it.
After finishing, he checked it over and was very satisfied.
He had not used aliases and had directly revealed the future.
Judging by the timeline, Zhu Zhuqing should have already escaped the Zhu Family and be on her way to Shrek Academy.
She would probably need some time before arriving.
So, after reading these stories, what reaction would she have? Or what choice would she make?
He was rather looking forward to it now.
Unfortunately, as the author, he was unable to reply in the Book Review Section. Otherwise, he truly wanted to ask Xiao Wu and Bibi Dong how they felt.
In any case, no one knew his identity!
For those holding Storybooks, waiting for updates every night had become a habit.
But after waiting for a long time tonight, they still did not see the Storybook update.
Just as someone thought there would be no update tonight, the Storybook lit up.
[Glazed Baby: 'Qianghu~ I knew staying up late to wait would bring a surprise. It updated!'] [Pink Rabbit: 'Soft and Cute Kitty and Seven-Star Whore-Bug? Could it be a transformed Spirit Beast?'] [Green Wild Goose: 'Why does it use that character for whore? This feels wrong!'] [Violent Fire Dragon: 'Holy shit! This content is explosive. It completely destroys my worldview!'] [Spider Emperor Douluo: 'Liu Erlong?'] [Violent Fire Dragon: 'Hehe~ The person Xiao Gang likes isn't you. Hahaha!'] [Spider Emperor Douluo: 'Heh~ Cousin brother and cousin sister, you two certainly know how to have fun.'] [Violent Fire Dragon: 'What nonsense are you talking about? Xiao Gang doesn't know my identity at all!'] [Spider Emperor Douluo: 'Naive, or foolish?'] [Glazed Baby: 'Big brother~ little sister~'] [Violent Fire Dragon: '...'] [Spider Emperor Douluo: '@Glazed Baby, you're excellent!']
