Domain Skill! Tomorrow, I'll let you slaughter your way into the Martial Soul Hall!

Jiang Li flipped his wrist, and an Edict Talisman appeared out of thin air in his palm.

Edict Talisman.

This was one of the many treasures he had accumulated over his one hundred thousand years of signing in; it allowed one to borrow the laws of heaven and earth, invoking the power of nature for one's own use.

What Jiang Li intended to do at this moment was to borrow a wisp of the purest lunar origin from the sky and plant it within Xiao Wu's Moon Martial Soul.

The moment he crushed the talisman, the sky over the entire Star Dou Forest suddenly darkened.

Even though it was broad daylight, the sun above seemed to be obscured by an invisible force.

A bright, clear moon appeared out of nowhere in the firmament. Moonlight poured down like a waterfall, piercing through layers of tree canopies and converging into a silver-white pillar of light above the courtyard.

The pillar of light fell precisely onto the phantom of the moon behind Xiao Wu.

Then, Jiang Li flipped his hand again, and a tree seed appeared in his palm.

The seed was only the size of a thumb, glowing with a silver-white luster. Its surface was covered in fine patterns, with moonlight faintly flowing within them.

Looking closely, the seed contained a vitality so immense it was suffocating; it felt as if it would grow into a towering tree the instant it was buried in the soil.

Laurel Tree Seed.

It came from a sign-in reward Jiang Li had long since forgotten, said to be the remnant of a divine tree that had vanished into the river of history.

The laurel tree fed on moonlight and took heaven and earth as its roots; once it took hold, it could not be shaken, serving as the purest vessel for the power of Taiyin in the world.

Jiang Li flicked his finger, and the silver-white seed transformed into a streak of light, precisely sinking into the moon phantom behind Xiao Wu.

In an instant, the world changed color.

The phantom of the moon trembled violently, then began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A tree, entirely silver-white, broke through the center of the moon disc. Its roots plunged deep into the moonlight, and its branches extended and unfurled at an incredible speed.

Every leaf was the color of moonlight, and every branch flowed with soft silver radiance. The scent of osmanthus flowers drifted out, cold and distant, refreshing the heart and spirit.

Laurel.

This was the companion object of Xiao Wu's Moon Martial Soul, as well as the physical manifestation of lunar power condensed to its extreme.

Within Xiao Wu's body, beside her Soft Bone Charm Rabbit Martial Soul, a second martial soul space had fully formed.

It was a magnificent scene of a bright moon and a laurel tree reflecting each other's brilliance. It stood on equal footing with the previous martial soul, neither interfering with the other, yet producing a subtle resonance.

Twin Martial Souls!

And not just any ordinary Twin Martial Souls, but a top-tier pair of Twin Martial Souls, doubly reinforced by Jiang Li's Edict Talisman and the Laurel Tree Seed.

Xiao Wu's Soul Power Level surged once again at this moment.

Her soul power, which had just stabilized at level forty-five, climbed another notch the instant the laurel entered her body, finally settling steadily at a new height.

Although she had not yet broken through to level forty-six, it was within reach; with a period of consolidation, the breakthrough would be a natural progression.

However, the increase in level was the most insignificant gain.

What truly transformed Xiao Wu was the brand-new ability bestowed upon her by the laurel.

Her original first soul skill, Charm, had undergone a qualitative change under the reinforcement of the laurel.

That charm ability, which had been limited to a single target, had now expanded into a domain covering a vast area.

Xiao Wu closed her eyes, her thoughts shifting slightly.

A faint silver halo spread out from beneath her feet, covering a radius of several dozen zhang.

Within the halo, a bright moon hung high, and the phantom of a laurel tree flickered in the moonlight.

The scent of osmanthus flowers drifted in wisps, cold and enchanting.

Domain!

This was a power that only experts at the Title Douluo level were qualified to touch.

On the Douluo Continent, the significance of a domain was even greater than that of a soul ring.

A Title Douluo possessing a domain could easily crush an opponent of the same level who lacked one.

And Xiao Wu, a Soul Ancestor whose soul power was not yet level fifty, had unexpectedly acquired her own domain ahead of time!

The effect of the Laurel Domain was even more outrageously overbearing.

Enemies within the range of the domain would be relentlessly eroded by the laurel's power of illusion.

Trapped in endless hallucinations, everything before their eyes would become indistinguishable from reality.

Companions would turn into enemies, enemies into companions, the path ahead into an Abyss, and the retreat into a smooth road...

Soul masters with weaker mental strength might even lose the ability to distinguish friend from foe on the spot, turning their blades against their own comrades.

This was more than ten or a hundred times more overbearing than Xiao Wu's original Charm soul skill.

In group battles, this single domain could determine the outcome of the entire fight.

Furthermore, the Laurel Domain had a hidden characteristic: under the moonlight, the effects of the domain would double.

If fighting at night, with Xiao Wu activating Moon Stealth and the Laurel Domain simultaneously, she would be the most terrifying ghost on the battlefield.

The enemy would likely be wiped out by their own hands in a hallucination before they could even catch a glimpse of her shadow.

From this moment on, Xiao Wu's combat system had undergone a complete transformation.

The Soft Bone Charm Rabbit granted her the ability for close-quarters grappling and her signature soft techniques, the Moon Martial Soul provided her with ultimate stealth and a comprehensive boost to her physical attributes, while the Laurel Domain bestowed upon her large-scale crowd control and battlefield dominance.

The three fused perfectly within one person, inseparable and mutually reinforcing.

Even some Spirit Douluos would have to weigh whether they could survive the first wave of a sneak attack if they encountered such a Xiao Wu at night!

Feeling the power within her body, Xiao Wu finally understood the true terror of Jiang Li.

He was like a towering mountain spanning between heaven and earth; one could only see the mist swirling at the foot of the mountain, but could never see the scenery at the peak.

Her father was truly worthy of being an existence capable of resurrection at will, and one whom all the terrifying soul beasts of the Star Dou Forest referred to as a taboo!

"Papa."

Xiao Wu raised her head to look at Jiang Li, her eyes flowing with moonlight, filled with earnestness and determination.

"Do I need to undergo training now, and then go help Mom take revenge?"

Xiao Wu looked with burning eyes toward the tightly shut stone door in the courtyard.

Just a short while ago, she had seen with her own eyes Jiang Li push open that stone door, revealing a glimpse of the Abyss for a fleeting moment.

Although that scene lasted only a brief instant, it had left an incredibly deep impression on her mind.

The aura, so completely different from the Douluo Continent and filled with evil and destruction, made her soul tremble instinctively.

She had never seen what creatures from the Abyss looked like, but the mere aura that leaked out for that split second was enough for her to understand that they were far more terrifying than any soul beast on the Douluo Continent.

If she could train inside there, she would surely become a powerhouse!

However, upon hearing Xiao Wu's words, Jiang Li's lips curled slightly, revealing a playful smile.

"Training?"

"Did you misunderstand something?"

Xiao Wu was stunned, blinking her eyes.

"If it takes you a year or a year and a half of training just to beat Martial Soul Hall, then I might as well not bother living!"

"Tomorrow, I will have you storm Martial Soul Hall!"
