Divine Soul Core, Level 90!
The Pope Palace.
Qian Xunji is currently undergoing his Second Angel Trial in the Angel Holy Temple of the Worship Hall —to sever the desires in his heart and defeat the "Fallen Angel" formed from his own dark side!
For more than three months, he had been engaged in life-or-death hand-to-hand combat almost every day with that dark, shadowy figure who was of equal strength to him and even more ruthless and vicious.
Each time he was defeated in the sacred realm, he would regroup his faith and use the purest light to dispel the gloom and selfishness in his heart.
After so many days and nights of relentless effort, he finally reached the final step of this trial.
If he can completely defeat this "Fallen Angel," he can complete the Second Trial trial and receive the Divine Trial reward.
In this way, his Soul Power can be increased from level 88 to level 89!
Time flies, and ten days later...
As the first light of dawn appeared on the horizon, Yue Guan, along with Yu Changge and Bibi Dong, returned to Spirit City, weary from their journey.
It was on this very day that Qian Xunji perfectly digested the insights gained from the Second Angel Trial and successfully emerged from seclusion.
And the fluctuations of his Soul Power also rose to level eighty-nine as he had hoped.
As soon as Yu Changge and the other two returned to the city, they went straight to the Pope Palace without even having time to rest.
Upon hearing that Yue Guan had returned, the Gui Mei immediately put down his work, transformed into a black shadow, and silently entered the Pope Palace.
While waiting for Pope Qian Xunji to arrive in the main hall, Gui Mei turned her gaze to Yue Guan.
Then, he turned his head and looked at Yu Changge and Bibi Dong standing beside him. A strange light flashed in his eyes, and his voice was still as hoarse and deep as ever.
"Yue Guan, how did it feel to take these two little ones out for training for more than three months?"
"I can clearly feel that the Soul Power fluctuations emanating from the two of them have become much more robust, and their strength has obviously increased."
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan then briefly recounted his winning streak against opponents of higher levels in the Tiandou Great Soul Arena and his thrilling encounters in the Star Dou Forest.
When they heard that the two of them had absorbed the Fourth Soul Ring of ten thousand years beyond their level and miraculously obtained External Soul Bone overjoyed.
The Gui Mei was surprised.
Gui Mei silence.
The Gui Mei was relieved.
The Gui Mei's current thought process is exactly the same as Yue Guan's back then.
They seemed relieved, but in reality, they were at their wits' end.
There's no way around it; people are just different.
Some people are born lucky; they can find priceless treasures just by going out for a short while.
According to the Spirit Hall's Soul Hunting data, the probability of Soul Master obtaining Spirit Bone when hunting Spirit Beasts is only about one in a thousand.
When Yu Changge and Bibi Dong absorbed the fourth ring of the ten-thousand-year-old soul, they simultaneously unleashed External Soul Bone.
This kind of outrageous thing is unprecedented in the entire history of the Douluo Continent!
Of course, Yue Guan and Gui Mei didn't know that the pair of Holy Dragon Wing behind Yu Changge were not actually dropped by the ten-thousand-year-old Heavenly Dragon Horse after its death.
Those Dragon Wing evolved because they absorbed the same source energy as the ten-thousand-year-old Heavenly Dragon Horse.
So, in appearance, it looks somewhat like the Dragon Wing of the Heavenly Dragon Horse.
Just as everyone in the main hall was lost in their own thoughts, Qian Xunji arrived.
At this moment, the sacred aura emanating from Qian Xunji was even more restrained than before his seclusion.
When Bibi Dong saw Qian Xunji in, her eyes lit up, and she called out sweetly and affectionately, "Teacher."
Yu Changge also bowed slightly and politely greeted, "Uncle Qian."
Qian Xunji to the head seat and sat down, nodding with a smile.
"You've returned just in time. I've just successfully emerged from seclusion, and my Soul Power has broken through to level eighty-nine."
"Next, it's time to start condensing the Soul Core."
Then, Qian Xunji turned his gaze to Yue Guan, who was standing to the side. "Yue Guan, tell me in detail what has happened during this period of time."
A moment later.
After hearing Yue Guan's report, Qian Xunji was also surprised at first, and then fell silent.
However, unlike the final "relief" of Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
After Qian Xunji was overjoyed!
The stronger Bibi Dong and Yu Changge are, the luckier they are, the happier he is.
One is his direct disciple, the future successor of the Spirit Hall.
The other was a prodigy he highly regarded, possessing exceptional theoretical and practical skills.
To be honest, his initial agreement to let Yu Changge enter the Spirit Hall for further studies was just a passing interest, coupled with the fact that he couldn't refuse Yu Yuanzhen.
But he never expected that Yu Changge would bring him and the entire Spirit Hall so many huge surprises.
In other words, both children are still too young, and many things cannot be rushed.
Furthermore, Yu Changge's position within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is currently unclear.
Otherwise, Qian Xunji would be directly trying to match him up with Bibi Dong.
Qianxun could naturally see that her precious disciple definitely had feelings for that brat Yu Changge.
When the two of them stood together just now, the subtle look of dependence that Bibi Dong inadvertently revealed was absolutely unmistakable.
It's just that girls are shy and young, so they're too embarrassed to say it out loud.
"Hehe, youth is wonderful." Qian Xunji thought to herself, deciding to create more opportunities for them to be alone in the future.
Afterwards, Qian Xunji composed himself and led everyone to the secret chamber of the Pope Palace.
With the protection of the two Titled Douluo, Yue Guan and Gui Mei, Qian Xunji sat cross-legged and began to try to condense Soul Core within his body.
He had already successfully condensed a vortex within his body as a foundation, following Yu Changge's theory.
Furthermore, this time there were two powerful Titled Douluo protecting them.
Therefore, Qian Xunji's process of condensing his Soul Core this time can be described as very smooth, almost like water flowing into a channel.
A day and a night later.
A dazzling golden light erupted from the secret chamber, and an immense pressure instantly swept across the surroundings.
Soul Core, complete!
Sensing the golden crystal radiating terrifying energy within his body, Qian Xunji named it the "Holy Soul Core".
The moment the Holy Soul Core condensed and took shape, it caused a qualitative change.
Due to the compression and purification of the Soul Core, the Soul Power within Qian Xunji's body unexpectedly generated a massive energy feedback.
This pure energy broke through the shackles of level, allowing Qian Xunji's Soul Power to directly break through from level 89 to Ninetieth Rank!
Just as Yu Changge had said before.
When a Soul Master reaches a bottleneck in their Soul Power, they can condense a Soul Master Soul Core and use this energy to break through the previously insurmountable level barriers.
Qian Xunji stood up. "Haha! I Qian Xunji, am finally going to become Titled Douluo!"
P. S.: I've made some changes to the effect of Yu Changge's second Soul Skill, "Holy Dragon Radiance".
After use: Toughness, attack power, and defense power are increased by 100%, and the power of all Light Attribute Soul Skill is increased by 100%.
Before the change, attack power was increased by 50%, and the power of Light Attribute Soul Skill was doubled.
A reader pointed out that this four-thousand-year-old Soul Skill is not as effective as Dai Mubai's three-thousand-year-old Soul Skill. That was indeed my oversight, so I'll correct it.
