A New Path!
If... if this method of gaining power without hunting could be promoted?
Can it form a system?
Does that mean that there is finally a possibility for Soul Master and Soul Beast to set aside their hatred and move towards symbiosis?
Will the Soul Beast of the Star Dou Forest no longer have to grow up in fear, worrying about one day becoming souls trapped under human Soul Ring?
This idea is too grand, too awe-inspiring, and too... uncertain.
But its Captivate was unparalleled for Bi Ji!
Bi Ji's gaze met that of Zi JI was also deeply shocked, in mid-air.
Without a word, they both read the turbulent thoughts swirling in each other's eyes.
The shock in Zi JI's eyes gradually gave way to solemnity and contemplation.
Although she was strong-willed, she was by no means dull-witted.
She could understand some of the profound meaning that Bi Ji could conceive of.
This is indeed... of great importance!
It's so significant that it could influence the future of the entire Star Dou Forest, and even the entire Douluo Continent!
The noise in the arena seemed to fade away.
Lin Xia was surrounded by Hu Liena and others who were "denouncing" his destructive power Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu also came over, their faces showing a complex but ultimately gratified expression.
However, Bi Ji and Zi JI seemed to be in another dimension.
Silence spread between the two Ferocious Beasts; only they could feel the silent thunder resounding deep within their souls.
Finally, Bi Ji took a deep breath, her gentle, spring-like face now displaying an unprecedented solemnity.
She turned to Zi JI, her voice low but carrying an undeniable determination that clearly reached Zi JI's ears.
"Zi JI."
Bi Ji's voice trembled slightly, not from fear, but from a mixture of excitement and solemnity.
"Did you see that? Lin Xia... he broke the rules! What he used wasn't a Soul Ring skill at all! It was... it was a direct manifestation of Venusaur's inherent power! It was a natural evolution of his own power after reaching a certain level! This... this might mean..."
She paused, her emerald eyes sparkling with wisdom and hope.
"A completely new path! A path to gain immense power without hunting Soul Beast or relying on Soul Ring! The significance of this is... staggering!"
Zi JI's purple eyes were sharp. She nodded heavily, her voice equally low and solemn.
"Indeed. The changes that have occurred in this child have exceeded common sense and touched upon the very essence of the rules. His very existence may be a variable, a... catalyst."
She looked at Lin Xia's figure with a complicated expression.
"Our the Master considers him crucial and has ordered the two of us to protect him. The deeper meaning behind this... is probably far beyond what we initially thought. What he is showing now is not simply an increase in power, but... a complete subversion of his path!"
Bi Ji's eyes shone even brighter.
"That's right! Therefore, Zi JI, this matter is of utmost importance, and it's not something the two of us can decide rashly."
"This concerns the fate of countless beings in my Star Dou, and the possible future direction of the relationship between Soul Master and Soul Beast! We must report everything that has happened here, especially the details of Lin Xia's transformation over the past five years, his non- Soul Ring abilities, the changes in the nature of his Soul Power, and his deeper resonance with Venusaur... everything must be reported to the Master in detail!"
Her tone was earnest and urgent.
"Our the Master is as vast as the sea, and his vision as far-reaching as the horizon. He will surely be able to discern the infinite possibilities contained within and provide guidance that best serves the long-term interests of the Star Dou! Perhaps... perhaps this is the turning point that our the Master has been waiting for?"
Thinking of Gu Yuena's special attention to Lin Xia, Bi Ji's anticipation grew even stronger.
Zi JI did not answer immediately; the lines on her cold and beautiful face were tense, clearly indicating that she was also engaged in intense thinking and weighing of options.
Protecting Lin Xia was a strict order from their the Master, and no failure was permitted. But the current discovery was indeed of such importance that it overturned all expectations. After a moment, a resolute glint flashed in her eyes, and she slowly nodded, her voice firm and unwavering:
"Bi Ji, you are absolutely right! The changes that have occurred in Lin Xia have touched upon fundamental laws, and their significance is so great that it truly requires the Master's judgment! Our responsibilities are immense and cannot be neglected. Therefore..."
She made a quick decision.
"Many powerful figures from the Spirit Hall are here, and Lin Xia's own strength is unfathomable. His safety is not a concern for the time being. One of us must immediately set off and return to the Core Circle to report everything here, especially the 'Origin Power' that Lin Xia displayed today and the secrets of path innovation that it may contain, in detail, to our the Master!"
"The other person will remain here to guard the area and closely monitor Lin Xia's subsequent movements, ready to provide backup at any time."
Upon hearing this, Bi Ji's eyes revealed agreement.
"Alright! There's no time to lose. Zi JI, you are faster and more decisive, so it is most appropriate for you to set off immediately to return and see the Master. I will stay here to guard and continue to observe and record."
She knew that Zi JI was decisive and efficient, and that it was Murasaki who could deliver messages most quickly.
Without the slightest hesitation, Zi JI immediately agreed.
"Alright! I'll set off now! This place is in your hands, Bi Ji. Be careful!"
She took one last deep look at the boy in the arena who was scratching his head and explaining to Bibi Dong that he had "accidentally used too much force," and then glanced at the devastated Martial Arts Arena. Her figure blurred instantly, and a highly condensed, deep purple light that almost merged into space silently shot into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye into the horizon above Spirit City. Its speed was so fast that it left no sound of air being torn apart, as if it had never existed.
She will rush back to the core circle of the Star Dou Forest at full speed and report to the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena this shocking discovery that can affect the pattern of the continent.
Bi Ji watched Zi JI disappear, her heart was filled with turmoil, but her face quickly regained its usual gentle and peaceful expression.
She composed herself, temporarily suppressing all her shock, excitement, and anticipation, and turned her gaze back to the arena, like a most loyal guardian. However, deep within her emerald eyes burned an unprecedentedly fervent light.
Lin Xia... how many more miracles can you bring us?
Can this new path you've opened bring true hope to the Soul Beast?
In the Worship Hall, Lin Xia seemed to have a premonition after finishing his wine. Just as Zi JI disappeared in the purple light, he was listening to Qian Daoliu's admonition, tinged with helplessness and pride. "Next time we spar, let's go to the wasteland outside the city..."
His gaze, however, unconsciously and imperceptibly glanced in the direction of Bi Ji, his brow twitching almost imperceptibly.
He could sense an extremely faint, unique aura belonging to Zi JI vanish in an instant, its direction pointing directly to the Star Dou.
Are we going back to report something?
Lin Xia understood, but on the surface she still maintained a well-behaved appearance of listening to the teachings.
Just then, a cool but Limber hand gently rested on his arm.
Lin Xia turned her head and met Qian Renxue's Viola eyes, which had regained their luster and were now filled with concern and a hint of barely Frisk pride.
Are you tired?
Her voice was soft, carrying the warmth unique to an older sister, as if the earth-shattering power that had just been displayed had never happened, and all she cared about was him as a person.
Lin Xia felt a warmth in her heart, shook her head, and revealed a warm and pure smile.
"With Sister Xue'er here, how could I be tired?"
