Jun Xuehan exhaled softly, slowly opening her eyes. She saw that her entire body was almost entirely covered in a layer of silver battle power. The armor had a faint silver halo, making movement very agile, and possessing powerful defensive and offensive capabilities.
On his Silver Dragon Spear, the Soul Ring Configuration had subtly changed. The original seven Soul Ring— one yellow, two purple, two black, and two red—had become two purple, three black, and two red.
The increase in the age of the Soul Ring means that Jun Xuehan's strength has improved once again. Coupled with the Soul Bone Battle Armor, "transformation" is the most appropriate word to describe it.
The Soul Bone Battle Armor and the Martial Soul Silver Dragon Spear were retracted into his body. Jun Xuehan got up and stretched. Due to the enhancement he had just received, his body was now emitting cracking sounds.
If his strength was equivalent to Titled Douluo of level 95 before, then his current strength has completely entered the Super Douluo, comparable to Super Douluo of level 97.
"How are you feeling?" Gu Yuena stood up and gently stroked Jun Xue's hair.
"I feel better than ever before. Although the increase in Soul Power is negligible, the increase in strength can be called a transformation." A faint smile appeared on Jun Xuehan's face.
"Please sit down first. Now that you've reached the Soul Saint realm, I'll teach you Condense Soul Core. Although Condense Soul Core won't increase your Soul Power, it will improve the speed at which your Soul Power recovers. This will greatly enhance both your combat capabilities and your Soul Power recovery ability," Gu Yuena explained softly.
Under Gu Yuena's guidance, Jun Xuehan Condense Soul Core. The Soul Power within his body was constantly being compressed. With each compression, Jun Xuehan felt his meridians swell and ache, but due to his strong physique, this was completely within his tolerance.
After repeated compression, the Soul Power within Jun Xuehan's body gradually changed from a gaseous state to Liquid State. However, the compression of Soul Power continued, because to compress the Soul Ring, it was necessary to compress it from Liquid State to a solid state.
This will definitely take a long time.
Heaven Dou City, Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Xue Qinghe sat by the window, flipping through the documents in front of him with one hand, while holding a pastry in the other, taking a bite every now and then.
His eyes held a faint thoughtfulness, as if he were pondering something.
After a while, Xue Qinghe closed the documents in front of him, reached for the pastries on the tray, only to find that the tray that had been holding the pastries was now empty.
"Did Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect come to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace today?" Qian Renxue asked softly.
"Young Master, Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did not come to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace today." She Long's figure emerged from the shadows and answered respectfully.
"He's not coming? Have someone keep an eye out in the palace. As soon as Ning Fengzhi enters, report to me. Also, have a maid bring up a plate of pastries." Xue Qinghe crossed her hands and waved gently, signaling She Long to prepare.
"Young Master, you have such a good appetite today, is something making you happy?" She Long asked, looking at the four or five trays in front of Qian Renxue.
"Happy things? No, I'm just a little hungry." As she spoke, Xue Qinghe glanced at the tray in front of her, and her body involuntarily stiffened.
I've already finished four or five plates of pastries. No matter what, I shouldn't be like this. The current situation seems a bit abnormal.
"I'll have someone prepare it right away." She Long agreed and left the room.
After She Long left, a faint golden light appeared on Xue Qinghe's body, and he reverted to the appearance of Qian Renxue. He closed his eyes and used his Soul Power to carefully examine the condition of his body.
After a while, Qian Renxue opened her eyes and involuntarily looked at her flat stomach. Her eyes showed a constantly changing expression of surprise, astonishment, delight, and joy.
"Good heavens, I was wondering why my appetite had become so good lately. Turns out it's because I have a little foodie." Qian Renxue's eyes blinked a few times, and she rested her chin on her hand, her voice full of doting affection.
"Xuehan has a huge appetite; she can eat the equivalent of seven or eight people's meals. You must have inherited that talent. I just don't know who you inherited it from."
"My talent and appearance, as well as Xuehan's, are among the very top of the Continent's Pyramid. No matter who you inherited more from, your talent can't be lacking." Qian Renxue's eyes blinked, full of laughter and happiness, and even the corners of her mouth turned up in a smile.
"Hmm, if Grandpa knew about this, he'd probably eat two more bowls of rice in a moment of joy." Qian Renxue muttered to herself, picking up the paper and pen in front of her, seemingly wanting to write a letter.
But after thinking for a moment, Qian Renxue put down the pen and paper in her hand and muttered to herself, "Grandpa, he's getting old. It's not good for him to eat too much if he's too happy. Let's wait a while before we talk about it."
Qian Renxue stretched her waist, touched her flat stomach, and calmed her happy mood. Then, she emitted a faint golden light, disguised herself as Xue Qinghe again, and sat quietly in her original position to wait.
Although she remained calm and composed, as if nothing had happened, Qian Renxue's joy was something she couldn't calm down for Jiujiu.
After a long while, She Long came in from outside the door carrying a plate of pastries. He placed the pastries in front of Xue Qinghe and said, "Young Master, I have already given the instructions. As soon as Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect enters the palace, we will receive the news immediately."
Qian Renxue nodded slightly, picked up a piece of pastry and chewed it, saying, "Well, let's hold back and wait quietly. As soon as Xuehan enters the palace, we will officially begin to implement the plan."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will soon be overwhelmed with its own problems. At that time, we can focus on dealing with the affairs of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace."
Xue Qinghe said while eating pastries.
"Young Master, what should we do with Dugu Bo? Although he is from the Wind Snow Pavilion, he doesn't know your identity. It seems inappropriate to let him stay in the palace." She Long thought for a moment and asked softly.
"There's nothing wrong with it. Just give him the status of a guest advisor, but not a royal guest advisor, but Crown Prince guest advisor. He can handle some trivial matters." Xue Qinghe waved his hand dismissively, indicating that She Long could make the arrangements.
