Soul Spirit? A Human Power Pillar

Bai Xiao had not expected Qian Renxue's beauty to evolve as well,

Qian Renxue had originally been the pinnacle of beauty on the Douluo Continent. Now, she was even more "adorable" than before,

Bai Xiao noticed that Qian Renxue was a little more "plump" than before. He could tell from the slight baby fat on her chin, absolutely not from anywhere strange.

Bai Xiao thought of Qian Daoliu, who had previously gone mad transporting his Divine Power into her,

Qian Renxue had needed no less Divine Power—rather, she had needed even more. Bai Xiao guessed that the excess Divine Power had been used to help Qian Renxue grow, after all, fat cells stored the most energy.

Watching Qian Renxue transform from her original aloof "goddess" into the adorable "little steamed bun" she was now, Bai Xiao did not know what to say.

At the very least, Qian Renxue now felt more approachable to Bai Xiao than before. After all, boys generally held no hostility toward cute girls. Bai Xiao decided that he would scam Qian Renxue a little less in the future and argue with her a little less too.

Qian Renxue had also noticed certain changes in her body. She felt somewhat ashamed, yet in order to preserve her dignity before Bai Xiao, she still looked at him with a stern expression.

Little did she know that there was nothing stern about her face now,

Looking at the "giant loli" before him, Bai Xiao said with gratification, "Congratulations, Qian Renxue. You have obtained an unprecedented Soul Spirit!"

Qian Renxue had originally been somewhat angry, but seeing Bai Xiao congratulate her so sincerely, the prejudice in her heart eased a little. She replied, "Thank you..."

At that moment, Dr. Dugu poked his head out and said, "Qian Renxue, please describe your current bodily sensations and the so-called Soul Spirit state. Come with me afterward for some tests, so we can gain a deeper understanding of Soul Spirits."

There were two reasons Bai Xiao had given Qian Renxue a Soul Spirit,

First, it was to save the life of the Mysterious Bird, his little Soul Beast underling,

Second, it was for Qian Renxue, this rare experimental specimen. After all, she was the only one with innate level-twenty soul power. It would be a waste not to use her,

And Qian Daoliu, that "pseudo-god," came included as an energy reservoir, providing the experiment with the higher-grade energy of "Divine Power."

"Divine Power" was something one could possess only after breaking through to the god level. As a former inheritor of Godhood and now a guide, Qian Daoliu still had some reserves of it,

Otherwise, Bai Xiao and Dugu Bo would never have found another way to obtain "Divine Power,"

Even if they did find one, they would have to pay an enormous price for it,

Poor Qian Renxue was hauled into the laboratory by "Dr. Bai" and "Dr. Dugu,"

As for Qian Daoliu, he ignored Qian Renxue's resistance. This unprecedented Soul Spirit had to be investigated thoroughly—what if it affected the inheritance of Godhood?

At present, only Bai Xiao and Dugu Bo on the Douluo Continent possessed the ability to research it. Besides, with him there, Bai Xiao and the others would not dare do anything improper to Qian Renxue.

After undergoing a series of tests, Qian Renxue finally ended her life as a lab rat,

During the tests, Bai Xiao touched Qian Renxue's arm and other parts with his hands, making her terribly bashful. Qian Renxue had nearly flown into a rage from embarrassment and loudly rebuked Bai Xiao,

But when Qian Renxue saw that Bai Xiao and Dugu Bo were looking at her the way one looked at an object, she found that she had nowhere to vent her anger. At the same time, a feeling of dissatisfaction arose within her,

What frightened her most was that Dugu Bo actually suggested, "Cut off a piece of flesh and taste it!" Although Bai Xiao interrupted him, the way Qian Renxue looked at Dugu Bo changed completely, as if she were looking at a pervert,

Bai Xiao was also troubled by this habit Dugu Bo had developed from the Soul Beasts. Previously, quite a few Soul Beasts had felt that after being modified, they had been "shortchanged on the scales."

It was because of the attribute Dugu Bo had accidentally awakened: "True—I Want to Eat Your Liver."

After Bai Xiao and Dugu Bo had carried out one high-intensity Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast modification surgery after another, they became extremely hungry—especially Dugu Bo. He happened to be able to see the patients' severed limbs, and once he started, there was no stopping him,

From then on, Dugu Bo began frantically recruiting Soul Beast underlings for Bai Xiao: avian Soul Beasts with enormous wings, brawny wild boar Soul Beasts, fish Soul Beasts in ponds...

There was a reason Bai Xiao's Soul Beast army was so well-rounded across sea, land, and air.

After Bai Xiao and Dugu Bo continually researched the Mysterious Bird's current condition, Bai Xiao reached a key conclusion: "The Mysterious Bird as it is now should not be called a Soul Spirit. It should be called a 'Tailed Beast'!"
