After this engagement, Orleans came to Xu Residence more often because of the engagement.
Every time she comes, she brings some rare delicacies. And grasping Xu Huxiao's character of eating soft food but not hard food, her attitude has also changed a lot, and she has become a docile and pleasant little daughter-in-law.
However, Xu Huxiao still strictly implemented his training plan as always and was not affected at all.
Just three months later, the Soul Bone energy solidified in Xu Huxiao's body was finally completely refined. Just as he thought, the second Essence Intent Realm Blood-Essence Flower was successfully condensed. His Soul Power also experienced explosive growth, directly rising to four levels, reaching level twenty-eight.
The total amount of Soul Power, according to Xu Huxiao's estimation, is already comparable to the average level 50 Soul King!
Moreover, after refining and solidifying the Soul Bone energy, his Platinum Dragon-Scaled Arms Martial Soul's Soul Ring Soul Skill were also unblocked. At the same time, perhaps due to the influence of the absorbed Soul Bone energy, Xu Huxiao was surprised to find that his second Soul Skill Shadow Counter-Spike Light Armor had also been mutated and enhanced.
Previously in Eye of Omniscience, his second Soul Skill showed:
[Shadow Counter-Spike Light Armor]: 100% defense against energy attacks, 20% physical defense. If the light armor is not broken, it will absorb 90% of the energy attacks and condense Purple Light Bullet. If the light armor is broken, it will absorb 50% of the energy attacks and condense Purple Light Bullet.
But now, through Eye of Omniscience scanning, he found that the description had changed.
[Shadow Counter-Spike Light Armor]: 100% defense against energy and physical attacks. If the light armor is not broken, it will absorb 90% of the energy and physical attacks and condense Purple Light Bullet. If the light armor is broken, it will absorb 50% of the energy and physical attacks and condense Purple Light Bullet.
Although the information described by Soul Skill has not changed much, it still has the function of defensive energy absorption and then releasing the attack of Purple Light Bullet.
However, the effect is completely different.
"According to Eye of Omniscience's description, this 100% defense means that as long as the attacker's total amount of Soul Power does not exceed mine, then it is impossible to break through my Shadow Counter-Spike Light Armor."
"In other words, as long as I activate the second Soul Skill now, before my Soul Power is exhausted, even if I follow the general Soul Master and the best Soul Ring combination, as long as the Soul Master is Soul King or lower, it will be able to defend 100% from physical attacks or energy attacks."
What an unexpected surprise!
Xu Huxiao smiled. With this Soul Skill, even if he stood still, he could be said to be invincible under Soul King.
Because now Xu Huxiao is fully defensive, but on the third floor, as his enemy, the first thing he has to face is the Soul Skill light armor with 100% defense. After breaking the purple light armor, the one who has to break through is himself. The active defensive Force Shield, and after breaking through Force Shield, there is Indestructible Diamond Divine Skill, Copper Body, and the perfect Copper Skin Iron Bones.
Such a defense is simply despairing!
After carefully feeling all the changes in the body, Xu Huxiao found Yun Ji, used the Five-Colored Heavenly Pearl on his wrist, and followed the same pattern, absorbing the 10% mutilated Brown-Eyed Giant Demon Ape Left Arm Soul Bone.
This time, Xu Huxiao used Shrek Martial Soul, so his Twin Arms's Soul Ring Soul Skill was not affected and can be used as usual.
Because of this first experience, the absorption process this time was very easy. After the absorption was completed, Xu Huxiao was looking forward to it.
"The Three Qi-Blood Flowers of the Essence Intent Realm has been condensed in the right palm and navel. The only thing missing is the one in the left palm. Although it is more difficult to condense the Three Qi-Blood Flowers of the Essence Intent Realm towards the back, but after absorbing this incomplete piece of Left Arm Soul Bone, it should be able to condense most of it."
"Moreover, after the first Dragon-Scaled Black Tortoise's Head Soul Bone was absorbed, my second Soul Skill was obviously greatly enhanced. So by absorbing the energy of this Soul Bone, in addition to condensing Blood-Essence Flower, will I also gain a certain gravity control ability?"
This is very possible, but the details will not be known until the solidification energy of this incomplete Arm Soul Bone is refined.
Xu Huxiao felt it. With the help of Soulmate Stone, after absorbing the energy of Soul Bone, it only takes five months to completely refine it.
"By then, I, Silver Body, have also completed my cultivation. Soul Power will definitely have broken through to level 30, and I will be ready to obtain the third Soul Ring."
On this road of becoming stronger, he is going further and further step by step, and Xu Huxiao feels very satisfied.
Just when Xu Huxiao thought that such peaceful practice would continue forever, his teacher Bibi Dong sent someone to tell him to immediately go to the Papal Palace to receive special training as a disciple of the Pope.
Hu Liena was also notified of the special training.
When Xu Huxiao arrived at the Papal Palace on the mountainside, Hu Liena had already been there for a while in the hall.
When he saw the senior brother he was thinking about, Hu Liena did not smile as sweetly as before, but smiled a little reluctantly.
She already knows about the engagement of Xu Huxiao and Orleans.
From being devastated when I first heard this news, to now I am smiling.
Even though three months had passed, she still couldn't fully accept it.
Although she tried hard to tell herself that they were a talented and beautiful couple, they were a well-matched couple, and she should bless them.
Even though she devotes all her time and attention to practice every day, she is exhausted every day until she falls down.
Although she knew from the beginning that it would be impossible for her to be with her beloved senior brother, she just imagined that she could always be by his side.
Although she suppressed all emotions and all love, she only retained the minimum of sweet dreams in her heart.
However, this minimalist dream still burst like a bubble.
"Senior brother, congratulations." Hu Liena still spoke.
As soon as these words were spoken, Hu Liena suddenly felt that there was a deep and unbridgeable strange gap between her and her senior brother. She regretted saying this. If she hadn't said it, she could have pretended not to know and lied to herself for a while longer.
But, what's the difference?
Yes, this is already a fact.
Xu Huxiao was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that Hu Liena was talking about congratulations on his engagement.
"Oh, thank you."
After a brief congratulation and a reply, the scene fell into silence.
At this time, in the Papal Palace reception room, Pope Bibi Dong had not arrived yet, so the brothers and sisters were sitting quietly.
After a while, Bibi Dong arrived, and the two of them stood up respectfully to salute.
Bibi Dong said, "Huxiao, Nana, you two are my proud disciples. I asked you to come here today to prepare you for a month-long closed special training here."
"This is also the first phase of special training I will give you. During this month, you will live at the Papal Palace. Someone will take you to your place later."
"At the end of one month, I will conduct an assessment on you. If you pass the assessment, you will be rewarded accordingly. I hope you will not disappoint the teacher."
"I will never let the teacher down." They both responded in unison.
Xu Huxiao didn't know what the special training Bibi was talking about, but he didn't want to accept it because he knew that the training here would definitely not be as efficient as his own training plan. But this was Bibi Dong's request. In order to leave a good impression on this teacher, he could only obey it.
Fortunately, it was only Silver Body Tempering of Golden Rooster Stance Skill that was delayed. His refining and absorption of Soul Bone energy would not be delayed.
Seeing that the two disciples were so well-behaved, Bibi Dong showed satisfaction in his eyes and continued:
"The first phase of special training will not repeat your training in the academy, but will serve as reinforcement and expansion to enable you to go further on the road of Soul Master."
"So, you have to take it seriously."
"The special training I have arranged for you has two aspects, namely physical strength and intelligence. The physical strength and intelligence training are in different places in the Papal Palace."
"Come with me now, I will take you to the special physical training location first."
After saying that, Bibi Dong led two disciples out of the Papal Palace and walked towards the back of the mountainside.
There are red-striped and black-armored warriors on duty along the way. These are Papal Palace's exclusive Hall Guard, which are one level higher than the temple's silver-armored warriors at the foot of the mountain.
These Hall Guard are extremely well-educated, like armor sculptures. Even if the Pope passes by, they will just silently salute neatly and uniformly, and then continue to watch without looking away, without any unnecessary movements in the whole process.
Xu Huxiao From these Papal Palace and Hall Guard, we can see what a well-trained army looks like.
It's so strict and neat. No wonder Spirit Hall will transform into the Spirit Hall Empire later. Maybe my teacher has already begun to transform Spirit Hall into an empire.
The three of them kept moving forward on the long corridor on the mountainside until they reached a wide white jade platform on the back of the mountain, where Bibi Dong stopped.
There were two Red-clad Bishop waiting here for a long time. The bishop establishment was under the management of Ghost Leopard Douluo. Xu Huxiao took a glance and found that these two bishops had Soul Emperor cultivation and extraordinary strength.
After arriving at the Baiyu Platform, Bibi Dong said, "These two Red-clad Bishop are responsible for assisting you in your physical training this month. If you have any requirements, just tell them and they will do it for you as quickly as possible without any conditions."
"And your destination for this special training is Angel Ascension Ladder in front of you."
Following what Bibi Dong pointed, Xu Huxiao looked and saw an endless white jade staircase on the mountain wall not far away leading directly to the top of the mountain.
The long staircase is as white as jade, and the second half is surrounded by misty clouds, like a ladder to the sky.
Bibi Dong looked at the white jade climbing ladder and said, "This Angel Ascension Stairway leads directly from here to the Douluo Hall on the top of the mountain. There are 499 steps in total. Standing on it, your Martial Soul will After being sealed, Soul Power will be affected by Angel Purification Power, and the flow rate will be doubled. The flow rate of Soul Power in the first hundred levels is twice, and it will double every hundred steps thereafter. The last ninety-nine levels are ten times the flow rate."
"Furthermore, the gravity bonus on it is the same as the doubling of the power of purification. The first hundred steps are twice the gravity, and every hundred steps thereafter are doubled. The last ninety-nine steps are ten times the gravity."
"Another point is that after Soul Power is exhausted, your body will fall into a negative state of overload. If you want to continue climbing, you will have to exert more energy than usual, or even double your energy."
"And this state is also the best training state for Soul Master's physical strength. It cannot be broken or established. Only by squeezing out the body's strength again and again can we continue to break through the limit."
"The special training I give you is that for Nana, you can climb to the 100th level within a month, and for Huxiao, your task is to climb to the 200th level within the same time."
"This is the special physical training. If you have any questions, you can ask me now."
Xu Huxiao looked at the stairs with curiosity in his eyes. He did not expect that there was such a place on the back of the Papal Palace mountainside.
Angel Ascension Ladder and Bibi Dong have been introduced in detail. You have to wait and experience it yourself to know the effect. Xu Huxiao has no doubts now.
So, he replied, "I don't have it. I just follow the teacher's arrangements."
The same was true for Hu Liena. He didn't question Bibi Dong's training arrangements, nor did he ask any questions.
Seeing the two people's reactions, Bibi Dong nodded secretly. What she was most satisfied with about her two disciples was that they were worry-free and didn't have to waste words.
"Very good. Now follow me to another place. There, the teacher will teach you the most important things in this special training."
"Wisdom."
