Lost but Still Stubborn, Myriad Crocodile Emperor Essence Fruit

Tian Yue still cared a great deal about Su Mu's looks, and she also liked his personality.

Unfortunately, Spider Woman was always by Su Mu's side, so Tian Yue could not get close to him even if she wanted to.

Golden Crocodile Douluo had promised that once she broke through to Soul Ancestor, he would teach her the Golden Crocodile King's body-tempering secret art.

It was the experience Golden Crocodile Douluo had accumulated over a hundred years of cultivation.

Her grandfather had told her that the Golden Crocodile King was a beast martial soul that excelled in both offense and defense.

Its defensive power ranked among the best of all beast martial souls. Its strength was violent, its endurance in prolonged battles outstanding, and it was suited for direct, head-on clashes.

But even the finest martial soul had shortcomings. Its massive size made its movements insufficiently agile, and it was not skilled at high-speed entangling combat.

That was why she had suffered somewhat against Bibi Dong's speed when facing her.

If she could awaken a domain later that suppressed Bibi Dong's speed or increased her own speed, then she would have the strength to fight her.

Watching the exceedingly excited Little Crocodile, Su Mu could not help but sigh inwardly.

The six people in this team would become the backbone of Spirit Hall in the future, so he had already intended to nurture them properly.

The Pope's Palace and the Worship Hall had an excellent relationship, unlike in the original story, where their relationship became utterly irreconcilable after Bibi Dong succeeded as Pope.

The current Spirit Hall was a unified whole.

"Fine. If I don't give it to you, you'll probably nag me again."

Su Mu began searching through the jade boxes in his storage Soul Tool for an Immortal Herb.

Tian Yue giggled. "Thank you, Boss Su, but Tian Yue wouldn't nag."

"That's not certain," Su Mu said.

Tian Yue did not refute him. Whatever Boss Su said was right.

Before long, Su Mu took out an oval fruit the size of a fist from a jade box. It was entirely dark gold, its skin covered in fine crocodile-scale patterns. A faint golden radiance flowed across its surface, and from up close, it gave off a heavy, primordial scent.

"The Myriad Crocodile Emperor Essence Fruit. After eating it, it can enhance the origin of your martial soul. For a Soul Master like you who combines offense and defense, its effects are exceptional. It can even allow you to undergo a complete transformation."

As Tian Yue listened to Su Mu's explanation, a flash of delight crossed her eyes. "It's that powerful? Are there any necessary precautions?"

"There is one."

Su Mu cautioned, "After you eat the Myriad Crocodile Emperor Essence Fruit, if its energy is too immense, it may burden your body. But you don't need to worry at all. With Ah Yin and me here, we can completely help you resolve it."

Tian Yue nodded. "Yes, Boss Su. I understand."

Su Mu handed the Myriad Crocodile Emperor Essence Fruit to Tian Yue.

After Tian Yue accepted the Myriad Crocodile Emperor Essence Fruit,

an intense energy fluctuation erupted within the Crimson Domain.

Demon Charm and Bibi Dong emerged at the same time, and both of their Soul Power was nearly depleted.

Bibi Dong panted heavily. "Demon Charm, you lost!"

"I lost?"

Demon Charm gave a disdainful smile. Just as he was about to retort, his body suddenly stiffened.

"What's going on?"

Demon Charm's expression changed drastically as he began examining his body, only to discover that poison had been injected into it.

Demon Charm checked himself from head to toe and found a tiny scratch on his right arm.

"When did that happen?"

His voice was filled with disbelief.

Everything had clearly been under control. How had this happened?

"If I hadn't pointed it out, you would have remained careless."

Bibi Dong withdrew her martial soul. "With a scratch this slight, I can inject poison, and you won't notice it at all."

Demon Charm had nothing to say. The mist of the Crimson Domain dispersed.

It disintegrated on its own.

Xie An and Hu Liena were both drenched in cold sweat.

Su Mu activated Martial Soul Possession, and a pure white beam enveloped their bodies.

The poison was quickly purged.

Their complexions gradually regained their color as well.

"I'm alive again. That poison was truly torturous."

Xie An and Hu Liena sighed at the same time.

Su Mu withdrew his martial soul and said, "It was only a spar. Besides, Dong'er has an External Soul Bone, and her soul ring configuration is also extremely strong. You didn't lose unfairly."

Xie An nodded. "I lost. I'll definitely win it back next time. Liena and I were just careless."

Hu Liena echoed, "That's right, we were just careless."

Though the two admitted defeat with their words, their faces still showed unwillingness to concede.

Once they broke through to Soul Ancestor, they would fight back.

Bibi Dong laughed. "You two really are stubborn to the end."

Xie An and Hu Liena exchanged a smile. In any case, they refused to accept defeat.

Tian Yue, who stood to one side still holding the Myriad Crocodile Emperor Essence Fruit, curled her lips upward slightly.

Once I swallow this fruit, I'll definitely compete with Bibi Dong.

Next, Tian Yue directly swallowed the Myriad Crocodile Emperor Essence Fruit.

"It's quite sweet!"

The Myriad Crocodile Emperor Essence Fruit was unexpectedly sweet and delicious, making Tian Yue look forward even more to refining its medicinal power.

But in only a moment, the immense medicinal power erupted instantly. Tian Yue was caught somewhat off guard and immediately sat down, circulating her Soul Power to absorb it.

Hearing the commotion, Bibi Dong looked toward Tian Yue. "Senior Brother, Tian Yue is...?"

"She's refining the medicinal power," Su Mu said. "She just ate an Immortal Herb."

"Little Crocodile eating an Immortal Herb is an overall improvement for the team, but Little Crocodile is still Little Crocodile. Does she really think eating an Immortal Herb will let her defeat me?"

"I, Bibi Dong, am ultimately a chasm she cannot cross."

Bibi Dong said this with her hands on her hips, brimming with confidence.

Ever since breaking through to Soul Ancestor and consuming an Immortal Herb, Bibi Dong had become more and more like her teacher, Qian Xunji. Both were arrogant and self-assured.

Su Yu shook his head and simply waited quietly for Tian Yue to finish absorbing it.

As for the Golden Crocodile King martial soul, Golden Crocodile Douluo had not appeared many times in the original story. He had mostly acted on the battlefield outside Jialing Pass, along with a few other locations.

Besides the Golden Crocodile King's defensive martial soul, another famous defensive martial soul was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Bone Dragon Martial Soul.

However, Gu Rong should currently have been at the Soul Douluo realm and had not yet reached the Titled Douluo realm.

As for his future excellent partner, Sword Douluo Chen Xin—

Seven Kill Douluo Chen Tianjun was still alive, and Chen Xin had not yet joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. At most, he was only on friendly terms with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, do you think I'll become the youngest Titled Douluo in history?"

Bibi Dong grinned as she came before Su Mu.

"The youngest Titled Douluo?" Su Mu smiled. "It's possible, but you might not necessarily surpass Senior Brother."

"That's right, Little Mu-Mu. With my help, you definitely won't be older than thirty when you break through to Titled Douluo. You may even do it sooner."

The Life Goddess's voice rang out again in the sea of consciousness.

With the Life Goddess as a cheat to help him, Su Mu's breakthrough to Titled Douluo was assured. Moreover, based on her observations during this period—

Su Mu's martial soul cultivated in a very special way. The Wish Angel could not cultivate through ordinary meditation, instead relying on saving others and gathering the power of faith produced by the gratitude of all living beings to increase Soul Power.

This reminded her of the Sea God and Angel God long ago. They had also become gods through the power of faith, but that process had been far too lengthy.

The Sea God had spent roughly a thousand years becoming a god, and the Angel God had been much the same.
