Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Meng Yiran sat cross-legged, each holding the same three pills: the Mending Heaven Pill to make up for deficiencies in their talents, the Marrow-Cleansing Pill to cleanse their meridians, and the Foundation Establishment Pill to stabilize their foundations.
These pills, renowned even in other worlds, would now become the cornerstone of their path to godhood!
They swallowed the pills and began cultivating.
The Mending Heaven Pill's gentle medicinal power rapidly strengthened the martial souls of Zhu Zhuqing and the other two. The Nether Civet Martial Soul became lighter and more agile without losing any sense of power. If they had to be compared, Zhu Zhuqing's Nether Civet Martial Soul was now far stronger than Dai Mubai's Evil-Eyed White Tiger.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared in Ning Rongrong's hand. Under the Mending Heaven Pill's powerful medicinal effects, it quickly completed its evolution and became the even more powerful Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. It even came with enhanced defense and damage reflection effects. From this day onward, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would enter a new chapter of history.
Meng Yiran summoned her Serpent Cane. Her once ordinary martial soul was transformed by the Mending Heaven Pill's medicinal power. It became an exquisite and overwhelmingly powerful magic staff, as though it had descended from mythology into the mortal realm, seemingly containing endless mysteries within.
The Mending Heaven Pill's effects came quickly and faded just as quickly. The three women opened their eyes at the same time, satisfaction lingering briefly in their gazes before they hurriedly swallowed the Marrow-Cleansing Pill.
The Marrow-Cleansing Pill's effects were extremely long-lasting. Once consumed, it would constantly strengthen the user's meridians and physique, providing ample support and preparation for the three of them to use God-given Spirit Rings later and obtain Spirit Rings with higher year limits.
While the Marrow-Cleansing Pill was still taking effect, the three of them swallowed the Foundation Establishment Pill at the same time.
The violent medicinal power began sweeping through their bodies almost the instant the pills entered their mouths. Ning Rongrong, whose resolve was slightly weaker, instinctively cried out in pain before forcibly holding it back.
This unreasonably brutal medicinal power continuously tempered their bodies. Along with the pain came increasingly powerful physiques and abilities in every aspect.
"Baby Zhuqing, keep it up! Once you get through this, you'll undergo a qualitative transformation!"
"Baby Rongrong, endure it! Women are meant to be cherished!"
"Baby Yiran is so strong! She can actually endure the Foundation Establishment Pill's effects without changing expression! As expected, my Baby Yiran is the best!"
"Hey! The one in front, don't put others down to praise your favorite! Be careful, or I'll come through the internet cable and beat you up!"
"I can only say that resources are what matter most! Once these three grow up, what does Tang San amount to in front of them?"
"I don't even know how the Continental Elite Spirit Master Tournament will be fought later! With these three standing on the arena, just who else can compete?"
"Don't forget that my Baby Yiran isn't from Shrek Academy! Who comes out on top is still anyone's guess!"
"Have you all forgotten that Gu Zhi still isn't over the age limit? If a later mission has Gu Zhi compete, that would be him with both hands in his pockets, not knowing what an opponent even is!"
"What? A demon king is joining the competition? How the hell are they supposed to play this?"
"Damn! Only when Gu Zhi was mentioned did I realize that he's just a four-ring Spirit Master, yet he's actually much stronger than even a Soul Emperor! If he stood in the arena, taking on an entire team by himself wouldn't be a problem!"
As the bullet comments watched Zhu Zhuqing and the other two continuously grow stronger, they lamented while also looking forward to the future. Thanks to the system rewards they had gained this time, the few of them could now be said to be the strongest among the younger generation on the entire continent.
"I've cultivated painstakingly for so many years, yet I'm actually inferior to a few little girls! Gu Zhi! I must have you!"
Far away in Spirit Hall, Hu Liena watched the bullet comments lavish praise on Zhu Zhuqing and the others, and her heart was filled with complicated feelings.
Ever since joining Spirit Hall and becoming its Holy Maiden, Hu Liena had considered herself one of the strongest among the younger generation.
Yet Zhu Zhuqing and the others had made no effort at all. They had merely accompanied Gu Zhi on a trip through the Star Dou Great Forest, and they had received such an opportunity!
Who wouldn't be jealous after seeing that?
"Damn it! Sister Yan! It seems we need to take action too!"
At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan had gathered together to follow Gu Zhi's situation. Seeing the opportunities Zhu Zhuqing and the others had received made them immensely envious. As talented and hardworking fighters, they were unwilling to fall behind others!
"Let's go! We're heading to the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena!"
Dugu Yan rose to her feet and led Ye Lingling straight toward the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena. She would definitely catch up with everything she had fallen behind on!
"Sis! Aren't we going to find Gu Zhi yet? You're not still bothered by what happened between him and Liu Erlong, are you?"
At Skywater Academy, the Shui sisters had also gathered together to whisper among themselves. They had originally planned to seek out Gu Zhi long ago, and had even wanted to make the first move.
Unfortunately, Gu Zhi had already met Zhu Zhuqing at the time. After Shui Bing'er saw the bullet comments' reports, she became somewhat hesitant. Later, Liu Erlong's matter dealt her an even greater blow, giving her thoughts of giving up on pursuing Gu Zhi.
"But there are already beauties everywhere around him. Are you really willing to join them?"
Shui Bing'er was somewhat of a clean freak. If Gu Zhi had not been surrounded by so many temptations, she naturally would have dared to take the lead.
"So what? The bullet comments are right! Could we spend the endless years ahead alone until we die? If Gu Zhi truly suits my heart, it's not like I can't accept all those women around him!"
Shui Yue'er saw things more openly. Or perhaps she was simply a hedonist who disliked thinking too much about such troublesome matters.
Shui Bing'er fell silent for a moment before finally rising to her feet. Under Shui Yue'er's delighted gaze, she headed toward the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena.
"I was still one step too late... What Liu Erlong can do, I can do too!"
Having already arrived at the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena, Huo Wu gazed in the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest, having long since made her decision.
"Perhaps he really can help me break free from this miserable fate... Brother Hao, I'm sorry..."
In the Moonlight Pavilion loft in Heaven Dou City, Tang Yuehua stared blankly at the scrolling bullet comments. What occupied her mind was something the comments had mentioned unintentionally: perhaps she could use Liu Erlong's method to borrow Gu Zhi's Ultimate Fire and break through the shackles of her mutated martial soul.
She and Liu Erlong were close in age, yet now one was in the heavens while the other was underground. It was inevitable that Tang Yuehua felt somewhat unbalanced.
Although she still could not let go of Tang Hao, Tang Yuehua had long known that this relationship could never bear fruit, so she no longer wanted to torment herself...
"With such results, the others probably won't be able to sit still either... Fine. As long as Gu Zhi ultimately belongs to me and can be used by me, that will be enough... I must also guard against that woman! I don't care about anyone else, but that woman absolutely cannot be allowed to lay a hand on Gu Zhi!"
Within the residence of the Heaven Dou Imperial City's eldest prince, Qian Renxue kept persuading herself that what was done was done. Only by letting go of her obsession with possessing Gu Zhi exclusively could she go further.
Yet Bibi Dong was the one person she remained constantly wary of. As long as Gu Zhi did not get tangled up with her, Qian Renxue could remain calm.
Still, it was time to act. Qian Renxue rose and transformed back into Xue Qinghe's appearance, heading for the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena as well...
