Gengjin Form Hell White Tiger
"It seems your Hell Spirit Cat has evolved into a higher form. Let's give it a new name," Dai Mubai said.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded. "Since it has nine tails, let's call it the Nine Nether Spirit Cat."
That's really concise and to the point!
Dai Mubai nodded with a smile, then changed the subject, "Zhu Qing, have you noticed that the connection between our Martial Soul is much stronger than before?"
"Yes, I felt it the moment I woke up." Zhu Zhuqing looked at him, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
Dai Mubai reached out his hand, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes. "How about... we try out Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
Without any hesitation, Zhu Zhuqing placed her delicate hand in his palm. "Okay."
The two walked to the center of the open space, and the others tactfully stepped back.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing interlocked their fingers, simultaneously calming their minds and releasing their respective Martial Soul.
"Roar!"
"Meow!"
The domineering and fierce nature of the Gengjin White Tiger and the dark and unpredictable nature of the Nine Nether Spirit Cat blend perfectly at this moment.
The two were of one mind, and their Soul Power flowed into each other's bodies through their clasped hands, merging very smoothly.
In an instant, blinding platinum light and deep black light shot into the sky!
Within the light, a colossal creature was rapidly taking shape.
It was a giant tiger with wings on its back, over ten meters long and four or five meters tall at the shoulder. Its entire body was covered with white and gold fur, shimmering with the unique metallic luster and murderous aura of the Gengjin White Tiger.
However, unlike a pure Gengjin White Tiger, its massive body also has some black demonic patterns.
The Gengjin Form Hell White Tiger!
As the one in charge, Dai Mubai sensed that the White Tiger's strength, speed, and defense had all been greatly enhanced.
"This is the evolved Martial Soul Fusion Skill?" Zhao Wuji's eyes widened.
Dai Mubai exclaimed in delight, "Teacher Zhao, would you please try out its power!"
"That's exactly what I was thinking!" Zhao Wuji strode forward, his Vajra Vajra Bear Martial Soul instantly activating him, and unleashed a punch!
The Hell White Tiger also raised one of its massive claws and slammed it down.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Fists and claws clashed, sending shockwaves surging!
The two exchanged several blows.
Although it was the first time Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they were of one mind and their movements were smooth and their teamwork was quite good.
As Zhao Wuji's massive body was sent flying backward once more, the Hell White Tiger slowly dissipated, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's figures reappeared.
"Good lad!" Zhao Wuji shook his numb arm and said with a wry smile, "Without activating my Martial Soul Avatar, I'm no match for you anymore!"
Dai Mubai felt the surging power within his body. He already possessed the Icefire Body Refinement, the Gengjin White Tiger, and the blessing of the Soul Bone. In terms of personal combat strength alone, he was already close to the Soul Sage.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing unleashed the Hell White Tiger, raising their combat power to a new level, roughly equivalent to High-Rank Soul Sage, or even approaching the Soul Douluo level!
If I could complete my fifth Soul Ring and Zhu Zhuqing's third Soul Ring, I could actually challenge Soul Douluo!
Dai Mubai gripped Zhu Zhuqing's hand tightly, feeling a surge of pride and a sense of great potential!
The group sat around the campfire again, and the aura of those who had been baptized by the Immortal Herb was noticeably different from before.
Ma Hongjun looked refreshed, Oscar was radiant, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were glowing, and even Zhao Wuji seemed to have become much younger.
Dai Mubai's gaze swept over everyone, and he said, "Tomorrow morning, we'll head to the Star Dou Great Forest to first obtain the third Soul Ring for Rongrong and Zhu Qing, and then find my fifth Soul Ring. But before that, I have something else to give you."
As he spoke, Dai Mubai took out several pieces of Whale Rubber from his Storage Ring.
He looked at Ma Hongjun and said, "Fatty, do you remember when I used to buy Whale Rubber in Suotuo City?"
Ma Hongjun said, "I remember, we thought you were... uh, used for that!"
Dai Mubai laughed and said, "To tell you the truth, this Whale Rubber can greatly enhance Soul Master's physique. The stronger the physique, the higher the age of the Soul Ring one can withstand."
He paused, then continued, "My third Soul Ring is 3,500 years old, and my fourth Soul Ring is even 9,000 years old. It's not just because of gravity training. The main reason is that I regularly consume Whale Rubber to temper my body, which allows me to withstand the impact of such high-age Soul Ring."
"Wow!" Ma Hongjun's eyes widened in amazement. "Boss Dai, you've really kept this a secret! You've kept it from us for so long!"
Dai Mubai said solemnly, "This matter is of utmost importance. None of you are to divulge a single word to anyone. Understand?"
Sensing the seriousness in Dai Mubai's tone, Oscar immediately nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, Boss Dai, we know what's important. We'll pretend we don't know the secret of this Whale Rubber."
Zhao Wuji, Ning Rongrong, and Ma Hongjun all nodded in agreement.
Dai Mubai handed the Whale Rubber to the three of them one by one, instructing them, "From now on, Rongrong, Little Ao, and Fatty, you three will take one piece of Millennium Whale Rubber every day. Starting from the next Soul Ring, you can absorb it beyond your lifespan."
"Good!"
The three responded in unison, each rubbing their hands together, eager to try.
Half a month later, deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, on the outskirts of the core area of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Dai Mubai and his group of six hid in a secluded cave, where the atmosphere was relaxed.
Over the past two weeks, they have successively obtained suitable third Soul Ring for Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.
Zhu Zhuqing successfully hunted down a three-thousand-year-old "Lightning Shadow Leopard". This leopard-type Soul Beast was known for its speed and attack power, and it had a very high compatibility with Zhu Zhuqing's Hell Spirit Cat.
The third Soul Skill, "Nether Shadow Step," increases movement speed by 200% and attack power by 100% upon activation.
With the boost from the three-thousand-year Soul Ring and the complete activation of the medicinal power of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power directly broke through to level thirty-eight.
From level 29 to level 38, that's a full nine levels of Soul Power increase—it's unbelievable.
In addition, Ning Rongrong's physique was much weaker than Zhu Zhuqing's. Even with the Whale Rubber tempering her body, the limit of her third Soul Ring could only withstand about 2,300 years.
Ultimately, Dai Mubai chose a "Moonlight Rabbit" for her, whose third Soul Skill was "Three-Day Soul," which increased the Soul Power of teammates by 40%.
Currently, the amplification values of all three Soul Skill of the Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda have been increased to forty percent.
Ning Rongrong's Soul Power also surged, reaching level thirty-six.
The two-thousand-year-old Soul Ring, combined with the medicinal power of the Aromatic Silk Beauty, increased her Soul Power by a total of eight levels.
Now, only Dai Mubai hasn't obtained his fifth Soul Ring yet! His goal is a fifth Soul Ring that's around 40,000 years old.
A 40,000-year-old Soul Beast's strength is already close to that of High-Rank Soul Sage, or even Soul Douluo.
With Zhao Wuji to withstand the attack head-on, a Martial Soul Fusion Skill as a trump card, and Oscar's Swift Flight Sausage as an escape tool, the group dared to come to the core area.
The Star Dou Great Forest is divided into: the outer area, the mixed area, the core area, and the central area.
The outer area is filled with Soul Beast that are hundreds or thousands of years old, while the mixed area is Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Only in the core area can you find Soul Beast that are over 30,000 years old. Usually, you need to be at least Soul Sage to dare to go deep into it!
Even with Zhao Wuji present, Dai Mubai and the others did not dare to venture too deep, but merely wandered around the outer perimeter of the core area.
The central area is filled with Soul Beast that are over 70,000 years old, or even 100,000 years old. Only those accompanied by Titled Douluo dare to enter.
