The Divine Heaven Skill's Power of Assimilation

Ma Xiaotao's blunt words caught Cai Mei'er off guard. Her elegant, mature face flushed red in an instant!

Dongfang Hao's handsome, resolute face surfaced unbidden in her mind, along with the memory of how, above the clouds, the young man had buried his face in her bosom without a shred of restraint...

"Xiaotao! Don't... don't talk nonsense, you impudent brat!"

Cai Mei'er trembled with embarrassment. Her beautiful eyes widened, and she raised a hand to slap Ma Xiaotao's pert backside. But her unsteady breathing and reddened ears betrayed every bit of turmoil in the level ninety-five Titled Douluo's heart.

"Hee hee, Dean Cai, don't try to hide it from me. We're both women. How could I not see it?"

Ma Xiaotao giggled and rubbed her backside. Then resolve flashed through her eyes. She lowered her voice and whispered persuasively into Cai Mei'er's ear:

"If that's what he likes, why don't we give him exactly what he wants... a beauty trap!"

"Nonsense! Utterly absurd!"

Cai Mei'er scolded her on instinct, her face stern. "You're a senior disciple of the inner court, the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils, and a future successor of the academy. How could you do something so sordid? Have you no sense of propriety?!"

"Oh, my dear dean! Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures!"

Far from retreating, Ma Xiaotao coiled around Cai Mei'er like a water snake. Her long, warm arms wrapped around Cai Mei'er's full, mature waist from behind, and she pressed her wild, beautiful face against the other woman's neck. Her breath was soft as she gave a wicked little laugh.

"Xiaotao alone might not be enough to tame that ravenous little wolf... but what if you joined me, Dean Cai? A beautiful, mature vice dean whose name is known across the continent... what if we worked together?"

Boom!

Her words struck like thunder from a clear sky, exploding deep in Cai Mei'er's already tumultuous mind!

The two of them working together?!

The absurd thought nearly made the mature woman, who had guarded her chastity for decades, faint from shame!

"You wretched girl! You... you've truly gone mad!!"

Inside the secret chamber of the Quiet Pavilion.

Dongfang Hao sat with his eyes closed. The supreme method he had obtained through the system's tenfold enhancement—the Divine Heaven Record—flowed smoothly through every part of his body.

When he had suppressed Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire earlier, the violent clash had left his meridians somewhat numb and aching. But the results had been gratifying.

In less than half an hour, his Soul Power had leapt three levels, surging straight from level twenty to level twenty-three!

Across the entire Douluo Continent, that speed would have left not only his peers speechless, but even the haughty monsters of the Shrek Inner Court staring with their jaws practically dislocated.

"Whew..."

As the Divine Heaven Skill completed a full circulation, Dongfang Hao slowly exhaled a stream of white breath. It shot several feet through the air like a sharp sword before gradually dissipating.

His limbs, which had felt somewhat drained, were once again filled with abundant, forceful power.

"The second layer of the Divine Heaven Skill really is wondrous beyond compare..."

Dongfang Hao slowly opened his eyes. Heat flashed through their depths, and a grin spread across his face.

According to the Divine Heaven Record, the first three layers of this supreme divine art all belonged to the realm of Qi Condensation Return to Origin.

Soul Power at that realm had already shed its ordinary nature and transformed into the supreme Divine Heaven Soul Power.

Not only was this Soul Power several times more concentrated and explosive than that of an ordinary prodigy, its most heaven-defying trait was its ability to embrace and transform other powers like the sea receiving a hundred rivers!

Earlier, despite being far weaker than Ma Xiaotao, he had not been injured by her level sixty-four Evil Fire. Instead, he had turned the tables and used the Soul Emperor's power at her core to break through repeatedly. That was thanks not only to the Divine Ice Martial Soul's natural restraint, but also to the domineering assimilation of a God-Level method like the Divine Heaven Skill!

Hiss, hiss!

At a thought, Dongfang Hao slowly extended his right hand. The once-docile dark-gold Soul Power in his dantian Qi Sea trembled. Transformed by the Divine Heaven Skill, a fist-sized mass of violent, deep-red flame suddenly rose from his palm!

The flames roiled, radiating the same fierce heat as Ma Xiaotao's. Even the hard stone walls around him began to creak faintly under its scorching touch.

Then Dongfang Hao raised his left hand. Extreme cold surged within him, and a current of bone-chilling, pale Divine Ice swept out like an enraged dragon leaving its cave. It wrapped around his entire left arm, freezing the moisture in the air into fine ice crystals in an instant.

Raging fire in his right hand, bone-deep ice in his left!

Ice and fire coexisted, perfectly harmonized by the Divine Heaven Skill within him, neither interfering with the other!

"Fire in one hand, ice in the other... the Divine Heaven Skill is terrifying!"

Dongfang Hao gazed at the two colors glowing in his palms, his eyelids twitching twice. Then he clenched his hands and forced both masses of fearsome energy back inside.

But recovering his Soul Power had only been incidental to this secluded session. Dongfang Hao knew exactly what mattered most right now.

"The Purple Extremity Divine Eyes..."

Dongfang Hao murmured the name to himself, his gaze suddenly deepening with eagerness.

His purpose in insisting on mastering this Pupil Technique before going to the Treasure Appraisal Fair was perfectly clear.

First, with the perception and penetrating sight that could see through all false appearances, he could be certain of finding that supreme Whale Rubber—the piece the Treasure Gathering Pavilion had mistaken for ordinary thousand-year impurities, though it actually concealed ten thousand years of miraculous potency!

And second...

Dongfang Hao could not help licking his lips.

He had never forgotten the second God-Level Soul Skill he had obtained when he fused with the ten-million-year Divine Dream Ice Silkworm: Spiritual Sharing, the enhanced version!

Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sharing merely gave his teammates a radar-like field of vision. Dongfang Hao's ten-million-year enhanced version, once his Divine Sense and ocular power reached a terrifying level, could directly take control of a target's brain and bodily movements in reverse!

Just imagine: if he mastered that ability someday, he could use it on the proud, unruly Ma Xiaotao, the gentle and serene senior disciple Zhang Lexuan, even the elegant Vice Dean of the Martial Soul Department, Cai Mei'er, and later the Snow Empress and Ice Empress of the Far North...

With the slightest movement of his Divine Sense, he could make those peerless beauties, once so far above him, serve him with infatuated looks on their faces...

At the thought of that alluring, thrilling scene, even Dongfang Hao, resolute as he was, felt a surge of scorching Evil Fire rise in his lower abdomen!

"The world's most beautiful women and supreme power—since heaven has let me live another life, I'll take them all! Greed is the instinct of the strong!"

Dongfang Hao grinned, then drew a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the stray thought. He formed a cultivation seal with his hands before his chest.

The tenfold-enhanced supreme Pupil Technique recorded in the Divine Heaven Record—the Purple Extremity Divine Eyes—roared into motion!
