He magnified the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Martial Soul in his hand several times, and the golden flower unfurled each petal in the sunlight.
The flower's stamen faced the Ghost Shadow, and a small golden energy ball condensed at the tip of each petal.
Dozens of golden energy orbs were launched simultaneously, intertwining and colliding with the Shadow Ball in mid-air.
Gold and black intertwined, explosions rang out continuously, and the entire square was illuminated by the two colors of light.
However, in terms of agility, Ghost Shadow is still superior.
Some of the Shadow Ball pierced through the golden energy orbs' interception and struck Yue Guan.
Although his Indestructible Vajra Body physique blocked most of the impact, it still made him groan and show a slight pain in his face.
Upon seeing this, the Gui Mei immediately canceled the release of his Soul Skill, and in a flash, he was already in front of Yue Guan.
"How is it?" The Gui Mei voice was a bit more urgent than usual.
Yue Guan looked up, saw his unusually tense expression, and shook her head with a smile, "It's alright, I can withstand this level of power."
He brushed the dust off his clothes. "Don't forget, I've consumed quite a bit of Xiao Yuan's stuff these past two years."
"I've now reached the Invulnerable Body."
The Gui Mei, confirming he was alright, breathed a slight sigh of relief, "That's good."
Bibi Dong, feeling that the sparring session was about over, said, "Let's end this sparring session here."
"It seems you've really mastered Xiao Yuan's Self-Created Soul Skill."
Judging from the battle just now, both Gui Mei and Yue Guan have significantly increased their attack power after applying the energy ball to their group attack Soul Skill.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei nodded simultaneously. "Yes, Your His Holiness the Pope."
Bibi Dong turned to look at Ghost Leopard and Ling Yuan: "What do you think of their Self-Created Soul Skill?"
Ghost Leopard respectfully replied, " Your His Holiness the Pope, in terms of power, it is indeed quite impressive, elevating the original Soul Skill's power to a whole new level."
"If this energy ball were a little bigger, its power would definitely be comparable to the Eighth Soul Skill of most Titled Douluo."
Ling Yuan nodded in agreement. " Your His Holiness the Pope, I think so too."
Bibi Dong said, "In that case, you two should find some time to learn from them."
"This move was created by my disciple Gui Yuan. Remember, only the two of you can learn it; you must not reveal it to the other Titled Douluo in the Elders' Hall."
Ghost Leopard and Ling Yuan solemnly replied, "Yes, Your His Holiness the Pope."
They naturally understood what Bibi Dong meant.
There are still many Titled Douluo in the Elders' Hall who do not obey Bibi Dong's orders, such as Demon Bear and Sea Turtle.
Those elders were nominally under the jurisdiction of the Pope's Palace, but in reality, they only obeyed the orders of the Worship Hall.
Bibi Dong continued, "Also, you two should tell them about the method of condensing Soul Core; it can be used to improve their strength."
Ghost Leopard and Ling Yuan were completely baffled—what was Soul Core?
But seeing the surprised expressions on Yue Guan and Gui Mei's faces, they knew in their hearts that this thing was probably even more precious than the Self-Created Soul Skill they had just created.
Bibi Dong didn't say anything more and turned to walk back to the Pope's Palace.
Only four people remained in the square.
Ghost Leopard couldn't help but step forward and ask, " Yue Guan, Gui Mei, what exactly is this Soul Core that His Holiness the Pope mentioned?"
Yue Guan said calmly, " Soul Core is a crystallization that can enhance the Soul Power endurance of Titled Douluo."
" Old Ghost and I also advanced from Level 95 Titled Douluo to Level 96 Peak Douluo using this method."
Gui Mei added from the side, "Condensing Soul Core generally allows a Titled Douluo to increase their Soul Power by one level, which is especially helpful in breaking through the bottleneck from Level 95 to Level 96."
Ghost Leopard and Ling Yuan exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
The combined effect of increasing one level of Soul Power and breaking through a bottleneck is enough to tempt any Titled Douluo.
Especially Ghost Leopard, he's currently Level 95. If he successfully condenses his Soul Core, could he break through to Level 96, the Peak Douluo?!
Yue Guan's expression suddenly turned serious. "You also cannot discuss this method with the other elders in the Elders' Hall."
"This is a major secret of the Spirit Hall. To tell you the truth, six months ago, Great Enshrined of the Worship Hall condensed their Soul Core, and their strength has increased."
"It is precisely for this reason that they set off as a group to explore the Far North and search for Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
Ling Yuan, who had been listening nearby, suddenly seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but say, " Yue Guan, don't tell me that the method of condensing the Soul Core was also proposed by your adopted son?"
Yue Guan first showed a smug look, then corrected, "What adoption son? He's my and Old Ghost's son."
Ghost Leopard couldn't help but complain, "Wasn't he created using the bloodline power of both of you? He wasn't born from you or Gui Mei."
"Is there a difference?" The Gui Mei gaze suddenly turned dangerous as it stared Youyou at the Ghost Leopard.
Ghost Leopard's lips twitched, and he quickly waved his hand. "There's no difference, no difference, he's your son, okay?"
Ling Yuan stood quietly to the side, watching the three argue without saying a word.
She thought to herself, with Gui Yuan's appearance that inherited the characteristics of both Yue Guan and Gui Mei, if he stood up and said that he was Yue Guan and Gui Mei's adopted son, probably no one would believe him.
You can tell whose son it is just by looking at that face.
Ling Yuan had been working under Bibi Dong for the past six months, so she had naturally met Gui Yuan.
This little boy left a deep impression. Despite his young age, he was as composed as a child. He was meticulous in his speech and actions, and his strength was also extremely high. It was hard to imagine that he was actually a Food System Soul Ancestor!
She had also heard about the origin of Gui Yuan, which was obtained by Yue Guan and Gui Mei when they were caught in a strange valley while on a mission a few years ago.
The environment of that valley was not like what one would expect in the Douluo Continent.
Therefore, the Spirit Hall has always suspected that there is another continent in this world.
After all, more than a decade ago, the Spirit Hall had already set sail and discovered Sea God Island, which resulted in heavy losses and the deaths of two Titled Douluo.
However, despite the Spirit Hall's continuous dispatch of Soul Master to explore the seas over the years, they have yet to find anything and have not discovered any signs of a second continent.
This is quite normal, after all, the Sea Soul Beast in the deep sea are tens of thousands of years old, and ordinary ships simply cannot withstand them.
Moreover, most of the Soul Master in the Spirit Hall are not water-absorbing, so if they encounter these ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast, unless they can fly, they are basically doomed.
Then, as the four walked, Yue Guan explained the principles of the energy ball and the Soul Core to the two of them.
After a moment, Ghost Leopard was starting to question his own existence, "... How exactly is your son's brain structured?"
