Hearing Electrolux's threatening instructions, Zhang Lexuan and the Scarlet King hurriedly and nervously replied in unison, "Yes, Elder Yi, Lord Electrolux."
"Alright, as long as you don't tell anyone, I won't do anything to you. Miss Zhang Lexuan, let Qian Chen pick me up and take me back. I've used up enough energy today," Electrolux said.
"Yes."
Zhang Lexuan left her Sea of Consciousness and saw Qian Chen watching her from a short distance away. Seeing that Zhang Lexuan had opened her eyes, Qian Chen immediately went to Zhang Lexuan and asked, " Lexuan, how are you?"
Zhang Lexuan said, "Very good. Qian Chen, take Elder Yi Elder Yi back first; he's already tired today."
"Okay." After Qian Chen agreed, he pressed his forehead against Zhang Lexuan's, successfully bringing Electrolux back. He asked again, " Lexuan, what kind of thing did Elder Yi come up with this time?"
Zhang Lexuan smiled slightly and said, "Watch closely." Then, nine Soul Ring— yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, red, red, red—flashed beneath her feet!
"How could this be!" Qian Chen exclaimed in surprise.
"This is naturally Elder Yi's divine intervention. But Qian Chen, Elder Yi just instructed us that he comes from another plane and doesn't want anyone to know that he's in the Douluo Continent," Zhang Lexuan cautioned. "If you have any questions, go ask Elder Yi."
Then Zhang Lexuan released the Scarlet King. "Haha, I'm still alive! I can reappear in this world!" The Scarlet King shouted happily as soon as Zhang Lexuan summoned it.
However, the Scarlet King could also sense the difference within himself. His current body was not made of flesh and blood, but rather formed from Soul Power. Although it was not as strong as his original body, it still possessed the strength of Titled Douluo. Moreover, the Scarlet King sensed that Zhang Lexuan's strength had increased, and he could also strengthen himself further.
When he thought of this method and knew he had to send it back to the Star Dou Great Forest to tell Di Tian as soon as possible, for some reason, he subconsciously felt that he had to get Zhang Lexuan's consent. Moreover, if Zhang Lexuan did not agree, even if Di Tian stood in front of him, the Scarlet King could not say a word.
The Scarlet King instantly understood; this was due to the Soul Contract. Zhang Lexuan had given him a place for his soul to reside, and in return, he had to give Zhang Lexuan absolute loyalty and acknowledge her as his master. Of course, he also had the right to refuse if Zhang Lexuan forced him to do things that went against his conscience and harmed his own race.
After thinking about it, the Scarlet King concluded that it was fairly fair, since Zhang Lexuan, the host, had indeed saved his life.
" Scarlet King, how are you feeling?" Zhang Lexuan asked.
"Master, I feel great. This body, formed from Soul Power, can't unleash my 300,000 years of combat strength, but I can still exert the power of an ordinary Titled Douluo," the Scarlet King replied.
"That's good. Whether you want to Soul Ring today or stay outside is up to you," Zhang Lexuan instructed the Scarlet King.
"Then I'll go play around for a bit. I want to test out this Soul Power body. Master, by the way, the Soul Bone is still inside my body, remember to take it out," the Scarlet King reminded him.
"Alright, go try out your new body over there."
After the Scarlet King had gone some distance and was testing its new body, Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan came to the already broken body. Qian Chen probed the Scarlet King's remains with his Soul Power and quickly discovered that the Scarlet King had actually condensed a Head Soul Bone with Mental Attribute. He took out the spiritual Head Soul Bone Head Soul Bone, which was crystal clear and incomparably beautiful.
" Lexuan, this skull is quite good! You should absorb it," Qian Chen said.
Zhang Lexuan looked at Qian Chen Qian Chen, feeling truly grateful. Without Qian Chen's companionship, how could she have obtained such an opportunity? However, since she was already Qian Chen's woman, there was no need to be polite. She said, "Okay."
Zhang Lexuan immediately took the Scarlet King's spiritual Head Soul Bone, placed it on her forehead, and began to absorb it.
When Qian Chen saw Zhang Lexuan begin absorbing the Soul Bone, he sat down again to guard Zhang Lexuan. After a long time, the Scarlet King returned. Seeing Zhang Lexuan absorbing the Soul Bone, it curled up and lay down like a pet dog.
Qian Chen sighed inwardly, thinking that his wife was about to become a woman who kept fierce dogs. Just as Qian Chen was lost in thought, three powerful mental fluctuations spread out from Zhang Lexuan's body.
Startled, Qian Chen and the Scarlet King both stood up. At that moment, Zhang Lexuan also opened her eyes. Excitedly, Zhang Lexuan ran to Qian Chen Qian Chen, hugged him tightly, and exclaimed, " Qian Chen, I did it! I absorbed the Scarlet King's Head Soul Bone!"
Qian Chen hugged Zhang Lexuan back and said with a smile, " Lexuan, is the Soul Bone you absorbed very powerful? I see you're so excited."
Zhang Lexuan said excitedly, "Yes, this Head Soul Bone is really powerful. It gave me a passive Soul Skill called Three-Headed Exquisiteness. First of all, it's mental defense. This is a defensive mental skill that can directly increase my mental defense by three times, and it doesn't consume Soul Power. It's passively active all day long."
"Impressive skill," Qian Chen praised.
"Not only that!" Zhang Lexuan continued excitedly, "From now on, whatever I do, whether it's cultivation or handling official business, once I focus, my efficiency will triple, it's like three of me doing the same thing!"
Qian Chen was taken aback. Wasn't this just a low-end version of his three activated Sea of Consciousness? However, the Scarlet King's Head Soul Bone could only focus on one thing at a time and couldn't be used for different tasks. Qian Chen turned to look at the Scarlet King's three heads and instantly felt it made sense.
" Qian Chen, I'm going to cultivate diligently when I get back. With focused cultivation, one day of my cultivation will be equivalent to three days for others. I'm confident I can reach the Limit Douluo within fifteen years!" Zhang Lexuan said excitedly.
After hearing this, Qian Chen did not refute Zhang Lexuan, but was happy for Zhang Lexuan in his heart. He sighed inwardly: the combined effect of the three people is not just one plus one plus one equals three, but is even stronger.
Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan continued to hug, with Zhang Lexuan repeatedly expressing her gratitude to Qian Chen Qian Chen, who responded with heartfelt words, their affectionate display spreading like wildfire. The Scarlet King was incredibly frustrated; it had provided both the Soul Ring and the Soul Bone, and now it could only watch its master's public display of affection. Frustrated, it transformed into a streak of red light and returned to Zhang Lexuan's Soul Spirit Soul Ring.
Afterwards, Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan spent about three days alone in the Undead Demiplane. Time in this demiplane is different from that in the Douluo Continent, so Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan could only estimate the time.
" Qian Chen, when are we going back? I don't think those Evil Soul Master can stay in the Star Dou Great Forest forever," Zhang Lexuan asked.
"Yes, I'll go ask Elder Yi right away."
"Hmm, go ask Elder Yi."
The next moment, Qian Chen appeared in his Sea of Consciousness: " Elder Yi, I've come to see you about something."
"Hmm, you want to go back to the Douluo Continent, don't you?" Electrolux asked, appearing beside Qian Chen.
"Yes, Elder Yi."
"You should know about my warning to Zhang Lexuan and the Scarlet King, right? There needs to be a reasonable explanation for where the Scarlet King's Soul Spirit came from."
Qian Chen nodded, then quickly activated his three Sea of Consciousness, beginning to consider how to explain this to the outside world.
At this point, Electrolux continued, "I've finished perfecting the Soul Spirit Method these past few days, and I've decided to give it to you as is. Consider this method a secret technique passed down through your family."
