Hope of Restoring His Cultivation!
"That vixen said the Pope wants me to go with her to the Star Dou Great Forest on a mission, along with Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing. I... I don't want to go with her. You... you're not on the mission list. Do you have another mission? Could you take me with you? Of course, don't get the wrong idea. I didn't contact you because I wanted to be alone with you. I... I'm just worried you might not be strong enough on your own. It would be bad if you couldn't complete the mission..."
It was already evening. After leaving the Pope's Palace, Yu Tianshuang missed dinner. Fortunately, the thoughtful Ye Lingling had already prepared a meal in his room. As he ate, he pondered the task Bibi Dong had given him and the intricate connections between them. There was a knock on the door, and Huo Wu, dressed in a red and gold dress, walked in somewhat Huo Wu, clutching the hem of her dress, and then spoke.
Yu Tianshuang was somewhat surprised. Huo Wu looked different from Huo Wu during the day. Her short, rose-red hair was styled beautifully and dazzlingly. Her fair and delicate face was flushed, and her already sexy and rosy lips were now adorned with lipstick that looked as sensual as Lie Yan. It was clear from her clothes, makeup, and hair that she had carefully dressed up before coming.
"Why do you call Bibi Dong' sister'? She's just the right age to be your mother... And how did you manage to get so close to her while I was away, even calling her 'sister'..."
Yu Tianshuang knew that Huo Wu joined the Spirit Hall after she and Hu Liena entered the Slaughter City. Counting the time, it had been about a year and a half. What exactly happened during this time that allowed her to cultivate so quickly? Although her Martial Soul had evolved because of the Immortal Herb she had given her, she and Hu Liena had absorbed a lot of Soul Power in the Slaughter City, and only now had they reached the Soul Emperor level.
"Hmm... it's not a dangerous mission, and besides me, the Elder Hall is also sending Ling Yuan Douluo along. Once we reach the Heaven Dou Empire, Snake Lance Douluo will provide support. If we don't reach an agreement and a battle breaks out, frankly, you, a Soul Emperor, won't be of much use. If it were Lingling or Rongrong, it would be fine, but you, a powerful attacker..."
Yu Tianshuang stared at Huo Wu in a daze for a while. Today, Huo Wu was no longer the spoiled brat she used to be. Her Huo Wu, who had been shyly and hesitantly lowering her head, suddenly raised it, her eyebrows furrowed, and she glared fiercely at Yu Tianshuang. His words were immediately stopped by that gaze.
"Let me tell you what it means to be a Soul Emperor. A year and a half ago, when I came to the Spirit Hall, I was just a Soul King, yet I still managed to make Chrysanthemum Douluo disheveled. Now that I've advanced to Soul Emperor, in terms of attack power alone, my full-force strike won't lose to yours. Don't think that only you can fight beyond your level. Don't forget, you learned your Ring Fusion and Ring Fusion from me. Of course, I'm not saying I absolutely have to go with you, but I feel you definitely need me. After all, if we go to the Tiandou Empire, my Huo Family still has some influence. You, don't overthink it. It's you who needs me, not me begging you. Remember that..."
If Yu Tianshuang still couldn't understand what Huo Wu was trying to say, then all those years she'd spent at the Skywater Academy had been for nothing. Actually, Huo Wu's personality was somewhat similar to Senior Sister Bing'er's; both were a bit hypocritical. However, unlike Senior Sister Bing'er, who would clearly want you to do something but wouldn't say it aloud, letting you guess until she was satisfied, Huo Wu would say it directly. But even though she clearly wanted it that way, her words had a kind of endearing self-deception.
"Oh, right, speaking of which, my ability to fight opponents of higher levels is indeed thanks to the Ring Fusion and Ring Fusion you taught me. Hmm... Since this journey may be extremely dangerous, and my strength isn't very high, then I'll trouble Miss Huo Wu to accompany me."
In truth, Huo Wu's talent is the best he's ever seen besides Senior Sister Bing'er. Not only is she exceptionally gifted, able to use Ring Fusion and Ring Fusion, but her control over flames is also unmatched. In terms of the precision of her mastery of her own attributes, no one of her peers can compare to her. Apart from the Martial Soul Martial Soul n't a top-tier one, she's practically the best he's ever seen among her generation. Purely in terms of talent, even Tang San isn't her match. And now that her biggest weakness has been eliminated, her confidence is indeed well-deserved.
"Hmph! Since you've invited me so sincerely, then this young lady will have no choice but to reluctantly agree, hmph!"
Huo Wu's previously raised eyebrows relaxed, and she raised her head with her arms crossed over her chest, looking as cute as a proud little kitten. Yu Tianshuang couldn't help but reach out and touch her soft, short hair.
"What... what are you doing..."
Huo Wu felt the warmth from above her head, and her face was only an arm's length away from Yu Tianshuang's. Her pretty face flushed red instantly. She said something in a weak voice, then quickly lowered her head, not wanting her to see her face, which looked like it was dripping Blood One. After stammering, she pushed him away and ran out.
As Yu Tianshuang watched Huo Wu's Huo Wu figure leave, he suddenly felt that she was actually quite cute. Although she was a bit spoiled, she and Rongrong had both grown up being pampered like stars since childhood. However, they were actually very kind-hearted, and they dared to love and hate, and were straightforward. Moreover, he was very moved by this girl who had come from afar to find him.
"Snow Silence Without Dust!"
Ever since his battle with Thunder Rhino Douluo, and after using Snow Silence Without Dust for the first time, he felt a Sisi of True Qi remaining in his body. He felt as if he had seen hope. If he could really convert all his Soul Power, with his current sixth level of Frozen Sky Condensing Sea Art Technique, which is equivalent to the Golden Core Stage stage, even the strongest person he had ever seen, Bibi Dong, would not be his match. Strength is always the greatest voice in this world.
The Frozen Sky Condensing Sea Art has ten levels, each corresponding to one of the ten realms of cultivators. It is a top-tier Heaven-level technique that can be directly cultivated to the Mahayana stage. The realms of cultivators are divided as follows: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Heart Movement, Core Formation, Core Formation, Golden Core, Nascent Soul Spirit Transformation, Tribulation Crossing, Mahayana.
When he participated in the sect competition in his previous life, his cultivation level was that of a true Golden Core Stage cultivator. Recalling the power of the Daoist arts he unleashed in his previous life, he felt an overwhelming sense of nostalgia.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
After entering the state of Snow Silence Without Dust, having exhausted all his Soul Power, he silently examined the Sisi True Qi that had grown within his body, and sighed in despair. The True Qi converted from consuming all his Soul Power in one go was only one ten-thousandth...
It's important to understand that when Snow Silence Without Dust activates his skill, he doesn't immediately deplete all his Soul Power. Instead, he continuously consumes it, and his Soul Power recovers quickly. The Soul Power consumed in one go, plus the recovered amount, is actually equivalent to one and a half times his original amount—one ten-thousandth of his original amount each time. And he can't switch every day; he often needs to maintain a sufficient supply of Soul Power. It seems that the path of this switch is truly long and arduous.
