Solar Eclipse and Waning Moon

*He reattached Xiong Jun's severed arms in an instant and even healed his injuries. Could Hell be a god from the legends?

Surely only a god could accomplish something like that so effortlessly?*

Yan Shaozhe stared at the fully recovered Xiong Jun in shock, unable to help wondering.

He had already witnessed the power of a Limit Douluo. Mu En was a powerful Limit Douluo himself.

But overpowering Xiong Jun in an instant, shaving off the incomparably tough fur covering his body, severing both his arms, and defeating Di Tian in a single move—that was beyond what a Limit Douluo could do.

At the very least, even a hundred healthy Mu Ens together might not be able to defeat Di Tian.

By now, he too had been utterly won over by Hell's strength and had given up trying to figure out where Hell had come from.

He even felt an impulse to abandon every woman he had ever loved and give up his position as dean of Shrek Academy to follow that man unconditionally.

Meanwhile, Xiong Jun had resumed his human form and retreated to a corner where he thought no one could see him to brood.

A human had easily defeated him in an instant, and he hadn't even felt a thing during the defeat. His opponent had then casually healed his grievous injuries so he could fight a second round.

Though Xiong Jun was unwilling to admit it, he understood that he had been utterly defeated—and that defeat had shattered his heart.

As for Di Tian, Hell had also healed him completely through Cellular Recombination. Hell had treated not only the fresh wounds he had just inflicted, but also the old injuries Di Tian had accumulated over many years.

"Thank you for sparing my life, my lord." Di Tian bowed respectfully to Hell.

By now, he understood that Hell was not a bloodthirsty man. Otherwise, not only he himself, but even his master would probably have been unable to escape death.

Leaving everything else aside, the Solar Eclipse Sword Technique alone had convinced Di Tian that even his revered master could not withstand it. She probably wouldn't even have a chance to be gravely injured before becoming an unprecedented Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

"All right, can you now consider finding a suitable Soul Ring for Jingtian?

"Of course, if you still want to fight, I'll gladly keep you company. That includes the Silver Dragon who's deliberately hiding her true body's location and using only her spiritual power to spy on us."

Hell returned to Bai Jingtian's side and looked toward the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest with an air of ease.

"I didn't expect your strength to be so exceptional. In that case, we of the Star Dou Great Forest must naturally show our appreciation.

"Di Tian, go and select a suitable Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for that young man."

Realizing she had been discovered, the Silver Dragon King hurriedly sent the message with her spiritual power.

Just now, a strange idea had suddenly popped into her head: she could deliberately provoke Hell, have him hang her up and beat her, and then accept his treatment.

That way, perhaps the injuries the Asura God King had inflicted on her back then could be completely healed as well.

But after indulging in the fantasy for a few seconds, she had suddenly been jolted out of it by Hell's scrutiny and broken out in a cold sweat.

She had suddenly seen a completely different future: Hell did not heal her old injuries, but instead left her with many brand-new wounds that could never be healed, turning her into a disabled Silver Dragon King.

Even if she were lucky enough to become the Dragon God someday, those injuries would not heal.

I was so stupid, really. How could I have such a naive idea...

After confirming that Di Tian had obediently gone to look for a Soul Beast, the Silver Dragon King thought back with lingering fear.

At that moment, she suddenly felt that quite a few of her present and past actions, as well as some of her plans for the future, had numerous problems—and that was only what she had found from a cursory look back.

Why was I so stupid in the past?!

Di Tian worked with remarkable efficiency. Within a quarter of an hour, he had found a suitable Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for Bai Jingtian.

Bai Jingtian wasted no time. He killed it at once and began absorbing its Soul Ring.

In his Sea of Consciousness, faced with the Soul Shock of the Jade Demon Thunderbird, which had thirteen thousand years of cultivation, Bai Jingtian merely gave a cold laugh. A Hell Battle Mark appeared on his forehead.

"Your remnant soul will be perfect for testing Senior Hell's ultimate technique!

"This is my Sea of Consciousness. Here, I'm invincible!

"Sword of Hell, Waning Moon!"

A longsword appeared in Bai Jingtian's hand, then sped straight toward the Jade Demon Thunderbird like a ghost.

Unlike the all-encompassing attacks of the Solar Eclipse Sword Technique, the Waning Moon Sword Technique made the sword in Bai Jingtian's hand seem to possess a mind of its own. It went straight for the Jade Demon Thunderbird's weakness, shattering its already fragile defenses.

The Jade Demon Thunderbird's soul was fragile to begin with. Under Bai Jingtian's assault, it had no chance to unleash its proudest attack before his blows shattered its soul completely, making it a part of his power.

Half an hour later, Bai Jingtian opened his eyes again. Feeling how much the Soul Power within him had increased, he smiled with satisfaction.

Although absorbing a Soul Ring of such a high age had not raised his Soul Power by any extra levels, it was enough for him to break through his current bottleneck and continue practicing Hell-Style Martial Arts and Sea Tiger Martial Arts.

"All right, Jingtian. It's time to take that dean of yours and leave this place."

Hell nodded slightly as he spoke to Bai Jingtian.

But just before they could take the still somewhat dazed Yan Shaozhe away, the Silver Dragon King's voice suddenly rang out again:

"Would you agree to a small request of mine?"

"Oh? Go ahead, Silver Dragon."

Hell asked, somewhat surprised. At the same time, he had a feeling that the Silver Dragon King seemed less disagreeable to him now.

At first, the Silver Dragon King had given him a feeling somewhat similar to the one Lan Meng gave him, leaving Hell worried that Bai Jingtian's appearance on the Douluo Continent might be part of Lan Meng's scheme.

But now that feeling had faded somewhat. Though Hell still didn't quite understand, he could feel a little more at ease.

"Could you let the Emperor Auspicious Beast accompany that young man to gain experience in the human world?"

As soon as the Silver Dragon King finished speaking, the Emperor Auspicious Beast, several Ferocious Beasts present, Yan Shaozhe, and Bai Jingtian all cried out in bewilderment.

"Th-this is a matter of great importance. I need to report it to the master of the Sea God Pavilion..."

Yan Shaozhe looked nervously at Hell, stumbling over his words.

He now fully understood the Emperor Auspicious Beast's importance, and precisely because of that, he did not dare let her enter the human world so readily.

Perhaps Shrek Academy could treat the Emperor Auspicious Beast with respect and use its influence to ensure that no one in the three empires of the Douluo Continent set their sights on her.

But what if she ran into Soul Engineers from the Sun Moon Empire, the lunatics from the Body Sect, or Evil Soul Masters...

"Master, why do you want the Auspicious Beast to go to the human world? The human world is extremely dangerous..."

Di Tian knelt on one knee, facing the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, and asked respectfully.
