Chapter 128: Divine Skills.
Xiao Fei looked at the massive red-gray spirit ring before him, but didn't rush to absorb it. Instead, he carefully observed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse.
Logically, a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast would produce a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone. He wondered what the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's spirit bone would look like. Xiao Fei untied the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse, but surprisingly, there was no spirit bone.
Suddenly, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's body seemed to shrivel, and a gray bead flew out from its head.
A crack appeared in the sky, and the bead flew towards it.
Xiao Fei had been waiting for this moment. His right hand instantly turned golden, and all the spirit rings on it lit up. Xiao Fei grabbed the bead as fast as he could. Finally, he caught the bead before it flew into the crack.
From his right hand, the gray bead emanated a gray aura, seemingly corrupting everything around it. Fortunately, Xiao Fei's right hand was strong enough to avoid being corrupted by the bead.
"It must be the legendary Evil God Pearl. Legend has it that the Evil God Pearl contains a shattered divine throne."
Xiao Fei examined the pearl carefully, its aura brimming with evil.
Xiao Fei thought to himself: Under normal circumstances, a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast is bound to produce a soul bone. This is one of the rules of Douluo Continent. It makes no sense. How could this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger break this rule? Could the Evil God Pearl in my hand actually be considered a soul bone?
Xiao Fei pondered how to store the Evil God Pearl, but ultimately, after much deliberation, he decided to place it in the Vast Sea Cosmic Cover. Only a divine artifact could contain the Evil God Pearl. Besides, Xiao Fei didn't have time to study the Evil God Pearl right now, as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul ring wouldn't last much longer.
Xiao Fei took out the Vast Sea Cosmic Cover, placed the Evil God Pearl inside, and then covered the entire soul ring and the corpse with the Cosmic Cover. He then began absorbing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul ring.
Xiao Fei summoned his Qilin Arm Spirit and slowly channeled the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul ring into his own Qilin Arm Spirit.
The Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's spirit ring instantly brought immense pressure upon Xiao Fei. Xiao Fei felt the pressure was no less than that of a 200,000-year-old Earth Fire Lizard King, and a massive Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger was assaulting his soul.
But then, within his mind, a massive golden arm appeared, like Optimus Prime, grasping at the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's phantom. The shadow was instantly shattered, then transformed into strands of power, merging into Xiao Fei's mind. Xiao Fei's mental strength increased tremendously.
The reddish-gray spirit ring on his arm gradually solidified, eventually becoming a complete one.
Xiao Fei opened his eyes, and a golden light shone from them, as if the universe were being created.
Level 99, Xiao Fei had finally reached it. Xiao Fei looked at his hands and his surroundings. Everything seemed different, clearer and simpler, as if he could see the essence of things.
Xiao Fei thought to himself, "No wonder it's so difficult to break through to level 99. Physical, mental, and soul power are all essential. All three must reach human perfection, becoming almost one with the universe." No wonder Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu were once known as the two peaks of the spirit master world; they truly were two unreachable peaks.
Xiao Fei carefully examined his spirit abilities again, and to his surprise, his seventh spirit ring actually had two spirit abilities. The first was the Spirit Avatar, which also came with a secondary effect: Evil God Sundering.
The second was the Life and Death Arena.
Xiao Fei burst into laughter, a laugh that was a bit uncontrollable and a bit grim. With these two spirit abilities, Xiao Fei was confident he could defeat any Ultimate Douluo. Now, only a god could defeat Xiao Fei.
The Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, worthy of its title as the world's most unique hundred-thousand-year soul beast, was indeed formidable.
Xiao Fei put away the Vast Sea Universe Cover and the Evil God Pearl, strapped the Shura Demon Sword to his back, and headed out of the Star Dou Great Forest. This trip to the Star Dou Great Forest had been equally fruitful.
Since Xiao Fei reached level 99, his soul power had seemed to flow naturally, as if returning to its purest form. He appeared like an ordinary person, without any outward manifestation of soul power.
Xiao Fei felt that any attack he could now perform was no less powerful than that of a ten-thousand-year soul ring, perhaps even more so. No wonder Tang Chen was able to create such divine abilities as the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes and the Great Sumeru Hammer. It turned out that after becoming a peerless Douluo, his soul power seemed to have been fused into every cell, his spirit and self becoming one. As Yang Wudi had said, he had completely understood his spirit.
Xiao Fei even suspected that, with enough strength, he could condense his last two spirit rings on his own. Xiao Fei couldn't help but think of Bibi Dong and Tang San, the other two twin spirit masters. Their spirit rings seemed inferior to his own, and Tang San had only reached level 99 via his second spirit's ninth spirit ring. There seemed to be a discrepancy.
Xiao Fei's sixth spirit ring had reached the 100,000-year level after undergoing a divine test. While a normal 100,000-year spirit ring differs significantly from a 10,000-year spirit ring, the divine test certainly increases the ring's age and the power of its spirit abilities, it's still a significant difference from a true 100,000-year spirit ring. The simplest explanation is that a normal 100,000-year spirit ring possesses two spirit abilities, and its power has also undergone a significant transformation.
This time, Xiao Fei's departure from the Star Dou Great Forest was swift; in less than ten days, he had returned to the Elemental Academy.
Upon his arrival, Yang Wudi and Niu Gao immediately approached him. They explained that they had already found 1,000 prisoners in cities near the Slaughter City and were offering them to the Slaughter King.
However, judging by their expressions, they both seemed uneasy. It seemed likely that the Clear Sky Sect's men would target them, especially since they knew Tang Chen, the Clear Sky Sect's greatest supporter, was still alive.
After chatting with the two for a while, Yang Wudi looked at Xiao Fei and felt that something seemed off about Xiao Fei, but he couldn't figure out what.
"Xiao Fei, is there something wrong with you? Why do you feel a little strange? You don't look like a Level 98 Titled Douluo, more like an ordinary person."
Xiao Fei simply smiled softly and said nothing. A thought suddenly struck Yang Wudi: "Are you already Level 99? Have you been away for over a month this time? Have you been acquiring spirit rings again?"
Xiao Fei smiled faintly, revealing his Qilin Arm spirit, and seven red spirit rings instantly appeared on his body. However, unlike before, this time, he didn't put any pressure on those around him; everything seemed completely natural.
Yang Wudi was indeed an expert in martial arts research. He carefully examined Xiao Fei's seventh spirit ring and said, "This spirit ring is not right. Why does it feel so different from an ordinary 100,000-year spirit ring?"
"This spirit ring belongs to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger."
"That's even more wrong. Although the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is powerful, there should have never been a 100,000-year spirit beast. Moreover, any 10,000-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger can fight against a 100,000-year-old spirit beast. If it really reached 100,000 years, its strength would be extremely exaggerated."
"I also put a lot of thought into obtaining this spirit ring."
