Chapter 255: Sequelae of Forcibly Activating the Spirit Avatar; Tang San's Other Two 100,000-year soul rings
Xiao Wu was puzzled; Xiao Wu was deeply shocked.
Just as Teacher Jiang Li said, wasn't the reason she risked her life to choose transformation back then precisely because she wasn't confident in surviving the Lightning Tribulation that every Hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast must Face?
Of course, besides that, she also really wanted to experience the sweet love her mother had spoken of!
Fortunately, she really had found it!
Although Da Ming and Er Ming far surpassed her in Bloodline and foundation, as long as they remained Soul Beasts, there would eventually come a day when they couldn't withstand the Heavenly Tribulation and would be reduced to ashes.
Years ago, when she was still a carefree Little Rabbit, she had heard her mother mention that in the deepest depths of the Star Dou Great Forest's Lake of Life, many Ferocious beast kings who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years lay sleeping.
The reason those true overlords chose to remain in a deep slumber was likely to drag out their meager existence and delay the time they had to Face the Heavenly Tribulation for as long as possible, right?
Seeing a flicker of interest in Xiao Wu's eyes, Jiang Li unhurriedly continued to raise the stakes.
"Xiao Wu, don't forget that on Bibi Dong's second Martial Soul, there are currently two empty slots for the final Soul Rings."
"Her seventh Soul Ring is already at the hundred thousand year level, so do you think, given her ambition, she would just settle for anything with these last two rings used to push her limits? Looking across the entire continent, besides those hundred thousand year Sea Soul Beasts in the deep sea that are like needles in a haystack, who else on land are the best-known and easiest targets besides your two brothers?"
"Do you think the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python alone can withstand the full might of Spirit Hall's army of Soul Masters?"
Every word of this pierced her heart; a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on Xiao Wu's back.
This was by no means alarmist talk; given Spirit Hall's way of doing things, it would certainly happen in the near future!
Rather than letting Da Ming and Er Ming die miserably at the hands of the evil Spirit Hall, it would be better... better to give them to her most trusted Third Brother!
A person as pure and noble as Teacher Jiang Li, who keeps her word, since she promised that Third Brother could resurrect them as Divine Beasts after becoming a god, then she will certainly be able to do it!
In that case, what else did she have to hesitate about?
"Teacher Jiang Li, I understand." Xiao Wu took a deep breath, her eyes becoming firm. "Once Third Brother finishes visiting his mother, I will personally accompany him back to the Star Dou Great Forest to explain the stakes to Da Ming and Er Ming. I believe they will surely understand this well-intentioned effort."
"It's just that... the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest is fraught with danger. Perhaps when the time comes, we'll need you to personally intervene, Teacher Jiang Li, to protect our path."
The corners of Jiang Li's mouth curled up slightly into a satisfied arc.
This Little Rabbit isn't stupid, hey!
...
Meanwhile, on the other side, inside Spirit City.
At the very moment Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were annihilated in body and Soul, Ning Rongrong, who was lying on her sickbed, suddenly clutched her chest without warning as a sharp pain, as if her Soul were being torn apart, surged into her heart.
It was as if something incredibly important had completely dissipated from this world.
This suffocating feeling of palpitations caused her to wake up abruptly from her stupor.
Looking at Flender who was guarding her bedside, Ning Rongrong's Face was pale, and her eyes were full of confusion. "Dean Flender... where are my father and Grandpa Sword?"
Flender sighed silently and briefly recounted the chaotic battle that broke out in front of the The Pope's Palace after they had fallen unconscious. He then spoke to comfort her, "Sect Master Ning and Sword Douluo saw that the situation was unfavorable and have already left ahead of time, retreating toward Heaven Dou City."
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong finally breathed a huge sigh of relief. With her father's world-best support and Grandpa Sword's Seven Kill Sword, there were very few people on the Douluo Continent who could hope to detain them.
That heart-wrenching pain from just now must have been nothing more than an illusion caused by her recent recovery.
With the weight lifted from her heart, Ning Rongrong looked around and curiously started firing off questions: "By the way, Dean Flender, where are Master Yu and Teacher Erlong? And where did Zhuqing and the others go? Why is Yu Tianheng the only one lying in this room?"
Facing Ning Rongrong's barrage of questions, a bitter mask of pain immediately appeared on Flender's Face.
It could be said that ever since Liu Erlong learned that Master Yu and Bibi Dong had not only failed to separate but had actually become increasingly close, her heart had begun to fill with dissatisfaction toward Master Yu.
It was only because they had to participate in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament earlier that the powder keg hadn't been ignited.
Now that the tournament was over, Liu Erlong would seek an explanation from Master Yu the moment she found an opportunity.
As the ultimate devoted backup of the Douluo Continent, Flender naturally hoped his goddess would find happiness, but with the current mess, he was overwhelmed and had no idea where to even begin.
"Xiaogang and Erlong... they have some private matters to attend to." Flender gave a half-hearted, perfunctory reply and continued, "Zhuqing and the others woke up before you and are currently in their respective rooms meditating to recover. As for Tianheng..."
Flender looked at the dying Yu Tianheng on the sickbed, a flicker of pity flashing in his eyes.
Without sufficiently massive Spiritual Power for support, forcibly activating the Spirit Avatar beyond his level had, just as Bibi Dong initially feared, caused irreversible and severe damage to Yu Tianheng's Soul Origin.
Whether he could wake up at all, or if he would be left with fatal sequelae upon waking, was something no one could say for certain right now.
Previously, for the sake of Yu Xiaogang's Face, Bibi Dong had secretly sent a healing-type Spirit Master to examine him, only to reach the same despairing conclusion.
Yu Tianheng was, after all, one of the officially designated next-generation heirs of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. With such a major incident occurring, even if Yu Xiaogang tried every possible way to suppress the news, he simply couldn't keep it under wraps.
At this very moment, urgent secret letters had already flown out of Spirit City, racing toward the mountain gates of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to deliver the grim news.
...
Meanwhile, at the site where Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin had been blasted, Yue Guan and Gui Mei, who had rushed over to investigate the commotion, both simultaneously sucked in a breath of cold air at the sight of the carnage below.
Asking themselves honestly, even though both of them were rank ninety-five Super Douluo, even an all-out explosion without regard for consequences could never have produced such an exaggerated level of destructive power.
This level of destructive power, comparable to a natural disaster—looking across the entire Douluo Continent, the number of perpetrators capable of causing such a commotion could be counted on one's fingers.
"Old Ghost, this scene... what do you think?"
Yue Guan habitually made an orchid finger gesture, but his voice was uncharacteristically heavy with solemnity.
Gui Mei transformed into a mass of pitch-black shadow, moving rapidly along the edge of the crater to investigate every corner within a radius of several miles.
A moment later, he coalesced back into his gaunt form beside Yue Guan, his eyes hidden beneath his hood betraying a deep sense of dread.
