Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

Page 204

Suppressing her surprise, Qian Renxue felt a hint of joy. Soul Masters are most vulnerable when absorbing Soul Rings.

Shen Anken's decision to entrust her with the task of protecting him was undoubtedly a sign of his trust in her.

Qian Renxue nodded reservedly: "Absorbing a soul ring is such an important matter that you should have someone trustworthy to protect you. So leave it to me."

"By the way, have you decided what kind of seventh spirit ring you want to absorb? We can go and look for it."

Shen An gently shook his head: "No need, I have a special method to condense a soul ring."

Qian Renxue's eyes flashed. In an instant, she thought of the divinely bestowed soul ring, which was also the most suitable soul ring for soul masters. How much a soul master could absorb depended entirely on their willpower and physical fitness.

'It seems you are also a successor of some deity. But is there a Sword God in the God Realm?' Qian Renxue's thoughts drifted away, unaware that she had already misunderstood.

However, given the idea of ​​a divinely bestowed soul ring, Qian Renxue didn't ask any further questions, and Shen An was happy to accept it as it was; otherwise, he would have had to make up an excuse, which would have been too troublesome.

The two people, the cat, and the mouse quickly found a quiet place.

Qian Renxue stood guard alone on the outer perimeter, while Tom and Jerry slept lazily not far from Shen An.

Shen An was also filled with excitement. A Soul Saint is a Soul Master who can fully explore the potential of their Martial Soul and truly achieve a state of perfect harmony with their Martial Soul.

He had a premonition that the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass would undergo a great change.

Shen An immediately summoned the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, placed it across his lap, gathered his energy, and silently chanted in his mind.

"System, start up!"

In an instant, all 20 million reputation points were wiped out.

A seven-colored vortex appeared out of thin air, its rootless and boundless, boundless, pure and refined energy surging forth like a river.

Under the nourishment of this energy, Shen An's body and soul continued to rise, and his mind became clearer and more peaceful than ever before.

At that moment, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass suddenly emitted a clear and melodious sword cry.

The sword's cry reached Shen An's soul, as if it were a summons, and the two resonated with each other.

The nine-leaf sword grass, which originally resembled glass, now transformed into specks of azure light, enveloping Shen An.

The next moment, Shen An felt as if his soul had been swayed to a distant, deep space.

On the vast and boundless earth, an indescribable, dazzling sword intent soared into the sky, instantly severing the sun, moon, and stars, which fell to the mortal realm from the high heavens.

At this moment, Shen An's mind was immersed in the ultimate sword intent painting, and his understanding of the sword path was growing at an incredible speed.

However, his body continued to absorb energy and condense soul rings.

At the same time, his body was filled with surging sword energy, like a vast ocean, soaring straight into the sky.

Qian Renxue, who was guarding Shen An from the outside, couldn't help but twitch her lips. Breaking through to the Soul Saint level, is it really necessary to make such a big show of it? Even a Title Douluo isn't this grand.

Besides, she's supposed to protect him? Protect my ass! With the sword energy surging around Shen An, any soul beast that arrives will probably be reduced to dust.

Soon, Qian Renxue's expression changed. Oh no, Tom Jerry is still inside!

She instinctively reached out to rescue the two little ones, and then saw a cat and a mouse running out with terrified expressions.

Qian Renxue felt relieved; it was good that they were alive. Then, looking at the two little ones' bare backs, she couldn't help but burst into laughter again.

He survived, but all the hair on his back was gone, making him look extremely comical.

As the days and months passed, five days flew by in the blink of an eye.

Wuhun City is located at the border of two great empires and is also very close to the Star Dou Great Forest. With Yue Guan Gui Mei traveling at all his might, they have successfully met Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong sat high on the papal throne, her face grim: "You mean that the humanoid soul beast has been sacrificed, and my ten elders have disappeared?"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei knelt nervously below, forcing themselves to speak:

“Your Holiness, Old Ghost and I sensed a strange magnetic field from afar, almost exactly the same as the one we sensed when we were chasing Tang Hao back then.”

"It seems that Young Master—well, it seems that Qian Renxue was not lying. As for Yan Chixia, he disappeared after going to the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Judging from Qian Renxue's tone, the two must have had an extremely unpleasant relationship, but they should be out of danger, since we didn't sense any other major battles."

Hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression improved slightly. Although she didn't know what Yan Chixia was doing, it was good that her life was safe.

"By the way, Your Holiness, we also saw Shen An, who had been missing for a long time. He was right next to Qian Renxue, and the two were behaving intimately."

Bibi Dong's face suddenly darkened, and she gripped the papal scepter tightly. Evil thoughts grew in her heart like weeds, and her face involuntarily twisted into a grimace.

Why should her daughter get the love she didn't get?

The Moon Gate and the Ghosts underground were even more terrified. How could His Holiness the Pope change his expression faster than turning the pages of a book? One moment he was gloomy, the next gentle, and then ferocious. It scared the crap out of them.

After a long while, Bibi Dong let out a long sigh: "Is there anything else that day? If not, you may all leave now?"

Yue Guan cautiously looked up again: "By the way, we also sensed Tang San's presence that day, but when we got there, there was only a pile of powder on the ground, suggesting he was killed by Shen An."

Before Bibi Dong could even show a look of delight, Yue Guan continued.

"There was a person who called himself a god, with a blood-red figure wielding a blood-red demon sword, who fought against Shen An, Qian Renxue, and Gu Rong. He must have been avenging Tang San."

"However, in my opinion, that god's aura was roughly on par with the Second Elder. Although he was powerful, he was too arrogant to call himself a god. In the end, when faced with our combined forces, he fled in panic."

After saying that, Yue Guan felt a sense of relief. He really didn't want to see the Pope perform his face-changing magic in front of him anymore; it was too frightening.

"god?!"

Bibi Dong's face suddenly turned serious. She had been undergoing the Rakshasa God's test for a long time and naturally knew some of the secrets of the God Realm.

Based on Yue Guan's description, the more he heard it, the more familiar it sounded—it seemed to be the Asura God, the mortal enemy of the Rakshasa God!

A mysterious and vast voice echoed in Bibi Dong's heart: "Destroy the Asura's divine will, and you can directly pass the last two tests of the Rakshasa God's Trial."

Bibi Dong's expression became incredibly varied, sometimes gloomy, sometimes joyful, sometimes somber, making Yue Guanfang's heart tremble beneath her feet.

Bibi Dong never imagined that the Rakshasa Divine Sense harbored such deep hatred for the Asura Divine Sense that it directly destroyed the Asura Divine Sense itself, allowing her to pass the incredibly difficult Rakshasa Divine Test on its own.

But, can she really kill a god, even just a divine thought?

No, He could definitely kill him. Since He had to flee from Yue Guan first, it means His divine power is absolutely negligible.

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong's face lit up with joy, and she burst into laughter. The path to godhood was right before her eyes!

In the Starry Sky Forest, Shen An's mind suddenly broke free from the vast and desolate landscape. Accompanied by a clear and high-pitched sword chant, he gained some insight.

The seventh spirit ring has been successfully formed!

He looked down and saw that the spirit ring was pure gold, exuding an incomparably sharp aura.

Shen An knew in his heart that his seventh spirit ring had reached an unprecedented 1.1 million years!

This seems terrifying, but it makes sense. Shen An had already been baptized by the system one after another. Each time he absorbed a soul ring, the pure energy from the system laid a solid foundation for him.

His body also possesses two jade bones, and over the past two years, he has been continuously refining jade marrow to strengthen his body.

In terms of physical strength alone, there are few on the entire continent who can surpass him.

Therefore, this seventh spirit ring reached an unprecedented 1.1 million years.

When Qian Renxue saw the terrifying sea of ​​sword energy disappear, she knew that Shen An had successfully condensed his seventh soul ring, and she felt a mix of emotions.

Shen An's combat power was already comparable to hers, who wielded the Angelic Holy Sword. Now that she has a Soul Ring, she will probably be overpowered by Shen An.

Qian Renxue suddenly looked worried. "It's over. I'm afraid I can't use force anymore. Sigh, I should have locked him in the secret room earlier."

Putting aside the jumbled thoughts in her mind, she flashed in front of Shen An, then froze.

Now that Shen An has become a Soul Saint, his perception is astonishing. He instantly sensed Qian Renxue's arrival and stood up to greet her calmly.

Then they noticed that Qian Renxue, who was in a daze, had an incredibly red face, and there was even tangible white vapor coming out of her head. Her holy and dazzling golden eyes were now even brighter.

Before Shen An could even have a question, a gentle breeze suddenly blew by, and then... a chill ran through his balls.

"Holy crap!!!" A loud voice echoed throughout half of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Shen An didn't know about others, but he said he absolutely couldn't remain unmoved in front of a girl while naked.

Old Shen is a respectable man.

"Hmph, so stingy, won't even let you see, what kind of good friend are you?" Qian Renxue said with dissatisfaction, while widening her golden eyes, trying to pierce through the cyan sword curtain set up by Shen An, but to no avail.

Disappointment welled up in my heart, but then the extremely impactful scene I had just witnessed flashed through my mind.

That masculine body, with its sharply defined muscles and enormous...

'Does that kind of thing really hurt a lot?' A lewd thought flashed through Qian Renxue's mind.

When the cyan sword curtain dissipated, Shen An had already dressed himself neatly and emerged.

Qian Renxue then looked at Shen An with intense eyes, making Shen An feel very uncomfortable.

"Qian Renxue! Don't act like a hooligan!" Shen An said expressionlessly.

The golden-eyed girl gave a soft hum, deciding to put aside her distracting thoughts for now. This was the wilderness, not a good place to be; she'd better wait until they reached Wuhun City.

"Um, what year was your seventh spirit ring?" she asked curiously.

Shen An didn't hide anything and lit up all his spirit rings. If hiding the color of his spirit rings was a way to protect himself before, there was no need to do so now.

Because he is already powerful enough!

If the Asura Divine Sense were facing him after he became a Soul Saint, then there would be no chance of escape at all.

Seven spirit rings pulsed around Shen An's body.

Black, black, black, black, red, red, gold!

Qian Renxue's eyes widened involuntarily, as did her small mouth; even a duck egg could fit inside.

Seeing the beauty before him so shocked, Shen An felt a surge of pride. This kind of soul ring configuration was indeed something to be proud of.

When he condensed his seventh spirit ring, the other spirit rings seemed to be drawn by some force, and their ages were all increased.

"What age is your seventh spirit ring?" Qian Renxue asked somewhat unrealistically. How could someone have a golden spirit ring?

She would never have believed it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

Shen An's lips curled into a smile: "One million one hundred thousand years."

"Hiss!" Qian Renxue gasped.

She came from a family with a long history of learning, so she naturally knew about the saying that soul beasts could become gods after a million years.

But if someone's spirit ring has a million-year lifespan, wouldn't that mean they absorbed the power of a god-level spirit beast?

In other words, he absorbed a god?

Chapter 306 The True Face of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

"After a Soul Master reaches the Soul Saint level, their Martial Soul undergoes a qualitative change. What is your Martial Soul like now?"

Qian Renxue asked, a hint of anticipation in her eyes. What would the already extraordinary Nine-Leaf Sword Grass look like now?

Shen An immediately summoned his martial soul, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass.

At this moment, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass was no longer the perfectly flawless sword blade that resembled glass, but had transformed into a blade of grass.

Its leaves are like swords, with nine leaves growing together. As the leaves sway, a sword-like aura appears and disappears, emitting a clear radiance.

It's a bit funny that such a big sword has been turned into a blade of grass.

However, Qian Renxue, standing to the side, had a solemn expression. She sensed an indescribable sharpness from the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass.

She could sense that the level of this sharp sword energy was about to reach the realm of the angelic power she had received during her inheritance.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel her mouth go dry. That was the realm of gods, and Shen An was only a Soul Saint.

Shen An looked at the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass in his hand without any surprise.

This may be the true form of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass; its previous longsword form was merely a feature imposed by the system.

The form of the sword is merely its physical manifestation; the true way of the sword resides in the heart.

The reason why the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass became the ultimate martial soul was precisely because of its ultimate sword intent.

Shen An couldn't help but recall the scene he saw when he broke through, and the name he had given to his martial soul at that time.

What a coincidence! It perfectly matches the characteristics of one of the Ten Ancient Fiends from my memory.

Is it a coincidence? Or is it inevitable?

Putting aside his distracting thoughts, Shen An stopped thinking about it, since he couldn't figure it out anyway.

He then smiled at Qian Renxue and said, "Now that everything is resolved, how about we go back to the Spirit Hall together?"
