Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Young Gilas, Sandstorm King!

Chapter 93 Level 80, the Phoenix God's Approval!
Lin Xia's spirits lifted, and she strode forward, her voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Lou Gao, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes.

hum!
Two condensed, almost tangible, dark golden beams of light shot out from his eyes like divine swords being drawn from their sheaths, scorching the sweltering air in front of him!
The light lasted for a moment before slowly receding, revealing his completely renewed eyes.

Those eyes no longer showed any trace of turbidity or weariness!
Deep within his pupils, it seemed as if two eternally burning flames flickered, radiating wisdom, perseverance, and a profound tranquility born from the experience of life and death.

As far as the eye could see, there was an invisible pressure, the aura of a powerful being naturally emanating from the dual transformation of soul power and soul.

Lou Gao's gaze immediately fell on his arm.

He slowly raised his hands, which were no longer the bright red marks they had been burned before.

Its skin is smooth and resilient, its muscles are well-defined and full, and it contains explosive power.

He instinctively clenched his fist tightly!

"Crack!"

The air was instantly crushed in his palm! It made a crisp, explosive sound!
The terrifying power emanating from pure physical strength made Young Gilas shrink back.

But this is just the beginning.

Lou Gao's gaze became incredibly focused, filled with a mixture of disbelief, excitement, and curiosity.

A thought flashed through his mind—summon his martial spirit!
Buzz—Clang!

A loud, chilling metallic clang echoed through the mine!

It is no longer a single form like the phantom of the diamond chisel.

A strangely shaped, long-handled giant hammer, its entire body flowing with dark gold, slowly condensed in front of Lou Gao amidst blazing golden-red flames!

This hammer is the new form of his martial soul after its evolution—the Phoenix Divine Chisel!
The hammer is thicker and more solid than the original diamond chisel, with strong and domineering lines, yet it also carries an ancient and sacred sense of flowing beauty.

The hammerhead is not a traditional square shape, but rather slightly curved, resembling the folded wings of a phoenix. On the dark gold hammer body, there are naturally imprinted mysterious red-gold flame patterns, which are the phoenix divine patterns!
These patterns are not inanimate objects, but rather slowly flowing, like living flames burning in metal.

The hammer body seemed to be composed of a substance that combined divine metal and eternal flame, neither gold nor jade, exuding a contradictory aura of both warmth and rage.

The hammer handle is wrapped with dark red energy tassels, the end of which vaguely forms a miniature phoenix head shape.

Without needing to activate it, simply by manifesting the Martial Soul, a terrifying pressure as heavy as a mountain and as intense as a furnace suddenly spread out!
The air was compressed, emitting a low groan, and the tiny pebbles on the ground silently turned to dust.

This oppressive force not only contained the original indestructible sharpness of Lou Gao's diamond chisel, but also incorporated the destructive and creative power of the Phoenix Divine Fire, as well as the craftsman's will that was even purer and more tenacious after being tempered by the divine fire!

Its quality far surpasses that of the previous Vajra Chisel, reaching the pinnacle of weapon spirit!

"This...this is..."

Lou Gao's voice trembled violently as he reached out his slightly trembling hand and gently stroked the hammer of the Phoenix Divine Chisel.

What he felt at his fingertips wasn't the cold touch of metal, but a warm, vibrant energy, as if it were alive, and a deep, bone-deep connection! Then, as if in response to the evolution of his martial soul, the immense soul power that had been suppressed for a day within Lou Gao's body could no longer be contained!
boom--! ! !
A column of dark golden soul power, visible to the naked eye, mixed with crimson flames, erupted like a volcano that had been suppressed for thousands of years, shooting straight up from the top of the building!

A violent storm of soul power instantly swept through the entire mine! The wind howled, and sand and stones flew everywhere! Young Gilas let out a "yo-yo" and quickly used its claws to cling tightly to a large piece of ore to avoid being blown away, its little eyes filled with surprise.

Lin Xia couldn't help but squint her eyes and use her soul power to resist the impact.

The core of this soul power storm—Lou Gao's aura—soared wildly as if he were on a rocket!
The barrier of a level 75 Soul Saint was broken through as easily as paper!
Level 76... Level 77... Level 78... Level 79!
Finally, with a powerful roar that seemed to come from the depths of the soul, the violent aura settled firmly at a new and awe-inspiring height—

Level eighty!
Contra!
The storm of soul power gradually subsided, and the dust settled inside the mine.

Lou Gao still stood in the same spot, but the aura he exuded had completely changed.

His imposing physique resembled a cast-iron statue, with explosive power flowing beneath his dark golden skin. His eyes were sharp as lightning, brimming with unprecedented confidence and majesty.

The Phoenix Divine Chisel hovered beside him, radiating a chilling aura, with the phoenix divine patterns on the hammer shining brightly.

After a brief silence, Lou Gao suddenly raised his head and let out a long, exhilarating roar that seemed to shatter metal and split rocks!

"Hahahahaha——!!!"

Laughter, like rolling thunder, echoed through the mine, filled with indescribable excitement, ecstasy, and boundless感慨 (gǎnkǎi, deep emotion) at the dawn of a new destiny! The powerful spiritual force contained in the roar made the cave walls rustle.

As the whistling subsided, Lou Gao slowly turned his head, his eyes, filled with divine light and a complex mix of deep gratitude, relief, and near-worship, fixed firmly on Lin Xia before him.

He strode forward, extended his large hands—once calloused but now brimming with terrifying power and gleaming with a dark golden luster—and slammed them hard onto Lin Xia's shoulder.

"Xiao Xia!"

Lou Gao's voice was as loud as a bell, every word filled with power and sincerity.

"Good lad! My good disciple!"

He took a deep breath, as if trying to inhale the feeling of being reborn into his lungs, his eyes glistening with excitement.

"Did you see that? Did you see that?! This martial spirit...this power!"

Lou Gao pointed to the phoenix chisel floating beside him, his voice choked with emotion.

"If it weren't for you! If it weren't for your reasoned arguments and your willingness to risk everything to plead for my life before the gods, if it weren't for your selfless and innocent heart that touched the gods... I would have long since turned to ashes under that divine fire, and how could I have achieved this miraculous transformation today?!"

Lou Gao released Lin Xia's shoulder, clenched his dark golden fist tightly, feeling the surging, unprecedentedly powerful soul force within his body, as well as the terrifying power contained in his flesh and bones, enough to tear through refined gold with bare hands. His tone was resolute.

"I feel like a live volcano has been filled inside my body! The power is inexhaustible! The depth and purity of my soul power far surpasses what I was at the peak of my Soul Saint status! More importantly..."

Lou Gao looked again at the lifelike phoenix mark on his arm, his eyes filled with piety and awe:
"The Phoenix God! He... He has truly given me initial approval!"
