Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 111 Gold-level Awakening

Looking at the three blood-red soul rings, Xiao Fei first took out the Vast Ocean Universe Cover and used his soul skill to hide the seven people and the three-headed soul beast corpses.

Xiao Fei sat on the ground and summoned his Qilin Arm Martial Soul. He looked at his arm, now covered in golden threads, and then at the three red spirit rings.

Xiao Fei, having solidified his resolve, began simultaneously drawing the three spirit rings to his arm. As the three spirit rings approached his arm at the same time, an extremely strong repulsive force appeared between them.

As everyone knows, spirit rings contain the soul and resentment of the spirit beast in its previous life, and the resentment of a 100,000-year-old spirit beast is even stronger. The three brothers of the Thousand-Pound Ant King clearly knew Xiao Fei's thoughts, so the three spirit beasts tacitly repelled each other, resulting in instability in each spirit ring position.

This is similar to Xiao Yan's Buddha's Fury Lotus in Battle Through the Heavens, where three different souls collide, making it very unstable and generating tremendous repulsive force, or even an explosion.

The three rings collided and tore at Xiao Fei's Qilin Arm Martial Soul incessantly. At the same time, three streams of soul power surged into Xiao Fei's mind, assaulting his soul.

Xiao Fei's face showed extreme pain, and blood was flowing from his seven orifices. His arm was being torn apart by tremendous force, as if it were about to explode at any moment.

At this moment, Xiao Fei remembered what Yang Wudi had said: all of our martial spirits have souls, and even life, but we have not truly understood our own martial spirits.

In the original story, Tang San used the invincible aura of the Clear Sky Hammer to ultimately subdue the three spirit rings.

Xiao Fei thought about it carefully and realized that he had never understood why he had the Qilin Arm Martial Soul, or even what its function or purpose was.

Xiao Fei recalled the horror he felt while watching Douluo Continent, the impending war of the gods, the countless deaths on the battlefield, and the suffering of ordinary people ten thousand years later.

His own Qilin Arm Martial Soul seemed to have been designed from the very beginning to tear apart this society, this distorted Douluo Continent, and even this distorted cultivation system. Ultimately, his goal was to break the injustice in the world, and all of this required a hand to propel everything forward.

This is my Qilin Arm Martial Soul, a simple hand, a hand meant to break through all darkness.

As the souls of the three Ant King brothers collided, and as the three soul rings tore at each other, Xiao Fei's expression gradually changed from pain to calm, and finally to strength, dominance, and unwavering determination.

At the same time, Xiao Fei's mind gradually stabilized, and the Qilin Arm Martial Soul changed from being silvery-white with a touch of gold to being covered with dense gold threads, and finally the entire arm turned golden.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Fei slowly opened his eyes.

Everything around us seemed unchanged, yet everything also seemed to have changed.

"How long did it take me this time?"

Huo Wu quickly said, "A month? It took you a whole month to absorb these three spirit rings."

Xiao Fei smiled as he looked at his right arm, which, after summoning his martial spirit, had turned completely golden and was radiating an astonishing aura.

The Qilin Arm Martial Soul has finally awakened for the third time, reaching the Gold level. And Xiao Fei's right hand is now estimated to have become a God-level Martial Soul, indestructible and comparable to a divine weapon.

In fact, this has always been Xiao Fei's goal. To awaken the Qilin Arm to the Gold level, he needs enough pressure. Absorbing the three 100,000-year soul rings of the Thousand-Pound Ant King is the only way Xiao Fei feels he can awaken it at this stage. This is why Xiao Fei has been so persistent about these three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings.

With a thought, six red spirit rings appeared on Xiao Fei's arm.

At this moment, Xiao Fei's soul power had reached the peak of level 98. The three 100,000-year soul rings increased Xiao Fei's soul power by 2 levels. Xiao Fei felt that he was now incredibly powerful, with almost inexhaustible soul power.

After calming himself down, Xiao Fei walked to the corpse of the Thousand-Pound Ant King and took out three pieces of its torso soul bone.

Xiao Fei thought for a moment, then took out the Soul Bone of the Prison-Suppressing Elephant and the Soul Bone of the Mysterious Nether Turtle. First, he handed the Soul Bone of the Mysterious Nether Turtle to Niu Meng, then the Soul Bone of the Prison-Suppressing Elephant to Huo Wu, and then the three Soul Bone of the Ten Thousand Years-Old Thousand-Jin Ant King to Yang Pojun, Feng Xiaotian, and Huo Wushuang respectively.

"Senior Bing'er, these three torso soul bones are not very suitable for you. I'll give them to you when I get more."

"Sister Huowu, you five should absorb the soul bones now and see if you can level up to 90 or 80. If you can, we'll also hunt down your soul rings this time."

The five nodded and sat down on the ground to begin absorbing the soul bones.

Xiao Fei started eating something and joined Shui Bing'er in protecting the five people.

A day later, all five had absorbed the 100,000-year-old torso soul bones they possessed. Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu successfully leveled up to level 90, while Feng Xiaotian reached level 87. Yang Pojun was at level 76, Niu Meng at level 77, and Shui Bing'er, having not absorbed any soul bones, remained at level 83.

Next, we'll be hunting for spirit rings for Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang. Since we've recently explored the entire core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, we're quite familiar with these spirit beasts, making the search for them relatively easy.

Huo Wushuang chose a 94,000-year-old one-horned tyrannosaurus. Huo Wu chose a 96,000-year-old fire python. Xiao Fei also used the Beast Soul Pill method to enhance both soul beasts to 100,000 years old, and then they attacked together.

After absorbing the soul rings and soul bones, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang both reached level 92.

Thus, Xiao Fei and his six companions had accomplished all their objectives in coming to the Star Dou Great Forest.

After thinking it over, Xiao Fei finally decided to take a walk around the Lake of Life.

Two days later, Xiao Fei and his six companions arrived at the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest—the Lake of Life.

The lake's surface shimmered, its water crystal clear. A vibrant life force permeated the air, making it a veritable paradise on earth, truly deserving of its name as the Lake of Life. It is likely one of the most precious places on the Douluo Continent.

Xiao Fei shouted towards the Lake of Life: "Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python, please come out and meet me!"

Suddenly, the earth shook violently, and a huge black shadow flew swiftly in front of Xiao Fei and the others; it was the Titan Giant Ape.

"So, it's you guys who've been hunting high-level soul beasts lately?"

"I have come to see you, not for your soul ring or soul bone. Please also come out and see me, Azure Bull Python."

The lake surface suddenly boiled, and a huge bull-headed python appeared on the surface of the lake; it was the Azure Bull Python.

The Azure Bull Python spoke in human language: "Humans, what business do you have with me?"

"Don't be so hostile towards me. I've been classmates with your Sister Xiaowu at Notting Academy for five years, and I don't want anything to happen to you right now."

"I've come here to tell you that within a year, a group of Title Douluos will come to hunt you down. If possible, you'd better hide."

"Human, why are you telling us this?"

"No reason why, I just find the two of you rather interesting. You two would be better off hiding deep within the Lake of Life; it should be relatively safe there."

"Don't underestimate your enemies; their strength far exceeds your imagination."

After hearing Xiao Fei's words, Huo Wu and the other six twitched at the corners of their mouths, while the two beasts were speechless, wondering why such a reason was even possible.

Actually, this was indeed Xiao Fei's idea. In his previous life, Xiao Fei really liked these two 100,000-year-old soul beasts. Titan Giant was a big goofball, while Weather Bull Python was relatively calm and kind.

After saying these words, Xiao Fei led the six people away from the Lake of Life.

Huo Wu asked, somewhat puzzled, "How did you know someone would come to hunt them down? And why did you warn them?"

"War is about to break out. Whether it's the Spirit Empire or the two great empires of Heaven Dou or Star Luo, they all want to increase their strength. Bibi Dong, the emperor of the Spirit Empire, and Tang San of the Heaven Dou Empire both have twin spirits and need spirit rings now."

"But what does this have to do with us?"

Xiao Fei pinched Huo Wu's forehead: "Whether it's the Spirit Empire or the Heaven Dou Empire, I don't want them to become too powerful, otherwise we won't be able to maintain neutrality."

At the same time, the Titan Giant Ape said in a deep voice, "Will a group of Title Douluos really come to hunt us down?"

The Azure Bull Python shook its head: "I don't know either, but lately I've been feeling vaguely uneasy, as if humans are spying on us. We'd better hide."
