The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm also realized this. It looked at Xu Zihuang, then at Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng, and noticed that the two did indeed share many similarities in appearance. Understanding this, it remained silent.

Xu Zihuang took a deep breath, suppressing his feelings, and stepped forward to lift Lei Mingyan Yuteng's slender arms.

"In that case, there's no need to dwell on it too much. But now that you've seen my memories, you must know why Tianmeng chose me. I believe you will never regret your decision to follow me in the future."

Aiming for godhood?

Meeting Xu Zihuang's deep purple eyes, Lei Mingyan Yuteng was deeply moved, his excitement overflowing.

She did see that hope in Xu Zihuang.

"My lord, Yan Yu also believes that such a day will surely come!"

In the Douluo Continent, the concepts of fate and destiny truly exist. As a plant-type soul beast, she is more sensitive to these matters than animal-type soul beasts. Xu Zihuang's past experiences all indicate that he is the chosen one of this era, born of destiny.

Xu Zihuang smiled slightly, then quickly composed himself and asked seriously.

"Now let's get down to business. Yan Yu, I can sense that you still have some residual power. Can you continue to add spirit rings to my second martial soul?"

Lei Mingyan Yuteng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head in shame.

“Our Thunderous Hell Vine clan has a profound foundation and should have been able to continue providing you with soul rings, but unfortunately, I consumed too much of my original power when I broke through to the 100,000-year realm.”

"This is easy!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm suddenly exclaimed, chuckling smugly.

"I left four spiritual essence seals behind, each containing the essence energy equivalent to a 100,000-year soul ring. You only need to provide Zihuang with the framework of a soul ring, and I will replenish the energy needed for the soul ring. With the capabilities of your Thunderous Hell Vine clan, you should be able to do it, right? I saw you absorbing my spiritual essence power quite smoothly before."

Lei Mingyan Yuteng was taken aback at first, then realized what was happening and said proudly, "Of course I can do that."

"Without further ado, let's begin now. Heavenly Dream, Yama's Prison."

Xu Zihuang chuckled, his eyes burning with intensity. The Thunderous Hell Vine, compressing terrifying lightning power, had already generated a trace of destructive power, perfectly matching his second martial soul, the Purple Thunder Hell Dragon, in terms of attributes.

This couldn't be more perfect. He could use the spirit rings provided by the Thunderous Hell Vine to imprint the Dragon Emperor's Evil-Slaying Rift and Dragon Emperor's Domain-Shaking Techniques that Elder Mu had taught him.

"Then let's break the seal first." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice became more serious as he mobilized one of the golden light clusters floating above Xu Zihuang's spiritual sea.

The ball of light, as dazzling as the golden sun, was guided by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and floated towards the Thunderous Hell Vine.

A moment later, a blood-red, 100,000-year soul ring quietly appeared around Xu Zihuang, who was in the main hall on the top floor of the Nine Treasures Pavilion. The eerie light illuminated his face.

After this spirit ring rose, another identical red 100,000-year spirit ring slowly rose.

"Big bug, break another seal." Lei Mingyan Yuteng's voice rang out again, his heroic spirit filled with untamed arrogance.

"My name is Tianmeng!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm emphasized, somewhat speechless, but his movements were swift as he released another seal on a golden ball of light.

At this point, only two of the ten golden orbs left behind by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm remained.

Xu Zihuang opened his eyes at the same time, his eyes filled with a purple aura, faintly flashing with lightning. The spirit rings around him finally settled on three—three blood-red, 100,000-year spirit rings!

"Xu Tianran, I will soon deliver this surprise to you."

A subtle smile curved Xu Zihuang's lips, but his expression remained unusually cold. The three blood-red, 100,000-year soul rings retracted simultaneously.

Although he tried his best to suppress his soul power, Ning Tian was still alarmed by the aura of the three 100,000-year soul rings.

Ning Tian sat up sleepily and looked at Xu Zihuang beside him. A soft blanket made of three-eyed fox fur slipped off her fragrant shoulders.

"Tianhuang, what's wrong?"

Once he imprints the two spirit rings provided by the Thunderous Hell Vine onto the Dragon Emperor's Evil-Slaying Rift and the Dragon Emperor's Domain-Shaking Realm, his strength will undoubtedly experience another tremendous leap. Add to that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's million-year seventh spirit ring, and even ordinary Title Douluos will be ineligible to fight him.

The moment of his revenge is not far off.

Even with Xu Zihuang's temperament, after suppressing it for so long, he felt a trembling excitement.

He didn't address Ning Tian's question, but responded with his actions.

Held tightly in Xu Zihuang's arms, she felt his tenderness and affection. Initially somewhat taken aback, she soon found herself embracing Xu Zihuang's waist and back with dreamy eyes, completely absorbed in the moment.

This night was destined to be sleepless.

Chapter 373 Dragon Crystal and Secluded Cultivation

The next morning, the rising sun shone down from the eastern horizon.

Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian, ​​who had just finished washing up together, stood by the crystal floor-to-ceiling windows in the main hall of Jiubaoge, facing the rising sun, tidying their appearance.

Xu Zihuang had just tidied Ning Tian's slightly messy hair with a sandalwood comb when Ning Tian turned around and glared at him with a mixture of reproach and shyness.

Although Ning Tian received an energy boost comparable to top-tier rare and precious materials last night, and his body was basically fine, he couldn't hide his mental fatigue.

Ning Tian said quietly, "Tianhuang, it's so late, how am I supposed to get to the Soul Fighting Zone now?"

The Shrek Academy team is about to gather for training in the Soul Arena, and the two of them are already too late. If they're late, who knows what the rest of the Shrek Academy team will think?

Although their relationship can be considered public, going to the Soul Arena would be tantamount to putting some private matters into the open.

As a girl, Ning Tian inevitably felt embarrassed. When she talked to Tang Ya before, she was shy and found it difficult to talk about many things between her and Yu Tianhuang.

"Don't worry, we'll arrive in time." Xu Zihuang smiled slightly, then embraced Ning Tian and climbed onto the rooftop above the main hall of the Nine Treasures Pavilion.

"Squeak!"

The Thunder Beast, which had been exposed to the cold wind all night, immediately jumped onto Xu Zihuang's shoulder with a pitiful expression, wagging its tail ingratiatingly.

Xu Zihuang lightly touched the ground with his toes and rose into the air, channeling his soul power to fly directly from above Shrek City towards Shrek Academy. At the same time, six soul rings—five black and one red—appeared beside him. The deep fourth soul ring suddenly shone brightly.

The surrounding light distorted, and the two figures simply vanished into thin air.

"This is?"

Ning Tian, ​​who was leaning against Xu Zihuang's chest, suddenly widened his eyes.

If it weren't for the fact that she could clearly feel the warm, smooth texture of Yu Tianhuang's skin against hers, she would have thought she was in a void. Her consciousness and actions were unaffected, but she couldn't see her own body or sense her own presence at all.

Xu Zihuang used his fourth soul skill to imprint the simulation skill, one of the few innate soul skills of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

Back then, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm relied on this simulation skill, coupled with its immense mental power, to frighten away the giant demonic whale that had perished at the hands of Xu Zihuang. This is considered a very practical innate soul skill of the Ice Silkworm clan.

If it weren't for this innate soul skill that helps them evade their natural enemies, the Ice Silkworm clan would probably have been wiped out in the far north long ago.

This is also one of the reasons why Xu Zihuang was unwilling to fuse with the million-year soul ring of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm ahead of time. With the imprinting fourth soul skill, if he wanted to use soul skills such as simulation, mental detection, and mental sharing, he could directly imprint them from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

These three soul skills were abilities that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm originally possessed. However, mental interference and soul impact were new abilities that were granted to Huo Yuhao after the silkworm merged with him.

If the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had possessed the innate soul skills of Mental Interference and Soul Impact back then, it would at least have been able to protect itself, if not compared to those 100,000-year-old soul beasts skilled in combat, thanks to its immense mental power.

However, for Xu Zihuang, these two soul skills are rather useless.

His sixth soul skill, Mental Field, contains the effects of all mind control soul skills, with mental interference being one of them. As for the Soul Impact skill, he has even less use for it. At this stage, the offensive mental attribute soul skills he possesses, whether it's his fifth soul skill, Mental Storm, his sixth soul ring's second soul skill, Soul Touch, or his head soul bone skill, Evil Eye Gaze, all completely overwhelm this so-called Soul Impact in terms of power and level.

A simulated soul skill enhanced by spiritual power of a tangible and substantial realm is something that even a super strong expert of Elder Xuan's level might not be able to see through.

Xu Zihuang, carrying Ning Tian, ​​flew smoothly from above Shrek City to inside Shrek Academy. At his full speed, traversing such a distance was only a few breaths away.

In this brief moment, Xu Zihuang gave Ning Tian a general explanation of the reason, which also touched on the topic of souls that the two had discussed during their intimate moment the previous night.

Xu Zihuang escorted Ning Tian to the entrance of the Soul Battle Zone, then turned and left. He had told Ning Tian yesterday that he would go to see Elder Xuan, then enter the underground world of the Golden Tree for secluded cultivation, imprinting the Dragon Emperor's Evil-Slaying Rift and Dragon Emperor's Domain-Shaking Realm techniques, which Elder Mu had taught him, onto his Soul Rings.

The Thunder Beast, possessing intelligence comparable to that of humans, tactfully jumped onto Ning Tian's shoulder. It knew that it would be spending the next period of time with Ning Tian.

Watching Xu Zihuang's figure disappear from sight, Ning Tian remained lost in thought for a long time before regaining her composure and gracefully walking into the Soul Battle Zone. A faint, genuine smile graced her pretty face, but the thoughtful look in her eyes remained undiminished.

This method of soul cultivation may be enough to change the landscape of the entire continent in the future.

When Ning Tian arrived at the Soul Arena, most of the Shrek Academy team members had already arrived.

Seeing that only Ning Tian had come here, Wang Qiu'er, whose expression was indifferent, frowned slightly, but the emotion in her eyes quickly returned to calm.

Others were equally surprised.

The last to arrive were Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan.

Looking around and not seeing Yu Tianhuang, Cao Jinxuan seemed to have thought of something, and chuckled as he moved closer to Ning Tian.

"Ning Tian, ​​why isn't the captain here today?"

At this point, he and Zhou Sichen exchanged a glance, their eyes instantly becoming ambiguous.

Standing in the corner, Wu Feng's gaze remained fixed on Ning Tian. When Cao Jinxuan asked her question, she also noticed some subtle marks on Ning Tian's fair neck. They were difficult to spot at first glance, but Wu Feng was simply too focused on them.

Her delicate body trembled slightly, her face turned pale in an instant, and she clenched her fists, coldly shouting at Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan, "Shut up!"

Yu Tianhuang was far stronger than her, and Ning Tian had warned her before, so she dared not retaliate in front of Yu Tianhuang and could only behave herself.

But now that Yu Tianhuang wasn't present, Wu Feng's volatile temper flared up immediately. Moreover, after suppressing it for so long, anger, pain, grievance, resentment, and all sorts of negative emotions almost overwhelmed her. Her angry glare was somewhat similar to that of Wang Qiu'er, who had been tightly suppressed by Xu Zihuang before.

Zhou Sichen's face turned cold, and he was about to stand up for his good brother.

While Wu Feng's strength is considerable, it's far from enough to earn their complete submission. Even Yu Tianhuang, with his immense power, doesn't have such a temper; what are you pretending for?!

"Never mind, Sichen."

However, Cao Jinxuan patted Zhou Sichen on the shoulder, indicating that there was no need for him to provoke Wu Feng at this time.

Just then, Wang Qiu'er also said something coldly to Wu Feng.

"Shut up too!"

"What I say is none of your business!" Wu Feng glared, confronting Wang Qiu'er head-on. He was as stubborn as ever.

Wang Qiu'er raised her head and stared at Wu Feng expressionlessly, her pinkish-blue eyes suddenly turning into brilliant golden vertical pupils.

This time, the oppressive feeling of a superior martial soul that Wu Feng sensed from Wang Qiu'er was even stronger. He staggered back in utter shock, and amidst the scorching aura, fiery red dragon scales covered her body.

Even with the blessing of her martial spirit, she couldn't dispel the fear in her heart.

"Enough, Feng Mei!" Ning Tian approached Wu Feng with a slightly cold expression.

Wu Feng quickly withdrew his martial soul, fearing that the terrifying high temperature associated with his red dragon martial soul would harm Ning Tian. Then, looking aggrieved, he tried to take Ning Tian's hand.

"Ning Tian, ​​I..."

Ning Tian ignored Wu Feng's movements and turned to look at Wang Qiu'er.

"Tianhuang has made some insights and breakthroughs in his cultivation and has gone into seclusion. He asked me to tell everyone that during his absence, Wang Qiu'er, you will be in charge of arranging the team's training."

Wang Qiu'er nodded calmly, then silently walked to the center of the Soul Arena. Before that, she had given Wu Feng a brief reply.

"If you're not convinced, you can challenge me anytime. If you don't have the ability, then shut your mouth."

Wang Qiu'er's oppressive aura, originating from her martial spirit and bloodline, suddenly amplified to its extreme in that instant. Wu Feng's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, seemingly having lost all courage to face Wang Qiu'er.

Zhou Sichen curled his lip in schadenfreude and came to the edge of the Soul Battle Arena with Cao Jinxuan.
