Chapter 250 Zhu Qing
Just when Su Cheng took Zhu Zhuqing to the Blue Silver Grass Forest, Qian Renxue, who had finished her training and had nothing to do, also took the initiative to come to the Pope's Palace and found Bibi Dong.
At this time, Bibi Dong was in the room where the Pope handled official business, sitting on a golden chair behind a huge square table, reading the information sent from the main halls of martial arts in various places.
When she heard the sound of the door opening, she did not look up, but just said casually: "When did you become so rude?"
Qian Renxue ignored the other party's questioning and swept her eyes over the documents scattered on the table.
"The high-level changes in the Kingdom of Silves, the prince's son was assassinated...
"An unknown soul saint appeared in the Fasno Province of the Tiandou Empire..."
"..."
Seeing that this information basically came from irrelevant places in the corners of the continent, she didn't care and looked at the figure behind the table.
"What's the situation with your new apprentice?"
"You mean Zhuqing? "
Bibi Dong put down the paper and pen in her hand and leaned back, leaning on the silk cushion of the seat behind her. She stretched out her arm to support her chin, and picked up the teacup beside her lazily.
The sunlight outside the window shone through the steam rising above the teacup, shining on her beautiful cheeks, coating the soft lines of her perfect profile with a layer of golden light.
Even the fine hair on her fair skin seemed to be clearly visible.
Bibi Dong first sipped the hot tea in the cup slowly, and then slowly said: "She is the fourth daughter of the Duke of the Netherworld of the Xingluo Empire, and theoretically should also be the fiancée of Dai Mubai, the third prince of the Xingluo Empire."
"Dai Mubai? Who is that?" Qian Renxue was stunned when she heard the words. She had no impression of this name.
"That is... forget it, you can see for yourself. "
Bibi Dong stopped talking halfway, raised her hand and pulled out a file bag from the cabinet behind her, and threw it to her.
Qian Renxue reached out to catch it, looked at her suspiciously, then opened the file bag, pulled out the information inside and flipped through it.
As she looked back, her expression began to change slightly, and her brows gradually frowned.
"I really underestimated this girl. She actually has such a method...
"The spirit evolved from the ordinary Nether Spirit Cat to the Nether White Tiger. At the same time, Dai Mubai, who had studied with her at Shrek Academy before, also disappeared as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth?"
Hearing her subconscious sigh, Bibi Dong's eyes flickered, but it was fleeting.
When Qian Renxue looked up, her expression had returned to normal, and there was no sign of abnormality.
"Dai Mubai is the third prince of the Xingluo Empire and Zhu Zhuqing's fiancé. The family spirit of the Xingluo royal family is the top beast spirit white tiger, which can form a spirit fusion skill Nether White Tiger with the Zhu family's Nether Spirit Cat spirit.
"And the other pair of heirs of the Xingluo royal family is the eldest prince Davis and his fiancée Zhu Zhuyun?
"Logically speaking, with Zhu Zhuqing's seventh-level innate spirit power talent, there is no reason to let her spirit go further. Even if it can really achieve evolution, the person who can do it should be Dai Mubai, who has a higher level of innate spirit power."
Qian Renxue said slowly and thoughtfully.
"Zhu Zhuqing's Nether White Tiger spirit may have a very problematic origin..."
"I didn't say that." Bibi Dong said lightly, "It's not like your style to slander others behind their backs without any evidence."
Seeing her behavior, Qian Renxue frowned with disgust.
What she hates most now is the other party's pretentious and mysterious attitude.
Especially in the past year or so, Bibi Dong has become more and more strange, and many of her actions are completely unpredictable.
"Why do you suddenly want to take her as your apprentice? Are you not satisfied with Nana?"
Qian Renxue put the pile of information and the file bag on the table at the same time, crossed her arms and looked down at Bibi Dong, who looked leisurely in front of her, and kept tapping her elbow with her index finger.
"Nana is of course very satisfying to me. She is much more obedient than you. But who stipulates that I can only take one apprentice? I also want to take Su Cheng as my apprentice." Bibi Dong said nonchalantly.
"You are so shameless." Qian Renxue sneered, then waved her hand, "You can do whatever you want, I don't bother to care about you."
After that, she turned and left the Pope's Palace.
She came here just to understand Zhu Zhuqing's general situation. Now that she already knew it, she no longer wanted to stay any longer.
Living under the same roof with Bibi Dong would only make her feel bored.
And she didn't have time to waste here now.
The soul bone that was melted earlier contained a huge amount of energy, as well as the law power contained in the special soul bone skills, which needed to be comprehended and integrated bit by bit.
The pressure she was under now was actually not small.
Although she could fight against the divine power after possessing the innate power, her own level was too low after all, and it was obviously unrealistic to say that she could completely transform and absorb it in a short time.
The two souls entangled with each other in the depths of the sea of consciousness, if she had a slight advantage before and her will was stronger, now she was far behind the main personality.
She needed to achieve a deeper level of comprehension of the skills as soon as possible, and transform the energy of the sacred attributes, so that she could regain the balance.
The Cangming Change that Su Cheng taught her was just the beginning. After all, Su Cheng was just a bystander. If she really wanted to further improve the skills, she still needed to continue to understand it herself.
"Strange..."
After Qian Renxue left, Bibi Dong did not show any signs of relaxation, but frowned subconsciously, feeling surprised.
She had been prepared to confront Qian Renxue, and even thought of the words, but she did not expect that the other party would just brush the matter off so lightly.
She could not help but secretly wonder what Su Cheng had said to her.
Qian Renxue's abnormal reaction made her feel a little uneasy, which was not what she expected.
Su Cheng thought Bibi Dong had changed her character now, but it was obviously that he thought too much.
The reason why he took the initiative to propose that Zhu Zhuqing go out with him to train was just because Bibi Dong had other ideas.
Of course, she was not so kind and willing to take the blame for Su Cheng.
Even in the simulation world, she used to win by conspiracy and sneak attack in battle, in order to be foolproof, and she did not follow martial ethics at all.
Now, how could she be so selfless?
Moreover, for her, she could be a little tolerant of others in certain matters. But she would do everything she could to stop Qian Renxue.
Blue Silver Grass Forest.
After negotiating with the Blue Silver King, Su Cheng took out a bottle of medicine bottle with a light red luster and handed it to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Do you still remember this thing?"
Zhu Zhuqing raised her eyebrows. How could she forget this medicine?
Without saying much, she reached out and took this powerful medicine that could stimulate the blood in a short time and make it float out of the body.
Waiting for Su Cheng to continue to say the rest.
Su Cheng did not keep it a secret, and explained seriously: "You just heard it. Later, this soul beast king of the Blue Silver Grass clan will help you condense a new soul ring. At that time, you can take this opportunity to be promoted to Soul Emperor."
"Directly condense the soul ring without hunting soul beasts?" Zhu Zhuqing was very surprised.
She didn't know about this kind of thing before, and she had never heard of anyone who could do this.
"That's right, there's no need to hunt soul beasts. Next, you just need to do what I say, and you can condense a sixth soul ring that fully matches your martial soul attributes and has reached the limit of your ability to bear."
"What should I do?" Zhu Zhuqing was only surprised for a moment and then returned to normal.
After all, compared to other things Su Cheng had done before, condensing soul rings by oneself does not seem to be that rare.
Su Cheng pointed to the Blue Silver King, "It will use this forest to attract enough free soul power for you, and then you can use the potion. You don't need to take too much, just two drops are enough. Then you can run the exercises with all your strength to stimulate your Nether White Tiger bloodline.
"With the help of medicine and exercises, there will naturally be a blank ring of law. As long as there is a ring of law, the large amount of soul power attracted by the Blue Silver King will naturally gather in it, increasing its age.
"When you feel it's almost there, follow the normal action of absorbing the soul ring, stabilize it, and completely incorporate it into the martial soul, and you can form a sixth soul ring that completely matches the Nether White Tiger martial soul."
Speaking of this, Su Cheng looked at her thoughtfully.
"With your current foundation, I estimate that you should be able to withstand at least 80,000 years of the sixth soul ring."
Zhu Zhuqing's physical fitness far exceeds her current level, and is even stronger than Qian Renxue with the same cultivation, and is not much worse than Su Cheng at that time.
Although she does not have the blessing of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone and the five elements perfection, she also has a 100,000-year-old soul bone.
The most important thing is that she has taken two immortal herbs that can greatly improve her physical strength.
As for other aspects, Zhu Zhuqing is not much different from Su Cheng.
She started practicing the Nirvana Sutra very early, and has a fourth soul ring and a fifth soul ring that are far beyond the limit of years to improve the foundation.
With the accumulation of these conditions, her quality is extraordinary.
Moreover, it is not particularly difficult for Zhu Zhuqing to condense the soul ring.
After all, her skills are special and tailor-made. They are specially used to cultivate the Nether White Tiger Martial Soul, which can easily stimulate her own blood.
There will be no accidents no matter how you look at it.
"Are you ready?" Su Cheng looked at Zhu Zhuqing and confirmed it.
Zhu Zhuqing looked back at him, and there seemed to be something else in her eyes.
But before she had time to think about it, the girl turned her eyes away and nodded to the Blue Silver King, saying, "It's OK."
As her voice fell, the vast breath spread and gathered from the entire forest.
At this moment, in this ancient forest, a small world composed of countless plants and trees, all eyes were focused on Zhu Zhuqing.
The faint blue light emanated from the tiny blue silver grasses, and then gathered bit by bit, gradually forming a blue ocean.
In the center of the ocean, Zhu Zhuqing stood there quietly, her body and mind were extremely peaceful.
The tension and anxiety of the bloody killings over the past year, the fatigue and anxiety brought by the hard training day and night, all quietly dissipated at this moment.
Her eyes were slightly closed.
Her straight nose, slender eyebrows, and plump red lips were dotted on her white jade-like cheeks.
Under her smooth neck, her breasts were fuller than those of women of the same age.
Looking down, her waist was flexible and slender, her hips were round and straight, and her legs were long and straight.
The whole person was like a stone statue carefully carved by God, so perfect that it was almost unreal.
Suddenly, her eyes opened, and her black pupils were as bright as stars.
The perfect sculpture suddenly came to life.
The long black hair was lifted up, like a black ribbon dancing in the air.
She looked unusually light and cheerful, and the cold and violent aura she once had was almost gone.
The wind was blowing.
But this was no longer the bloody wind mixed with strong blood in the Killing City.
The blue light surged like a wave, washing away the layers of dirt in the fierce wind and dyeing it with a faint blue light.
The bloody evil thoughts in the Killing City were indeed overbearing and stubborn, but compared to this vast ancient forest, they were still just a drop in the ocean.
Blood dripping into a teacup can still dye the tea red, so what effect can it have if it drips into a lake?
Looking at the elf-like figure in the forest, Su Cheng's eyes flashed with surprise.
He did not expect that Zhu Zhuqing had a new understanding at this moment.
Even her talent field has taken a step further and emerged naturally.
Zhu Zhuqing unscrewed the bottle cap and dripped two drops of medicine into her mouth.
Soon, a faint bloody aura rose from her body.
This had nothing to do with the murderous aura, but came from her restless Netherworld White Tiger bloodline.
The bloody aura condensed again in the air, forming a giant white tiger more than ten feet long.
White fur and purple pupils, black lines interlaced, and a pair of hurricane wings that covered the sky and the sun stretched out on the back.
The level 60 soul power level pushed the Nirvana Sutra to operate at full capacity. Under her feet, in addition to the five soul rings of yellow, yellow, purple, black, and black, a new aura of nothingness appeared.
When the aura appeared, the surging blue light around began to rush into it.
The transparent and colorless aura of nothingness also began to be stained with various colors.
The yellow light only existed for a short time before it quickly deepened and turned into purple light, and then gradually turned black and dark...
Zhu Zhuqing's body was also stained with a layer of blue halo.
The delicate but cold face began to soften, and the long black hair faintly revealed a hint of dark blue luster.
The huge blue light continued to pour in, and the newly born sixth soul ring under her feet began to climb to the level of 20,000 years, 30,000 years...
Then, 40,000 years, 50,000 years, 60,000 years...
As time slowly passed, Su Cheng's face changed.
At this time, the age of the new soul ring was approaching the level of 90,000 years, which had exceeded the upper limit of what Su Cheng had estimated that she could bear.
What is Zhu Zhuqing doing? !
How many years of soul rings can she absorb? Doesn't she have any idea? !
"Zhuqing..." Su Cheng's expression was a little ugly, his fingers were creaking, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, revealing a hint of hesitation.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't understand where her limit was?
No, she understood it too well.
She even knew better than Su Cheng what level the limit of soul rings she could absorb should be.
Eighty-nine thousand years.
Eighty-nine thousand years of soul rings is the limit of what her body can bear now.
If she continued to absorb soul power to increase her age and climb up, every additional thousand years would be like testing the edge of death.
But she still did it.
She knew her situation.
In terms of talent, even though she now had a god-level martial soul like the Nether White Tiger, she was far inferior to the girl of heaven in the Spirit Hall, the darling who was favored by heaven.
In terms of age, she was ten years younger than that person. Ten years of training time was almost a natural gap for two geniuses. What's more, the other person's talent was far better than hers.
In terms of decision-making, that person was also meticulous and decisive, and never showed mercy when he had to act.
What's more, in this world, it is difficult to achieve anything just by conspiracy and calculation.
In the final analysis, everything still depends on strength.
A year ago, the sword in front of the Pope's Palace in the Spirit City shattered her fantasy, but did not shatter her will.
And her only confidence was her own will.
A will that even Su Cheng admired.
"It's just life and death."
The sweat had already dried up, and the tranquility and peace a moment ago seemed like a fleeting dream, while the endless and intense pain was eternal.
Fine blood beads appeared on his body, and his cheeks, which were originally as delicate as stone carvings, now looked like fragile porcelain, and cracks began to appear.
The tightly clenched upper and lower gums gradually oozed out strands of blood, and the roots of the teeth had already produced a slight looseness.
The bones in the body creaked, and the muscles and meridians were broken inch by inch.
The gusts of wind swirling around him whistled and swept, making a strange "woohoo" sound.
The sound became more and more excited, like the last sonata before death.
The blood quickly soaked through the clothes, and the exposed neck and arms even began to break and explode, revealing the bones with silver-gray light under the skin and muscles...
"Do you want to stop her..."
The transparent light bloomed at Su Cheng's fingertips, flickering.
At this time, just a light touch can completely interrupt the process of condensing the soul ring.
Not only that, intervening with the innate power will not even damage the other party's foundation.
In this way, Zhu Zhuqing will only get a 90,000-year-old sixth soul ring, but she will no longer have to worry about her life. Moreover, this level of soul ring is already a surprise for her extraordinary performance.
He should do this.
Because Zhu Zhuqing does not need to work so hard.
She is only sixteen years old, her strength is already among the best of her peers, and she still has a longer-term future.
What's more, even if she is stronger, what's the use?
It can't affect the overall situation at all.
In comparison, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue are the future combat forces worthy of attention.
"..."
Su Cheng's fingers trembled slightly.
He rarely hesitated.
But at this moment, he hesitated rarely.
This finger went down.
Not only did he break his own determination to stop forcibly manipulating Zhu Zhuqing's choice, but he also broke the other party's spirit.
From now on, when Zhu Zhuqing encounters difficulties again and is about to break through, will she hesitate because of today's retreat?
Will she choose to settle for the second best and no longer be as brave and diligent as in the past?
Even if this retreat was not out of her instinctive will, many things are not calculated in this way.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing herself must have made a great determination.
No one is not afraid of death, and she is the same.
It's just that the desire to become stronger and the determination to break through herself overwhelms the fear between life and death.
If she was stopped here by Su Cheng, she might have some regrets.
But when you think back on it, you will inevitably feel fear and relief.
She will become weak because of this.
On the road of cultivation, this kind of determination to overcome all obstacles and not fear life and death is not something that can be forged in one go.
Instead, it is accumulated and improved through various hardships. Similarly, it will be constantly worn away or lost for various reasons.
The improvement of strength is certainly valuable.
But this level is not just a simple breakthrough of a soul ring for her.
This is a baptism of her will.
"..."
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing and then at Su Cheng standing not far away, the Blue Silver King's old face showed a trace of anxiety, and even seemed a little panic.
The girl at the center of the storm, at this time, the breath of life is like a candle in the wind, and she may die at any time.
Of course, it may feel a little pity that the person died, but it will not think it is a big deal.
After all, it is a soul beast that has truly lived for tens of thousands of years. It has long been accustomed to such things and will hardly have any emotional fluctuations because of it.
The person that frightened it was Su Cheng.
At this moment, Su Cheng was restrained, standing there like a statue, without revealing a single sharp edge.
But between his eyes and eyebrows, he exuded an extremely terrifying will.
Especially the ray of transparent and colorless energy around his fingertips, which made it silent and afraid to make a sound.
