"Ah—"
How terrifying was the power of Dai Weisi's ninth soul skill? How could Gui Mei possibly withstand it?
Ultimately, amidst a chorus of agonized screams, Gui Mei's figure was swallowed by the light and vanished completely, leaving behind only a pitch-black right leg bone falling to the ground.
It was precisely Gui Mei's unknown black right leg bone. Since the soul bone had dropped, it proved that Gui Mei was thoroughly dead!
After instakilling Gui Mei, Dai Weisi picked up the black right leg bone and handed it to Zhu Zhuqing. In the original story, this soul bone belonged to her.
"Zhuqing, I'm giving this soul bone to you!"
"Heehee, thank you, husband." Zhu Zhuqing smiled and took the right leg bone with satisfaction. "Now I'm only missing a torso bone to complete a full set of soul bones."
Hearing this, Dai Weisi laughed heartedly and rubbed Zhu Zhuqing's small head, smiling. "You are my wife; I will definitely find the best torso bone in existence to give to you."
"I believe you." As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing shyly kissed Dai Weisi on the cheek, then sat cross-legged, impatiently beginning to absorb the soul bone.
Dai Weisi gazed in the direction where Qingluan Douluo had fled and said, "Zhuyun, stay here and protect Zhuqing. I'll go see if I can catch up to Qingluan Douluo!"
"Alright, leave Zhuqing to me. Weisi, go quickly."
"Mm."
With that, Dai Weisi spread his Ice and Fire Wings and sped toward Spirit City. The sound of breaking air was earth-shattering, resembling a hurricane sweeping across the world!
With his speed, it took him only five minutes to catch up to Lie Tianhu and the others. By then, Lie Tianhu had already returned, but there was no sign of Qingluan Douluo.
"Greetings, Crown Prince!"
Seeing his arrival, Lie Tianhu hurriedly saluted and then asked excitedly, "Since the Crown Prince has come here, does it mean Your Highness has dealt with the invading enemy?"
"Indeed! Ghost Douluo has been killed by me, and with a bit of luck, I obtained a soul bone from him." At this point, Dai Weisi shook his head regretfully.
"I originally thought spreading news of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would lure in Spirit Hall so we could catch them like turtles in a jar. I didn't expect only Qingluan Douluo and Ghost Douluo to come. It's a bit of a pity."
"As expected of the Crown Prince, to slay Ghost Douluo so quickly!"
Learning that Gui Mei was dead, Lie Tianhu's eyes instantly filled with excitement. Gui Mei's death didn't just mean Spirit Hall had lost a Titled Douluo; it also meant the Unipolar Static Domain no longer existed in this world.
Without that Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan was not worth mentioning.
"Alright, Uncle Tianhu, let's head back first. Having been caught off guard this time, I expect Bibi Dong and the others now know the Tiger Roar Mountain Range was merely bait—a trap. No one should be coming here for a short while.
We'll go back first and prepare for the selection of the seven great sects."
"By your command."
The group returned together to the Tiger Roar military camp. Once Zhu Zhuqing finished absorbing the soul bone, they returned to Star Luo City. The moment they arrived back in the capital...
The news of Dai Weisi instakilling Ghost Douluo spread like wildfire. Of course, this was also something he intentionally leaked. After all, he had instakilled Gui Mei in front of thirty thousand White Tiger soldiers; even if he wanted to hide it, it probably wouldn't stay secret for long.
Before long, Spirit Hall would know the full story.
In just a few short days, the news that "Dai Weisi has become a Titled Douluo, possesses an orange-gold ninth soul ring, and instakilled Gui Mei" caused a massive uproar. Everyone knew about it; it was like a heavy bomb exploding, splashing water everywhere.
Scholars of the soul master world even pointed out that Dai Weisi's orange-gold ring was very likely a soul ring from a two-hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Once this news broke, the soul master world was filled with nothing but praise for Dai Weisi's talent.
Not only was he the youngest Titled Douluo in the world, but he also possessed a soul ring of at least two hundred thousand years, making countless people green with envy.
Many female soul masters even scrambled to the Crown Prince's estate in Star Luo City, just to catch a glimpse of Dai Weisi and offer themselves to his bed.
It could be said that if Dai Weisi were willing, he could head to bed right here and now! In fact, if he wished, using the sky as a blanket and the earth as a bed wouldn't be out of the question either.
As the news of Dai Weisi becoming a Titled Douluo spread, the Star Luo Empire flourished, enjoying unparalleled prestige. Even many sects that originally intended to join Spirit Hall had to reconsider throwing themselves into the embrace of the Star Luo Empire.
Compared to the thriving development of Star Luo, the inside of Spirit Hall was a mess. Losing a Titled Douluo caused a significant drop in morale among the soul masters.
Even Yue Guan, upon learning of Gui Mei's death, locked himself in his room, drowning his sorrows in alcohol all day. He even neglected the various rare flowers and herbs he usually loved most.
Qian Daoliu, meanwhile, had already opened the Nine Trials of the Angel for Qian Renxue and was largely indifferent to the matter. In his view, as long as Qian Renxue could become the Angel God, nothing else mattered.
As for Bibi Dong, after discovering that Dai Weisi was already a Rank 97 Super Douluo, she calmed down with rare restraint. She didn't clamor for revenge against Star Luo; instead, she closed off Spirit Hall and devoted herself entirely to the Rakshasa God Trials.
For a time, the entire Douluo Continent was peaceful. However, whether it was Dai Weisi or Bibi Dong, they both knew very well that this was merely the calm before the storm.
Therefore, in the days that followed, Dai Weisi also devoted himself entirely to cultivation. Although he didn't know if he could become a God, he at least needed to become a demi-god.
Time flew by, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.
In those three years, Dai Weisi's soul power had reached the peak of Rank 98, just one step away from becoming a Rank 99 Peerless Douluo. And yet, he was only just in his early thirties.
He wasn't the only one; Anna, Zhu Zhuyun, and the others had also made significant progress during these three years. First was Zhu Zhuyun; after three years of cultivation, her soul power had broken through Rank 90, making her a quasi-Titled Douluo.
The reason she hadn't gone to obtain a soul ring was that she wanted the one most suitable for her—a God-bestowed soul ring. For this, she had been waiting for the day Anna completed the Eighth Trial of the Sea God.
Then there were Zhu Zhuqing and Tang Yuehua, whose soul power reached the peak of Rank 89 and Rank 81, respectively.
Tang Yuehua had undergone three years of bitter cultivation at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Finally, half a month ago, she successfully broke through Rank 80 and, with Dai Weisi's help, obtained her eighth soul ring!
However, the one with the greatest change was Anna. Benefiting from the spiritual energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, her soul power finally broke through Rank 90 today. She was only one soul ring away from becoming a Titled Douluo!
"Brother Weisi, my soul power has reached Rank 90. I'm already a quasi-Titled Douluo!" Feeling the breakthrough in her soul power, Anna immediately beamed with joy.
"Haha, yes, my Nana is truly amazing." Dai Weisi laughed. Three years had passed, and Anna had fully grown into a graceful and beautiful young woman.
To break through the Rank 90 bottleneck, Anna had put in a lot of effort, absorbing the medicinal power of a full hundred Nine-Grade Purple Mushrooms before she could finally break through while the bottleneck was loosened!
