Chapter 87 Alliance
"With a top-tier ally like Princess Xue Ke, coupled with the inherent strength of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the possibility of an alliance with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Heaven Dou Empire's power is likely to surpass that of the Star Luo Empire!"
"Wu Hun City is probably going to be restless. Two goddess-ranked powerhouses have successively clashed with Wu Hun City; the balance of power on this continent is likely to tilt!"
Discussions surged like a tide across the continent, from the bustling capital to remote towns, from noisy taverns to quiet forests; almost every corner was talking about this suddenly rising princess of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Meanwhile, within the imperial palace of the Heaven Dou Empire's capital, jubilation reigned.
Princess Xue Ke was in her own palace, an exquisitely decorated palace adorned with white swan statues and sparkling crystals, the air filled with a faint floral fragrance.
She wore a pale pink princess dress, the hem embroidered with lifelike white swan patterns. Her long, black hair was styled into an elegant updo, adorned with several lustrous pearls. She looked like a princess from a fairy tale, gentle and captivating.
At this moment, Xue Ke sat before her dressing table, her maid combing her hair.
She was preparing for the upcoming royal banquet when she suddenly felt a gentle yet powerful force descend from the sky, enveloping her entire body.
This power was different from Liu Erlong's violent fire power, and also different from Zhu Zhuyun's domineering evolutionary power. It was like a gentle spring rain, nourishing silently, yet carrying a call from the depths of her bloodline.
When the list information on the sky clearly appeared before her eyes, Xue Ke's clear eyes widened suddenly, her small mouth slightly open, her face filled with disbelief.
"Seventeenth on the Goddess Ranking... Martial Soul evolved into an Emerald Swan... Soul Power increased by four levels..."
Xue Ke murmured to herself, her voice trembling slightly, a mixture of surprise and bewilderment.
She had never imagined that she could actually climb this mysterious and unpredictable Goddess Ranking, let alone receive such a generous reward.
Although her White Swan Martial Soul was pure, it wasn't particularly outstanding in the powerful Heaven Dou Empire's royal family. Now, to evolve it into the legendary Emerald Swan was an incredible stroke of luck!
Just as she was lost in thought, a gentle silver energy flowed into her meridians like a stream, circulating throughout her body via her blood.
Unlike the pain and ferocity experienced by other powerhouses during breakthroughs, Xue Ke felt only extreme comfort and warmth, as if soaking in a hot spring, every pore on her body opening up.
Her soul power, originally at the mid-stage of Soul Master level 26, began to grow wildly under the nourishment of the silver energy, like parched seedlings receiving rain.
Level 26 peak!
Level 27!
Level 28!
Level 29!
Level 30!
In just a few breaths, Xue Ke's soul power broke through four levels in succession, firmly settling at the peak of level 30 Soul Master!
The breakthrough of the bottleneck brought no hindrance whatsoever; the silver energy acted as the gentlest catalyst, making her soul power foundation incredibly stable.
At the same time, her martial soul also began to undergo earth-shattering changes.
The originally flawless white swan phantom behind her slowly unfolded its wings. Under the embrace of silver energy, the feathers gradually took on a light emerald hue, like fine jade carvings, crystal clear, radiating a soft luster.
The phantom's size also increased slightly, its neck becoming more slender and graceful, and a bright red crest grew on its head, like a speck of cinnabar in jade, appearing exceptionally noble.
The emerald swan phantom let out a clear and melodious cry, the sound like heavenly music, resounding throughout the entire palace.
Within the cry was a pure healing and purifying power; the flowers, plants, and trees within the palace seemed to be nourished, instantly becoming even more lush and verdant.
Some guards and palace maids with hidden injuries felt a surge of relief upon hearing the cry; their long-standing wounds miraculously eased.
"Is this... the power of the Emerald Swan?"
Xue Ke felt the surging soul power within her body and the powerful abilities contained within her martial soul, her eyes gleaming with excitement.
She could clearly feel that her martial soul not only retained the pure support abilities of the white swan but also gained the unique healing and purification power of the emerald swan.
Now, her support soul skills could not only increase the speed and soul power recovery speed of her teammates but also heal them in battle and purify the toxins and evil energy contained in the enemy's soul skills.
In particular, the breakthrough of the bottleneck of the level 30 Soul Master granted her the right to comprehend the third soul skill.
A surge of information about the third soul skill flooded into her mind like a sudden enlightenment.
"Emerald Healing" could instantly release a rich emerald-colored healing energy, restoring a large amount of qi and blood and soul power to the target while purifying the negative status within the body.
Xue Ke subconsciously activated the third soul skill, and the emerald swan phantom wings on her back flapped, enveloping her in a rich emerald-colored light shield.
She could clearly feel the healing power contained within the light shield constantly nourishing her body, making her soul power, which had become slightly agitated due to her rapid breakthrough, more stable.
"Ke'er! My good daughter!"
A joyful voice rang out from outside the palace. Emperor Xue Ye, accompanied by the Empress and several royal elders, strode in, his face filled with satisfaction and pride.
The Empress quickly walked to Xue Ke's side, gently taking her hand, her eyes full of affection.
"Ke'er, this is wonderful! I never imagined you would make it onto the Goddess Ranking and receive such a generous reward. Your mother is so proud of you!"
Emperor Xue Ye also stepped forward, gently patting Xue Ke's shoulder, and said in a deep voice.
"As expected of the princess of our Heaven Dou Empire, your martial soul has evolved into the Emerald Swan, and your soul power has broken through to level 30 Soul Master. This is not only your glory, but also the glory of our entire Heaven Dou Empire!"
The First Elder stroked his white beard and smiled, "Your Highness is exceptionally talented and gentle. Now, with the blessing of the rankings, you are truly a blessing to the Heaven Dou Empire."
"The healing and purification power of the Emerald Swan is considered one of the top support abilities on the continent. With Your Highness in charge, the military strength and overall foundation of our Heaven Dou Empire will experience a qualitative leap!"
The Second Elder echoed, "Indeed! Looking across the entire continent, top-tier support soul masters are already scarce, and a martial soul like the Emerald Swan, which combines support, healing, and purification abilities, is even rarer, appearing only once in a thousand years."
"When Your Highness grows up, you will surely become the pillar of our Heaven Dou Empire!"
Xue Ke's cheeks flushed slightly as she bowed and said, "Father, Mother, and elders, my achievements today are entirely due to the careful guidance of Father and Mother and the nurturing of the Empire."
"From now on, I will definitely cultivate diligently, live up to everyone's expectations, and contribute my own strength to the Heaven Dou Empire!"
