"Could it be because of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's core?"
Shi Quan's mental force locked onto the core inside Zhu Zhuqing's body. The Soul Power hidden within it had just been suppressed and crushed by him.
"Don't worry, she's fine," Gu Yuena suddenly said.
"Do you know what's going on?" Shi Quan asked, looking at Gu Yuena.
"Her Martial Spirit is highly compatible with the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger. Coupled with her simultaneous absorption of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's energy core and spirit ring, the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's power has perfectly integrated into her Martial Spirit. What remains in the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's corpse is its Bloodline Power. If nothing unexpected happens, with the integration of this Bloodline Power, her Martial Spirit should be able to evolve."
"Evolve?" Shi Quan's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood.
Because he thought of the relationship between the Hell Civet and the White Tiger Martial Spirit. The fact that their Martial Spirits could produce a Spirit Fusion Skill indicated the connection between the Hell Civet and White Tiger Bloodlines.
A pure White Tiger is light-attributed, while the Hell Civet is more inclined towards dark attributes. The Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger mutated due to the Evil God's power, transforming the White Tiger's original light attribute into a dark attribute. Since a White Tiger with the opposite attribute could resonate with it, the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, also a dark attribute, would likely have an even higher compatibility.
In the original work, after Tang San absorbed the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, his spirit power directly increased from Rank 93 to over half of Rank 94.
Moreover, after absorbing the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's spirit ring, the gray aura contained within it, when spreading to the Slaughter God Domain engraved on Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer, collided with the Slaughter God Domain, eventually forming a trend of mutual Fusion.
At that time, Tang San's Slaughter God Domain had already reached its ultimate Realm. The influence of this Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's spirit ring caused the already ultimate Slaughter God Domain to improve again, showing the compatibility between the two.
The original work clearly stated that this Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's spirit ring, apart from having one less Spirit Ability than a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, was in no way inferior to a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring in terms of other enhancements.
Zhu Zhuqing is currently Rank 60. If she doesn't absorb it now, she would have to wait for her seventh spirit ring. However, as the Martial Spirit Avatar, absorbing the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's spirit ring would undoubtedly waste the superb Spirit Ability it contains. But as an eighth spirit ring, its age would be a bit low.
Considering everything, using it as the sixth spirit ring is the best choice.
The enhancement from a single spirit ring alone is astonishing, not to mention the presence of the core.
It is likely that Zhu Zhuqing's gains this time will be much greater than Shi Quan had anticipated.
Thinking of this, Shi Quan's mind calmed down. With a thought, he guided the surrounding energy to continuously gather, doing his best to reduce the pain of Zhu Zhuqing's absorption process.
Three days later.
Black mist enveloped Zhu Zhuqing, and rampant energy surrounded her.
"Ah--"
Zhu Zhuqing's painful cry suddenly came from within the mist. After a violent spasm, the figure in the mist suddenly thrust her chest out, her entire upper body arching.
"The transformation was successful?" Shi Quan's powerful mental force penetrated through layers of mist, just as he was about to ascertain Zhu Zhuqing's current condition.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through, scattering the black mist. The clothes on Zhu Zhuqing's back instantly tore, revealing two fist-sized bulges on either side of her spine.
Immediately after, the two bulges suddenly burst open, and ink-colored wings emerged from the protrusions on Zhu Zhuqing's back, growing rapidly at an astonishing speed.
As the wings spread, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to relax, the expression on her face eased considerably, and her body's spasms slowly stopped.
In addition, the slender tail behind Zhu Zhuqing also changed, becoming much longer than before and standing upright. It was composed of countless bone segments, with a huge barb at the very tip, shining with a chilling, faint light. It was precisely the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's Evil God Thorns!
The ink-colored spirit ring slowly settled on top of the blood-red hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.
Zhu Zhuqing slowly opened her hazy eyes, and seeing Shi Quan in front of her, she couldn't help but reveal a brilliant smile.
"How were your gains?"
"My spirit power is already Rank 67," Zhu Zhuqing excitedly replied.
Shi Quan nodded. It was a bit higher than he expected, but it was also normal.
After all, a sixty-thousand-year spirit ring is normally absorbed as the eighth spirit ring, not to mention that Zhu Zhuqing absorbed a Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's spirit ring, which is comparable to a hundred-thousand-year one. Moreover, she still had energy accumulated from her Spirit Bone, so reaching Rank 67 directly was understandable.
"My Martial Spirit has also evolved. These wings are a result of the evolution. They not only give me the ability to fly, but my speed is also nearly 50% faster than before," Zhu Zhuqing said, gently touching the black wings on her back, her eyes filled with unconcealable excitement.
"Black wings representing corruption?" Shi Quan thought to himself, his gaze falling on the Evil God Thorns behind Zhu Zhuqing. "Zhuqing, this Evil God Thorns shouldn't be a product of evolution, right?"
"Mm," Zhu Zhuqing nodded, "This Evil God Thorns is an external Spirit Bone, it seems to have transformed from that core."
"Good, good," Shi Quan nodded happily. Most of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's abilities came from the Evil God Thorns. Now that Zhu Zhuqing possessed such an external Spirit Bone, her chances of comprehending the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's abilities would only be greater.
Not only did her strength skyrocket and her Martial Spirit evolve, but she also gained such a powerful external Spirit Bone. Zhu Zhuqing's strength had undergone a qualitative improvement.
"What about the Spirit Ability?" Shi Quan was even more curious about what kind of superb Spirit Ability the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger would bring to Zhu Zhuqing.
"The Spirit Ability is Dark Demonic Domain. It unleashes a Dark Demonic Domain, clearing out attribute energies other than dark attributes. Within the barrier, it deprives the enemy of their vision, amplifies all my attributes, and also has a very powerful ability: spirit power suppression!"
"If the enemy's spirit power Rank is higher than mine, it will suppress their spirit power Rank to be the same as mine! However, this ability is not limitless. Currently, it can only affect those below Spirit Douluo. For those above Spirit Douluo, it can only suppress a portion of their spirit power."
"A very powerful Spirit Ability! If I'm not mistaken, after cross-Rank suppression, perhaps the opponent's strongest Spirit Ability will also be affected and unusable."
Restricting the opponent and boosting one's own attributes, the effect is already equivalent to a Domain Skill, especially the spirit power suppression effect, which is essentially a weakened version of a Life-and-death arena, leveling the playing field for 1v1.
"I think so too. It can almost be used as a Domain," Zhu Zhuqing nodded.
This trip was also full of gains.
"Mm. Since you've finished absorbing the spirit ring, let's head to Slaughter City."
The three of them didn't linger in the Star Dou Great Forest and turned to rush towards Slaughter City.
He had already obtained the exact location of Slaughter City from Xue Qinghe, heading north all the way.
After five days of rapid travel, following the guidance of the map, the three finally arrived at the town where Slaughter City was located.
Along the way, Shi Quan had already roughly explained the situation of Slaughter City to Zhu Zhuqing, and also used his mental force to imprint some Cultivation Techniques in Zhu Zhuqing's mind.
Martial arts are killing techniques.
The process of slaughter is undoubtedly one of the best training methods for Cultivating martial arts.
Just outside the town, Gu Yuena's brows furrowed tightly, her gaze sweeping over Shi Quan with a hint of deep meaning.
With his powerful mental force spread out, Shi Quan quickly located a tavern in the town, and led Zhu Zhuqing and Gu Yuena inside.
The air inside the tavern was very murky, and the decorations were all black. Although it was daytime outside, it gave people a cold, dark feeling as if it were night inside.
Excluding the waitstaff, there were a total of twenty-two customers in the entire tavern.
As the three of Shi Quan entered, everyone stared at them, their eyes bloodthirsty, as if sizing up prey. Especially after seeing the stunning beauty of the two women, some people began to make lewd gestures.
Zhu Zhuqing frowned at the people in the tavern, while Shi Quan said indifferently, "Zhuqing, kill all these people."
Zhu Zhuqing froze for a moment. Everyone present paused their movements, looking at Shi Quan with strange expressions.
"This is just an appetizer for entering Slaughter City. Moreover, none of the people who can reach this place are worthy of pity. They all carry heinous sins, so don't hesitate. Leave no one alive, kill them all!"
Before Zhu Zhuqing could act, a burly man closest to her suddenly lunged, "Want to kill me? Let me have some fun first!"
A cold, short blade stabbed out from the big man's hand, aiming directly at Zhu Zhuqing's heart, striking at a fatal spot.
"Is this slaughter?" Zhu Zhuqing's eyes regained their cold light, as if turning into ten-thousand-year-old ice. Her left hand formed a claw, striking out like lightning.
With a crack.
The big man only felt a tearing pain in his right arm, and immediately lost consciousness. Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward, swung another claw, and it landed directly on the big man's chest.
The sound of bones breaking came along with the sound of the dagger falling to the ground.
The big man, with wide eyes filled with astonishment, knelt before Zhu Zhuqing, then fell to the ground. Bright red blood continuously flowed from his chest, and the breath of Life dissipated.
One claw broke an arm, one claw pierced the heart.
The viciousness of the Nine Yin White Bone Claw was fully displayed at this moment.
Zhu Zhuqing's figure slightly crouched, and the black wings representing corruption spread out behind her. Zhu Zhuqing's current Martial Spirit was no longer the Hell Civet. While the former Hell Civet was as elusive as the netherworld, Zhu Zhuqing's current Martial Spirit was like a demon from the dark abyss, making people feel chills and fear.
This was also Zhu Zhuqing's current Martial Spirit, the Dark Demonic Spirit Cat.
Two claws took down one person, leaving twenty-one enemies.
However, not one of these twenty-one showed any fear. Instead, they all looked fanatical, rushing towards Zhu Zhuqing like madmen.
Among the twenty-one, there were only five Spirit Masters, the strongest being merely a four-ring.
Dark aura permeated the air. The sixth spirit ring beneath Zhu Zhuqing lit up, and the already dark bar was completely enveloped in darkness.
Painful wails and the desperate cries before death immediately echoed through the bar like music...
