As soon as the banquet ended, he immediately chose to slip away. He disliked the post-banquet pleasantries the most.
Not long after, Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
"Xue Qinghe has inherited the throne, and the matters here are completely settled." Shi Quan looked at Gu Yuena, "Gu Yuena, can you investigate the situation in Slaughter City? I wonder how Zhuqing's Hell Slaughter Competition is progressing."
Gu Yuena shook her head, "Slaughter City is Shura's territory. Although it's interfered with by Rakshasa's power, Shura's power remains within it. If I come into contact, I could easily be discovered."
"Alright." Shi Quan waved his hand helplessly.
Counting the time, Zhu Zhuqing had been in Slaughter City for over a year and a half.
In the original work, Tang San took two years, but with Zhu Zhuqing's strength and foundation, it certainly wouldn't take her as long as Tang San.
After thinking for a moment, Shi Quan decided to set off for Slaughter City tomorrow. At most, he would just wait outside Slaughter City for a longer period.
Slaughter City, back mountain.
After several days of travel, Shi Quan brought the two girls here, Cultivating and quietly waiting for Zhu Zhuqing to appear.
A month later.
A white Light flashed, and Zhu Zhuqing's figure appeared out of thin air on the back mountain of Slaughter City.
"Hmm?" Shi Quan suddenly looked up. He clearly felt a cold Killing Intent coming from the back mountain, and then he sensed a familiar Aura. A smile immediately appeared on his lips. "Zhuqing is out."
With that, Shi Quan embraced the two girls and soared towards the back mountain.
In a moment, the three of them saw Zhu Zhuqing quietly lying on the lawn.
Shi Quan put the two girls down, and with a flash, he appeared in front of Zhu Zhuqing and carried her in a princess carry.
"Zhuqing's Aura has changed so much." Ye Lingling exclaimed.
"It is Slaughter City after all." Shi Quan looked at Zhu Zhuqing's unconscious figure with some heartache. The Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Light, bloomed from Shi Quan's hand.
Zhu Zhuqing's tightly furrowed brows quickly relaxed.
"Who!"
Zhu Zhuqing quickly woke up. The moment she woke, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes snapped open, and instinctively, she struck out with a palm, a chilling Killing Intent spreading out as if it were substantial.
"It's me." Hearing Shi Quan's familiar voice and seeing the person in front of her clearly, Zhu Zhuqing's hand immediately stopped in mid-air.
"Shi Quan." Zhu Zhuqing tightly hugged Shi Quan's neck.
"Relax, you're out of Slaughter City." Shi Quan gently patted Zhu Zhuqing's back, softly comforting her.
Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan's faces were slightly pale. They took a breath before recovering. The Killing Intent Zhu Zhuqing had just emitted made both their hearts tighten.
"I'm sorry…" Before Zhu Zhuqing could finish her sentence, Shi Quan's finger gently landed on her lips.
"Why apologize to me? It's good that you're safe." Shi Quan gently lowered Zhu Zhuqing from his embrace. "Alright, it's over."
"Zhuqing, are you alright?" Ye Lingling asked softly from the side. She saw that Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Spirit was very tense, so she didn't touch her casually.
Zhu Zhuqing looked back at the two girls, her expression softening a bit, and she softly said, "I'm fine, Sister Lingling."
"Let's go, let's head back first." Shi Quan gently took Zhu Zhuqing's hand. "On the way back, I'll help you control your Aura and relieve your tense Martial Spirit."
"Mm." Zhu Zhuqing nodded lightly.
The group of four set off, leaving the back mountain of Slaughter City.
Along the way, Shi Quan, using the power of his Soul Martial Spirit, quickly helped Zhu Zhuqing relax, and she fell into a deep sleep in Shi Quan's embrace.
Zhu Zhuqing slept for a full three days and three nights.
During those three days, with the ability to enter dreams, her taut nerves completely relaxed.
"Mm~" Zhu Zhuqing woke from a long dream, stretching lazily. She then realized she was lying on a soft lawn, surrounded by towering trees.
"You're awake." Shi Quan's gentle voice came.
"Mm." Zhu Zhuqing slowly got up, looked around, and asked, "Shi Quan, where is this?"
"Star Dou Great Forest."
"What are we doing in the Star Dou Great Forest?"
"To help you achieve Martial Spirit Fusion."
"soul spirit? Shi Quan, your soul spirit research was successful?" Zhu Zhuqing asked in surprise.
"Mm."
"But my current spirit power Rank is only sixty-eight, and I haven't reached a Bottleneck. Can I directly acquire a soul spirit?"
"Ordinary soul spirits naturally won't do, but some powerful soul spirits can!" Shi Quan smiled, gently embracing Zhu Zhuqing, "Let's go, I'll take you there."
The two figures instantly turned into afterimages and disappeared from where they stood, the surrounding tree shadows rapidly receding.
Soon, the two arrived before a lake filled with Life Aura.
Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan were Cultivating by the lake. Besides them, there were three other figures. Zhu Zhuqing recognized two of them: Ditian and Gu Yuena. The remaining figure was quite robust.
Its massive body was fifteen meters tall, covered in thick, dense dark-golden fur. Its arms were incredibly long, hanging by its sides, and despite its enormous body, the length of its arms exceeded its knees.
This meant its arms were over ten meters long and extremely thick. Most exaggerated were its shoulders, with muscles bulging like small hills.
The oppressive feeling of this power felt even more terrifying than the Titan Giant Ape.
"Ditian, you want me to become this little girl's soul spirit?" A deep voice came from the figure's mouth. Its dark-golden eyes were like a pair of peerlessly sharp swords.
Ditian said indifferently, "That's right."
"Shi Quan, is that giant bear a 100,000-year Spirit Beast?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at the giant bear with apprehension.
Shi Quan shook his head and said, "His name is Xiong Jun, and he's a 500,000-year Vicious Beast."
"Five hundred thousand years?" Zhu Zhuqing's pupils contracted.
Xiong Jun's robust figure slowly rose, and with a mighty leap, he came directly from the opposite side of the Life Lake to stand before Zhu Zhuqing and Shi Quan.
With his golden eyes, Xiong Jun surveyed Zhu Zhuqing up and down and said in a booming voice, "Little girl, if you want me to become your soul spirit, then first let me see what you've got!"
Xiong Jun's personality had always been untamed. He was someone who even dared to defy Ditian, so it wouldn't be easy for him to simply become Zhu Zhuqing's soul spirit.
For the subsequent Fusion to go smoothly, Xiong Jun's approval was essential.
Shi Quan could only softly encourage her, saying, "Just do your best."
"Okay!"
Zhu Zhuqing's figure slightly crouched, her Dark Demonic Spirit Cat Martial Spirit released, and her Fallen Wings spread open. Beneath her, six spirit rings — yellow, yellow, purple, purple, red, black — flashed with light.
"Come on!" Xiong Jun lifted his massive bear paw and beckoned towards Zhu Zhuqing.
In an instant, a surging white Light, along with a dark Light, bloomed simultaneously, directly enveloping Xiong Jun.
Her Sixth Spirit Ability, Dark Demonic Domain, and Slaughter God Domain were released simultaneously.
"Not bad Aura!"
Xiong Jun's eyes brightened slightly. He swung his huge bear paw forward, and an extremely sharp Aura soared into the sky, piercing directly through Zhu Zhuqing's Slaughter God Domain and Dark Demonic Domain like a sharp blade.
Looking straight ahead, Zhu Zhuqing's figure had already disappeared, appearing like a Gui Mei directly at Xiong Jun's neck.
Her entire body was like a huge gear, grinding towards Xiong Jun's neck.
"Little girl, are you tickling me?" Xiong Jun scoffed, his head merely tilting back slightly. A terrifying force directly sent Zhu Zhuqing flying.
Zhu Zhuqing's face was slightly pale, but the resolve in her expression remained unchanged. Her Fallen Wings behind her rapidly fluttered, slowing down the recoil force, while her right arm suddenly lifted, activating the Titan Giant Ape Right Arm Bone Spirit Ability.
The surrounding gravity instantly condensed, and in just a moment, the surrounding air was compressed into a terrifying point.
"Titan Sky Shatter!"
Zhu Zhuqing's Titan Sky Shatter was different from Tang San's. Tang San's Titan Sky Shatter was an attack that fully utilized the Titan Giant Ape's strength, focusing on the burst of power. Zhu Zhuqing's Titan Sky Shatter, however, concentrated that power into a single point, focusing on penetration!
Feeling the powerful energy fluctuation of this attack, even Xiong Jun's expression became serious. He swung his huge bear paw fiercely, and his sharp claws directly struck Zhu Zhuqing's Titan Sky Shatter.
The extreme gold's sharp Aura collided with this concentrated thrust of extreme penetrative power.
Boom!
The powerful energy immediately brought forth a violent surge of wind that scattered in all directions.
Shi Quan raised his hand, and Internal Energy surged out, completely isolating these wind surges.
Pink Light flashed, and Zhu Zhuqing's figure disappeared again.
Soft Bones Rabbit Left Arm Bone Spirit Ability, Teleportation.
A faint glow flashed, and Zhu Zhuqing's figure instantly appeared above Xiong Jun's head.
A dark glow erupted from Zhu Zhuqing's forehead, and a dark Aura instantly enveloped the Dark Gold Dreadclaw's brain.
Shadow Dragon Head Spirit Bone Spirit Ability: Shadow Illusion Kill.
Darkness swirled around, shielding the target's perception. Zhu Zhuqing's figure merged into the darkness, her spirit power condensing into a killing blade, which she fiercely thrust towards Xiong Jun's eyes.
Xiong Jun's figure was as steady as Mount Tai. Although his perception was temporarily blocked, he remained completely calm, his five senses all sealed, except for his mouth.
Then, he took a deep breath and roared!
An earth-shattering bear roar, the terrifying sound wave condensed with profound spirit power, transformed into a shockwave that surged in all directions.
Zhu Zhuqing's ears immediately bled, yet her figure did not retreat in the slightest. A curved black hook replaced her slender cat tail.
Black ghostly Light flickered, and the curved hook body instantly straightened into a long thorn, thrusting towards Xiong Jun's mouth.
Evil God Thorns! It possessed the ability to break through an opponent's attack.
The next second, the dark-golden sonic shockwave instantly shattered, transforming into specks of dark-golden Light that dissipated in the air.
After continuously releasing several powerful abilities, Zhu Zhuqing herself needed time to recover her Qi and could no longer use the powerful Spirit abilities from her Spirit Bone.
However, at such close range, the Evil God Hook undoubtedly became Zhu Zhuqing's best attack method. The next second, the sharp Evil God Hook suddenly pierced towards Xiong Jun's eyelid like a sharp sword…
