Chapter 121 The Second Ability of the Creation God Ring.
"Finally, the second seal of the Creation God Ring has been broken!"
Lu Xiao felt the surging, ceaseless power of creation within his body, seemingly capable of invoking the very origin of the world with a single thought, especially the profound information about the authority of "creation" that had appeared in his mind.
An irresistible impulse surged within him.
The breaking of the second seal of the Creation God Ring granted him more than just an increase in power.
It granted him almost the authority of a "rule-maker."
Within the framework of the existing rules of the Douluo Continent, he could now perform "creation" to a limited extent.
This was not a simple energy shaping.
It involved deeper operations such as the origin of life and soul imprints!
Creating soul rings, creating soul skills.
Even... modifying and even creating martial souls!
Once this thought arose, it grew wildly like weeds.
His gaze swept over the people in the courtyard.
Finally, it landed on Zhu Zhuqing, who stood quietly to the side, her temperament aloof.
Among those present, Ye Lingling's Nine-Hearted Begonia had already evolved, and Dugu Yan's Ice Flame Poisonous Serpent, tempered by ice and fire and nourished by immortal herbs, was also extraordinary.
Ao Yin even possessed an Elemental Dragon Martial Soul.
Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda also had the potential to evolve due to the Qiluo Tulip.
Only Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld Cat Martial Soul, although possessing excellent agility and attack attributes, had not undergone a fundamental transformation.
In the current Beidou Academy, where geniuses abound and Martial Souls are constantly evolving, she already seemed to be falling behind the top tier.
In future battles, a powerful Martial Soul would be crucial.
"Zhuqing, come here for a moment," Lu Xiao said gently.
Zhu Zhuqing was slightly taken aback, a hint of doubt flashing in her clear, beautiful eyes.
But she had absolute trust in Lu Xiao.
Upon hearing this, she immediately stepped forward and respectfully bowed, saying, "Dean."
Lu Xiao looked at her and asked directly, "Zhu Qing, if there were an opportunity to change or even enhance your martial soul, but the process might be somewhat unknown, would you be willing to try?"
These words stunned not only Zhu Zhu Qing, but everyone around, including Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, all wore expressions of disbelief!
Changing one's Martial Soul?
This was unheard of!
Martial Souls were predetermined, born with the soul, and were the foundation of the Douluo Continent's power system!
Obtaining an opportunity to evolve one's Martial Soul was already incredibly difficult.
Even those like Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, whose Martial Souls were strengthened and mutated based on their original ones, were examples.
The "change" the Dean spoke of seemed to have a deeper meaning!
Zhu Zhuqing's heart pounded uncontrollably, a rare flush of excitement appearing on her usually cold face.
She knew the limitations of her Netherworld Cat Martial Soul.
Although its speed and attack power were considerable, its potential seemed to have reached its limit.
If… if her Martial Soul could truly undergo a fundamental improvement…
Without hesitation, she took a deep breath and nodded firmly: "Dean, I'm willing!"
"No matter the outcome, Zhuqing will be eternally grateful!"
She believed the Dean wouldn't harm her.
This might be the only chance to change her fate!
"Good, relax, don't resist."
Lu Xiao nodded slightly, signaling Zhu Zhuqing to release her Martial Soul.
Zhu Zhuqing did as instructed, her soul power surging.
A phantom black spirit cat appeared behind her, its dark eyes flashing with keen light.
It was the Netherworld Spirit Cat Martial Soul.
The next moment, Lu Xiao slowly raised his right hand.
There was no fluctuation of soul power in his palm, but specks of golden light began to gather.
The light was not dazzling, but it seemed to contain all the mysteries of the beginning of heaven and earth: life, destruction, order, chaos... all kinds of opposing yet unified auras flowed within it.
As the golden light gathered, the surrounding space became viscous, and the light distorted.
Li Bai, Sun Wukong, and the others had solemn expressions. They did their best to maintain the protective barrier.
They could feel that the power the Dean was currently using had touched the most fundamental level of this world!
Lu Xiao's gaze fell on the Netherworld Spirit Cat phantom behind Zhu Zhuqing, and the magnificent Creation God Ring Martial Soul behind him emerged.
In his "vision," Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul was no longer just a phantom.
Rather, it is a unique existence woven from countless intricate and complex soul runes, bloodline imprints, and threads of the rules of heaven and earth.
"In the name of creation, reshape its foundation, elevate its soul..."
Lu Xiao silently recited the creation method he had just comprehended, the light in his palm seeming to possess life.
It gently enveloped the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul.
"Buzz!"
The illusory Netherworld Cat trembled violently, emitting a cry that wasn't of pain, but rather a joyful cry as if its life force had leaped to a higher level!
Its form began to change visibly! Its originally slender body became more agile and fluid, brimming with explosive power.
Its jet-black fur became even deeper, seemingly able to absorb all light, and at the tips of its fur, a layer of mysterious dark gold patterns was faintly tinged.
The most significant change was in its eyes.
Its originally dark pupils had transformed into vertical pupils like the purest amethyst.
Deep, mysterious... an aura far more powerful, noble, and majestic than before emanated from this transforming Martial Soul!
It was no longer simply the aura of agility-based beast Martial Soul, but carried a trace... of the pressure of a top predator.
Even a trace of a faint divine beast's aura!
Zhu Zhuqing kept her eyes tightly shut.
Her body trembled slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
She could clearly feel that her martial soul was being cleansed and reshaped.
Everyone around held their breath, staring in disbelief at this miraculous scene!
Changing her martial soul—the Dean had actually done it!
Ning Rongrong covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief, and exchanged glances with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
They both saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Li Bai's eyes flashed, and he sighed softly, "Enlightening the martial soul, reshaping the foundation… the Dean's realm is beyond our comprehension."
Sun Wukong scratched his head and chuckled.
"The Dean's methods are amazing, amazing!"
Time passed slowly.
The mysterious aura finally dissipated.
The illusory martial soul behind Zhu Zhuqing solidified completely.
It was no longer the Netherworld Cat.
Instead, it was a completely new existence that no one had ever seen before—elegant, mysterious, and full of power!
Slightly larger than a spirit cat, its body was sleek and perfectly proportioned, covered in dark, night-like fur adorned with mysterious dark gold patterns.
"My Martial Soul..."
Zhu Zhuqing slowly opened her eyes.
Her once clear and cold gaze deepened.
She felt the surging soul power within her, several times purer and stronger than before, and the new Martial Soul that perfectly merged with her soul, as at her fingertips.
She was so excited she almost cried.
She tried to activate her Martial Soul.
Her figure instantly blurred, as if merging into the shadows.
The speed was incredible.
It left a lingering afterimage in place!
This speed far exceeded her previous limits!
"Dean...this..."
Zhu Zhuqing's voice trembled slightly as she looked at Lu Xiao, her eyes filled with endless gratitude and inquiry.
Lu Xiao looked at the new Martial Soul, feeling the powerful forces within it—"Shadow," "Extreme Speed," and "Tearing"—and nodded in satisfaction.
He smiled and said, "Very good. It inherited the agility and attack power of the Netherworld Cat, but its potential and status are now incomparable."
"From now on, it will be called—'Dark Night Cat'."
"Dark Night Cat..."
Zhu Zhuqing murmured, repeating the name.
Feeling the closeness and power emanating from her martial soul, she bowed deeply to Lu Xiao.
"Zhuqing, thank you, Dean, for your life-saving grace!"
She knew!
From this day forward, her destiny had completely changed!
Possessing the Dark Night Cat martial soul, she finally had the capital to catch up with and even other geniuses.
She possessed the potential to stand at the pinnacle of the continent!
At the very moment Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul transformation was complete, Dai Mubai, far away at Shrek Academy, suddenly felt a pang of fear.
It was as if something important was slipping away from him.
Or perhaps... it was becoming unattainable in a way he couldn't understand.
He shook his head, suppressing this inexplicable emotion, and continued to watch the information on the celestial screen before him.
