Chapter 7: Ultimate Evolution of the Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul, Come Wipe My Sword!
Chen Xin had gone mad.
He felt that the Seven Kill Sword he had cultivated for his entire life was nothing more than a child swinging a wooden stick in front of that pool water.
If he could drink just one sip of that sword-washing water…
No! Even if he could just smell it once!
He felt that he could instantly break through to Rank 99 Ultimate Douluo on the spot, perhaps even ascend to godhood!
"Fengzhi… I… I want to go."
Chen Xin turned to look at Ning Fengzhi, his eyes filled with pleading, like a child begging for candy.
"I want to go to that world too. I want to go wash swords for that Immortal Lord!"
Ning Fengzhi: "..."
Bone Douluo: "..."
Not just them, the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was stunned.
The dignified Sword Douluo was actually crying and shouting about becoming someone's sword-washing servant?
Was this the allure of a higher-dimensional world?
Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy.
Dai Mubai watched this scene with a face so dark it seemed ready to drip water.
His fiancée!
The second princess of the Star Luo Empire!
Was she going to wash another man's sword?
And judging by the situation, the position of a sword attendant maid seemed far more noble than the Star Luo Empress by countless times.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Dai Mubai slammed his fist onto the table, his eyes bloodshot.
"That's my woman! Why should she?!"
"Who the hell is that Immortal Lord?! If he has the guts, come out and fight me one-on-one! Hiding behind the scenes and pretending to be mysterious—what kind of ability is that?!"
Beside him, Tang San silently moved a few steps away and looked at Dai Mubai as if he were an idiot.
One-on-one?
You can't even break the floor tiles in that place, and you want to challenge the master of that realm?
…
Primordial Immortal Court, Servant Peak, Listening Rain Pavilion.
This place was specially prepared for candidates of the sword attendant maids.
Although it was merely a residence for maids, the pavilions and buildings were exquisitely carved and decorated. Every pillar was carved from ten-thousand-year spirit wood, emitting a faint fragrance that had the effect of calming the mind and stabilizing the spirit.
Zhu Zhuqing was arranged to stay in a small courtyard called Orchid Residence.
"Alright, Zhu Zhuqing."
An older maid responsible for teaching etiquette looked at her sternly.
"Although the Immortal Lord's decree allowed you to become a candidate, that does not mean you can ascend to the heavens in a single step."
"How noble is the Immortal Lord? He is an existence standing above the eternal heavens."
"If you wish to serve the Immortal Lord personally, you must undergo strict screening and training."
"Your cultivation is too low. Your constitution is too weak. And your body carries far too much of the filthy aura from the lower realm."
The older maid waved her hand in mild disgust, as if Zhu Zhuqing had an unpleasant odor.
"For the next three days, you must soak in Marrow Cleansing Spirit Liquid every day. Only after shedding your mortal body and washing away your impurities will you be qualified to wear the sword attendant attire."
After speaking, the older maid clapped her hands.
Two strong servants carried in a huge wooden barrel.
Inside the barrel was a milky-white liquid, with several crystal-like flower petals floating on its surface. A mesmerizing fragrance spread through the air.
"This is…"
Zhu Zhuqing only needed to take one breath before feeling the pores across her entire body open.
The somewhat mixed and impure soul power inside her body began purifying itself automatically.
"This is Hundred Flower Marrow Cleansing Dew."
The older maid explained calmly.
"It is made using morning dew from one hundred kinds of spirit flowers gathered from the Hundred Flower Valley behind the sect, mixed with a single drop of Undying Spring water diluted ten thousand times."
"For servants like us, this is already an extremely rare benefit."
"Get in. Don't waste the medicinal power."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded without hesitation.
She knew this was her opportunity.
In front of the entire continent's live broadcast, she slowly stepped into the wooden barrel. However, any inappropriate parts were automatically covered with a mosaic by the Sky Screen.
"Boom!"
The moment her body submerged into the spirit liquid, a powerful yet gentle force instantly surged through every meridian and bone in her body.
"Mm…"
Zhu Zhuqing could not help but let out a soft groan. There was a hint of pain in the sound, but far more of the comfort of being completely reborn.
In the live broadcast image, Zhu Zhuqing's originally fair skin became even more crystal-clear, like flawless white jade.
Streams of black impurities were expelled from her body.
Those were the mortal impurities granted to her by the Douluo plane.
Behind her, the phantom of her Hell Spirit Cat martial soul automatically appeared.
Originally, it was just an ordinary black spirit cat.
But after absorbing the power of the spirit liquid, it began to mutate.
Its body grew larger, and within its black fur appeared streaks of purple-gold patterns.
Its two eyes transformed—one becoming golden, the other silver.
On its forehead, the faint outline of an ancient king character emerged.
A terrifying pressure from deep within the bloodline spread outward through the screen and swept across the entire Douluo Continent.
Star Luo Empire Imperial Palace.
The Star Luo Emperor suddenly stood up, staring at the scene in disbelief.
"A martial soul evolution?!"
"Is that the new form of the Hell Spirit Cat?!"
"That aura has even surpassed the White Tiger martial soul!"
The Star Luo Emperor trembled with excitement.
"Heaven truly blesses the Star Luo Empire! As long as Zhuqing returns, she will be the next Empress! Whoever dares oppose it, I will exterminate their nine clans!"
However, where some rejoiced, others suffered.
At Shrek Academy.
Watching Zhu Zhuqing bathe in the spirit liquid, undergoing transformation, becoming increasingly beautiful and noble like a goddess from the nine heavens—
Dai Mubai's mentality completely collapsed.
"No… no!!!"
His eyes were bloodshot, and his nails dug deeply into his palms until blood flowed.
The feeling was like something he had casually discarded as worthless trash, suddenly turning into a priceless treasure, and now it was going to serve another man.
This enormous sense of disparity and humiliation drove him nearly insane.
"Zhu Zhuqing! You are my fiancée!"
"How can you bathe at a time like this?! How can you wash yourself so clean just to please that man?!"
"Shameless! Absolutely shameless!"
Dai Mubai cursed wildly at the Sky Screen, completely losing the demeanor of a prince and looking like a hysterical mad dog.
Even Ma Hongjun and Oscar beside him could no longer stand it.
"Boss Dai… she's part of the Immortal Court now. You can't control her anymore…" Ma Hongjun muttered softly.
"Shut up!" Dai Mubai suddenly turned his head, murderous intent filling his evil eyes. "Fatty, do you want to die?!"
Just then, the scene on the Sky Screen changed.
Zhu Zhuqing had already finished bathing and changed into a light-green sword attendant maid outfit.
The clothing seemed to be made of some unknown material. It shimmered with flowing light, perfectly accentuating her figure while carrying an ethereal, immortal aura.
Now she stood on the terrace of the Listening Rain Pavilion, gazing toward the distant Primordial Divine Palace towering into the clouds, wrapped in an endless chaos aura.
In her eyes, the former coldness and stubbornness had vanished.
What replaced it was deep reverence and an indescribable hint of anticipation.
"Immortal Lord…"
Zhu Zhuqing murmured softly.
Although she had never met that man, merely the environment here, the plants and trees, and the overwhelming foundation that made one despair had already carved an indelible and majestic figure in her heart.
Compared to that—
Dai Mubai, who was raging helplessly at Shrek Academy, embracing twin girls, and only knowing how to escape responsibility…
He was not even worthy of a single strand of that man's hair.
"Hmph."
At that moment, an extremely indifferent voice, as if descending from the nine heavens, suddenly echoed in Zhu Zhuqing's ears and across the entire Douluo Continent's live broadcast.
The voice was not loud, but it carried an overwhelming dominance that brooked no resistance.
"Since you've finished washing, come up."
"My sword… should also be wiped."
Boom!
