Douluo: Dragon King: Natural God King

Chapter 354 Red Soul! (4.1k) (ask for monthly ticket!)

In the inheritance hall of the Spirit Pagoda.

Jing Shaoyu was sitting on the ground carefree. In front of him, the two souls of Hong Fei and Anya were happily devouring the red soul rings floating in the air one after another. Their movements were smooth and fluid, as if they had done it many times.

This is indeed the case. Although Jing Shaoyu's two souls have only had the experience of devouring and absorbing soul rings once, on the sea two years ago, due to the energy body's instinctive thirst for energy and the soul-devouring nature of the Final God-killing Spear, this experience still allowed them to master the ability to devour soul rings.

The quality of the soul rings in this inheritance hall is much higher than the soul rings in the deep sea two years ago. The soul rings here start from a hundred thousand years old, and there are also soul rings of ferocious beasts that are two hundred thousand years old and even three hundred thousand years old. These are the accumulation of the Soul Transferring Tower for nearly ten thousand years, but now they have all fallen into the hands of Jing Shaoyu.

Anya was the first to reach the critical point and break through the bottleneck. Her cultivation was originally higher than Hong Fei's. Before entering the Heritage Hall, her cultivation had reached 99,000 years. So this time she only swallowed two 100,000-year soul rings and successfully broke the limit. She was about to evolve into a red soul with a cultivation of 100,000 years.

"An Ya, absorb these dragon balls as well." Jing Shaoyu took out the dragon balls condensed from the dragon energy in the Dragon Valley, divided them into two parts, and threw one part to Anya.

These dragon balls filled with dragon energy can make her evolution process smoother. When necessary, they can resist the impact of evolution and increase their pressure. They are very good auxiliary props.

Anya jumped up to catch the dragon ball thrown by Jing Shaoyu, swallowed it, then landed on the ground on all fours, folded her wings, and her body began to radiate a soft white light. The white light was like strands of silk, interweaving and structuring outside Anya's body, gradually gathering into a huge white cocoon of light, lying quietly on the ground, and the light that spread outward began to converge inward.

In the end, Anya completely turned into a silent cocoon, with a dim luster but still full of vitality, full of restrained and heavy breath.

Not long after, Hong Fei also reached the critical point. The number of soul rings she swallowed was exactly five, all of which were hundred thousand year soul rings. Jing Shaoyu immediately threw another dragon ball to her.

After Red Jade swallowed the dragon ball, a bright red light immediately burst out from her body. In the blink of an eye, it had wrapped Red Jade into a large oval egg-shaped cocoon. The red light also changed from bright to gentle, making the large red cocoon look like the sun.

The red jadeite turns into a large red cocoon, shining brightly and warmly, full of the fullness and rhythm of life.

Jing Shaoyu looked at the two large cocoons in front of him with an expression of joy and anticipation on his face. The energy fluctuations of the two large cocoons were rising steadily, and the evolution process was also extremely smooth.

He immediately sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and meditated, synchronizing the changes of the two souls.

Time flows at an unknown speed. Anya, who evolved first, also completed it first. Dense cracks appeared on the white cocoon, and then the light cocoon shattered into pieces of light fragments that fell to the ground. In an instant, it was like ice and snow meeting fire, and it melted away completely.

Anya's figure emerged. Compared with before the evolution, the changes were not big. The golden hair turned into pure white, like clouds, and the white wings turned into bright gold, like the scorching sun. The colors of the hair and wings were swapped. This was Anya's biggest change.

In addition, the colorful light emanating from its body becomes more and more dazzling, as gorgeous as a rainbow after the rain, and full of a dreamy atmosphere.

Anya opened her eyes. Her black and white pupils were dotted with a circle of golden lines, which were quite similar to the sun's halo. The unicorn horn on her head was still as white as jade and as clear as pure water, flashing with rainbow colors from time to time.

She exudes a holy aura, and the fluctuations of her soul power are steady and solid.

As Anya completed her evolution, three soul rings appeared behind Jing Shaoyu, all flashing bright red light and shining on Jing Shaoyu's face as he held his breath, full of nobility and grace.

Red souls have reached extremely high levels of autonomy and independence. The strength they can exert and the role they can play are far beyond the reach of lower-level souls. According to the calculations of the Soul Transferring Tower, the comprehensive combat power of red-quality souls can reach 90% of the soul master's own. If they cooperate with the soul master to release corresponding soul skills, the power of the soul skills can be greatly enhanced and additional effects can be obtained.

Of course, this is for normal red souls. Anya is obviously not a normal soul, and the characteristics she possesses are also special cases of Jing Shaoyu's soul.

White light flickered on Anya's body. The next second, the handsome pure white spirit beast disappeared, leaving only a tall figure. She was extremely beautiful, with long golden hair draped over her shoulders, a peaceful light flashing in her clear eyes, and a holy expression of compassion on her face. The golden wings spread on her back and the white gauze skirt covering her body made her look like an angel.

However, the white ponytail below her waist revealed her true identity.

The red soul has the ability to transform into a human form, but it is not complete enough and will still expose certain characteristics of its original body, just like Anya now.

Anya looked at Hong Fei who was still transforming and Jing Shaoyu who had his eyes closed. She stood aside obediently, silently, without making any noise. At the same time, she raised her hand and shot out a ray of white light. The white light fell to the ground and turned into a hemispherical energy shield, enveloping them.

After a while, the red cocoon transformed by the red jadeite finally made some movements. Compared to the peaceful and smooth breakthrough of Anya, the noise produced by the red jadeite was much louder. The first thing that came out was a loud cry of a phoenix. Then a crack appeared from one end of the red cocoon and quickly spread to the other end. In almost the blink of an eye, the red cocoon was split into two by this crack.

A pair of red-gold wings stretched out from the gap, and then stretched out. The big red cocoon broke open to both sides, and a handsome and beautiful red-gold bird instantly soared into the sky and flew into the air. Her whole body was covered with red gilded feathers, and her noble and gorgeous aura was beyond words. The mysterious and magical patterns were like artistic words, showing her extraordinaryness.

Hong Fei's body size has doubled, and her wingspan is nearly ten meters, which is several times larger than some birds of prey. However, her claws are not as sharp and powerful as a bird of prey should be. Her fingertips are round like pink pearls and have no deterrent effect at all.

She still had a flowing feather on her head, green as emerald, moving like flowing clouds, meandering from her head to her tail. Her tail feathers also became more gorgeous, long and fluffy. From a distance, they looked like a blazing fire or a cluster of bright flowers.

In addition, what attracts people the most is that there is a round jade bead above Hong Fei's eyes, below the feathers, and in the center of the forehead. It is embedded in Hong Fei's head, which seems a bit abrupt and harmonious. The jade bead emits a soft green light. It is pure and empty inside, but it gives people the illusion of being full of vigorous life.

Evolving from a black soul to a red soul, Hong Fei's race and bloodline were sublimated again. The Golden Winged Jade Kite when she was a black soul was already a thing of the past. Now, she was fully qualified to call herself a phoenix. This sublimation allowed her to refine her phoenix bloodline to 30%, evolving into a Red Jade Luan that was even closer to the phoenix.

In terms of bloodline level alone, Hong Fei is not far behind Brigitte, the strongest bird soul beast. Ordinary Emerald Swans can no longer suppress her in terms of bloodline, and may even be suppressed by her. And Brigitte, to be precise, she is no longer an Emerald Swan, but an Emerald Phoenix!

Three soul rings like red suns rose up behind Jing Shaoyu again, and all six soul rings were upgraded to 100,000-year soul rings, which was also a great feat. "Master!" Hong Fei spoke in a human voice, her voice was melodious and memorable. She landed in front of Jing Shaoyu, stretched out her head and rubbed it towards Jing Shaoyu, her eyes full of love and excitement.

But she did not touch Jing Shaoyu and was stopped by Anya, who shook her head and said, "The master is still meditating, don't disturb him yet."

"Oh, okay!" Hong Fei's eyes flashed with disappointment, but then she became interested in Anya and asked enviously, "Anya, how can you become a human?"

"Don't be envious, you can do it too." Anya reminded, "Just close your eyes and feel it, it's very easy."

"Really?" Hong Fei said in surprise, and immediately followed Anya's instructions.

Then, a red light burst out from her body. In the light, the body of the red-gold bird quickly shrank and soon turned into a humanoid girl about 1.7 meters tall. She had long red-gold hair and a strand of emerald green hair standing on top of her head. She had a pretty face, fair skin, and three feathers and a small tuft of down behind her ears.

She also had a pair of wings behind her, which were red-gold in color, just like her body. She was wearing a long red skirt with the hem spread out like the gorgeous tail feathers of a phoenix. Under the skirt were long, straight beautiful legs with a circle of red-gold down feathers at her ankles and a feather sticking out from the outside of her ankle.

The human form of red jade retains more of its original characteristics and looks full of exotic charm.

"Wow! The human body is so convenient and refreshing!" Hong Fei let out a happy shout and laughed.

Anya looked at her as she looked at a child, with a hint of helplessness in her beautiful eyes. Judging from the dates of birth, it was hard to say which of the two souls was older, but judging from the years of survival, Anya was undoubtedly much older than Hong Fei, so in her eyes, Hong Fei was indeed still a child.

When Jing Shaoyu opened his eyes, he saw Hong Fei and Anya who had transformed into human form, with expressions of satisfaction and joy on their faces. Very good, very good, both souls have successfully evolved into red souls.

"Master!" Hong Fei and Anya noticed that Jing Shaoyu had woken up, and immediately came to him, calling him respectfully and affectionately.

"You did a great job!" Jing Shaoyu first praised them, rubbed their heads with his hands, and then set a new goal for them, "Next, work hard to evolve into an orange soul!"

"Yes!" the two souls answered in unison.

After the spirit rings in the air were devoured by Hong Fei and Anya, there were still many left. Jing Shaoyu was naturally not polite and said directly to the spirits: "Go, devour all the spirit rings here except the 100,000-year spirit ring."

"Understood!" Hong Fei and Anya took action immediately.

Jing Shaoyu called out to Purya again and asked her to join the battlefield and launch a general attack on the soul ring of the Inheritance Hall.

Finally, when Gu Yue came back, there was only a 100,000-year soul ring with a golden pattern left in the sky. The other 200,000-year and 300,000-year soul rings were all devoured by Jing Shaoyu's three souls.

Among them, Hong Fei swallowed three 200,000-year soul rings, Anya swallowed four 200,000-year soul rings, and because Purya had the highest cultivation level, she swallowed two 200,000-year soul rings and two 300,000-year soul rings.

"Hong Fei and Anya have both evolved successfully," Gu Yue saw the changes in Hong Fei and Anya at a glance and smiled, "Why don't you continue to absorb? There are still so many hundred thousand year spirit rings here?"

"Uh~" Jing Shaoyu scratched his head after hearing this and said, "If we don't keep any, it will have a bad influence. We should always leave some for the younger generations, hehe!"

"It's up to you!" Gu Yue rolled her eyes and said, "I hope you don't regret it!"

Jing Shaoyu smiled without saying anything. No matter what the process was, the final result would be the same. The Spirit Tower would definitely be in his pocket. He had enough confidence in this.

"Let's go out." Gu Yue didn't know what Jing Shaoyu was thinking, so she said softly.

"Okay." Jing Shaoyu nodded. He did not ask about Gu Yue's soul, because since Gu Yue took the initiative to ask to leave, it meant that she completed her mission very well. In this case, why should he go to the trouble of asking questions that might make both of them uncomfortable?
He waved his hand and grabbed the skull of the Evil Eye Tyrant and the right leg bone of the Sky Wind Unicorn Emperor. Hong Fei, Anya and Poya also turned into streams of light and flew into his body.

Afterwards, Jing Shaoyu and Gu Yue held hands. The surroundings were filled with flashing white light, so dazzling that people blinked subconsciously. Then the blue sky and white clouds disappeared, and the two returned to the circular hall.

Leng Yaozhu was waiting for them leisurely. When she saw the two people appear from the white light, she immediately went to greet them with joy and said, "A'e, Yue'er, how is it? Did you get anything?"

"Well, a fruitful harvest!" Jing Shaoyu replied with a smile on his face, and at the same time handed two soul bones to Leng Yaoju. His harvest was indeed very rich, but at the moment he could only show two soul bones.

"Me too." Gu Yue replied, and stretched out his left hand, flipped it upwards, and suddenly, a soul egg appeared in his hand.

"Very good!" Leng Yaozhu was very excited, so she didn't notice the strangeness of the two disciples. She said with a smile, "You are worthy of being my disciples. You got the best product in one go."

As the deputy tower master of the Soul Pagoda and an Ultimate Douluo, Leng Yaoju could tell at a glance that Jing Shaoyu's two soul bones and Gu Yue's soul were the best in the Heritage Hall. Not only did she not feel any distress or reluctance about this, but she was very happy. After all, treasures are dead, but people are alive. Isn't the greatest function of these soul bones and souls to be used by soul masters?
Rather than being left there to gather dust, or being picked up by mediocre people, it would be the best outcome for them if they were absorbed by her two precious disciples!
