Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 458 Light and Shadow Demon Spirit
"Vina, you have passed the sixth test of the Black-level Six Trials. Your soul power has increased by one level. Since you have passed all six Black-level tests, you are rewarded with a divinely bestowed soul ring."

Vina has finally passed all the tests.

Moreover, the timing of this divinely bestowed soul ring was just right.

After all, the Titan Snow Demon became the spirit of her second martial soul, and the spirit ring of the Snow Lotus martial soul could not be generated by her. With the divinely bestowed spirit ring, she no longer needed to hunt spirit beasts.

The group stayed in the far north for another ten days or so, until Vina completed all her training, before preparing to leave.

"Vina, a level 92 Snow Lotus Douluo!"

On this day, Vina finally succeeded completely, and a new Title Douluo was born.

Unlike Xiao Xiao and the others, who had already completed dual soul cores, she only had one soul core, which she had condensed in the past few days after breaking through to the Title Douluo level.

In fact, it wouldn't be impossible for her to condense the soul core ahead of time if she wanted to, but Vina has a heavy responsibility and cannot take risks. No matter how confident she is, condensing the soul core ahead of time still carries a certain degree of danger.

If anything happens to Vina, the Heavenly Soul Empire will be in trouble.

However, she was the first among everyone to complete the nine rings of dual martial souls.

The first martial soul is the Snow Lotus, and the soul rings are two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red.

The second martial soul is the Brain, with five black and four red soul rings.

Both of her martial souls have 100,000-year soul rings, which will be the foundation for her to reach higher realms in the future.

The group emerged from the frost-covered forest into the far north. Now, there was one more person among them: an adorable, chubby little creature, the humanoid form of Snow Empress's beloved son, Xiaobai.

Unlike the imposing human form of the Crimson King, it was rather憨厚可爱 (simple and cute), and the Snow Empress had it accompany Yuwen Tuo to assist him. The only thing that Qiu'er regretted was that it already had the name Xiaobai.

Otherwise, Qiu'er originally wanted to name it Tuantuan, and then next time she went home, she would name Xiong Jun Yuanyuan.

How wonderful! In the story Tuo told her, a country once gifted two pandas named Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan to one of its provinces as a gesture of goodwill.

Doesn't this also serve as a way to express the friendship between the Starry Sky Forest and the far north?

Not wanting to give up, Qiu'er walked over to the little chubby girl who only reached her waist and said, "Xiaobai, can I change your name? Tuantuan sounds much better than Xiaobai."

Xiao Bai resolutely refused, saying, "No way! My name was chosen by my mother, and I won't accept any other auntie naming me."

“I’m an imperial auspicious beast, giving me face won’t hurt. Like the Red King, who readily accepted the name Erha, it sounds so nice. And my turtle, I named it Squirtle, it’s so happy.” Qiu’er said unwillingly.

“My beast, let me make this clear: I was the one who was promised.” The golden tortoise immediately said. What kind person would give such a majestic golden tortoise such a cute name like Squirtle?

However, this auspicious beast had too much backing. Recalling the day it refused to name Qiu'er, Qiu'er looked disappointed, and behind her, the Crimson King gritted his teeth, and Di Tian was even playing with its paws, it finally had no choice but to follow its heart and agree.

However, neither the Crimson King nor Emperor Tian are here now, and Little White, being such a filial and obedient child, would never change his name just because he is a mythical beast.

Yuwentuo's lips twitched. Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, he seemed to have inadvertently told Qiu'er too many stories, unknowingly arousing her desire to name small animals.

It's obvious that Xiaobai can't satisfy her anymore, but that's okay, because she's the next one looking for a soul spirit. Her Three-Eyed Golden Lion Martial Soul can only condense the first six soul rings on its own; from the seventh onwards, it needs to be hunted.

The golden tortoise shell only attaches to her golden dragon martial soul and cannot add soul rings to the three-eyed golden lion.

Therefore, Qiu'er still needs to find a soul spirit. This time, it's not the information recorded by Emperor Xuexin on the soul beast map, but something Qiu'er found herself, or rather, it's the target that the Silver Dragon King told her about when she went home last time.

Qiu'er led everyone to a hidden canyon near the border between the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Sun Moon Empire.

The canyon was shrouded in mist, and Yuwen Tuo couldn't sense any life force at all. If it weren't for the Silver Dragon King's confirmation, it would be hard to imagine that a 100,000-year-old soul beast actually existed here.

Qiu'er raised her palm, and a silver light shot out from her fingertips. Guided by this light, the group could move forward easily even though they couldn't see it.

Soon, the group passed through the mist and arrived deep in the canyon.

This place is very strange. It seems to have been cut apart by a peculiar energy. One half is extremely dark, so dark that you can't see your hand in front of your face, while the other half is too bright, as if it were being illuminated by extreme light.

What kind of spirit beast would live in such a place?

"Light and Shadow Demon Spirit, please show yourself!" Qiu'er stepped forward, radiating her aura.

Her identity as a mythical beast was incredibly useful; almost any spirit beast would give her face when they saw her.

"It's truly an honor to have such a mythical beast grace us with its presence. I am so sorry for not welcoming you sooner." A stunningly beautiful woman emerged from the boundary between light and shadow.

If it weren't for the six different wings on her back—three black and three white—you'd probably think she was a human.

This is a humanoid spirit beast, similar to the Snow Woman, or rather, a kind of elf.

Yuwen Tuo had seen the Soul Beast Encyclopedia and knew that there were two completely opposite types of spirit-type Soul Beasts: the Light Spirit of the Light attribute and the Shadow Spirit of the Dark attribute.

The two races often clash, but there are always exceptions. In this world where love-obsessed people are rampant, it's not unusual for angels and demons to fall in love.

If these two types of spirit beasts were to combine, a spirit combining light and darkness would be born. However, neither the light spirit clan nor the dark spirit clan would accept her. So she simply abandoned the name of spirit and changed her name to demon spirit. Combining attributes, she became the light and shadow demon spirit.

To put it simply, the Light and Shadow Spirits are like incompletely corrupted holy angels or incompletely purified fallen angels, each possessing half the characteristics of a Shadow Spirit and a Light Spirit.

This type of soul beast can unleash both light-attribute holy power and dark-attribute curse power, and its spiritual power is extremely strong, making it a very high-level soul beast.

"What a beautiful soul beast! It's just as beautiful as Sister Snow Maiden, and much prettier than Sister Sword Phoenix!" Xiao Xiao said enviously.

Within her spiritual sea, a # appeared on the forehead of the Golden Sword Phoenix. Although she didn't care much about her appearance, she was still a woman and couldn't be completely indifferent.

"Little sister Xiao Xiao, starting today, please don't speak to me for the next three months!"

Xiao Xiao instinctively covered her mouth, realizing that she had blurted out her true feelings. She quickly tried to make amends, saying, "Sister Jianhuang, please don't misunderstand. When I said she was pretty, I was only referring to her face shape. But in terms of temperament and figure, you are much better than me."
