Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 140 Everyone Enhances Their Soul Spirits: Fiery Flame, Apricot Blossom, and Wu Ming's Strange Attributes

The effects of refining immortal herbs are by no means achieved overnight.

Shu Yan planned to rest at Shrek Academy for a few more days before hunting for the sixth spirit ring. He wasn't in a hurry anyway, so he decided to wait until everyone had fully absorbed the effects of the medicine before setting off.

Moreover, after absorbing the immortal herb, Han Ruoruo's soul power will directly reach the peak of Soul Douluo. As long as she successfully condenses her first soul core, she can become a Title Douluo.

After Wu Ming fused with the 70,000-year-old soul bone and the blazing glue, her Golden Crow Martial Soul would completely evolve into the Ultimate Flame. In addition, since her cultivation level had already reached level 70 or above, she was no longer bound by the slow cultivation speed of the Ultimate Attribute before level 70. Instead, she could directly enjoy the cultivation boost after level 70. Her breakthrough to Soul Douluo was only a matter of time.

Ling Luochen is in a similar situation. While Shu Yan is helping her refine the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, he is also helping her refine the part of the Ice and Snow Emperors' essence within her body. When everything is completed, she will definitely be able to transform her Martial Soul into the ultimate ice and break through to the Soul Emperor realm.

There are only three Soul Masters with the ultimate attribute who have appeared in ten thousand years. Now, there are three of them in this inconspicuous wooden house. It can be said to be quite amazing.

Shu Yan wasn't in a hurry at all about the three people's need for spirit rings.

Ling Luochen's soul ring was easy to solve, because when he left the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he had the Snow Empress seal and pack up a 50,000-year-old plant-type soul beast, the Xuanbing Dragon Vine, that was growing near the Eight-Cornered Xuanbing Grass. This creature could become Ling Luochen's perfect sixth soul ring, so there was no need to go out and hunt souls anymore.

As for Han Ruoruo, Shu Yan plans to take her to the sea this time to hunt soul beasts for her as her ninth soul ring.

Wu Ming has even less to worry about, as Shu Yan already has a plan.

At worst, he could just take Wu Ming to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well again later. Whether it was the Blazing Apricot Blossom or the so-called Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower, they could both become her excellent eighth and ninth soul rings.

Now, with the right leg bone of a 300,000-year-old jade dragon, plus the significant boost from acquiring the seventh soul ring, Shu Yan is confident that he can complete a spatial teleportation of over a thousand kilometers, and the round trip won't waste much time.

……

As it turned out, Shu Yan's guesses were all correct.

After successfully refining the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo and the Water Jade Immortal Bone, Han Ruoruo's soul power has reached the peak of level 89. She only needs to condense a soul core to become a Title Douluo, thus surpassing Zhang Lexuan, who had suppressed her for more than ten years.

Wu Ming's Golden Crow successfully transformed into the Ultimate Fire Martial Soul, and her cultivation steadily broke through the threshold of Soul Douluo. Moreover, she had not yet fully absorbed the effects of the second immortal herb. After obtaining the eighth soul ring, she could take a few more steps forward.

Ling Luochen finally ended his seclusion, and his Elemental Ice Martial Soul officially transformed into Ultimate Ice. The aura he exuded at the Quasi-Soul Emperor realm was by no means weaker than that of an ordinary low-level Soul Saint. Fighting beyond one's level is something that almost every ultimate Soul Master can do.

After handing the Xuanbing Dragon Vine to Ling Luochen, Shu Yan instructed Han Ruoruo to protect him, and then led Wu Ming toward the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

After arriving at the right position, Shu Yan told Wu Ming to close her eyes. Then, a bright silver light flashed, and in the next instant, a spatial gate slowly opened in front of the two of them.

Shu Yan led the astonished Wu Ming into the valley, and when they reappeared, they found themselves in a secluded canyon paradise.

With Wu Ming protected by the ultimate fire, Shu Yan wasn't worried that she would be harmed by the special heaven and earth energy and various toxins within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. Their arrival caused quite a stir, and the several 100,000-year-old plant-type soul beasts, who had finally enjoyed a period of peace, were awakened again. Just as they were about to get angry, they looked up and saw Shu Yan with a smile on his face, and for a moment they felt as if the sky had fallen.

Shu Yan didn't say much. Before coming, he had explained the news about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to Wu Ming. He was a bit busy with his schedule recently, so he simply stated the purpose of his trip.

The other immortal herbs breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Shu Yan's purpose, but the Fiery Apricot and Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower felt as if the sky had fallen once again.

The two looked at each other, and neither dared to speak for a long time.

Shu Yan, somewhat impatient, simply pulled Wu Ming directly to Lie Huoxing Jiaoshu and then said:

"You're the one. From now on, relax and follow my instructions. I will make you a soul spirit like the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass."

Shu Yan's words were full of command, giving Lie Huoxing Jiaoshu no room to resist at all.

Liehuo Xingjiao glanced at Xue Di behind her, who was playing with her fingers, and finally made a decision that went against her ancestors!

The saying goes, "A wise man submits to circumstances," and this beautiful woman, Liehuo Xingjiao, is by no means a coward! She was simply forced into this situation by circumstances!
Wu Ming looked at Shu Yan, who was exuding domineering aura at this moment, and her eyes gleamed.

Having grown accustomed to the gentle and refined Shu Yan, this new side of him made her legs go weak, and for some reason, a blush crept onto her face.

For some reason, she felt a strange urge to have Shu Yan command or treat her in the same way he had treated Liehuo Xingjiaoshu…

That feeling of being completely suppressed and commanded seemed to bring her a unique and extreme sense of comfort...

As the saying goes, if you dare to think, you dare to do. Wu Ming made up her mind that when she got back, she had to drag Shu Yanhan and Ruoruo along for a try. For her own happiness, she was fearless, even if it was a candle or a whip!

Shu Yan was unaware of Wu Ming's thoughts. He switched to the Necromancer God Mode, and countless mysterious runes floated up between heaven and earth. The huge six-pointed star magic array shone brightly like an imprint of heaven and earth. The entire body of the Fiery Apricot was covered with a layer of rich golden light. As this layer of golden light slowly condensed from tail to head, the originally delicate and beautiful body of the Fiery Apricot slowly withered, leaving only a seed emitting a fiery red light that slowly fell to the place where the Fiery Apricot had originally grown.

With the master-servant contract signed, the golden-red halo representing the original power of Liehuo Xingjiaoshu and the soul imprint completely merged with Wu Ming. A moment later, Wu Ming's original seven soul rings slowly rose up. In addition to the seven soul rings in the standard ratio, a blood-red soul ring slowly settled down. With the power of this one ring, it actually suppressed the other seven soul rings, making their colors dim slightly.

Yes, Shu Yan signed a master-servant contract with Wu Ming and Lie Huoxing Jiaoshu, rather than an equal contract as in a normal soul contract.

Wu Ming thought this was normal. Although Liehuo Xingjiaoshu was dissatisfied, the die was cast and there was no turning back.

The Ten Thousand Years of Blazing Fire Xing Jiaoshu gave Wu Ming a right arm bone made from the embers of a Ten Thousand Years of Fire. After fusing the soul ring and soul bone, Wu Ming's soul power jumped to level eighty-four, roughly the same as Han Ruoruo's cultivation level after fusing the Ten Thousand Years of Fire soul ring and soul bone.

After the fusion was complete, the miniature version of Liehuo Xingjiaoshu slowly flew out of Wu Ming's body and then hovered beside her.

During the first soul experiment, neither Shu Yan nor Ilex had any experience, and some unexpected events occurred, which caused the soul of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass to fall into a deep sleep.

Having learned from the first experience, the fusion of Liehuo Xingjiaoshu and Wu Ming was undoubtedly much smoother. Although Liehuo Xingjiaoshu's spiritual essence was somewhat unstable, she managed to remain conscious and could recover after resting in Wu Ming's spiritual sea for a period of time.

Wu Ming looked at the fiery apricot blossom floating in front of her with delight. She sensed the contract between herself and this little creature; if needed, she could even summon it to aid her in battle. And all of this was exactly as Shu Yan had said before.

Shu Yan pinched Wu Ming's increasingly fair and delicate cheeks, feeling that the girl had become more and more beautiful and radiant during this time.

Compared to when she first met Wu Ming, Wu Ming has now completely entered the category of top-tier beauties.

Especially after fusing with her eighth spirit ring, her voluptuous figure was almost in no way inferior to Ma Xiaotao's, with a curvaceous and alluring figure, particularly her peach-like fullness, which even Shu Yan couldn't help but be captivated by. Wu Ming chuckled and tiptoed to kiss Shu Yan's cheek, then softly asked:
"Is this place very close to Heaven Dou City?"

"Hmm, how come..."

Shu Yan instantly understood Wu Ming's thoughts, and he chuckled somewhat:
"Want to go somewhere alone with just the two of you?"

Wu Ming gave a light snort, then said:

"Yes, otherwise, once I go back to the academy, I'll be controlled by Sister Ruoruo again, and I won't have any freedom of movement. It's not easy to have such an opportunity, Shuyan, you won't refuse me, will you?"

Women with her personality either take the absolute initiative in relationships, or their spouses are even more dominant than themselves, thus giving them the upper hand in the relationship.

Clearly, Shu Yan is much more assertive than Wu Ming.

"Why would I refuse you, senior..."

Shu Yan chuckled softly, then gently patted Wu Ming's head.

Wu Ming didn't mind Shu Yan touching her head; after all, it was much more comfortable than Shu Yan forcibly pressing her head down. What displeased her was Shu Yan's way of addressing her.

"Could you please stop calling me 'senior'? Out of the three of us, you only call me 'senior'. Can't I have another way of addressing you?"

Shu Yan laughed in silence, then said:
"How about calling her... Ming'er?"

Wu Ming pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Just don't call me 'senior sister,' it makes it seem like... like you don't care about me..."

In the end, Wu Ming unconsciously turned her head away, not daring to look Shu Yan in the eye.

Although she has become more gentle and kinder thanks to love, she is still a straightforward person at heart.

Saying such things was undoubtedly embarrassing for her. It was clear that she really cared about Shu Yan, otherwise she wouldn't have overthought things just because of a form of address.

After a moment's thought, Shu Yan agreed to Wu Ming's small request.

“Alright, let’s go and have a look around Tiandou City. If I remember correctly, your family seems to be located near Tiandou City, so we can go back and visit them together.”

Wu Ming's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly.

Clearly, Shu Yan's suggestion was exactly what she wanted to hear.

As the spatial gate opened, Wu Ming pulled Shu Yan and quickly stepped inside. After a flash of silver light, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye returned to peace. This time, the remaining 100,000-year-old plant-type soul beasts couldn't sleep at all. The Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot were taken away one after another, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before they reached this point.

……

After spending two days having fun with Wu Ming in Tian Dou City, Shu Yan finally went with her to her family.

The Wu family's residence is located near Tiandou City. As a medium-sized Soul Master family, the current head of the Wu family, who is also Wu Ming's father, has reached the Soul Saint realm and is quite famous in the Tianhun Empire.

Unfortunately, the Wu family's inherited martial soul is not the Golden Crow. Wu Ming's Golden Crow martial soul is a benign mutation of the family's martial soul, the Fire Crane. The Fire Crane does not have a very high status among fire-attribute martial souls. It is somewhat similar to the status of the Netherworld Cat among cat-type martial souls. It cannot be considered a top-tier martial soul, but it is definitely a high-level martial soul.

In Shu Yan's eyes, Wu Ming's parents were both easy to get along with. They were extremely satisfied with Shu Yan and even felt a sense of relief and relief when they were with him, as if they had finally sent their daughter away.

In particular, Wu Ming's mother directly assured Shu Yan that if Wu Ming dared to act lawlessly again, Shu Yan should tell her that she would definitely break Wu Ming's legs.

When she said this, Wu Ming didn't dare to refute it at all.

It was clear that she was still extremely afraid of her mother. Afterwards, Shu Yan learned a little more from Wu Ming and discovered that Wu Ming's mother had an even more fiery temper than Wu Ming herself when she was young. Even Wu Ming's father had been beaten quite a bit back then, and Wu Ming had lived in her mother's shadow since childhood. If she caused trouble, she would probably be bedridden for a few days afterward.

This is no joke. Wu Ming still gets chills just thinking about that thumb-thick green bamboo... it's a real childhood trauma...

……

Afterwards, Shu Yan and Wu Ming stayed at the Wu family's house for two more days. Shu Yan also took out the medicinal herbs and spiritual treasures that he had originally prepared for the two elders, and together with Wu Ming, they helped the two of them to consume and refine them.

After everything was finished, Shu Yan and Wu Ming planned to set off back to Shrek Academy.

Although Mr. and Mrs. Wu were reluctant to part with him, they couldn't persuade him to stay too long. In the end, they could only tell the two of them to have a grandson soon so they could play with him. Mrs. Wu even gave Wu Ming a "book". After reading it, Wu Ming's little brain worked at lightning speed, and he opened the door to a new world.

She was showing Shu Yan through her actions that she could give him anything he wanted.

As a result, on the way back the next day, she didn't want to walk another step and was carried by Shu Yan while whimpering.

However, her recovery speed was quite fast. When Shu Yan carried her to the outskirts of Shrek City, she was already able to walk...

Noticing Shu Yan's gaze, Wu Ming pursed her lips, then suddenly turned around and whispered in Shu Yan's ear:

"Actually, I think... that might work too..."

Shu Yan's pupils contracted slightly, sensing that Wu Ming seemed to have recently awakened some extraordinary attribute...
