Douluo: Martial Soul Nine-Tailed Fox, I am the White Fox Emperor

"This is... the blessing of the wind?" Hu Bai asked in surprise.

“That’s right.” The Celestial Ruler nodded. “This is the first reward I’m giving you.”

"Now, please follow me. You have also earned a month of rest and training time."

With that, it flapped its wings and flew high, heading towards the edge of the grassland.

Hu Bai and the others exchanged glances and immediately followed.

……

Led by Sky Dominator Lan, the group arrived at a huge island suspended in mid-air, composed of cyan wind elements.

This island is called "Garden of the Eye of the Wind".

It is the place in the entire Wind Realm where the elemental power is most concentrated and purest.

"This will be your training ground for the next month," Lan's voice rang out.

"Within this Wind Eye Court, there are three different training areas."

It pointed with its wings to the edge of the island.

"Outside is the 'Valley of Gentle Breeze,' where the wind is the gentlest, containing the breath of life, which can help you heal the wounds of your soul and body."

Then it pointed to the central area of ​​the island.

"In the central region lies the 'Gale Highlands,' where the winds are fierce and sharp, like thousands of blades, which can be used to temper your physical body, soul power, and even will."

Finally, its gaze fell upon the very top of the island, the area shrouded in a visible blue gale.

"At the top is the 'Nest of Unpredictable Winds,' where the winds are erratic and unpredictable, sometimes gentle, sometimes violent, and filled with countless tiny spatial rifts. It is there that you can hone your control over energy and your agility."

"The choice is entirely up to you."

After saying that, Lan stopped talking, turned into a streak of blue light, and disappeared into the horizon.

……

For the next month, everyone once again entered into an intense and fulfilling period of secluded cultivation.

Hu Bai's first choice was "Valley of Gentle Breeze".

His damaged martial spirit essence urgently needs repair.

That gust of wind blessing was merely to restore their soul power, mental strength, and various external injuries.

But his fox tail was injured, and it wouldn't heal as quickly as a gust of wind.

Just now, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm released part of its spiritual essence, which caused its spiritual body to become weak and also needs energy to recover.

Fortunately, he simply fell into a deep sleep for the entire month.

Meanwhile, Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor will not be idle. They can use the energy absorbed by Hu Bai to improve themselves, or they can use it on Tian Meng.

They chose to use this energy to help Tianmeng recover first.

After all, he had just put in a lot of effort.

Hu Bai sat cross-legged in the valley, letting the gentle breeze, like a lover's caress, caress his body and soul again and again.

The life energy contained in that wind was constantly nourishing his damaged essence, allowing his damaged "fox tail" to recover at a slow pace.

After his injuries stabilized, he devoted most of his energy to reviewing and perfecting the "Elemental Return to Nothingness" move.

That move, though incredibly powerful, also consumed a terrifying amount of energy. Moreover, the fusion process was extremely unstable; if one was not careful, they would be the first to be blown up.

What he needs to do is find a balance point, a balance point that allows him to use this move within a controllable range.

Gu Yuena also chose to stay by Hu Bai's side.

While using the gentle breeze to comprehend the wind laws of this world, she silently observed and analyzed the fluctuations emitted by Hu Bai's body when the elements merged.

This has great reference value for her, who is also proficient in elemental control.

Although she cannot master all the elements of nature like Hu Bai, she will still study hard during this time.

The reason Hu Bai is able to master so many elements is essentially due to his strong mental power and the elemental affinity inherent in his martial soul.

But that's not enough. After all, the basic elements of the natural world in Douluo Continent are always those seven, and elements other than these seven, such as ice and lightning, are all derived from them.

To activate it without using a soul skill, one would need a very strong ability to control it.

Chen Xin, without hesitation, stepped into "Galewind Heights".

He stood shirtless in the raging wind, letting the endless wind blades leave white marks on his body.

He was using this most primitive and cruel method to hone his sword spirit.

He wanted his sword to have not only the weight of mountains, but also the speed and sharpness of the wind!
This time, he wasn't able to help Hu Bai much; he needed to improve himself even faster!
At this moment, Chen Xin's fighting spirit reached its peak!

He reviewed the battle in his mind and wondered if he could do better next time.

During this process of repeated contemplation, his own aura was also changing.

Dugu Bo, this "old rascal," developed a strong interest in the "Wu Ding Feng Nest."

He released his Azure Phosphorus Serpent King Poison into the chaotic storm, and then observed with great interest how his poison was torn apart, decomposed, and recombined by the gale and spatial rifts.

He is trying to create a new kind of poison that can ride the wind, or even go against the wind!
His poison skills were severely limited in these two battles, and he needs to think of a way to improve them!

Everyone else also chose the cultivation method that best suited their own circumstances.

A month passed quietly.

When everyone emerged from the Eye of the Storm once more, each of them had undergone a complete transformation.

Hu Bai's injuries have healed, and his aura has become more restrained and profound.

Finally, he broke through to level 80!
When his cultivation reached level eighty, a divinely bestowed soul ring appeared before him.

He originally gave his mother the divinely bestowed soul ring.

It seems the gods of the divine realm have been watching him all along.

They probably didn't want his cultivation level to remain at level 80, since this test for him, besides defeating the seven elemental overlords, also required him to raise his soul power to the title level!

This time, through this divinely bestowed soul ring, he also obtained the soul skill he desired most!

Strong control!

He discovered that he had a fatal flaw: he had strong mental strength and aggression, but lacked that kind of strong conceptual control!

This kind of soul skill cannot be created at will. Therefore, he chose to bestow it through a soul ring skill!
His eighth spirit ring is a 100,000-year-old one, which happens to have two spirit skills.

There's nothing he can do; the maximum lifespan of a divinely bestowed soul ring is 100,000 years, and he can't have any more than that.

Hu Bai was also quite helpless; couldn't these gods enhance the effect of the divinely bestowed soul rings?

As a result, his soul power only increased from level 80 to level 84.

Some of his soul power was acquired through cultivation in this secret realm.

Of course, although the age of the eighth spirit ring is a bit low, the effect of the spirit skill is by no means inferior!

The first soul skill of the eighth soul ring is:
[Decree of Fate - Cage of the Heart: Locks onto a single target and initiates a mental imprisonment. Once successful, it ignores any defense or will of the target, forcibly stripping them of any "resistance" or "breakthrough" in their soul and consciousness, plunging them into a state of absolute nothingness and stillness, turning them into an empty shell incapable of movement or thought, lasting for 10 seconds.]

This soul skill is somewhat similar to the Sea God's Unpredictable Storm.

Once Poseidon's Unpredictable Storm hits, it will grant you eight seconds of control.

Of course, the differences are still quite significant.

The Sea God's Unpredictable Storms can keep the opponent in place, but the opponent doesn't say they can't use their soul skills; after all, it only restricts them to their current location.

But his soul skill is different; it forcibly strips away your consciousness!

You can't use any other methods you want!

The second soul skill of the eighth soul ring is:
[Decree of Fate - Will Deprivation: Unleashes an invisible shockwave centered on the caster, striking all enemy targets within a kilometer radius with their willpower. Those struck will have their "fighting will" stripped from the depths of their souls, plunging them into a state of intense war-weariness, fear, and negativity. Their offensive and defensive desires plummet, and their mental defenses are significantly weakened for 30 seconds.]

Don't be fooled by the fact that this second soul skill may seem useless; it can actually be used in conjunction with the first soul skill!
To create an absolute hit condition for the first soul skill of the eighth soul ring!

Can you imagine that this is only the eighth soul skill?
If he had those two soul skills when fighting the Sky Dominator, it wouldn't have been as difficult as before.

No matter how many giant birds there are, as long as they are within a kilometer radius, they will inevitably be in a state similar to 'sage mode', with no desire to attack or defend.

As for the Celestial Ruler, needless to say, once hit, those ten seconds are enough for him to do a lot of things!
……

Chen Xin's eyes became sharper than before, as if a single glance could pierce a person's soul.

Over the course of this month, he finally gained some insights and successfully broke through to level 97!
Everyone's strength has once again improved by leaps and bounds in just one month!
Above the wind island suspended in the air, a new spatial gate leading to an unknown world has once again appeared.

……

Spirit world.

Two months have passed in the Elemental Realm, which is also a considerable amount of time for the God Realm.

During this time, Poseidon, the god of the sea, was living in dire straits.

Those two guys, the God of Destruction and the God of Lust, were like two super-sticky plasters, constantly trying to "strengthen their relationship" with him, which gave him a huge headache.

Finally, after the sea god paid the price of "I will definitely say a good word for your destruction faction at the next council of gods" (which was fake), the two plague gods were satisfied and let him go.

Watching the two figures leave, the Sea God breathed a long sigh of relief.

Damn, I'm finally free!

He dared not delay for a moment, straightened his somewhat disheveled divine robe, and immediately transformed into a streak of blue light, rushing hurriedly towards the direction of the Asura Temple.

Of course, the god of lust and the god of destruction knew that what the sea god said was false, but they were just playing around and that was about it.

They couldn't possibly hold out for a whole day against the sea god.

……

The Temple of Asura remained as cold and menacing as ever.

"God of Asura! Something terrible has happened!"

Before the sea god arrived, his voice preceded him, carrying an urgent and panicked tone as he rushed into the main hall.

The Asura God, who was sitting on his throne and resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened his blood-red eyes, which were devoid of any emotion, and frowned slightly.

"Why are you panicking?"

Seeing the sea god's expression of utter despair, the Asura God's voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Spirit Hall! My Vast Ocean Universe Cover has been taken by the people of the Spirit Hall!" the Sea God said urgently.

Upon hearing this, the God of Asura was slightly taken aback: "The Spirit Hall? It's just a force in the lower realm. Is it worth making such a fuss about?"

"You forgot!" Poseidon stamped his feet in frustration.

"The Spirit Hall, the Spirit Hall from the Douluo Continent! It's the force that Angel God personally created before he became a god!"

"My most treasured heirloom has been stolen! And the one who sealed it away was none other than the Rakshasa God!"

Upon hearing the words "Rakshasa God," a ripple finally appeared in the eyes of the Asura God.

"Rakshasa God?"

He pondered for a moment and said, "That's impossible. I personally suppressed her, and her divine soul was severely damaged. It was already a great effort for her to be able to initiate the divine trial for that woman from the Spirit Hall named Bibi Dong. How could she possibly have any extra divine power to seal your token containing the power of the Sea God?"

“It’s absolutely true! I saw it with my own eyes!” the sea god exclaimed urgently.

The Asura God looked at him and said calmly, "Never mind, I'll take a look myself."

He stood up, his blood-red divine robes fluttering even without wind.

"I just came back from somewhere else, and it's been a while since I've paid attention to the lower realms."

"I wonder how well that human I captured from another world is doing in his cultivation."

When his successor was mentioned, a rare hint of satisfaction appeared on the Asura God's perpetually icy face.

He was quite confident in himself as the designated successor.

After all, he had personally examined that body.

Twin martial souls!

The ultimate weapon spirit—the Clear Sky Hammer! And the Blue Silver Grass, which contains the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor!
Of course, he looked down on Blue Silver Grass, a useless martial soul, even if it could eventually evolve into Blue Silver Emperor.

In his opinion, this thing is no match for the Haotian Hammer.

After all, Tang Chen's Clear Sky Hammer had brought him quite a shock, and his grandson Tang Hao was also quite good.

Tang Hao's son is something to look forward to.

The reason he chose this successor was to get the Sea God involved, and to see if they could join forces to make a bold attempt to create an unprecedentedly powerful deity with "two gods coexisting".
