Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 84 The Charm of the Inner Court's Senior Sister
"Wow~"

A crystal-clear stream bisects the forest. Su Wen sits cross-legged on a rock, cultivating. His golden core emits a faint golden light, subtly tinting all the meridians in his body with gold, which shines through his skin like the blue veins beneath fair skin.

This elixir, once formed, must have other wondrous uses.

But neither Xuanzi nor Elder Mu had mentioned it, so he didn't ask any further questions.

The golden core was located in the dantian. Su Wen originally thought it would grow bigger and bigger, and even worried that it would burst his body. However, after it grew to the size of a thumb, it began to shrink again. Now it is becoming more and more refined, but it contains all of Su Wen's soul power.

Why does it feel like... a soul core?

According to the Three Young Masters' Soul Mechanics.

The total "volume" of soul power contained within the human body is fixed.

However, the volume of gaseous soul power is greater than that of liquid, which is greater than that of solid.

Therefore, once a person's gaseous soul power is full, the next step is to transform the gas into a liquid to accommodate more soul power. The same principle applies to the transformation of liquid into solid – this is one of the difficulties for a Soul Douluo to advance to a Title Douluo.

Once a solid soul core is formed, one is considered to have entered the ranks of Title Douluo.

To advance further and become a Super Douluo, one must transform solids into granular forms and manipulate these solids with gaseous or liquid soul power. This process is dangerous and difficult, which is why many Title Douluos, after advancing, stay comfortably at level 91 for life and are unwilling to continue exploring.

The next step is to become the Ultimate Douluo.

There are two methods: one is to convert one-tenth of the soul power in the body into a black hole state, but maintaining its stability is extremely difficult; the other is to condense a second soul core.

The second soul core that an ordinary Limit Douluo condenses is a resonant dual soul core, but Di Tian took a different path—relying on his terrifying physique, he condensed a Yin-Yang dual soul core, using his own soul power as a guide to cause spatial collapse and form black holes, thereby absorbing the power of heaven and earth. Over time, his combat power became known as the number one person below demigod.

In the original work, Huo Gua achieved an unprecedented feat at the Soul Saint stage—condensing a Soul Core, at the level of a black hole.

This means that the difficulty of advancing to the Title Douluo level has suddenly increased, because to advance, one must condense a second soul core, which is equivalent to the level 98 advancement limit. But as long as one succeeds, the future will be bright and there will be no more obstacles.

Prematurely condensing the soul core?

Su Wen thought to himself.

This path is not easy, but for him... it's not difficult at all.

The difficulty of taking this path in the original work lies in the fact that the transformation between these soul power states is extremely dangerous. A slight mistake can lead to death by exploding one's body. Therefore, an extraordinary physique is essential. The Dragon Pill that Elder Mu gave Huo in the original work was a major reason for his success, because the main function of the Dragon Pill is to give people a powerful physique.

Coincidentally, Su Wen received feedback from the Soul Beast's stats... His physical strength was dozens of times that of others of the same level, and even increased proportionally with the increase in the Soul Beast's strength.

Then I'll ask Elder Mu for a Dragon Pill, and I can easily condense it.

Another point is mental strength.

This is Huo Gua's strength, because switching soul power states requires the use of mental power, which is why most Super Douluo have very strong mental power... because if it is not strong, it is difficult to break through that barrier.

This was no problem for Su Wen either; he later acquired an Evil Eye Tyrant and easily resolved the issue.

"call……"

Su Wen slowly opened his eyes.

The golden light around him slowly receded, and he couldn't help but sigh, "This golden core... it would be best if it could be condensed into a black hole-level soul core, achieving it in one step. But if Huo Qubing could do it in the original story, then as a cheat-like character myself, I shouldn't have any problem, right?"

After saying "take a rest," Elder Xuan disappeared without a trace.

Zhang Lexuan secretly pulled Su Wen to a stream not far from the main group.

"What are you muttering about? Come down and keep me company, the water's so cold~"

The sound came from afar. Zhang Lexuan's fair feet wobbled as she walked towards him, stepping on the pebbles in the stream. Her cloth shoes swayed precariously in her hands, while her other hand held up the hem of her blue skirt to keep it dry, revealing a section of her fair and tender calves that caught the eye.

Logically speaking, with Zhang Lexuan's strength, she should be able to remain completely dry, but at this moment she seemed to have taken off her mask, affectionately beckoning to Su Wen, inviting him to come down and play together.

You stepped on me!

Zhang Lexuan said angrily.

The two walked forward along the stream.

Without realizing it, Su Wen stepped barefoot on Zhang Lexuan's fair and tender feet.

The latter gave Su Wen a coquettish glare, gripped his hand tightly, and kicked him.

Soft and fluffy~
Su Wen was wearing shorts, and his exposed calves were lightly kicked by the beauty's sole. The skin touched, and he felt refreshed. Why is she rewarding me?
The two were playing and splashing around in the stream.

After one hour.

"Wow~"

The two sat side by side on a rock by the stream. Zhang Lexuan playfully stretched out her fair little feet and swung them in the water. A group of fish swarmed over and nibbled at her feet, making her laugh like silver bells.

Su Wen turned his head to look.

A blush crept across the senior sister's fair cheeks; the Soul Douluo probably wasn't afraid of being tired, so this was genuine joy...

"What are you thinking about?"

Zhang Lexuan stuck out her foot and gently kicked Su Wen's leg.

"Goo~"

Su Wen's face turned slightly red. He was genuinely shy. In the past, he was the one who manipulated others, finding it particularly amusing to see their cheeks flush and their faces burning. But now, encountering a truly mature woman... he felt like he was being played. Ugh!
"Hahahaha~"

Zhang Lexuan shifted her position, moving closer, and watched as Su Wen turned his face away, his body stiffening slightly, and her mood grew increasingly pleasant.

She was all too aware of her own charm.

As the senior disciple of the inner courtyard, who is quite traditional, this is the first time she has been so close to another man.

The little boy who once stood resolutely in front of her, shielding her from the damage from a 100,000-year-old soul beast, who was just a tiny little bean that barely reached her waist, is now over 1.7 meters tall, almost as tall as her.

The feeling was so wonderful that she was momentarily captivated.

After all, to others, it's just a legendary experience. People will embellish and exaggerate it, passing it down by word of mouth. But only the person involved, seeing that tiny figure blocking her way when the gaping maw came rushing towards her, would feel the shock...

Memories are like a jar of fine wine; the more you savor them, the sweeter they become.

Su Wen lay on his back on the rock, looking slightly embarrassed, and pretended to be bored as he gazed at the sky.

Zhang Lexuan, however, had no intention of letting him go.

Smiling, she lay down on her side, looking at Su Wen with her beautiful eyes fixed on him, her head propped up on her hand.

She had always wanted to know why Su Wen had stood resolutely in front of her back then, how much courage that small, thin body had required, and what he was thinking at the time...

"Could you interview the person involved? Why did you stand in front of me back then?"

Zhang Lexuan parted her red lips slightly.
