Douluo Continent: Angels Descend, Glory Reborn

"Success! Hahaha! Perfect! Absolutely perfect!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice was weak yet filled with barely suppressed excitement. "Kid, how does it feel? Aren't you completely transformed, so powerful that even you're afraid of yourself? The four mental skills I bestowed upon you—Mental Detection, Mental Sharing, Simulation, and Soul Impact—all the relevant information and application techniques are already imprinted deep within your soul. With a little practice, you'll master them! As for the potential foundation of your second martial soul, it has also been successfully planted!"

Su Chen opened his eyes, a flash of golden light appearing briefly within them. He felt the surging power within him, and his six wings unconsciously unfurled.

"Thank you very much, Tianmeng," Su Chen said sincerely.

"Hehe, don't be so polite with me!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice echoed in my mind. "But I've expended quite a bit of energy and need to recuperate in your spiritual sea for a while. By the way, Su Chen, about the second martial soul..."

It paused, its tone becoming more serious: "For now, I've only planted the potential foundation of ice attributes within you. To truly activate it and give it its complete form and power, some special conditions are needed. Once your soul power breaks through level 30, I will take you to a place to obtain your second martial soul."

Su Chen vaguely guessed what it was—one of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion! But he didn't reveal it, only replying, "I understand."

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It did indeed plan to have the Ice Emperor sacrifice himself to Su Chen in the future—at that time, the Ice Emperor would not only be the first spirit ring of Su Chen's second martial soul, but could even become the true form of that ice-attribute martial soul!

Just then, something unexpected happened!

A barely perceptible gray current drifted silently from the depths of the forest. Though seemingly weak, it exuded an ancient, timeless, and profound aura, transcending the cycle of life and death. The gray current swirled twice around Su Chen before entering his brow!

"What is that!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm exclaimed in surprise, attempting to construct a barrier with her mental energy to block it. But the gray energy was incredibly strange, directly penetrating the mental barrier and entering Su Chen's brow!

Su Chen shuddered, feeling a third force surge into his body. This force was not as vast as the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's, but it was far more profound and mysterious.

"This is... the Undead Scourge, Electrolux!" Su Chen was shocked.

The remnant soul of this Necromancer Saint God actually chose him instead of Huo Yuhao!

"Little one, don't panic." An old and gentle voice rang out in Su Chen's spiritual sea, completely different from the spiritual fluctuations of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. This voice seemed to have experienced countless vicissitudes, and its calmness contained great wisdom.

The gray aura condensed in the sea of ​​consciousness, transforming into the phantom of an old man dressed in a gray robe. The old man had white hair and beard, a kind face, but his eyes were as deep as the starry sky.

"My remnant soul has wandered for far too long. Today, sensing an aura where holiness and spirit coexist, I became curious and came uninvited," Electrox's remnant soul spoke slowly, his voice gentle. "If you do not mind, I will stay here for a while."

Suppressing his excitement, Su Chen respectfully said, "It is my honor that you wish to stay, senior."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm finally reacted, staring warily at the gray phantom: "What are you? How did you get in here?"

Electrolux smiled slightly, not angry at all: "A little bug. Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you. I was just curious about this young friend's extraordinary talent."

"Who are you calling a little bug!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm shouted indignantly. "I'm a million-year-old soul beast! A peerless celestial being!"

"Yes, yes, a peerless celestial being." Electrox shook his head with a smile, then quietly floated in a corner of the sea of ​​consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm snorted and said to Su Chen, "This old guy seems to be no simpleton... but since he's asleep, let's leave him alone for now. Su Chen, you should familiarize yourself with your newly acquired power."

Su Chen nodded, his consciousness returning to reality. He looked at the two spirit rings on his body—one purple, the other a dazzling gold—such a stunning configuration filled him with excitement.

He glanced at Huo Yuhao, who was lying unconscious on the ground, then stopped and suddenly spread his six wings, and golden holy light shone once more.

……

On the edge of the Starry Sky Forest, in a clearing surrounded by a stream.

On the surface of a massive rock, Su Chen sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, a faint golden aura swirling around him. The light was sacred and gentle, like the first rays of morning sunlight, making him appear as if a god had descended.

"call--"

Su Chen slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, which carried faint golden specks that drifted in the air. He opened his eyes, a flash of golden light appearing and disappearing in them.

"I've reached the peak of level 27." Su Chen felt the surging soul power within his body, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. "I'm only three levels away from level 30. At this rate, I can break through in a month at most."

A day ago, after leaving the area where he met Huo Yuhao, he found this relatively safe open space by the stream.

"Kid, someone's here." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's lazy voice rang out in the sea of ​​consciousness, tinged with a hint of mockery. "The two little ones aren't in very good shape."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dense bushes in front of him shook violently, accompanied by rapid breathing and the sound of branches breaking.

"Whoosh!"

Two figures emerged from the bushes, looking rather disheveled.

The leader was a young man, about fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in a blue, tattered outfit that revealed his well-defined muscles. He had short, dark blue hair, a handsome face, and striking features; his brows were furrowed, and his expression was grave. Most striking was his right arm—covered in bluish-purple scales, his hand transformed into a dragon claw with five sharp, blade-like claws crackling with fine bluish-purple electric snakes that hissed softly.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul Possession State! Although it is slowly dissipating, the pressure of that top-tier beast Martial Soul has not completely dissipated.

Following closely behind was a young girl. She appeared slightly younger than the boy, around thirteen or fourteen years old, petite and delicate. Her pale purple dress was covered in dust and bits of grass, and torn in several places. She had long, dark purple hair, now slightly disheveled, and her exquisite oval face was as pale as paper, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead. Despite her disheveled appearance, her lively beauty could not be concealed, especially her purple eyes, which remained bright even in her exhaustion.

The girl's soul power fluctuations were obviously unstable, sometimes at level 31 and sometimes at level 32, clearly indicating that she had only recently broken through to the Soul Venerable realm and had not yet fully consolidated her cultivation.

"Beibei...I...I can't run anymore..." the girl gasped, her voice weak.

"Xiaoya, hang in there a little longer! That Crimson Winged Dragon should be temporarily out of reach!" The boy called Beibei supported the girl, looking around warily. His Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul had not been fully withdrawn, and he was ready to deal with any unexpected situation.
