Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 87 The Jade Rabbit of the Moon - Jiang Nannan!

After a wait of nearly ten hours, Zhu Ziyang and Old Song finally witnessed Jiang Nannan's transformation.

The large cocoon, as tall as a person, slowly melted away like snow meeting the sun, revealing the figure of the girl who captivated Zhu Ziyang's heart.

Jiang Nannan remained as beautiful and charming as ever, only her once beautiful golden hair had transformed into shimmering silver, cascading down to her waist. Her languid aura was like that of a slumbering fairy, and her formerly silver-red eyes had become a captivating crimson, like pure coral, adding a touch of noble elegance to her youthful appearance. The girl had grown taller, her figure supple, slender, and graceful. She stood tall and elegant, captivating all who beheld her.

Behind the girl were three shimmering spirit rings, two yellow and one purple, with the girl's new martial spirit phantom above them.

It was a peculiar, crystalline rabbit. Its pale yellow fur resembled the moonlight of Mid-Autumn Festival, and its two long, upright, oval ears were covered with fine, silvery scales. Its chubby, fleshy mouth and large, round, bright red eyes were lively and expressive, making it look adorable and instantly endearing. Unlike ordinary rabbits, this rabbit's tail wasn't short; in fact, it was quite long, the same length as its ears. Combined with the silver, flowing cloud-like pattern on its forehead, anyone who saw it would understand that this was no ordinary rabbit.

"Brother!" Jiang Nannan exclaimed excitedly, then noticed Old Song standing next to Zhu Ziyang, "Old Song."

"This is..." Elder Song paid no attention to Jiang Nannan's reaction, but instead stared in astonishment at the illusory martial spirit behind Jiang Nannan, a thoughtful expression on his face, and said, "The Moon Spirit Sacred Beast?!"

"The Jade Rabbit of the Moon! It really is the Jade Rabbit of the Moon!" Zhu Ziyang's reaction was similar to that of Elder Song, but he was more excited and thrilled, and the words he shouted were quite different from those of Elder Song.

"Huh?!" Zhu Ziyang and Old Song both heard each other's shouts and looked at each other, their eyes filled with doubt and inquiry, but neither of them asked immediately.

"Nannan, tell us quickly, what's your martial soul like? What's its quality? And what's your third soul skill? And how much soul power do you have?" Zhu Ziyang asked a series of questions, leaving Jiang Nannan somewhat bewildered.

"Don't rush, brother! Let me explain slowly." Jiang Nannan sorted out her thoughts and then began to answer Zhu Ziyang's questions one by one.

Jiang Nannan began by introducing her martial soul. After her bloodline evolved, her Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul completely evolved into the Taiyin Jade Rabbit martial soul, which possesses the pure Taiyin bloodline. In terms of quality, it belongs to the top-tier martial soul, and is on par with the Light Holy Dragon and Dark Holy Dragon as a top-tier beast martial soul.

The Lunar Jade Rabbit, also known as the Moon Spirit Sacred Beast, is an extinct super soul beast. In ancient times, the Lunar Jade Rabbit was revered as a messenger of the Moon God by some human tribes. Later, with the rise of human soul masters, this soul beast disappeared. The Lunar Jade Rabbit possessed the purest lunar bloodline on the Douluo Continent, and most of its abilities were related to the moon.

According to Zhu Ziyang's understanding, the Lunar Jade Rabbit possesses speed surpassing light and shadow, making it one of the fastest creatures on the ancient continent. Furthermore, the Lunar Jade Rabbit has the ability to manipulate the moon; its strength is greatly amplified wherever moonlight shines. According to records in the Spirit Hall's archives, the Lunar Jade Rabbit can release chilling rays that corrode the soul, and can also conceal its form and move freely within moonlight, making it an extremely terrifying assassin.

"It really is the Moon Spirit Sacred Beast!" Old Song exclaimed, her gaze towards Jiang Nannan filled with more appreciation and affection. If her previous attention to Jiang Nannan was because of Zhu Ziyang, now it was entirely because of her as a person.

"I never expected that you, Nan Nan, would be so promising, evolving your martial soul and bloodline to the ultimate level so quickly!" Zhu Ziyang was very excited. Jiang Nan Nan's success proved that his plan was correct, and it also meant that Jiang Nan Nan had made up for her last shortcoming and become a true genius soul master!

"Hehehe, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly!" The girl giggled, her crimson eyes filled with joy.

After introducing her martial soul, Jiang Nannan immediately began to introduce her third soul skill.

Jiang Nannan's third soul skill is called Silver Moon Golden Armor, a rare dual-stage soul skill. After using this skill, a golden armor, the Silver Moon Golden Armor, will appear on Jiang Nannan's body. While the Silver Moon Golden Armor is active, Jiang Nannan is immune to all physical attacks and control effects. The armor lasts for three seconds, increasing by one second for each additional soul ring Jiang Nannan acquires. After the Silver Moon Golden Armor disappears, all of Jiang Nannan's abilities are increased by 70% for three seconds, again increasing by one second for each additional soul ring.

This soul skill truly shocked Zhu Ziyang and Elder Song. Zhu Ziyang's original intention in choosing the Silver Moon Golden Armor Beast for Jiang Nannan was actually for the third soul skill of traditional Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Masters: Invincible Golden Body. Although Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Masters are generally considered weak, Invincible Golden Body is undoubtedly a god-level skill, capable of granting immunity to all physical attacks. Unfortunately, Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Masters don't know how to use it, which is a real waste.

After comparing more than ten soul beasts that could potentially provide the Invincible Golden Body soul skill for the Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul, Zhu Ziyang finally chose the Silver Moon Golden Armor Beast, a soul beast that combined the bloodline of the moon with extremely strong defensive characteristics. He thought Jiang Nannan was lucky enough to obtain the Invincible Golden Body soul skill, but unexpectedly, she obtained a soul skill even more powerful than the Invincible Golden Body. This made Zhu Ziyang wonder if this girl was some kind of legendary woman of destiny?

Compared to the Invincible Golden Body, the Silver Moon Golden Body Armor, while both granting immunity to all physical attacks, possesses a second effect: amplification. This transforms it from a purely defensive soul skill into an amplifying one, instantly changing its significance in combat. For an agility-based soul master like Jiang Nannan, it can become a trump card!

Aside from her amazing third soul skill, Jiang Nannan's first and second soul skills also mutated due to the evolution of her martial soul.

The first soul skill evolves the Moon Shadow Body into the Silver Moon Mystic Spirit Body. The soul skill effects are largely the same, but the amplification effect is doubled.

Jiang Nannan's second soul skill, "Sky Moon Throw," has evolved into "Silver Moon Sky Flash." While still lifting the opponent into the air and tumbling them down, it now possesses a greater element of surprise. Previously, after activating "Sky Moon Throw," Jiang Nannan still needed to rush towards the target. However, with "Silver Moon Sky Flash," she can instantly teleport behind the target, making it impossible for them to defend against! Currently, Jiang Nannan's teleportation distance is thirty meters.

It can be said that the evolution of her martial soul was a transformative improvement for Jiang Nannan.

"Very good, very good!" Zhu Ziyang clapped his hands and exclaimed.

Old Song's gaze toward Jiang Nannan grew increasingly satisfied; he practically had the words "I like you very much" etched on his face.

"Giggle~" Jiang Nannan's laughter was as clear and melodious as a silver bell. She said, "And also, when the moon is in the sky, the effects of all my soul skills will double!"

"Hmm, that's normal, after all, it's the Moon Rabbit!" Zhu Ziyang was not surprised at all upon hearing this. As a symbol of the moon, it would be surprising if the Moon Rabbit did not receive special treatment from the moon.

"Finally, it's their soul power." Jiang Nannan blinked, feigning mystery, and said, "Brother, Elder Song, guess!"

"I guess, level 33," Zhu Ziyang said after thinking for a moment, with a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

"It's level 34." On the other hand, Elder Song said without hesitation. As a level 97 Super Douluo, it would be too easy for her to see through the soul power level of a Soul Master.

"Hehe, that's right, it's level 34!" Jiang Nannan said happily, her face flushed with a charming blush.

"Level 34, aside from the level of soul power gained after absorbing the soul ring, the Moonstone Diamond that increased your soul power by six levels is reasonable," Zhu Ziyang analyzed.

"Mmm! It's all thanks to you, brother. Otherwise, you might not even be able to reach the Soul Venerable level by now!" Jiang Nannan hugged Zhu Ziyang's arm, rested her head affectionately on his shoulder, and said in agreement.

"Ahem!" Old Song suddenly coughed and said, "Young man, watch out. There's an old woman here."

"Uh~" Jiang Nannan immediately stood up straight, her face flushed with embarrassment, not daring to look at Old Song.

Zhu Ziyang, however, remained unperturbed, smiling as he watched Elder Song. He had already guessed what Elder Song was planning to do next.

"Nannan, would you be willing to become my disciple?" As Zhu Ziyang expected, Elder Song spoke up.
