Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 249 - Zhongli Wu: Masaka, it tastes like a backstab!

Amidst the cheers and blessings of the villagers, Qian Lingyun left the street in a daze and walked back into the small grove of trees where steam was rising.

At this moment, Yueyue's clothes had all turned to ashes, revealing her battered body.

The medicinal effects of the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower are extremely potent, with numerous black impurities constantly burrowing out from under her skin.

She was as pink as a boiled shrimp, even her hair was dyed with a layer of brilliant firelight.

After a few hours, golden-red flames suddenly erupted from Yueyue's body, shooting into the sky. The once lush grove was instantly burned into giant burning candles by the soaring flames.

Yueyue's body stretched out in the flames. Although she was still a little thin, she was noticeably taller than before.

Her long, black hair cascaded down her back, and her crimson eyes shone brightly. With each slight movement, flames danced around her, making her seem like a goddess of fire reborn from the ashes.

"How is it?" Qian Lingyun leaned against a charred tree trunk, using the red-hot charcoal on the ground to roast a rabbit.

"I...it seems my cultivation level has increased by a few levels, but because I don't have a fourth spirit ring, I can't determine my exact strength."

Yueyue gently crossed her two index fingers and said shyly, "Besides... my martial soul has indeed changed!"

Hearing this, Qian Lingyun finally became interested. She picked up the fragrant, crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside roasted rabbit, took a bite, and mumbled, "Your martial soul has evolved, right? Let me see!"

Seeing Qian Lingyun speak, Yueyue nodded excitedly and replied repeatedly:

"Yes, Master, look, this is my Martial Soul!" As she spoke, Yueyue raised her right hand, and a sixteen-petaled chrysanthemum with a golden-red body and sharp petals like scimitars appeared out of thin air in her palm.

"Your martial spirit... how come it's combined?"

Qian Lingyun examined the golden-red sixteen-petaled chrysanthemum bud for a while, then asked in confusion, "Have your first three soul skills changed?"

"No," Yueyue honestly shook her head and whispered, "My first three soul skills all increased sharpness, there was no change."

Qian Lingyun chuckled, leaning down to gently pat Yueyue's shoulder, teasingly saying, "Wow, you're quite clever; even your soul skills are functional!"

"Alright, when we pass through the Soul Beast Forest next time, I'll catch a soul beast for you to play with there!"

And so, under Yueyue's astonished gaze, Qian Lingyun unleashed her favorite gourd-shaped flying device.

"Is this... a gourd?" Yueyue swallowed and asked in surprise.

"What gourd? This is a flying soul tool! I told you, this thing is incredibly advanced!"

After speaking, Qian Lingyun leaped up, sat upright in the driver's seat, raised an eyebrow at the stunned Yueyue below, and shouted, "No time to explain, get on the plane!"

Yueyue, who was staring blankly at the novel soul tool, was urged several times before she finally snapped out of her daze and responded with an "oh".

He carefully climbed up, sat somewhat reservedly in the back seat, and curiously examined the obviously valuable flying soul tool beneath him.

"Hold on tight, ace pilot, ready for takeoff! Wuhu!"

After a loud "Wuhu," Qian Lingyun gripped the control lever with both hands and, under Yueyue's awe-inspiring gaze, pushed it to the highest setting.

As the gourd's rear end spewed out crimson propelling flames that launched the aircraft into the sky, its bat-like wings on either side began to flap.

"?!"

The bizarre scene left Yueyue completely bewildered, thinking to herself: [This is clearly a very high-end soul tool, so why does it look so ugly when it flies...]

Seemingly noticing Yueyue's confusion, Qian Lingyun frankly shared her opinion.

"So, you think it's ugly, right? I think it's ugly too, feel free to say so, anyway... I didn't make this thing."

Mei Douluo: "So, Miss, you think it's ugly but you still drive it so enthusiastically? Tsk, that's really going too far!"

After locking the autopilot valve of the aircraft, Qian Lingyun casually dangled a straw in her mouth and turned to look at Yueyue, who was only sitting on half of the sofa.

……

Inside a secret chamber at the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters, Zhongli Wu stood directly in front of a pool of blood, looking excitedly at Tang Ya, who was immersed in the center of the pool. He glanced at the Grand Elder in charge of this consciousness process and asked eagerly, "How is it? How well does this secret technique resonate with the Blue Silver Saintess?"

The Grand Elder did not speak, but looked at Zhongli Wu with the same excited gaze. Seeing the Grand Elder's fanatical and crazy eyes, Zhongli Wu knew that the matter had been accomplished!

The Holy Spirit Cult has a secret method that can stimulate human functions and rapidly increase one's strength. However, this method also has a negative effect: it completely erodes a person's mind, ultimately turning them into a machine that only knows how to kill.

Under the influence of this secret technique, Soul Masters with sufficient talent can be gradually improved, with the potential to eventually reach the Limit Douluo level. However, the Soul Master must possess a pure heart and body, and their Martial Soul must be suitable.

The Holy Spirit Cult currently has four Holy Maidens, all of whom are suitable candidates to experiment with this secret method.

Relatively speaking, among the four holy maidens, Qian Lingyun has the best talent. At the age of thirteen, she is a seven-ring Soul Saint, which can be described as unprecedented.

But... Qian Lingyun is the ultimate evil, so this secret technique is useless against her.

Zhang Lexuan's talent is second best, but her problem is that her cultivation level is too high. In at most two years, Zhang Lexuan may be able to break through to the Title Douluo realm. Even if she were to use the secret technique, it would not be of much use.

Ma Xiaotao's talent is also not weak. After the Phoenix Flame is integrated with the Evil Flame, it evolves into the Ultimate Flame. Once she is cultivated into a Limit Douluo, she will be the Ultimate Flame Limit Douluo, which will be even more powerful than Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao now.

However, Ma Xiaotao had been suppressing the evil fire every day using the simplest method, so Zhongli Wu couldn't possibly call Ma Xiaotao to experiment with the secret method at that time.

In the end, he could only settle for Tang Ya, whose talent was not as good as the other three, but experiments revealed that she was more talented.

Tang Ya's compatibility with that secret method was surprisingly high; after taking the medicine, she was quickly assimilated by the secret method.

According to current predictions, once Tang Ya advances to become a Title Douluo, the secret technique will be fully formed. At that time, she will only need to be controlled with special items, and she will become one of the Holy Spirit Cult's greatest trump cards.

The thought that Tang Ya, who was cultivated using secret methods, would be enough to support the Holy Spirit Cult for a hundred years after Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao were gone was enough to make it thrive.

Zhongli Wu was in a great mood.

But soon, the smile on Zhongli Wu's face disappeared, and he paced back and forth anxiously.

He had a bad feeling that someone was preparing to give him a clean backstab.
