Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 111 First Intimate Contact

"Su Cheng, you said before that you would rather give up the power you've painstakingly cultivated over the years for freedom?"

"Of course." Su Cheng's face remained deathly pale, and his voice was weak. "Power is merely a tool to achieve one's goals. But without power, how can one pursue freedom?"

"Yes, without power, you can't do anything." Zhu Zhuqing's voice lowered.

Su Cheng glanced at the three spirit rings not far away, then asked, "What are those you're holding?"

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, then stammered, "This...this is a special potion that can temporarily restore soul power and even stimulate cultivation—"

However, before she could finish speaking, Su Cheng snatched the glass bottle from her hand.

"A recovery potion, huh? You're quite well-prepared."

He then pulled out the cork and drank it down in one gulp.

A look of astonishment immediately appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's face.

As the medicine was infused into the body.

Su Cheng instantly felt a surge of heat throughout his body.

Immediately, the soul power within his body circulated rapidly, vaporized, and surged, instantly rushing through his meridians like a torrent.

A wave of itching emerged from the bones and flesh, then spread throughout the body, gradually causing a loss of sensation in certain areas.

This feeling wasn't exactly painful, but it was extremely strange, as if the body was being gently peeled away, the whole person gradually splitting in two, and even the soul seemed to tremble along with it.

This is because of his strong will, powerful spirit, and the sword intent within him.

Unlike the slow-acting medicine described in the manuscript given to Zhu Zhuqing, this bloodline medicine is more thorough and has a more violent effect.

The spirit is inherently symbiotic with the soul master's soul. If it were anyone else, they would probably have lost consciousness by now due to the impact of this strange feeling.

Even Soul Masters with slightly lower cultivation and spiritual power cannot withstand the medicinal effects and will most likely turn into a pool of blood after taking it.

At this moment, Su Cheng appeared extremely terrifying in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.

A phantom white tiger martial spirit spontaneously emerged from his body.

But it was no longer the fierce and domineering creature with white fur and black stripes it once possessed.

Instead, it resembled a skeleton, with exposed, blood-red muscle lines covered in viscous blood and rising blood vapor.

A pair of scarlet tiger eyes flashed with bloodlust, revealing a murderous intent.

But now that things have come to this point, Zhu Zhuqing no longer has any choice but to hesitate.

She forced herself to calm down, and the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul appeared outside her body.

Before coming here today, Zhu Zhuqing had already read through all the contents of the manuscript.

With her current level of cultivation and knowledge, although she cannot create such a secret technique herself, she can still roughly see whether such a secret technique is feasible and effective, its general principles, and the subsequent changes for both parties after it is used.

Otherwise, given her current meticulous mind, she would be wary of everyone, and even if it weren't for Su Cheng, she wouldn't use it so easily.

As the secret technique was activated, a dark and deep mist surged from the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul, then enveloped and covered the Blood Tiger.

As if possessing self-awareness, the crimson tiger instinctively looked at the thin mist drifting towards it.

The exposed, snow-white gums opened slightly, revealing sharp fangs that gleamed with a cold light, seemingly emitting a series of silent growls.

The next moment, mist covered the blood-red skeleton of the White Tiger Martial Soul.

The Blood Tiger raised its head and roared angrily, but no sound came out.

As the Blood Tiger continued to struggle, Zhu Zhuqing's face turned pale.

She had also suffered significant injuries in the previous battle, and her soul power had been greatly depleted.

Because his cultivation level was lower than Su Cheng's, his condition was even worse at this moment.

But at this moment, the Blood Tiger's struggle suddenly weakened, and it stood motionless in place, letting the dark mist absorb and devour it.

Soon, the essence of the White Tiger Martial Soul's bloodline was completely devoured, leaving only scattered remnants.

At the same time, Zhu Zhuqing unleashed a surge of soul power far exceeding what her apparent Soul Emperor cultivation level should have.

Its aura was so strong that it even surpassed that of ordinary Title Douluos!

Her martial spirit has completely changed.

A giant tiger, completely transparent with white fur and black stripes, and gleaming purple eyes, crouched silently behind him.

From then on, she no longer needed to rely on the Martial Soul Fusion Technique to recreate the might of the Netherworld White Tiger.

On the other side, as Zhu Zhuqing finished using the bloodline-stealing secret technique, the remaining remnants of her martial soul in mid-air returned to Su Cheng's body.

But his aura also suddenly dropped.

His soul power cultivation, which once reached level 76, is now less than level 30.

Moreover, this is a permanent fall.

His martial spirit is ruined and there is no possibility of it recovering.

Unlike typical malignant mutations of martial souls, his injury was fundamental and almost irreparable.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Su Cheng, who seemed to have lost consciousness, with a complicated expression, then got up and walked towards the three corpses of the Thousand-Pound Ant King not far away.

The central area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest where they were located was originally occupied by two 100,000-year-old soul beasts, the Ape God and the Ox and Horse. No soul beast within a hundred miles dared to approach easily.

Later, the two forest kings disappeared, and the place was occupied by three 90,000-year-old thousand-pound ant kings.

Now that the Thousand-Pound Ant King has just died, there is no risk in absorbing a soul ring here in a short period of time.

Zhu Zhuqing temporarily put aside those irrelevant thoughts, silently sat cross-legged on the ground, and launched a summoning attack on the first 90,000-year soul ring in front of her.

Her original plan was to absorb one of them to advance to the Soul Saint level.

With her current physical strength and actual cultivation level, this step does not require much effort.

After absorbing the second spirit ring as quickly as possible, regardless of whether it can be fully absorbed, one must attempt to break through the final barrier before the last spirit ring disappears.

However, when she sent a spirit ring summon to a giant ant king, something unexpected happened.

Three streams of black energy were simultaneously released from the body of the Three-Headed Thousand-Pound Ant King, transforming into black-and-red soul rings that covered the Netherworld White Tiger.

Upon seeing the scene before her, Zhu Zhuqing was slightly startled but quickly came to her senses.

Her current cultivation level, coupled with the extremely powerful Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul, makes her pull on the Soul Ring far too domineering.

Although she only summoned one of the spirit rings, the three brothers' corpses were too close, and coupled with the powerful strength of her current spirit and her cultivation level of a Title Douluo, all three spirit rings reacted simultaneously.

However, absorbing three spirit rings at the same time undoubtedly carries extremely high risks, not to mention that these are absorptions spanning multiple years.

But Zhu Zhuqing did not hesitate at all, allowing the three soul rings to be placed on her Netherworld White Tiger at the same time.

Martial spirits and soul masters naturally influence each other.

This is especially evident in those who possess Beast Martial Souls.

The kingly aura of the Netherworld White Tiger also subtly influenced Zhu Zhuqing.

If she was more cautious and calm in the past, she is now much more profound and domineering.

Even when faced with three terrifying 90,000-year soul rings, they showed no intention of backing down.

Having already paid such a high price for this step, she had no other choice.

Soul rings are used to refine and evolve a martial soul. When absorbing a soul ring, a soul master's physical fitness is only the first hurdle. However, if the energy of the soul ring is too great, the martial soul may be burst by the energy of the soul ring.

Under the impact of the immense energy, the Netherworld White Tiger roared, its purple eyes turned scarlet, blood oozing from its white fur, and the Wind God Domain spontaneously expanded.

The energy that surged into her body in that instant was terrifying. Even though Zhu Zhuqing had made full preparations, she still felt a sudden darkness before her eyes and almost fainted from the impact of this energy.

A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her mouth, but her eyes remained as resolute as ever.

"bring it on."

Whether it's the three 90,000-year soul rings or the Netherworld White Tiger, they are all considered the best in the world.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing's seemingly delicate body instantly became the battlefield where these two completely different and powerful energies collided.

It's also thanks to her past experience of absorbing spirit rings across different time limits that her physical attributes far surpass those of others of the same level.

In addition, his meridians are extremely resilient due to years of practicing the Nirvana Sutra; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hold on for even a short while.

Even so, she felt she was nearing her limit.

The violent soul power surged through her meridians, constantly tearing her body apart.

It's not just the meridians.

Blood was rushing through her veins at breakneck speed, and her internal organs were under extreme pressure, with blood gushing out from all seven orifices.

However, Zhu Zhuqing could not slow down the flow of her soul power at this moment.

The energy within the spirit ring was far too violent for her to control; the only solution she could think of was to confront it head-on.

The sharp and violent soul power unique to the Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul will not be at a disadvantage in this collision.

However, as the two enormous energies collided, Zhu Zhuqing's meridians finally gave way, and the point of impact began to shatter inch by inch.

Intense pain instantly swept through her body, and a layer of blood appeared on her entire body surface.

Su Cheng, who had been silently observing Zhu Zhuqing's current state with his eyes open, lowered his gaze and looked somewhat solemn.

He had underestimated the power of these three 90,000-year soul rings combined.

Even if Zhu Zhuqing suppressed her soul power in advance, even if she was helped to transform her martial soul into the Netherworld White Tiger and advance to the title of Douluo in one fell swoop.

Given her current physical condition after her recent advancement, it would be too much of a stretch for her to absorb three spirit rings at the same time on her own.

After pondering for a moment, Su Cheng got up and walked towards Zhu Zhuqing.

Her clothes were already tattered due to the impact of the raging soul power overflowing from her body.

With a flick of his fingertip, Su Cheng easily sliced ​​it apart with his soul power, and it scattered on the ground.

Zhu Zhuqing naturally sensed his movement.

In fact, she had already sensed it the moment Su Cheng got up.

Although she devoted almost all her attention to controlling her own soul power, Su Cheng's current level of power was far too different from hers, making it impossible for her to hide it from him.

In Zhu Zhuqing's perception, that familiar aura and soul power fluctuations first approached continuously, and then stood behind her, with soul power surging out.

The other party's actions made her sigh inwardly.

However, they didn't have much of a desire to resist.

However, when she discovered that the other party's soul power had only torn her clothes open, she was shocked and angry, and her face involuntarily flushed.

But then a complex mix of emotions welled up inside me, and strangely, I didn't feel any disgust.

Instead, it quickly returned to calm.

"Fine, let him do whatever he wants..."
