Chapter 36: Pillow Fight
A power several times stronger than before the modification surged out from the Martial Spirit, greatly enhancing Zhu Zhuqing’s body strength just like every time absorbing soul rings.
At the same time, two cat tails emerged from behind Zhu Zhuqing, swaying unconsciously.
Zhu Zhuqing’s face was rosy, her eyes incredibly bright: “This… is the feeling of a top-tier Martial Spirit? So strong.”
“No no no, this is a god-level Martial Spirit.” Meng Huaifeng wagged a finger, glanced at the tail behind Zhu Zhuqing, and asked: “What is your Martial Spirit now?”
“Nine Lives Cat Demon, with a talent soul skill. Every time a soul ring is obtained, one more tail appears, and each tail can die in her place once. After dying in place, a new tail can regrow every month.” Zhu Zhuqing said, unable to hide her excitement.
God-level? No wonder it’s so powerful.
Zhu Zhuqing’s heart trembled. This was a term her past self had never dared to imagine.
She owed too much kindness; no words could express it sufficiently. Zhu Zhuqing could only bury her gratitude in her heart and make up for it with her actions in the future.
But for the Nameless Guest, this was just a lift of a hand.
“This talent is very strong.” Meng Huaifeng raised an eyebrow.
“Quick, tell me, are you an Abundant Evil Creature?” March 7th leaned forward slightly, widening her eyes and staring at Zhu Zhuqing.
“Ah?” Zhu Zhuqing looked bewildered. What was an Abundant Evil Creature?
March 7th sat down in frustration. It was no fun when others couldn’t catch her reference.
Dan Heng was also momentarily dazed. This undying trait reminded him of an old acquaintance.
However, Dan Heng, who had already overcome his knot in the heart, quickly cleared this old acquaintance from his mind, his expression unchanged.
“Next is your soul ring.” Dan Heng reminded.
“Mm.” Zhu Zhuqing nodded.
The original soul beast’s power in the soul ring was easily expelled, leaving only a pale white empty shell.
Dan Heng transmitted his own Imaginary Energy into the empty shell. The colors of the two soul rings changed from white to yellow, growing deeper and quickly transforming toward purple.
“Stop.” Zhu Zhuqing proactively interrupted Dan Heng’s energy transmission.
“What’s wrong? Your body’s bearing capacity hasn’t reached the limit yet; the soul ring’s age can still be improved further.” Dan Heng asked puzzledly.
“This is enough. If it improves more, it will turn purple. I can’t casually change the number and color of soul rings like you all can. We still have to stay in the Douluo Continent for a long time; purple soul rings are too eye-catching and might bring trouble to you.” Zhu Zhuqing said understandingly.
People who know when to advance and retreat, who understand propriety, are never disliked. The four members of the Pioneer Squad were even more satisfied with Zhu Zhuqing.
“That’s fine too; it can be improved anytime in the future anyway.” Dan Heng said with a light smile.
“Finally settled, let’s play pillow fight!” March 7th said expectantly.
“You all play; I’ll head back to my room first.” Dan Heng said.
“No way! Trying to isolate us again.” March 7th pouted.
“You already have plenty of people; one more me doesn’t matter, one less me isn’t a loss.” Dan Heng looked at March 7th with some headache.
“Less nonsense, take this pillow!” The star person was not one for tough talk; one pillow smashed right onto Dan Heng’s head.
Zhu Zhuqing watched wide-eyed and open-mouthed. This was a god, yet she just hit him like that. Even in her childhood, her relationship with her sister wasn’t this close!
What an enviable companionship.
Dan Heng, having resolved his knot in the heart, was much more open. Since Little March insisted on him playing with her, he’d let her see his strength!
Dan Heng snatched the pillow Star had thrown at him, striking left and right as if performing cloud rider spear technique. Not only did he block the pillows coming at him, he also smashed each of them on the head once.
However, two fists were no match for four hands after all; Dan Heng soon fell into disadvantage and had to call Meng Huaifeng for support.
The outmatched March 7th and Star also hurriedly called Zhu Zhuqing for help.
Zhu Zhuqing was initially reserved and tied down, but after Meng Huaifeng smothered her head with pillows twice, she finally brought out her full strength.
In an instant, goose feathers filled the room, like a heavy snowfall, occasionally accompanied by the girls’ startled cries.
Don’t ask why a guest room has so many pillows; it’s because March 7th’s Ticket Space stores a lot of them!
Just for this moment!
This pillow fight raged fiercely, nearly darkening the sky and dimming the earth, almost grinding away the Great Dao. Everything in the entire room was covered in goose feathers.
The three girls’ long hair was also full of goose feathers, utterly disheveled, like little madwomen, extremely bedraggled.
Meng Huaifeng and Dan Heng took advantage of their short hair; it didn’t look messy and didn’t catch much goose feathers, making them look like victors.
March 7th was indignant but could only watch helplessly as the two left the room with the strides of victors.
Since awakening her Martial Spirit, this was the first time Zhu Zhuqing experienced such unrestrained freedom. The cold mask had long melted away, her smile blooming like a flower.
However, it wasn’t time to relax yet. With her strength so weak, how could she follow them with peace of mind?
Seeing March 7th and Star seemingly asleep, Zhu Zhuqing got up and left the room. She wanted to familiarize herself with her new Martial Spirit and soul skills, and cultivate diligently!
March 7th opened her eyes, a hint of helplessness in them. Little sister, stop grinding; you make me look so lazy!
Cultivating soul power is hopeless!
Once Sister Himeko and Uncle Yang return, they’ll open your Destiny for you. Isn’t it great to improve strength just by traveling to different places?
Glancing at the heartless Star sleeping like a dead pig, March 7th felt slightly relieved. Good, at least someone is below me.
The next morning, the Pioneer Squad paid double the room fee as compensation for cleaning the room, and continued toward the Sunset Forest.
The Sunset Forest is the largest soul beast forest within the Heaven Dou Empire, only a few hundred kilometers from the Heaven Dou Empire capital, rich in soul beast resources.
Naturally, towns for spirit masters to rest dot the area around the Sunset Forest; Green Lion Town is one of them.
Rumor has it that over two hundred years ago, a Fierce Wind Mad Lion close to a hundred thousand years suddenly left the core area of the Sunset Forest, unleashing a massacre nearby. Countless mid- and low-level spirit masters died as a result, even one Soul Douluo perished.
Later, a Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall eliminated the harm for the people, slaying the Fierce Wind Mad Lion here. Riding on this fame, a town quickly sprang up at the site of the Fierce Wind Mad Lion’s death and was named Green Lion Town.
“Not even a hundred thousand year soul beast, does the legend have to be this exaggerated?” Listening to the locals’ introduction, March 7th stuck out her tongue and whispered.
“Hundred thousand year soul beasts are extremely rare; most Titled Douluo don’t even have a 100,000-Year Soul Ring. So a soul beast close to a hundred thousand years is already top-tier. Moreover, such soul beasts mostly appear in the core area; those hunted at the forest edges are even rarer. It’s normal for the tales to grow like this.” Zhu Zhuqing, the local, said.
