Chapter 118 Soul Promotion
It was just past the hour of Yin and it was still dark.
The sound of brisk footsteps echoed in the corridor, and its owner was obviously in a good mood.
Liu Xi was delighted and was about to go downstairs. Her son came back last night, so she got up early to make something for him to eat.
Passing by a door, I found it was half-open. I took a few steps forward and tried to close it, but through the crack in the door I happened to see a figure leaning against the wall on a couch.
His eyes were cold and he stared straight at the crescent moon hanging in the starry night by the window, as if he was thinking about something.
"Xuan'er, don't you want to sleep a little longer?" Liu Xi opened the door, walked in and asked softly.
Hearing the voice, Feng Xuan's expression instantly changed into a gentle smile.
"A few hours are enough, Mom, why did you come to see me?" After saying that, he was about to get up.
Seeing this, Liu Xi walked to his side with a helpless look on his face, stared at that face, and couldn't help but reach out and rub it.
Then he said leisurely: "You are still the same, kid. Smiling is not a good disguise. You didn't sleep all night, right? Are you worried about something?"
"No." Feng Xuan stammered, "Well, actually I just couldn't sleep, and I was bored and dazed."
What could be on his mind? It's just that he feels empty. In today's world, he feels helpless everywhere.
Suddenly I kind of understand why those protagonists who travel through time and space and love to pretend to be great and slap others in the face always do that. In fact, they just have nothing to do and are just looking for some fun.
If you always practice hard, you will become stupid.
It seems that we have to develop the entertainment industry as soon as possible, otherwise life will be difficult in the future.
"Hehe, kid." Liu Xi laughed in silence, then sat beside him and looked at the night sky together, trying to understand the other person's feelings.
Neither of them spoke in the quiet room.
After a while, the mother left.
Soon, the aroma of food wafted over.
When we arrived at the lobby on the first floor, the table was already filled with a wide variety of food.
Liu Xi habitually set out four sets of bowls and chopsticks, then remembered something and asked softly, "Where are those two girls? I remember they should have gone to Tiandou City with you, why didn't they come back together?"
So he casually said the reason he had prepared long ago.
"Xiao Wu has been sent to the Etiquette School. Ye Lingling plans to practice with her teacher for a while."
Anyway, the situation is true and there is no need for the mother to doubt anything.
"I see. Her carefree personality is something we should learn from. By the way, who is Lingling's teacher?"
"Fifth Worshiper, he was the one who was in charge of protecting me when I went to Tiandou City."
Then the mother asked about Qian Renxue, because Qian Daoliu had previously taken the initiative to find Liu Xi and asked if she was interested in a marriage.
Unexpectedly, the old man was so anxious to send his granddaughter away, so Feng Xuan had to tell him the truth.
After all, the old man mentioned it a long time ago and I haven't refused yet.
Upon learning that the other party was actually the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, Liu Xi considered it carefully and finally did as the child wished.
After breakfast, I went to the holy mountain with my mother.
According to convention, I have to help a few worshippers in their practice, but my mother's strength is still too weak. She has only become a Soul Master now, and I can't just ignore her forever.
Through the feedback from the Azure Bull Python, Feng Xuan discovered that the person who secretly protected his mother had been replaced by the newly promoted Yue Guan.
As soon as they left the house, Zi Ji, who had been on the roof, jumped and followed Feng Xuan directly.
Her behavior directly scared her mother, but for some reason, Zi Ji explained her mission to her mother in an unusually gentle manner, without any of the coldness she showed in front of Qian Daoliu.
Three days passed quickly.
This ceremony was held at the Fighting Spirit Square on the top of the mountain.
Dozens of soul masters who were selected and on the verge of a breakthrough gathered outside the venue.
They looked around and kept praising the Spirit Hall.
A middle-aged man in a red robe stared at the flat-roofed building on the mountainside and sighed, "Is that the legendary Douluo Palace? I really hope my name can be left in it!" The onlookers who were about to say something for no reason shut their mouths when they saw the logo on the other party's robe.
This is a cardinal!
This time, I'm afraid I'll have to rely on the so-called soul to break through to the Soul Douluo level.
They then discovered that there were people of all stages, and most of them were stewards of the Spirit Hall who were loyal to it.
The door slowly opened, and people quickly walked in after hearing the sound echoing in their ears.
I saw that the square that was supposed to be empty was actually filled with various soul beasts.
The people at the front stopped one after another, and their martial spirits possessed them one after another, concentrating their soul power and staring at them vigilantly.
"What's going on? How come there are so many soul beasts in the Holy Land of the Spirit Hall?"
"What a strong aura! That must be at least ten thousand years old!"
After hearing these words, the people in the back also became nervous. Feeling the fluctuations of soul power possessed by the martial soul, they also planned to activate the martial soul.
The well-prepared cardinal had already learned a lot of information. He explained directly: "No, these soul beasts have no entity. Look carefully, they have no shadows. What we see is actually something like an illusion."
He was the first to enter, and those soul beasts just glanced at him, with some certainty in their hearts.
As expected, they posed no threat at all. Their appearance here must have been allowed by the higher-ups. Perhaps they were the so-called spirits.
He approached a relatively strong-willed thousand-year-old winged tiger, stretched out his hand and tried to touch it, but he actually touched its most vulnerable wings!
You have to know that soul beasts will guard this kind of weak spot very strictly. Not to mention touching it, they will pounce on it and bite and attack at the slightest movement.
Then its tiger eyes fixed, and the cardinal stopped moving. Seeing that the other party had no intention of attacking, he continued to try to smooth out his feathers. The other party still did not move, but instead made a low gurgling sound.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the cardinal was not attacked, the others became bolder and tried to get closer to the soul beast, but the habits they had developed over the years still made them remain vigilant.
There was constant chattering.
After a while, a young man walked up to the platform.
"Souls are a special state of soul beasts. Although they look like living creatures, they are actually dead. But don't even think about attacking them. They still retain their fighting power as before they were alive."
Hearing the sound, everyone raised their heads and looked at each other.
"My name is Feng Xuan, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall. From today on, I will be responsible for issuing soul contracts for the Spirit Hall."
"Next, these soul beasts will begin to choose hosts. You can start to show your martial souls and strengths."
After saying this, without waiting for the soul masters to reply, he turned around and disappeared on the platform.
Everyone in the square was confused. How could the Son of God be responsible for such a thing?
Although they were confused, they all followed the other party's wishes and let their martial spirits possess their bodies, releasing their soul power.
As Feng Xuan finished speaking, countless soul beasts no longer stayed where they were. Instead, they stood up one after another and slowly walked around the square.
Feng Xuan didn’t know what they all needed, he only knew the approximate level, so he released people of all levels of cultivation.
Many souls had no interest in becoming someone else's soul, they just raised their eyes and continued to lie there.
In the end, the soul beasts with ideas quickly stood beside the soul masters they chose. Because there were too many people and too little resources, basically several soul beasts picked one person.
Then he was picked in the opposite direction.
After completion, Feng Xuan gave the authority to allow all the two-way choices to be merged.
Finally only the cardinal was left.
Because the age of the soul beasts here is too young for him, the strongest is only 30,000 years old.
Amidst many voices of thanks, he collected all the remaining souls into the banner, and then summoned out the remaining soul beasts that were over 50,000 years old.
This is how all the targets for this time were completed.
