Chapter 251 The Youngest Elder in the History of Spirit Hall
The Blue Silver Grass Forest, which was originally quiet and peaceful, set off a huge storm today.
Countless towering trees were blown by the strong wind, and their branches swayed and leaves fell.
If someone looked down from a high altitude at this moment, they would even have the illusion of being on the blue-green ocean.
The tsunami was overwhelming, and the waves were surging.
This was originally a landscape that was almost impossible to appear.
Only in open areas, solar radiation causes differences in ambient temperature, and the sudden change in air pressure will intensify the air flow and form such a large-scale strong wind.
And under the dense vegetation here, there are a large number of plant-type soul beasts that form a powerful field like a small world to suppress it, and there is no environment for hurricanes at all.
But the storm here is not formed naturally.
The center of the storm is calm at the moment, and a tall figure is standing there, which is the culprit for the current wonder.
The strong winds and waves surrounding the outside world do not seem to have any effect on this place.
The black clothes on the figure have long been tattered.
It was not torn apart by the strong wind, but by the high concentration of soul power running wildly in the meridians, which directly exploded from the inside out.
The color was completely dyed dark red, and the whole person looked like he had just been fished out of blood plasma.
But looking through the gaps in her ragged clothes, there was no spring color at all, all were terrible scars that could be seen deep into the bones.
Under the extremely powerful soul power impact, the meridians, flesh, and skin in her body could not bear it at all, and were directly shattered into layers of blood mist.
Only tougher bones could barely support it.
But even so, those exposed bones were still covered with cracks.
The strong wind blew more and more fiercely.
Zhu Zhuqing's breath was already extremely weak.
Her pretty face, which was originally as delicate as a stone carving, looked extremely hideous at this moment.
However, until now, her new soul ring had just passed the 90,000-year level...
More flesh and blood exploded silently.
Countless thunders exploded in the depths of Zhu Zhuqing's soul.
She almost turned into a skeleton.
However, except for the light red 100,000-year soul bone on her left arm that came from Xiao Wu, all the other bones in her body were shining with a silver-gray luster.
The cold light was fierce and the murderous aura was overwhelming.
It didn't look like a human skeleton, but more like a ferocious and roaring tiger.
The fierce wind passed through the holes between the bones, making a sharp whistle.
The tiger died and the bones stood, but the killing power still existed!
The next moment, the white tiger-shaped Qi and blood in the air rolled back and poured into the bones again, coating them with a layer of red light...
The wind gradually stopped.
The blue soul power ocean was forcibly dispersed by the light of another realm.
Su Cheng finally took action.
"Zhuqing, pour the true meaning of the martial soul that you have comprehended into the soul ring!"
His voice seemed to resound directly in the depths of Zhu Zhuqing's soul.
The external condensed soul power had dissipated at this point.
A complex and incomprehensible light flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, and then she endured the severe pain in her body and began to enter the steps of stabilizing the soul ring.
The strong winds in the forest dissipated, only forming a circle in the center.
Looking at the huge blood cocoon surrounded by the blood-colored hurricane not far away, Su Cheng's eyes were dim and uncertain.
If Zhu Zhuqing continued, would she have a chance to obtain the sixth soul ring of 100,000 years?
In fact, there was.
Although she did not understand the special nature of the 100,000-year soul ring like Su Cheng, and knew how to infuse special will into it and give spirituality to the powerful soul ring.
But her previous advanced talent field, and the further understanding of the true meaning of the martial soul between life and death, and the strong and pure fighting spirit emanating from her body from the inside out, can meet this condition.
If the soul ring age really breaks through the bottleneck of 100,000 years, it will naturally complete the promotion.
It's just too risky.
For her, if she wants to further improve the soul ring, she will have to go through several life-and-death crises.
And the further you go, the greater the danger.
It is difficult for her body to support that point.
In Su Cheng's opinion, it is enough for Zhu Zhuqing to achieve this step.
Although her sixth soul ring has not undergone a real qualitative change, it is definitely different from the ordinary ten thousand year soul ring.
That is the special soul ring that is naturally condensed and most suitable for her.
And in the process of condensing the soul ring, she also integrated her own special understanding, and there may be opportunities for further improvement in the future.
Not only that.
Su Cheng also saw that the fighting spirit she showed at the last moment was actually quite powerful.
A real battle is not a game, and the victory or defeat is not determined by the blood bar.
For ordinary soul masters, as the battle continues, the injuries incurred in the process, the consumption during the period, and the mental fatigue will make the state continue to decline.
So generally speaking, it will not be the case that the more you fight, the stronger you will become. On the contrary, the more you fight, the weaker you will become.
But from now on, Zhu Zhuqing is not in the normal range.
With the blessing of that strange fighting spirit, she can really become stronger and stronger.
In layman's terms, the lower the HP, the higher the combat power, and the lower the HP, the more terrifying it is.
Even after a life-and-death battle, as long as you survive, you can greatly improve your strength.
Su Cheng guessed that there were two reasons for this situation.
One is the killing instinct and warlike nature possessed by the Netherworld White Tiger Martial Spirit, which matches the corresponding talents. This is the most fundamental prerequisite, and it is the unique characteristic of this god-level martial spirit. Just like the purifying properties of Seraph's martial soul and the real wings attached to the soul master.
The second is that Zhu Zhuqing has experienced the hard training in the Killing City, and the process of stimulating the blood to condense the soul ring. With his strong will that transcends life and death, he has stimulated the potential of the martial soul.
As the condensed soul ring came to an end.
The whole forest also became quiet.
The Blue Silver King consciously began to release his soul skills, and the azure blue light swayed out, nourishing the huge blood cocoon in the open space in front of him with the wood attribute soul power with strong vitality.
Su Cheng was not idle either and also used the Five Elements Domain to enhance it.
Time passed little by little, and half a day passed quickly.
"Chacha——"
Along with a slight sound, white light flashed, and the blood cocoon shell shattered.
A slim figure wearing a tight-fitting black dress and a gorgeous robe slowly walked out of it.
After all, Zhu Zhuqing was born into a noble family.
Although there was a lot of trouble at home, there was still no shortage of things like soul guides, and he also had his own spare clothes, which did not allow Su Cheng to see more happiness.
But at this time, he was obviously not in the mood to look at those things.
He noticed that Zhu Zhuqing's appearance and temperament had undergone considerable changes at this time.
Her figure was not short to begin with, but with her promotion to Soul Emperor this time, she was a few inches taller than before, and her appearance became more mature.
The lines on her face that had softened due to the special soul power of the Blue Silver Grass Forest, and her long hair that was slightly dark blue, had all receded at this time.
The long hair has a slight dark red sheen, and the cheeks and facial features appear more three-dimensional compared to the past.
Although the appearance has become much more refined, the sharpness between the corners of the eyes and the tips of the eyebrows has become more and more obvious, almost making people dare not look directly.
But it wasn't a ferocious murderous aura, but pure sharpness.
Like an unsheathed sharp blade, even if they look at each other, they seem to be cut by the sharp energy emanating from their eyes.
"……Feel sorry."
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing walking towards him, Su Cheng was silent for a moment, but his first sentence was an apology.
Although he didn't say much else, Zhu Zhuqing understood what he meant.
He kept walking until he was very close to him, then he stopped.
Then, Zhu Zhuqing stretched out his slender white fingers and gently stroked Su Cheng's cheek.
Her actions made Su Cheng stunned for a moment.
Zhu Zhuqing rarely takes the initiative like this.
There was also an incomprehensible light in her eyes.
"Su Cheng, you know, I actually have deep resentment towards you."
Zhu Zhuqingtan opened her mouth slightly and whispered.
"It's not because of your messy thoughts, nor because of Qian Renxue.
"I hate you for treating me like a puppet and arbitrarily arranging my life.
“Maybe those are false, or maybe it’s for my own good in your opinion, but that’s not what I want.
"I can fight for whatever I want. Otherwise, for me, it's just jumping from one prison into another."
Su Cheng opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Even the action he just took actually went against Zhu Zhuqing's personal will.
But there was no way. Rather than being blamed afterwards or having some impact on Zhu Zhuqing, he could not tolerate another outcome.
He is such a selfish person.
In many things, it is impossible to achieve the unity of knowledge and action as imagined.
However, at this time, Zhu Zhuqing's voice sounded again, and his tone became much softer.
"But just now, I was afraid that you would let me continue to be willful and watch me take risks. After all, I am also a very ordinary person."
A gentle smile appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's usually cold cheek.
"I didn't understand until just now. In fact, compared to you trying your best to interfere with me, I am more afraid that you will ignore me."
"..."
"Su Cheng, I have no relatives anymore, I only have you."
Two days later, two young people, a man and a woman, walked into Tiandou City side by side.
The man's brilliance is restrained, and apart from his temperament, which is as calm as a mountain, there is not much that is special about him.
On the contrary, the woman walking next to him had an extremely hot figure and a delicate and beautiful face. However, her cold aura and eyes that looked like a sharp blade made people dare not look directly at her.
These two people were Su Cheng and Zhu Zhuqing who had left the Blue Silver Grass Forest.
As Zhu Zhuqing was successfully promoted to Soul Emperor that day, the two of them also set off again, preparing to visit the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
But before returning to the sect, Su Cheng took her to Tiandou City.
Although Zhu Zhuqing successfully self-condensed his sixth soul ring to achieve a breakthrough, his strength has undergone earth-shaking transformation, and the injuries he suffered during his promotion have fully recovered.
But mental fatigue is not so easy to make up for.
Especially the various feelings brought about by the thin line between life and death many times are even more exhausting.
So before returning to the clan, Su Cheng planned to take her to have a rest.
Simply put, just get some sleep.
There is no way to fundamentally relieve mental stress more than sleep.
"The living environment here is much better than that in Xingluo Emperor."
Looking at the various pedestrians coming and going on Kuandao Street, Zhu Zhuqing sighed casually.
This is not her first time in this city.
During the last Soul Master Competition, she was a member of the Shrek Academy team and had come with the academy to participate in the preliminaries of the Tiandou Division.
Earlier, she had followed the academy teachers to the Tiandou Royal Academy to seek the qualification to participate.
It was also at that time that she and Su Cheng met and recognized each other, and then went to the Sunset Forest to take the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, laying a solid foundation for her future development.
However, at that time, she was either busy or following the academy team, and there was nothing to communicate with her teammates, so she didn't visit here much.
Until today, she had this opportunity.
There were many shops on the wide and clean streets, and the bustling flow of people was endless.
Although her expression was still cold, there was some joy in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
Su Cheng looked at her thoughtfully.
Zhu Zhuqing has really changed a lot.
No longer so depressed, but more lively.
Even though his expression was still as cold as before, his aura was lively and active.
This kind of relaxation from the soul cannot be faked.
"After all, the environment of the two countries is not the same. Come with me, I'll take you to a place." As he said that, he took the other person's hand and walked towards the core of Tiandou City.
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at the palms of the two people calmly, then looked around as if nothing had happened, and a slight arc appeared at the corner of his lips.
The two walked all the way to the most prosperous area in the center of Tiandou City before stopping in front of a building with a simple and elegant style.
This is a small building with five floors. Even in the prosperous Tiandou City, it can be regarded as a very tall building.
There are only two simple words on the plaque hanging above, Yuexuan.
There are not many pedestrians coming in and out. But it is obvious that those people are all dressed in luxurious clothes and have excellent temperament, and many of them even have soul power.
Even the two young men standing in front of the door to welcome guests look handsome and extraordinary.
Walking into the first floor, a faint fragrance hits you. The screen wall is carved from the finest boxwood, and two exotic orchids as high as three meters stand in front of the screen wall.
Although the inside and outside are only one step away, they are like two different worlds.
Zhu Zhuqing looked a little surprised.
This place is indeed quite different.
Elegant and peaceful, although the materials and layout are all good, the style is extremely low-key.
Going around the screen wall, there is a wide hall behind. The floor is paved with large pieces of gray square bricks, and all around are furnishings made of various expensive woods.
Behind a wide table in front, several girls with simple clothes and beautiful looks are standing there. On both sides of the table, there is an exquisite wooden staircase.
The two did not stay on the first floor for long, and went directly upstairs.
As soon as they entered the second floor, there was a pleasant sound of music coming from the venue. There were neatly arranged tables and chairs around, and many guests were sitting there quietly drinking tea and listening to music, which looked quite elegant.
Su Cheng made a gesture with his eyes, then walked to the other side of the stairs leading to the third floor, ready to go upstairs to have a look.
In fact, he was also a little curious about this place.
He had been in Tiandou City for so long before, but he had never been to this place.
However, as soon as he reached the stairs, he was stopped by the waiter guarding there.
"I'm sorry, the third floor and above are only open to members of Yuexuan and soul masters above three rings. Please show your credentials."
"..."
Su Cheng couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this.
The two people at the door were ordinary people. Even if he showed his aura, it would not be of much use. He would not know his specific cultivation level, so the only way was to show his soul ring.
But to be honest, whether it was him or Zhu Zhuqing, the soul rings on their bodies were a little conspicuous.
If they were revealed, they might attract onlookers, which was not very good.
"Forget it, I think the environment on the second floor is not bad."
Zhu Zhuqing noticed his embarrassment and took the initiative to speak.
She really didn't care whether she went up or not.
The enjoyment of life had long lost its appeal to her.
The environment of Yuexuan is indeed good, but it only surprised her a little.
In comparison, the conditions in Wuhun City are obviously much better than here.
"Okay." Su Cheng nodded.
Anyway, it's just a casual stroll. The people playing music upstairs are just better.
But neither he nor Zhu Zhuqing understands this thing at all, and can't tell good from bad, so it's probably no difference.
"Su Cheng?!"
At this moment, a slightly surprised male voice came from the direction of the stairs.
Su Cheng looked back and saw Yu Tianheng appearing at the corner.
"Senior, what a coincidence."
He didn't release his perception in advance, and now he suddenly saw the other party appearing here, and he was a little surprised.
He didn't know that Yu Tianheng had graduated from Tiandou Royal Academy as early as last year after the Soul Master Competition.
The reason why he met Su Cheng here is not a coincidence.
In fact, during this period of time, he often walked around Yuexuan.
Since Dugu Bo joined the Spirit Hall, Dugu Yan also enrolled in the Spirit Hall Academy.
This also led to the end of the romance between her and Yu Tianheng, which had just begun to show signs of love.
This matter did not have much impact on Dugu Yan, after all, she had a grandfather at the Titled Douluo level.
But for Yu Tianheng, it was not so easy to accept.
The internal relationship of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family was not very harmonious, and as the contemporary heir of the family head, his performance was not outstanding.
There was originally an opportunity to win over the Titled Douluo, but it was missed with the departure of Dugu Bo.
As a result, Yu Tianheng's position in the family became more and more awkward.
It happened that Su Cheng had used the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect a little in order to pull Qian Renxue out of the quagmire of the Tiandou Royal Family, which indirectly facilitated their contact with the Tiandou Royal Family.
In order to further befriend the Tiandou Royal Family and accumulate some connections for his eldest grandson, Yu Yuanzhen, the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, handed over the matter of further contacting the upper-class nobles of Tiandou to Yu Tianheng.
And Yuexuan was naturally his first choice for wandering in the upper class of the empire and communicating with many nobles.
Su Cheng didn't think so much, and he was too lazy to think about the reason why the other party was here.
He just smiled casually and said, "Senior, can you take us up to have a look?"
Yu Tianheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and agreed with a smile, his expression seemed a bit flattering.
For this former junior, it is difficult for him to use the past perspective to put himself in an equal position.
Su Cheng has been living in Wuhun City for a year, and he doesn't know much about the rumors in the outside world.
It is even more unclear that his name has already spread throughout the soul master world of the entire continent.
The youngest elder of the Wuhun Hall in history.
When the news was just heard, the first reaction of most people was disbelief.
Until the branches of the Wuhun Hall in various places confirmed it personally, these people had to believe it.
Some people say that this is the Wuhun Hall creating momentum, creating stars, and paving the way for their ambitions.
Indeed, Su Cheng's performance in that competition was extremely brilliant, but it was still within the common sense of the world's cognition.
But becoming an elder of the Wuhun Hall before the age of 20 is a bit exaggerated.
There will be seven champions of the Soul Master Competition every few years, but how many elders are there in the Spirit Hall after all these years?
What's more, Su Cheng is not the champion of that session.
Some people also say that Su Cheng is clinging to someone, just like the so-called "golden generation" of the Spirit Hall except Qian Renxue, which is not worthy of the name, but just found a backer.
But no matter what, the title of elder cannot be faked.
Wherever this identity is obtained, it will be immediately regarded as the most distinguished guest.
When Yu Tianheng led Su Cheng upstairs, his mood was also very complicated.
Although there are some conflicts between the three sects and the Spirit Hall.
But no one dares to deny the strength of the Spirit Hall.
He did not expect that his former junior and teammate would jump up and become the youngest elder in the Spirit Hall in less than a year after joining the Spirit Hall, and he is a powerful elder who really holds power.
Even though he knew that Dugu Bo joined the Spirit Hall, probably because Su Cheng had contributed to it, he did not dare to complain.
The identities of the two were completely different, and they could not be compared at all.
At this time, his eyes moved slightly again, looking at the woman who followed Su Cheng silently, and asked uncertainly: "Are you... Zhu Zhuqing?"
If we talk about who is the most outstanding person in the last Soul Master Competition, it is undoubtedly Su Cheng and Qian Renxue.
But in addition to them, Zhu Zhuqing and Tang San from Shrek Academy, and Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan from the golden generation of the Spirit Hall are also famous.
Among them, Zhu Zhuqing, who is the strongest, is the most famous.
Although she is not like Su Cheng now, because of her identity as an elder of the Spirit Hall, she is well-known on the mainland, but she is also passed on by word of mouth among the younger generation.
However, compared with a year ago, Zhu Zhuqing's appearance and temperament have obviously changed a lot.
Therefore, Yu Tianheng cannot be completely sure.
"Hello." Zhu Zhuqing didn't mind and nodded slightly to the other party.
"You...?"
Yu Tianheng's eyes subconsciously fell on the palms of the two people holding together.
"Yes." Su Cheng nodded, and did not deny it.
A smile appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's cold cheeks, which surprised Yu Tianheng.
Su Cheng didn't know that after they left, the originally quiet atmosphere on this floor suddenly became noisy.
Almost everyone cast their eyes in the direction of the stairs and talked about it.
Just now, Yu Tianheng saw Su Cheng and shouted loudly in surprise.
In addition, he himself is also a frequent visitor to Yuexuan. As the theoretical future heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect, he is already famous.
Who else could surprise him so much, except for "Su Cheng" who once studied at the Tiandou Royal Academy?
Almost all the people who come and go in Yuexuan are high-level figures in the Tiandou Empire.
Either nobles with extraordinary family backgrounds, or officials with great power.
Even though many of them were not soul masters, they were inextricably linked to the soul master world.
How could they not have heard of the name of the most famous young soul master on the continent in recent years?
The people guarding the stairs looked at each other subconsciously.
Then one of them hurriedly ran upstairs.
As service staff here, they have been dealing with high-ranking officials for many years, so they are naturally good at dealing with people.
Now that the elders of the Spirit Hall have come here, they have to greet Master Xuan no matter what.
