Chapter 148

After the pleasant "make-up lesson" ended, Shu Yan carried Xu Jiujiu to the special bath in the Princess's Mansion for a mandarin duck bath, and then the two fell asleep in each other's arms.

Morning light was faint.

Shu Yan slowly opened his eyes. He sat up from the soft chaise longue and stretched his whole body, making several crisp sounds. If he had to find a word to describe his feeling, Shu Yan felt it must be "refreshed"! Looking at Xu Jiujiu, who was still sound asleep beside him, Shu Yan teased her by pinching the girl's nose, and only released it after seeing she was a bit dissatisfied, then went alone to the small pavilion outside.

The cool morning light took away the darkness. Shu Yan felt the timing was right, so he took out that top-tier brain external soul bone and prepared to start absorbing it.

However, before that, he notified Electrolux in his spiritual sea in advance, and only after receiving the other party's response did he begin to absorb this soul bone.

The Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King itself was a super fierce beast with a cultivation reaching the peak of 490,000 years. However, because it was too special and lacked the strength to survive the next heavenly tribulation, it had the idea of seizing Qian Gu Chaosheng's body, but it didn't expect that not only did the seizure fail, but it also lost all of its own origin.

As the soul bone entered his body, Shu Yan clearly perceived an extremely evil and bloody resentment invading his spiritual sea at an unimaginable speed.

But soon, the resentment from the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King successfully "got stunned." Not far away, Electrolux floated above the spiritual sea, his expression indifferent, but the gray airflow swirling around him made him look like a true god, inviolable. The absolute suppression from the spiritual level made the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King's resentment scream. It sensed that the spiritual body opposite was definitely ten thousand times stronger than itself. If it had known there was such a terrifying existence inside, it wouldn't have been so "thick-headed" to drill in even if it were beaten to death...

Electrolux just smiled lightly. He watched quietly as the blood-colored remnant soul frantically slammed against the boundary of Shu Yan's spiritual sea, then he gently raised his hand and made a downward pressing motion. A vast amount of spiritual power was mobilized by him, easily slapping the blood-colored remnant soul into blue light spots that disappeared without a trace...

This soul bone was undoubtedly the best of the best. After Shu Yan finished absorbing this soul bone, his soul power level increased by two levels, taking another step toward the Soul Douluo realm. But the leap completed by his spiritual power was astonishing.

After absorbing the massive, pure spiritual power remaining in this brain external soul bone, Shu Yan's spiritual power leaped up and then reached an extremely terrifying level.

Shu Yan roughly estimated that his original spiritual power was at the Titled Douluo level, but because of the pure and clean nature of the Ice Sky Snow Woman martial soul, it was enough to contend with a Super Douluo. And with this spiritual-attribute brain external soul bone plus the massive spiritual power accumulated by the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat over ten thousand years, his spiritual power was now only slightly inferior to a normal Limit Douluo.

In other words, was the current Shu Yan also half a Limit Douluo? Slowly opening his eyes, strands of blood-red aura slowly dissipated from Shu Yan's eyes. His spiritual power enveloped the entire Star Luo City in an instant. Every move of all things could not escape his eyes. The gentle spiritual power almost condensed into substance around him, and then turned into wave after wave of spiritual surges in the sky, rendering all the clouds in the sky into a strange icy blue.

Countless powerhouses in the palace were alerted, and the soul tool array guarding the palace was activated, surrounding everyone within it.

Shu Yan's consciousness merged with the entire world. He didn't expect that the breakthrough of his spiritual power would cause such a big commotion. This was something that couldn't be concealed even if he wanted to. So, he might as well let it play its greatest role. "All powerhouses belonging to the Star Luo Empire, immediately put down everything in your hands, sit cross-legged on the spot, and comprehend the mysteries within."

The grand voice, with the help of his spiritual power comparable to a Limit Douluo, entered the ears of everyone in the Star Luo Palace. Immediately after, a gentle golden light rose from the Starlight Hall, and the Star Totem flickered. Although countless Star Luo powerhouses were shocked, the Emperor's personal statement proved that the powerhouse who created such a formation was definitely one of their own. At once, everyone, including the Shattered Star Douluo, sat cross-legged on the spot and began to comprehend the powerful essence within the spiritual surge with their hearts.

Drops of blue light fell from the icy blue clouds and then slowly entered each powerhouse who was comprehending. Even a palace maid with only a dozen levels of soul power cultivation gained something.

Those blue light spots were the purest spiritual power. As long as they were absorbed, their own spiritual power would automatically increase. For those powerhouses below the Titled Douluo realm, the barriers that had troubled them for a long time slowly melted away like ice and snow. For a time, soul power fluctuations from breakthroughs in cultivation were coming from all over the palace.

This spiritual surge continued for a full two and a half hours before dissipating. Countless people benefited from it. Countless soul masters also sat cross-legged outside the palace. Because the range of the spiritual surge was fixed around the palace, the gains outside were far less than those inside the palace, but these people were already extremely satisfied.

For them, this was completely a windfall from heaven. Their spiritual power increased by a notch for no reason, and the lucky ones even broke through their barriers and went further. But more people were genuinely shocked while being pleasantly surprised.

Since when did the Star Luo Empire have such a powerhouse?

To be honest, although Star Luo is the most powerful country among the original three Douluo countries in terms of comprehensive strength, it is not outstanding in the field of high-level soul masters. Except for the Medical Immortal Douluo and the Shattered Star Douluo, many people couldn't think of any other Super Douluo powerhouses belonging to Star Luo.

But now, this level of spiritual surge was clearly not a commotion that an ordinary Super Douluo could create, and the source of this fluctuation was still in the depths of the Star Luo Palace, which already represented many things. Everyone knew that a surge sweeping across the continent was about to spread. Many people had even begun to guess what kind of terrifying power the Star Luo Empire was hiding. Those who knew a little bit of the inside story began to speculate, and even placed their target of suspicion on the hall master of the Star Luo Shrine who had never appeared in front of the public.

It is rumored that although the hall master has never had a record of taking action, his strength is unfathomable. Therefore, he is also hailed by some as the number one person in the Star Luo soul master world.

Could it be that this person, who has been dormant for many years, has now successfully broken through to the Limit Douluo realm? In any case, with Star Luo City as the center, this storm would soon spread to the entire continent. The masters and powerhouses of countless forces would cast their eyes on Star Luo City because of this. This is an invisible deterrent, and at the same time, it is enough to shake the Star Luo country. It is expected that it won't be long before those who want to know something from Xu Jiawei will flock here...

But who would have thought that the culprit who caused such a commotion would be a young man who had just broken through to Soul Sage not long ago? I think, unless that person can predict the future, otherwise, unless the sky falls, no outsider would ever connect this matter to a "pretty boy" who is pampered by the princess...
