Chapter 1545: Beat Up the Little Demon Girl! Eroding Heart Mark!

"Hmph, this guy broke through?"

Inside his consciousness sea, watching the wildly expanding ocean of spiritual power, the demon little girl was slightly surprised:

"Why is the commotion so extreme? If he breaks through like this, his spiritual power strength must have more than doubled."

But to her, it still had no effect.

As long as he hadn't broken through to the Dominator Realm, he could never destroy her.

After several minutes, the transformation brought by the breakthrough in the Spirit Refining Art gradually subsided.

Xu Jingming immediately turned to his system panel.

【Spirit】: 400 million Hz (+)

"My spiritual power surged by five trillion!"

Xu Jingming sucked in a sharp breath.

His original spiritual power was only four trillion—this had more than doubled!

"No wonder it's a T0-level Spirit Refining Art. The enhancement from this breakthrough is insane."

With such powerful spiritual power, paired with the perfected "Soul Bond Seal,"

enslaving the demon little girl's residual soul should be no problem.

Thinking of this, Xu Jingming sank his spirit back into his consciousness sea.

Inside the silver screen, the demon little girl was listlessly counting her own hairs.

Seeing Xu Jingming appear,

her large purple eyes lit up, but she quickly feigned indifference:

"So? Finally decided to come see your Majesty?"

"Have you come to your senses? Are you going to let me out?"

Xu Jingming said nothing, only silently watching her.

"Hey, say something!"

The demon little girl grew uneasy under his gaze and pouted:

"If you've changed your mind, let me out quickly.

I might consider taking you as a nominal disciple and teaching you a few real skills..."

Before she finished speaking, Xu Jingming suddenly moved.

Vast spiritual power surged forth like a tidal wave, coalescing in his consciousness sea into a mysterious, intricate golden rune!

The rune was formed from countless fine spiritual threads, radiating an ancient, majestic, and unyielding aura!

It was the core of the "Soul Bond Seal"—the Soul Mark!

"Go!"

Xu Jingming muttered sharply.

The golden Soul Mark shot forward like a streak of light, hurtling toward the demon little girl!

"Huh? Soul enslavement?"

The demon little girl froze for a moment, then a flicker of mockery flashed in her purple eyes.

Instead of dodging, she stepped forward willingly, letting the golden Soul Mark sink into her forehead.

Hum—!

As the Soul Mark entered her body, Jin Guang blazed fiercely!

But it lasted less than half a second before shattering like bubbles and vanishing.

The demon little girl clapped her hands, as if brushing off dust.

She lifted her head and looked at Xu Jingming.

Her small fang on the left corner of her mouth showed, her smile brimming with mockery:

"That's it?"

"A T2-level soul enslavement technique? You think you can control me?"

"Hahahaha! That's hilarious!"

She laughed uncontrollably, her purple hair trembling with each chuckle:

"Do you know, when I was playing with souls back then, your ancestors hadn't even been born yet!"

"This low-grade trash can't even make me itch!"

Xu Jingming's face darkened.

He had anticipated that enslaving a Dominator Realm residual soul wouldn't be easy.

But he never imagined she'd dismantle the "Soul Bond Seal" so effortlessly!

"What? Unhappy?"

The demon little girl planted her hands on her hips, tilting her small face up triumphantly:

"Don't flatter yourself—I'm not boasting, but with your level of spiritual power, even after a million years of training, you'll never enslave me!"

Xu Jingming's gaze grew colder.

For the past month, he'd endured her mocking every day—his anger had been building.

Now that his much-anticipated "Soul Bond Seal" had failed, his fury surged.

"Silent? Are you helpless? I'm asking you—are you helpless?"

Seeing Xu Jingming's silence, the demon little girl grew even more arrogant:

"Let me tell you, to enslave me, you'll need to reach the Dominator Realm first.

You, this T2-level trash, keep training..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xu Jingming suddenly moved!

Swish—!

Xu Jingming's vast spiritual force condensed to normal size, then seized the demon little girl!

"You... what?!"

The demon little girl froze for a moment, then struggled violently:

"Let go of me! If you've got guts, let me go—we'll settle this face to face!"

Xu Jingming ignored her shouting entirely.

He pinned her across his knee and raised his other hand high.

Slap!

The crisp sound echoed through the spiritual sea.

The demon little girl stiffened all over.

She turned her head in disbelief, her purple eyes wide as saucers:

"You... you hit my butt?!"

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Xu Jingming's expression remained blank as he delivered three more strikes.

"Ahh—!!!"

The demon little girl finally reacted, letting out a shriek of utter humiliation and rage:

"Bastard! Let me go! I'll kill you! I swear I'll kill you!"

She thrashed wildly, but was suppressed by the Ice Heart Crown.

Her spirit body was tightly bound by Xu Jingming's surging spiritual force, leaving her utterly motionless.

Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!

Xu Jingming didn't stop, striking her over a dozen times before finally halting.

"Phew, that felt good!"

The long-suppressed fury released, leaving Xu Jingming feeling refreshingly light and clear-headed.

I have to say, this little loli feels pretty nice to the touch, full of elasticity.

Feeling Xu Jingming's hand loosen its grip,

the demon little girl leapt up immediately, clutching her rear and retreating several steps.

Her adorable little face was flushed with shame and fury.

Tears glistened in her purple eyes, and the tiny fang at the corner of her mouth had vanished.

"You... you..."

She pointed at Xu Jingming, too furious to speak.

She was, after all, a Sovereign-tier powerhouse.

Even reduced to a mere wisp of residual soul, she had never been humiliated like this!

Xu Jingming gazed at her coldly:

"Say another word, and I'll keep hitting."

The demon little girl shuddered, instinctively covering her rear.

She bit her lip, her purple eyes brimming with grievance and resentment.

But in the end, she dared not provoke him again.

Yet soon, her eyes rolled sideways, and a purple spiritual barrier suddenly formed around her spirit body.

She immediately resumed her former arrogant demeanor:

"Hmph! Little trash, try again then!"

"Hm? Already itching for more?"

Xu Jingming raised his sword-like brows and reached for her again.

But this time, the thin purple spiritual barrier surrounding the little girl flared brightly.

His hand struck the barrier's surface and was repelled by an invisible, supple force—unable to grasp her spirit body at all!

"Hehe! Can't catch me~ Frustrated?"

The little girl grinned, her eyes crinkling into crescents, her heart-shaped tail wagging merrily behind her:

"I was just careless before.

Now... with your pathetic little spiritual force, you think you can even touch me?"

She floated within the silver light barrier, hands on her hips.

Her tiny body held straight and proud, her tone growing even more insolent:

"What are you staring at? Trash is trash!

Even if you trap me, you'll never catch me again!

Na-na-na~~~! What can you do to me?"

Watching her insolent, face-making antics,

Xu Jingming could hardly believe this was once a Sovereign-tier powerhouse.

"Your pathetic little soulcraft is as childish as a toddler playing with mud!"

The little girl shook her head, her purple hair flying.

Suddenly, her eyes darted sideways, a glint of cunning flashing in her purple gaze:

"Hey, little trash, aren't you after the Soul Domination Technique?"

After all that, it's just a T2-level spell?

Tsk tsk, how pitiful~"

The little girl pouted, wearing an expression of "You really have no idea":

"A T2-level spell dares to call itself a Domination technique? It can only control cats and dogs!"

She paused, then suddenly flashed a wicked smile:

"But then again……

Seeing you so desperately searching around…

I, the Sovereign, will today show mercy and grant you a true Domination technique!"

No sooner had she spoken than she extended a slender index finger and lightly tapped the air before her.

Hum—

A highly condensed purple mental force surged forth.

It shot from her fingertip, piercing through the silver light barrier.

The Iceheart Crown did not block pure knowledge transmission.

This mental force plunged straight into Xu Jingming's consciousness!

In an instant, a flood of information exploded within Xu Jingming's mind!

【Corrupted Soul Mark (T0-level): Concentrate mental force into a unique pattern and implant it; you may control the life and death of the implanted, and sense their approximate location and basic emotions.】

"This is a T0-level Soul Domination technique.

If you truly master it, you might even be able to enslave me~~"

The succubus little girl giggled.

The Corrupted Soul Mark could indeed enslave her.

But she would never bind herself.

Because this Domination technique could only be practiced by the Succubus race.

How could a mere human possibly learn it?

As for why she gave it to him,

It was simply because she wanted to see how furious this human would become upon obtaining this precious T0-level Domination technique—yet being unable to master it.

It would be hilarious!
