After a long while, the body of the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King completely faded away, its life energy and cultivation all sacrificed to Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong's Soul Power fluctuations also stabilized, with nine Spirit Rings rhythmically pulsing around her body. The Ninth Soul Ring was a deep crimson, appearing exceptionally dazzling.
She stared blankly at her Spirit Rings, giggling foolishly for quite some time.
She was already a Titled Douluo, and had even broken through to level 93. It was simply astonishing.
"Rongrong, what is your Ninth Soul Skill?" Dugu Feng asked.
Reminded by Dugu Feng, Ning Rongrong snapped out of her daze and immediately sensed the abilities of her Spirit Ring.
Upon sensing it, she was so shocked that her mouth hung open.
"Brother Feng, my Ninth Soul Skill is called Nine Treasure Invincible Divine Light. It grants three seconds of invincibility!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed in amazement.
"Three seconds?" Dugu Feng was somewhat surprised. Originally, this skill only lasted one second.
"Yes, three seconds. While in the invincible state, it can block any attack below the Divine Level. It can defend oneself or others. It can be used ten times within twenty-four hours!"
Ning Rongrong explained in detail.
This skill was truly divine. Ning Rongrong didn't know how to describe it.
It was truly the ultimate support skill.
Dugu Feng thought to himself, absorbing a 300,000-year Spirit Beast indeed brought a different Soul Skill. The difference between one second of invincibility and three seconds was immense.
"Excellent, Rongrong. With this Soul Skill, it'll be hard to die even in major battles from now on!" Dugu Feng teased.
Ning Rongrong raised an eyebrow, delighted. "That's all thanks to you, Brother Feng. It's the powerful Soul Skill brought by the 300,000-year Spirit Beast!"
As she spoke, Ning Rongrong leaned into Dugu Feng's embrace, her heart filled with joy.
Dugu Feng was also very happy. The stronger Ning Rongrong's enhancement abilities were before he ascended to Godhood, the safer he would be.
With his current strength in controlling the Asura Demon Sword, combined with Ning Rongrong's enhancements, there should be no one who could match him, right?
However, the most important thing was still ascending to Godhood. First, he needed to create a time conflict proving his absence in Heaven Dou City, and then he would fully focus on merging with the Asura Demon Sword.
"Brother Feng, it's all my fault for absorbing the Spirit Ring. I didn't have time to watch the auction. See if there's anything you like, and I'll buy it for you!" Ning Rongrong said generously.
"Oh, right, Brother Feng, there's a mutated Catwoman being auctioned here, very popular among nobles.
If you like her, I can buy her for you too!" Ning Rongrong blinked, her tone suggestive.
"Pfft!"
Dugu Feng coughed and slapped Ning Rongrong's head. "We don't even have time for cultivation. How can we waste it on women?
Later, I'll tell Brother Xue to ban slave trading!"
Ning Rongrong giggled sweetly. "I knew Brother Feng wouldn't be tempted by such things!"
Dugu Feng shook his head and began seriously appreciating the various auction items.
Soon, a Soul Tool came up for auction. At Dugu Feng's signal, Ning Rongrong bid for it.
As for the other auction items, although they were precious, none could capture Dugu Feng's interest.
The two watched for a while before swaggering out of the auction house.
Then, they went to the Great Soul Arena to watch Soul Duels. They leisurely spent two days before parting ways.
Dugu Feng did not return to Dugu Mansion, but instead went to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.
The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was no longer located outside the city as it once was.
To concentrate their forces against the Spirit Hall and the hidden Evil Soul Masters, most of the teachers and senior students of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy had been relocated to its branch within Heaven Dou City.
Upon arriving, Dugu Feng directly entered a small courtyard. He made no attempt to conceal his movements, instantly alerting the courtyard's owner.
Ye Lingling, her face veiled by a layer of black gauze, stepped out. Seeing Dugu Feng, she was overjoyed.
Ye Lingling was now a teacher at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.
"Senior, I came to see you!"
"Ah, you're alright? That's wonderful!" Ye Lingling pulled Dugu Feng back into the house, speaking with some concern.
"Why would anything be wrong with me?"
"Everyone is saying Tang Chen is about to become the Asura God. Doesn't that mean the opportunity you gained in Slaughter City is now useless?
The day before yesterday, I went to Dugu Mansion looking for you. Old Snake told me you had gone out to clear your mind.
Godhood Inheritance cannot be forced. At most, once I ascend to Godhood, I'll find a Godhood for you!"
Ye Lingling spoke half-jokingly, half to comfort Dugu Feng.
Dugu Feng thought to himself that Old Snake was quite the character, having come up with such a fitting excuse.
However, Ye Lingling's concern moved Dugu Feng even more. He said, "Senior, don't worry. Regarding Godhood Inheritance, I have my own plans.
I won't be disheartened by such a minor setback.
But you, senior, seem so confident about ascending to Godhood?"
He pulled Ye Lingling over, making her sit on his lap, and kissed her cheek.
Ye Lingling's eyes brimmed with confidence. "I've already reached level 85. Cultivating Soul Power feels as natural as water flowing in its course, without any bottlenecks.
Moreover, the more I cultivate my Martial Soul, the Saint Heart Twin Begonia, the more I sense a sacred aura. This time, I am certain I can break the shackles of my bloodline by my own strength!"
Her bloodline was undoubtedly a Deity Bloodline.
As long as she shattered the constraints of her Bloodline Power, ascending to Godhood would be a matter of course.
The more Ye Lingling cultivated, the more confident she became.
As soon as Dugu Feng saw Ye Lingling, he had noticed her Soul Power Level. Her cultivation speed was indeed remarkable.
Consider Ning Rongrong, who had been exploiting advantages on Poseidon Island. If Dugu Feng hadn't gifted her the Sacrifice of the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, she would still be stuck at level 89, needing more time to cultivate.
Yet Ye Lingling was already at level 85, almost as if she had her own advantages.
"A sacred aura... So, your Martial Soul has likely returned to the state of a God-tier martial soul. Only a God-tier martial soul could allow you to cultivate this quickly!" Dugu Feng remarked.
Ye Lingling was somewhat surprised. "What is a God-tier martial soul?"
"God-tier martial souls are divided into two types. One is the God-tier martial soul inherited through bloodline. Currently, the only known example is the Six-Winged Angel Spirit of the former Pope of the Spirit Hall.
The Qian family are descendants of the Angel God. Their Martial Soul is God-tier from birth, and their cultivation speed is unmatched by other Soul Masters.
The other type is the God-Granted Martial Soul, personally bestowed by a Deity. The known example is Poseidon, the High Priest of Poseidon Island, who possesses the Sea God Martial Soul.
Yours should be the first type—a God-tier martial soul inherited from Deity descendants!
Of course, cultivating a God-tier martial soul would have no bottlenecks."
Listening to Dugu Feng's explanation, Ye Lingling was inwardly astonished. "The Six-Winged Angel Spirit... So, does that mean the Qian family of the Spirit Hall also has Soul Masters who can ascend to Godhood?"
Ye Lingling felt that as her cultivation increased and she learned more and more, her mind was actually becoming insufficient. In the past, gods seemed unreachable, but now it seemed like anyone could ascend to godhood.
"The Qian family has always guarded the Angel God Hall, preparing for their clansmen to ascend to godhood.
As long as a clansman can gain the approval of the Angel God and initiate the Angel God Trials, they can indeed ascend to godhood very quickly. However, gaining the Angel God's approval is not that easy.
But never mind who ascends to godhood—as long as we can ascend to godhood in the future, that's all that matters!"
Dugu Feng laughed.
