After Duan Xin and Zi Ruyi condensed their Soul Cores, Yu Qing immersed himself in "deep communication" with his wives, but he did not forget his two disciples—Ling Xin and Ling Mou.
Yu Qing had always seen the talent and hard work of these twin sisters. They Cultivated day and night without slacking, building an extremely solid Foundation. Having already reached the Rank 30 Bottleneck, they only needed a suitable spirit ring to Breakthrough.
A few days later, Yu Qing temporarily left his "gentle land" and personally took Ling Xin and Ling Mou back into the Sunset Forest. Relying on his powerful spiritual perception, he easily found two top-tier Spirit Beasts for the girls, each with a cultivation of over six thousand years and attributes that perfectly matched their Spirits.
The absorption process was exceptionally smooth. With Yu Qing acting as their Protector and the large amount of rare Medicinal Cuisine they had consumed previously, the sisters successfully absorbed the spirit rings. Their spirit power broke through to Rank 35 in one go, and their strength underwent a qualitative leap!
Before, with their solid Foundation and the Cultivation Technique skills Yu Qing taught them, they might have been able to contend with or even tie against a low-level Spirit Ancestor. But now, their strength had skyrocketed! Even if a high-level Spirit Ancestor came, they wouldn't last a few rounds against them! They were true masters of fighting above their Rank.
Elder sister Ling Xin, her three spirit rings were all of the poison attribute. Furthermore, because she had spent years Cultivating while soaking in a special poisonous medicinal bath prepared by Yu Qing, her body had long developed an extremely strong resistance and even affinity for various toxins. The poison she deployed was fierce, tricky, and unpredictable. Even Dugu Bo, a grand expert in poisons, couldn't help but marvel when he saw it, once half-jokingly saying, "I'm afraid the title of 'Poison Douluo' will have to be handed over to this girl Ling Xin in the future! The younger generation is truly formidable!"
Younger sister Ling Mou, her three spirit rings were all metal-attributed for increasing strength and defense. This made her attack power, explosive power, and defensive power far exceed those of Spirit Masters of the same type, reaching an extremely exaggerated level! If you called her development balanced, she was ridiculously outstanding in all three aspects; if you called her an extreme-stream fighter, she could comprehensively suppress those Spirit Masters who specialized in only one path! She was practically a "humanoid dragon."
To further hone their combat power and consolidate their skyrocketing cultivation, Yu Qing took the two girls to the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena again.
This time, the sisters' performance was stunning! As Spirit Elders, they took the initiative to challenge Spirit Ancestor level opponents! For several consecutive days, they won every single match! And they were all clean and decisive victories! In several matches, the opponents were crushed and defeated by the unpredictable poison or the peerless, violent strength before they could even touch the sisters' clothes!
Such fierce battle records caused an immediate sensation throughout the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena. Their Spirit Fight Badge Rank soared like a rocket, directly reaching the highest Gold Spirit Fight Rank!
Obtaining a Gold Spirit Fight Badge with a Spirit Elder cultivation! This was an unprecedented first in the history of the entire continent!
Countless Families, nobles, and Sect forces swarmed like sharks smelling blood, throwing out extremely generous olive branches to the sisters in an attempt to recruit them.
But all temptations were rejected by Ling Xin and Ling Mou without hesitation or compromise. They had only one belief in their hearts—to follow their master and serve the Yin Yang Sect!
Of course, some forces, seeing that soft methods didn't work, wanted to use dark means, even attempting to kidnap them by force.
But these blind fools, without exception, all disappeared silently.
Even the forces behind them would receive a "kind greeting" from the Yin Yang Sect the next day (usually a politely worded warning letter carrying cold killing intent, along with the mysterious disappearance of a key figure). After a few times, no one dared to target this "top-tier sister pair" again.
And the mystery and power of the Yin Yang Sect quietly spread through the upper circles of Heaven Dou City through these incidents, inspiring dread.
Time passed like water. In the blink of an eye, half a month had gone by, and the continent entered the final month of the year. A unique year-end atmosphere began to permeate the air.
On this day, Duan Xin and Zi Ruyi had completely adapted to the power of their Soul Cores, their Foundations were stable, and their states were adjusted to the optimum. Yu Qing no longer delayed and took the two women out of the Sunset Forest to find suitable Spirit Beasts for them, preparing for the epoch-making Soul Spirit contract!
However, shortly after Yu Qing left... two slender figures quietly slipped out of the Sunset Forest. It was A Rou and Fox Consort.
"Hey, Rabbit," Fox Consort asked in a low voice while surveying the surroundings, "Are you sure... we can really take down that blade of grass?"
A Rou puffed out her chest with confidence, her pink eyes flashing with determination: "Don't worry! I am now a Rank 96 Super Douluo! With three hundred thousand year spirit rings! Can't I handle a blade of grass?"
Fox Consort rolled her charming eyes: "Strength is one thing, finding it is another. Do you know where she is now?"
"Well..." A Rou smiled craftily, leaned close to Fox Consort's ear, and lowered her voice: "I saw her once before. I remember a human Spirit Douluo following her, and that Spirit Douluo's Spirit was quite special—a large, pitch-black hammer. I later asked that Old Poison, Dugu Bo, and he said... it seemed to be the world's number one Tool Spirit—the Clear Sky Hammer!"
"Clear Sky Hammer?" Fox Consort's purple fox eyes lit up slightly.
"Exactly!" A Rou continued her analysis, "I also learned from Old Poison that the most famous Clear Sky Hammer Spirit Master on the continent right now seems to be a guy named Tang Hao. As long as we carefully track his movements and follow the clues, it shouldn't be hard to find that blade of grass!"
After listening, Fox Consort couldn't help but look A Rou over carefully, a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Tsk tsk... I didn't expect you, silly rabbit, to actually have a brain occasionally! Your analysis is quite logical!"
"Hmph! What do you mean 'occasionally'? What do you mean'silly rabbit'?" A Rou pouted in dissatisfaction, "I've always been very smart, okay!"
"Yes, yes, yes~" Fox Consort waved her hand dismissively, then her expression turned serious as she asked: "But... I still don't quite understand. Why are you so... obsessed with helping husband find 'new sisters'? You're almost... possessed by the idea."
Hearing this, the playful look on A Rou's face gradually faded. She remained silent for a moment, a flash of complexity in her pink eyes, before slowly speaking: "I'm not possessed... I'm doing this... for ourselves, and for... all Spirit Beasts."
"For us? For Spirit Beasts?" Fox Consort was slightly stunned, her face showing confusion.
"Think about it," A Rou analyzed seriously. "Husband... he is destined for greatness. In the future, there will only be more and more outstanding women around him. Currently in the Sect, the only Spirit Beast in Human Forms who can be considered 'our own' are the two of us. We are weak in numbers! If we can pull in a few more powerful Spirit Beast sisters, we can support each other. Only then can we occupy a more important position in husband's heart and have more of a say in the future, right?"
Fox Consort nodded thoughtfully: "Hmm... that makes sense."
A Rou continued, her tone becoming even deeper: "More importantly... husband will very likely become a god in the future! Once he becomes a god, combined with the Soul Spirit Method he created... think about what that means for our Spirit Beast race?"
Fox Consort's pupils suddenly contracted, and her delicate body shook slightly. She instantly understood A Rou's deep meaning.
It meant... the expansion of living space, it meant... no longer needing to engage in endless bloody slaughter with human Spirit Masters, it meant... a brand new, hope-filled path of coexistence!
"So..." A Rou clenched her fist, her eyes burning with the light of conviction, "We must make every effort to help husband, which is also helping ourselves and the entire Spirit Beast race. Recruiting a Spirit Beast in Human Form like 'that blade of grass' is a crucial step."
"I understand!" Fox Consort nodded heavily, her charming fox eyes also bursting with firm radiance. "Alright! Rabbit, I'll fully cooperate with you this time. We must take down that blade of grass!"
The two women smiled at each other, a sense of mission "to strive for a great cause" welling up within them. They composed themselves, identified their direction, and then vanished into the dense forest with a flash, beginning their "great wall-digging... no, sister recruitment plan."
