Chapter 60 Obsession
Liu Erlong walked to the blood pool, turned her back, and sat cross-legged.
The enormous, ferocious martial spirit behind her was immersed in the blood pool.
Instantly, the thick blood in the pool boiled, seeping into the illusory form of the martial spirit.
"Roar!"
A painful howl resounded in Liu Erlong's mind.
The martial spirit is a tangible manifestation of the power fused from a soul master's bloodline and soul. It
can also be seen as another self of the soul master.
Now, Liu Erlong felt the excruciating pain of her martial spirit; she felt her blood burning, her bones being scorched, almost causing her to faint.
This pain and torment was simply unbearable for a half-crippled soul master like herself.
Just as her soul power became unstable, making it difficult to maintain the form of her martial spirit, causing the tangible martial spirit behind her to be on the verge of collapse,
she suddenly remembered the humiliation Chen Yao had inflicted on her in Martial Spirit City.
Instantly, Liu Erlong's face contorted into a ferocious expression, veins bulging on her forehead, and a bloodthirsty crimson flashing in her eyes.
She couldn't fail; she had to obtain this power, she had to repay Chen Yao a thousandfold for the humiliation she had suffered! Liu Erlong roared venomously in her heart, her previously clouded will becoming crystal clear once more. She gritted her teeth
, enduring the intense pain that was driving her almost insane! ... As time passed, the boiling energy flowed into her martial soul, and the blood plasma in the pool gradually decreased. Similarly, Liu Erlong's consciousness was slowly fading. At this moment, she had lost all basic cognitive abilities; her face was blank, and her eyes were dim. The only thing keeping her going, preventing her from fainting, was the obsession and resentment in her heart.
Whenever she felt she couldn't go on, she would force herself to recall those unbearable memories, desperately trying to remember every detail of Chen Yao's face!
Chen Yao!
Chen Yao!
During this time, Liu Erlong let out several low, indistinct roars mixed with saliva.
With each venomous roar, her hatred gradually rose, allowing her to persevere until this moment.
Finally, with the last drop of blood transforming into energy and flowing into her martial soul, a triumphant dragon roar suddenly rang out.
Intense dark red light began to emanate from the martial soul, enveloping it.
Within the light, the martial soul's form writhed continuously, seemingly undergoing some kind of transformation.
Liu Erlong, however, was already completely exhausted and had no energy left to pay attention to the transformation of her martial soul. Seeing that the ritual on the divine test was complete,
her mind relaxed, and unable to resist the exhaustion any longer, she collapsed to the ground with a thud, fainting.
Several
days later, Liu Erlong walked along the road outside the Star Dou Great Forest, occasionally sensing the soul power and martial soul within her body, a smile playing on her lips.
"Truly worthy of being a divine inheritance, it has completely restored my soul power, and even my martial soul..."
Just as these thoughts flashed through Liu Erlong's mind, a sudden commotion came from the forest beside her, followed by two sharp whooshing sounds.
A dangerous glint flashed across Liu Erlong's face.
Then, she lightly touched the ground with her toes, shifting her body laterally, easily dodging the sudden attack.
Standing steadily, Liu Erlong looked towards the forest where the commotion had originated. There, he saw two short, slovenly-dressed, shifty-eyed men emerge from the shadows on that side.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect to run into such a gem this time!"
"Not bad! I've never seen anything like this in all my years. Looks like we're in luck this time. After we're done, we'll take her back to the boss and the others."
"I agree, but I'll go first this time. I can't wait to taste her!"
"Why? You always went first last time!"
"Then... together? Anyway, I can't take it anymore. My little brother is about to explode. You're my brother, so he's your brother too. You won't just ignore him, will you?"
"...Fine, let's go together. Just be careful not to touch me, it's disgusting."
"Alright, alright, I know, stop being so fussy!"
The two men emerged from the forest and began spewing vulgarities. At the same time, their gazes swept back and forth across Liu Erlong's tall, slender figure with lust and greed.
However, Liu Erlong's face showed no change whatsoever, not even a hint of annoyance.
Having experienced so much, her personality was no longer as easily angered as before. There was no need to get angry over two dying people.
A cold glint flashed in her indifferent eyes, and then her hand instantly transformed into a dragon claw, dark red in color, filled with bloodthirsty and fierce intent.
A ball of dark red flame instantly condensed from the dragon claw and roared out.
"Not good, this is tough! Retreat!"
The overwhelming aura of destruction was like a bucket of icy water, extinguishing the fire in their hearts. Their faces changed drastically, they screamed in terror, and without the slightest hesitation, released their martial souls, ready to turn and flee!
But upon seeing their martial souls, a look of surprise flashed in Liu Erlong's eyes.
They were Crimson Blood Hounds and Bloodthirsty Black Mosquitoes.
These two types of soul beasts were recognized by soul masters as evil soul beasts, feeding on human blood and flesh to increase their soul power. News of these two soul beasts attacking human villages was common.
Some Soul Masters who awaken these Soul Beast Martial Souls also possess similar traits: a thirst for blood and a desire to kill, which they can use to increase their Soul Power. They
are despised and universally hated by Soul Masters.
Liu Erlong, however, never expected to encounter Soul Masters with these two types of Martial Souls.
But her surprise was fleeting. Seeing the two unleash speed far exceeding that of ordinary Great Soul Masters, a mocking smile played on her lips. Then, with a flash, she vanished from the spot, leaving behind a trail of dark red, bloody wind.
"Pfft!"
The next moment, the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out. The Crimson Bloodhound Martial Soul user, who had instantly run a hundred meters away, had his entire chest pierced by Liu Erlong's dragon claw!
The Bloodthirsty Black Mosquito Soul Master, whose speed was equal to hers, was terrified upon seeing this, collapsing to the ground, pale-faced.
Watching Liu Erlong toss the mangled corpse of the Crimson-Haired Dog Soul Master onto the ground as if it were trash, then slowly walk towards him with an indifferent
expression, the bloodthirsty Black Mosquito Soul Master, terrified, stammered,
"You...you mustn't kill me! If you kill me, my brothers will definitely avenge me!"
Hearing this, Liu Erlong's delicate eyebrows twitched, her raised claws paused, and then she slowly lowered them.
