...
Although Qian Renxue was exasperated by Xuan Hao's "steel straight man" behavior of "not doing anything productive in the middle of the night but insisting on dragging people to cultivate immortality," she knew what was important.
She quickly straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, regained her aloof and dignified demeanor, and summoned the Serpent Spear Douluo, who was hidden in the shadows of the Crown Prince's residence.
When Serpent Spear Douluo appeared silently in the secret room, his gaze subtly swept between Xuan Hao and his young master, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, but he knew better than to ask anything.
"For the next three days, I will be in seclusion with Xuanhao to cultivate.
No one is allowed to approach this secret chamber."
Qian Renxue ordered in a deep voice, "If anyone comes looking for the Crown Prince, whether they are members of the royal family or important officials of the court, they shall be turned away on the grounds that 'the Crown Prince has suddenly gained some enlightenment and is currently in seclusion to break through.'"
"Yes, young master!"
Serpent Spear Douluo respectfully accepted the order.
It's perfectly normal for a Soul Master to suddenly announce a period of seclusion when they sense a breakthrough opportunity.
Using this excuse to deal with the outside world is a flawless tactic.
After Serpent Spear Douluo withdrew and personally guarded the outside of the secret chamber, Xuan Hao and Qian Renxue sat cross-legged facing each other on the futon in the center of the chamber.
"Xue'er, your martial soul is a six-winged angel, and the soul power within you is the purest and most extreme sacred attribute."
Xuan Hao stared intently into Qian Renxue's eyes, his tone grave as he analyzed the implications:
"While this kind of extreme soul power is undeniably domineering and powerful, it can also become extremely volatile and dangerous during the process of highly compressing and condensing the soul core.
If you're not careful, that violent divine energy will explode directly within your meridians."
"Therefore, to ensure that everything goes smoothly, during the condensation process, I must personally use my spiritual power and soul power to probe into your body to help you guide and suppress this power."
Xuan Hao took a deep breath. "During this process, you must completely relax, both physically and mentally, and open all your defenses to me.
No matter where I guide your soul power to attack, you absolutely cannot have any instinctive resistance or opposition.
Can you do that?"
Upon hearing Xuan Hao's request, Qian Renxue's heart skipped a beat.
For a Soul Master, allowing another person's Soul Power to enter and take over their meridians and source power without any hindrance is tantamount to stripping themselves naked in front of the other person and handing over their life and fortune completely to the other person!
Aside from her own grandfather, even if it were the honored grandfathers in the Spirit Hall who had watched her grow up, Qian Renxue would never agree to such a suicidal request.
But... looking at the boy in front of her with clear eyes and a serious expression, Qian Renxue felt no sense of wariness or hesitation.
Even she herself found it unbelievable that in this world full of dangers, scheming, and betrayal, she would have such unreserved and absolute trust in a troublemaker who was always talking nonsense and acting recklessly, when it came to such a life-or-death matter.
"Okay, I believe you."
Qian Renxue took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, withdrew all the soul power defenses in her body, and completely surrendered herself to Xuan Hao.
"Come on."
Seeing Qian Renxue's decisiveness, Xuan Hao wasted no more time.
A stream of pure golden soul power flowed from his fingertips, gently yet firmly probing into Qian Renxue's body, carefully guiding her vast and turbulent divine soul power, compressing it wildly towards her dantian along a mysterious trajectory.
While Xuan Hao was focused on guiding Qian Renxue to condense her soul core, he was also undergoing a dramatic transformation within his own body!
However, the soul core that Xuan Hao wants to condense is fundamentally different from the soul cores of Qian Renxue and even the vast majority of soul masters in this world.
Others condense their soul cores to compress their soul power, increase their reserves, and improve their recovery speed.
However, the greatest purpose of his condensation of the soul core was to completely balance and fuse the two completely opposite yet equally domineering forces within his body—the power of the Golden Dragon King, representing ultimate strength and blood, and the power of the Silver Dragon King, representing ultimate elements and spirit!
A single soul core simply cannot bear these two extreme powers.
Therefore, what Xuan Hao wants to condense is a dual soul core that complements Yin and Yang!
To forcibly condense such a heaven-defying dual soul core at the level of a level 70 Soul Saint is as difficult as an ordinary person ascending to heaven.
With Xuan Hao's current foundation and control, he clearly does not possess such an ability.
However, the reason he dares to do this is naturally because he has the strongest backing!
Just as the gold and silver soul power within Xuan Hao's body was about to go berserk due to mutual repulsion.
"hold head high--!"
"roar--!"
Accompanied by two illusory yet powerful ancient dragon roars, two terrifying energies, one red and one blue, suddenly awakened from Xuan Hao's limbs and bones!
The Ice Dragon King's ultimate ice transformed into a chilling, yin-like power, while the Fire Dragon King's ultimate fire transformed into a raging, yang-like power.
These two divine powers erupted within Xuan Hao's body, precisely intervening in the conflict between the golden and silver dragons' powers.
With the powerful assistance and frenzied suppression of the two dragon kings, Ice and Fire, the originally chaotic soul power within Xuan Hao's body miraculously formed a perfect Tai Chi Yin-Yang vortex, beginning a difficult yet steady compression and transformation towards the legendary "Yin-Yang complementary dual soul core"...
Three days pass in the blink of an eye during intense, focused training.
Inside the secret chamber, Qian Renxue, who had been silent all along, finally slowly opened her eyes, which shone like stars.
Deep within her eyes, a pure, almost tangible golden divine light flashed and disappeared.
She subconsciously took a deep breath and was immediately surprised to notice the earth-shattering changes within her body!
Deep within her dantian, a solidified, miniature golden vortex had appeared unnoticed.
This thing, which Xuan Hao called the "soul core," was relentlessly and wildly spinning within her body along a mysterious trajectory.
Each rotation would exaggerate the secondary compression of her already domineering divine soul power, not only making the quality of the soul power purer, but also causing her soul power recovery speed to soar to an outrageous level!
Moreover, Qian Renxue keenly discovered that although her current soul power level did not directly increase due to the three days of seclusion, the total soul power stored in her dantian had increased significantly compared to before!
Don't underestimate this seemingly insignificant increase in reserves!
This expansion of basic reserves will increase exponentially as the soul power level increases!
When she breaks through to the Title Douluo level, or even reaches the level of a peerless Douluo at level ninety-nine, this extra "little bit" will become a vast ocean!
At the same level, her soul power reserves far exceed those of others of the same rank, and her recovery speed is extremely abnormal.
Combined with the domineering and unparalleled holy attribute purification ability of the six-winged angel... once a war of attrition begins, her advantage will be overwhelming!
