Chapter 188: Nine Tests of Life, Second Martial Soul?
Lower Realm, Douluo Continent.
It was already evening.
In Spirit City, behind the The Pope's Palace, at Qian Xunji's residence, the main hall was brightly lit.
A long table in the center of the hall was laden with a sumptuous feast.
Qian Xunji's family of three and Qian Daoliu were already seated.
However, Qian Renxue could not sit still. She gazed longingly at the entrance, wiggling in her chair, looking impatient.
Suddenly, five figures appeared at the entrance.
"Brother Su Mo!"
Qian Renxue immediately leaped from her seat and dashed toward the door on her little legs.
She threw herself in front of Su Mo, looked up with her little face, grabbed his hands tightly, and her eyes were full of joy.
"Little Xue'er has grown up; you are becoming more and more beautiful and cute." Su Mo gently patted her little head.
Now, Qian Renxue was almost six years old. She had grown quite a bit, and her golden hair, which used to reach her ears, had grown past her shoulders. Her little face was becoming increasingly exquisite and cute, faintly showing the prototype of her future stunning beauty.
"Xue'er, did you miss big sister?" Bibi Dong smiled as she leaned in and gently flicked her nose.
"Sister Dong'er, of course Xue'er missed you. You've been gone for so long."
Qian Renxue then turned her head to look at Ah Yin and Ye Qingshuang, calling out sweetly: "And Sister Ah Yin, Sister Ye, Xue'er missed you too!"
After greeting them, her gaze fell upon the unfamiliar Bo Saixi. She blinked, tilted her head, and sized her up with curiosity.
"Her name is Bo Saixi. From now on, you should call her Sister Xi Xi," Su Mo introduced.
"Sister Xi Xi!" Qian Renxue called out obediently.
Bo Saixi leaned down slightly and smiled, "What a good girl, Xue'er."
As she spoke, she took out a delicate piece of jewelry from her spirit tool. It was strung with lustrous, plump pearls, all originating from Sea God Island.
"This is a gift for our first meeting."
"Wow! It's so pretty!" Qian Renxue's eyes lit up. She took the jewelry with both hands and said, "Thank you, Sister Xi Xi."
"Alright, you lot, stop standing at the door." Qian Xunji's voice came from inside the hall, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness, "The food is about to get cold."
"Let's go." Su Mo held Qian Renxue's hand and led the women to the dining table.
"Grandpa Qian, Teacher, Teacher's Wife." Su Mo greeted them one by one.
"Su Mo, today is just a family banquet, no need for formalities. Sit down quickly." Qian Daoliu waved his hand, his usually stern face revealing a rare hint of a kind smile.
The group quickly took their seats.
"Xi Xi, this is the High Priest of the Spirit Hall, and also my teacher's father," Su Mo introduced.
"High Priest." Bo Saixi smiled faintly and bowed slightly.
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly, his gaze lingering on Bo Saixi for a moment. He had already learned of Bo Saixi's identity and Realm from Qian Xunji.
However, he had to admit, this kid Su Mo was truly blessed with good fortune. Even he himself was stunned by Bo Saixi's temperament and beauty at this moment. But that was all. After all, she was Su Mo's girlfriend, and as an elder, he naturally wouldn't have any other thoughts.
Soon, amidst the clinking of glasses, Qian Renxue sat beside Su Mo, chattering away. Su Mo teased her from time to time, making the little girl giggle. The overall atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
However, at this moment, Su Mo's expression suddenly stiffened.
"Brother Su Mo, what's wrong?" Qian Renxue was the first to notice the abnormality. She tugged on Su Mo's sleeve, looked up with her little face, and asked confusedly.
The others also stopped their actions and looked at the suddenly distracted Su Mo. However, they saw Su Mo gently raise his hand to signal that it was nothing. His eyes drooped slightly, as if he were listening intently to something. Seeing this, the crowd did not disturb him and just watched quietly.
At this moment, a voice rang out in Su Mo's mind: "Su Mo, I am the God King of Destruction, one of the five great God Kings of the God Realm. Are you willing to inherit both my God Position and Shura's?"
God King of Destruction?! Su Mo's heart skipped a beat. Even with his Heart-Nature, he couldn't help but be deeply shaken at this moment.
But Su Mo quickly suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart and replied in his mental sea: "Lord Destruction, this junior is naturally willing, but... given my current situation, can I really inherit two God Positions at the same time?"
The voice of the God of Destruction sounded again: "When you slew the Deep Sea Demon Whale King earlier, did you obtain a pearl?"
"Yes," Su Mo replied immediately.
"Then it is feasible. That pearl is the condensation of that Soul Beast's Origin energy. I will infuse a trace of the Source of Destruction into your body. Afterward, swallow that whale pearl, and I will assist you in condensing a Second Martial Soul using the power of the whale pearl to carry the God Position of Destruction."
Hearing this, Su Mo was overjoyed. He had never thought he would have the chance to awaken a Second Martial Soul, let alone use it to carry the Legacy of a second God King!
By the way, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life are husband and wife. Since the God of Destruction personally sought him out, the Goddess of Life must also be looking for a successor. And the first person Su Mo thought of was Ye Qingshuang.
After her Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul evolved, her Source of Life was extremely vast, and her compatibility with the God Position of Life was extremely high.
Su Mo withdrew his thoughts and replied solemnly: "Thank you, Lord Destruction. This junior will definitely not fail your trust."
"I will wait for you to be prepared, then we shall begin condensing the Second Martial Soul."
"Yes."
Just as his consciousness withdrew from his mental sea, before Su Mo had time to explain to the others, a jade-green pillar of light descended from the dome, enveloping Ye Qingshuang.
The light was pure and gentle, containing a rich aura of life. As the light flowed, the entire hall was illuminated in a warm, emerald green. The potted plants in the corners of the hall grew wildly, sprouting several new branches in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, a small jade-green tree mark appeared on Ye Qingshuang's smooth, fair forehead, emitting a faint fluorescent glow.
Immediately after, a woman's voice rang out in her mind: "Ye Qingshuang, I am the Goddess of Life. I observe that your Heart-Nature is kind, and your Martial Soul contains an extremely rich power of life, which suits my will very well. I am now bestowing the Nine Tests of Life. If you can pass them all, you may inherit my God Position."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingshuang's pupils constricted slightly, and her body trembled involuntarily. Her heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and her breathing became a bit rapid. A Gods Trial of Life?! Following Su Mo and Bo Saixi, she had actually obtained a Gods Trial too?!
Ye Qingshuang hurriedly regained her composure and responded excitedly in her mind: "Thank you, Goddess of Life. I will definitely not fail your expectations!"
The Goddess of Life said: "Nine Tests of Life, the first test: heal one hundred severely injured people. The time limit is one year."
As the words fell, the jade-green pillar of light slowly dissipated. The mark on Ye Qingshuang's forehead also quietly faded under her skin, as if it had never appeared.
