Chapter 136 The Second Subordinate's Ghost Soul Core
A determination ignited in her eyes like a cold flame, dispelling the last trace of hesitation. Without further thought, Nana tilted her head back and popped the Yin-Yang Reversal Lotus Seed Pill into her mouth.
The pill didn't taste like medicine as she had imagined. Instead, it instantly transformed into a gentle yet incredibly powerful torrent of energy, like a bursting river of water, rushing into her limbs and bones!
"Ugh—!"
The intense pain and the strange, overwhelming comfort made her let out a suppressed groan.
She felt as if her meridians were being instantly expanded by a violent energy, only to be repaired by an even more miraculous life force in the next moment. Her soul power surged wildly at an unprecedented speed, and her internal organs, bones, and flesh were all undergoing a tremendous transformation.
Fine grime seeped from her body, impurities that had been forcibly expelled, yet her skin became even more radiant. Her eyes gleamed with a sharp light as they opened and closed, and her senses of sight, hearing, and smell—all her perceptions—became clearer than ever before.
She could almost hear the flow of soul energy particles in the air and see her own soul energy surging and roaring like liquid gold in her wider and stronger meridians.
An invisible bottleneck was easily broken through, then a second, then a third, and so on. The once unattainable realms were pierced one by one like tiny membranes.
Dai Youheng sensed that Nana absorbed the Lotus Seed Pill much better than Ling Ya, so he immediately sat down opposite her and spoke in a booming voice that struck Nana's mind directly, "Nana, listen, concentrate your mind, focus on your dantian, guide the flow of energy, and gather the essence into a core..."
"Nana, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, immediately did as she was told, and did her best to guide the surging soul power within her body."
Under Dai Youheng's guidance and with the assistance of external forces, the originally violent and unparalleled torrent of energy seemed to be tamed and guided by an invisible hand, and began to move along a mysterious trajectory, eventually converging madly towards the dantian below her lower abdomen.
Compress, and compress again! Coagulate, and coagulate again!
The intense pain was gradually replaced by a feeling of fullness and power.
She could clearly feel that a tiny energy vortex was forming in the center of her dantian, spinning rapidly and frantically absorbing the surging medicinal power and the primordial energy of heaven and earth.
The core of the vortex grew brighter and more stable, eventually seemingly crossing a critical point.
A buzzing sound, audible only to Nana, resounded from the depths of her soul! All the pain vanished instantly, replaced by an incomparably grounded and powerful sense of fulfillment.
Within her dantian, there was a dove-egg-sized, semi-transparent grayish-black object surrounded by a faint mist.
A strange crystal, constantly emitting faint soul fluctuations, has taken shape.
It floated there quietly, beating slowly like a heart. With each beat, it absorbed and released a massive amount of primordial energy from heaven and earth, transforming it into pure soul energy to nourish her entire body.
The Ghost Soul Core! This is a power core that perfectly matches her Ghost Martial Soul and can only be condensed by a Title Douluo!
Nana is indeed a genius. Lingya condensed his soul core after obtaining the ninth ring, but she directly used the power of the Lotus Seed Pill to condense her soul core while becoming stronger. When the soul core was formed, it absorbed a large amount of heaven and earth energy. She might be able to use this to slightly break the side effect of the Lotus Seed Pill's fixed level of ninety, and enter level ninety-one without the help of a soul bone.
This process lasted all night. When Nana opened her eyes again, the first light of dawn was already breaking outside the window. She subconsciously looked inward and was shocked to find that although her soul power level had been suppressed from level ninety due to the lack of a soul ring, and her performance had stagnated at the threshold of level sixty, she could clearly feel how vast and boundless the power contained within her body was!
Especially that mysterious soul core—it possessed a power she had never experienced before, a power so immense it seemed she could manipulate the forces of heaven and earth with a mere wave of her hand, far exceeding her previous understanding of Soul Emperors, or even Soul Saints. This was no illusion!
At the same time, an even more profound connection was established deep within her soul. She could clearly sense that an indelible mark had been imprinted on the very essence of her soul.
The source of this brand was none other than Dai Youheng, who was sitting quietly and meditating before her. A thought arose in her mind: if the other party wished, he could control her life and death, even her will, at any time.
This feeling of being controlled is unpleasant, but strangely, it doesn't contain the coldness, filth, or... characteristic of the Holy Spirit Church.
The tormenting malice was, in fact, a purer, more supreme power of domination. And compared to the power gained, compared to the hope of rescuing his parents, the price seemed acceptable.
Dai Youheng had finished regulating his breathing and was quietly watching her, as if he had already anticipated all her reactions. His gaze was very calm, waiting for her to slowly accept the truth.
"How are you feeling?" he asked casually.
Nana took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her heart. Without the slightest hesitation, she stood up, then knelt on one knee, her posture respectful and submissive, just like Ling Ya had been before.
"I feel better than ever before." Her voice was slightly hoarse from the surge of power and inner excitement, but more so from unwavering determination. "Thank you, Young Master, for granting me a new life!"
Dai Youheng nodded slightly, quite satisfied with her attitude. "Strength is just the foundation. Nana, go to the academy immediately and ask for leave with a suitable reason. Afterwards, Lingya and I will take you to the Demon Forest to hunt for spirit rings. Only by collecting all nine rings can you become a true Title Douluo."
"Yes, Young Master!" Nana bowed her head and accepted the order, her voice resolute. At this moment, nothing was more important than her studies or the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and obtaining the full power of a Title Douluo as soon as possible.
She stood up, a new flame burning in her eyes—a flame intertwined with hope and revenge.
She turned and left quickly, her steps light and filled with excitement. She knew that a completely different path was unfolding beneath her feet.
Nana's return to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy went exceptionally smoothly. Although she was a good student, in the Mingde Hall preparatory class, where geniuses gathered, she was not the indispensable, closely watched core gem.
She casually handed a leave slip to her mentor, explaining that she seemed to have encountered a bottleneck in her soul power cultivation recently, and was feeling restless, needing a period of quiet rest and adjustment. The mentor didn't suspect anything, simply giving a few routine instructions to return soon, and readily approved her application.
Nana quickly packed her necessary belongings and quietly left the academy's magnificent yet cold metal gates. Following the instructions left by Dai Youheng, she arrived at a secluded meeting place outside Mingdu City.
