A quarter of an hour later, it wasn't Yan, who had taken the Phoenix Chicken Crown Sunflower first, who woke up, but Hu Liena, who had taken the Brocade Tulip last.
Her eyes opened, and she felt the surging spirit power within her body. She couldn't believe it.
Level twenty-nine, she had improved by a full seven levels of spirit power!
Her eyes trembling, Hu Liena covered her mouth, almost crying out loud.
Now, she finally had the qualification to catch up to Wang Zhong's pace.
Seeing Hu Liena's distressed expression, Wang Zhong walked over and asked worriedly, "Nana, what's wrong?"
Tears welling up in her eyes, Hu Liena threw herself into Wang Zhong's arms and whispered softly, "Zhong, I think I can finally see your back!"
In response, Wang Zhong held her tightly and said gently, "Nana, you're the best!"
"I'll always be by your side!"
Glancing at Xie Yue and Yan, who were still meditating, Wang Zhong took Hu Liena's hand and walked out, smiling lightly, "Nana, you only noticed the change in your own spirit power, didn't you realize your martial soul has also changed!"
"My martial soul?"
In her confusion, Hu Liena released her demon fox. To her surprise, the cute pink fox now had nine long and fluffy fox tails swaying behind it.
"Nine tails! Zhong, my martial soul, it, it... with..."
Hu Liena stopped herself before she could finish. Wang Zhong's twin martial souls were a secret that couldn't be revealed. Ying Yan Yang had also privately discussed with her the consequences of revealing this to outsiders.
"Mm, Nana, it's the same as mine!"
Wang Zhong gently nuzzled her forehead with his, his calm jade-green eyes filled with gentleness and a smile.
Martial souls of the same type appearing in people of different bloodlines was an unprecedented miracle on the Douluo Continent, and also a unique form of destiny.
Nine-tailed foxes were no longer lonely!
Wrapping her arms around Wang Zhong's neck, Hu Liena rested her chin on his shoulder, not speaking, just quietly enjoying the peace and closeness of the moment.
It wasn't until Xie Yue's extremely excited shout came from the room that the two slowly separated, exchanged a smile, and walked back inside.
"Level six, a full six levels! My spirit power has increased by a full six levels!"
"And my Moon Blade martial soul has become even harder and sharper! This is simply a miracle!"
Beside him, Yan, who had returned to the room and changed his upper garment, walked out and said disdainfully, "What's so exciting about that? Although I don't know how much my spirit power has increased."
"But watch this, my martial soul has evolved!"
As soon as Yan finished speaking, his transformed Flame Lord, with its flaming armor and a long flaming sword, appeared. A scorching aura rushed towards Xie Yue.
With a casual swipe of his Moon Blade, Xie Yue cut through the aura and immediately jumped forward, pressing his forehead against Yan's, displeased, "So you've gotten stronger, want to spar?"
Xie Yue and Yan were only one level apart in spirit power, and sparring was common for them. However, Xie Yue had always had the upper hand, due to the Xie family's ancestral knife technique, which was truly bizarre and powerful.
Now, because of the Phoenix Chicken Crown Sunflower given by Wang Zhong, Yan's martial soul had evolved. His spirit power had broken through level twenty, but since he didn't have a spirit ring, he didn't know how many levels he had gained, but it was definitely not less than Xie Yue's.
With improvements on both fronts, Yan believed he was now no weaker than Xie Yue and was eager to spar with him to get a feel for his current strength.
"Wait a minute, what are your current strengths!"
Hu Liena stopped the two who were about to go outside for a good fight and asked.
"I'm level twenty-seven now," Xie Yue said smugly, then winked at Wang Zhong and gave him a thumbs-up, his expression clearly saying, 'Thank you for the immortal herb!'
"I've broken through level twenty, and I'm not sure exactly how many levels I've gained yet. I'll only know after Teacher Ying takes me to obtain my second spirit ring."
Yan also replied to Hu Liena's question with a joyful expression, then walked up to Wang Zhong and gave him a fierce bear hug.
"Thank you!"
His tone was sincere and heartfelt.
In response, Wang Zhong simply rested his hands behind his head, smiling at the two, and said casually, "We've all grown up together since childhood. There's no need for all this thanking."
"Let's work hard together! We must go the furthest and become the strongest on the path of a spirit master!"
Wang Zhong clenched his fist in one hand and raised it high, his tone full of confidence and pride.
"Okay!" Yan responded.
"Whoo!" Xie Yue let out a strange cry.
"Mm, we definitely will!" Hu Liena's tone was firm.
The four of them were all the same age. Excluding Wang Zhong, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan were only eight years old, and they had already achieved such strength. Their talent could be described as breathtaking.
When they grew up, the entire continent would tremble because of their existence!
"Right, Yan, Nana, your martial souls have both changed. You need to tell Teacher Ying about this, otherwise, if he lacks this information, it will have a significant impact on your future development plans," Wang Zhong suddenly remembered something and quickly reminded the three小伙伴 before him, telling them not to overlook this matter.
"That's right! And Yan has broken through now, so he can go and get his second spirit ring."
"Why don't we go now!" Xie Yue clapped his hands and suggested. Wang Zhong's reminder was indeed reasonable. Their spirit ring acquisition and planning were all handled by Ying Yan Yang. Such a change in their martial souls couldn't be taken lightly.
"I don't think that's a good idea!"
"Yan's spirit power was an additional boost due to the immortal herb. Perhaps it would be better for him to consolidate his strength before seeing Teacher Ying."
"And it's not just Yan, but also me and you, Brother, we all need to consolidate, right!"
Hu Liena pondered for a moment and offered her opinion.
"That's alright, Nana. The immortal herbs I gave you are all very gentle in their medicinal properties. Their role is to strengthen the foundation, not damage it, and instead, it will enhance it," Wang Zhong explained with a smile.
"I also don't think that's a good idea!" Yan scratched his fiery red hair and explained to Xie Yue, "Wang Zhong just got back, shouldn't we have a proper welcome celebration."
"As for the martial soul evolution and spirit ring acquisition, it won't matter if we tell Teacher Ying in a couple of days. There's no need to go right now!"
Xie Yue and Hu Liena's eyes lit up at this suggestion simultaneously.
Welcome celebration! That's right, they hadn't gathered together for a long time. Wasn't this worth celebrating?
Plus, now that the strength of all three had improved by leaps and bounds, wasn't this worth celebrating!
"Alright, I agree with this idea!" Xie Yue immediately raised both hands in agreement.
"This is a good idea!"
"And, I miss eating the food you make, Zhong!" Hu Liena also nodded in agreement.
"Me too."
"I also want to eat what Wang Zhong makes," Xie Yue and Yan said one after another.
Wang Zhong could only shrug in acknowledgment of the three's thoughts.
"Alright then! I'll cook today."
"I'll help chop firewood!"
"I'll help light the fire!"
"Then I'll be responsible for washing the vegetables."
The apartment suddenly became busy, and cheerful laughter and happy sounds emanated from within.
