228: Chapter 228 Loyal Senior Brother

Su Wen hesitated for a moment as he looked at those few Spirit Beasts.

He revealed his six great spirit rings.

When Hu Liena and Tian Yue saw the hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, they couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

Their eyes were bright, and their emotions of admiration and envy were completely undisguised.

Su Wen coughed and said, "First Soul Skill: Underworld Marriage!"

Silence!

The spirit ring did not rotate at all.

The surrounding scene did not change, and there wasn't even a ripple of Soul Power.

Hu Liena tilted her head slightly and asked in confusion, "Senior Brother?"

Tian Yue scratched her hair and looked around.

It was different from the expected scene.

"Boss, are you teasing us?"

Su Wen's expression also showed some shock; it actually hadn't activated successfully.

He thought for a moment and walked over to the Pink Lady Spirit Beast.

He attempted to activate the Spirit Ability on its corpse individually.

The spirit ring still did not rotate or light up.

Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes at this sight. "Could it be that the limit has already been reached?"

"I don't know!"

"I'll try again!"

Su Wen urged his Soul Power to increase the energy within the spirit ring.

Hum!

Gusts of eerie wind blew in as the Wedding Dress Ghost Emperor Martial Soul appeared before Su Wen.

The veil on its head swayed with the wind, revealing a peerless face beneath the phoenix crown.

When the Ghost Emperor Bride's red pupils met Su Wen's gaze,

Su Wen saw a hint of human-like resistance in her expression.

Hum!

The Ghost Emperor Bride's body gradually became transparent and then vanished into the surroundings.

The surrounding temperature returned to normal at that moment.

The eerie wind ceased.

As the Spirit returned, a fragment of memory was added to Su Wen's mind.

"Xiao Wen, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing. It's not that the limit was reached, but that it's not allowed!"

"Besides the one-meter distance, there's another rule for the Spirit Ability's activation: it needs the Ghost Emperor Bride's approval. Otherwise, the Underworld Marriage conditions aren't met. As for how to get that approval, I don't know!"

Su Wen looked at the corpses of these Spirit Beasts and said with certainty, "They don't qualify. At least in terms of Bloodline, they are the first batch to be eliminated..."

Bibi Dong wasn't surprised by this.

If there really were no limit on quantity,

this Spirit Ability would be truly terrifying.

It was just as expected,

except for the additional requirement of the Spirit's approval.

Bibi Dong's beautiful willow-like brows suddenly twitched.

Why did it feel like a concubine needing the main wife's nod to be promoted?

The first batch eliminated? It even had the visual of a palace beauty pageant!

"That's great!"

Hu Liena was somewhat excited and blurted out her true thoughts.

She didn't want more and more women surrounding her Senior Brother at all.

Seeing everyone suddenly look at her, Hu Liena coughed awkwardly.

"I mean, that's great. According to this theory, there might not be a limit. Senior Brother is so powerful that surely only those with good Aptitude are qualified to stand by his side."

"Little flatterer!" Tian Yue rolled her eyes at her speechlessly.

After leaving the Supreme Pontiff Palace,

the four girls dragged Su Wen along, insisting on a meal to celebrate.

They couldn't get enough of seeing that hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.

Arriving at the streets of Spirit Hall, they first wandered around. Su Wen bought whatever they wanted. Finally, as they entered a hotel to eat, Yan and Xie Yue approached them.

"Brother, you guys are here too?"

Seeing the two of them together, Hu Liena took the initiative to greet them.

"Nana, Saint, Tian Yue, Lingling, Dugu Yan!"

Xie Yue was familiar with everyone as they were all students of the Golden Class.

He was familiar with all of them.

He greeted them and introduced Yan. "Nana, Yan has also entered the Golden Class and will be a classmate from now on. I specifically brought him out to celebrate!"

"Oh!"

Hu Liena nodded slightly. She wasn't surprised at all that Yan could enter the Spirit Hall Golden Class.

With Innate level nine Soul Power plus the Flame Lord Spirit, very few people in the Spirit Master Academy could best him.

"Want to eat together?"

Ye Lingling glanced at Su Wen and then spoke to everyone with a smile.

Yan rubbed the back of his head and looked at Su Wen. Seeing that he didn't refuse, they entered the private room together.

As for the Spirit Master Academy, Su Wen had almost forgotten how long it had been since he last set foot inside.

Yan's Soul Power had also reached level forty-one. It was less than five years until the Spirit Master Competition that Tang San participated in.

Su Wen calculated the timeline. There was only one year left before Tang San turned twelve and truly stepped onto the Douluo Continent and into the public eye.

"The external Spirit Bone, Eight Spider Lances!"

"In the future, it even evolves into the Eight Sea God Wings!"

Su Wen knew he must obtain this.

He absolutely could not leave it for Tang San.

Either he waited for Tang San to enter the Star Dou Great Forest and followed him to get the Eight Spider Lances,

or he started wandering the Star Dou Great Forest ahead of time himself.

Su Wen felt that regardless of which way, he should be able to obtain this Opportunity.

After eating with everyone, on the way back to Spirit Hall,

a woman wearing a purple long dress caught his attention. The slit in her dress was so high that her long, snow-white legs were completely exposed, and on those long legs were strange, incomprehensible red runes.

That wasn't the point; Su Wen felt a black aura of malice and resentment surrounding her.

As the possessor of the Ghost Emperor Spirit, Su Wen was extremely sensitive to this kind of power.

Coincidentally, at that moment, the woman also looked over, her lips even curling into a wicked smile.

In the blink of an eye, the woman's figure suddenly vanished.

Su Wen subconsciously looked around, trying to find her figure again.

"Senior Brother, what's wrong?"

Su Wen shook his head.

There were many people on the main roads with evil Spirits, to the point that even their appearances changed. This was quite normal; perhaps she was just someone like him who possessed an evil Spirit.

Returning to the Holy Sons Palace, after Tian Yue, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan left one after another, Hu Liena followed Su Wen happily.

"Senior Brother, do you want to check on Nana?"

Hu Liena closed the door, her small face brimming with a faint smile as she followed closely behind Su Wen.

"Check what?"

Under Su Wen's confused gaze, Hu Liena pulled out a small notebook. Su Wen suddenly understood; these were the sect rules he had set for Hu Liena, which she had to write out several times every day.

He remembered he hadn't checked it for a long time. Upon opening it, it was densely packed with the word: Loyalty.

Su Wen was very gratified. Hu Liena had almost made it a habit; this kind of loyalty should be engraved in her bones.

As he flipped through, he felt something was wrong. The original 'Loyal to Senior Brother' had turned into 'Senior Brother is mine'.

As Su Wen flipped further back, it returned to normal.

He breathed a sigh of relief for some reason; Nana must have written it wrong.

Su Wen saw Hu Liena staring straight at him, the emotion in her eyes almost overflowing.

Su Wen tapped her with the notebook. "I've finished looking. Hurry back and rest. Tomorrow we'll go to the Spirit Master Academy together; it's been a long time since I've stayed at the academy."

Hu Liena pouted slightly and left somewhat reluctantly. As she closed the door, a purple-black aura drifted in through the crack of the door.
