363: Jian Douluo was defeated by Qian Daoliu, and the amazing changes

“It’s a pity. Although you’ve also reached 99th-level Soul Power, I’m at the peak of 99th-level. The difference in Soul Power between us is still vast. If our Soul Power were the same, you might have a few chances of defeating me.” Qian Daoliu shook his head, but there was nothing more to say.

Although this battle primarily focused on the sword dao, a person’s strengths are also part of the sword dao.

“The victor has been decided, Sword Dao Chenxin. Keep your life. When your Soul Power is on par with mine, then we shall fight again.”

Qian Daoliu had already decided to stop the battle.

“Wait! Qian Daoliu!!!” Sword Douluo, covered in blood, stood up again, very weak, and said firmly, “I haven’t lost yet. With one last move, let’s decide the victor between us!”

“Are you sure? With this last move, you might die.” Qian Daoliu was extremely calm.

“I’m sure.”

“Alright, then as you wish.”

Sword Douluo slowly closed his eyes. This time, he had gained much insight from fighting Qian Daoliu. It was as if his understanding of the sword dao had deepened. His ninth red spirit ring slowly rose from beneath his feet.

Sword Douluo’s sword intent also climbed again. It was clearly stronger than before the battle!

Sword Douluo seemed to have merged with the Seven Kill Sword, man as sword, sword as body.

“This is… the realm of Man-Sword Unity!!!” Qian Daoliu was greatly shocked, “You… you actually comprehended the realm of Man-Sword Unity during the battle!!”

“Indeed.” Sword Douluo’s voice resounded, “Ninth Soul Skill, Divine Demonic Slash!!”

“I didn’t expect you to comprehend the highest realm of the sword dao at a younger age than me.” Qian Daoliu smiled self-deprecatingly. He understood that Sword Douluo’s talent in the sword dao, starting now, had surpassed his own.

But in this battle, he would not lose: “Ninth Soul Skill, Blazing Sun Judgment!!”

Qian Daoliu raised the sword in his hand, and terrifying golden light and raging fire condensed.

The strongest attacks from both sides clashed in the final showdown. It was clear that Sword Douluo was no match, his power being disintegrated.

Just as Qian Daoliu’s power was about to crush Sword Douluo.

Ye Wen instantly struck, unleashing a punch.

Bang! Boom boom boom.

He easily shattered it, saving Sword Douluo.

“Hey, hey, hey, are you two trying to die? Stop right here. In my Beast God Space, killing is not allowed.” Ye Wen instantly crushed their powers and glanced at them.

If he hadn’t acted, Sword Douluo would definitely have been killed by Qian Daoliu. He couldn’t bear to see a powerful individual like Sword Douluo die.

“Thank you, Lord Beast God, for saving me.” Sword Douluo said gratefully.

He already knew the outcome of the final clash, and being stopped midway, he felt no regret, and was also grateful that Ye Wen had waited until he finished his last move before intervening.

“I just simply don’t want to see a talent die like that, that’s all. Alright, both of you go rest. This round counts as Qian Daoliu’s victory.” Ye Wen waved his hand.

The battle thus ended, with Sword Douluo stopping at the top sixteen.

However, Ye Wen was certain that in less than a year, Sword Douluo’s strength might surpass Gold Crocodile Douluo and Azure Phoenix Douluo.

Ye Wen reminded, “Here, I must remind everyone again: no matter what grudges or hatred you have between you, on my territory, only I have the right to let someone die. None of you have the right to take another’s life.”

“You can fight, but don’t kill anyone, understand?”

“We… we understand.” Everyone nodded.

“Alright, continue.”

With that, Ye Wen’s figure disappeared again.

Soon, the third 1v1 individual elimination round ended. The final results were as expected: first place was still Qian Daoliu, and second was Gold Crocodile Douluo.

As the competition concluded, everything returned to the normal assessment. All examinees continued to diligently cultivate, grow stronger, and complete the assessment.

Time flew by quickly.

One month!

Two months!

Three months!

It was also in the third month that Qian Daoliu finally completed the second assessment. The age of all his spirit rings increased by another five thousand years, and his assessment progress finally caught up with everyone else.

Fourth month!

Fifth month!

In the sixth month, Su Yuntao’s Soul Power finally broke through to level 70, entering the Spirit Saint realm!

“Spirit Saint, I am finally a Spirit Saint!” Su Yuntao was incredibly excited and joyful.

Upon seeing this, Ye Wen came before Su Yuntao: “Not bad, Su Yuntao. You are now also a powerful Spirit Saint Spirit Master. Go acquire a spirit ring. With your current conditions, absorbing one around eighty thousand years old won’t be a problem.”

“Yes!! Lord Beast God!!”

Su Yuntao nodded and immediately left the Beast God Space. With Spirit Hall’s support, he could directly go to the Supreme Pontiff Palace to find powerful individuals to help him acquire a spirit ring.

About half a month later, Su Yuntao returned after absorbing his spirit ring.

Upon his return, Su Yuntao’s Soul Power had already reached the peak of level 72, and he could break through again in as little as half a month.

“Hmm?” Seeing Su Yuntao return, Ye Wen couldn’t help but take a second look. These two glances immediately made him notice something unusual: “Oh? Su Yuntao’s aura seems to have changed. Could it be…!”

Ye Wen seemed to sense something and immediately approached Su Yuntao, asking, “Su Yuntao, has your Spirit changed?”

“Yes, Lord Beast God, I was just about to tell you, my Spirit unexpectedly evolved when I absorbed my seventh spirit ring!” Su Yuntao said with a smile.

“Indeed…!!” Ye Wen was slightly surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, it was normal for it to evolve. He then said, “Su Yuntao, release your Spirit and show me.”

“Alright, Lord Beast God.” Su Yuntao nodded and immediately released his Spirit: “Hurricane Lone Wolf!!”

“Spirit Assimilation!”

“Howl~!!”

A more powerful, dominant, and fierce wolf-man appeared behind Su Yuntao.

He said happily, “Lord Beast God, I don’t know what happened, but my Spirit evolved after I absorbed my seventh spirit ring. According to the Spirit Masters of the Supreme Pontiff Palace, my Spirit’s quality has reached high-grade.”

“Indeed, it is a high-grade Spirit. The power of the wind element attribute is stronger.” Ye Wen nodded.

He then explained, “The principle of Spirit evolution is very simple. Because a spirit ring carries the power of the Spirit Beast from its life, when a Spirit Master absorbs it, this power will merge into the Spirit.”

“Making the Spirit stronger. As the spirit ring’s power continuously integrates and reaches a certain degree, evolution may occur. However, this situation is generally very rare.”

“Lord Beast God, so does that mean I was lucky?” Su Yuntao asked.

“No, whether a Spirit can evolve has little to do with luck. It’s because your original Spirit’s quality was too weak.” Ye Wen shook his head.
