CHAPTER 342: CHAPTER 210: FUSION OF DIVINE SOULS! (8100 WORDS)_2

To be honest, his current combat prowess had reached a horrifying level, enough to drive many prodigies to despair.

Afterward, he frantically gathered a massive amount of Soul Power and infused it into the Asura Heaven Punishment Sword, allowing Nie Linglan to have her fill as well. This kind of Soul Power was also extremely beneficial to her.

Finally, everything was done.

"Come now, everyone, open your mouths!"

With his strength greatly increased, Wang Xiu was in high spirits. He raised his hand, and his Divine Soul power surged out like waves, gathering a large number of Spirit Essences and sending them toward the prodigies meditating on the cliff.

"Is something this good really happening?"

"Senior Brother Wang Xiu, you’re a great benefactor!"

"What benefactor? Hurry up and call him Godfather!"

The prodigies were stunned for a moment, then became overjoyed as various titles blurted from their mouths.

Pu Sanlang shamelessly called out "Godfather" at the top of his lungs, startling everyone around him.

The opportunities in this secret realm all depended on luck. With bad luck, one could meditate for months and not a single Spirit Essence would stop nearby. Even with good luck, there were limits. Most people would be fit to burst after consuming just two or three Spirit Essences.

But now, with a wave of Wang Xiu’s hand, thousands upon thousands of Spirit Essences rained down on them. Their treasured light was as brilliant as a meteor shower, engulfing the entire area.

"Awesome! This is incredible! I’ve never felt so good!"

"This Spirit Essence Soul Force is so pure, it’s comparable to a Precious Medicine! One bite makes me feel like I could ascend to the heavens!"

"Hahaha, I’ve already eaten three! I feel like my very spirit has been cleansed, and even my comprehension has improved!"

These Spirit Essences were formed from the spirits of powerful ancient beings, their energy incredibly pure. As they were swallowed, they continued to glow inside the prodigies’ bodies. Brilliant divine light churned like a tide of essence, emitting a medicinal fragrance that filled their Divine Sense seas.

"Junior Brother Wang Xiu, aim better! Toss some over here..." Li Zuoyue cried out anxiously. Wang Xiu was throwing them far too randomly, and several clusters of Spirit Essences had whizzed right past him. He hadn’t managed to get any, and he was getting frantic.

Not far away, Pu Sanlang had already eaten two. Licking his lips, still wanting more, he continued to shout, "Godfather, over here, Godfather!"

Huang Yunchong’s face darkened. "Old Pu, have you no shame?"

Pu Sanlang was unabashed. "Shame? What’s that? A mere external possession... Ah, yes, right here! Thank you, Godfather!"

Before the words left his mouth, another Spirit Essence landed beside him, and he promptly swallowed it. After consuming three Spirit Essences, his entire body was glowing, enveloped in a radiant halo. Streams of mist rose from his head as if he were about to ascend and become a celestial being.

Xiang Tiange and the others had odd expressions as they glanced in Wang Xiu’s direction.

What the hell? Does calling him Godfather actually work? Since when did Junior Brother Wang Xiu have this sort of quirk?

"Shameful..." Huang Yunchong clenched his fist and shouted at Wang Xiu, "Godfather, stop feeding him! Give your senior brother some, too!"

Wang Xiu stumbled, nearly tumbling down from the mountaintop as sweat beaded on his forehead. He had only tossed a Spirit Essence at Pu Sanlang to shut him up, thinking his shouts of "Godfather" were too embarrassing. Why was this guy following suit?

Helpless, he specifically picked out a Spirit Essence shaped like an abalone and tossed it directly at Huang Yunchong’s face.

Seeing this, the gathered prodigies all froze.

So, it really does work.

"Godfather, look at me, Godfather!"

"Godfather, over here!"

"Godfather, I haven’t even had a single bite yet!"

"Just one glance, I beg you, Godfather!"

For a time, the word "Godfather" echoed all over the mountainside. Wang Xiu had suddenly gained hundreds, even thousands, of godsons. It was a spectacular sight.

I never thought the seemingly gentle and refined Junior Brother Wang Xiu would have such a strange quirk... Li Xuanqi thought, her pure and beautiful features framed by her white dress, her gaze toward Wang Xiu filled with curiosity.

Senior Sister, you’ve misunderstood... Wang Xiu’s face darkened.

"It’s perfectly normal," Zhang Yuge called out from a distance, thumping his chest with an ’I-get-it’ look on his face. "Throughout history, every peerless genius has had a few quirks. Brother, we’re all men here. I get it."

Get my ass... Wang Xiu nearly cursed out loud.

"Then... should I also call Junior Brother Wang Xiu... Godfather?" Li Xuanqi’s face blushed as she cocked her head and blinked. She was incredibly charming. The typically pure and dignified Saintess suddenly showed a hint of playfulness that was captivating.

"COUGH, COUGH... Senior Sister, please don’t joke around. Hurry and absorb this Spirit Essence. Your junior brother specifically picked this one out for you... it’s very nourishing!" Wang Xiu coughed to hide his embarrassment, casually placing a Spirit Essence near Li Xuanqi’s mouth.

Upon closer inspection, it was a short and thick demon eel. It must have been an extraordinary creature in life, as its aura was far more substantial than most Spirit Essences. Its shape, however, was somewhat strange.

For a moment, both of them fell silent.

My head is about to explode, Wang Xiu thought. I really just grabbed it randomly. The Saintess of Mount Shu is as pure as ice and jade; surely she won’t read anything into this, right?

He stole a glance at Li Xuanqi. He saw her stunning face stiffen as her breathing quickened, a blush spreading all the way to her earlobes. She bit her red lip and asked, "Did you do this on purpose?"

Wang Xiu put on a serious, innocent expression. "Of course. This is a highly nourishing item that I carefully selected, especially for you, Senior Sister. What’s wrong?"

Li Xuanqi eyed him suspiciously for a long moment before she looked away, half-convinced. "It’s nothing..."

Then, her delicate lips parted slightly, and she swallowed the pitch-black demon eel.

Wang Xiu stared at her profile. The contrast between her snow-white skin and the pitch-black demon eel was striking. Combined with her pure, saintly face, the effect was devastating.

Thanks to his strong willpower, Wang Xiu hadn’t betrayed any strange reaction. It was only after he turned away that he finally let out a long, slow breath of relief. He didn’t notice, however, that Li Xuanqi had seen the entire thing.

Instantly, her cheeks flushed crimson. She gnashed her teeth as her ample chest heaved, her fists clenching tightly.

"...Jerk!"
