CHAPTER 277: CHAPTER 277: THE CHILDHOOD VERSION OF BO SAIXI’S MARTIAL SOUL, THE DEATH OF EMPEROR XUE YE

The next day, Lin Feng got up early and went straight to Bo Saixi’s current residence.

He reached out and knocked on the door. From inside came Bo Saixi’s somewhat cold and clear voice, "Who is it?"

"It’s me, Lin Feng," Lin Feng replied.

The room door opened, and Bo Saixi appeared before Lin Feng. She was wearing a simple blue dress, her long hair draped over her shoulders, her expression carrying a hint of indifference. However, when she saw Lin Feng, her pupils brightened slightly, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

"Yo, isn’t it my esteemed Master? Why aren’t you being affectionate with that Teacher’s Wife, Bibi Dong? Have you thought of coming to me, this disciple who was picked up halfway and is unloved by anyone?"

"Can I come in?"

Bo Saixi was stunned for a moment, then immediately snorted, moved her body aside, and signaled for Lin Feng to enter the room. Lin Feng smiled faintly, stepped inside, and casually sized up the room. The layout was simple yet revealed a fresh and elegant taste, which was very much in line with Bo Saixi’s character.

At the instant Lin Feng had entered the room, Bo Saixi’s nose twitched, and then she quickly pouted her lips.

She had smelled the scent on that fellow’s body. It was the scent of the incense that Bibi Dong wore on her person. If not for having been together for a long time, the scent on his body would not have lingered for so long.

Although this fellow’s own scent was better to smell, and the scent from Bibi Dong was very little, just this little bit of a smell had made her heart vexed. Damn it! I could have had a good time.

Ah, pah!—

Hers, his—they’re all stinky! Not good to smell at all!

"Hmph," she snorted again and quickly closed the room door tightly, not wanting this vexing scent to float out another single bit, as if in this way she could also lock up the dissatisfaction and jealousy in her heart.

She crossed her arms over her chest, squinting at Lin Feng, a half-smiling arc on the corner of her mouth. "It’s the first time I’ve seen you proactively come to my place. Is there some major matter?"

This stinking fellow is really too familiar. To have casually sat down on another’s bed. Don’t you know this is very embarrassing?

Lin Feng sat down on the bed and nodded. "We can prepare to remove the god-bestowed part of your martial soul. It might be a little painful. You have to endure it."

A look of pleasant surprise was revealed in Bo Saixi’s beautiful pupils. Immediately, she rolled her eyes again and replied with a casual air, "Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

She, on her own, walked before Lin Feng and looked down at him from above. "Since you’ve come, then let’s get started quickly."

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows. "Looking at your commanding appearance, how come it seems you are the master? Hurry up and sit down."

"Oh," Bo Saixi replied but did not really sit down. On the contrary, she stood on the spot, a playful smile on the corner of her mouth. "I’d like to see what kind of a painful method this so-called removing a part of a god-bestowed martial soul of yours is."

"Stop fooling around! Sit down cross-legged obediently!" Lin Feng’s voice raised a decibel.

"Alright then," only then did Bo Saixi, as she was told, sit down cross-legged opposite Lin Feng.

Lin Feng drew from his dantian, and a ball of a sky-blue, pure energy slowly appeared, suspended in mid-air, like a bright pearl in the deep sea, emitting a soft and deep light.

This was the origin power related to the Sea God’s god-seat that had been extracted from the Sea God’s divine sense before. It had been, by Lin Feng with his power of yin and yang, had had all its impurities melted away, and was to be used as the nourishment for Bo Saixi’s new martial soul.

He gazed at Bo Saixi, his eyes revealing an unprecedented gravity. "Bo Saixi, the subsequent process will be exceptionally difficult. You must be completely relaxed and hand over your martial soul to me to guide. Remember, no matter what happens, you must hold fast to your original heart and not let pain occupy your consciousness."

Bo Saixi nodded, her expression firm.

Lin Feng’s hands changed again. The power of yin and yang transformed into a taiji pattern and condensed on Bo Saixi’s head, between her eyebrows, under her body, and at her dantian.

This sudden formation made Bo Saixi’s heart be shocked. This pattern, she had seen it before. The day Lin Feng had captured her with one move, he had used this move. It was just that that day, it had been the five-element energy, and this time, it was this strange black-and-white power of yin and yang.

Just from the aura, today’s formation actually did not have a single bit of an energy fluctuation and was completely different from the formation from a few days ago.

But if one were to have Bo Saixi say which was strong and which was weak, she would surely, without any hesitation, choose the latter. This sense of apprehension from her soul would not be wrong.

"Is Master trying to kill this disciple?" Bo Saixi lightly bit the corner of her mouth, tears in the corners of her eyes. Her appearance was pitiful. "Was it I who angered you, to have to lay down such a killing formation to take my life?"

Lin Feng rolled his eyes with annoyance. "Stop acting. If you were really so scared, how come you haven’t run yet? Or even moved?"

Then Bo Saixi really did move—she blinked her eyes.

"For some reason, I can’t move."

Lin Feng put a hand to his forehead and directly knocked her on the head. "If you fool around again, I’ll spank your butt next time."

"You dare!" Bo Saixi’s beautiful eyes were wide.

"How would I not dare? I’ve changed my mind. After I have shaped your martial soul, I’m going to kick your butt."

"Hehe," Bo Saixi sneered. "If you dare to kick, I’ll go and tell your good friend, Bibi Dong! Don’t be a coward!"

Lin Feng pouted, the movements in his hands not stopping. A golden True Qi was slowly infused by him into Bo Saixi’s body, roaming along her meridians. On one hand, it was soothing her slightly trembling body due to her nervousness, and on the other, it was looking for the root of the god-bestowed martial soul.

"Now it’s really starting. Close your eyes and concentrate."

"Alright."

The two, who had seemed to have been playing around, had put away their playful appearance. Bo Saixi, according to Lin Feng’s instructions, slowly closed her eyes, completely relaxing her entire body, and completely entrusted her own martial soul to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng’s spiritual power was highly concentrated. He was as if he could sense every subtle fluctuation in Bo Saixi’s body. The True Qi was like a fine thread, shuttling through Bo Saixi’s meridians, carefully touching the boundary of the god-bestowed martial soul.

"Ah—" With the deepening of the energy, Bo Saixi suddenly let out a cry of pain. Her body began to tremble violently, the green veins on her forehead bulging. It was clear that she was enduring an extreme pain. But she still bit her jaw tightly and did not let a single moan escape.

"Mmph~~"

Finally, Lin Feng had touched the origin of the martial soul, which was contained in the deepest part of Bo Saixi’s body. This martial soul, which had been transformed by the Sea God’s divine power, at this moment showed the appearance of the Sea God.

Lin Feng’s will looked at it coldly. The yin-yang formation spun rapidly, the True Qi surging, and directly passed through it.

The True Qi was used for purification, and the power of yin and yang was used for reshaping.

Under Lin Feng’s precise and decisive operation, the ball of the Sea God-like martial soul’s origin began to tremble violently, as if it had sensed a threat from the depths of its soul.

Bo Saixi’s body also then trembled even more fiercely. Her face became even paler.

She could feel the divine power in her body being stripped away bit by bit, while her own martial soul was slowly awakening. This feeling, which was a mixture of pain and rebirth, made her both terrified and excited.

With the continuous pouring in of Lin Feng’s True Qi, the Sea God-like martial soul’s origin began to gradually disintegrate, turning into specks of a blue light that dissipated in the air. And at the same time, a brand new power welled up in Bo Saixi’s body. This power was pure and strong, as if it were closely connected to her soul.

With a thought from Lin Feng, the ball of a sky-blue, pure energy that symbolized the origin of the god-seat and was suspended in the air slowly descended and merged into Bo Saixi’s body.

With the merging of this power, Bo Saixi’s body emitted an even more dazzling light. Her martial soul was undergoing an unprecedented transformation.

Lin Feng, seeing the right opportunity, once again passed in his True Qi.

"Ah—" Bo Saixi once again let out a long howl. This time, her voice was full of the joy of release and rebirth. Her body suddenly bloomed with a dazzling light. The light contained the depth and vastness of the ocean, as if she were the goddess who controlled the ocean.

At the same time, on Sea God Island, the power of faith, which should have been passed up to the Divine Realm, from time to time...

In this torrent, a wisp of a fine, thread-like power of faith had suddenly, as if it had gotten lost, broken away from the main force, floated and floated, and had disappeared without a trace.

No one had discovered it, nor could anyone possibly discover it.

Bo Saixi opened her two pupils. In her bright pupils sparkled an unprecedented brilliance, as if all the agility of the ocean had been gathered within.

Around her body was also a circle of a pale blue halo. It was the sign of her new martial soul’s perfect fusion with her soul.

"Hmph, it’s barely not bad," Bo Saixi glanced at Lin Feng with a feigned pickiness, but the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but lift slightly, revealing the joy and satisfaction in her heart.

She deliberately used the tip of her foot to lightly touch his. "Now I am a true goddess of the sea. Master, you had better be careful in the future."

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows, directly grabbed the restless foot, which had drawn a cry of surprise and a wave of a struggle from Bo Saixi. But Lin Feng’s hand was like an iron clamp, not moving a single bit.

His gaze carried a bit of amusement, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly. "What, Goddess of the Sea, you want to make a move on me, a mortal, already?"

Bo Saixi’s cheeks were slightly red. A trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes, but more so a shyness from having her thoughts seen through. "You... you let me go! Who wants to make a move on you! It was you who was moving carelessly just now, okay?" She struggled, wanting to pull her foot back, but found that Lin Feng’s hand was holding even more tightly.

Lin Feng released his hand.

"How does it feel?"

"Very comfortable. The feeling of my soul being complete as one is really too good," Bo Saixi stood up, moved her body a little, and felt the majestic power brought by her new martial soul.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement. "It’s as if the entire world is closely related to me. Especially this ocean. I can almost hear the sound of every single drop of water."

"Want to bring it out for a look?" Lin Feng yawned. Just now, having released so much energy, it really had made him a little tired.

Especially to ensure that in Bo Saixi’s martial soul, there would be no will left by the Sea God, he had used a very large part of his spiritual power on the detection, and had also used almost half of his True Qi to repeatedly wash Bo Saixi’s martial soul to ensure that there would be no other residue.

And then he had used so much of the power of yin and yang to activate the method of transformation and creation, to fuse the energy that symbolized the origin of the Sea God’s god-seat into Bo Saixi’s martial soul.

From now on, her martial soul would be the embodiment of the origin of the Sea God’s god-seat.

If Lin Feng’s thoughts were not wrong, Bo Saixi could directly kick Poseidon away and take the god-seat herself.

After all, Poseidon had become a god by condensing his god-seat after birth. And Lin Feng now had directly shaped the origin of the god-seat into Bo Saixi’s martial soul.

To give an analogy, one was a person who had mastered a god-seat, and one was the god-seat itself. Which one had a more legitimate claim was clear at a glance.

If the Sea God were to know the whole story, he would surely curse, a latecomer is stealing the fruits of my labor!

However, if his assumptions were not wrong, then shouldn’t the power of faith have arrived? Oh, it has.

Just as he was thinking, Lin Feng had already sensed a trace of the power of faith slowly emerging from the void and pouring into Bo Saixi’s body. This was an ability he had obtained not long ago. He could even see on his own body that there were also continuously golden powers of faith pouring into his body.

Unlike Bo Saixi, hers had a long interval before there was a trace. And his was a few wisps at a time, like a trickling stream continuously pouring into a vast ocean.

"Are you taking it for a walk?"

Bo Saixi rolled her eyes with annoyance.

"Martial soul, appear!"

In their expectant gazes, with a light shout from Bo Saixi, a deep blue light suddenly surged around her body, as if the essence of the entire ocean had been condensed here.

In the blue light, a phantom figure slowly appeared. Its noble, lofty temperament was one with Bo Saixi’s. It gradually solidified, turning into the image of a goddess wearing a long, blue robe and a sea-blue sapphire crown.

From her appearance, she was Bo Saixi. But her temperament was even more holy and solemn, as if she were a sea god who had truly walked out of an ancient myth.

It was just that...

"Lin—Feng!!! What have you done!"

Suddenly, Bo Saixi, as if she didn’t want to believe what she was seeing, opened her eyes to look at her own martial soul, then closed her eyes and opened them again to look. Then she gritted her teeth at Lin Feng.

The corner of Lin Feng’s mouth twitched. Looking at the exquisite and cute little goddess like a porcelain doll in the blue light, he was also a little taken aback.

This... how is this a childhood version of Bo Saixi?

He scratched his head and explained with some embarrassment, "Ahem, perhaps when I was reshaping your martial soul, I had accidentally integrated your soul’s aura into it. The result was that it became like this?"

"It should grow up, right? Don’t worry. When it first appeared, wasn’t it an enlarged version? But you were really so cute when you were little. Hey, how did you get so big? Are you exceptionally talented?"

Bo Saixi was at a loss for what to do with her shyness. She hurriedly withdrew her own martial soul and directly pounced at Lin Feng.

"Ah!!! I’ll bite you to death!!!"

"Hey! Don’t you mess around! Hey hey hey! Where are you touching!!!"

---

In the Heaven Dou Empire, in the Crown Prince’s sleeping chamber.

"Is the news reliable?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, the Crown Prince, it is surely reliable. In another half a cup of tea’s time, someone will come to pass the message. This subordinate congratulates Your Highness on ascending to the great treasure, and may you live for ten thousand years!"

"Mmm. Go to the backyard and receive your reward."

"Many thanks, Your Highness, the Crown Prince!"

"Xue Qinghe" sat quietly in the sleeping chamber.

"Finally, this day has come," he said to himself in a low voice. "The realm of Titled Douluo is right before my eyes."

Just at this time, a guard hurriedly walked in and knelt on the ground. "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, an urgent report has come from the imperial palace. His Majesty summons you to the palace immediately! I’m afraid... I’m afraid he is about to..."

Hearing this, a trace of an imperceptible joy flashed in "Xue Qinghe’s" eyes. After turning around, his face was already full of a sorrowful expression. He cried out in grief, "Father Emperor! Your son is coming right now!"

On the same day, at the hour of you (5-7 PM), Emperor Xue Ye had passed away. A sound of mourning was throughout the Heaven Dou Empire. And the Crown Prince, "Xue Qinghe," under the support of everyone, had smoothly ascended the throne and had become the new emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire.
