Zhu Zhuqing's second awakening
🕑 Added 2022-06-21 19:02:45 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 295 ---
Zhu Zhuqing's body suddenly was engulfed by a dark crimson aura. Her left eye released an intense shadowy ray that could devour one's will.
"What, what was that?" Admiral Kong floated on the seawater and saw a black-haired girl in front of him.
He couldn't respond to what happened in the last few minutes because his entire fleet ambushed from the sky. No, it's a direct attack into the core for their formation.
"I can't feel my arm." Admiral Kong looked to the right, seeing the missing limb there. He was lucky Yunlong's Pisces caused such minimal damage.
Tang Xiao roughly was strengthened by the Sun and Moon's prototype battle armor to Demi-God or perhaps Wild God's strength.
Nevertheless, he still was obliterated by Yunlong's Leo into a pile of flesh. That's just how powerful his attack was.
Cough!
Admiral Kong coughed blood to clear his throat and quickly stabilized his wounds with a nano injection.
Nano Injection is a silver needle-like device. It can mend broken muscle tissue within one's body, and recovering missing limbs is possible with enough time and energy.
Slash!
A deep slash appeared on Admiral Kong's chest, causing him to stare in awe.
Zhu Zhuqing grasped Gentle Moon, one of the daggers Yunlong gifted to her in the past, and ran swiftly in the shadow.
Admiral Kong frowned because Nano Injection couldn't heal his chest wounds left by the black-haired girl.
The answer to that was simple. Zhu Zhuqing's Gentle Moon can leave a strong curse every time she uses it to wound her enemy.
It's part of Dragon Will's ability within Gentle Moon, which Yunlong placed in case Zhu Zhuqing fought someone with never-ending vigor.
Admiral Kong activated his martial soul and defended himself from Zhu Zhuqing's silent yet deadly attacks.
Clank!
His golden bear claw clashed with Zhu Zhuqing's dagger.
BAM!
Zhu Zhuqing clenched her other hand and punched Admiral Kong in the face, leaving a red mark on his cheek.
"You!" Admiral Kong spewed blood from his mouth.
He countered Zhu Zhuqing by kicking her stomach, sending her to fly away from him.
Zhu Zhuqing's Aura enveloped Gentle Moon and smeared the dagger in an ominous atmosphere. A purple spirit ring shone brightly behind her body.
"Massacre."
A blinding dark light exploded in the sky, revealing over a hundred energy slashes.
Admiral Kong roared and unleashed a powerful claw attack at Zhu Zhuqing's Massacre.
BOOM!
A vast white smoke burst out from the clash, causing the entire area to become less visible.
Zhu Zhuqing's second spirit ring shone dimly, and some silhouettes ran toward Admiral Kong.
Clank!
Admiral Kong turned around swiftly and clashed his claw with Zhu Zhuqing's dagger.
"Don't look down on me, kid." He furiously stared at Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing jumped back and quickly disappeared into the smoke.
Admiral Kong's fifth spirit ring activated, and a wild bear roar echoed in the seashore, dispersing the smokes away.
However, when Admiral Kong can see Zhu Zhuqing's position again. A dagger unexpectedly appeared from the sea and stabbed his right calf, tearing the muscle apart.
"A clone!" He angrily killed Zhu Zhuqing's clone.
Even though he killed Zhu Zhuqing's clone, the dagger had put a curse on his calf. He couldn't heal it like his chest anymore.
Zhu Zhuqing licked the blood from her lips. She was injured because her clone was part of her and possessed 90% of her strength.
However, if the clone got injured, she would have to sustain 1% of the damages. A fair portion of her spirit energy instantly was consumed when a clone died.
'Huh, what a weird sensation.' Zhu Zhuqing thought while being overwhelmed by this new feeling.
After awakening her Aura, Zhu Zhuqing always felt something growing inside her. It's a new kind of force and not like Spirit Energy.
It's a wild, raw, and powerful sensation inside her body.
"And my clone was still killed by one hit." Zhu Zhuqing raised her gaze and looked at Admiral Kong, who horribly was injured by her attacks.
Admiral Kong angrily stared at her and picked something from his spatial ring. A weird device with a heart-like shape materialized in his hand.
He used the device, and golden armor wrapped around his upper body, shining in golden brilliance.
A burst of spirit energy occurred within his body, strengthening his power by several levels.
At the top of Sea God's Mountain, Yunlong watched Admiral Kong with a frown on his face.
"That armor."
"It's better than Tang Xiao's armor."
[Scanning...]
[Name: Battle Armor Ver.42]
[Description: A superior version of Tang Xiao's prototype with the enhanced regenerative ability and extreme spirit power strengthening]
"Can Zhuqing handle this?" Yunlong looked at the black-haired girl.
Even though Admiral Kong was a title douluo, one could notice many impurities in him. It's like the spirit energy inside his body is unstable.
Yunlong rubbed his temple and commented, "Fake."
"Hmm?" Little Saixi tilted her head in confusion.
"What are you talking about, Daddy?"
"That guy is a fake title douluo." He said while crossing his arms.
"Normally, one would need to cultivate spirit energy, physical body, and spiritual force to reach the Title Douluo realm."
"But, with an unorthodox method by consuming several precious medicines, one could reach the Title Douluo realm, alas weaker than the actual one."
Little Saixi put on a stupefied expression and asked, "Then, what about his body?"
"Daddy said one needs to train his body too, right?"
Yunlong chuckled because Little Saixi asked out a good point about Admiral Kong's condition. "The answer to that is his martial soul." He patted her head gently.
"It's one of the rarest spirit beasts on this planet, and no human has ever recorded with it."
"Hmm, what's it?" Little Saixi moved her gaze to Admiral Kong with dark golden furs around his body.
"Duskgold Dreadclaw Bear," Yunlong answered naturally.
Duskgold Dreadclaw Bear was one of the most mighty spirit beasts in history. When mature, it would not need to fear any predator, not even true dragons.
They also have the title of Earth Render.
It also possessed a bloodline that could match with True Dragon in the past. Behemoth's lineage, which faintly inherited till now.
Yunlong observed Admiral Kong and said, "Since that guy has Duskgold Dreadclaw Bear as a martial soul, physical limitation won't be a problem for him."
"Oh!" Little Saixi nodded in wonder.
ROAR!
Admiral Kong's body exuded a wild beast aura, and he roared at the sky. He could feel his entire body coursing with never-ending strength.
Zhu Zhuqing's blood boiled to the extreme, not even knowing why she felt so angry.
ROAR!
She roared to the sky and exuded a more intense crimson dark aura from her body.
A dreadful dusky golden and dark crimson rays clashed violently, filling the entire seashore with terror.
Zhu Zhuqing's third spirit ring lit up, and eight shadows appeared around her.
"DIE!" Admiral Kong dragged his golden bear claw at Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes became completely black for a moment, and Admiral Kong's attack passed through her body.
Like a ghost, she jumped from the seawater and pulled Serene Shade from her spatial ring, stabbing Admiral Kong's armor.
Clank!
"Hahaha, do you think that dagger could penetrate my defense anymore?" Admiral Kong sneered indifferently.
"With this armor, physical damage would become completely useless against me."
Zhu Zhuqing's Aura wrapped around Serena Shade and turned the dagger into a short sword with a gleaming ebony edge.
"Nine Shadow Strikes." She stared at Admiral Kong's eyes.
Zhu Zhuqing raised Serene Shade to the sky and quickly stabbed Admiral Kong's chest.
"It won't work-." Admiral Kong's eyes widened in shock because eight shadows appeared out of nowhere and began to bombard his chest.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The shadows Zhu Zhuqing created beforehand, gathering their strengths and attacking Admiral Kong's chest simultaneously.
Zhu Zhuqing's fourth spirit ring appeared.
She grasped Gentle Moon and Serene Shade, flowing them with her spirit energy. A beast-head made of pure energy with vicious teeth materialized around her.
"Cross Fangs."
Zhu Zhuqing, who was supposed to be a pure agility-based spirit master, has long derivated from her original self. She changed and walked into a new path under Yunlong's teaching.
A kitten from Star Luo Empire has become a beast.
"Zhuqing, your raw potential is far greater than your fellow maids." Bibi Dong commented once.
"However, you're still losing to Bai Xue, who only began to train a few years ago."
"Do you know why?"
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't understand what Bibi Dong said at that time. Yet, every maid on Yunlong's side always shows formidable strength and ability.
They are strong and possess the same traits to grow stronger.
Hunger.
Yes, They are hungry for strength.
Every time Zhu Zhuqing watched her fellow maids training, she could see a never-ending desire to become stronger.
Bai Xue showed her talent means nothing without effort and creativity.
Yu Ning'er showed her training is always fruitful.
Chu Xiaoyu showed self-discipline and a formidable will to fight.
Regardless, Zhu Zhuqing was the only one who followed Yunlong because of her pure feelings.
It's not necessarily bad, but feelings alone won't allow her to stand beside Yunlong.
"Obsession." Zhu Zhuqing whispered to herself.
Admiral Kong pounced forward and struck Zhu Zhuqing with his golden claw.
It was so fast, but Zhu Zhuqing effortlessly dodged it with her speed.
BOOM!
A terrifying golden line separated the seashore.
Zhu Zhuqing noticed a dent in Admiral Kong's armor, which she had prepared for this moment. The chest area was the part where she landed the first strike.
Admiral Kong saw a beast open its jaw and bite his chest through his back.
An average attack won't work, but spirit skill enhanced with Aura was several times more concentrated.
ROAR!
Crack!
Aura is not just energy. It's a unique form of the material and non-material world's force.
Crack!
Admiral Kong's armor cracked and had a small hole the size of rice grain in the chest area, which should be impossible because his armor was superior to Tang Xiao's armor.
Zhu Zhuqing seized Gentle Moon's handle and threw it into Admiral Kong's armor.
The Gentle Moon passed through the rice grain hole and penetrated Admiral Kong's chest.
Zhu Zhuqing's fifth and sixth spirit rings shone brightly, granting her a burst of strength. Dark spirit energy gathered in her left leg and formed a wings-like shape.
The fifth and sixth spirit rings merged, revealing a black spirit ring with a shade of red.
"Dead Lock." Zhu Zhuqing disappeared from Admiral Kong's sight.
A black flash flew through shadow and space, striking the Gentle Moon in Admiral Kong's chest. The dagger passed through his rib cages, reaching over his heart.
"ARRRGGGHHHHH!"
Zhu Zhuqing's body appeared again with her left leg struck deeply into Admiral Kong's chest.
"YOU LITTLE BITCH!" He roared in pain.
"DIE!"
Zhu Zhuqing felt her abdomen suddenly stabbed with something sharp, but she didn't care.
"GRAAAA!" She released a wild cry and bit Admiral Kong's neck with her teeth.
They are in a complete deadlock where Admiral Kong's heart has to use nano machines to heal itself, and Zhu Zhuqing desperately tries to kill him.
Zhu Zhuqing refuses to back down, even if she is bleeding to death. Her slender body erupted with an intense dark crimson Aura.
"ARRGGHH!!"
"GRAAAAA!!"
Admiral Kong stared at Zhu Zhuqing in disbelief because this monstrous girl should have died now, but her eyes still shone wildly like this.
"I can't interfere." Yunlong sighed while clenching his fist.
"This is the way for Zhuqing."
Even though Yunlong could kill Admiral Kong in a matter of seconds, Zhu Zhuqing needed this fight for herself.
According to Sea God's journal, she would gain recognition from the beast god.
Zhu Zhuqing spewed Admiral Kong's flesh and bit onto her other dagger's handle, Serena Shade. She bent her neck and stabbed his eyes with all her might.
"You little-." Admiral Kong's right eye instantly was crushed by her dagger.
A bolt of black lightning fell from the heavens and struck them violently.
BOOM!
Admiral Kong thoroughly was electrocuted to the brim. He could feel nanomachines inside his body begin to crumble.
Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing's body changed drastically, growing more mature. Her silky black hair grew and reached over her butt.
A pair of black feathery wings spurted from her back, followed by two additional cattails.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes are bright purple with a hint of extreme coldness.
Ding!
A crimson spirit ring appeared in the sky and descended to Zhu Zhuqing, merging with her. It becomes her seventh spirit ring.
Yunlong saw the sky turn dark weirdly, and an enormous silhouette of a winged beast appeared.
It's a three-tailed feline beast with feathery wings and a pair of gem-like purple eyes.
The feline beast moved its gaze to Yunlong and blinked several times, disappearing into the sky a second later.
Zhu Zhuqing stood on Admiral Kong's dying body and released an arrogant roar at the sky.
ROAR!
She instinctively moved her gaze to the Sea God Mountain, specifically Yunlong.
Yunlong smiled and said, "Good girl."
