Chapter 557: Chapter 557: Daming and Erming's Decision

After half an hour, Chrysanthemum Douluo's body expelled a significant amount of impurities, and his body began to emit a golden glow. When he opened his eyes, excitement was clear on his face—this experience had yielded incredible gains!

As he rose to approach Su Ming and the others, they instinctively took a step back and covered their noses.

"Ahem, Yue Guan, you might want to check yourself…" Ghost Douluo remarked tactfully.

With a wave of their hands, Su Ming and Ah Yin quickly purified the grime from Chrysanthemum Douluo's body.

"Chrysanthemum Douluo, how are you feeling now? I assume you've reached level 96 like Ghost Douluo. Did you notice any changes in your abilities?" Su Ming asked, curious.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's spirit, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, had not evolved like Ghost Douluo's. Su Ming wondered if the chrysanthemum could be harvested as an edible herb after absorbing the celestial plant's essence.

Eagerly, Chrysanthemum Douluo replied, "Yes, I finally broke through to level 96, and I gained a new ability. According to what you've told me before, my spirit is more suited to support-type or food-type paths, but due to past choices, I went the assault path. With all my spirit ring slots filled, I couldn't go back."

"However, as a result, I developed a special innate skill—each month, I can produce a Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum."

"What?" Su Ming was astonished. "Is it identical to the original herb in effect?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo's face stiffened slightly. "Not quite that potent. At one per month, its effectiveness is about one-fifth of a true celestial herb. If an average soul master consumes it, they'll gain a minor boost in physique and talent, similar to a diluted version of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. To achieve full potency, it would take about a year."

After hearing his explanation, Su Ming nodded thoughtfully. "So, at a minimum, you produce a lesser chrysanthemum each month, but with time, the effect strengthens?"

"Exactly. I can also generate food-grade Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemums to restore soul power, stamina, and enhance defenses for soul masters."

Su Ming recognized the possibilities of this unexpected gift. "Then let's use the weaker chrysanthemums to reward those who contribute significantly to Spirit Hall."

Chrysanthemum Douluo readily agreed.

"So, should we head to the Breaking Clan next?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked.

Su Ming nodded. "Yes, but it's already getting dark. Let's rest here tonight and set off in the morning."

By early morning, Xiao Wu had returned from Star Lake. Daming and Erming had heard about the spirit soul contract and were interested in becoming Su Ming's spirit souls. With Su Ming's current strength, their transformation would instantly propel him to level 70. They left it up to Su Ming to decide whether he wanted them to provide spirit rings.

Daming and Erming also felt that after such a long time in Star Dou Forest, life had grown somewhat dull, especially with Xiao Wu away. Xiao Wu had mentioned that as 100,000-year soul beasts, they could reconstitute their bodies after becoming spirit souls, so they wouldn't vanish.

Their decision wasn't solely to help Su Ming or protect Xiao Wu; they also had other motives. Knowing Su Ming had inherited a divine power, they saw an opportunity for potential immortality, joining Su Ming in the God Realm someday. Reaching a 200,000-year level would take them ages, and achieving it alone would require enduring a heavenly lightning tribulation, something they weren't entirely confident about.

Hearing Xiao Wu relay their reasoning, Su Ming considered the upcoming founding of the Spirit Empire, where Daming and Erming could be invaluable assets. When Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo left for Sea God Island, he could have Daming and Erming stay back to assist.

As for spirit rings, Su Ming opted to use bestowed spirit rings, as Daming and Erming's attributes didn't quite match his needs.

"Understood," Su Ming told Xiao Wu, then turned to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo. "Now that you're one of us, there are things I won't keep from you. Follow me."

Xiao Wu observed the two quietly, trusting Su Ming's judgment. She had spent enough time with him to know they were trustworthy.

On the way to Star Lake, Su Ming briefly explained Xiao Wu's unique background to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo. Stunned, they looked at the smiling Xiao Wu in bewilderment. As Titled Douluo, they should have sensed her 100,000-year soul beast aura if she were one.

Su Ming merely reminded them, "Did you forget that Xiao Wu once consumed the Yearning Heartbroken Red?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo, familiar with celestial herbs, speculated, "Could it be that the Yearning Heartbroken Red masked her aura? I've never heard of such an effect from a herb before. Remarkable."

Su Ming then added with a serious tone, "Let me be clear: if any of you harbor improper thoughts…"

Before Su Ming could finish, the two immediately vowed, "Rest assured. While we aren't saints, we do have principles."

Chrysanthemum Douluo added, "Besides, Xiao Wu is my disciple now. I still have a teacher's duty to uphold."


Chapter 558: Chapter 558: Daming and Erming Enter the World, Absorbing Spirit Bones

Seeing that Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo were sincere in their commitment, Su Ming felt reassured. He trusted that both of them would make the right choices and keep his secrets safe.

Not long after, Su Ming and his companions arrived at Star Lake, where the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python were already waiting.

"Su Ming, you're here?" the Titan Giant Ape said in his usual friendly tone.

From the lake's depths, the head of the Azure Bull Python emerged, adding, "Su Ming, Sister Xiao Wu probably already told you our decision. Since you're here, I assume you're okay with it."

Su Ming nodded. "Yes, it's beneficial for me to have you both as my spirit souls. I won't need you to provide me with spirit rings since that wouldn't suit me well."

"By becoming my spirit souls, you'll be able to reconstruct your bodies because of your 100,000-year cultivation. However, when you reach 200,000 years, you'll likely still face the lightning tribulation."

They had known about this and replied, "Su Ming, we're ready. Let's begin."

Once Su Ming confirmed their decision, he recited the incantation for the spirit soul contract.

After some time, two young men, appearing around thirty years old, materialized before them.

Xiao Wu raised an eyebrow, remarking, "Daming, Erming, you two really chose to appear so...mature?"

Erming grinned and replied, "Sister Xiao Wu, we're going to live as humans in the outside world. It wouldn't make sense to look too young; this is just right."

Xiao Wu found it strange that these two grown men were calling her "Sister Xiao Wu," but it made sense. For outsiders, a Titled Douluo of their apparent age would be assumed to be in their sixties or seventies, their youthful appearance a side effect of their power.

After contracting Daming and Erming, Su Ming sensed their power levels and was surprised. "Daming, your cultivation has reached 170,000 years, and Erming, you're at 140,000. No wonder your strength is formidable—Daming, you're probably equivalent to a level 97 Titled Douluo, and Erming, around level 96. That's strong enough to pin down even Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo."

[Note: In my research, spirit beasts of 200,000 to 400,000 years correlate to level 97 Titled Douluos, so Daming's level has been adjusted accordingly.]

Chrysanthemum Douluo:

Ghost Douluo:

Daming nodded and said, "Su Ming, you should absorb our spirit bones now. It might even help you reach level 70."

Looking at the two dark red and dark blue arm bones, Su Ming sat down to begin the absorption process. Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo exchanged looks of envy, but they understood that Su Ming had his own opportunities and that he had generously provided them with the chance to solve their own issues through the celestial herbs.

Even though the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python's spirit bones weren't the perfect match for him, they were still of 100,000-year quality and would provide substantial power. Extra control and attack measures through spirit bones would be advantageous, especially since his abilities were primarily augmentative.

Once his strength was sufficient, Su Ming remembered the two-million-year-old Ice and Fire Dragon Kings at the bottom of the Yin-Yang Ice Fire Well. Those remains should yield spirit bones with potential synergy, possibly granting him impressive dual resistance to ice and fire.

As Su Ming absorbed the spirit bones, Daming and Erming evaluated Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

Daming started, "Yue Guan, I heard you're now Sister Xiao Wu's teacher?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo, slightly uncomfortable, replied, "Yes, I promised Su Ming I'd protect her as best as I can."

Erming sneered, "You? Protect Sister Xiao Wu? You couldn't even defeat me."

Ghost Douluo interjected, "Maybe we can't match your strength one-on-one, but don't forget what we're best at. No matter how powerful you are, our fusion technique can hold you in place for minutes."

Xiao Wu laughed, "Alright, Daming, Erming, we're all allies now. Let's keep things friendly."

"Remember, when you join the human world, speak less, observe more, and don't reveal your identities. We'll teach you about human customs," she added, turning to Erming. "Especially you, Erming. I'm afraid your temper might get you into trouble."

Erming looked down sheepishly. "Sister Xiao Wu, to be fair, you weren't exactly a saint either. Back in the Star Dou Forest, Daming and I spent quite some time cleaning up after—"

Xiao Wu cut him off, face flushed. "Enough! Just don't be impulsive out there!"

She knew she'd matured since meeting Su Ming; his influence had softened her "big sister" tendencies.

After an hour, Su Ming completed the absorption process, reaching level 70. Now, he only needed a seventh spirit ring to become a Spirit Saint. He began considering his next move, deciding who would accompany him to Sea God Island.

"Are you all set, Brother?" Xiao Wu asked as Su Ming opened his eyes.

He patted her on the head, smiling. "Yes, time to head to the Breaking Clan's territory."

Turning to Daming and Erming, he added, "Since you're joining the human world, do you want new names? 'Daming' and 'Erming' don't exactly sound intimidating."

Daming replied with a calm nod, "We've thought about that. From now on, I'll go by 'Niu Tian,' and Erming will be called 'Titan.'"

"Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, you know where the Four Great Clans' territories are, right? Lead the way to the Breaking Clan," Su Ming instructed.
