Kapitel 50: Chapter 50: Level 79 Soul Saint—Zhu Zhuqing
"I'd rather not have a god position and grow old with you," Zhu Zhuqing said, her eyes filled with tears as she tightly held Zhou Chen's hand.
"Silly girl," Zhou Chen murmured, his own eyes turning red.
People aren't unfeeling; who can be without emotion? Though he had always prioritized benefits over feelings, Zhu Zhuqing's deep love shook him.
Back on Earth, Zhou Chen had become callous after witnessing too much. He believed that apart from blood relatives, there was no true affection in the world, only feigned interest based on benefits.
Thus, after crossing into the Douluo Continent, he used every means to develop his power, gather talent, and eliminate enemies as if they were nothing, employing countless schemes.
But faced with Zhu Zhuqing's unwavering devotion, Zhou Chen wavered.
It turned out that true love did exist in the world; he just hadn't met the right person.
"Zhuqing, take it. Don't worry about me. For you, I will become a god, and we'll be together forever," Zhou Chen promised, making his second vow in life.
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, her voice tinged with tears, "No, you take it. I'm not smart, and my talent is far inferior to yours. The chance of becoming a god is slim, and giving the god position to me is almost a waste."
Tears welled up as she raised a delicate hand to caress Zhou Chen's cheek, "Compared to myself, I want to see you become an immortal god. I only hope that, thousands of years from now, you'll still remember a girl named Zhu Zhuqing who loved you."
Hearing this, Zhou Chen covered Zhu Zhuqing's hand on his cheek with his own, shedding his first tear in six years.
They say travelers don't cry, but today, he couldn't help it.
Closing his eyes to squeeze out the tears, Zhou Chen realized that persuasion alone wouldn't get Zhu Zhuqing to take the God King gem.
Resolute, Zhou Chen suddenly cupped Zhu Zhuqing's chin with one hand, forcing her mouth open, and with the other hand, he placed the God King gem into her mouth.
As a gem containing the Shadow God King's bloodline, it was a creation of rules.
Thus, as soon as the gem entered Zhu Zhuqing's mouth, it transformed into God King blood infused with shadow rules and merged into her body, giving her no time to spit it out.
"You..."
"Zhuqing, close your eyes and focus, channel your soul power, and don't let the God King gem go to waste!!"
Zhou Chen's stern command calmed Zhu Zhuqing instantly. The die was cast; her only choice was to fully refine the Shadow God King's bloodline, honoring Zhou Chen's deep love.
So, Zhu Zhuqing closed her eyes tightly, concentrating on controlling the changes in her soul power.
"Boom!"
At that moment, black and white flames erupted from Zhu Zhuqing's body, so intense that Zhou Chen had to retreat to the door!
The flames distorted the surrounding space, causing the bed, stone table, and floor to become covered in twisted space before gradually disappearing!
"Space distortion, Dou Zong level?"
Seeing this, Zhou Chen couldn't help but blurt out a famous line from Earth's internet.
Next, two yellow soul rings rose from Zhu Zhuqing's feet, and her soul power began to surge rapidly!
The Shadow God King's bloodline contained immense energy, enough to elevate Zhu Zhuqing by dozens of levels even with a small portion absorbed.
27th level, 28th level... Zhu Zhuqing's soul power surged up to the 30th level before stalling.
Because she didn't have a third soul ring!
This left Zhou Chen a bit disappointed. If Zhu Zhuqing's strength increased significantly, it would mean his strength increased too. After all, their bond was one of life and death.
However, just as Zhou Chen thought the bloodline fusion had ended, a third purple millennium soul ring rose from Zhu Zhuqing's feet!
Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing's soul power soared again, rocketing from the 31st to the 40th level in less than half a minute!!
As Zhou Chen stood dumbfounded, something even more astonishing happened!
A fourth purple soul ring rose as well!!
Subsequently, Zhu Zhuqing's soul power surged again, breaking through to the 50th level.
When Zhou Chen saw a fifth black ten-thousand-year soul ring appear, he finally couldn't help but ask, "System, what's going on?"
"Ding... The Shadow God King's bloodline can harness dark matter, which constitutes over 95% of the known universe's mass. Thus, Zhu Zhuqing can freely manipulate dark matter, transforming it into dark energy to manifest soul rings!"
Zhou Chen: "..."
He recalled having to purchase soul rings from the system, with prices often in the millions or tens of millions of gold soul coins!
Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing could harness dark energy to manifest soul rings, producing them for her own use, a self-sufficient service!!
This must be what they call a fool's luck.
Of course, as the saying goes, there's no gain without pain. While the Shadow Bloodline can harness dark energy, its bloodline strength is far inferior to the Xuanyuan Bloodline. Thus, Zhu Zhuqing could only bear millennium purple rings and ten-thousand-year black rings, and couldn't have a million-year god-level ring as Zhou Chen did from the start.
In other words, Zhu Zhuqing's Shadow Bloodline had the advantage of limitless energy, but a low upper limit and weak physical strength.
In contrast, Zhou Chen's Xuanyuan Bloodline had an extremely high upper limit, explosive power, making defeating higher-level enemies as easy as eating or drinking, but its drawback was a lack of endurance, often exhausting after one or two moves.
However, if they could develop a martial soul fusion skill together, they might achieve both endless energy and powerful bursts!
At that point, no one on the Douluo Continent might be their match.
"Zhou Chen, what are you daydreaming about?"
Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing's voice pulled Zhou Chen back to reality from his fantasies.
And then, he was stunned.
Zhu Zhuqing now had even darker hair, eyes as bright as the moon, a cooler face, and was half a head taller than Zhou Chen. She looked like a lofty, cold lunar goddess.
Of course, the slight changes in appearance weren't the most shocking.
What truly stunned Zhou Chen were the two yellow, two purple, and three black soul rings rhythmically moving around Zhu Zhuqing's body, a total of seven soul rings!
"Soul Saint..."
Zhou Chen closed his eyes and opened them again, confirming that what he saw wasn't an illusion.
"What, are you mesmerized?"
Zhu Zhuqing waved a hand in front of Zhou Chen's face, then opened her arms and embraced him.
Holding Zhou Chen tightly, Zhu Zhuqing whispered in his ear, "I'm now a level 79 Soul Saint. From now on, I'll protect you. As long as I'm alive, I won't let anyone harm you."
