Seven months had passed in the stairwell space at this point. Zhu Zhuqing's soul power had broken through to the fortieth rank Soul Ancestor four months prior.
Because of the trials, Zhu Zhuqing's physique was now strong enough to absorb a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring.
Therefore, Qian Xunfeng directly used Divine Power to create a God-given Soul Ring for Zhu Zhuqing.
Now, Zhu Zhuqing was a forty-fourth rank Soul Ancestor. After successfully reaching the top and receiving the Divine Power feedback to enhance her Martial Soul, she would be, at minimum, a forty-sixth rank Soul Ancestor.
This was Qian Xunfeng's small reward for Zhu Zhuqing.
"Your Majesty, I am ready this time."
Adjusting herself to her best condition, a resolute fighting spirit flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's dark eyes. She could now successfully reach the nine hundred and second step.
If she could persevere this time, she would definitely reach the top.
"Alright, go ahead."
Qian Xunfeng nodded, opening the restrictions on the steps.
As Zhu Zhuqing stepped onto the stairs, the soul pressure of the first three hundred steps was negligible to her. She only started using her soul power to assist her at the four hundredth step, still using her body to withstand the pressure.
After the eight hundredth step, beads of sweat had already begun to form on Zhu Zhuqing's forehead. A pair of black cat ears sprouted from her head. At this moment, she had to go all out to resist the soul pressure, which was as strong as that of a seventy-ranked Soul Sage.
Each step she took consumed a large amount of Zhu Zhuqing's soul power and strength. At the nine hundredth step, her Blood Essence surged, and her legs were trembling slightly.
I can't fall. I still have goals to achieve, I can still go on.
The heavy sweating made Zhu Zhuqing's lips dry. Excessive dehydration made her feel dizzy, but she had come this far.
Zhu Zhuqing still gritted her teeth and continued to climb.
Nine hundred steps!
Reaching the nine hundredth step meant facing the imposing pressure of a Soul Douluo. Even though Zhu Zhuqing's current physique was comparable to a Soul Sage, she was still far from a Soul Douluo.
Exhausted, Zhu Zhuqing collapsed to the ground from lack of strength. However, she still managed to push herself up and climb step by step.
Nine hundred and thirty steps, nine hundred and forty steps…
When she reached the nine hundred and ninetieth step, Zhu Zhuqing could no longer stand. She knelt on the ground, her eyes dazed as she looked at the finish line, which was just within reach.
Gritting her teeth, she used her last bit of strength to climb upwards. The final step held the true pressure of a Title Douluo.
"The last step, the last step."
As her consciousness faded, Zhu Zhuqing used her last ounce of strength to cross the nine hundred and ninety-ninth step and reach the finish line.
"Did I succeed?"
After Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, she fainted from exhaustion.
Qian Xunfeng came to Zhu Zhuqing's side, picked up the unconscious Zhu Zhuqing, and casually treated her internal injuries before placing her on the bed.
I don't know how long passed, but Zhu Zhuqing slowly woke up from her coma. Looking at Qian Xunfeng beside the bed, she remembered the matter of ascending the steps and anxiously sat up, asking, "Your Majesty the Pope, may I ask if I finally passed the assessment?"
Seeing the eagerness in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes to know the result, Qian Xunfeng was too lazy to hide anything and immediately said, "Your performance was good. You reached the top."
"Great!"
Zhu Zhuqing burst into tears of joy after getting the result and plopped back onto the bed, only then realizing her whole body was aching.
"Then, what is that special mark?"
Because her First Trial hadn't passed yet, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Qian Xunfeng with some curiosity, asking inquisitively.
"The special mark is my acknowledgment. You've passed. Take a look at the reward for your first trial."
Seemingly thinking of the reward he'd set, Qian Xunfeng revealed a playful smile. After all, after his special training, Zhu Zhuqing looked absolutely alluring.
"Passed?"
Not long after, Zhu Zhuqing did indeed hear a clear, ethereal voice in her ear.
"The Speed God's First Trial complete. Rewards: All Soul Ring lifespans increased by three thousand years; Martial Soul evolved once; Qian Xunfeng's special treatment plan one time."
With the ethereal voice fading, Zhu Zhuqing was pleasantly surprised to find that all of her Soul Rings had increased by three thousand years in lifespan, and her Martial Soul had also evolved into the Netherworld Shadow Cat, which was terrifying.
"But Pope, what does that special treatment plan mean?"
Seemingly thinking of an additional special reward, Zhu Zhuqing asked Qian Xunfeng, her cheeks slightly flushed.
After all, which young girl doesn't long for love, especially in Douluo Continent, where the love-struck mindset was most prevalent. After several months of being together, Zhu Zhuqing's affection for Qian Xunfeng had reached almost 80 percent.
"Lie down, I'm just helping you relax."
Qian Xunfeng helped Zhu Zhuqing lie on the bed. Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, who was only wearing a layer of purple gauze, there was no lust in his eyes, only appreciation for art.
He pinched her, and couldn't help but exclaim from the bottom of his heart, as expected of the body I meticulously trained, it's simply perfect.
Her already bouncy skin, after Qian Xunfeng's continuous training, became even more supple, plump, and smooth.
"Your Majesty the Pope, is this the treatment?"
Feeling the soreness and comfort in her thighs, Zhu Zhuqing turned her head shyly, her face flushed, and said to Qian Xunfeng.
Inside, she was more embarrassed, and with a trace of expectation. This was the first time she had done something so exciting since she was a child.
"Relax."
Qian Xunfeng soothed Zhu Zhuqing.
He placed his hands on Zhu Zhuqing's fleshy feet and began to massage them.
"Mmm~ Ah~"
The slight pain and the tingling sensation of pleasure gave Zhu Zhuqing a feeling she had never experienced before. She kept wanting to twist her body, but Qian Xunfeng held her steady.
As Qian Xunfeng continued to massage, Zhu Zhuqing already felt a bit lightheaded, her whole body feeling lazy and weak.
She made comfortable sounds of enjoyment, so much so that she didn't even notice the saliva running down her face.
Qian Xunfeng was only massaging; he didn't make any other moves. After all, Zhu Zhuqing had just finished training, and doing anything too extreme wouldn't be good for her body right now.
Besides, he wasn't that desperate, he just liked to find a little fun.
"Your Majesty, I'm so sleepy."
After her massage, Zhu Zhuqing, relaxed, felt sleepy, and said in a languid, low voice to Qian Xunfeng.
"Rest well."
Qian Xunfeng glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, then looked at her sleeping beauty and the hint of a smile on her lips before leaving, satisfied.
Leaving the room, Qian Xunfeng considered how to arrange the remaining members of Shrek Academy. He had captured Zhu Zhuqing, leaving five of the Shrek Seven Devils.
However, he heard from Xiao Lan that Yu Tianheng was preparing to join Shrek Academy, which would make up for the empty spot. Afterwards, he would think about how to better arrange Tang San and the others.
He wanted them to fall into the Dark Side faster, or to merge with it.
Currently, only those with great fortune from the Dark Side could come to the main world. After all, the Shrek Seven Devils, Qian Renxue, and Bibi Dong all had a Dark Side body.
However, Qian Renxue and Xiao Wu had already been placed under a restriction by him, and would die if the Dark Side approached. The Dark Side's Hei Dong was locked up and toyed with by Bibi Dong.
Zhu Zhuqing had also successfully met the Dark Side, accelerating the progress by 5%. Only Tang San and the other four remained.
As long as these five and the Dark Side merged, or one devoured the other, the Dark Side's arrival could be accelerated, and he could also complete the Eighth Trial.
"Heh heh heh, Tang San, there's still more fun to come."
