Chapter 139: Zhang Lexuan's Breakthrough
"This contracted soul beast is indeed a good choice. We should also find an opportunity to buy one and nurture it in the future."
Huo Yuhao's eyes were filled with envy as he sighed.
He imagined the scene of having a contracted soul beast himself, and his heart was full of anticipation.
He Caitou waved the blueprint in his hand, a confident smile on his face as he said, "I've chosen a Level 5 soul guidance device blueprint. I'll study it when I get back. Maybe I can make even more powerful soul guidance devices."
He had a deep interest and talent for soul guidance devices, and this blueprint was undoubtedly a precious gift that he had to acquire.
Beibei then took out a soul bone that glowed with blue light, his eyes showing a hint of excitement.
"I got this soul bone. It allows me to transform into a dragon. It's somewhat similar to the soul bone inherited from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect from ten thousand years ago, but this soul bone is only eight thousand years old."
He carefully held the soul bone as if it were a priceless treasure.
After everyone shared their gains, they couldn't help but sigh. While the treasures in the Starry Auction Vault were great, they were simply too expensive.
Each item was worth an astronomical amount of gold soul coins. If they kept browsing, they feared they wouldn't be able to afford anything else.
Thus, everyone decided to look around a bit more before leaving. After all, their financial resources were limited, and they couldn't buy recklessly.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao suddenly heard the voice of Electrolux in his sea of consciousness. The voice was deep and mysterious: "Yuhao, buy a contracted soul beast. I want to study it."
Huo Yuhao was slightly stunned. Though he had some doubts, he trusted Electrolux's words.
To him, Electrolux was powerful and mysterious. Since Electrolux had made the request, there had to be a reason.
He nodded and replied in his heart, "Okay, I'll take care of it now."
However, Huo Yuhao checked his storage soul guide and found that his gold soul coins were running low. He could only afford to buy a relatively cheap contracted soul beast.
His brows furrowed, and a look of difficulty appeared on his face. His eyes were filled with helplessness.
Wang Dong, noticing his troubled expression, immediately understood his predicament. She took out some gold soul coins and smiled, saying, "Yuhao, take these, don't be polite!"
Her smile was warm and determined, as if she would always be by his side, no matter the difficulty.
Her actions filled Huo Yuhao with gratitude.
With Wang Dong's help, Huo Yuhao covered the gap and finally acquired a 5,000-year-old contracted soul beast.
Although the contracted soul beast wasn't particularly powerful, it had unique abilities.
Huo Yuhao believed that under Electrolux's study, it would be able to exert greater power.
On the other side, after Zhang Lexuan obtained the Cold Moon Essence, her heart was filled with a strong desire to break through. She couldn't wait to leave.
She hurriedly said goodbye to Ma Xiaotao and immediately rushed back to Shrek Academy.
Throughout the journey, she only had one thought in her mind: to quickly absorb the Cold Moon Essence, complete the evolution of her martial soul, and improve her strength.
She headed straight for the inner courtyard. When she arrived, she saw Elder Mu.
Elder Mu was sitting quietly in a chair, like a towering mountain, radiating a calm and powerful aura.
The aura felt like the power that had accumulated over the years, naturally evoking a sense of reverence.
Zhang Lexuan quickly approached and greeted him, "Elder Mu!"
Elder Mu looked at her kindly, his eyes full of concern as he asked, "Lexuan, why are you in such a hurry to return? Is there something wrong?"
He noticed Zhang Lexuan's unusual behavior and felt a little worried.
The concerned look in his eyes was entirely that of an elder caring for a junior.
Zhang Lexuan could not hide her excitement. Her face was flushed with joy as she quickly said, "Elder Mu, I obtained a treasure from the Starry Auction Vault—Cold Moon Essence. It can enhance my martial soul, and I plan to absorb it now!"
"After all, I'm not far from the Title Douluo realm, and I want to take this opportunity to break through today!"
Her words were full of anticipation and determination, every word showing her desire to improve her strength.
"Cold Moon Essence?"
Elder Mu's gaze sharpened, revealing a look of surprise, and his voice carried a hint of disbelief.
"I didn't expect that the Starry Auction Vault would have such a treasure! This is a big deal. I'll protect you while you absorb it to prevent any accidents."
He understood the value of Cold Moon Essence and the risks involved in the absorption process, so he decided to personally protect Zhang Lexuan.
Zhang Lexuan felt a warm current surge through her as she looked at him with gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Elder Mu!"
She knew that with Elder Mu protecting her, the chances of successfully absorbing the Cold Moon Essence were much higher.
This gratitude welled up in her heart like a tide, and she secretly swore that she would protect Shrek Academy in the future.
Zhang Lexuan then found a quiet place and sat cross-legged.
She took a deep breath and slowly took out the Cold Moon Essence.
The Cold Moon Essence emitted a soft glow, and a cool sensation spread from her arm throughout her body, as if she were standing in a world of ice and snow.
Her Crescent Moon Martial Soul also began to vibrate intensely, as if celebrating the upcoming evolution.
The light and aura felt like the most mysterious force in the world, guiding her martial soul toward a new realm.
Zhang Lexuan dared not be careless. She used her soul power carefully to guide the Cold Moon Essence's power into her martial soul.
Time passed second by second.
Each second was filled with tension and anticipation. The passing time was her ladder toward success.
Half an hour later.
"Boom!"
A powerful aura erupted from her body, like a surging wave, sweeping around her.
Zhang Lexuan's martial soul successfully evolved, and she was only one step away from the ultimate martial soul.
At the same time, she successfully broke through to the Title Douluo realm!
Sensing the aura, Elder Mu, who was guarding her, was full of joy. A proud smile appeared on his face as he praised, "Good! Good! Lexuan, I didn't expect you to have such an opportunity!"
He was genuinely happy for Zhang Lexuan's breakthrough, and his smile was full of pride.
He then took out a god-gifted soul ring that emitted mysterious light, with a look of encouragement and expectation in his eyes. "Lexuan, this is the god-gifted soul ring we obtained at the last auction. Now that you've broken through, you can absorb it and obtain another 100,000-year-old soul ring!"
The god-gifted soul ring in his hand shimmered with strange light, containing endless power.
Zhang Lexuan quickly shook her head and rejected it, saying hurriedly, "Elder Mu, this god-gifted soul ring is too precious. I can't accept it!"
She knew the value of the god-gifted soul ring and didn't dare to accept such a generous gift.
Elder Mu, however, unhesitatingly pushed the god-gifted soul ring into her hands and said firmly, "Take it! With your talent and opportunity, you will definitely be able to make the most of it!"
He believed that Zhang Lexuan had the ability to harness the power of the god-gifted soul ring and raise her strength to a new level.
