Chapter 50 Level Seventy-Nine Spirit Sage—Zhu Zhuqing
"I would rather not have any God Position and accompany you to grow old slowly together."
Holding Zhou Chen's hand tightly, Zhu Zhuqing spoke with teary eyes.
"Silly girl."
Zhou Chen spoke slowly, the rims of his eyes gradually turning red.
Humans are not grass or trees; who can be without emotion? He, who had always prioritized interests over feelings, could not help but feel a bit flustered in his heart at this moment.
When he was on Earth, Zhou Chen had long since become cold-hearted because he had seen too much. At that time, he felt that apart from blood relatives, there was no true affection in this world, only fake intentions based on interests.
Therefore, after transmigrating to the Douluo Continent, he developed his forces by fair means or foul, gathered talents, killed enemies like slaughtering chickens, and his schemes and plots emerged one after another.
But facing Zhu Zhuqing's deep affection of following him in life and death, Zhou Chen wavered.
It turned out that there is true affection in the human world; it was just that he had not met the right person.
"Zhuqing, take it. Do not worry about me; for you, I will definitely become a God, and we will be together for all eternity."
Zhou Chen gazed at Zhu Zhuqing and made the second promise of his life.
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and said with a sobbing tone, "No, you take it. My brain is stupid, and my talent is much worse than yours. The probability of becoming a God is very small; inheriting the God Position to me is almost equivalent to wasting it."
Speaking of this, Zhu Zhuqing shed even more tears. She raised a slender hand, gently stroked Zhou Chen's cheek, and slowly said, "Compared to myself, I want to see you become a God and gain eternal life even more. I only hope that after tens of thousands of years, you will still remember that there was a girl who loved you, named Zhu Zhuqing."
Hearing these words, Zhou Chen reached out to cover Zhu Zhuqing's soft hand that was stroking his cheek, shedding his first tear in six years.
It is said that transmigrators have no tears, but today, he really could not hold it back.
Closing his eyes and squeezing out the tears within them, Zhou Chen knew that relying solely on persuasion today would make it impossible to get Zhu Zhuqing to swallow this God King gem.
Steeling his heart, Zhou Chen suddenly pinched Zhu Zhuqing's chin with one hand, squeezing hard to force her mouth open. Then, with his other hand, he sent the God King gem directly into her small mouth.
As a gem harboring the bloodline of the Shadow God King, it was originally a creation of laws.
Therefore, as soon as the gem entered Zhu Zhuqing's mouth, it turned into a stream of God King blood carrying shadow laws and merged into her body, giving her absolutely no time to spit it out.
"You..."
"Zhuqing, close your eyes and focus, circulate your spirit power, and do not let this God King gem go to waste!!"
Zhou Chen's shout made Zhu Zhuqing calm down immediately. The deed was done; the only thing she could do was to thoroughly refine the bloodline of the Shadow God King so as not to let down Zhou Chen's true feelings.
Thus, Zhu Zhuqing immediately closed her eyes tightly and attentively controlled the changes in the spirit power within her body.
"Boom!"
The next moment, black and white flames suddenly surged from the surface of Zhu Zhuqing's body. This stream of flames was so tyrannical that Zhou Chen had to retreat, retreating all the way to the doorway!
Because this black and white flame actually caused the surrounding space to begin twisting!
Immediately after, the entire bed, the stone table beside it, and the ground were covered by the twisted space, and then gradually disappeared from the room!
"Space distortion, a Dou Ancestor powerhouse?" [Note: This quote is from Battle Through the Heavens.]
Seeing this scene, Zhou Chen could not help but blurt out a famous quote from the internet on Earth.
Immediately after, two yellow Spirit Rings began to rise slowly from under Zhu Zhuqing's feet, and her spirit power also began to grow rapidly!
The bloodline of the Shadow God King contained a very massive amount of energy. Even absorbing just a small part was enough for Zhu Zhuqing to rise many levels in a row.
Level twenty-seven, level twenty-eight... When it rose all the way to level thirty, Zhu Zhuqing's spirit power suddenly stagnated.
Because she did not have a third Spirit Ring!
This made Zhou Chen feel somewhat regretful. If Zhu Zhuqing's strength increased greatly, it would be equivalent to his strength increasing greatly. After all, the affection between him and Zhu Zhuqing had already reached the level of following each other in life and death.
However, just when Zhou Chen thought this bloodline fusion was over, a third Spirit Ring actually rose from beneath Zhu Zhuqing's feet, a purple thousand-year Spirit Ring!
Instantly, Zhu Zhuqing's spirit power surged again violently. Like riding a rocket, she went from level thirty-one to level forty in less than half a minute!
Just as Zhou Chen was dumbfounded, something even more exaggerated occurred!
He saw a fourth Spirit Ring, also a purple Spirit Ring, slowly rising!
Subsequently, Zhu Zhuqing's spirit power surged wildly again, breaking through to level fifty.
When Zhou Chen saw the fifth Spirit Ring, a black ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring, appear, he finally could not help but ask, "System, what is going on?"
"Ding... The Shadow God King bloodline can master dark matter, and dark matter occupies more than ninety-five percent of the mass of the known universe. Therefore, Zhu Zhuqing can mobilize dark matter without limit, convert it into dark energy, and condense Spirit Rings for herself!"
Zhou Chen: "..."
Thinking about how he had to buy Spirit Rings from the System to obtain them, with prices easily reaching millions or tens of millions of Gold Spirit Coins!
Yet Zhu Zhuqing could actually mobilize dark energy to condense Spirit Rings, producing and using them herself in a one-stop service!
This was probably a case of a foolish girl having foolish luck.
Of course, as the saying goes, every advantage has its disadvantages. Although the Shadow bloodline could utilize dark energy, its bloodline intensity was far inferior to the Xuan Yuan bloodline.
Therefore, Zhu Zhuqing could only withstand purple thousand-year Spirit Rings and black ten-thousand-year Spirit Rings, and could not be like Zhou Chen, whose first Spirit Ring was a million-year God-level Spirit Ring.
In other words, the advantage of Zhu Zhuqing's Shadow bloodline was endless energy, but the upper limit was low, and physical strength was low.
On the other hand, the characteristics of Zhou Chen's Xuan Yuan bloodline were an extremely high upper limit and extremely strong explosive power, making killing enemies above his level as easy as eating and drinking. However, the disadvantage was insufficient endurance, often leaving him exhausted after using one or two moves.
However, if the two of them could develop a Spirit Fusion Skill that belonged to them, perhaps they would possess both endless energy and powerful explosive ability!
At that time, there would likely be no one on the entire Douluo Continent who could match them.
"Zhou Chen, why are you spacing out?"
Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing's voice sounded, pulling Zhou Chen back to reality from his fantasies.
Then, he was stunned.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful hair was even more pitch-black, and her eyes were as bright as the moon. Her pretty face was even colder, and she stood half a head taller than Zhou Chen, making her look as noble, cold, and glamorous as the Goddess of the Moon.
Of course, the slight changes in appearance were nothing.
What truly dumbfounded Zhou Chen was the total of seven Spirit Rings—two yellow, two purple, and three black—moving rhythmically up and down over Zhu Zhuqing's body!
"Soul Saint..."
Zhou Chen closed his eyes again and reopened them, finding that what he saw was not an illusion.
"What, are you stunned?"
Zhu Zhuqing waved her hand in front of Zhou Chen, then opened her arms and embraced Zhou Chen into her bosom.
Zhu Zhuqing hugged Zhou Chen tightly and whispered in his ear, "I am now already a level seventy-nine Soul Saint. From now on, it will be up to me to protect you. As long as I am still alive, I will not let anyone hurt you."
