Chapter 46: Level 95 Titled Douluo, Fu Ze!
"As long as the 'Seed of Life' he left behind in advance is not destroyed, a glimmer of hope remains for his divine soul to reside within it, allowing him to slowly recover through the majestic vitality!"
"This is also one of the reasons why I risked my life to take you away!"
"Your Blue Silver Emperor martial soul also possesses the ultimate life attribute, and shares the same origin as the Young Master!"
"Only by staying by your side, utilizing the aura of your martial soul and the life energy fed back by your growth, can that 'Seed of Life' be nourished to the greatest extent, accelerating the Young Master's recovery process!"
He looked at Tang San with a steadfast gaze: "Therefore, Young Master Tang, you absolutely cannot break down now!
You must live on, and you must become stronger!
"Your growth is directly related to the hope of the Young Master's return!!"
"Seed of Life... recovery... my martial soul..."
The Tang San in the simulation muttered and repeated those words. In his deathly still eyes, a faint spark of light called hope was re-ignited.
Although grief still weighed as heavy as a mountain, having a clear goal and direction finally allowed a glimmer of hope and life to replace the crushing despair.
He stood up unsteadily, wiped the tear stains from his face, and looked at Fu Ze. His voice was hoarse yet firm: "Uncle Fu, where do we go next? What do I need to do?"
A flash of gratification and determination crossed Fu Ze's eyes: "First, we leave the Star Dou Great Forest and head to an absolutely safe place.
I will tell you all the details I know regarding the Young Master's recovery, as well as the preparations you need to make.
For a long time to come, we may need to... stay incognito."
The dialogue between the two gradually faded, and their figures quickly disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.
Meanwhile, Tang San, who was watching from the sidelines, finally reached the absolute limit of his mental endurance under the severe emotional impact of great sorrow turning into great joy--experiencing the ultimate grief of his master's "demise," followed by the massive twist of hearing that his master still had hope of resurrection.
[Detected that the observer's emotional fluctuations have exceeded the stability threshold. The simulation process has been forcibly terminated.]
[The third simulation deduction has ended.]
A familiar feeling of detachment washed over him, and all the scenes before his eyes quickly blurred and dissolved like a faded painting.
In reality, inside Notting Academy.
Tang San abruptly snapped his eyes open, panting heavily. His forehead was covered in cold sweat, his heart was still pounding wildly, and cold, undried tear stains even remained on his cheeks.
Everything in the simulation--especially the final admonitions and touch from Fu Shiyan's avatar before dissipating, as well as the single ray of hope emerging from absolute desperation--had felt far too real and shocking. The emotional impact was so intense that he found it difficult to calm down for a moment.
"Master... Xiao Wu... Father... Seed of Life... recovery..."
He muttered these few keywords in a low voice. The heart that was originally heavy with sorrow due to his master's "sacrifice" in the simulation was gradually replaced by a heavy sense of responsibility and urgency.
He clenched his fists tightly.
The path ahead was destined to be covered in thorns and surrounded by powerful enemies.
He had to become stronger, faster!
"Spirit Hall..."
A cold light flickered in Tang San's eyes as he carved this name deeply into the depths of his soul.
At the same time, far away in a residence within Notting City, a system prompt echoed in Fu Shiyan's mind, making his blood boil with excitement.
Fu Shiyan, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth curving upward in an irrepressible smile.
In his mind, the system's prompt sounded as melodious as heavenly music:
[The third simulation deduction has ended.]
[Observer Tang San's degree of recognition and emotional resonance toward the 'future' has broken through the peak threshold!]
[Trust, reliance, and filial affection toward the character 'Fu Shiyan' have reached a completely new height!]
[Comprehensive Settlement: Gained 2,280,000 Faith Points!]
[Current Total Faith Point Balance: 3,100,000 points!]
Three million one hundred thousand Faith Points!
Even though Fu Shiyan had anticipated a lot, his heart still skipped a beat at this number.
It was truly worth his meticulous design of this "heart-wrenching" melodrama; Tang San's emotional value was indeed astonishing!
However, looking at this enormous number, he calmed down immediately.
The plan had to be executed right away.
"System, bring up Fu Ze's character template and the manifestation blueprint for the second martial soul, the Abyssal Destruction Halberd. Calculate the optimal Faith Point consumption."
The system interface responded rapidly, listing the details:
[Manifestation Project: Fu Ze (Level 95 Titled Douluo)]
· Cultivation increase (Level 0 to 95) and standard soul ring configuration (Yellow, Purple, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red): Approx. 1,650,000 Faith Points · Bestowal of the 'Destruction Heavenly Gang Halberd' martial soul and infusion of Halberd Grandmaster knowledge: Approx. 400,000 Faith Points · Brand of Loyalty (Absolute loyalty to the host) & Implantation of relevant memories (Background as a collateral branch of the Fu family, guarding the Young Master, etc.): Approx. 200,000 Faith Points · Character physicalization and initial state adjustment: Approx. 150,000 Faith Points · Subtotal: Approx. 2,400,000 Faith Points
[Manifestation Project: Second Martial Soul 'Abyssal Destruction Halberd' (Host's own)]
· Bestowal of martial soul origin and adaptation to the host: (Note: The host has already acquired five hundred-thousand-year soul rings through simulation hints, but actual manifestation requires the consumption of corresponding Faith Points. Currently, Faith Points are insufficient, so only the martial soul bestowal can be completed; soul rings must be added later.) · Subtotal: Approx. 550,000 Faith Points
[Total Faith Points required for consumption: Approx. 2,950,000 Faith Points] [Current Faith Point Balance: 3,100,000 Faith Points] [Estimated remaining after manifestation: Approx. 150,000 Faith Points]
Looking at this plan that would almost completely deplete his current harvest, Fu Shiyan did not hesitate in the slightest.
"Confirm manifestation! Execute immediately!"
[Command confirmed! Beginning synchronous manifestation of Fu Ze's physical entity and the host's second martial soul 'Abyssal Destruction Halberd' origin...]
[Consuming 2,950,000 Faith Points!]
[Manifestation beginning...]
The surging power of the system descended once again.
A portion of it flooded into Fu Shiyan's body, quietly constructing a miniature, purplish-black halberd phantom that radiated an aura of destruction and thunder deep within the palm of his left hand, binding itself to his soul.
Although there were no soul rings yet, that feeling of bloodline connection and effortless control had already been born.
Even more power surged and condensed in the empty space on the other side of the room, outlining the silhouette of a tall, straight, middle-aged man with a resolute face and eyes as sharp as the tip of a halberd.
His aura rose rapidly from nothing, eventually stabilizing at the vast, sea-like level of ninety-five. Dressed in tight-fitting black clothes, he stood silently, looking like a battle halberd capable of piercing the sky at any moment.
After a moment, the light dissipated.
Fu Ze dropped to one knee and lowered his head to Fu Shiyan, his voice steady and powerful: "Fu Ze pays respects to the Young Master."
Feeling the dormant second martial soul in the palm of his left hand and looking at this freshly minted, absolutely loyal Level 95 Titled Douluo bodyguard and subordinate in front of him, a satisfied smile appeared on Fu Shiyan's face.
Although his Faith Points had shrunk once again to a mere one hundred and fifty thousand, a crucial second martial soul plus a top-tier enforcer capable of running rampant across the continent made this investment entirely worth it!
"Rise, Fu Ze."
