Halfway up the mountain, that magnificent, golden building is the Papal Palace.
Inside the palace.
A woman wearing a nine-curved purple-gold crown and a magnificent black robe inlaid with gold patterns, exuding nobility and maturity, leaned against a jeweled chair at the top of the jade steps.
It was Pope Bibidon.
She lowered her eyes and listened quietly to the reports from the two people kneeling below.
A person dressed in white, with a bewitching face.
The other person next to him was a blurry black shadow, and his true appearance was not visible.
These two were none other than Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei.
"Your Majesty, all the original members in the Lingfeng City branch have been wiped out, and the Fallen forces hiding in the city have also been eradicated. The casualties and losses of our Soul Masters are minimal and can be ignored."
The ghostly voice was hoarse and deep, giving people a chilling feeling.
"Hmm." Bibi Dong nodded gently, then turned to look at Yue Guan.
Yue Guan lowered his head slightly and quickly said, "Your Majesty, the news has already spread, and there are many different opinions about it. I believe it won't be long before people forget about it."
His voice was high-pitched and thin, sounding very much like a woman's voice.
After a brief silence, Bibi Dong, seated high above, spoke softly, her voice calm yet imposing.
"Elder Ju, Elder Gui, you have done a great job, thank you for your hard work. The new members sent to guard the Linfeng City branch must be strictly screened, and such a thing must not happen again. I will have to trouble you two to put some effort into screening the members. Afterwards, I will personally reward you two."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" the two said respectfully.
"By the way, among the commoners who awakened this year, are there any talents worth cultivating?"
"Your Majesty, aside from those in Linfeng City, there aren't many commoners with innate soul power this year. The martial souls they awakened are all the most ordinary and common ones. A few with slightly higher innate soul power have also chosen to join our Spirit Hall."
"That's excellent. The Spirit Hall needs the addition of this fresh blood."
Bibi Dong nodded slightly, shifting her position in her seat and continuing to prop her head up with her hand. "Although the possibility is slim, if a once-in-a-millennium genius truly emerges in Linfeng City, report to me immediately and at the same time, do everything in your power to recruit him into the Spirit Hall! But what if he refuses?"
Her voice turned cold as she finished speaking, glancing at Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo: "You know what to do. Alright, you two may leave."
"Yes!"
Night falls
Winchester, Seven Treasures Inn
Room Bathroom
"hiss!"
He could be heard gasping for breath coming from inside.
Dongfang Jing injured his arms and shoulders in Sunset Forest, making it extremely inconvenient for him to perform some large movements, such as rubbing his back.
Any movement will aggravate the wound.
Looking at his reflection in the bathroom mirror, wrapped in white bandages, he recalled the scene of absorbing the spirit ring.
Although the absorption process was excruciating for him.
But after suppressing and stabilizing that violent soul power, apart from changes in his height and skeletal structure, he also felt extremely comfortable.
At the same time, the wounds on his body had actually healed a little.
Otherwise, with that amount of blood loss, he wouldn't have been able to leave the forest alive.
As the saying goes, high risk, high reward.
Dongfang Jing absorbed a spirit ring beyond his level, greatly increasing his strength.
Not only did his soul power break through to level 17 in one go, but he also enhanced his control over his martial soul.
His first soul skill is called 'Sharpening'.
It also features instant bursts of speed, rapid acceleration, and low soul power consumption.
If Dongfang Jing uses soul skills, his mirror image can also use them.
The combination of the two is enough to produce an effect greater than the sum of its parts!
"Heh, if it weren't for that Hall of Ten Thousand Mirrors, I would have already perished in the jaws of a leopard, and there would be no way I would be here today," the young man chuckled, somewhat self-deprecatingly.
Then I stopped thinking about those things and focused on taking a bath.
However, he was shocked to find that a crack had appeared on his palm.
The shape of the crack is like that of a perfectly intact mirror, but with a corner that has been hit by a stone.
Then, fine, spiderweb-like cracks will spread across the surface of the mirror.
Dongfang Jing rubbed his eyes.
Upon closer inspection, there were no cracks at all.
Am I seeing things?
Just then, the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open.
The boy was startled and instinctively became alert, covering his private parts.
I was so careless; I completely forgot to lock the door!
Turning his head, he saw Dongfang Yao and lowered his guard.
She carefully pushed the door open a crack.
"what happened?"
"Brother, let me rub your back."
The sensible little girl warmed Dongfang Jing's heart.
Indeed, his current condition is very inconvenient.
So he didn't refuse and laughed, "Okay, I'll rub you after you're done."
"Mmm." The little girl's voice was soft and sweet.
Dongfang Jing was an orphan in his previous life, and in this life he has finally experienced the joy of having a younger sister.
"However, I've heard that little sisters all call each other 'brother' when they're little, then 'hey' when they get a bit older, and finally, when they're adults, they call out with a look of disgust, 'Old Deng, give me some coins'?"
Thinking of that scene, Dongfang Jing straightened his back.
That would be terrible.
but
He looked up at the petite figure in the mirror, diligently scrubbing his back, and Dongfang Jing's lips curled into a slight smile.
Ok.
My Yao'er will definitely not turn out like that.
Wow!
A basin of warm water was poured on the boy's back, washing away the mud.
"Brother, it's my turn."
"Go and warm yourself up in the bath first."
"Ah."
Dongfang Yao jumped directly into the bathtub, floating comfortably on the water, humming a song.
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star~"
Chapter 12 Hall of Mirrors: New Ability! Shadow of the Cheetah
next morning
Dongfang Jing woke up from his sleep.
He was greeted by a pristine white ceiling and an opulent chandelier, and the unfamiliar environment made him feel somewhat out of place.
Moreover, he felt some difficulty breathing.
He lifted the blanket and found that Dongfang Yao was asleep, lying on his chest and abdomen.
No wonder I dreamt last night that I didn't die from a leopard's jaws, but instead was crushed by a small mountain and couldn't breathe.
"Ugh"
With a soft sigh, he gently picked up his sister and carefully placed her back on the pillow.
After washing up, Dongfang Jing prepared to go out for exercise, a habit he had developed over the years.
It was this habit that made him physically stronger than his peers.
'Wait a minute, I almost forgot.'
While changing his shoes, he suddenly thought, why not make the most of everything?
Inside the Hall of a Thousand Mirrors.
Dongfang Jing finished her daily physical training.
Here, the land stretched endlessly, with no end in sight, so he decided to stay and train there.
His breathing gradually calmed down. He looked around and pressed his temples.
To his surprise, the enormous drain on his mental energy seemed to have lessened considerably, and his body no longer felt the pain of being cut by millions of shattered mirrors.
After a moment of contemplation, Dongfang Jing quickly figured out the reason.
"Is it because I absorbed a spirit ring and my spirit power increased?"
After his soul power was enhanced, his overall strength improved significantly in all aspects.
In addition, it is the first ring in a thousand years.
Dongfang Jing discovered that he seemed to be able to adjust everything in the Hall of Ten Thousand Mirrors with his own will.
He immediately began to try it.
