"Is this what it means to be a quasi-god?" Yali slowly stood up, feeling the thick soul power within her body, and her heart was filled with joy.
She never imagined that she would have the day to become a quasi-god, and what was more surprising was how soon that day had come.
Yali turned to look at Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai. Leng Yulai had also successfully broken through to quasi-god status, but his body was still undergoing transformation into a divine form.
Xia Yi was also sitting cross-legged in meditation, cultivating.
Xia Yi had absorbed a portion of the Genesis Force, and now, with the energy tides brought by the four quasi-gods' guiding lights, his soul power fluctuations were rapidly increasing.
"Level 70." Yali swallowed, staring at Xia Yi's soul power, which was pushing towards breaking through to Soul Sage.
With his spiritual power at the Spirit Domain realm and his soul power reaching level 70, Xia Yi seemed to be only around 17 years old.
At this rate, Xia Yi would have no problem becoming a Title Douluo before he turned 20.
Let's not forget, Xia Yi had Spirit Domain-level spiritual power.
With God-Origin-level spiritual power, Xia Yi would not face any bottlenecks before breaking through his limits.
It could be seen that, under the influence of Xia Yi's Spirit Domain-level spiritual power, the surrounding energy was converging toward him in overwhelming waves.
"So much energy, and he still hasn't broken through?" Yali was surprised as she watched Xia Yi. She felt as if his body were like a black hole, constantly absorbing the surrounding energy. With this much energy, not only should he be able to break through to Soul Sage, but it should be enough to even break through to Title Douluo.
Yet, his soul power remained stuck at the edge of Soul Sage, unable to break through.
"He's not... he's condensing his soul core," Yali suddenly stood up. To condense a soul core was something that could only be done when breaking through to Soul Sage. In Shrek Academy's records, this was something that the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao achieved a thousand years ago.
"Xia Yi, have you thought this through? You must condense your soul core when breaking through to Title Douluo or Limit Douluo. If you condense your soul core now, you will need three soul cores to become a Limit Douluo later," Yali shouted, knowing Xia Yi could hear her. "Condensing the soul core gets harder with each one. If you give up now and don't condense a soul core, you can form a soul power vortex inside you, and your cultivation speed won't be much slower, and it won't affect your future breakthroughs."
But Xia Yi ignored Yali's advice and continued to focus on condensing his soul core.
"Forget it, with your talent, it's not below Spirit Ice Douluo. He could do it, and you can too." Seeing that Xia Yi wouldn't listen, Yali raised her hand to stop him, but then slowly lowered it.
"Yali!" Long Yeyue suddenly appeared. After her breakthrough to quasi-god, she no longer looked as old and frail as before; she now looked much younger.
Of course, it was just compared to how she looked when she was around 80 or 90 years old, so she looked younger, but still much older than the other women present.
With her age, unless she became a god, she could not look as youthful as Yali and Leng Yaozhu, who appeared to be in their twenties, full of youthful vitality.
Now she appeared to be in her fifties, much younger than before.
Looking at Yali and Leng Yaozhu, Long Yeyue couldn't help but feel envious. Now, the three women not only had the purity and charm of twenty-something girls but also had the body and allure of women in their thirties.
It was something any woman would envy.
"If the plan of the Plane Lord succeeds, I will be one of the greatest contributors. Then I can become a god and look like this too," Long Yeyue thought to herself.
"Yuejie, congratulations, you finally broke through to quasi-god!" Yali was very happy to see Long Yeyue break through to quasi-god, though she instinctively stood in front of Xia Yi.
Now that Xia Yi and Leng Yaozhu were cultivating, if Long Yeyue made a move, the consequences would be unthinkable.
"Yali, I came to tell you something. The military training for Mu Lin and the others went wrong," Long Yeyue said solemnly.
"Went wrong? What's the problem?" Yali's face changed.
"It was caused by the energy tide earlier. The lustful old demon's energy was affected by it, and now Mu Lin and the others are all being corrupted by the power of lust. I need you to go rescue them," Long Yeyue said anxiously. "Although it's not deadly, if they do something wrong, I'm afraid it will be worse than death."
"What!" Yali's face darkened. If she didn't check on them, there might be uncontrollable consequences.
But if she went, what would happen if Long Yeyue attacked Xia Yi and Leng Yaozhu?
"Yali, I know what you're worried about. I'll go with you," Long Yeyue said.
"Okay." Yali raised her hand, and a beam of holy light surrounded Xia Yi and Leng Yaozhu to protect them.
Although this holy light couldn't stop an attack from a quasi-god, if someone attacked, she would sense it immediately and come to their rescue.
After doing this, Yali quickly followed Long Yeyue to a cave.
The cave was dimly lit, and pink gas filled the air, making it barely possible to see anything clearly.
Moans echoed in the cave as Yali quickly spotted many Shrek Academy students.
Tang Wulin, Lin Pingzhi, Xu Xiaoyan, Wu Sidu, Yang Nianxia, Luo Guixing, Zheng Yiran, and those who had fought with Xia Yi such as Lei Long, Yu Longri, Ning Hong, and Fu Caiyi, as well as Tangmen disciples like Tangmen A San, Tangmen Third Sister, Star Luo Empire's Tangmen Long Yue, and Star Luo Empire's little princess Dai Yun'er.
"Not good, hold your breath!" Tang Wulin almost screamed.
But it was no use. The mist, like threads, was already starting to seep into their skin.
"Bang your head! Quickly!"
Someone shouted.
"Boom!"
They hit their heads against the cave's stone wall, but it felt soft and bouncy. Everyone's bodies bounced back and sat down, and in the process, they accidentally inhaled even more of the pink gas.
By the time Yali arrived, it was too late. All the Shrek Academy students had red eyes, and their body temperatures had reached a terrifying level.
Many of the men and women had already started tearing each other's clothes off.
Tang Wulin, Long Yue, and Yu Longri were in the worst condition. Due to their Dragon Clan martial spirits and bloodlines, they had the lowest resistance to the power of lust.
Tang Wulin was on top of Xu Xiaoyan, trembling as he reached out to remove her clothes.
Long Yue was on top of Dai Yun'er, while Yu Longri was about to act but was kicked by Fu Caiyi.
Yali didn't have time to think. She raised her hand, and beams of holy light fell, instantly covering everyone.
But she quickly realized it was useless. The holy light couldn't remove the power of lust from their bodies.
Without hesitation, Yali summoned her martial spirit and Four-word Battle Armor. Prayer Angels flew out and landed on the Shrek Academy students and Tangmen disciples.
But it still didn't work.
"Divine power!" Yali's face changed. She could feel that the power of lust contained divine power.
Although she had broken through to quasi-god, she couldn't purify divine power.
"Mom… please… kill me... kill me," Tang Wulin said hoarsely, his eyes red. His soul power was sealed, and he couldn't even commit suicide.
"Wulin, don't say that. I'll save you all," Yali said, her eyes turning red as she looked at Tang Wulin in this state. Now, she had to make a choice: either let them release their desires or kill them.
Otherwise, even if she controlled them, within a short time, they would all be burned alive by the lustful fire.
No matter if she watched them lose control or watched them burn alive, Yali couldn't bear to do it.
Of course, Yali couldn't bring herself to do as Tang Wulin said and kill them.
"There's only one way," Yali's eyes turned cold. For the sake of the Shrek Academy students and Tang Sect disciples, she threw caution to the wind. Prayer Angels quickly entered their bodies.
If she couldn't purify them, she could absorb it.
This method worked. In just a short time, the Shrek Academy students and Tang Sect disciples' eyes gradually became clearer.
