Chapter 185 The Spirit King is Finally Achieved
The spiritual energy within Ye Shuli's dantian surged like an enraged beast, ready to devour anyone it might attack.
Without saying a word, she flashed forward like a bolt of lightning and rushed into the crowd.
The gloating expression on the young master's face was particularly irritating to her, making her want to rush up and tear his deserving face to shreds.
"Young Master Gu, you'd better hand over the item now, or else..." Ye Shuli's voice was icy cold, carrying a strong warning.
Young Master Gu had long anticipated that Ye Shuli would come looking for him. He hid in a secluded corner, holding the spirit stone that emitted a soft light in his hand, his face full of smugness.
"Otherwise what? You think you can eat me? Let me tell you, if you don't break through to the Spirit King level today, let's see how arrogant you can be then!"
"You're courting death!" Ye Shuli's anger could no longer be suppressed and raged fiercely.
"Oh, I'm so scared!" the young master of the Gu family said sarcastically, completely disregarding Ye Shuli's threat.
He brandished the spirit stone in his hand, his face full of provocation, "Want it? Come and take it!"
Ye Shuli was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode. This young master of the Gu family was simply asking for a beating!
"Li'er, don't be impulsive." Jiang Ye grabbed Ye Shuli and whispered in her ear, "Calm down, we'll definitely find a way."
Ye Shuli took a deep breath, trying to calm her excited emotions.
Jiang Ye's presence acted as a reassurance, gradually calming her down.
She knew that now was not the time to act impulsively; she had to find a way to get the spirit stone back.
"Young Master Gu, are you sure you want to do this?" Ye Shuli asked again, her tone tinged with coldness.
"Of course, I want to see you fail, to see you fall from your high pedestal!" The young master of the Gu family laughed arrogantly, as if he could already see Ye Shuli's despair.
"You're playing with fire!" Ye Shuli's eyes sharpened, and she exuded a powerful aura.
Young Master Gu was intimidated by Ye Shuli's imposing aura and involuntarily took a few steps back.
But he quickly realized what was happening and shouted, his voice trembling with fear, "You... what do you want? Let me tell you, this is the Gu family..."
"So what if you're from the Gu family? I'm going to teach you a lesson today, you arrogant fool!" Ye Shuli said, and was about to make her move.
Jiang Ye stood beside Ye Shuli, ready to make a move at any moment.
Although he usually seems carefree and irresponsible, he is very reliable when it matters.
He clenched his fists, staring intently at the young master of the Gu family, like a ferocious beast poised to pounce.
"You...you..." The young master of the Gu family looked at Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye approaching step by step. He retreated while shouting fiercely but weakly, "Don't come any closer! I...I am the young master of the Gu family! You dare to touch me..."
"So what if he's the young master of the Gu family? Today I'm going to show you that there are some people you can't afford to mess with!" Ye Shuli took a step forward and aggressively approached the young master of the Gu family.
The young master of the Gu family turned pale with fright and retreated repeatedly.
Looking at the burning anger in Ye Shuli's eyes, he felt a strong sense of fear rising in his heart.
He tried to escape, but found that his legs felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't move at all.
Jiang Ye stood beside Ye Shuli, a cold smile playing on his lips.
He looked at the terrified expression on the young master's face and felt nothing but disdain.
He had long disliked this young master of the Gu family, and today he finally had the chance to teach him a lesson.
The young master of the Gu family said in a trembling voice, "What...what do you want to do?"
Ye Shuli snorted coldly and said, "What? Of course, it's..."
"...I'll teach you what respect is!" Ye Shuli was about to make her move before she could finish speaking.
But just then, a dignified voice suddenly rang out: "Stop!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man slowly walking over. He was wearing a white robe, and his hair and beard were all white, but he was vigorous and exuded a powerful aura.
"Spirit King Instructor!" The young master of the Gu family was so frightened that his face turned pale and he began to stutter.
He never dreamed that his mentor, the Spirit King, would appear at this moment.
The Spirit King Instructor walked up to Ye Shuli, his gaze lingering on her for a moment before turning to the young master of the Gu family and shouting sternly, "You brat from the Gu family, how dare you cause trouble here! What kind of behavior is this!"
The young master of the Gu family was so intimidated by the aura of the Spirit King mentor that he dared not move and could not utter a word.
He originally thought he could take this opportunity to humiliate Ye Shuli, but he didn't expect to shoot himself in the foot.
Seeing this opportunity, Ye Shuli quickly acted and snatched the spirit stone back from the young master of the Gu family.
After receiving the spirit stone, she immediately took a few steps back to distance herself from the young master of the Gu family.
The surrounding cultivators were all in awe of the Spirit King Instructor's appearance, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.
They all knew how powerful the Spirit King Mentor was; offending him would have unimaginable consequences.
After being reprimanded by his mentor, the young master of the Gu family slunk away.
He originally wanted to continue provoking Ye Shuli, but after seeing the Spirit King Instructor's majestic gaze, he completely gave up the idea.
Although she got the spirit stones back, Ye Shuli's physical and mental state was not very good due to the previous ordeal.
She felt waves of exhaustion, as if her body had been hollowed out.
"Li'er, are you alright?" Jiang Ye asked with concern.
Ye Shuli took a deep breath, forcing herself to endure the fatigue and pressure, and said, "I'm fine, I must break through to the Spirit King realm!"
A tense and oppressive atmosphere filled the air. Ye Shuli sat cross-legged, holding the spirit stone in her hand...
"let's start."
Ye Shuli sat cross-legged, her hands tightly gripping the spirit stones, and began to mobilize her own spiritual power according to the instructions of her Spirit King mentor.
The spirit stone emitted a soft light, as if resonating with Ye Shuli's body. A powerful surge of spiritual energy emanated from her body and swept around the surroundings.
The onlookers retreated, all shocked by the powerful force.
The young master of the Gu family watched from the side, his eyes reddening with jealousy, gritting his teeth in envy.
"Why! Why can she do it so easily!" he roared inwardly, but dared not utter a sound, for fear of angering the Spirit King Instructor.
Ye Shuli's breakthrough was not smooth; the Spirit King realm was like an insurmountable chasm, blocking her progress.
She felt as if her body was being torn apart, and the intense pain almost made her faint.
But she gritted her teeth, endured the pain, and continuously mobilized the spiritual power within her body to break through that barrier.
"Li'er, keep going!" Jiang Ye cheered her on from the side. His voice was full of concern and encouragement, giving Ye Shuli tremendous support.
Ye Shuli silently vowed in her heart, "I must break through, for myself and for Jiang Ye!" This belief supported her, allowing her to challenge the barrier of the Spirit King realm time and time again.
Time passed second by second. Sweat beaded on Ye Shuli's forehead, and her face turned pale, but she still did not give up.
She knew that if she persevered just a little longer, she would definitely be able to break through!
Finally, at the crucial moment of her breakthrough, Ye Shuli felt a crisp sound coming from inside her body, as if something had broken.
Immediately afterwards, a powerful force surged from her body, breaking through the limitations of the Spirit King realm.
Ye Shuli's body shone brightly, like a god descending to earth, emanating a powerful force that made the surrounding air feel heavy.
Everyone felt this power and showed expressions of awe and admiration.
The young master of the Gu family lowered his head in despair.
"It's done..." The Spirit King Instructor looked at Ye Shuli.
Ye Shuli slowly opened her eyes, her eyes sparkling with confidence.
She stood up, feeling the surging spiritual energy within her body, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
Jiang Ye excitedly tried to rush forward, but was stopped by the Spirit King Instructor.
“Wait a minute,” he said, giving Ye Shuli a meaningful look, “let her get used to this power first.”
"Li'er..." Jiang Ye
Ye Shuli looked at him, and slowly reached out her hand...
Jiang Ye could no longer contain his excitement. He rushed over like a cannonball, grabbed Ye Shuli tightly, and hugged her tightly as if he was afraid she would disappear if he let go.
"Li'er, you're amazing! A goddess forever!" He shouted excitedly in her ear, his voice cracking slightly.
Ye Shuli hugged him back tightly, burying her face in his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat.
At this moment, all fatigue and stress vanished, leaving only a sense of happiness and accomplishment.
She patted his back gently and said with feigned disgust, "Alright, alright, don't get so excited like an idiot. There are so many people watching."
Although she complained, Ye Shuli couldn't hide the smile on her lips.
The surrounding cultivators also offered their blessings, and the air was filled with a joyful and ambiguous atmosphere.
The Gu family patriarch stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction: "The younger generation is truly formidable. Even the young master of the Gu family, who had previously been mocking Ye Shuli, silently lowered his head."
The Spirit King mentor walked up to Ye Shuli and solemnly announced, "From this day forward, you are a true Spirit King! Your name will be recorded in history!"
Ye Shuli's name swept across the entire fantasy continent like a whirlwind.
King of Spirits!
The realm that so many cultivators dream of has now been reached by a young woman!
People were discussing the legendary story of this newly crowned Spirit King, and a sense of admiration arose spontaneously.
Standing atop the pinnacle of glory, Ye Shuli looked down at the earth beneath her feet, her heart filled with lofty ambitions.
She knew this was just the beginning, and that the road ahead was long with many more challenges to come.
But she was not afraid, because she had Jiang Ye by her side and friends who supported her.
Jiang Ye gently took her hand, their fingers intertwined, everything understood without words.
He looked at her and said softly, "Li'er, let's walk the road ahead together."
Ye Shuli turned her head and met his affectionate gaze, a bright smile appearing on her lips.
"Okay," she answered firmly, her eyes sparkling with confidence.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded in the distance, and a figure came running, panting, shouting, "Something terrible has happened..."
