Tang San sat on Xiao Bai's back, beginning to absorb the spirit ring.
Aside from Tang Sui who also started meditating and regulating her breath, Dai Mubai and the others, who had already consumed Super Recovery Big Sausages, took on the role of protectors. Even with other Demonic Soul Great White Sharks helping to keep watch, they still had to be cautious.
Vast, dark red energy continuously overflowed from Tang San, who was meditating, and the air gradually filled with a rich, rusty scent.
The seawater bubbled like a boiling cauldron, and the escaping energy felt like wave after wave of scalding hot water, washing over the approaching Demonic Soul Great White Sharks. This made them instinctively feel a slight burning sensation, causing them to instinctively retreat with Dai Mubai and the others.
"Such a terrifying aura of power. I didn't expect that even with the Demonic Evil Whale King's corpse not fully formed, there would still be such a terrifying residual power," Ning Rongrong said, covering her nose and mouth with a lingering fear.
Even though they had experienced many bloody scenes throughout their growth, and the smell of blood was no longer unfamiliar or nauseating to them, when such a concentrated bloody aura gathered, they couldn't help but feel a surge of nausea, and their complexions were all rather pale.
"The Evil Tiger has, over the years, devoured quite a few powerful spirit beasts and spirit masters. Even though it used a life-burning secret technique earlier, bloodthirsty and powerful are words permanently etched into its soul, something that ordinary people cannot endure," Xiao Bai explained, having anticipated this. Su Dan Novel Network.
If it weren't for her own cultivation reaching the hundred-thousand-year level, even she would likely have had a difficult time.
The thick scent of blood made Xiao Wu's face a little pale, but her greatest concern was the soul remnants spontaneously generated by spirit beasts with ten-thousand-year cultivation or higher. Especially since the Demonic Evil Whale King was such a ferocious and powerful sea spirit beast.
Therefore, its soul remnant must be even stronger.
Dai Mubai let out a sigh, his expression complicated as he said, "As expected, opportunities always come with danger."
Setting aside whether he could endure it, if he were the one to bear the Demonic Evil Whale King's spirit ring, he truly wouldn't have the courage.
Although a powerful hundred-thousand-year spirit ring was eye-catching, one also had to weigh their own capabilities.
He truly felt no jealousy whatsoever at this moment.
After all, they all shared the same understanding of how perilous their journey to acquiring opportunities had been.
Bai Chenxiang, who had spent more than three years with the group, also felt a deep sense of emotion.
She was truly fortunate that her grandfather had sent her to train with the Shrek Seven Devils, which had led to her current leap in cultivation.
The gap in talent was a hard barrier. If it weren't for Sui Sui, to be objective and a little heartbroken, there were many training opportunities she wouldn't have been qualified to participate in.
With that thought, Bai Chenxiang's gaze involuntarily fell upon Tang Sui.
However, as soon as she looked, Bai Chenxiang's expression changed slightly, "Quick, look at Sui Sui!"
Hmm?
Bai Chenxiang's surprised exclamation drew everyone's attention towards Tang Sui.
Xiao Wu, who was sharing a Demonic Soul Great White Shark with Tang Sui, turned her head. Tang Sui's eyes were tightly closed, but her expression showed a hint of pain and忍耐 (rěnnài - endurance), which was evident to everyone.
Fine beads of cold sweat formed on her forehead, trickling down her delicate cheeks. Some dripped onto the back of the Demonic Soul Great White Shark, while others slid down her neck and into her clothes, dampening her dress.
"Sui Sui?"
Xiao Wu's expression changed, and she half-knelt in front of Tang Sui, wanting to check on her but hesitant to touch her at this moment.
Although it was possible to interrupt a spirit master's meditation and breath regulation under normal circumstances, the current situation was clearly abnormal.
A faint, bloody halo flickered on Tang Sui's body, like a ticking time bomb. The bloody light pulsed, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. Xiao Wu and the others had never seen this before and dared not rashly reach out to physically wake Tang Sui, so they could only try to rouse her with their voices.
"Sui Sui, Sui Sui?"
"Sui Sui, can you hear my voice?"
"Sui Sui?"
The Shrek Seven Devils took turns trying, but Tang Sui's brow remained tightly furrowed, and the expression of忍耐 (rěnnài - endurance) and pain on her face deepened, showing no signs of easing.
"Xiao Bai, do you know what's happening? Sui Sui was just meditating and regulating her breath, why is she suddenly acting like she's going berserk?" Xiao Wu asked anxiously.
Xiao Bai, who was serving as a cushion beneath Tang San, shifted her golden eyes, taking in Tang Sui's abnormality. She said uncertainly, "This... I don't know either. Perhaps something happened that we weren't aware of during the process when the Evil Tiger was drawn into your brother and sister's domain?"
Xiao Wu's lips pressed tightly together, and she anxiously watched Tang Sui, who still couldn't be woken. She stood up, raised her right hand, and hovered it above Tang Sui's head, releasing her spirit power and slowly enveloping Tang Sui from top to bottom, intending to help regulate any abnormal turbulence within her body.
However, the moment Xiao Wu's spirit power barely covered Tang Sui, it was suddenly repelled by another powerful energy.
"Ah!"
Xiao Wu, who hadn't braced herself for Tang Sui, was impacted by the aftershock of this energy. With a startled cry, she retreated two steps before steadying herself.
"No, I can't assist Sui Sui with spirit power regulation. There's a wild force within her that directly repelled my spirit power," Xiao Wu said, looking at Tang Sui with concern.
"But Sui Sui was fine, why is she suddenly going berserk?" Ma Hongjun asked, full of confusion.
Zhu Zhuqing stared at the flickering bloody light on Tang Sui, something suddenly came to mind, and she looked sharply at the blood-red light emanating from Tang San, and the Demonic Evil Whale King's corpse behind him. She guessed, "Could it be because of the Demonic Evil Whale King?"
"Hmm?"
They followed Zhu Zhuqing's gaze to Tang San, who was still absorbing the Demonic Evil Whale King's energy, and its incomplete corpse. Memories of the past suddenly attacked them.
"Wait... this can't be, it's happening again because of Twin Resonance, can it?"
Oscar stammered, his voice trembling.
The others, recalling the scene when Tang San first absorbed his fourth ten-thousand-year spirit ring, felt their heads ache.
"Twin Resonance?"
Bai Chenxiang, who had arrived later, and Xiao Bai, who wasn't well-versed in human spirit master theories, both asked in unison.
"It's like this. Xiao San and Sui Sui are twins born only a short time apart. Several years ago, Xiao San was a Spirit Grandmaster at the time. After advancing to Spirit Elder, he chose a spirit ring from a ten-thousand-year-level Human-Faced Demon Spider. At that time, Xiao San was absorbing a spirit ring above his rank, so he fell into a deadlock."
Dai Mubai explained, rubbing his temples.
"At that time, Xiao San also fell into a deadlock during the process of absorbing the spirit ring, just like now. Who would have thought that Sui Sui would also be affected, and another personality suddenly emerged to attack us indiscriminately? Although it wasn't fatal, it was like a playful attack, but it was still very difficult to deal with."
Oscar chimed in, "That was the first time Twin Resonance appeared. In simple terms, Twin Resonance is when something abnormal happens to Xiao San, Sui Sui can somehow sense it and might even get caught up in it as if she were there. It's commonly known as a buy-one-get-one-free situation."
"The second time Twin Resonance occurred was when Sui Sui suddenly ran into the place where Xiao San was advancing, and what came out was their Human-Shaped Spirit Fusion Skill."
