After leaving the Blue Silver Forest, Xiao Wu began introducing the second soul skill of her seventh soul ring. "I haven't named this soul skill yet, but its effect is impressive. It can condense an energy entity of myself, reaching a height of one thousand meters."

As she spoke, Xiao Wu took a step forward, leaping a hundred meters away. With two more steps, she was nearly a thousand meters away from Tang San and the Blue Silver Emperor. Her mastery of the "Nine Steps to Heaven" within the "Carefree Wind" was truly remarkable.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion echoed, making the ground tremble.

With the seventh blood-red soul ring shining, white, gold, and crimson auras appeared around Xiao Wu, representing spiritual power, soul power, and vital energy.

These three energies intertwined, forming a towering whirlwind. A giant, about five hundred meters tall, stood on the open plain—

Its body like glass, face like jade.

Its eyes shone like stars, and its limbs were long like pillars.

Flames emanated from its wrists, winding around its arms and forming a fiery ribbon from its armpits. Its legs were clad in dragon-scale patterned boots, crackling with lightning, causing blue flames to flicker in the surrounding air.

The upper body was armored in a white suit with gold trim, featuring an angry rabbit beast motif on the chest. Upon closer inspection, the rest of the armor appeared to be shaped and stabilized using spatial power.

However, what caught Tang San's eye the most was the scorpion braid—at a height of a thousand meters, it resembled a dragon swimming through the clouds. A single flick could stir a gale, making it difficult for an ordinary Soul Douluo to approach within a hundred meters!

"This is incredible!" Blue Silver's mouth formed an "O" shape. "Even though it's not as tall as your Blue Silver Emperor, this humanoid giant is far more awe-inspiring. And it's not an illusion created by spiritual power, is it?"

"No," Tang San replied, equally surprised that the second soul skill of Xiao Wu's seventh soul ring could produce such a powerful effect, manifesting her essence into a giant energy entity.

Susanoo?

No!

This is the Celestial Apparition!

Although Xiao Wu remained still, Tang San could sense the power of the apparition. Once it moved, it could disrupt the airflow and stir up a storm.

Not to mention, with Xiao Wu's spatial awareness, her control over herself, and the combination of her blood essence golden core, soul power heart core, and spiritual essence, she could undoubtedly harness the power of the heavens and the earth in battle.

No wonder Xiao Wu claimed she could rival a Titled Douluo.

But how long could this apparition last...?

As this thought crossed his mind, the apparition dissipated. Xiao Wu descended from its brow, her face pale and her soul power weakened, clearly having exhausted herself.

From the moment the apparition appeared to when it vanished, it only lasted about a minute.

Tang San instantly reached the spot where Xiao Wu landed, catching her in his arms. He used his first soul skill: Endless Recovery, to restore her soul power, vital energy, and spiritual strength.

After evolving from the Blue Silver Emperor to the Blue Silver King, his first soul skill's recovery ability had also transformed, capable of replenishing a person's life energy.

Even if someone was poisoned, this soul skill could continuously infuse them with life energy, allowing their immune system to cleanse the toxin.

In essence, this first soul skill could do everything short of bringing the dead back to life—even a disabled person could regrow their limbs!

In less than three minutes, Xiao Wu had fully recovered, her face glowing with vitality. Anyone who didn't know better might think she had taken some kind of powerful elixir.

"This soul skill is indeed powerful, but I can only maintain it for about a minute. After that, my soul power is depleted," Xiao Wu said, a bit dejected. "Although I can enhance the attack's power with the energy of heaven and earth, this energy can't maintain its form because its structure is built from my essence."

"If, in the future, I can communicate between the inner and outer universes, I could make it last longer. However, I believe this would require constructing a complete route for energy conversion, circulation, and flow similar to the three energies within my body, possibly even simulating internal organs with energy."

"This is a massive undertaking, beyond my current capabilities."

If Xiao Wu were to attempt this, the apparition could evolve significantly, offering immense future potential! After giving some encouragement, Tang San set Xiao Wu down from his embrace and said, "For now, let's not aim too high. Focus on mastering this skill. As for your essence being insufficient to maintain it for long, that's not a problem. As long as we're together, your essence can be restored at any time."

"I forgot about that," Xiao Wu quickly kissed Tang San on the lips, playfully slipping her tongue in for a moment. She then grinned and said, "I'll reward you properly when we get back."

"Ahem!" Blue Silver had just approached and overheard Xiao Wu's words. She said, exasperated, "Do you have to say such things in front of me?"

"Who asked you to come so close?" Xiao Wu shot Blue Silver a disdainful glance, then dusted herself off and asked Tang San, "San Ge, what should I name this soul skill? Energy Giant? Giant Form? Or maybe Titan Xiao Wu True Form?"

"Let's call it Apparition, Soft Boned Apparition," Tang San named it. "A form modeled after the heavens and earth, called Apparition."

"Apparition, huh? It does sound more majestic than something like Giant or Titan. Let's go with that. This soul skill will be called Soft Boned Apparition!" Xiao Wu exclaimed, then jumped onto Tang San's back, wrapping her legs around his waist. "San Ge, carry me back? I'm still not fully recovered."

"Not fully recovered? I think you just want to annoy me," Lan Yinzi muttered. She could see right through Xiao Wu's antics, realizing the young girl was in love and found her presence bothersome.

Tang San, not commenting on their bickering, naturally supported Xiao Wu on his back, letting her ride piggyback.

As they laughed and chatted on their way to Spirit Hall, they passed by the Star Dou Forest and saw a familiar figure emerging.

Graceful steps, a cold demeanor, and clad in black leather.

There was no doubt, the person before them was Zhu Zhuqing!
