Chapter 49: Strengthening and Taming of the Netherworld Spirit Cat

[World Affiliation Task: This task is divided into two parts – World Authority Task and Infinite Chaos City Exclusive Task World.]

[Note: Both tasks will be carried out simultaneously. The Exclusive Task World has higher difficulty, and the World Authority Task is formed based on the current world situation and the direction of the era.]

[May I ask if the contractor wishes to initiate?]

"Initiate!" Zhou Tian stated directly.

As the world home front local native, there was no way he would let others become the master.

[Initiation successful. Please complete the Exclusive Task World within ten years.]

[Frontline world tasks are being generated.]

[Star of the Era: Obtain the championship in the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition across the entire continent in two and a half years.]

[Reward: One-third of world authority.]

Zhou Tian furrowed his brow slightly. Obtaining the championship in the competition two and a half years later seemed easy, but revealing his full strength would be a real problem.

"Even if I hide my strength, it's easy to leave traces in front of several Title Douluo." Zhou Tian said.

"So, the real difficulty of this task is how to hide myself, not being noticed by others? Or having enough strength to deal with those troubles."

To achieve this, he would need at least the cultivation base of a Title Douluo.

"Is this the real test?" Zhou Tian returned to the room, looking at Zhu Zhuqing, who was meditating.

Actually, there was another way, but it was too troublesome, and Zhou Tian didn't want to do it that way.

Zhu Zhuqing slowly opened her eyes and saw Zhou Tian standing in front of her.

"Zhou Tian, when will the experiment that can make me stronger begin? I'm ready."

Listening to Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice, Zhou Tian chuckled and said, "You're more anxious than me. This involves life-threatening risks."

"I don't care about life-threatening risks; I just want to become stronger," Zhu Zhuqing said.

"Good, summon your martial soul," Zhou Tian nodded.

After these days of contemplation and constant browsing of stalls in the Infinite Chaos City, he finally settled on a plan.

[Extraordinary Material: Crystal Core of the Shadow Cat Monster]

The Shadow Cat Monster was a magical beast that inhabited the jungle, possessing strong stealth abilities.

Even standing there without using any power, as long as it didn't move, it would easily be ignored.

With the additional ability to sink into shadows and actively go invisible, it was a formidable jungle assassin.

With extremely fast speed, explosive power, and claws carrying the erosion of negative energy, it was a very troublesome opponent.

After Zhou Tian bought this crystal, he immediately transformed it into an extraordinary material.

[Extraordinary Material: Crystallization of the ]

The Dead Spirit Ghost could evolve into the Shadow of Death.

It was a special summon unit created by extraordinary professions like Necromancers, Undead Mages, and Death Lich.

Possessing curse abilities, it was a powerful elite unit.

But because it could be created by humans, it wasn't expensive.

These two combined cost Zhou Tian just over 5000 points of source power.

"It feels like no amount of money is enough when it's needed!" Zhou Tian felt a bit helpless.

During this period, Zhou Tian would occasionally enter the Secret arts hub for contemplation. The source points were decreasing like flowing water.

Zhou Tian extended his right hand, and a gray-lined pyramid emerged. It was clear that it had a three-layer structure, and each layer seemed capable of separating to become an individual altar.

The second layer emitted a faint light, enveloping Zhu Zhuqing.

"After finishing things here, I need to earn a large number of source points as soon as possible. I can't let the speed of my becoming stronger slow down."

As Zhou Tian thought this, he placed the two extraordinary materials into the synthesis grid.

A ray of light appeared, and two illusionary entities formed a triangle with Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul.

A magical force emerged, and Zhu Zhuqing felt her martial soul clearly as her closely connected martial soul underwent changes.

Bright forces mixed within the dark colors, wrapping around Zhu Zhuqing.

"The bloodline controls the body; now, using this method to control the soul, I can rest assured about her." Zhou Tian looked at the transformed Zhu Zhuqing.

From now on, Zhu Zhuqing could also be considered one of his own.

The black light gradually receded, almost completely absorbed.

A surge of energy erupted from Zhu Zhuqing, and her original 27th-level soul power increased by three levels, reaching level 30.

A strange sensation enveloped Zhu Zhuqing, a kind of elusive feeling.

Zhou Tian could clearly perceive in his special senses that Zhu Zhuqing's presence seemed a bit weaker.

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing opening her eyes, Zhou Tian asked, "How is it? Any new changes?"

"My soul power has undergone a slight change," Zhu Zhuqing said excitedly, unable to contain herself.

The change in soul power was the most direct. Zhu Zhuqing extended her hand, and a faint light gathered on her five fingers.

"I seem to be able to condense a special soul power from my fingertips, capable of corroding soul power and leaving it in others' bodies, perceiving the opponent within a certain range."

Zhou Tian looked at the excited Zhu Zhuqing, whose cold demeanor had completely disappeared, and nodded.

This should be the combination of the netherworld cat monster's claw ability and the curse of the Dead Spirit Ghost, although the curse's effect was much weaker, leaving only a location sensing ability.

"What about the martial soul? Has the martial soul undergone any changes?" Zhou Tian asked again.

Zhu Zhuqing, trying to calm her excited emotions, focused on sensing.

Suddenly, her whole person disappeared as if she had turned invisible.

But Zhou Tian could still, with his special perception, faintly feel a person.

"A powerful stealth ability. If it weren't for my special perception, an ordinary Soul Douluo probably wouldn't be able to sense it."

The hidden Zhu Zhuqing suddenly appeared, running agilely in the room at a fast speed.

Suddenly, the martial soul Netherworld Spirit Cat leaped out from Zhu Zhuqing, tearing through the air with its claws, then jumped back.

"Split form and still have attack power? Temporary or permanent?" Zhou Tian's eyes lit up.

"For a short time, I have the same attack power as me. Zhou Tian, I..."

Zhou Tian looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who stopped in front of him, speaking with excitement, her slender thighs wrapped in leather pants, highlighting the beauty of her hips.

Slim waist, full figure, the fragrance of a young girl, rosy lips, tender face, bright big eyes, and long hair.

Completely the appearance of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

Zhou Tian looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was different from her usual cold appearance, blushing, excited in her eyes, wanting to express gratitude and joy. He interrupted her words with a kiss.

Zhou Tian didn't want to hear words of gratitude; even though his actions helped Zhu Zhuqing gain the strength and safety she desired, he knew he wasn't a good person. It was the drive of self-interest that led him to do these things.

"No need for thanks. Consider it a return. Moreover, you should feel it now. You understand what I said, right? You are mine, not a lie?" Zhou Tian said, letting go of her hand, but the warm and soft feeling didn't disappear.

On the contrary, the hands embraced Zhou Tian's waist.

Zhou Tian's eyes lit up, once again embracing Zhu Zhuqing's soft body, lowering his head.

..........................

Zhu Zhuqing's relationship handling was completed. She would become a partner-style subordinate and a tool.

Mainly dealing with some matters of the protagonist on the Douluo Continent, she would become a Saintess or Pope after the mid-term, helping collect faith.

Regarding this handling, I think it should be reasonable.

Zhu Zhuqing hasn't seen Dai Mubai, just having an engagement, she can accept Dai Mubai, who often travels together within a little over a year. I think she doesn't value love so much.

Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing has never received any love since childhood, with her parents' indifference, sister's persecution, and the despair and betrayal of her fiance.

In this period, completely controlled by the other party, granting favors, giving a sense of security and strength to the protagonist.

The possibility of Zhu Zhuqing completely accepting the protagonist is very high.

To be clear, it is acceptance, not love.
