Douluo Dalu - The Story Of Sheng Feilong Chapter 85

Sheng Feilong and She Meixiao stared at each other, both completely shocked about the other . Inside the corroded pit, Sheng Feilong calmly sat in a cross-legged position while looking up to She Meixiao, while the latter stared back at him . The whole room was corroded and nearly destroyed by he same weird energy that they had felt before . Luckily, for Sheng Feilong, the energy didn't destroy his clothing this time .

She Meixiao couldn't help but think back of how it came to this situation . A while ago, when she and the doctor had just left the infirmary room to let Sheng Feilong meditate and enter his spiritual consciousness to check the doctor's theory of him possessing a second Spirit Essence, they simply headed to the room on the other side of the mirrored window .

The doctor himself had already calmed down by that time, patiently waiting for Sheng Feilong to verify everything for himself while reviewing the few records they had made of Sheng Feilong's status over the past few days . After observing Sheng Feilong for a while, She Meixiao walked over to the doctor . "He seems to be calming down rather quickly . He even checked his own body before entering his spiritual consciousness; Song Weihan really did well in training him . "

Glancing at the doc.u.ments that were layed out on the table in front of the doctor, She Meixiao frowned light and had to admit that she didn't understand much of it . Taking her eyes away from them, she looked at the doctor himself instead . "What do you think, doctor? If it really is his Spirit Essence, then this will be big . "

The doctor nodded with a serious expression before turning to She Meixiao . "I agree . If it's really a second Spirit Essence, then we'll have to carefully deal with the situation . Just possessing Twin Spirit Essences alone is enough to make many people go crazy about, but Sheng Feilong's seems to be even more dangerous . This corrosive energy is no laughing matter and it makes my heart race every time he releases it . That means that it's not just corrosive, but most likely of the Darkness attribute . "

She Meixiao frowned lightly and crossed her arms in front of her chest before continuing . "Yes, even I feel the pressure radiating from that kind of energy . If it wasn't for Sheng Feilong being too weak himself, I a.s.sume that, whatever this energy is, it would thoroughly suppress my Spirit Essence . It's really bizarre to see something so strangely powerful . "

The two of them remained silent for a moment before the doctor spoke up with a thoughtful expression . "Madam She, if that weird energy is really related to his Spirit Essence, then he might be a candidate for that t.i.tle . . . Of course, that is if we get him to join Daedalus . "

She Meixiao nodded with a crafty smile, very unlike her previous bearing and demeanor, while replying to the doctor . "It's been a few decades since the last holder of that t.i.tle died, but Sheng Feilong really has what it would take . I second trying to pull him in to join Daedalus, but I guess our greatest hurdle on this would be Song Weihan . On the other hand, pulling in the child would most likely mean pulling Song Weihan and his research team in as-"

Before she finished her sentence, she suddenly swung her head around, looking at the room where Sheng Feilong was . She quickly walked over to the window with a serious expression . "His Soul Power suddenly started acting up? Why? Is something happening to him?" Turning her head back to the doctor, she continued with the same serious expression . "Can you tell me anything about this? I don't believe that you'd really take off all of the monitoring devices . "

The doctor quickly pressed a few b.u.t.tons in the big computer screen in the room before frowning . "His Soul Power really is acting up . But it's not in disarray, but very stable . I a.s.sume he's . . . fighting against something?" Just as he finished his a.s.sessment, the variables on the screen began jumping up and down, signalling that his Soul Power suddenly turned more violent . On the other side of the room, he heard She Meixiao speak . "This weird energy is acting up again; It's dissolving the bed and machinery!"

After that, she run into the room and used her own Soul Power to keep the corrosive energy in check, making sure it doesn't spread outside the room to keep damages to a minimum . Strangely enough, the energy didn't only try to resist her control, but even began corroding She Meixiao's Soul Power! She frowned and released her Soul Rings to consolidate her control . Only then did she manage to completely keep it in check, rendering it unable to corrode her Soul Power any longer .

Still, she couldn't protect the bed, nor most of the machinery near Sheng Feilong from being dissolved and even the ground below was corroding away, while Sheng Feilong casually sat inside the newly created pit . She Meixiao couldn't help but stare at him in shock and just a few moments later, Sheng Feilong opened his eyes, flinching and staring back at her with the same shocked expression .

Sheng Feilong's thoughts were spinning at maximum speed . He just found out about the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon and his 100 . 000-years-old External Soul Bone, when he suddenly saw the nice middle-aged lady, She Meixiao, before him with 9 Soul Rings suspended behind her back . He grew incredibly nervous, but didn't dare to try anything . 'Why is she releasing her Soul Rings? Didn't she say she's stay somewhere else? Don' tell me the Doomstinger Dragonfly's Soul Bone manifested behind me when I touched it in my spiritual consciousness . Did she see it?!'

On the other side, She Meixiao noticed Sheng Feilong's nervous expression, but more importantly, she noticed that the corrosive energy had finally vanished . Slowly dissipating the pressure and calling her Soul Rings back, she let out a small sigh before looking at Sheng Feilong, pulling him out of his thoughts . "You really surprised me there . We saw the strange, corrosive energy suddenly act up . Are you alright?"

Sheng Feilong was a bit surprised . 'She doesn't know about the Soul Bone . . ?' Only then did he notice that he was sitting in a strange pit and not on the bed from before . Still, he could say for certain that he was still in the same room . Quickly making up a story of half truths, he sighed in relief . "I found a pitch black area in my spiritual consciousness and when I neared it, the strange voice spoke up again . . . I managed to somehow get rid of it and the black area calmed down . But what happened here? The energy acted up in reality as well?"

She Meixiao frowned, seemingly lost in thoughts, but Sheng Feilong couldn't tell what she was thinking about . After a moment, she focused on Sheng Feilong again, gently smiling at him . "Let's get out you out of this pit first, shall we?" Sheng Feilong nodded with an embarra.s.sed expression and they headed to another room on the other side of a corridor . This was the first time Sheng Feilong left the hospital room since he came here and he made sure to engrave the hallway's layout in mind .

The doctor joined them and after they relocated to an office like room with a table and a few chairs . He he a few doc.u.ments in his hand and the doctor informed Sheng Feilong of what had happened when he was in meditation . Hearing about it, Sheng Feilong changed his story about the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon again to make it seem like it's vanished, not admitting that it's indeed his second Spirit Essence, while refusing to mention the Doomgstinger Dragonfly's External Soul Bone .

After about half an hour, he had said nearly all he wanted and his story seemed plausible . The doctor and She Meixiao seemed lost in thought after his explanation, but didn't seem to mind too much . Beginning to feel a little uncomfortable in this foreign place, Sheng Feilong lightly cleared his throat before he spoke up . "Madam She, would it be possible to contact my Master now?"

She pulled out a Soul Communicator and asked Sheng Feilong for Song Weihan's number . Making it so Sheng Feilong and the doctor could hear everything, they soon heard Song Weihan's voice . "Who is this? Where did you get this number from?" Although it wasn't much of a difference, Sheng Feilong could still hear that his Master sounded incredibly exhausted, but before Sheng Feilong could speak up, She Meixiao introduced herself . "Sir Spirit Flamingo, this is She Meixiao from Daedalus . It's a pleasure to talk to you . "

Inside his office in their new laboratory, Song Weihan currently sat across Sheng Lingtian with a light frown while talking to She Meixiao on the Soul Communicator . He was already irritated when he saw an unfamiliar number call his private Soul Communicator, but upon hearing her name and that she's from Daedalus, he instantly put his guard up . "For what reason are you calling me? And who gave this number to you?"

She Meixiao smiled again, casually speaking to Song Weihan in a light-hearted manner . "I've called to tell you about some joyous news, Sir Spirit Flamingo . Ah, and the one who gave me your number, is Sheng Feilong . " Upon hearing this, Song Weihan immediately sprung to his feet, a terrifying killing intent radiating from his body as he spoke into the Soul Communicator again . "Where is he? What have you done to him?!"
