Flesh buds!
Flesh buds began growing on the skeleton!
Like spider silk, they rapidly crawled and entangled the skeleton, visible to the naked eye.
In just a few breaths of time, the skeleton was enveloped by new flesh!
The hunchbacked body was no longer hunched!
Next, the unnaturally pale skin began to grow.
This process was even faster, and before it was even completed, everything had already been finished!
A young man, looking to be in his twenties, appeared before Li Yu.
And all of this...
Took only a few breaths of time!
Terrifying, mysterious, bizarre!
He could make someone reborn!
Moreover, he returned to his youthful state!
How... is this possible?
Even Li Yu couldn't help but doubt his own eyes.
Could it be that behind the so-called Holy Spirit Cult stood a god?
Otherwise, how could they have such power!
"You..."
"You've angered me!"
At that moment.
The reborn young man slowly spoke, staring at Li Yu.
However... there was no anger in his tone, expression, or even on his face.
It was as if he were a machine devoid of emotion.
Li Yu pursed his lips but did not speak.
The young man continued:
"However..."
"You surprise me!"
"You're talented and powerful!"
"Up until now, you haven't even revealed your martial soul, which shows..."
"Your martial soul is likely some type that controls elements? So much so that you can use elemental powers without revealing your martial soul!"
"And... you can wield so many different elemental powers!"
"And..."
"I've heard of similar martial souls, and not long ago, I heard of a genius named Li Yu from Heaven Dou City. A four-ring Soul Grandmaster, yet she controlled water, fire, and wood elements, and even had a triple purple, one black soul ring configuration!"
"This kind of genius is exactly what our organization needs!"
"Too bad..."
"She's a woman, a Saintess... and we already have one!"
"And you..."
The young man's gaze shifted as he focused on Li Yu once more.
"Now, you have a soul power level of 70, even more talented than that Li Yu!"
"Seeing such a talent, I really can't bring myself to harm you!"
After a brief pause, emotion finally appeared in his voice: "The methods I showed you earlier, you've already seen. These are life-preserving and rebirth techniques!"
"With your talent, if you join the Holy Spirit Cult, the person you've encountered so far, though talented, won't be able to compete with you!"
"This means that if you join, the position of Holy Son is definitely yours!"
"Such life-preserving techniques, and even greater opportunities, can be obtained!"
"So, what do you think? Would you consider it?"
When he finished speaking, the young man fell silent again.
Similarly, his words implied everything was negotiable, yet his actions gave nothing away.
As if to demonstrate the depth of these so-called opportunities, nine soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—rose from beneath his feet.
Just like before.
Li Yu only had two choices.
One, join.
Two, die.
The terrifying pressure continued to lock onto Li Yu.
The young man remained patient.
It wasn't hard to see why he was confident.
Though he had suffered significant losses after his rebirth, his energy, spirit, and soul power were all full.
On the other hand, Li Yu had sustained significant injuries, and his soul power was nearly depleted.
How could he compete?
However.
At this moment, Li Yu was deep in thought.
Li Yu...
Naturally, it was her.
And this leader of the Holy Spirit Cult had been watching him for a while, and from his words, it seemed that he had even considered offering him the position of Holy Son.
Too bad, it seemed the Saintess position had already been decided.
Li Yu didn't care about the position of Saintess.
He was more interested in her identity!
Even though the talents Li Yu had revealed back then couldn't compete, or rather, hadn't had time to compete for the Saintess position...
How powerful must the Saintess be?
Moreover.
Who was the person the Holy Spirit Cult leader referred to as someone "currently in contact" with?
And this strange life-preserving method...
He was very curious!
If not for his beautiful wife, he might have considered checking out this Holy Spirit Cult.
But...
Despite the tempting benefits offered by the young man, Li Yu still couldn't "bow" to him.
What opportunity could be better than Brother System's?
Even if things got worse.
The Vast Sea Shield was still in the Heaven Dou Imperial Family!
The Slaughter City still existed!
If things really got tough, he could always try taking a few divine positions!
These sneaky, strange, and evil methods were akin to the tricks of sewer rats.
Naturally, he wouldn't bow to such things.
So, when he met the gaze of the Holy Spirit Cult leader, he was about to refuse, already preparing for battle.
But at that moment...
Another terrifying pressure came from the west.
Li Yu and the Holy Spirit Cult leader's gazes were both drawn to it.
Moments later.
A figure in a pale purple gown, crowned with a royal crown, appeared—graceful and noble.
She looked down coldly at Li Yu and the Holy Spirit Cult leader, as if a monarch looking down on mere mortals.
The Holy Spirit Cult leader's pupils contracted, then he laughed: "From the west, with such an aura and a woman, you must be the current Supreme Pontiff of the Spirit Hall, Your Majesty!"
"Since you know my name, why not show respect?"
Bibi Dong voice was calm, devoid of any emotion.
"Heh, I greet Your Majesty, the Supreme Pontiff!"
The Holy Spirit Cult leader said as he actually bowed to Bibi Dong without any airs.
At that moment.
Li Yu gaze also shifted to Bibi Dong.
Her beauty was, of course, top-tier!
Even compared to Qian Renxue, she exuded a more regal aura, something Qian Renxue at this stage could never possess.
Of course, each had her own merits.
Li Yu naturally still favored Qian Renxue.
As for a married woman, he wasn't interested.
Moreover, Bibi Dong was technically his mother-in-law, so he wouldn't entertain any inappropriate thoughts.
While Li Yu was assessing Bibi Dong, her gaze also fell on him.
She hadn't witnessed the entire battle.
But from what she could see, the battle seemed to have occurred between a 70-level soul master, who hadn't even absorbed a soul ring to become a Soul Sage, and this 92-level Title Douluo, who appeared young but exuded a decayed aura!
While the latter was strange, it piqued her curiosity.
However, she understood that he must have been an ancient monster who used some forbidden technique like "Graveyard Rebirth."
As for the former!
To be able to fight so fiercely with a Title Douluo at such a young age, and judging by the situation, it seemed they were negotiating or something.
But it undoubtedly pointed to one thing!
The latter was young, had extraordinary talent, and was extremely powerful!
Such an existence naturally intrigued her more.
So much so that, even though Li Yu was staring at her, she didn't get angry.
Instead, for some reason, she suddenly said, her tone as indifferent as ever:
"Am I beautiful?"
