A few days had passed since Sheng Feilong found the wounded She Meixiao inside her room. During this time, Sheng Feilong stayed by She Meixiao's side as much as he could. She Meixiao also managed to recover nearly completely; A Titled Douluo's self healing capabilities were truly remarkable.
During these few days, other than focusing on recovery, She Meixiao was also mainly thinking about two specific people. They had caught her eye during the competition and she wanted them to join Daedalus if possible. Moreover, she was already thinking of a plan to convince them.
The only problem was that, for both of these people, She Meixiao would have to deal with other Titled Douluo's and convince them to let the people who caught her eye join Daedalus. However, with the other Titled Douluos' temper, she knew that this would be the most troublesome part.
She would have to deal with one of those two alone and try to get them to join, as for the other, however, Sheng Feilong's help would be needed. That is, if She Meixiao's assumption is correct; And she had no way of confirming that assumption without testing it.
Sheng Feilong was surprised when She Meixiao told him of her plan regarding this, but agreed to help non the less; He would try his best and they would have to see whether She Meixiao's idea was viable.
"Ah, right, tomorrow is the last day before the delegation will take off to it's next halt. From Star Luo City, they'll continue northward to another city. We'll join them until about the halfway point, from there, we'll go to another branch of Daedalus." She Meixiao mentioned this when she was about to send Sheng Feilong back to his room.
"It'll also be the last time you'll see any of your friends until we return to the Douluo Continent, so make sure to say your goodbye's." She added with a light-hearted smile before sending Sheng Feilong off. After that, She Meixiao stood up and stretched her neck lightly. "Well then. Now for the troublesome part..."
She lightly stepped forward, vanishing from her place. Soon enough, She Meixiao stood inside a lightly lit room with a cozy atmosphere. However, that atmosphere was disturbed by the dagger like stare from the person sitting at the table inside the room.
Elder Cai looked at She Meixiao and huffed lightly, still, she offered the latter a seat with one hand and took a sip from her cup of tea. "So, what is it that you would request for me to meet you like this?" Elder Cai's voice sounded quite aloof, but it was obvious that she was at least interested to hear She Meixiao out.
The latter sat down on the table with a smile, but didn't take the cup that stood in front of her. Instead, she looked at Elder Cai and spoke with a serious expression. "I'd like for you to allow me to test something in regards to Sheng Feilong's second Spirit Essence."
"...What?" Elder Cai was visibly confused. She frowned and stopped for a moment, thinking she had misheard She Meixiao. "Why would you need my permission to test your disciple's powers?"
"Because this test requires the assistance of one of Shrek Academy's students." She Meixiao looked at Elder Cai, ignoring the latter's frown and continued in a serious tone. "I want to test the just how much Feilong's Spirit Essence can influence other demons. And for that, I'll need the help of Yuanen Yehui."
Elder Cai's face stiffened for a moment, before he face visibly darkened. "Explain your meaning. In detail."
------------------------------
The next morning came and She Meixiao and Sheng Feilong left the Star Luo Grand Hotel early. They went to a secluded hall in the outskirts of town. Sheng Feilong didn't really know what was going on other than She Meixiao telling him they'd try something out with the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon.
She Meixiao expressed herself in a rather cryptic manner, so Sheng Feilong was more or less clueless about the situation. When they arrived at the hall, She Meixiao looked at the time before nodding lightly. "They should be here soon, so we won't have to wait long."
She didn't say much more and the two of them quietly waited for a few minutes. After a while, She Meixiao redirected her gaze towards the entrance and the two of them could hear people approaching.
Sheng Feilong was a bit confused when he saw the two people who just entered. "Elder Cai and Yuanen Yehui..?" It wasn't just him, but Yuanen Yehui showed a similarly surprised expression. She looked at Elder Cai with a questioning look, but the latter simply ignored it and walked over to Sheng Feilong and She Meixiao.
She Meixiao smiled lightly and greeted Elder Cai before cutting straight to the point. "Great, now that you're here, we can start our little test." Elder Cai nodded and Sheng Feilong couldn't hold his confusion in any longer. "Master, what's going on? You said we'd test something with my second Spirit Essence."
She Meixiao smiled lightly and started to explain the situation to the two young people. "We're doing exactly that. In fact, the first thing we're going to test has to do with Yuanen Yehui's Gates of Hell." Yuanen Yehui looked surprised and looked at Elder Cai once more, though the latter only lightly nodded her head.
Sheng Feilong on the other hand had a bad feeling. If it was related to the Gates of Hell Soul Skill of Yuanen Yehui, then there was a large possibility of the Netherworld Putrefaction Demong going out of control once again.
She Meixiao seemed to see through his concerns and explained shortly when their eyes met. "The Netherworld Putrefaction Demon going out of control is one of the two things we want to test today. I understand that you're not exactly feeling well about that notion, but it's important that you manage to control it. Yuanen Yehui isn't the only person with a connection to demons you'll ever meet."
Sheng Feilong understood what she meant and nodded his head lightly. If he lost control every time he met someone with a demonic Spirit Essence or a Soul Skill like Yuanen Yehui's, it would be impossible for him to fight properly. With two Titled Douluo's present and a controlled environment, it would be the best situation for him to try and control it.
Still, something seemed to suddenly click in his head and he remembered what She Meixiao said just a moment ago. "...What's the second thing you wish to test, Master?" This time, She Meixiao smiled more brightly and answered in a rather excited voice. "The authority of the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon."
"The what..?" Sheng Feilong was confused. "What do you mean by authority..?" Hearing his question, She Meixiao continued to smile and her eyes seemed to glitter like a child's. "From what I know about demons, they have a strict hierarchy, where a inferior demon wouldn't be able to refuse a superior's even if they were told to kill themselves. At least, that's what the stories say."
Yuanen Yehui, who had remained silent until now, seemed to understand what she meant by that and opened her mouth with a baffled expression. "You wish to use Feilong's Spirit essence to suppress the demon form the Gates of Hell..?"
She Meixiao energetically nodded, much in Yuanen Yehui's disbelief. "Is something like that even possible..?" She herself understood her Soul Skill and te abilities of the demon who looked so much like herself best. Although she couldn't deny that Sheng Feilong's second Spirit essence was terrifyingly strong, what the Gates of Hell summoned was, in the end, a real demon, not a Spirit Essence.
"That's what we want to find out! If it works, it's the perfect help for you and valuable information for us; If it doesn't, it'll be a shame, but it's worth a try at the very least, don't you think?" She Meixiao once again spoke with an energetic smile and Sheng Feilong couldn't help but look at her slightly strangely due to this.
He had never seen She Meixiao this excited about something like a test; Even when he first showed her his Spirit Essence, she wasn't this excited. She was completely shocked, yes, but never so engrossed with it.
"Anyways, let's just try it out!" She Meixiao didn't want to lose any time and lightly clapped her hands, then smiled at Yuanen Yehui. "For now, you just need to use your Soul Skill. I know about the side effects of using that skill too often, but this is definitely worth a shot."
Sheng Feilong's brows twitched lightly and he looked at Yuanen Yehui. 'Side effects..?' He wanted to say something, but refrained from doing so when he saw Yuanen Yehui's determined expression. The latter looked back at him and nodded lightly. "Get ready."
Sheng Feilong nodded as well, throwing his thoughts to the back of his head and concentrated. He knew the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon would start rampaging as soon as the Yuanen Yehui look-alike demon stepped out of the Gates of Hell; He needed to focus intently to no lose control.
She Meixiao and Elder Cai stood besides Sheng Feilong and Yuanen Yehui, respectively, and were ready to interfere at the first moment something went wrong. She Meixiao's cheerful smile was gone and a serious expression had taken it's place as she looked at Yuanen Yehui. "Ready whenever you are."
The latter nodded her head and her Soul Power suddenly surged. A pair of large black wings sprouted from her back and four purple Soul Rings appeared around her. Then, the fourth Soul Ring lit up and the strange looking Gates of Hell appeared in front of her.
Soon after, the gates opened and a graceful figure, clad in a suit of armour, with two horns protruding from its head slowly stepped out of it. The demon looked around with a smiling expression, then at Yuanen Yehui, waiting for a command.
Sheng Feilong's body was shaking violently and with a pale expression, his eyes were fixed on the demon. This was the first time he stood so close to the demon summoned by the Gates of Hell. He gnashed his teeth, but slowly, his eyes were turning red.
