--- Chapter 237 ---
Even then, Beta knew how much effort Alpha put into his work. Creating the 'Divine Art' in less than six months isn't easy. He complained that he had spent five years in the Dou Qi Continent, but it was much slower-paced compared to Alpha's daily life.
At least Beta could still relax and spend time with his sweet younger sister Xiao Yixian if he was bored. Alpha is a maniac on a different level, as he is borderline torturing himself mentally at this point.
One hundred and sixty-nine days have passed since their last meeting, and Alpha has only slept for thirty minutes every day while focusing the rest of the time on developing Divine Art.
Madness. Yes, this guy, Alpha, was 'literally' driven by madness!
Of course, the girls would force Alpha to relax once in a while, but he'd return to his focused state afterward. In fact, it's not until recently that Alpha started slowing down because he had succeeded! So, he had the right to be proud of his creation!
"You really locked in, huh?" Beta gave Alpha a weird look.
Alpha smiled faintly, "Can't help it. The change Dou Qi Plane brought to Douluo Plane is tremendous. Even though Dou Qi didn't magically appear out of thin air, Thirteen told me the activity of heaven and earth improved rapidly in merely half a year."
"If this continued, the next generation would possess a stronger physique and most likely awaken Body Spirits, which is a good thing for us."
Beta commented, "But that doesn't mean the chance of awakening other spirits is lower, right?"
"Indeed, while the chance of awakening Beast Spirits is getting lower, we can't say the same about Tool Spirits. After all, using tools is always part of humanity." Alpha nodded calmly.
"Still, the effect of Dou Qi Plane on spirit masters is slow compared to what happened to the spirit beast's populations."hough the feeling is thinner." Beta explained slowly.
"You can call it a hunch or whatever, but you know our feelings can't be wrong."
"Huh, that's weird." Alpha tilted his head.
"Did the Plane's Consciousness contact you there?"
"No, like I said, it's a hunch." Beta shook his head bitterly.
"While I know I was cheating the system of the Dou Qi Plane, I have never been punished for it."
"In contrast, I felt rewarded."
"No rejection, no restriction, just freedom."
"Don't you think it's weird?"
"That's why I wanted to try my luck!"
Alpha mumbled, "I see..."
"So, you're planning to beat Han Feng up first..."
"Can't help it, that guy is a goddamn fat sheep ready to be slaughtered by me." Beta cheekily responded. "Just think about the incomplete 'Flame Mantra' he had. That one Dou Technique alone is worth it."
"Not to mention, he has Ocean Heart Flame, Yao Chen's inheritance, and some secrets of the Hall of Souls."
"He couldn't be more fattier, hahaha~!" Alpha laughed in realization.
"But what are you planning to do with his soul?"
Beta stumped for a moment before grinning, "I planned to exchange his soul with Yao Chen. Although that old fossil is a bit close-minded, the anger he had for his treacherous disciple should fetch us a few good things."
"If possible, I wanted a complete version of Flame Mantra, but if I don't get it, it's fine, too."
Alpha and Beta understood that they didn't really need a complete Flame Mantra, as the concept behind this growth-type Dou Technique is more important than anything.
In fact, Beta could have used Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame's seed, Ten Thousand Beast Flame, and Green Lotus Core Flame into a new Heavenly Flame using his spiritual power.
However, he didn't do so because fusing these Heavenly Flames into one would erase their existing concepts. After all, he didn't understand how to integrate Heavenly Flames like Flame Mantra did.
"Since we are here, we should open the reward for that Xiao Yixian's task," said Alpha.
"I'm sure you have been wanting to get the Spirit Awakening Method. So you can awaken martial souls in the Dou Qi Continent."
"Though I don't know if being a split soul will cause your spirits to be different than mine."
"We will see about that soon." Beta nodded, feeling somewhat excited about the prospect of having different martial souls than Alpha.
"Well, then, what are we waiting for?"
Alpha and Beta stared at each other before laughing out loud, "System, open the reward!"
