89: Holy Spirit Douluo arrives

The treatment continued until late at night. The Shen sisters stayed with Old Master Shen outside the room, quietly waiting for news.

During this time, Leng Yaozhu called Old Master Shen multiple times to confirm Shen Guyan's condition, but she was refused by Old Master Shen, who had learned of the situation.

Regardless of the circumstances, his grandson had been injured at her Spirit Pagoda. If Shen Guyan were to die from his injuries, the Shen Family would settle the score with Qiangu Dongfeng no matter what.

It wasn't just the Shen Family; even The Five Little Ones: Qin, Qi, Shu, Hua, and Jian, whom Shen Guyan had taken in, stood outside the courtyard, silently praying for their Young Master.

Creak—

As the door to the room was pulled open, everyone immediately swarmed forward, waiting for the medical staff to report the results.

Several healing Spirit Masters shook their heads one after another. Shen Guyan's symptoms were a first in their medical careers; it wasn't as simple as the petrification of flesh and blood—even his life signs were gradually vanishing.

If it weren't for the fact that Shen Guyan's heart was still beating slightly, they would have thought the boy was already dead.

"Don't you all pride yourselves on being the elite of the continent's healing profession? How can you not even save a single child?" Old Master Shen was so angry he was practically jumping. These healing Spirit Masters had been living in luxury under the Shen Family's care, yet they were useless at such a critical moment.

Hearing Old Master Shen's reprimand, the healing Spirit Masters felt helpless, but they truly had done their best. Some of them had even dealt with the Physical Body crystallization caused by the Spirit Beast, the Crystal Bear, but cases of petrification like this were rare even in the history of the continent.

Looking at the current situation, even if Shen Guyan could survive, he would likely spend his entire life lying in bed, reduced to a cripple.

"How could this happen..." Shen Yue's legs went weak, and it was only thanks to Shen Xing supporting her that she didn't fall and make a fool of herself.

The healing Spirit Masters looked at each other and finally plucked up the courage to look at Old Master Shen. "Master, actually, it's not entirely hopeless. Have you forgotten about that person..."

Old Master Shen naturally knew who they were referring to. At this point, he had no choice but to ask her to step in... Fortunately, the Shen Family had always maintained good relations with Shrek Academy and were both supporters of the Federation's Dove Faction. It could be said that both sides stood on the same front.

"Someone, go quickly and invite the Holy Spirit Douluo!"

The Holy Spirit Douluo? Hearing this term, most of those present looked completely bewildered.

To prevent anyone present from losing their manners when facing the Holy Spirit Douluo, Old Master Shen had Shen Guhong brief everyone on the story of the Holy Spirit Douluo—

The story of the Holy Spirit Douluo was not particularly well-known on the continent, simply because she never sought fame for herself. The Holy Spirit Douluo's Spirit was called the Praying Angel, a very special Spirit. It was a healing-type Spirit, but it was extremely difficult to increase one's Soul Power through Cultivation.

Legend has it that the Holy Spirit Douluo was born in the slums. Naturally kind-hearted, she loved helping others. From the day she became a Spirit Master, she began using her healing abilities to treat the poor.

The true cultivation method for her Praying Angel Spirit was to receive external Power Of Faith. As she treated each person, she would receive such energy from the patient. By the time she discovered this, she was already a Spirit King.

Later, a great plague broke out on the continent, and tens of thousands of people died in a short period. In just fifteen days, the Holy Spirit Douluo traveled across fourteen provinces of the continent, even continuously burning the Power Of Faith she had absorbed and her own life fire to enhance her ability to heal the sick.

By the time the last batch of plague patients was cured, she was on the verge of death and beyond help. When she was sent back to the academy, she had completely lost consciousness.

Later, as the patients gradually recovered, the Power Of Faith returned to her. After sleeping for a year, she soared directly from the Spirit Saint level to the Titled Douluo level. Because of this, she was hailed as the fastest person in the history of the Douluo Continent to progress from the seventh ring to the ninth ring, even surpassing Sea God Tang San and Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao.

Countless people she had treated didn't even know her name, yet they enshrined the title of the Praying Angel.

Consequently, countless people across the continent harbored secret crushes on her. Even if her appearance wasn't the number one on the continent, she was still called the kindest and most beautiful woman in the entire continent.

It was said that the spirit rings on the Holy Spirit Douluo's body far exceeded the normal optimal ratio, and she was the only supreme powerhouse in the world today who did not rely on the Spirit Ascension Platform to increase the age of her spirit rings.

The distance from Shrek Academy to Hailu City was not that far. Everyone believed that with the Holy Spirit Douluo's speed, it wouldn't take long for her to arrive... everyone thought so.

In the room, only Gu Yue stayed by Shen Guyan's side with teary eyes. Old Master Shen and Shen Guhong were aware of her true identity.

Now, the lower half of Shen Guyan's face was petrified. Even if Shen Guhong wanted to draw her own blood to replenish Shen Guyan's vitality through feeding, it was impossible.

"Brother... you will definitely get better..." Gu Yue pressed her head against Shen Guyan's hard chest, trying to give him the strength to recover his health.

At this moment, Shen Yue and Shen Xing walked in one after another. It was only then that they noticed this pitifully beautiful young girl.

"Qiong," Shen Yue spoke softly, "Once the Holy Spirit Douluo arrives, he will be fine."

Shen Xing, on the other hand, sized up Gu Yue. In terms of appearance, this was the first time the two sisters had felt outmatched by another girl of the same age.

Gu Yue only nodded with a dim expression. Now, she only wanted to see that high-spirited youth again, who would gently stroke her head as he always did.

After an unknown amount of time, light footsteps were heard in the courtyard. Drawn by their aura, Old Master Shen, who had been waiting there, looked up toward the courtyard gate.

Two women were walking quickly toward them.

Old Master Shen's expression changed because one of the women was none other than the current Vice Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, Leng Yaozhu.

Why did she come with the Holy Spirit Douluo?

The other woman's pace was very light. Her frequency didn't look high, but her speed was very fast. By the time everyone looked over, she and Leng Yaozhu had already reached them.

She wore an aqua-green dress and looked clean, elegant, and full of life. She was extremely beautiful with a lovely face, and her long dark green hair was draped behind her.

This Holy Spirit Douluo appeared to be about thirty years old. Her essence was contained within, and a gentle smile graced her face.

She immediately noticed Shen Guhong and casually sent a wave of gentle Soul Power into his abdomen.

Shen Guhong instantly felt an extremely warm aura spread from his abdomen to his entire body. All the damage caused by burning his Soul Power and life force in his mind and body vanished without a trace. Even the congestion in his chest caused by worrying about his Young Master was cleared by that gentle force, making him feel indescribably comfortable.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Holy Spirit." Shen Guhong bowed respectfully to the Holy Spirit Douluo.

"Where is Shen Guyan? How is he now?" Leng Yaozhu, standing aside, asked impatiently. Everyone could see that her exquisite face was currently filled with anxiety.
