Immediately sensing the significant danger coming towards it, the Spirit Monster bear attempted to gather its tremendous Martial Emperor Sea power. However, the beast suddenly felt its body run cold.
Let alone gather up energy, it couldn't even move its body at all now!
It all stemmed from a tremendous formless pressure that pressed down its body. From the corner of its vision, the beast barely saw, the massive stone doors inflame in a strange mix of purple and black.
Of course, this was the expansive might of Asura Spirit Power! A trap hidden inside the door was mobilized through the conjoined effort of the cousins. And the starting result was far beyond their expectations.
Initially, if any humans were to go through theses door, the door trap would be activated along with this beast. Only now, this was no longer a problem.
Although the cousins were feeling immensely drained. All of their Spirit Power was getting dragged into this door, leaving their forehead drenched with sweat.
Luke could tell after this they'll both need some time to regather all of their soul Spirit Power.
In the seconds the Spirit Monster bear was trapped, it still refused to give up. Its mouth was spasming, and its eyes dilated as it brought out its will to struggle against this trap power.
Towards the beast's new resolute will, the doors had then sparked!
'Chi!'
A magnificent bright flash illuminated the whole space. Cang Yue, Qingyue, and Lingxi all had to snap their eyes close just from the sheer intensity.
Only a second the flash lasted, and once reopening their eyes, the girls were a bit shocked. The same Martial Emperor Sea beast who had a grand entrance was now in a beyond pitiful state.
Drilling into its body like it was made of tofu were several black and purple Spirit lines! There weren't any mighty clashes of auras or senses of overwhelming power.
All because of the cousins' Asura Spirit Power did this Spirit Monster bear end up in such a pitiful state.
"Amazing you two...but what are you going to do now?" Lingxi breathlessly said while admiring the cousin's work. She and the other girls were of the same opinion since it looked like this was all the trap was.
"It's simple. Let's watch a disappearing act." Luke told them and sent his last wisp of Spirit Power into the door along with Andrea.
Lingxi and the girls were innately curious about what Luke meant, but they didn't have to wait long to see. At a moderate pace, the dominating Asura Spirit Power started to vaporize the beast's body!
Their Asura Power had a clear entrance to drill into its body and bypass all of its defenses. This was almost effortlessly for the cousins. And from the bulging eyes of the beast, they knew it was utterly helpless.
Starting from the beast's legs and going all over, did Luke's group witness the bear get swallowed by Asura Power. This level of pain and type of death was unimaginable to even think about for the youths.
And in only a few seconds, the Spirit Monster bear was utterly vaporized before their very eyes!
Just like that, despite being thousands of times weaker. Luke and Andrea achieved their first kill against a mighty Martial Emperor Sea being. And with little to no fighting on their part.
Taking their hands off the door, the cousins immediately felt light-headed and dizzy. Luke swayed when walking back but had promptly felt the warm, loving touch of Lingxi around his chest.
"Luke! Are you alright?!" She asked in a bit of a panic voice since Luke's face was dripping with sweat, and he looked like he was about to pass out at any second.
A cold but loving pair of hands wrapped over one of Luke's hands as he heard, "Perhaps we should take a rest? Or do you want to use one of those pills from the chests."
Qingyue and Lingxi's warm concerning tone had already started the mental healing process. The feeling of having your cute girlfriends put all of their concern in your health was more unique than say when Andrea does it.
And it wasn't over yet as Cang Yue's warm hands wrapped over Luke's other hand as she said to him, "Fuu, you and Andrea have really been pushing yourself ever since our earlier battles. You two can take it easy now…"
Cang Yue said it in a serene, soothing tone that nearly made Luke want to just take a rest on her fabulous thighs while she swooned him to sleep.
'This is actually pretty good for us. I can tell now if you take a part of the flower, you'll regain most of your Spirit Power back and visit that world to gain a Spirit.' Spooky informed Luke, making him a bit excited.
Luke guessed because of pushing his Spirit Power to the edge. He'll reach a deeper level of profoundness in which he can call out to an Asura Spirit.
Now he was merely a step away from meeting that proud girl. But first…
"Andy and I are fine. We're only a bit fatigued from overextending our Spirit Power. I think we'll be safer once we're in these doors. Though, I wouldn't mind my cute girls aiding me to one hundred percent while walking."
Luke not so subtly suggested at the end, causing all three of the girls to ruefully smile. Even after just scoring this outstanding kill, Luke didn't seem really affected at all and already wanted to venture on.
"Hmm, you did work quite hard for us. But for a rogue like you... I'll be sure to properly...reward you later." Qingyue was trailing off a bit at the end, but she still faced Luke, giving him an adorable bashful look.
"Oh my. I haven't even thought about such rewards. And since Qingyue brought it to attention...Fufufu~, I think you'll quite like mine, Luke~." Cang Yue had a more sensual tone, and her face held this faint sexy blush.
Indeed, every time Luke saves or perfectly defends them, the girls get fueled up, wanting to get stronger and do something nice for their caring boyfriend. And they all knew the perfect nice way Luke will love.

"You already know I'll be giving you my sweet rewards later, Luke! But...Andrea, do you also want some help." Luke noticed the warmth behind his chest was gone as he heard Lingxi's sweet voice called to Andrea.
She already neared Andrea with a cute broad smile. Compared to Qingyue and Cang Yue, Lingxi didn't find Andrea that intimidating or daunting now. In fact, she was kind of endearing in her own way to Lingxi.
Andrea was leaning herself on the door until Lingxi walked over to her. Raising an eyebrow at her, she said, "I suppose if little Luke is getting help, it won't hurt to do it as well."
"I knew you would be open to it!" Brightly smiling, Lingxi took Andrea's hand, giving her support to lean on. Similar to what Lingxi felt, Andrea too felt more comfortable around her than the other girls.
Though Andrea just chalked it up to the fact recently, she was the one that had to take Lingxi when they encountered a perilous situation.
Still, Andrea can at least attest to finding her bubbly personality a bit charming now.
"Alright, then. Shall we see what prizes lie ahead now?" Luke said to the girls who all collectively nodded. After all those trials and tribulations, it was finally time to reap what they earned!
The five of them walked out from the side of the doors and headed straight in them. Promptly, the group came upon a cave after crossing the stone doors.
The cave was vast and tall, looking untouched for years.
Furthermore, when Luke's group was walking into this cave, both inside and outside did the rocks of this place emitted a strange yet enchanting purple glow.
The cave only had this odd, ominous black light on the outside, but only after walking a few feet inside the cave did Luke's group eyes lit up.
They had immediately stumbled upon a treasure trove! The place was a small circular room, and near the back wall was their special rewards.
Floating in mid-air was a translucent crystal-like jade tablet that emitted a faint purple glow. And under this tablet were several crystal treasure boxes all in sleek, unique designs.
Beyond these treasures, on the wall, was elegant cursive writing that drew in the group's attention. Walking up closer on the wall they all read,
"Starting from Spiritual Xiantian could one gain the mysterious ability to fly. Yet it's not so practical in this realm since it requires energy to use. With the later Realms of cultivation, can one negate this side effect. However, we're still not truly flying.
For countless years I was stuck at the Martial Emperor Sea Realm and at the Purple Cloak of World Spiritists. And over time, I became desperate about my bottleneck in cultivation. I looked for numerous ways to breakthrough until I realize something.
We're not at one with the natural elements of wind, but instead, we're pushing against it.
I did not cultivate the Laws of Wind, but through the mind-numbing time of comprehension and work, could I finally create the technique 'One For Wind.' With this, I was able to truly soar throughout the air, gaining speed that far surpassed my level, and people who do cultivate Wind Laws.
Naturally, this kind of state was far too rulebreaking and profound to let out, and I kept my legacy hidden well away here. To the one that made it here, this technique only scratches the surface of becoming one with the element. Whether or not you can dive deeper depends all on you…"
After reading this writing, Luke reminded of the Imperial Sky Sage from Martial God Asura. But for this version of the Sage, he seemed to come upon a new route that still allowed him to flow through the air.
"This person...Martial Emperor Sea cultivators have millennials of lifespans. To put all of his years into this one technique, I wonder just how profound is it…" Cang Yue thought out loud, feeling a bit of admiration for this man.
To cultivate a technique upon an element, you have zero affinity with takes some hardcore dedication. And when Luke glanced at the translucent jade tablet, he could read,
"One For Wind."
The girls were just about to go up and start inspecting the treasures until Luke suddenly called out saying, "Hold up, before we start collecting our spoils here, now the perfect opportunity to gain a World Spirit."
"A World Spirit?!"
Lingxi and Cang Yue both snapped their heads towards Luke, clearly excited. Doing it sync caused the two to look over to each other smiling before Lingxi carried on saying,
"Wait, but how are we all going to gain a World Spirit? Don't we have to be in the blue cloak realm for that?" Lingxi had always found it incredibly cool about gaining a fairy tale World Spirit that'll become your life companion.
Luke knew it was because she was interested in the base thought of interacting with another creature that wasn't from their world.
While with Cang Yue, she held more of genuine hardcore interest in all aspects of World Spiritists. And gaining a World Spirit is one of the most defining moments for a World Spiritists.
Qingyue didn't show many reactions though she couldn't deny she was curious about these Spirits. It kind of reminds her of her own special sword.
"It's all because of that flower Luke tore out from that beast. It'll level you guys up to blue cloak easily. Inside this cave, we're completely safe and hidden away, plus I don't think that flower will last for so long inside the ring, right?"
Andrea was the one who spoke up and explained to the girls. Gaining a World Spirit for her was like gaining another weaker Yurei type of Spirit.
Flashing his Spatial ring, Luke brought out the same sickly purplish flower that exuded a faint purple glow.
Thought the glow seemed a bit dimmer compared to before, the flower was still in top tier shape nonetheless.
'Just use our soul power to split up this plant for your girlfriends. The natural berserk energy would get suppressed, allowing them to absorb the Spirit energy and breakthrough. Andrea can handle the full blunt on her own.'
Following what Spooky said, under the girls' anticipating eyes, Luke wrapped the whole flower up in blue lightning. While he couldn't use any soul Spirit Power, for now, he'll never run out of regular soul power.
Carefully and with a bit of Spooky's aid, Luke Split up the flower into five different portions. None of this Spiritual Natural Oddity energy was wasted thanks to Luke's power.
"Don't resist it now."
Luke told the girls as he floated three parts of the flower to the girl's mouth. It was a bit of an odd way, but the girls opened their mouths regardless, showing their great trust in Luke.
Carefully, Luke dropped the plants into their mouth. His soul power instantly acted on its own and headed straight for their Spirit Powers.
All three of the girls suddenly felt tremendous energy refresh their whole bodies! They closed their eyes and focused on cultivating and breakthrough to the blue cloak realm.
Once he finished with the girls, Luke already noticed the fourth portion of his flower was missing. Looking over to Andrea, she already went ahead and grabbed it by her black lightning.
Focusing on himself now, Luke popped his portion of the flower into his mouth. With ease, he and Spooky controlled the berserk energy and swiftly absorbed back his lost Spirit Power.
After a few seconds of absorption, Luke felt his soul Spirit Power had subtly changed, and he felt a slight calling for his soul.
His eyes were already closed on the outside world.
But from a shift in his soul, Luke had snapped open to a strange but familiar world now. A world that looked daunting and terrifying but gave Luke a sense of closeness.
The Asura Spirit World!
Like always, the clouds here were pitch black gases, and massive extravagant mountains expanding for miles still floated in the air.
Luke looked around a bit, observing the world until he realized someone was missing. 'Spooky, are you not coming with?'
'No, my presence disturbs the ones here. I can send you here, but if I were to truly come, the one who called you would just get scared off.'
Now that she mentioned it, Luke did sense far more presence around him, and the faint calling from before got intensely stronger.
Moreover, he felt a burning pair of eyes watching from high above.
"You! How long are you going to make this Queen wait?!"
Hearing that way of talking combined with a natural air of charming confidence, Luke cracked a small smile.
Turning and looking up, Luke came across one of the most spectacular sights he had ever seen since coming to this universe...
