"Haha, great success, great success!"
Emerging from the Sunset Forest, Xiao Xiao was seen skipping at the very front, clearly in excellent spirits.
This was because the spirit beast hunt had been remarkably successful. Not only did she obtain a 10,000-year Fourth Ring, but she also acquired a 10,000-year external spirit bone.
Just moments ago, Yuwen Tuo also absorbed the Seven-Colored Fire Phoenix's spirit ring without much danger, officially advancing to Spirit King. His current spirit power level was at the peak of Level 54, approaching Level 55.
To achieve this level, he didn't rely solely on one spirit ring. Don't forget, he absorbed the Flame Blade Emperor's spirit bone at Level 50. At that time, his spirit power would have inevitably increased, but it couldn't be displayed then because he didn't have a spirit ring.
Although he was crippled by Shrek for six years, in the year and more since he emerged, he had made an incredible resurgence. Relying on his innate Level 20 foundation, in less than two years, he burst through over thirty levels. This rate of progress was simply breathtaking.
In fact, Xiao Xiao's cultivation speed was not slow either. In the same amount of time, she also gained over twenty levels. This was all thanks to the cultivation methods Yuwen Tuo imparted,
the Profound Water Pills and Spirit Ascension Pills he provided. Of course, most importantly, it was the four spirit bones three 10,000-year level ones, plus one 100,000-year spirit bone—that allowed her spirit power to increase like a rocket.
Yuwen Tuo's newly acquired fifth spirit ability, named "Heavenly Rainbow Cascades," would, when activated, increase his overall flame power by 200%, equivalent to twice the attribute amplification of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.
It could also unleash the Seven Absolute Rainbow Flames, which were the seven types of flames the Seven-Colored Fire Phoenix was most proficient in. However, after unleashing them, he would temporarily lose the Heavenly Rainbow Cascades state.
This was an area-of-effect attack skill, different from the Fire Meteor Stream unleashed by his Fourth Spirit Ability, "Red Earth Thousand Miles." When attacking, he also had to be careful not to let the azure flame, which represented the flame of life, hit enemies, as it was a healing flame and hitting someone with it was equivalent to healing them.
"Five spirit abilities, amplifying Attack, Speed, Defense, Strength, and Attributes respectively," Miao Xin tallied the wondrous uses of Yuwen Tuo's five spirit abilities, smiling. "This child of yours is practically a walking Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. What else do you plan to amplify with your sixth spirit ability? Spirit power?"
Yuwen Tuo shook his head, "No, for the next spirit ring, I'm not considering any amplification. Instead, I'll determine it by the spirit beast's age. I want to try challenging a 100,000-year level."
"100,000 years, you're truly confident. But seeing how easily you absorbed this 50,000-year spirit ring, it's not impossible to try. Don't rush, you are a prodigy of our Body Sect. No matter what kind of spirit beast you want, our Body Sect will strive to find it for you," Miao Xin said.
She knew Yuwen Tuo's potential was far greater than Long Aotian's. If only he wasn't uninterested in the position of Body Sect Master.
Otherwise, if he wanted to contend for it, no one would likely be able to compete with him.
The three quickly returned to the Body Sect. As soon as they entered the sect gates, they heard loud banging and clanging sounds of fighting coming from within.
"Young Sect Master, we truly can't go on. Please, spare us. You are simply too strong; we are no match for you," Wang Yanfeng's familiar voice reached Yuwen Tuo's ears.
He saw that Wang Yanfeng's palms were completely red, but there were no wounds on them. It seemed he wasn't hit by someone, but rather he hit others, and was then affected by the powerful rebound force, resulting in his current state.
It wasn't just him; Chen Yu's wings were shedding feathers all over the ground, Chen Lu's calves were swollen thicker than his thighs, and Gu Tong's eyes were sore and teary.
All of them were defeated in their strongest aspects, utterly unable to retaliate.
The person was undoubtedly Long Aotian. It seemed that today, this Young Sect Master was training the incompetent disciples of the sect.
"Get up, all of you, get up! The Sect Master said that we, the younger generation, are the future of the sect. I haven't even used one-third of my strength, and all of you are already down. What kind of behavior is this?" Long Aotian roared repeatedly. For some reason, he seemed particularly agitated today.
Wang Yanfeng's eyes lit up when he saw Yuwen Tuo and the others entering, "Junior Brother, Junior Brother Yuwen, you're finally back! Quick, come save your Senior Brothers!"
They knew that although Yuwen Tuo was very young, his strength was extraordinary. After all, even the Gluttony Douluo Xuanzi had died at his hands. Although they heard it was a loophole seized during a siege by ferocious beasts, would anyone else dare to casually venture into a battlefield between ferocious beasts and a Gluttony Douluo?
It was likely that even a slight aftermath would be enough to kill them.
Being able to exploit a loophole in a battlefield between a Super Douluo and ferocious beasts already proved Yuwen Tuo's extraordinary strength.
Long Aotian turned his head. Seeing Yuwen Tuo's return, a surge of pleasant surprise went through him. "Haha, Junior Brother Yuwen is back! Was the spirit beast hunt successful?"
Although Yuwen Tuo was now an elder of the Body Sect, he wasn't accustomed to being addressed as such, as it made him seem very old. At his strong request, Long Aotian and the others usually still referred to him as Junior Brother.
Yuwen Tuo nodded, "Indeed, it was successful. I have successfully advanced to Spirit King."
A series of gasps echoed through the training ground. Four months ago, when Yuwen Tuo first entered the sect, he was merely a peak Spirit Grandmaster. Now, he had actually leaped over a dozen levels to become a Spirit King.
They also guessed that it was the spirit beast embryo and 100,000-year spirit bone rewarded by the Sect Master that played a role, but this rate of progress was still a bit too terrifying.
It was important to note that Yuwen Tuo's current age was still a few months shy of fourteen, yet he had already achieved the Spirit King realm.
This had already caught up to Long Aotian, who also achieved the Spirit King level when he was around thirteen to fourteen years old.
Yuwen Tuo looked at Long Aotian and said, "Senior Brother Long, I see that these Senior Brothers have reached their limits. I've just advanced and am in need of a thorough and satisfying battle to adapt to the new power within my body. How about I accompany you in a fight?"
Yuwen Tuo proactively challenged him. His next goal was to focus entirely on cultivating his spirit power and completing the second awakening of his core martial soul.
Therefore, before that, it would be best to personally experience the power of a second-awakened core martial soul.
The most suitable person for this was none other than Long Aotian.
The other members of the Body Sect, those elders and such, were too strong. At the Spirit Douluo to Titled Douluo level, Yuwen Tuo couldn't force them into their second awakening state.
As for the ordinary disciples, their strength was too weak. Even if they activated their second awakening, they wouldn't pose any threat to Yuwen Tuo.
Long Aotian was just right.
Long Aotian agreed with delight upon hearing this. "Hahaha, good! As expected of Junior Brother Yuwen, who can even slay a Gluttony Douluo amidst a horde of fierce beasts. You truly have courage, much stronger than these incompetent Junior Brothers.
Now that you've broken through to Spirit King, you'll be proceeding with the second awakening of your core martial soul, right? Then, your Senior Brother is willing to provide strong assistance, to repay your kindness for the torso spirit bone you gave me."
"Senior Brother Long, please go first!" Yuwen Tuo modestly deferred.
Long Aotian, as the Senior Brother, stepped onto the soul battle stage first, followed closely by Yuwen Tuo.
Their battle had not even begun, yet it attracted the attention of the entire sect.
Even many of the Titled Douluo elders came to watch, partly to see the combat power of the sect's two most outstanding children, and partly to ensure their safety.
After all, on the soul battle stage, spirit abilities had no eyes; harming either of them would be a loss to the Body Sect. These two children were both treasures of the Body Sect.
Jin Peng said with a smile, "Heh heh, good. Young people should have such vigor and competitive spirit. Tuo'er's spirit power has advanced too quickly recently, and he needs a battle to stabilize his combat power.
And Aotian has always had a smooth life; he should encounter some setbacks. No matter who wins or loses between the two children, it will be beneficial to them."
