Chapter 89 - Breakthrough After the Battle

Not long after Xiao Yan left, Flender and Zhao Wuji quickly arrived at the scene of devastation.

Given the terrifying earthquake just now, both were highly vigilant, in a state of Martial Soul manifestation.

A pair of enormous wings unfurled behind him, his entire body covered in feathers, and his eyes shone a golden-orange.

The number and color of his soul rings were the same as Zhao Wuji's, all seven, and in the optimal configuration, pulsating around his body.

Looking at the numerous ravines on the ground, especially the massive crater in the center, cracked with a dense spiderweb pattern and hundreds of meters in diameter, Zhao Wuji gasped, "Did a meteor fall and hit near our Shrek Academy?"

"Clearly not," Flender said, pushing up his glasses, immediately refuting Zhao Wuji's statement.

"If it were a meteor, the surroundings would be scorching hot, not like this."

Examining the scene, Flender analyzed, "Although the damage here is severe, upon closer inspection, this was the result of a clash between two Soul Masters' soul skills. It's just that the two individuals were far too powerful, creating such a mind-boggling effect."

Especially that huge pit; it should be the full-power strike of a strong-attack Title Douluo's ninth soul skill."

"Title Douluo!"

Even though he knew that a Title Douluo was a top-tier soul master, Zhao Wuji was still incredibly shocked by the effect this soul skill had.

His soul power level was currently at seventy-six, fifteen levels lower than a Title Douluo, but the difference in strength felt like a chasm that was impossible to cross.

Looking at Flender beside him, Zhao Wuji asked, "Which two seniors would come to fight in our little place?"

"I don't know. When you reach the Title Douluo level, how could we possibly guess?" Flender shook his head.

Title Douluos in the soul master world were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. It was already incredibly rare to encounter one.

Two Title Douluos appearing near Shrek Academy… who knew if it was a blessing or a curse? Flender said in a low voice, "Let's leave here first. Let's pretend we didn't see anything tonight."

Zhao Wuji nodded, looking at the large pit. He had a bad feeling about it.

The two came quickly and left quickly.

On the other side, Tang Hao didn't go very far after leaving; he stopped soon after.

A violent fit of coughing, and Tang Hao spat out another mouthful of dark red blood.

His original injuries weren't minor, and Xiao Yan's Sword of No Regret from two years ago had only added to them.

Even though he'd rested for two years, his body still hadn't fully recovered to its previous state.

I didn't expect that in the end, Clear Sky True Body plus the Ninth Soul Skill wouldn't even...

Tang Hao didn't continue, sighing deeply. A trace of bitterness appeared on his pale, old face.

"Ah Yin, is this your child with me? To have such strength at only twelve years old… I truly wonder how powerful his future will be? Perhaps…"

Tang Hao paused, his thoughts trailing off. He'd only heard of the "god" level.

Using his speed to the fullest, Xiao Yan quickly returned to the bedroom on the second floor of the courtyard he rented in Soto City.

"Martial Soul True Body, what a terrifying skill. After Tang Hao used his Martial Soul True Body, his already extremely powerful strength was instantly enhanced even further.

Although my own strength is also very great, I still need to work even harder to cultivate if I want to surpass Tang Hao's domineering hammer with my moves."

He poured himself a glass of water, and three spirit rings - red, black, and red - slowly emerged beneath Xiao Yan's feet. The first and third red spirit rings began to shimmer.

As the blue-gold vines rapidly wove together, the two red spirit rings merged into the lifelike vine bodies, and Xiao Xue and Xiao Yi reappeared beside Xiao Yan.

At the end of the previous battle, Xiao Yan had put them away to protect them from the massive impact.

It was better for one person to be injured than for all three to be.

As soon as she appeared, Xiao Xue went to Xiao Yan's side, her delicate hand touching his chest, and asked with concern, "Brother Xiao Yan, are you hurt?"

Xiao Yi, although not as direct as Xiao Xue, couldn't hide the worried expression in her purple eyes, which seemed to conceal a brilliant starry sky.

"You two protect me, I need to use my skills to recover for a while."

After drinking several mouthfuls of water, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on the ground and actively guided the Mysterious Heaven Skill to circulate.

Under the impetus of his inner strength, the medicinal power of the pill became easier to absorb, constantly releasing its effects.

The speed at which the gentle inner strength flowed through his meridians suddenly slowed down a lot. When it encountered some damaged meridians, the water-like inner strength, carrying the medicinal power, nourished the walls of the meridians, slowly wriggling and beginning to repair the injuries.

He had already mastered three veins of the Six Vein Swordplay. This time, Xiao Yan's injuries weren't severe, and the speed of recovery was much faster than last time.

After the meridian injuries were healed, Xiao Yan didn't open his eyes. Instead, he controlled his pure white inner strength to flow slowly through his meridians like a stream, strengthening and consolidating them overall.

This battle gave him a profound understanding, and the inner strength within him seemed to be on the verge of a breakthrough.

After the inner strength circulated through all his meridians, Xiao Yan immediately began to accelerate the operation of the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

When the Mysterious Heaven Skill reached an extremely rapid pace, the surrounding air, which had been as still as a stagnant pool of water, seemed suddenly to have a huge boulder thrown into it, creating massive waves.

Ripples of energy, like water waves, began to undulate.

Absorbing the surrounding heaven and earth energy, and after refining it with the Mysterious Heaven Skill, strands of pure, gaseous inner strength were forged and then rapidly flowed into his meridians.

In just a short time, Xiao Yan gained a large amount of inner strength.

As more and more gaseous inner strength was refined, under the operation of the skill, this gaseous inner strength gradually manifested a faint moisture, continuing to circulate within the meridians according to the skill's route.

After a moment, a small drop of pure white inner strength suddenly emerged.

As the first drop of liquid inner strength appeared, it was as if a chain reaction had occurred within Xiao Yan's meridians.

Drop after drop of pure white liquid inner strength continuously emerged from the misty inner strength, and finally, following the Mysterious Heaven Skill's circulation, it was like playful little fish, pouring into his Dantian.

This liquid inner strength usually took Xiao Yan several days of cultivation to condense.

But at this moment, he had quickly condensed more than ten drops.

Inside the Dantian, the inner strength that had been greatly depleted during the battle with Tang Hao was recovering at an extremely rapid pace. Not only that, but looking at the speed of the inner strength's recovery, there was also an increasing trend.
