Chapter 63 - Chapter 63: Lying Low

Spirit Master talent?

Tang Wulin's gaze dimmed.

This was a critical flaw he couldn't overcome.

"Wulin, you don't need to be discouraged. Given the current conditions in the Spirit Master world, even with a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, you have a chance to cultivate further," Mu Chen said. "If you focus on forging, your teacher can prepare heavenly and earthly treasures for you, using them to raise your cultivation to at least the Spirit Sage level."

Tang Wulin took a deep breath and politely declined Mu Chen's proposal.

"Teacher, I haven't given up hope. I believe that with my effort, even with a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, I can reach the pinnacle of the Spirit Master world."

Forging Competition Venue. After Su Ming left, several figures flickered into appearance.

"Sovereign, he has the aura of Faith on him." A flash of killing intent passed through Di Tian's golden eyes.

"Di Tian!"

Gu Yue's tone was severe, causing Di Tian's killing intent to instantly withdraw.

Di Tian looked at Gu Yue, puzzled.

"Do not act rashly. This Su Ming's identity is not simple; too many powerful individuals are watching from the shadows."

Gu Yue's single sentence made Di Tian behave.

It wasn't that they were afraid of the powerful experts behind Su Ming, but rather that for their race to revive, they could not be exposed now. Once news of several Fierce Beasts appearing got out, their plans would be cut short.

"Just now, there were at least three Super Douluo-level spiritual powers covering the area," Gu Yue said calmly.

A trace of wariness flashed in her eyes.

After all, she was currently in her reincarnated form, with most of her original cultivation sealed.

Her injuries were still too severe. All she could do was preserve her core essence to complete a reincarnation similar to that of a hundred-thousand-year beast's human transformation. Even this original power she had to accept gradually to repair the residual injuries within it and sort out her own origin.

"Three?" Bear Lord was greatly surprised.

He had only sensed Zhang Tianyang's spiritual power, not anyone else.

"Su Ming has fluctuations of Faith on him. The Spirit Soul God might be related to him, but since he uses Faith for forging, the connection to the Spirit Soul God is probably not strong," Gu Yue said.

She was pondering just what identity Su Ming held.

Even from her perspective, the power Su Ming displayed was seriously exceeding standards.

God of Forging?

Had the long-developed forging system finally welcomed a Son of Destiny to inherit its fortune?

Su Ming returned to the Spirit Transmission Pagoda.

After discussing with Zhang Tianyang, he learned that while he was savoring the experience of Spirit Refinement, five additional powerful spiritual forces had been active nearby. His heart sank.

"The stir you caused this time is too big," Zhang Tianyang sighed.

He felt bitter, feeling he could barely handle it anymore.

"Five powerful spiritual forces. Two were about on par with your teacher, and three were unfamiliar spiritual forces your teacher couldn't identify," Zhang Tianyang laid out the truth to Su Ming. "Your teacher has some guesses about those two similar ones: one should be an elder from your Body Sect side, the other is someone from the Spirit Transmission Pagoda here. The last three were somewhat special, feeling like they had reached the Limit Douluo level."

Su Ming's expression turned grim.

Three Limit Douluos appearing?

Even in this era, that was unusual.

There were many forces capable of gathering three Limit Douluos simultaneously, but few could gather three great Limits in a small city like Tianhai, and in the current Tianhai City at that.

He quickly narrowed it down and finally locked onto one faction.

The Spirit Beast tribe!

Gu Yue!

"If it's them, then I can relax a bit… like hell!"

That brainless fool Bear Lord was prone to acting out at any moment.

How could anyone relax because of that?

"I need to find a safer place," Su Ming decided internally.

He pondered where would be safer and what reason he could use to persuade Zhang Tianyang.

"Xiao Ming, after this Tianhai Alliance competition ends, you should leave Tianhai City for a while."

"Huh?"

A pillow delivered just as sleepiness arrives?

"The effect of that Spirit Soul of yours is too strong. Although the various branches of the Spirit Transmission Pagoda have autonomy, they are ultimately one body. The anomaly of the Tianhai Spirit Transmission Pagoda's Spirit Souls has also attracted the attention of the headquarters."

Su Ming understood.

Lying low!

"Then, teacher, where should I go?"

"The influence range of your Spirit Soul is not small. Even when you're not at the Spirit Transmission Pagoda, it can affect the Pagoda's Spirit Souls. It's very likely that no matter which city you go to, you will attract the attention of that city's Spirit Transmission Pagoda."

Su Ming's mouth twitched.

It seemed the light sphere using Spirit Soul Faith Power to condense a body wasn't entirely a good thing after all.

"Go to Heaven Dou City first. Take shelter at the Blacksmith Association headquarters in Heaven Dou City. With the Divine Blacksmith and the Body Douluo there, your safety can be guaranteed."

Su Ming nodded.

He agreed with this.

Returning to the cultivation room, Su Ming digested the day's events.

"The harvest from the forging competition is truly huge. I consumed at least ten units of Faith for the Spirit Refinement, and I still have fifty units left…"

Su Ming's eyebrows raised.

His rate of harvesting Faith was now extremely fast, increasing every moment.

"Could it be some kind of heartfelt recognition?"

Su Ming guessed he was now considered the number one forging genius in many people's hearts.

Unprecedented in a thousand ages!

"I wonder if this can become a fixed income," Su Ming thought gleefully.

While he was still feeling pleased, his spirit communication device started beeping frantically.

"Hello? Teacher?"

"You performed Spirit Refinement?"

It was Zhen Hua on the other end.

"Teacher, you already know?" Su Ming was surprised.

"Not just me, probably the entire upper echelon of the forging world will know about you in a couple of days," Zhen Hua said exasperatedly.

Spirit Refinement meant Grandmaster.

A ten-year-old Grandmaster—this was earth-shattering news in any field.

"Teacher, will there be danger?" Su Ming asked carefully.

"In normal circumstances, there wouldn't be danger, but you can't avoid potential assassinations. You should come to Heaven Dou City as soon as possible. Your teacher Zhen Hua and your teacher Mu Ye can still guarantee your safety."

"I'll come after the competition ends."

"Mm. Mu Ye is already on his way to you. He'll bring you directly when he arrives."

Ending the communication, Su Ming took a deep breath.

He had played a bit too big this time.

But it seemed… safe?

Su Ming ran through his list of backers in his mind, and his anxious heart gradually settled.

"Light sphere."

He released the light sphere.

"We should practice your new talent."

The light sphere asked doubtfully, "Is there any point?"

The light sphere could sense that condensing an avatar was essentially just a projection, projecting a part of its abilities over, utilizing Faith Power to manifest them.

It couldn't transmit messages and required a great deal of effort to feel around and experiment". Was there any need to develop such a talent?

"Of course there's a point."

Su Ming stated righteously.

How could there not be a point?

"In my idea, if your avatar can be sealed away and used when needed, then there is a point to developing it."

"Sealed away?"

The light sphere showed a puzzled expression.

Between its brows, the six-colored petals glowed, as if it were thinking.
