After the Spirit Bone shattered, its light origin was stripped away and surged towards Su Ming's body.
The remaining True Dragon bloodline condensed into a giant dragon phantom in mid-air, roaring towards the sky.
Seeing this, Du Busi directly grabbed it.
"Don't disturb my disciple's breakthrough!" he roared, crushing the dragon phantom. His body became like a vortex, instantly swallowing the dragon's bloodline power.
After suppressing the dragon bloodline, he turned his gaze back to Su Ming.
He could feel this bloodline power within him converging towards his right arm bone, transforming it.
He suppressed it slightly, slowing down the process. Now was the critical period for Su Ming's breakthrough, and he needed to maintain his peak condition.
"The fusion of this Three-Star Secret Art Spirit Bone itself had many flaws. Although it preserved some characteristics of a Secret Art Spirit Bone, it still caused conflicts because it had parts of a physical Spirit Bone. This fusion method is actually more perfect," Electrolux realized during his control that Su Ming's choice was better.
"Supplemented by this part of the light origin, the defects of this Secret Art Spirit Bone will be remedied. The final effect will be no less than the fusion of a 100,000-Year Secret Art Spirit Bone and a 100,000-Year Spirit Bone."
Su Ming had no mind to pay attention to these matters anymore.
He was fully controlling his Spirit Power, preventing it from running wild.
The fusion of the Battle Armor plus the amplification from the Spirit Bone instantly boosted his Spirit Power, which had reached a bottleneck, to a level far exceeding the critical point.
"Condense!"
Strange lights flickered on his Battle Armor, dazzling and mesmerizing, as if a vortex phantom faintly emerged within it.
In the area of Su Ming's middle Dantian, a Spirit Power vortex appeared from nothing and expanded in the blink of an eye.
The amplification effect of the Secret Art Spirit Bone was roughly as Su Ming had anticipated, about a one hundred percent increase.
This Secret Art Spirit Bone was simply too top-tier. At least twenty-plus ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts must have been used during its creation. It was unknown how that Evil Spirit Master managed it.
Especially since, before creating this Spirit Bone, that Evil Spirit Master wasn't even an Evil Spirit Master yet.
It just goes to show that human potential is limitless when doing bad deeds.
The one hundred percent Spirit Power amplification allowed Su Ming's second Spirit Core to complete its formation from condensation in an instant.
The most difficult step in condensing a second Spirit Core was crossed by him in a mere moment.
Of course, the prerequisites were there: Electrolux fully activating the Spirit Core's faith, Douluo 3 Su Ming's half-year of prior research into twin Spirit Core condensation techniques and experience, and Douluo 2 Su Ming's personally designed Spirit-Condensing Battle Armor tailored for himself.
"He broke through!" Du Busi was extremely excited.
He really succeeded!
Level 48, Twin Spirit Cores.
Was this really a feat achievable by a human?
Although he knew Su Ming had prepared extensively for this, Du Busi still found it hard to imagine that his disciple had condensed a second Spirit Core before him.
And succeeded on the first try.
While happy for his disciple, he was also excited for himself, because he could glean much experience from Su Ming's breakthrough.
The order was reversed.
But none of that mattered anymore.
As long as he could break through the limits, any method was good.
The Spirit-Condensing Battle Armor... unfortunately, it couldn't provide him with effective amplification for the time being.
Half a month later.
Su Ming finally stabilized the operation of his Spirit Cores.
He had not adopted the Yin-Yang Complementarity condensation method.
In the Douluo 3 era, there was simply no such distinction, as it was unnecessary.
"In this current era, the maximum a Spirit Master can condense is two Spirit Cores. Therefore, a distinction in quality was made for twin Spirit Cores, with Yin-Yang Complementarity being far superior to Co-position Resonance. However, in the Douluo 3 era, the situation was vastly different. Three Spirit Cores were the top-tier configuration, and whether using Triple Resonance or Dual Complementarity for three Spirit Cores, the effects were similar."
With the final results being similar, naturally, no one pursued Yin-Yang Complementarity during the twin Spirit Core stage anymore.
Rather than wasting energy pursuing Yin-Yang Complementarity at the twin Spirit Core stage, it was better to focus on achieving three Spirit Cores.
"Even with Co-position Resonance, twin Spirit Cores are more than twice as powerful as a single Spirit Core."
Su Ming contemplated the operation of his own Spirit Cores and immediately felt their profound mystery.
That sense of resonance made him somewhat intoxicated.
"Two Dantians, two spaces, resonating with each other. The fluctuations generated are enough for me to perceive the vibrations of space more keenly, thus comprehending space."
Although Su Ming had a considerable affinity for space even before having twin Spirit Cores, he now felt that his previous self was just playing around.
If before he could understand all the math problems, now he could analyze the intent behind the questions from the perspective of the problem setter.
He shifted from analyzing and studying space to becoming one with it, feeling the changes in space from space's own perspective.
"The quality of Spirit Power has been compressed once again, but it hasn't solidified. This is the power of twin Spirit Cores."
To be honest, a Spirit Core is already solidified Spirit Power; it's just that under the operation of powerful force, the solidified Spirit Power maintains its fluidity.
Normally, Spirit Power quality would solidify upon reaching ten. Under the effect of a single Spirit Core, this critical point could be raised to at least thirty.
But twin Spirit Cores could raise this critical point to over one hundred!
"At least for a considerable period in the future, I won't have to worry about the issue of Spirit Core condensation."
"Not necessarily."
Electrolux poured cold water on his optimism.
"With your rate of improvement, even if twin Spirit Cores allow you to cultivate to level 70, it might take no more than five years."
Five years?
Su Ming's mouth twitched.
He thought about it seriously and found that five years was a conservative estimate.
He might have a chance to reach level 70 in three or four years.
Because in the time to come, he would undergo multiple qualitative changes.
Not to mention the future; he had already undergone one transformation previously.
"The cultivation speed for a Spirit King is significantly slower than for a Spirit Ancestor, but I estimate mine won't decrease after breaking through to Spirit King."
Even though a Three-Star Secret Art Spirit Bone doubled his total Spirit Power and twin Spirit Cores greatly enhanced his Spirit Power quality, his overall leveling pace wouldn't slow down.
It might even be faster.
"And there's the Martial Soul's Second Awakening, the 100,000-Year Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone, and the Immortal Herbs!"
Su Ming took a deep breath, his gaze becoming sharp.
Everything still needed to be obtained.
To the side, Du Busi silently observed his disciple, nodding inwardly.
It was good that he could stabilize.
"Teacher, it's time for you to break through too," Su Ming said.
"It's not enough."
Du Busi let out a bitter laugh and shook his head.
Even though his right arm bone had transformed, suddenly rising from 50,000-Year level to rival a 100,000-Year Spirit Bone, the boost for him wasn't yet great enough to allow him to step over the threshold of the limit in one go.
"If it's not enough, then we add more!"
Su Ming's words were firm and powerful, ringing with conviction.
"Wasn't my breakthrough a good example?"
Du Busi's eyes flickered.
He vaguely understood what Su Ming meant.
Pile up treasures.
But, at his level, how many treasures remained that could be used to accumulate power for him?
As for the Spirit-Condensing Battle Armor?
Even if made from Spirit Alloy, a Battle Armor at the Thousand Refinement level was only One-Word.
Upgrading it to Spirit Refinement level would make it Two-Word.
Du Busi didn't have the concepts of One-Word or Two-Word, but he knew that the current pinnacle of forging couldn't produce a Battle Armor that met his needs yet.
"Teacher, what if we go a step further?"
