Chapter 15 – 10Th Rank (1/2)

A countless number of blue specks of light congregated from all around him, quietly boring into his body and permeating throughout.

Tang Wulin felt as if he was soaking in a blue ocean as countless tiny voices blanketed and called out to him.

The distinctive fragrance of Bluesilver Gra.s.s permeated into every cell in his body. The soul power within his dantian took on a warm feeling as it began to unfold.

In Tang Wulin's perception, everything began to turn a bizarre blue color. The scent of Bluesilver Gra.s.s was present everywhere in his body.

Faint golden lines lit up on his forehead with the same pattern as before, extending outwards. After extending all over his skin, the golden lines gradually withdrew.

His body shone as he sat there in meditation. One moment it was a faint blue color and in the next the light s.h.i.+ning from his body had traces of gold.

Early morning.

“Lin Lin, Lin Lin… “ Lang Yue's anxious voice resounded in the streets.

Inside the small garden, Tang Wulin stirred from his cross-legged sitting position and slowly awoke from his meditative state. The morning dew moistened his lapels, but at this very moment he felt an indescribable feeling penetrating throughout his whole body.

“Lin Lin, Lin Lin…” Lang Yue's distinct voice was heard.

“Mom, I'm over here.” Tang Wulin hurriedly responded as he got off the lawn and ran over.

As he hurried to answered his mother's call, he could feel that his body was much more relaxed than before.

“You child, why are you out here? You nearly worried me to death.” Lang Yue said sternly as she examined her son.

“I'm sorry mom. I was meditating in the garden. I think I've broken through to the 10th rank.” Although Tang Wulin wasn't sure, the changes in his body indicated that he had most likely had a breakthrough.

Lang Yue gaped at him for a moment before she lowered her head to examine her son. Tang Wulin's height already reached her shoulders. Although his body was a bit moist, his skin still glistened with the l.u.s.ter of a gem and he was looking to her with a pair of large spirited eyes.

“Listen to mom's words. Your safety is the most important thing. Let's go home then. I'll cook you some breakfast.” Lang Yue kissed his head a few times before she held onto his hand and walked him home.

“You've made a breakthrough?” When Tang Ziran found out that his son had made a breakthrough, he was very happy. “Since you think you've made a breakthrough, we'll go to the academy today and test you. If you really have made a breakthrough, then I'll take you to buy a spirit soul tomorrow.”

“Long live dad!” Tang Wulin cheered.

“Na'er, what's the matter? Aren't you happy for big brother?” Tang Wulin was in high spirits, but he discovered that unexpectedly, Na'er was a bit different today. Usually she would gorge herself on breakfast first thing in the morning, but she just sat there with a blank stare today. None of his excitement had rubbed off on her.

“Ah? Nothing's the matter! Congratulations big brother!” Na'er gave him a sweet smile before digging into her breakfast.

Tang Wulin thought she was down because she didn't have a martial soul, so he didn't pursue the topic.

In fact, Tang Wulin's guess about his breakthrough was correct. After arriving at the academy, he told Teacher Lin Ximeng about his feeling and was then taken to undergo the soul power test. The apparatus displayed that his soul power had indeed reached rank 10.

Every ten soul power ranks, Soul Masters would require a soul ring in order to break through to the next rank. They could kill a soul beast to obtain a soul ring, but soul beasts were too rare nowadays. It was much more common for people to choose the second method, of obtaining a spirit soul manufactured by the Spirit PaG.o.da.
