Chapter 180 - Improvemen (1/2)

This whirlpool compressed his soul power and barely took up any room in his dantian.

The bitterness had ended and the sweetness began the moment Tang Wulin awoke.

“We should go now.” Due to their one week delay, their one month vacation had already pa.s.sed. In fact, as a teacher, Wu Zhangkong was supposed to report in a few days earlier than students and was already late.

“Teacher Wu, thank you.” Tang Wulin sincerely spoke his thanks as they walked to the soul train station.

This trip actually wasn't particularly enriching for him as he spent most of his time cultivating, but still, he was bursting with joy.

During this trip in Heaven Dou City, he laid eyes on the sculptures of the almighty and legendary Tang Sect figures and officially joined the Tang Sect. He also started cultivating two Tang Sect methods; the Mysterious Heaven Method and the Purple Demon Eyes. In both he had reached a relatively high level and held a basic comprehension of the two.

He managed to acquire a thousand-year Dragonscale Fruit, one of the four spirit items he needed and later evolved his spirit soul. Every one of these events had been a major event for him.

Although he didn't know how much his strength had grown, he could feel a fundamental change in his entire being.

The Mysterious Heaven Method helped consolidate his understanding of the changes brought about by his spirit soul's evolution on his own body. I have a thousand-year spirit soul now, a thousand-year spirit soul! I'm probably the only student in the academy whose first soul ring is at the thousand-year level!

These events solidified his foundation and would aid him as he developed as a Soul Master. Although the timeframe posed some problem to him, especially the risk he faced when it came time to break the second seal, all of this was a problem for the future. For now, he was developing quite nicely.

“I only showed you the way. The only person you can rely on is yourself.” Wu Zhangkong said.

Tang Wulin stared, dumbfounded. He clearly remembered his father telling him the same thing. 'In this world, the only person you can rely on and trust is yourself.'

These words were carved into his heart. He never expected Wu Zhangkong to say something so similar.

Yearning welled up in his heart. Mom, dad, where are you? Na'er, where did you go?

After entering the soul train, Tang Wulin didn't waste any time and immediately began meditating. He didn't let his spirit soul's evolution get to his head; he clearly knew how weak his martial soul and innate soul power were as well as how his cultivation rate lagged behind Xie Xie and Gu Yue.

Soul power was the foundation of all Soul Masters and all he could do was work hard to compensate for what he lacked. His spirit soul had evolved and he would soon become a rank 20 Soul Grandmaster.

Tang Wulin was filled with confidence, now convinced that he would reach that level within the next year or two, depending on his luck. He would become a Soul Grandmaster by the time he turned twelve.

A rank 20 at twelve years old was the definition of genius.

Once they reached Eastsea City and the familiar skyline filled with skysc.r.a.pers entered his view, Tang Wulin though he gained an appreciation for the city. Every city was different and had their own unique character. It's a pity I didn't get a chance to properly sightsee inside Heaven Dou City. In the future, I definitely have to travel the continent and see all the famous sights! Maybe I'll even travel to the other continents. I wonder what kind of scenery I'll see in the other two continents?

“There are still three days left until school resumes. Use this free time for yourself and relax a little.” Even as his words lingered in the air, Wu Zhangkong was already walking away.

Tang Wulin didn't immediately return to the dormitory but instead went to the blacksmith's workshop.

He hadn't touched the forging hammer for a whole month and his skills were beginning to rust. I'll go visit Mu Chen first and accept two tasks to warm up my forging.

I still owe Teacher Wu over one million coins! I need to pay it back quickly and earn enough money for the other three items.

He had felt wealthy saving three million but after buying the thousand-year Dragonscale Fruit, he understood just how frighteningly expensive it would be to break through his second seal. He resigned himself to spending every free hour earning money.
