Shocked Parents

Su Xing's parents stared blankly at the destruction caused by the Railgun. Such terrifying destructive power was beyond anything they could have imagined!

Even a Soul Grandmaster probably could not cause this much damage!

"Father, Mother, why did you come down?"

Su Xing was startled awake as well, opening his eyes from cultivation.

It was easy to see that his eyes were filled with excitement and exhilaration.

How could he not be excited?

Although his parents had interrupted him, Su Xing had successfully developed Lightning Body Tempering.

At last, he had the foundation needed to become strong.

In theory, Lightning Body Tempering had no upper limit. Su Xing could use it endlessly to strengthen his body.

And the stronger his body became, the faster he could cultivate Soul Power.

Su Xing had detonated his Spirit Rings and would not attach any more in the future. His Soul Power would increase solely through the strengthening of his body.

According to Su Xing's research, the growth of Soul Power did not actually have much to do with a Spirit Master's rank.

It was simply that the Spirit Masters here had no effective methods for tempering the body. They relied on crude physical training, which had little effect.

Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill was an internal cultivation method. Internal energy was equivalent to Soul Power, so it was restricted as well.

That was why they needed to absorb Spirit Rings. When absorbing one, their bodies would also be strengthened and transformed, allowing them to continue cultivating.

Those with poor talent who could not advance in rank and hunt Spirit Rings naturally stagnated.

The higher one's rank, the harder it became, because body tempering methods became largely ineffective for high-level Spirit Masters.

"Xing, th-this... you didn't cause this, did you?"

With a face full of shock and uncertainty, Su Jinlong pointed at the hole and asked Su Xing.

"What are you saying? How could Xing have done this?"

Before Su Xing could answer, his mother, Lin Qianyue, spoke up to refute him.

"But if it wasn't Xing, is there anyone else here?" Su Jinlong asked in return.

"This..."

Lin Qianyue was instantly left speechless and could only turn to look at Su Xing.

"Father, Mother, I did cause this. I really developed Soul Power that can be used in battle. I can become a Combat Spirit Master now!"

Su Xing looked at his parents and spoke.

"Really?"

Su Jinlong was immediately delighted. He knew how intelligent Su Xing had been since childhood, and he had always known that Su Xing wanted to become a Combat Spirit Master.

It was just that the Su Clan's Coin Martial Soul was truly difficult to turn into a Combat Spirit Master. It had neither offensive nor supportive abilities and was only slightly better than a useless Martial Soul.

That was because the Su Clan could materialize the Coins they summoned and use them as genuine currency.

The Su Clan was a wealthy merchant family in the Heaven Dou Empire, so they understood the strength of Spirit Masters very well. If Su Xing could become a Combat Spirit Master, Su Jinlong would be more than happy to see it happen.

That was why he had indulged Su Xing's so-called research all these years.

Still, Su Jinlong had not held out much hope.

Yet Su Xing had actually succeeded?

"Really!"

Su Xing naturally understood Su Jinlong's excitement and nodded.

"Good, good! Quickly tell Father, how did you do it? What Spirit Skill did you create? Its power is actually this great!"

Su Jinlong became too excited to contain himself. His gaze at Su Xing was filled with pride. My son is incredible!

"Xing is amazing!"

Su Xing's mother was equally thrilled.

Because Su Xing disliked being disturbed, Su Jinlong and Lin Qianyue had not brought any servants inside.

Su Xing had nothing he could not tell his parents, who loved him dearly in this life. However, there were some things he could not explain, or that they would not understand even if he did, so he could only say that this was a Spirit Skill he had created himself.

Su Xing's parents did not want to know those details either. As long as they knew Su Xing could truly become a Combat Spirit Master, they were satisfied!

They had never considered whether they could learn Su Xing's self-created Spirit Skill themselves!

Thus, they had no interest in how the Railgun was formed. It was enough for them to know the power it possessed.

From that day onward, Su Xing's parents became even less likely to oppose whatever he wanted to do. They were only afraid they were not supporting him enough!

For the time being, however, Su Xing no longer needed to conduct any experiments.

All that remained was for him to develop his own use of Soul Power.

He also wanted to verify whether Spirit Bones would interfere with his control over his own Soul Power, though that was definitely impossible for now.

Spirit Bones were too precious. They were not something the Su Clan could obtain.

Very soon, another half year passed.

By now, after tempering his body with lightning every day, Su Xing's physical strength had become several times greater than before!

With a stronger body, his Soul Power cultivation naturally progressed faster. Su Xing's Soul Power Level had now reached level 27.

He had advanced a full eight levels in half a year. No one would dare believe it if they heard it.

Moreover, ordinary people could not know exactly what level their Soul Power had reached if they continued cultivating without breaking through the Spirit Master rank.

Because Su Xing had detonated his Spirit Rings and completely freed himself from their restrictions, he could accurately sense his own Soul Power Level.

Furthermore, Su Xing had not completely destroyed his Spirit Rings in a single detonation.

A few days after he detonated them, the Spirit Rings condensed again, and Su Xing directly detonated them once more.

Only after detonating them three times did the Spirit Rings on Su Xing finally disperse completely.

Naturally, his control over Soul Power became a little easier as well.

"In a few days, all the advanced Soul Master Academies will begin accepting students. Tang San and Xiao Wu will be entering Shrek Academy too!"

"Should I find a school as well?"

"Father is right. Even though a school has nothing it can teach me, what matters is the network of relationships."

"After Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang will be the one teaching them. I definitely won't go there. You ignored me back then; one day, I'll make you someone who can't afford to reach for me!"

Su Xing walked through the city, considering whether he should attend school and which academy he should enter.

In truth, as long as someone had become an adult, they would deeply miss the youth they had spent in school. Su Xing was no exception.

After Yu Xiaogang rejected him, he had not entered another junior academy because the students there were all little brats. Su Xing had no interest in playing with a bunch of children.

Advanced academies were different. Just looking at all those girls in the anime was enough to know that.

"Keep up."

"That little girl is definitely alone. Looks like we got lucky!"

While Su Xing was lost in thought, he suddenly heard voices from nearby.

Though they had lowered their voices, Su Xing still heard them.

He glanced from the corner of his eye and saw that the speaker was a scar-faced man who looked like no good person at all.

The man beside him looked honest enough, but since he was together with that man, he was obviously no good either.

"Who has been targeted?"

After the pair passed Su Xing, he could not help looking toward the distance ahead.

All he managed to see was a silhouette leaving through the city gates.

Vaguely, it looked as though a tail trailed behind her?

"That aura feels a little familiar. Could it be her?"
