Breakthrough

"That thing is worth 1,000 Points?" Li Ang looked suspiciously at the black pill in his hand.

He had seen his share of the world. Back at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he had seen plenty of Heaven and Earth Treasures over the years, and had even used up quite a few of them.

Those Heaven and Earth Treasures had looked far better than this pitch-black pill.

Yet Li Ang's system was anything but intelligent. Faced with his question, it showed no intention of explaining anything.

Left with no other choice, Li Ang could only trust the system.

He had already bought it, and there was no way the system would give him a refund.

So, in the next moment, Li Ang stuffed the black pill into his mouth, chewed twice, and swallowed it.

Although it looked pitch-black, the Eighty-One Flavored Rehmannia Pill did not taste bad at all. It was sweet and sour, almost like... a Hawthorn Pill.

Li Ang's expression turned strange. Why did the Eighty-One Flavored Rehmannia Pill, a top-grade Elixir worth 1,000 Points, taste like this?

Fortunately, while the Eighty-One Flavored Rehmannia Pill had a rather peculiar flavor, its effects were not a problem.

As Li Ang swallowed the entire pill, visible changes began to appear across his body.

His once shriveled muscles rapidly swelled, making him sturdier and stronger. His aged, decrepit body swiftly regained its vitality as well.

In the blink of an eye, the white-haired old man on the verge of death was gone. In his place stood a handsome young man nearly two meters tall, with a fit physique.

Old Li had been quite the handsome young fellow back in the day, famous throughout the neighboring villages. Unfortunately, time was a butcher's knife, and beneath its blade, the once-dashing youth had become a decrepit old man.

But that was no big deal. Old Li was young again now.

Feeling the vitality filling his body and the seemingly inexhaustible energy within him, Li Ang was more excited than he had ever been.

Unable to hold himself back, he let out a long roar. White, yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, black, black—nine Soul Rings in total appeared beneath Li Ang's feet.

At the same time, the phantom of a massive, ferocious beast, solid enough to seem alive, appeared behind him.

It was a savage giant beast covered in black scales. From its appearance, one could vaguely tell that it was some kind of wolf-type Soul Beast.

After all, the beast still retained some of a wolf's physical characteristics.

However, whether in size or presence, this giant beast was far more terrifying and ferocious than an ordinary wolf-type Soul Beast.

As his martial soul and Soul Rings were released, Li Ang's Aura continued to rise until it reached its former peak.

But that was no longer Li Ang's limit. In only a few moments, his cultivation broke through the bottleneck at level ninety-one and rose two levels in succession. After reaching level ninety-three, Li Ang's Aura finally stabilized.

Ever since reaching the rank of Titled Douluo, Li Ang's Soul Power had remained stuck at level ninety-one. No matter how he cultivated afterward, he could not break past that limit. Even Heaven and Earth Treasures such as Immortal Herbs could no longer raise his strength.

There were two main reasons for this. First, Li Ang's martial soul, the Black Beast, was simply too weak.

However, while the Black Beast martial soul had been lacking from birth, the Immortal Herbs Li Ang had consumed over the years had not gone to waste.

By now, Li Ang's martial soul was no longer an ordinary Black Beast martial soul.

Compared with top-tier martial souls like the Haotian Hammer and Angel, Li Ang's Black Beast martial soul might still have fallen short.

But the Black Beast martial soul he possessed now could still be considered one of the finest Beast Soul Spirits in Douluo Dalu.

So, the restrictions of his martial soul were not the main reason. The biggest reason Li Ang had been unable to break through the Soul Power bottleneck was his age.

Li Ang had already been eighty years old when he became a Titled Douluo. Even for a Soul Master, eighty was no longer young.

At that age, even a Titled Douluo's bodily functions would steadily decline with advancing years. Being able to preserve his original condition and combat strength was already quite good.

Trying to continue increasing his Soul Power was an exceedingly difficult task in itself.

That was why, after Li Ang's body regained its youth, his Soul Power rose by two levels as well.

Of course, compared with the increase in Soul Power, Li Ang cared more about his current young and vibrant body.

So, Li Ang quickly withdrew his martial soul and Soul Rings. Then, with a wave of his hand, a mirror appeared in his grasp.

"Not bad, not bad. Being young feels damn good!" While admiring his peerless looks, Li Ang opened his system once more.

He first opened the Personal Attributes tab to check his data after regaining his youth.

Name: Li Ang

Martial Soul: Black Beast

Soul Power: 93 (91+2)

Physique: 85 (73+12)

Charm: 17 (9+8)

Rank: Nine-Ring Titled Douluo

Skill: Keyboard Arise (Riding the keyboard upon the wind, I banish demons between heaven and earth)

Plot Alteration Progress: 1.1%

Wealth: 100

Judging from the data, Li Ang's gains this time were enormous. In particular, after regaining his youth, both his Physique and Charm had increased dramatically.

Besides that, when he had altered the plot earlier, Li Ang had also obtained a skill.

Although the skill called Keyboard Arise sounded a little improper, it was actually quite useful.

Li Ang had seen it in the System Shop before. It cost 450 Points, and he definitely could not afford it right now.

As for the skill's effect, it was actually quite simple. Once activated, it could summon a keyboard to attack enemies.

Its upper limit depended on how much Soul Power the user poured into it. In theory, it was an attack skill with no upper limit—the more Soul Power supplied, the stronger its attack would become.

Using Li Ang himself as an example, if he poured all his Soul Power into this skill at once, it could produce an attack equivalent to a Limit Douluo's full-force strike.

Of course, after unleashing such an attack, Li Ang would basically lose all combat ability.

Overall, it was a highly versatile attack skill. It could be used for basic attacks to crush weak opponents, or as an ultimate move.
