Star Dou Great Forest.
Inside the Cave.
Abundant Life Energy gathered once more.
It formed strands of Soul Power Roots that plunged beneath the earth and rapidly spread outward.
With every breath Huang Fei took, an almost imperceptible azure halo around him followed the Soul Power Roots underground.
The Life Energy beneath the ground continuously rose, passed through Huang Fei's body, and returned underground.
This formed an Internal Circulation Ecosystem independent of the outside world.
This was the ingenious aspect of the Wood Breathing Technique.
It could keep the Spiritual Power absorbed from the outside contained within a certain range without allowing it to leak away.
After cultivating for merely Three Days and Nights of Meditation, Huang Fei's Soul Power had already risen from Level 11 to Level 12.
That was right. Three days and three nights had passed without him even realizing it.
Time truly passed quickly during cultivation.
The reason he had improved so quickly was mainly because his foundation was already excellent.
Now that he had the Meditation method to support him, coupled with the diligence and hard work carved into his bones, his progress naturally would not be slow.
During Deep Meditation, his body seemed to merge with heaven and earth, forgetting hunger and time.
He was like a tree, a flower, or a blade of grass in this natural world.
As long as he absorbed energy, he could fill his stomach.
That was one of its benefits.
But what if danger appeared outside while he was in Deep Meditation?
Naturally, that was not a problem.
As the Soul Power Roots around Huang Fei spread underground, they could provide extremely long-range perception, equivalent to a Long-Range Surveillance Radar.
As long as danger approached, they could awaken him.
If he could beat it, he would treat it as training.
If he could not beat it, he would run at the first opportunity. He would never force himself into a fight.
His life was more important.
Although his First Soul Skill could heal injuries, no one would be willing to get hurt unless absolutely necessary.
The body was precious.
If he could avoid injury, he should take good care of himself and not let himself get hurt.
Still, his luck was good. Over those three days and three nights, he did not encounter the slightest danger.
It was clear that the place he had found was exceptionally safe even within the perilous Star Dou Great Forest.
This might also have been one of the rewards brought by the Heavenly Dao Diligence System.
After all, he had not relaxed in his cultivation for even a moment during those three days and three nights.
As his Meditation deepened and his understanding of the Wood Breathing Technique increased,
he discovered that the Wood Breathing Technique was not merely a Soul Power Guidance Method.
It had three stages in total.
The first stage was the Root Stage. At this stage, Soul Power resembled roots, silently spreading underground or through darkness for extremely long-range perception, marking, and drawing in trace amounts of energy.
With every breath, an almost imperceptible azure halo around his body sank into the earth.
This was the stage he was currently at.
The second stage was the Trunk Stage. At this stage, Soul Power resembled a main trunk, connecting heaven and earth and coordinating the entire body.
When defending, it was like Giant Wood Supporting the Sky, difficult to shake.
When attacking, it could concentrate all power at a single point and unleash it.
With every breath, faint azure energy above his head resembled a canopy, while the pores across his body opened and closed as if conversing with the wind.
The third stage was the Flower Leaf Stage. At this stage, Soul Power resembled flourishing flowers and lush leaves, beginning to extend outward and evolve.
It could imitate the traits of plants, such as vine entanglement, hallucinogenic pollen, and sharp leaves, while also mildly nourishing others.
Huang Fei had not yet reached the latter two stages. Although he had learned the Wood Breathing Technique, he was merely a beginner in the First Stage, the Root Stage.
If he wanted to improve and unlock the second and third stages,
he would need to meditate diligently without end.
In short, as long as he worked hard at Meditation, the Heavenly Dao Diligence System would surely reward him.
The same was true for improving the progress of his Meditation method.
Moreover, each stage had its own core Supernatural Power.
Root Stage · Earth Pulse Listening: Connect Soul Power Roots to the earth's veins to sense life activity and geological changes across an enormous area.
Trunk Stage · Annual Ring Guard: Instantly form dense Wood Armor resembling annual rings over the body's surface. When attacked, it could channel part of the impact into the ground.
Flower Leaf Stage · One Thought Flower Blooms: Implant Soul Power seeds into an enemy's body, allowing them to sprout instantly and cause internal damage, or bloom into spiritual energy flowers that healed allies.
Though the descriptions were rather sparse, the effects would certainly be immense.
"Draw in the vitality of heaven and earth, exhale the evergreen cycle of rebirth. With a thought, grass and trees grow; with a breath, Mountains and Rivers settle."
Huang Fei slowly opened his eyes.
The abundant Life Energy in the surrounding world gathered in his right hand.
It formed a jade-green sphere of life energy.
His Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul emerged.
The Blue Silver Grass was now broader and thicker, jade green in color and patterned with silver, its aura refreshing and invigorating.
However, compared to other Martial Souls, it was still weak.
It needed to continue evolving without cease.
At the very least, it had to reach the level of the Blue Silver King first.
If only one Blue Silver Emperor could exist on a continent,
then multiple Blue Silver Kings could exist on that same continent.
To become an emperor, one had to first become a king. This was an unavoidable evolutionary path for Blue Silver Grass.
Tang San already possessed the purest Blue Silver Emperor bloodline flowing through his body, so he naturally did not need to become a king first, because he himself was the most legitimate successor to the emperor's lineage.
It was only because his bloodline had not awakened in the early stages that his Blue Silver Grass appeared so worthless.
Once it awakened in the later stage, his Blue Silver Grass evolved directly into the Blue Silver Emperor. Although it was still fragile compared to other top-tier Martial Souls, it had indeed entered the ranks of top-tier Martial Souls.
As for why it was so fragile?
It was definitely because that useless Yu Xiaogang had misled him, making him follow the Poison Control path and directly discard the life-based advantages of the Blue Silver Emperor.
If Tang San had taken the Extreme Life Flow path instead,
the Blue Silver Emperor would never have been as fragile as it was in the original story.
That was the price of choosing the wrong path.
Tang San could gamble because he had a Titled Douluo father supporting him from behind.
Although Yu Xiaogang's Soul Power was pathetic and his theories were nothing special, he was a romantic master. Being able to make Pope Bibi Dong so infatuated with him made him the first of his kind throughout history.
That guy had reached the level where he could brag about it.
With his connection to Bibi Dong, as long as Yu Xiaogang did not actively seek death, no one on the continent would dare touch him.
But Huang Fei had no such backing.
Although he had the Heavenly Dao Diligence System, it still required him to put in incomparably hard work before he received rewards. If he encountered a strong enemy, the system might not protect him.
Therefore, he had to find someone powerful to rely on.
And Shrek Academy in this era was the best backing possible.
With his achievement of absorbing a Thousand Year First Soul Ring, his innate Level 0.1 Soul Power, and his worthless Blue Silver Grass reaching Level 11 at the age of ten,
as well as revealing some of his other advantages,
he fully met the recruitment standards for monsters.
As long as Shrek Academy in this era was not brainless, it would not let him go. It would certainly recruit him to study there.
As long as he could enter Shrek Academy to study, he would gain his first protective talisman.
Logically speaking, he could have stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest and cultivated for his entire life.
With the Wood Breathing Technique to assist him, he would surely become a god one day.
But he was human. He could not endure prolonged loneliness and solitude.
Humans were social creatures.
Besides, having finally come to this world, he naturally wanted to experience the splendor of this era and compete against those geniuses and monsters.
He wanted everyone to witness the power of his worthless Blue Silver Grass.
And besides, he had coveted the Sea God Lake Matchmaking in Shrek Academy's Inner Court for a long time.
When he had read about it in his Past Life, he had wanted to go there and show off too.
He had not had the chance in his Past Life, so be it.
But in this life, he could not just let it go.
