Blood Bag, Million-fold Subsidy

On the other side, Phoenix Wang Chuan and Abyss Wang Chuan both revealed expressions of pleasant surprise on their faces.

Clearly, they had also gained immense benefits from the sharing.

A sharp light flickered in the eyes of Phoenix Wang Chuan.

"Abyssal energy..."

"This is fantastic!"

"This is practically an accelerator!"

"Combined with my Auspicious Beast talent, devouring the soul beast essence and heaven and earth origin energy within the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, the time it takes for me to reach ten-thousand-year cultivation can be shortened by at least half!"

Mutual devouring among soul beasts was inherently one of the fastest ways to increase cultivation.

And abyssal energy elevated this devouring efficiency to the extreme, no longer limited to flesh-and-blood life.

He could devour anything containing life energy to increase his own cultivation!

Abyss Wang Chuan let out a long sigh of relief, a smile of liberation appearing on his face.

"Having shared your cultivation and talents, my current strength is roughly equivalent to the Six-Ring Soul Emperor level of your world."

"Furthermore, Five Elements Manipulation, energy perception, and even a trace of the ability to foresee fortune and misfortune..."

"Hahaha! I finally have the confidence to contend for the position of 'Monarch' of this 108th Abyss Layer!"

In this Abyss where the strong prey on the weak and superiors could devour subordinates at any moment, he had always lived in trepidation. Now that his strength had surged and he had gained various powerful abilities, he finally had the capital to secure his footing and climb higher.

He looked at Douluo Wang Chuan and Phoenix Wang Chuan, sighing with emotion:

"Honestly, I was always on edge before."

"You both know that according to the 'plot,' the entire Abyss Plane is essentially a super blood bag and promotion gift package prepared by Tang San for the Douluo Continent."

"Even if I were lucky enough to replace the Abyssal Sage Monarch, so what?"

"In the end, wouldn't I just be dragged along as the entire plane is devoured by the Douluo Continent, becoming a stepping stone for someone else's level-up?"

"That feeling of having one's fate controlled, destined to become a sacrificial offering, is terrible."

"But it's different now. With you two, the three of us are one. With information, resources, and abilities shared, there are infinite possibilities for the future!"

"I have finally seen the hope of breaking free from that predetermined fate!"

Douluo Wang Chuan could empathize with the weight and relief in his words, nodding solemnly:

"That's right, we are all on the same side."

"We prosper together and suffer together."

"We will help each other and shatter this so-called 'script' together!"

"Helping each other!"

Phoenix Wang Chuan and Abyss Wang Chuan spoke in unison.

Consciousness returned to his body.

Wang Chuan slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging power within his body and the newly acquired abyssal devouring ability, his heart filled with the joy of his gains.

Level 40 soul power, Spirit Sea Realm mental power, plus abyssal energy...

His strength had already undergone a heaven-shaking transformation.

But amidst the joy, a realistic problem emerged... his second soul spirit was still not settled.

The Rainbow Dragon soul spirit was currently at the five-thousand-year level and could only provide three soul rings.

Unless he raised it to ten thousand years, it would not be able to provide an additional fourth soul ring.

And speaking of rapidly increasing soul spirit age...

A glimmer of thought flashed in Wang Chuan's eyes.

It seemed that after reporting to East Sea Academy and settling down, it would be necessary to visit the "Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform" a few times.

That was an excellent place for rapidly increasing soul spirit age and honing practical combat skills.

However, how to explain his suddenly surging cultivation to Leng Yaozhu was a problem that would require some careful thought.

But fortunately, he had never disclosed his precise soul power level at each stage to Leng Yaozhu in detail.

Therefore, Leng Yaozhu only knew that he was exceptionally gifted and progressing rapidly, currently a Three-Ring Soul Venerable.

A nine-year-old Three-Ring was certainly astonishing.

But it was still within the understandable range of a "peerless genius."

If she were to find out that her disciple had suddenly become a nine-year-old Four-Ring Soul Ancestor...

The shock caused would likely be too great, and it might even attract unnecessary attention and danger.

Wang Chuan knew very well that once his talent and growth speed, which transcended common sense, were fully exposed, it would not just bring envy and attempts at recruitment.

For an organization like the Holy Spirit Cult, their covetousness for "high-quality materials" and "special abilities" knows no bounds.

Even if the upper echelons of the Spirit Pagoda have some form of cooperation with them, for an Evil Soul Master, so-called cooperation can be torn to shreds in the face of immense profit.

A peerless genius with a terrifying growth rate is likely more tempting to them than any cooperation agreement.

It seems that before I possess sufficient self-preservation capabilities or find a reliable backer, I still need to appropriately hide my light.

Wang Chuan gazed at the bright moon outside the window, calculating in his heart.

East Sea Academy might just be a decent "buffer" zone.

There, he could continue to grow in relative low-profile, while closely monitoring the movements of Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, preparing himself for a broader and more dangerous stage in the future.

East Sea City.

The second-largest coastal city in the Sun Moon Federation.

It is an important port hub, a center for maritime transport, and a key town for the development of marine resources.

Relying on its unique geographical location and the effective utilization of endless ocean resources, this city has accumulated astonishing wealth, with a permanent population exceeding three million, ranking it at the forefront of second-tier cities throughout the entire Sun Moon Federation.

When Wang Chuan and Tang Wulin followed the crowd out of the spacious and bright Soul Guidance Train station, they were immediately greeted by the unique hustle and bustle of this coastal metropolis.

"Brother Xiaochuan, there are so many people here!"

"The buildings are so tall, too!"

Tang Wulin widened his eyes, looking around curiously, marveling at the prosperity of East Sea City.

With Wang Chuan accompanying him the whole way, even though his parents couldn't be with him for this long journey, the sorrow of leaving home was diluted by novelty and anticipation.

Wang Chuan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the bustling scene before him, though a trace of imperceptible melancholy flashed through his eyes.

Just a few days before their departure, Na'er had ultimately recovered the memories belonging to the Silver Dragon King.

That night, she left behind a short letter in a childish hand and quietly departed.

The letter contained only a few words, thanking her brother and parents for their care, saying she was going to find what she had lost and asking her brother not to worry.

But in truth, Wang Chuan had watched Na'er leave.

That girl probably thought he was still asleep.

Before leaving, Na'er had also looked back toward the Wang family home once before slipping away into the night.

He had simply watched as she was picked up by several powerful and obscure auras that had been waiting in the distance.

One of those auras, deep as an abyss and carrying a pure, ancient dragon might, was none other than the Beast God Di Tian.

Wang Chuan had been hiding in the shadows at the time, doing his utmost to restrain his aura.

It wasn't that he didn't want to show himself to see Na'er off.

But the presence of Di Tian made him abandon that thought.

With his current cultivation, it was nearly impossible to mask his presence before a king of fierce beasts with a cultivation approaching a million years and unfathomable spiritual power.

Once his true cultivation was detected by Di Tian, given the latter's deep-seated wariness and hatred for humans...

The consequences would be impossible to predict.

Di Tian might hold back temporarily because of Na'er's situation.

But he would certainly observe him from the shadows, or even seek an opportunity to eliminate him—a human "threat" who could influence the Silver Dragon King and possessed terrifying talent.

Wang Chuan knew clearly that he was not the "Child of Destiny" of this era.

He did not have that mysterious favor and protection of fate.

Any powerful variable that exceeded the original trajectory could invite unpredictable "accidents" and backlash.

Therefore, he had to be even more cautious.
