Thousand-Year Soul Spirit

Li Ang was unaware of Uncle Zhang's shock.

He could feel the pain just as well, but under the control of his calm brain, it remained within his threshold of endurance.

Or rather, even if he couldn't bear it, or even if he were to lose consciousness, he would not scream like an ordinary person.

Because he lacked such intense reactions; or perhaps, he simply didn't care much about this kind of pain.

The morning classes passed quickly, and today they actually covered some useful theory.

This included some techniques for utilizing martial souls, as well as the differences between tool martial souls and beast martial souls.

Li Ang learned these things very quickly.

When he returned at noon, he grabbed a quick bite to eat and headed straight for the Spirit Ascension Platform.

For Little Black, reaching three hundred years was not difficult.

In the time it took Li Ang to read for half an hour inside the Spirit Ascension Platform, Little Black had already elevated itself to a thousand-year spirit.

Feeling the changes within his body, Li Ang returned to the real world calmly.

He sat cross-legged, and Little Black appeared before him once more, though this time, a look of gravity flickered in the little dog's eyes.

As Li Ang slowly opened his eyes, the little dog, which had originally been only half a meter long, suddenly surged to over two meters in height.

Sensing the aura of a thousand-year spirit beast radiating from it, Li Ang closed his eyes slightly. The Douluo Planet martial soul within his body began to circulate slowly as he selected traits suitable for Little Black.

Currently, Little Black possessed the terrifying Bloodline Power of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, granting it immense combat strength, as well as the Devouring Power of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, allowing it to grow by hunting spirit beasts.

Beyond these two abilities, Little Black lacked many things, such as strong defensive capabilities, powerful offensive skills, or perhaps superior endurance and even more terrifying digestive capacity.

These were areas where Little Black was deficient, and Li Ang's choice this time was simple: recovery and endurance.

As long as it couldn't be killed, it could keep on fighting.

Although Little Black could be resurrected a few days after death, Li Ang felt it was unnecessary.

Therefore, he chose the recovery ability of the Emerald Swan, along with its formidable life force.

This ability was perfect for Little Black at this stage and aligned with its evolving characteristics.

With the Emerald Swan's recovery ability, it could heal itself entirely on its own.

While it might be slightly lacking in other areas, the difficulty of advancing to a ten-thousand-year spirit beast would definitely decrease significantly.

Furthermore, with powerful Bloodline Power and strong recovery, even when facing some terrifying thousand-year spirit beasts, it could pin them down until they were exhausted to death.

This left Li Ang very satisfied.

Of course, the best part was that Little Black could serve as his shield.

After all, as a thousand-year spirit beast with terrifying recovery, Little Black was undoubtedly a top-tier recovery-type tank.

Even if he encountered a powerhouse, he could simply throw Little Black to the front as a shield to buy himself time to escape.

Feeling the changes in its own power, especially after its size reached two and a half meters, Little Black could clearly sense its own improvement.

Fierce light flickered in its eyes before quickly returning to normal, and it reverted to the appearance of a regular puppy, lying down at Li Ang's feet.

Li Ang's eyes opened slowly, a rare trace of irritation in his gaze.

He could clearly feel the restrictions of Douluo Planet; that wretched Tang Hao had shackled the planet far too tightly.

As the plane master, although he was currently in a deep slumber, if Li Ang dared to control the entire Douluo Planet and utilize the true core power of Douluo Planet, Tang Hao would definitely wake up instantly and kill him on the spot.

This was the most helpless part of Li Ang's current situation; his strength could grow, but it had to be done quietly.

Because the moment he met Tang Hao and was discovered, the man would kill him without a doubt.

One mountain cannot hold two tigers, and Douluo Planet was the foundation of the Douluo God Realm.

His appearance as the new planet master meant his ability to control the entire Douluo Planet would definitely be stronger than Tang Hao's.

Once he grew strong enough to master the entire Douluo Planet, even Tang San might not be able to return.

Whether for the sake of his son or for this private territory of the Tang family, Tang Hao would undoubtedly strike to kill without hesitation.

Thinking of this, Li Ang's expression became somewhat grave, though his demeanor remained largely unchanged; he could only take things one step at a time.

As the saying goes, one doesn't fear more lice when already infested; by mastering Douluo Planet, he could also sense the erosion of the Abyssal Plane.

The erosion from the Abyssal Plane was quite strong, and Li Ang could feel it constantly plundering the life force belonging to Douluo Planet.

But if he could grow up early and formally become the plane master, he would be able to contend with the power of the Abyssal Plane.

In the future, not only would he have the chance to prove his own godhood, but he could also ensure that Douluo Planet would ascend to a higher level.

Moreover, he still had the trump card of the Geo Archon Rex Lapis template.

As long as this planet was transformed by the power of the Geo Archon Rex Lapis and became a true Geo Traveler Star, he would have absolute control over it.

Lost in thought, Li Ang stood up, walked out the door, and headed to the cafeteria to continue eating.

In this situation of both pros and cons, staying steady and walking forward step by step was exactly what Li Ang needed to do.

Just as he was pondering how to continue asking Shen Ming for more resources, Ming Yue walked over and called him aside.

Looking at Ming Yue's anxious expression, Li Ang was somewhat bewildered.

One had to know that Shen Ming was the Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda in Eastsea City; even if he were the one calling for her, Ming Yue shouldn't be this anxious.

"Sister Ming Yue, may I ask what is going on?"

"Why is Pagoda Master Shen in such a rush to have me come over? And why are you so flustered as well?"

Li Ang stared straight at Ming Yue, his questions direct.

He paid no mind to her nervous expression; if she didn't answer him, he wouldn't go over so easily, because who knew what kind of situation this really was.

Looking at Li Ang's calm, water-like expression, a rare trace of helplessness appeared on Ming Yue's face.

"A big shot has arrived. They came to the Spirit Pagoda originally for an inspection, but after hearing about your situation, they want to meet you."

"A big shot?"

Li Ang repeated the words, his eyes flickering.

For the Eastsea City Spirit Pagoda, a so-called big shot had to be someone from the upper echelons of the Spirit Pagoda.

And the only high-ranking official who could possibly come to the Eastsea City Spirit Pagoda was that person—the level 98 Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, the Vice Pagoda Master.

Yet, as he thought about it, Li Ang's expression turned somewhat strange, because according to the normal timeline, she shouldn't have arrived at the Eastsea City Spirit Pagoda for another three years.

That was when she would take Gu Yue as her disciple, but coming now—wasn't it a bit too early?
