Heavenly Start

Because he had cultivated a spiritual technique, Jiang He successfully absorbed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew in just one night.

When he opened his eyes again, a faint gleam flashed through them.

The tremendous surge in Spiritual Power made his pupils contract repeatedly as he continuously adjusted his focus. It took a full quarter of an hour before he completely adapted.

Feeling the "clarity" of the world before him, Jiang He could not help sighing. "Two and a half years of training really can't compare to cheating."

After more than two years of cultivation, Jiang He's Spiritual Power had already surpassed that of ordinary Soul Masters. Even by the system's estimate, it was no weaker than an ordinary Soul Grandmaster's.

He had thought his cultivation speed was already fast enough, but only after consuming this Immortal Herb did Jiang He understand what it meant to advance by leaps and bounds in a single day.

According to the system's assessment, Jiang He's current Spiritual Power was no weaker than that of an ordinary Soul King!

He had not even awakened his Martial Soul yet!

Furthermore, the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew had enhanced his eyes. He could clearly see things hundreds of meters away!

Judging from the original novel's depiction, Jiang He estimated that he could now see through the true forms of juvenile transformed Soul Beasts like Xiao Wu.

This had nothing to do with Spiritual Power. His eyes had simply evolved!

Pushing those thoughts aside, Jiang He looked at the other three Immortal Herbs in the box beside him.

Without hesitation, he took out the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and consumed it according to the method from the original novel.

The instant the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum entered his body, an immense force swept through every part of Jiang He's limbs and bones.

Prepared in advance, Jiang He frantically circulated the Tyrant Emperor World-Devouring Art within his body, absorbing and refining that force.

To the current Jiang He, the power contained within the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum seemed inexhaustible.

No matter how frantically he circulated his cultivation technique, it showed no sign of diminishing.

Other than the small portion Jiang He refined into Soul Power, more of that energy chose to nourish his body.

Jiang He's body was like an enormous sponge, while the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum's power was like seawater. It greatly nourished his body, which rapidly expanded.

His height of 1.6 meters, which had once towered over those of his age, increased as well.

Cracking sounds rang out without end.

Within only a few breaths, Jiang He shot up by more than ten centimeters.

At the same time, the muscles all over his body trembled violently before bulging high.

After a single night, most of the childishness on Jiang He's face had already vanished.

Without looking closely, outsiders would have found him no different from an ordinary adult!

As Jiang He opened his eyes and mouth, he expelled a breath of stale air.

He merely rose and moved his body slightly, yet cracking sounds immediately echoed from within him.

Rather than continuing to absorb Immortal Herbs, Jiang He went to the front yard and lightly exercised with the various tools he had made himself.

The various implements once used for weight training now felt like toys in Jiang He's hands, easily handled at will.

After getting used to his explosively increased strength, Jiang He said to the system in his mind, "Open the panel."

The moment he spoke, a light screen appeared before Jiang He.

[Host: Jiang He]

[Age: Five years and six months]

[Soul Power: Level 15!]

[Cultivation Techniques: <Tyrant Emperor World-Devouring Art (Jiang He Custom Version 2.0)><Ancient Bear Visualization Method (Jiang He Custom Version 1.0)>Endless Life Technique]

[Martial Soul not awakened]

Although most of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum's power had been absorbed by Jiang He's body, with only a small portion converted into Soul Power—

Jiang He's Soul Power Level had simply been far too low.

Even that tiny portion of energy had raised Jiang He's Soul Power Level by five levels!

Seeing this, Jiang He continued speaking to the system. "Begin Martial Soul deduction."

[Martial Soul deduction in progress...]

[ Ding! According to the system's detection and deduction, the host's bloodline is currently dominated by a Bear-type Martial Soul. There is a 2% chance of awakening the inherited Martial Soul of the host's father, the Giant Bear. A 5% chance of awakening the Advanced Martial Soul, Vajra Bear. A 34% chance of awakening the Top-tier Martial Soul, Blood Demon Berserk Bear. A 59% chance of awakening the Super Martial Soul, Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!]

Looking at the system's deduction, Jiang He beamed with joy.

Risking his life to steal the Immortal Herbs had not been in vain. They really worked!

A single Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum had directly raised Jiang He's chance of awakening the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear from 0.6% to 59%!

If he consumed the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone as well, then this would practically be guaranteed!

With that thought, Jiang He returned to the room once more, took out the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, and consumed it according to the prescribed method.

Once again, vast power entered his body.

With his previous experience of absorbing the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Jiang He steadily circulated the Tyrant Emperor World-Devouring Art, absorbing and refining the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone's power.

However, compared with the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, refining the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone was clearly much more troublesome.

Jiang He had only refined a small part of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum's power in the first place.

Most of it had been used to nourish his body.

The portion that nourished his body had not been fully consumed. Instead, it lay hidden throughout every part of Jiang He's body.

As he continued cultivating, it would gradually further strengthen his body.

But as the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone's power entered him, all that hidden power was drawn out.

The two Immortal Herbs had originally complemented one another, and now that he had taken them together, their medicinal effects became even stronger!

Jiang He's face was as red as boiled shrimp, an alarming sight.

Steam continuously rose from his body in all directions.

Before long, the entire room became shrouded in mist.

Jiang He's figure flickered in and out of view amid the haze.

Each time he appeared, his physique had grown a little larger.

After an unknown amount of time, the mist slowly dispersed, revealing Jiang He's calm face.

The instant he opened his eyes, the air throughout the room seemed to grow heavy.

Jiang He lowered his head to look at his palm, then slowly rose to his feet.

This time, there were no strange sounds at all.

His body seemed to have been tempered completely to its utmost limit, flawless and perfect!

With the support of the two Immortal Herbs, Jiang He's height had surged to 1.9 meters.

His terrifying muscles burst through his already small clothes, exposing patches of skin.

Jiang He looked at the torn scraps of clothing on his body and simply ripped them off, revealing his exceptionally lean and powerful physique.

Standing before the mirror and examining himself, Jiang He revealed a satisfied smile.

He could feel the immense power within his body.

It was not merely Soul Power, but also the terrifying explosive strength brought by the muscles throughout his body!

Moreover, the two Immortal Herbs had directly opened Jiang He's Eight Extraordinary Meridians. Whenever the Tyrant Emperor World-Devouring Art circulated, Soul Power and vital energy would travel through his Eight Extraordinary Meridians once, making him feel stronger than ever before!

And his current Soul Power Level was... level 20!

It had to be said that throughout the entire Douluo Continent, aside from the Divine Martial Soul inherited by Qian Renxue, no one had ever possessed Innate Soul Power at level 20!

This meant that once Jiang He completed his Martial Soul awakening, his cultivation speed would immediately soar, granting him the cultivation speed only a Divine Martial Soul could possess!

More importantly, the system's Martial Soul deduction for Jiang He was...

[99% chance of awakening the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear! 1% chance of awakening the Dark Gold Bear!]

Unless Jiang He's luck was catastrophically terrible and he awakened the inferior Martial Soul of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, then half a year later, he would possess a Super Martial Soul along with god-tier cultivation speed!

And there was still the medicinal power of the Immortal Herbs that had yet to be completely absorbed!

A heavenly start!
