"Tower Master, these are the physical assessment records for your disciple. Please take a look."
Inside the office belonging to Spirit Pagoda Headquarters' Vice Tower Master, Leng Yaozhu, Yan Qingling held a white Soul Guidance Tablet as she spoke to Leng Yaozhu, who was handling official business.
"Oh? The testing was completed so quickly?"
Leng Yaozhu immediately looked up at Yan Qingling. A trace of curiosity flashed through her eyes. Although she had accepted Mu Tianchen as her disciple, she had never personally examined his physical assessment data.
"Let me see."
"Alright."
Upon hearing that, Yan Qingling handed the Soul Guidance Tablet in her hand to Leng Yaozhu.
Leng Yaozhu accepted the Soul Guidance Tablet and began reviewing it.
"Name: Mu Tianchen." "Gender: Male." "Age: Six years and four days." "Martial Soul: Holy Dragon of Light." "Soul Power: Level 20." "Strength: Left hand, 430 kilograms. Right hand, 523 kilograms." "Physique: Impact resistance, 1,000 kilograms. 100-meter sprint, ten seconds. Reaction speed, twenty meters per second..." "Mental Power: 51 points (Spirit Connection Realm)"
"What?! Spirit Connection Realm mental power?" Leng Yaozhu froze as she looked at Mu Tianchen's physical assessment data. She then turned to Yan Qingling, wanting to ask whether the data was genuine.
Her disciple was only six years old, wasn't he? Generally speaking, six-year-old children did not undergo any cultivation. Their Soul Power and mental power were both innate.
Yet setting aside how absurd his strength and physique test results were, even his mental power was this astonishing.
Looking at Leng Yaozhu, Yan Qingling recalled that she had been just as shocked when Mu Tianchen had undergone the test.
She nodded and said, "Tower Master, I conducted the mental power test several times. Every test showed fifty-one points."
On the Douluo Continent, every person was born with mental power at the Spirit Origin Realm, known as the beginning of all things. Spirit Origin Realm mental power ranged from one to fifty points.
Above the Spirit Origin Realm was the Spirit Connection Realm. At the Spirit Connection Realm, control over mental power began to take shape. Mental power started to truly affect a person and could even be used for mental attacks.
Spirit Connection Realm mental power ranged from fifty-one to five hundred points. The assessment data showed that Mu Tianchen's mental power had already reached fifty-one points. In other words, her disciple's mental power had met the standard for the Spirit Connection Realm.
Leng Yaozhu's expression was somewhat dazed as she stared at the Soul Guidance Tablet and muttered, "Innate Level 20 Soul Power, innate Spirit Connection Realm mental power, a top-tier dragon-type martial soul, the Holy Dragon of Light, innate divine strength..."
At that moment, even Leng Yaozhu found it unbelievable. Her disciple's talent seemed exceptionally extraordinary. At the same age, even Shrek Academy's current number one expert in the world had probably not been this powerful.
Could her disciple possibly stand shoulder to shoulder with the Sky-Piercing Douluo, Yun Ming, in the future?
Her expression immediately turned extremely solemn as she said to Yan Qingling, "Qingling, have you shown Tianchen's physical assessment data to anyone else?"
Yan Qingling immediately shook her head. "Not yet. Tower Master, you are the first person to see it. Also, I have already deleted all of Little Tianchen's physical assessment data from the laboratory."
Leng Yaozhu let out a breath of relief. "Qingling, you did very well. Although our Spirit Pagoda has always upheld the principle of serving Soul Masters across the world, after ten thousand years, some people within the Spirit Pagoda have already betrayed that original intention."
"For example, within the Spirit Pagoda now, an ambitious schemer has begun to reveal his claws. Tianchen's appearance may become the key to breaking all of this. No matter what, we must protect him."
Yan Qingling nodded, then asked, "Tower Master, Little Tianchen's physique and mental power can already support two yellow hundred-year Soul Spirits, or one lowest-grade thousand-year Soul Spirit."
"What kind of Soul Spirit do you intend to choose for Little Tianchen?"
However, Leng Yaozhu did not answer immediately. Instead, she asked, "Qingling, what was your first Soul Spirit?"
Yan Qingling froze. She had not expected the Tower Master to ask her that, but she quickly reacted and replied, "Tower Master, my first Soul Spirit was a hundred-year Holy Unicorn."
Leng Yaozhu nodded. "Your martial soul is the Bright Phoenix, a super martial soul possessing Ultimate Light, while the Holy Unicorn is a top-tier Light Attribute Soul Spirit."
"After the Holy Unicorn became your Soul Spirit, it greatly strengthened the Light Attribute of your Bright Phoenix. Originally, I had also planned to choose a Holy Unicorn Soul Spirit for Tianchen, but..."
"Tower Master, but what?" Yan Qingling asked in confusion.
Leng Yaozhu took a deep breath. "But yesterday, our research institute succeeded in its research on powerful Soul Spirits that had already gone extinct. It cannot be called a complete success, but part of it succeeded."
"This research successfully produced three Soul Spirits with extremely powerful potential and aptitude, Soul Spirits that had been extinct from the history of the Douluo Continent for hundreds of thousands of years. These three Soul Spirits should be very suitable for my disciple."
"Because of technological limitations, the ages of these Soul Spirits are not high. At most, they are only hundred-year Soul Spirits and cannot even reach the thousand-year level."
"However, our Spirit Pagoda possesses the Spirit Ascension Pagoda, a Spirit Ascension machine that can raise the age of Soul Spirits through Spirit Ascension."
"Therefore, the initial age of the Soul Spirits is no longer that important."
Yan Qingling immediately cried out, "That research succeeded?"
As a reserve high-ranking member of the Spirit Pagoda, she naturally knew what research this was.
Throughout the history of the Douluo Continent, many exceptionally powerful soul beasts had appeared. Some could even rival giant dragons. The most famous among them was the Golden Behemoth, a powerful existence capable of tearing giant dragons apart with its bare hands.
However, for all sorts of reasons, these powerful soul beasts had already vanished into the river of history.
The Spirit Pagoda's purpose in studying these soul beasts was to allow them to descend upon this continent once more through the form of Soul Spirits.
Yet because the technical difficulty of this research was too great and too many genes were missing, the project had never made much progress.
But Yan Qingling had never expected the Tower Master to tell her today that this project had actually made progress.
Leng Yaozhu nodded, delight visible on her face as well.
On the thirteenth floor of the Spirit Pagoda, inside a luxurious room, Mu Tianchen sat cross-legged on his bed.
This room had been assigned to him as Leng Yaozhu's disciple. Leng Yaozhu was the Vice Tower Master of Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, and as her sole direct disciple, Mu Tianchen held no low status within the Spirit Pagoda.
Outside, Mu Tianchen's status was equivalent to that of the president of a Spirit Pagoda in a mid-sized city, such as the president of the East Sea City Spirit Pagoda.
At that moment, Mu Tianchen was cultivating. He cultivated the Spirit Pagoda's highest-level cultivation method, the Vortex Meditation Method.
It was a cultivation method created by the Spirit Pagoda's founder, the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, based on the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Skill and his own cultivation experience.
Compared to the comprehensive Mysterious Heaven Skill, which covered an extremely broad range of cultivation, the Vortex Meditation Method had a much narrower scope. It could only cultivate one's Soul Power.
However, that did not mean the Vortex Meditation Method was weak. When it came to cultivating Soul Power, the Vortex Meditation Method was even somewhat stronger than the Mysterious Heaven Skill. It was an ultimate cultivation method that countless people wished to cultivate.
The primary method of cultivating the Vortex Meditation Method was to create a vortex within the body, accelerating the circulation of one's Soul Power and greatly increasing the body's absorption and conversion of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Then, the vortex compressed one's Soul Power, making it denser and more powerful.
Legend had it that once the Vortex Meditation Method was cultivated to mastery, one could condense the Yin-Yang Complementary Triple Soul Core within the body, greatly strengthening one's physique, mental power, and Soul Power, reaching a terrifying realm of Unity of Heaven and Man.
Unfortunately, even the Spirit Pagoda's Tower Master, the Qiangu Douluo Qiangu Dongfeng, had failed to cultivate the Vortex Meditation Method to mastery and condense the Yin-Yang Complementary Triple Soul Core.
Recalling the descriptions of the Vortex Meditation Method, Mu Tianchen sighed. "Legend says that the Vortex Meditation Method, the Body Sect Innate Secret Method, and the Tang Sect's Purple Demon Eye are the three greatest methods for cultivating the human body."
"The Body Sect Innate Secret Method focuses on the physique. Once cultivated to its ultimate realm, it can transform one into a Golden Body Arhat, granting a godlike physique that even Limit Douluo would find difficult to contend with."
"The Tang Sect's Purple Demon Eye is known by the outside world as the strongest method for cultivating mental power. The Purple Demon Eye is divided into four realms: Overview, Subtlety, Jiezi, and Vastness. Once one enters the Vastness realm, mental power reaches the limits of humanity and can perceive heaven and earth."
"The Spirit Pagoda's Vortex Meditation Method is the supreme method for cultivating Soul Power. The Yin-Yang Complementary Triple Soul Core is the ultimate state of Soul Power in this world. According to the Spirit Pagoda's records, Huo Yuhao possessed god-level Soul Power precisely because of the Vortex Meditation Method."
Mu Tianchen was a transmigrator, so he naturally knew that god-level Soul Power was not impossible to attain. In the original story, both the Demon Empress and Emperor Lie of the Abyss Plane possessed god-level Soul Power.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Mu Tianchen began comprehending the cultivation route of the Vortex Meditation Method. Only through constant comprehension and familiarization could he enter the initial realm of the Vortex Meditation Method.
However, it had to be said that the Vortex Meditation Method was indeed extremely difficult to cultivate. Its various Soul Power circulation routes were obscure and hard to understand, and successfully executing them was exceedingly difficult.
After cultivating for only half an hour, large amounts of sweat were already flowing from Mu Tianchen's body. His entire body was drenched, and his handsome little face had begun to flush red.
