If they engaged in close-quarters combat with Soul Masters of the same rank again, they would hold an even greater advantage.
But compared to the improvement of their physical bodies, this was not their greatest gain.
What truly delighted them was the qualitative transformation in the quality of their Soul Power.
Now, their Soul Power had become more condensed and purer. The same amount of Soul Power could unleash greater might.
Not only had the power of their soul skills increased significantly, but the rate at which they consumed Soul Power would also decrease. Their sustained combat ability now far surpassed what it had been before.
Simply put, though they were still Soul Ancestors, they could now use their higher-quality Soul Power to completely suppress their former selves in battle.
Xiao Hongchen slowly clenched his fist, sensing the power within him that was more abundant and condensed than ever before. His eyes were filled with excitement.
He was almost certain that this single tempering had raised his overall strength by at least ten percent.
And there were still four or five days until the midterm assessment.
If he could complete such a tempering once each day from now on, then even if the subsequent gains gradually weakened, he was absolutely confident that he would undergo another qualitative leap before the assessment began.
By then, even against a Soul Master with one more soul ring than him, he might not be without the strength to fight.
"You must have gained quite a bit from this tempering and come to many realizations."
"For the next few days, do not rush to raise your cultivation further. First, thoroughly absorb what you have gained this time and stabilize your foundation. When the midterm assessment arrives, bring all these gains into full play."
