Wu Ling followed the Gui Mei back to Spirit City, and by then his Soul Power Level had reached level sixty-five.
Logically speaking, even if the age of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Spirit Ring is increased to 100,000 years, since part of it comes from the Spirit Master, the part that can actually be used for improvement is still mainly the part from the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. As for Wu Ling's current physique and Soul Power, the Soul Power contained in the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring can only help him reach level 61 at best, let alone level 65.
The reason I was able to reach this level is largely thanks to Angra Mainyu's enhancement. Although most of the energy was used to modify the Spirit Ring, the remaining amount was enough for my Wu Ling to advance to level four.
As for the issue of his foundation, Wu Ling had also checked it. When he faced Angra Mainyu, the billions of cells in his body were completely united, compressing and absorbing the Soul Power surging into his body layer by layer, resulting in a foundation that was even more stable than he had cultivated himself.
This discovery gave Wu Ling the idea to try cultivating " Ape Martial Arts." However, during his journey, Wu Ling tried all sorts of methods, including having Xiao Fen experiment directly on his body, but he still couldn't achieve the same sense of unity throughout his body as before. In the end, Wu Ling could only attribute this to the difference in cultivation systems.
Back in his home, Wu Ling waved for the butler to leave. Then, with a flick of his wrist, his first clone Xiao Hong, and his fifth clone Berserker, all appeared inside the house, surrounding Wu Ling.
Then, his shadow continued to surge, and in the middle of the crowd, a sleeping black figure was slowly squeezed out of the shadow.
The clone had dark brown skin and jet-black hair. His entire body was covered in hieroglyphs, and his clothes included a tattered red loincloth, a large handkerchief of the same color, and black bandages wrapped around his forearms and calves.
Most importantly, the appearance of that clone is clearly that of Angra Mainyu from FGO!
Originally, as clones of the Wu Ling, Xiao Hong did have some features of the original characters in FGO, but only a small part of their appearance. Ultimately, they were still mainly based on the Wu Ling, roughly 80/20, with the Wu Ling accounting for 80% and the original characters accounting for 20%.
Even the most special Berserker was mainly because Wu Ling felt that it was a bit too incongruous for such a handsome and delicate face to suddenly have such a large mass of muscles. After all, not everyone can be as well-suited as that "muscle Barbie," so Wu Ling deliberately adjusted his appearance when they separated.
However, this Sixth Clone, which was separated from the Servant Angra Mainyu, has an appearance that is nearly 90% the same as the original. In addition, with the arrival of the real Angra Mainyu, the Wu Ling has been suppressing its awakening with the power of the original body ever since it was summoned.
" Xiao Fen, how's the research going?" Wu Ling looked at Xiao Fen, who had been researching all the way, hoping she could give him some reassuring good news.
"According to the research data,..."
Seeing how meticulous Xiao Fen was in her explanation, Wu Ling listened even more attentively.
"The mother of my child has amazing genes!"
"... That's it?" Wu Ling asked, frowning.
"Um... or rather, your genes, etc., let me rephrase that!" Seeing Wu Ling clench his fist, Xiao Fen quickly admitted her mistake and said.
"Don't worry, main body, I'm sure this is your Sixth Clone, definitely not Angra Mainyu or anything like that."
"Are you sure he doesn't have any backup plans? What about his appearance?"
Hearing the lingering unease in Wu Ling's voice, Xiao Fen explained, "I'm sure it's not some kind of backup plan. After all, you can clearly tell from the power within the body alone. Besides, what descended back then was at most a wisp of consciousness and aura. I can still tell if it's a backup plan of that level."
As for appearance, as I just mentioned, Angra Mainyu modified your Sixth Soul Ring, and your clones were created based on Spirit Ring. Therefore, the part of that Spirit Ring composed by Angra Mainyu is much larger than that of your original self.
Simply put, it's like creating a child. Angra Mainyu's genes (energy) are stronger than yours, so the created clone resembles her.
"At least on the bright side, according to the Type-Moon universe, Angra Mainyu's true form might actually be female. And the fact that she came from Type-Moon means you could potentially go there from Douluo. With that connection, you'd have someone protecting you, right?"
"You mean you're a kept man?" Wu Ling looked at Xiao Fen in her eyes.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Fen quickly corrected herself, saying, "Ahem, just taking advantage of the situation, nothing more."
"So that's how it is. So, when you agreed to become Bibi Dong's disciple, it was because you were using her influence, not because you were a kept man," Xiao Hong, who had been quiet all along, suddenly said, surprising everyone.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Wu Ling suddenly smiled and put his arm around Xiao Hong's shoulder. "I understand. Have you been too idle lately? Here's what we'll do: Xiao Lan, Xiao Hei, and Berserker, the three of you have a good practice session with Xiao Hong today. I'll be there in a bit."
"Wait a minute..."
"No problem! The main body."
"I haven't told..."
"I will definitely cultivate Xiao Hong diligently."
"Let me finish speaking..."
" Xiao Hei, Berserker, let's go!"
Having received Wu Ling's order, Xiao Lan completely ignored Xiao Hong's protests and, with a bright smile, instructed Xiao Hei and Berserker to carry Xiao Hong out, arm in arm.
But after being distracted by Xiao Hong, Wu Ling felt much more relaxed. Recalling what Xiao Fen had said, she realized... it wasn't so bad after all!
After all, only by living can one have a future. That's why he resolutely joined the Spirit Hall and became Bibi Dong's disciple, instead of trying to create his own power without any foundation or resources, or going to the Shrek Academy and living a life of hunger and hardship.
"By the way, I also discovered something else." Xiao Fen, who stayed behind, saw that Wu Ling's brows, which had been furrowed all the way because of Angra Mainyu, gradually relaxed, so she brought up another matter.
"What?"
"From him, I saw the possibility of traversing the world."
Wu Ling: "!!!"
"What do you mean!" Wu Ling asked hurriedly.
This time, Xiao Fen didn't joke around. Instead, she explained in detail, "It seems that the aura that Angra Mainyu leaked back then passed through other worlds. If I use the energy in his body as a catalyst, I might be able to research a method for traversing worlds, although it would only be limited to the few worlds touched by Angra Mainyu's aura."
Because many readers have requested time travel, I've specially created this time travel ability to test the waters. The worlds are tentatively set as Douluo II (the original novel), the God of Wine, and the Zither Emperor. Readers with ideas can leave a message here. For example, if you don't want to travel, that's fine too. Also, because so much time has passed, I might have forgotten some parts of the plot, so I'll need your corrections later.
