Six Years, Breaking Through to Soul King!

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, six years had passed.

One morning, six years later.

Huang Long was already seated in meditation at the foot of Sea God Mountain, cultivating.

This had become one of his habits.

The water elements at the foot of Sea God Mountain were the most abundant, making it a natural mimicry cultivation ground for him.

Six years had completely changed his appearance.

Aside from that eye-catching head of golden hair, he had shot up in height and now looked like an adult.

Not only that, his features had fully matured, and the lines of his brow bone and jaw had become sharper and more defined.

The old spiritual grace was still there, but beneath his eyes lay the unique sharpness of youth.

To put it in a common saying: a jade-like gentleman upon the road, unparalleled in this world.

Of course, he still fell a little short compared to the esteemed readers before the screen.

Gradually, the sun rose above the horizon.

A ray of golden sunlight spilled over Huang Long's body, as though coating him in a layer of gold.

Just then, he slowly exhaled a mouthful of stale air, and his bones crackled loudly throughout his body.

Huang Long slowly opened his eyes and clenched his fists, feeling the abundant power within him.

"After six years, I've finally raised my cultivation to level fifty!"

As he spoke, he let out a long breath. Rather than the joy of a breakthrough, his face showed the relief of a burden finally lifted.

Over the years, although he had access to Sea God Island's finest resources, an endless supply of whale glue, and the Sea God's Light to aid his cultivation, he had not rapidly raised his cultivation. Instead, he had continuously compressed and solidified his soul power, strengthening his foundation in preparation for condensing a soul core in the future.

Although in this era, there was no such concept as a soul core.

As a transmigrator, Huang Long had introduced the entire theory ahead of time.

He understood very clearly the vast difference between soul masters without soul cores and those who possessed them.

Soul masters with soul cores had more precise control over their soul power and could absorb the elemental energy of heaven and earth to replenish their soul power without end.

If not for his preparations to condense a soul core, his cultivation could have reached a higher realm!

He would not have only reached level fifty now.

Of course, if others learned of such thoughts, they would probably drown him in spit.

Some people cultivated bitterly and only reached level fifty at the age of thirty.

Some might even struggle to reach this realm in their entire lives.

Yet he had reached level fifty at this age and was still dissatisfied?

Huang Long reined in his soul power and was about to rise when he suddenly heard footsteps approaching from behind.

Along with those footsteps came Bo Saixi's voice.

"Finally broke through?"

Huang Long hurriedly stood and cupped his fists in salute. "Greetings, Teacher. Reporting to Teacher, I've successfully broken through."

Bo Saixi was still wearing the crimson robe that symbolized her status as High Priest today. Holding a golden scepter, she descended the steps with graceful strides.

"You've just turned twelve, yet your soul power has already broken through to level fifty. Very good."

"When Teacher was your age, even I hadn't reached such a level."

Huang Long straightened slightly and smiled. "That's all thanks to Teacher's excellent instruction—and your personal supervision. Otherwise, I couldn't have broken through so quickly."

Bo Saixi nodded with a smile, her gaze upon Huang Long filled with pride and satisfaction.

From the bottom of her heart, she was immensely pleased with this disciple.

Not only was his talent extraordinary and his memory flawless, but he had thoroughly mastered the foundational theories of soul masters she taught him in just a few years.

He had even developed methods for tempering the body with whale glue and condensing soul cores.

Thanks to these two methods, the strength of every soul master on Sea God Island had undergone tremendous changes.

Ordinary soul masters had greatly improved their physical strength through whale glue body tempering.

Sea Dragon Douluo and the others, including Bo Saixi herself, had become far stronger than before after attempting to condense soul cores.

And all of this had been brought about by this child.

At times, Bo Saixi even wondered whether this child was the reincarnation of some god. Otherwise, how could he know so many things?

Returning to her senses, she reached out and stroked Huang Long's head. "All right. Since you've reached level fifty, Teacher will personally help you obtain your fifth soul ring this time."

"Thank you, Teacher!" Huang Long was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly cupped his fists in thanks.

Bo Saixi gave a soft laugh and patted his shoulder. She said nothing more.

She turned toward the sea. The golden scepter in her hand paused slightly, and her entire body transformed into a streak of golden light that shot into the sky, vanishing in the direction where sea and sky met in the blink of an eye.

Huang Long stood at the foot of Sea God Mountain, looking up at where the red light had vanished, his heart filled with anticipation.

He wondered what kind of dragon-type soul beast his teacher would find for him this time.

Less than half an incense stick later, he saw Bo Saixi flying back from where the sea met the sky.

Looking carefully, he could even see that she was carrying a slender sea soul beast in her hand.

Bang!

After returning to the island, Bo Saixi immediately tossed the sea soul beast in her hand before Huang Long, then landed on the ground.

Once her feet touched down, she pointed at the sea soul beast struggling continuously on the ground and said, "This one will do."

"This sea soul beast is called the Vast Sea Dragon. Its dragon bloodline is even purer than those soul beasts you encountered before, and it has cultivated for forty-six thousand years."

"Come on. Let's see what kind of soul skill you awaken this time."

"Yes, Teacher!"

Huang Long nodded solemnly, then summoned the Yinglong martial soul and fused with it.

The moment the Yinglong martial soul possessed him, an incomparably domineering dragon's might erupted.

The Vast Sea Dragon, which had been struggling constantly moments ago, suddenly stopped after sensing that dragon's might.

The look in its eyes as it gazed at Huang Long was especially filled with reverence, as though it had encountered some so-called "god."

Huang Long did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Every time he revealed his martial soul, these soul beasts would look at him like this, making him feel a little embarrassed.

And every soul beast acted this way, so he still had not even gotten his hands on a single soul bone.

He sighed helplessly, closed his eyes, and swiped his claw to end its life.

Once the soul ring appeared, he immediately sat down cross-legged and circulated his soul power to draw the soul ring over.

About the time it took to drink a cup of tea passed.

When his soul power stabilized, two purple and two black soul rings slowly rose from beneath him and connected with the Vast Sea Dragon's soul ring.

Five soul rings—purple, purple, black, black, black—slowly revolved around him, radiating surging fluctuations of soul power.

Huang Long slowly opened his eyes, looked up at Bo Saixi, and smiled. "Teacher, I've broken through to level fifty-three!"

"And I gained a soul skill called Earth Bears All Things."

"Earth Bears All Things?"

Bo Saixi frowned slightly and asked curiously, "What does this soul skill do?"

Huang Long rose to his feet and explained, "It's actually like the elemental control from my third and fourth soul skills, except this time, the element I control is earth."

"After I activate the soul skill, my defense increases fourfold, and I can freely manipulate earth elements within a hundred li."

"Through elemental perception, I can even sense the location of every living creature within a thousand meters. No invisibility, stealth, or illusions can escape my perception."

"And when both my feet are on the ground, my body's recovery rate increases by 50%, and my injuries will slowly heal as well."
