Level 58! Qirong Presented to Wuji! (Please Recommend! Please Vote Monthly! Please Bookmark!)

Sunlight spilled down, and Sunset Forest was exceptionally beautiful in the evening glow. Birds chirped and insects sang, painting a scene brimming with life.

Su Sanjia emerged from the hidden cave, lazily stretching his body. The fluctuations of soul power around him were noticeably stronger than before.

"A sixty-thousand-year soul bone only raised my soul power by one level? Fine. It seems cultivating an ultimate attribute really does take more time than ordinary martial souls!"

Though he said that, Su Sanjia did not care in the slightest. There was still some time before his fifteenth birthday, yet he was already a level 58 Soul King. At such a young age, no one else in the history of Douluo Continent had ever reached such a level!

"This trip was quite fruitful. Time to leave!"

Judging by the timeline, Dugu Bo should be returning soon. Su Sanjia had taken quite a few good things from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. It was only a matter of time before Dugu Bo discovered that someone had entered. He could not stay here any longer.

His body transformed into a dazzling streak of golden light as Su Sanjia shot into the air, leaving a long trail behind him as he flew toward Heaven Dou City.

After breaking through to the Soul King realm, Su Sanjia was nearly twice as fast as he had been as a Soul Ancestor! Even Bai He, the level 82 agility-attack Soul Douluo renowned for his extreme speed, could only eat Su Sanjia's dust now!

In less than half a day, Su Sanjia traveled from Sunset Forest to Heaven Dou City.

The magnificent Heaven Dou City sprawled across the ground like a colossal beast. No clichéd scene occurred, such as gate guards looking down on him. After casually asking a few passersby for directions, Su Sanjia arrived at Blue Tyrant Academy. Yet upon reaching his destination, he found Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and a woman in fiery red fitted clothing hurrying out.

"Sanjia? You brat, why are you only getting here now?"

Flender froze for a moment, but Tang San had been taken away by Dugu Bo. He had no time to chat with Su Sanjia.

"Get into the academy first. Go find Old Zhao!"

Flender summoned his martial soul, and a pair of enormous wings appeared. He grabbed Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong, and the three flew toward Sunset Forest.

"Looks like my timing is just right!"

Su Sanjia did not pay it much mind. As one of Heaven Dou City's advanced soul master academies, Blue Tyrant Academy had the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect as its backer, more or less. Overall, it was a decent academy. Su Sanjia strolled through it and soon arrived at Zhao Wuji's residence.

"Sanjia, you brat, you finally made it. Oh, right—don't go anywhere tonight. Stay here with me, Old Zhao!"

After Flender and the others left, Zhao Wuji, as the teacher with the highest soul power at Blue Tyrant Academy, naturally had to shoulder responsibility. He was worried as well. Who knew whether some other accident might occur? Having Su Sanjia stay here was also meant to protect him.

"Say, it's only been a few days. Why do you seem a little different, kid?"

Zhao Wuji leaned closer, scratching his chin as he examined Su Sanjia.

"I made a little breakthrough. By the way, Teacher Zhao, I made quite a harvest this time!"

Su Sanjia shut the door, then flicked his wrist. A golden-yellow, multi-petaled chrysanthemum appeared in his hand. The flower had neither color nor scent, but once Zhao Wuji noticed it, he could no longer look away.

"This is..."

"An immortal-grade herb: Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum!"

Su Sanjia lightly supported it on his fingertip, and the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum drifted into Zhao Wuji's arms. The golden chrysanthemum bloomed quietly, its entire form surrounded by faint, pure soul power. There was not a trace of the murky aura common to ordinary plants—only the supreme essence nurtured by heaven and earth.

Zhao Wuji's body trembled slightly, his rugged face filled with disbelief. He had lived for decades and spent half his life roaming the soul master world. Though he did not know much about herbs, he had spent years by Flender's side and understood a thing or two.

Immortal grade!

Those two words struck his mind like a heavy hammer! Flender had once mentioned by chance that such top-tier herbs could only be encountered by luck. A single excellent immortal-grade herb could completely transform a soul master born with merely level-one innate soul power, perhaps even allowing them to touch the realm of a Titled Douluo!

"Sanjia, what do you mean by this? Don't give such a fine immortal-grade herb to an old man like me. You're still young. With the help of something this precious, you'll surely become an Ultimate Douluo in the future!"

Zhao Wuji's voice trembled slightly as he stared fixedly at the chrysanthemum. Yet after thinking for a moment, he forcibly tore his gaze away from the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, despite his martial soul cheering and yearning for the immortal herb.

Su Sanjia chuckled, that carefree, unruly expression returning to his face.

"What's this, Old Zhao? Are you being polite with me? You've known me for so many years—you know I've already taken this kind of top-grade treasure myself. Too much of an immortal herb can be as bad as too little. Taking too many at once might not be a good thing. Besides, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum is better suited for a powerful attack-type beast soul master like you. An indestructible vajra body—what, you don't want it? If you don't, I'll give it to someone else!"

Su Sanjia's flippant words eased Zhao Wuji's worries. Based on what he knew of Su Sanjia, the boy would not deceive him over something like this. He immediately laughed and cursed.

"You brat, I've taught you for so many years, and you'd give such a treasure to an outsider? Fine, I'll take it! Once I break through, I'll handle your soul rings for the rest of your life!"

Zhao Wuji declared boldly, but Su Sanjia's expression turned strange.

"Not that I'm looking down on you, Old Zhao, but are you sure?"

"Hah? Once I break through to Soul Douluo, won't a few ten-thousand-year soul beasts be easy enough to catch? Once I become a Titled Douluo, hmph, even hundred-thousand-year soul beasts won't be beyond trying!"

Zhao Wuji was filled with lofty ambition, completely unaware of how serious the problem was.

"Fine, whatever makes you happy! Hurry up and absorb it. I'll stand guard for you!"

An immortal-grade herb had to be turned into strength as soon as possible to be truly reliable. Zhao Wuji was naturally straightforward and did not hesitate any longer. After consuming the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, he began refining its medicinal power.

He summoned his martial soul, and the pure medicinal power began nourishing the Vigorous Vajra Bear itself while repairing the hidden injuries he had accumulated in his earlier years. This immortal herb suited Zhao Wuji perfectly. If nothing unexpected happened, there would likely soon be another Vajra Douluo in the world.

However, at that moment, Su Sanjia's eyes suddenly caught sight of the phantom of the Vigorous Vajra Bear behind Zhao Wuji. A humanlike expression of pain appeared on the enormous bear face, and beneath its fur, something seemed ready to burst through flesh.

"Martial soul mutation?"

Su Sanjia was slightly surprised. The benefits Zhao Wuji gained from the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum might be even greater than he had imagined!

Meanwhile, in the boys' dormitory of Blue Tyrant Academy.

Dai Mubai sneezed hard.

"Strange. Why do I feel like I've lost something very important?"
