Second Awakening Method

Huo Yuhao was dazedly accepted as Du Bushi's disciple.

Uchiha Huan and Huo Yuhao were assigned to a small courtyard by the cliff.

The courtyard was very simple, with a vast sea of clouds outside.

The two of them had finally settled down, and Huo Yuhao asked the question that had been troubling him.

"Xiao Huan, Teacher hadn't intended to take me as his disciple today. Why did he change his mind?"

"I told him your true identity."

"Me? My true identity? Why don't I know about it? What true identity could I possibly have?"

Uchiha Huan looked toward the mountaintop above the courtyard.

"Old Huo, have you forgotten that I can see the future?"

"Oh..."

Huo Yuhao scratched his head. He felt that Uchiha Huan treated him far too well.

First, he had given him the million-year soul beast, and then he had given him the chance to become a disciple.

Just then, Du Bushi, who had been hiding nearby all along, descended from the sky and landed before them.

"Teacher. Sect Master."

"Mm." Du Bushi wore the expression of a transcendent expert.

Yet with his hulking build and fierce, fleshy face, he truly could not pull off that detached and otherworldly air.

"Are you two ready?"

"Ready for what?" Uchiha Huan asked in confusion. The abrupt question left him somewhat baffled.

He truly could not keep up with Du Bushi's train of thought.

"Ahem... the Body Martial Soul Second Awakening Method."

Uchiha Huan and Huo Yuhao immediately perked up and looked at Du Bushi expectantly.

"The prerequisite for a Body Martial Soul's Second Awakening is tempering one's bloodline, then making a push toward a higher bloodline at the critical point," Du Bushi said. "For example, most disciples with Body Martial Souls possess Black Iron-grade Bloodlines. After tempering their bloodlines, they can reach Silver-grade Bloodlines, though this is still called a Black Iron-grade Second Awakening."

Uchiha Huan and Huo Yuhao nodded. Du Bushi's explanation was detailed, making it easier for them to understand.

"Teacher, can Martial Souls other than Body Martial Souls do this as well?"

"They can, but the effect will be greatly reduced. A Body Martial Soul is most closely connected to one's own bloodline, so its effects are naturally the best." Du Bushi continued, "Awakenings are divided into Black Iron-grade, Silver-grade, Gold-grade, and the legendary Platinum-grade. When my Martial Soul first awakened, I had a Silver-grade Bloodline. I underwent a Silver-Level Second Awakening at rank fifty, then completed a Gold-Level Third Awakening when I broke through to Title Douluo. However, my potential has more or less reached its limit. I can hardly see any hope of reaching rank ninety-nine and becoming a Peerless Douluo."

"Teacher, is it better to undergo a Second Awakening as early as possible?"

"How should I put it? Earlier is indeed better, but under normal circumstances, it is difficult to achieve." Du Bushi said, "Bloodline refinement requires a gradual process. Undergoing a Second Awakening at rank seventy is already the limit. If you undergo it after rank seventy, it will be difficult to have another chance to break through to Title Douluo in the future."

Du Bushi looked at Uchiha Huan again. "As for you, your golden bloodline is extremely rich. If possible, I hope you can complete your Second Awakening between ranks forty and fifty, reaching a Platinum Bloodline. That way, you will have sufficient time to purify your bloodline. Once you become a Title Douluo, you will be able to undergo a Third Awakening."

"Sect Master, must a Third Awakening be carried out only after becoming a Title Douluo?"

"To undergo a Third Awakening, you need sufficiently condensed soul power, immense spiritual power, and a bloodline refined to the utmost limit. Then, with the aid gained from absorbing a high-year Spirit Ring, you can complete the final leap of the Third Awakening."

Uchiha Huan thought about it. It was still too early for him to consider a Third Awakening. His first priority was a Gold-Level Second Awakening.

In the original work, a Black Iron-grade Second Awakening could raise one's combat strength by thirty percent.

A Silver-Level Second Awakening could raise combat strength by sixty percent.

A Gold-Level Second Awakening could raise combat strength by one hundred percent.

That was why Body Martial Soul Title Douluos were far stronger than other Soul Masters of the same rank.

Shrek Academy's Xuan Zi was rank ninety-eight, and his Martial Soul was the super Martial Soul Taotie. He was among the strongest of those at his rank, yet he still could not defeat Du Bushi, who was also rank ninety-eight.

It was all because of the enormous boost brought by a Gold-Level Awakening.

Afterward, Du Bushi began teaching them a more detailed method for refining their bloodlines.

Huo Yuhao was the first to enter meditation and begin cultivating.

Du Bushi looked at Uchiha Huan. Uchiha Huan pursed his lips, then spoke first. "Sect Master, if there's something you want to ask, just ask."

"How did you know that Yuhao is the child of destiny?"

Uchiha Huan tapped his temple, then sent his consciousness into Du Bushi's mind.

"These eyes of mine can see the future, and they can also see destiny." Uchiha Huan said, "In the future, the Sun Moon Empire will launch a war, with the Heaven Soul Empire bearing the brunt of it. The Sun Moon Empire's army will join forces with the Holy Spirit Cult, while the Body Sect will mobilize its entire strength. After that, you will face two Peerless Douluos and die from self-detonation. The Body Sect will decline from then on."

Du Bushi's expression shifted uncertainly. He took several deep breaths before finally calming the chaotic thoughts in his heart.

"Then what is your purpose?" Du Bushi asked.

"Do you know how to become a god?"

Du Bushi shook his head. Shrek Academy surely had a way to become gods, but they kept it tightly hidden.

"Then who do you think has better talent, Yuhao or me?"

"You do." Du Bushi found it difficult to say anything against his conscience.

"One can become a god through inheritance, through faith, or by breaking through the world's great forces with immense perseverance and wisdom." Uchiha Huan said, "Yuhao is the child of destiny. He is fated to become a god. Someone like me can only rely on luck if I want to become a god—either break the shackles of heaven and earth myself, or be chosen by some god."

"So how do you intend to become a god?" Du Bushi could see it now. Uchiha Huan's ambitions were not small.

"None of those paths to godhood are possible."

"What do you mean?"

"Tang San, who ascended to the Divine Realm ten thousand years ago, had his parents hide in our world. His mother, the Blue Silver Emperor, attached herself to Shrek Academy's Golden Tree. The Golden Tree is the core of this world, and the Blue Silver Emperor is stealing its origin. Furthermore, after each successive master of the Sea God Pavilion dies, their soul is devoured by the Blue Silver Emperor. His father, Tang Hao, is devouring the World Will. Tang San also intends to control Yuhao's life. Once his plan succeeds, no one besides the Tang Clan will have any hope of becoming gods. By then, even if some god takes a liking to me, Tang San will be able to use his parents to send endless calamities my way."

Upon hearing Uchiha Huan's words, Du Bushi's scalp went numb.

He had actually heard such a secret.

But what followed was boundless fury.

"Then what should we do?"

"The World Will is currently at a disadvantage because the Golden Tree's origin is being continuously devoured. Once the Blue Silver Emperor completes the devouring, the World Will will collapse completely, and Tang Hao will fully take its place. Yuhao was born in response to Tang San's scheme, created by the World Will. In other words, wherever Yuhao is, that is where the tide of destiny lies. I am staying by Yuhao's side to share in his fortune."
