Breakthrough, Spirit Connection Realm!

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

Although he had yet to make a breakthrough in Thousand Forging, Yao Xuan's Soul Power Level had reached level 12 through his continuous cultivation of the Fortune Soul Forging Art. He had completed his first breakthrough after advancing to the Soul Master realm and moved another step closer to the Soul Grandmaster realm.

Although the amount of worldly Soul Power required for each advancement increased along with his level, Yao Xuan was fully confident that he could break through to Soul Grandmaster within two years. What he needed now was to obtain as many Golden Evolution Points as possible to increase the concentration of his Ancestral Dragon Bloodline.

Aside from his breakthrough in Soul Power Level, the Fortune Soul Forging Art's excellent enhancement of Spiritual Power had allowed Yao Xuan's Spiritual Power to reach 99 points ten days ago—the limit of the Spirit Origin Realm.

As long as Yao Xuan's Spiritual Power increased by one more point, he could break through the shackles of the Spirit Origin Realm and reach another, higher Spiritual Power realm—the Spirit Connection Realm.

Unlike the Spirit Origin Realm, once a Soul Master's Spiritual Power reached the Spirit Connection Realm, they would have gained a basic grasp of Spiritual Power. They could truly control their own Spiritual Power to perform simple tasks, such as moving objects through the air.

Of course, in the Spirit Connection Realm, a Soul Master's Spiritual Power was still not particularly strong. They could only use it to move relatively light objects such as cups and books, and generally lacked the ability to use Spiritual Power in actual combat. Even so, compared to the Spirit Origin Realm, this was already an enormous breakthrough.

Moreover, if a Soul Master wished to enter an Advanced Soul Master Academy, breaking through to the Spirit Connection Realm was also one of the necessary requirements.

For Soul Masters, Spiritual Power at the Spirit Origin Realm could only support one yellow Soul Spirit, with Soul Grandmaster being the limit of their advancement. Spiritual Power at the Spirit Connection Realm, on the other hand, could support two yellow Soul Spirits or one purple Soul Spirit, allowing a Soul Master to advance at least to Soul Ancestor and possess the potential to continue advancing.

As for Yao Xuan, after his Spiritual Power reached 99 points, he also encountered a certain bottleneck. However, over the past ten days of cultivation, the Spiritual Power accumulating in his Sea of Consciousness had grown increasingly abundant, constantly battering against the bottleneck restraining his Sea of Consciousness. The cracks in that bottleneck had also become more and more numerous.

One final push. Today's the day!

After completing his forging, returning home, eating dinner, and entering his bedroom, Yao Xuan shut the door, closed his eyes, and activated the Fortune Soul Forging Art.

As the Fortune Soul Forging Art operated, an enormous amount of worldly Soul Power gathered within Yao Xuan's bedroom, and Yao Xuan guided, compressed, and refined it.

As he refined the Soul Power, the Spiritual Power accumulated in Yao Xuan's Sea of Consciousness grew increasingly surging, transforming into waves of Spiritual Power that continuously crashed against the invisible boundary binding his Sea of Consciousness.

After being battered for the past ten days, that invisible bottleneck had already become riddled with holes and was on the verge of collapse. Once it was shattered, Yao Xuan's Sea of Consciousness could continue expanding, contain more Spiritual Power, and successfully advance to the Spirit Connection Realm.

However, though that bottleneck appeared fragile, Yao Xuan controlled his Spiritual Power to strike it continuously for nearly an hour, yet it still stood firm, as though determined to resist him to the bitter end.

Fine, then I'll spend a Golden Evolution Point.

Feeling the bottleneck that had refused to break for so long, Yao Xuan frowned slightly. At last, he made up his mind, opened the Super God System, and tapped the panel.

Consume Golden Evolution Points x1 to increase Spiritual Power strength and break through to the Spirit Connection Realm. Enhance?

As Yao Xuan willed it, the system's prompt sounded beside his ear.

"Yes!"

Nodding silently, Yao Xuan issued the command to the system.

At Yao Xuan's command, one Golden Evolution Point was consumed, transforming into an incomparably cool current that entered his Sea of Consciousness.

The moment this current entered Yao Xuan's Sea of Consciousness, it was immediately refined by his Spiritual Power, transforming into streams of incomparably pure Spiritual Power that merged into the tide assaulting the Spirit Connection Realm bottleneck.

"Crack! Crack!"

With this fresh reinforcement joining the fray, the tide of Spiritual Power in Yao Xuan's Sea of Consciousness instantly became several times more powerful, and its impact against the Spirit Connection Realm bottleneck grew increasingly fierce. In just a few breaths, Yao Xuan felt bursts of cracking sounds by his ears, while his Sea of Consciousness swelled slightly.

"Boom!"

About thirty seconds later, a thunderous roar suddenly rang out beside Yao Xuan's ears, like the impact of a thousand-zhang waterfall crashing down from the heavens, or the explosive crack of lightning striking the ground. It made his mind buzz faintly.

Accompanied by that thunderous roar, the barrier restraining Yao Xuan's Sea of Consciousness shattered violently. In an instant, he felt as if the world around him had suddenly opened up. His perception of the world seemed far clearer, his thoughts accelerated at once, and many problems that had puzzled him were suddenly understood.

Not only that, with the restraints removed, Yao Xuan's Sea of Consciousness was expanding at a perceptible speed, allowing it to contain more Spiritual Power. Furthermore, the total amount of his Spiritual Power was steadily increasing.

A full half hour later, Yao Xuan's Sea of Consciousness finally stabilized. Only then did Yao Xuan slowly stop cultivating the Fortune Soul Forging Art and open his eyes.

"The Spirit Connection Realm—I've finally broken through to the Spirit Connection Realm!"

Feeling his completely transformed Sea of Consciousness and the Spiritual Power that had suddenly become far more condensed, a satisfied smile appeared on Yao Xuan's face.

"106 points of Spiritual Power? Not bad! Now, let me test what Spiritual Power in the Spirit Connection Realm can do!"

Looking at his attributes on the system panel, Yao Xuan saw that after breaking through to the Spirit Connection Realm, his Spiritual Power had not stopped at 100 points but had naturally risen to 106. After confirming his Spiritual Power, Yao Xuan eagerly extended a thread of Spiritual Power, preparing to try moving an object through the air.

Locking his Spiritual Power onto a ballpoint pen on the desk, Yao Xuan willed it to rise into the air.

At Yao Xuan's command, the pen shook violently, but ultimately failed to rise.

Is my Spiritual Power not focused enough? Then I'll try again!

Although no one had instructed Yao Xuan in the use of Spiritual Power, the extraordinary comprehension granted by the system ability Enhanced Comprehension allowed him to immediately discover the root of the problem and adjust accordingly.

This time, though it wobbled somewhat, the pen truly rose off the desk and hovered fifty centimeters above its surface.

For an ordinary Soul Master who had just entered the Spirit Connection Realm, even with a teacher's guidance, it would take at least several days of constant attempts and practice to use Spiritual Power to such an extent. Yet Yao Xuan had achieved the same result in only two tries. Even a Titled Douluo would likely marvel endlessly at Yao Xuan's talent upon seeing this.
