Golden light flowed through the room, Entanglement Toji as if it were alive.
Di Qiu'er stood to the side, her crimson eyes reflecting the changes that had occurred on Toji's body.
She saw the pale golden patterns moving across Toji panel like living things, and the air was filled with a rich Life force. Even she, as an observer, could feel the energy gradually rising, pushing her overall energy to a higher level of sublimation.
Even the greenery in the room grew wildly, with vines climbing half a wall and flowers blooming at a visible speed.
The entire space seemed to have time fast-forwarded, except for Toji in the center, who remained motionless like the eye of a storm.
Life energy washes over every meridian in Toji, expelling all impurities.
The physical strength of the body was greatly enhanced under the impact of such a massive amount of Life energy.
"Level 55, there's a chance to break through." Toji gritted his teeth and began to push towards the bottleneck, propelled by his Life energy.
Just as a flood breaches a dam, a barrier of fifty-five levels is utterly vulnerable in the face of such immense energy.
Toji's total Qi and Blood surged again, and the circulation speed increased by more than 30%. Even more astonishingly, his Qi and Blood began to carry a trace of Life attribute, and his recovery ability reached a terrifying level.
"Call."
Three hours later, Toji let out a long breath and opened his eyes.
Deep within those dark eyes, a faint golden light flickered, vanishing in an instant.
"It's a success?" Di Qiu'er took a few steps closer, curiously examining the completely transformed Toji.
Toji stood up, stretched his limbs, and his joints made crisp sounds. He immediately took out the crystal ball to check his cultivation level.
Sure enough, I'm already level 55.
"This speed of cultivation improvement is indeed much faster than staying in the Heaven Dou Empire." Toji was so moved by the improvement in her cultivation that she almost burst into tears.
Only opportunities can accelerate one's cultivation progress.
"What are you so moved about? Don't forget, if it weren't for me, you probably would have thrown that invitation away." Di Qiu'er said abruptly, looking at Toji who was lost in thought.
"I really need to thank you for that." Toji looked at Di Qiu'er with a sincere expression.
"The effects of absorbing the Gold of Life are better than expected. My physical strength has at least doubled, and my recovery ability is more than five times what it was before."
What surprised him most was the increase in his cultivation speed. His Life energy had transformed his meridians and Qi and Blood circulation system, which meant that his future cultivation path would be smoother.
"Where's that knife?" Di Qiu'er asked.
Toji smiled slightly and extended his right hand.
A beam of emerald light emerged from his palm, gradually coalescing into the shape of an exquisite carving knife.
Unlike the sinister and terrifying Spirit Devouring Fierce Blade from before, it is now crystal clear, exuding a gentle Life force, with a faint halo flowing along its blade.
"It's no longer the Spirit Devouring Fierce Blade; let's call it the Blade of Life's Watch," Toji said softly, his fingers tracing the blade, feeling the surging Life within it.
Di Qiu'er leaned closer to examine it and couldn't help but exclaim, "Such rich Life energy... plus the nourishment from your Qi and Blood and qi, it has now merged with you. This is already qualified to strive for the level of a divine artifact."
"It is bound to you; if you have the opportunity to reach God Level in the future, it may also become a divine artifact along with you."
"So I got the exclusive weapon, and it's not bad." Toji nodded, weighing the Blade of Life's Watch in his hand. It was rather short, belonging to the dagger or knife category among weapon types.
"What a pity. If it could be shaped like a broadsword or sword, it might suit me better."
Although it's a dagger or knife, its sharpness is outrageous; Toji a light touch can sting your eyes.
The effect is exactly the same as in the original work. After being infused with the same energy Qi and Blood as the Soul Power, its attribute is Life. It can Life Judgment and also endow other objects with Life.
Its growth attributes are still related to Toji's strength; the stronger Toji, the greater its power will be.
Di Qiu'er leaned closer and curiously poked his waist and abdomen:
"How about it?"
"... Don't poke me like that, it's ticklish." Toji waved his hand, placing the Blade of Life's Watch in front of Di Qiu'er, pointing the hilt at her. "Although it's a carving knife, its power is far greater than the Soul Tool I use; it can at least further enhance my combat strength."
Di Qiu'er's eyes widened as she curiously took the knife and examined it from head to toe.
"It seems you've made quite a haul this time. So, what's next? Elder Nether Scorpion is dead, and your trail has gone cold again."
"Sever what? He told me everything he knew." Toji blinked. " Elder Nether Scorpion is dead. Xu Tianran's plan will probably be delayed for a while longer."
He calculated the time and said:
"It will take about a year before we have a chance to get to know Xu Tianran."
"A year?" Di Qiu'er exclaimed in surprise, "Then wouldn't that mean a year of doing absolutely nothing?"
Toji remained calm. "What's the rush? Time is on our side. Besides, waiting doesn't mean doing nothing."
Di Qiu'er narrowed her eyes. "Oh? What are your plans? To find another Evil Soul Master from ten years ago?"
" Elder Nether Scorpion only told me that he currently holds a fairly high position, with the cultivation of Eight-Ring Soul Douluo and the Martial Soul of Ghoul. He is considered a high-ranking member of the Xishui Alliance," Toji said calmly as he sat down.
"Leaving aside the fact that Elder Nether Scorpion didn't mention his exact location, even if we found him, the two of us combined wouldn't be a match for a Soul Douluo Evil Soul Master, let alone the fact that there's more than one of them."
"This needs careful planning. We can't defeat him head-on, so we'll resort to underhanded tactics. But we need to gather intelligence and devise a plan for every aspect of the operation."
Di Qiu'er's eyes lit up:
"Looks like you have an idea. What is it?"
"The three major underground forces are not at peace. The Aodu Chamber of Commerce and the Ordinary Alliance are not on good terms with the Xishui Alliance. Since that's the case, we definitely have to help them deal with the Xishui Alliance." Toji looked at Di Qiu'er and said with a smile.
"Perhaps we can use them to further weaken the overall strength of the Xishui Alliance, and they can also help me find that Evil Soul Master who possesses Ghoul."
"But before that..."
Toji stared intently at Di Qiu'er and took out Soul Tool from his Storage Soul Tool.
"Since you've chosen to cooperate with me, improving your combat power is still very necessary. During this time, I will teach you how to use Soul Tool in combat, and try my best to give you a fully equipped set of Level 7 Soul Tool, just like me."
"Speaking of Soul Tool, where is my Level 7 Flying Soul Tool?" Di Qiu'er reached out her hand to Toji.
"Cash on delivery."
Toji took out her Flying Soul Tool in front of Di Qiu'er.
"Have you received the money?"
Di Qiu'er: "..."
What a stingy guy!
