Three years later, in the Mixed Zone of the Star Dou Great Forest.
A deafening roar shattered the forest's tranquility, followed by a violent crash that seemed to shake the very earth.
A massive, Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Scarlet Flame Demon Tiger, roared angrily. Its body was covered in wounds, and blood dripped from its fur onto the ground.
Its eyes were bloodshot as it stared intently at the tall figure wielding a three-section staff in front of it.
It was a man about two meters tall, with a burly build and sculpted muscles. He was shirtless, and his face was covered with fine beads of sweat that glistened in the sunlight.
His face was cold and stern, and his gaze at the Scarlet Flame Demon Tiger was as sharp as a knife.
It was Toji, who was already eighteen years old.
At this moment, four Soul Ring were flashing beneath his feet.
Black, black, black, black!
It completely surpasses the optimal configuration of Soul Ring.
Over the past three years, he has gradually upgraded all his Soul Ring, all of which are high-quality Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, which have greatly benefited his ability improvement.
"Roar!" The Scarlet Flame Demon Tiger roared again and pounced on Toji, its sharp claws slicing through the air with a few streaks of cold light.
Toji of retreating, he advanced, suddenly swinging his Playful Cloud like a dragon, the shadow of the staff whistling through the air, and slamming it hard into the Scarlet Flame Demon Tiger.
No backing down, face it head-on!
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, the Scarlet Flame Demon Tiger's massive body was sent flying by the blow, crashing heavily into a large tree. The trunk instantly snapped, sending splinters flying everywhere.
The Scarlet Flame Demon Tiger struggled to its feet, sensing the threat from the humans before it. It let out a low growl of resentment, then turned and fled into the depths of the forest.
Toji didn't pursue them, but stood there, breathing slightly, his chest rising and falling with his breath, his body surface faintly showing signs of Qi and Blood flowing, the veins under his skin bulging like dragons, and the sound of his heart beating like a drum, echoing throughout the entire forest.
"Thump--Thump--Thump--"
That powerful Bloodline Power was like a lurking Ferocious Beast, ready to erupt at any moment.
Sensing this terrifying aura, the surrounding Soul Beast scattered and fled, not daring to approach even slightly.
"... I never expected to achieve a breakthrough at this moment. It seems my cultivation technique has truly reached its peak."
Toji's eyes lit up, and he took out a crystal ball and placed his hand on it.
I'm already level 50.
In three years, I jumped from level 43 to level 50!
This is the result of cultivating at a speed that is about ten times slower than that of a normal Soul Master.
If body cultivators weren't slower than normal Soul Master in their cultivation, who knows Toji their cultivation would have soared by now.
Just then, a figure descended from the sky and landed beside Toji.
Du Busi looked at Toji in front of him with a satisfied expression.
Ever since Toji started dating him, he's been in a great mood every day.
It's hard to imagine a teacher with such an exceptional talent not being in a good mood.
"Congratulations on achieving mastery of your Qi and Blood cultivation technique. I never expected you to be able to perfect it during battle."
"You scared away that Scarlet Flame Demon Tiger, which is about 30,000 years old."
"My success is inseparable from my teacher's help." Toji sincerely bowed to Du Busi.
Since following Du Busi, his cultivation path has indeed been smooth sailing.
Without Du Busi's help, he would probably have taken many detours and might still be around level 40.
Du Busi laughed and patted Toji on the shoulder:
Don't give me that. I didn't teach you much. Your success today is entirely due to your own hard work.
"Alright, enough of those compliments."
Du Busi changed his previous attitude and suddenly looked at Toji with extreme seriousness, saying:
"This cultivation technique you created is a perfect match for your Body Martial Soul, and it will also enhance your talents after the Second Awakening. You've felt it, haven't you?"
"Hmm." Toji nodded. He also possessed Body Martial Soul and Gold Grade talent.
With the added bonus of his self-created Qi and Blood cultivation technique, if he were to activate his Gold Grade Second Awakening Talent and combine it with the bonus of his Second Soul Skill "Unyielding Fortitude " while severely injured, his combat ability would rival that of Soul Douluo.
Unfortunately, this condition is short-lived and very harmful to the body.
"On behalf of all the disciples of the Body Sect, I request that you allow me to share this cultivation technique with the other disciples in the sect," Du Busi said after a moment's hesitation.
"I know it's a bit shameless of me to say this, after all, this is a technique you created all by yourself, but it can indeed greatly improve the cultivation and foundation of the user of the Body Martial Soul..."
As he spoke, Du Busi was about to bow to Toji, but upon seeing this, the latter panicked and quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"Teacher, what are you saying? This is a self-created technique that we developed together. You naturally have the right to share it with the entire sect."
"Besides, even if you didn't bring this up, once I become the sect leader, I will definitely share this improved cultivation method to enhance the overall strength of the entire sect."
"... You're a good boy." Seeing Du Busi Toji's attitude, Du Busi sighed. "That's why I don't want to take all the credit, and even less do I want to reveal the technique without your permission."
"It's fair to say that without you, this cultivation technique wouldn't have been created."
On behalf of all the disciples of the Body Sect, thank you.
"You flatter me..." Toji wiped his sweat. If a teacher were to actually bow to a student, that would be... completely upside down.
"Sharing the cultivation technique with the entire sect is your achievement alone," Du Busi said in a deep voice. "Don't refuse; it will be very beneficial for your future succession as sect leader."
"Yes..." Toji suddenly felt the burden on her shoulders grow even heavier...
"Once you obtain your Fifth Soul Ring, come back to the Body Sect with me, and we'll announce this together."
"Teacher, it's quite difficult to find a suitable high-quality Soul Beast, so let's not rush into getting Fifth Soul Ring." Toji shook his head in rejection.
"Oh? It seems you have your own ideas. Then the teacher won't force you." Du Busi chuckled.
"I need to go back to Heaven Dou City to check on my businesses and also see how the Soul Tool is developing."
Toji explained.
"Hmm... those Storage Soul Tool and Invincible Shield you gave us before were pretty useful. Get us a few more to play with sometime."
Du Busi to be willing to handle Soul Tool, especially these functional Soul Tool.
I have to say, it's really useful.
Seeing Toji using these functional Soul Tool every day, he started to enjoy using them too.
"Of course." Toji had already thought of how to resolve the issue of his Fifth Soul Ring, and then said, "However, when I obtain my Fifth Soul Ring in a while, I'll need to ask my teacher to come out of seclusion and help me solve some problems."
"Hahaha, no problem. It's rare for my student to ask me for help, so of course I'll step in and solve the problem." Du Busi laughed heartily.
"No problem, everything is negotiable!"
