Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Emperor, Unifying the Continent!

Shrek Academy is not without its share of possessors of ultimate martial souls. On the contrary, most of the ultimate martial soul possessors across the continent over the past ten thousand years, except for those who are completely unknown, have spent time at Shrek Academy.

For this reason, there are basically no academies on the mainland that understand the cultivation of ultimate martial souls better than Shrek Academy.

Ultimate Martial Souls, regardless of their attribute—whether it's Ultimate Fire, Ultimate Wind, or Ultimate Wood—the records left by their owners detail the slow cultivation speed of these ultimate Martial Souls during their cultivation levels from level 30 to 70.

This has been confirmed by multiple sources, so there will be no problem.

Although there is no precedent for the attribute of ultimate light, it is unlikely to be wrong, and Xu Tianming's year of cultivation can be roughly verified.

Although Xu Tianming's soul power increased from level 32 to level 39 in just one year, this was due to a combination of energy gained from killing evil soul masters, the medicinal power of the Life Elixir, the top-tier light attribute auxiliary cultivation treasure like the Radiant Glazed Jade, and the cultivation speed boosted by suppressing the evil fire with Ma Xiaotao.

It was only through a combination of factors that Xu Tianming's cultivation level was raised from level 32 to level 39 within a year.

Is this cultivation speed slow?

It's not slow; it's even faster than the cultivation speed of some ordinary Soul Masters!

The problem is, this model cannot be replicated in the long run! This is an opportunity!

It goes without saying that obtaining the energy of an evil spirit master is possible, but one must never take a second Life Elixir, as that would cause problems with one's foundation and could even leave behind medicinal poison.

Xu Tianming will not be able to consume similar elixirs anymore, otherwise the superiority of his ultimate martial soul will be diminished.

The auxiliary effects of the Bright Glazed Jade will gradually weaken as Xu Tianming's cultivation level increases. This includes the "dual cultivation" of evil fire between him and Ma Xiaotao, which will also become less effective as Ma Xiaotao's evil fire weakens.

Under these circumstances, Elder Mu did not have high expectations for Xu Tianming's cultivation speed.

When he returned, he didn't even think Xu Tianming would break through level 40, because the bottleneck of the ultimate martial soul master is more difficult to break through than that of an ordinary soul master.

But now, Zhang Lexuan actually told him, "Just don't say that Xu Tianming's cultivation speed is too fast?"

This is no joke!

"Teacher, my current cultivation level is already at the peak of level 42. I estimate that I should be able to try to break through to level 43 in a few days."

Xu Tianming looked at Elder Mu and said softly, with a hint of smugness on his face.

To be honest, Xu Tianming himself hadn't expected this cultivation speed.

His goal for himself was to reach the Soul Saint level before the age of twenty, which would be quite good. This was based on the fact that he knew a lot of resource points. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for someone with an ultimate martial soul to break through to the Soul Saint level at the age of twenty!

But now it seems that this goal isn't so difficult.

"How many? Forty-two?!"

Old Mu's relaxed eyelids lifted up almost halfway, his cloudy eyes showing a hint of surprise.

"Yes, teacher, I'm at level 42."

As Xu Tianming spoke, he directly released his martial spirit.

A flash of light emanated from the ultimate attribute, and the majestic and domineering Emperor's Battle Halberd appeared in his hand. The aura and pressure it emitted were no weaker than that of a Soul King, and even approached that of a Soul Emperor!

Compared to the pressure he released, the four spirit rings—two purple and two black—that rose from beneath his feet were even more eye-catching!

Two purple and two black!

Even though Elder Mu, as the master of the Sea God Pavilion, had traversed the continent for hundreds of years, he had never seen such a soul ring configuration.

After all, even if one has twin martial souls, the way one adds a soul ring to the second martial soul after improving one's cultivation level would not be in this way.

"Your spirit rings..."

Old Mu truly felt that the world was changing too fast, so fast that he couldn't quite keep up.

This doesn't make sense!

It seems he left the academy less than a month ago, right?

While the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was beginning to emphasize the cultivation of basic Soul Master skills, his disciple went directly from level 39 to level 42, and his Soul Rings changed from one yellow and two purple to two purple and two black.

Was he gone for a month or a year?

Seeing this, Xu Tianming quickly explained the situation to Elder Mu, with Zhang Lexuan occasionally adding to the explanation.

About ten minutes later, Old Mu finally learned what had happened during the few days he had been gone.

"You guys... you dare to provoke a 20,000-year-old Dark Gold Devilclaw Bear and a herd of Golden Crocodiles? You've got some nerve!"

Old Master Mu sighed and gave the two men a warning.

He had far more experience than the two of them and was very clear about the dangers involved!

If they weren't taking advantage of a loophole, neither of these two sides would be people they could afford to offend.

Xu Tianming chuckled and said, "Teacher, we wouldn't have gone to find them if they hadn't started fighting. But luckily, we gained a lot!"

This harvest was truly extraordinary. Not only did their martial souls fuse, but all their soul rings were also strengthened, and they even obtained a soul bone and two soul beasts that could be used as top-tier ingredients.

"Oh right, I almost forgot about this..."

Suddenly, Xu Tianming slapped his forehead and took something out of his storage soul tool.

It was a bone, not large, radiating a dark golden luster.

It's just a bone, but at first glance it gives people an extremely sharp, even somewhat dazzling feeling!

"This is..."

Old Master Mu was very knowledgeable, and the moment Xu Tianming took it out, he recognized what it was.

"Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear Paw Bone?!"

Old Mu's mouth opened slightly, unsure of what to say.

My disciple seems to have an absurdly good luck!

After breaking through to level 40, he went to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a spirit ring and happened to witness a fight between the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and a group of Golden Crocodiles. He obtained two ten-thousand-year spirit rings from top-tier spirit beasts and broke through from level 40 to level 42 in one go!

That wasn't all; they even obtained a soul bone!

A 20,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Soul Bone!

It's still an external soul bone!

What incredible luck!

"You've been back from your soul hunt for a while now, and you've just left this soul bone here without absorbing it?"

Old Master Mu looked at Xu Tianming and asked softly.

Xu Tianming smiled and said, "At first, I did think about absorbing it as soon as I got back, but then I thought that this was the first time I had obtained such a soul bone, so I thought it would be better to wait until you came back, teacher, to discuss it."

External soul bones are indeed extremely rare, let alone the external soul bone of a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

There's a bit of a trick to absorbing this stuff; if anything goes wrong, it's definitely safer with Elder Mu around.

Moreover... Xu Tianming had a little scheme in mind.

Direct absorption carries significant risks, but if we wait for Elder Mu to return and discuss it with him before absorbing him... this is a way to build a closer relationship!
