Chapter 264 Sharp Light, Breaking Through the Heavens and Earth.
The terrifying combination of three spirit rings rippled from the spear, and violent spirit power instantly swept across the entire arena.
Level 67, Level 68, Level 69!
This 100,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear spirit ring forcibly boosted Wu Xuan's spirit power by three levels. Now, Wu Xuan is only one level away from breaking through to Soul Saint, completely possessing the strength to crush Title Douluos.
Wu Xuan braced himself with one hand on the ground and leaped suddenly, jumping nearly five meters high. Wu Xuan stretched his somewhat stiff body, and the cracking sounds of his bones instantly filled the air. Clearly, the absorption of the 100,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear spirit ring had once again given Wu Xuan a leap in overall strength.
"Not bad momentum, what kind of spirit skill did the little guy acquire this time?" Elder Xuan chuckled from the side.
Wu Xuan carefully sensed it and said, "This time I obtained an amplification soul skill, an offensive soul skill."
"I call the amplification soul skill 'Sharp Light.' Its effect is to grant the Soul-Breaking Spear the transformation ability of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. After transformation, my Soul-Breaking Spear will directly ignore all defenses formed by energy. In addition, it will directly add 100% attack power and 200% penetration!"
"Hiss~!" Elder Xuan gasped sharply.
"I call the offensive soul skill 'Mountain-Supporting Heaven and Earth Break!' Besides adding a shattering effect to the Soul-Breaking Spear, its power is estimated to be similar to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's Sky-Tearing Claw." Wu Xuan said, a smile appearing on his lips.
"As expected of a top-tier mutated martial soul, it perfectly inherits all the advantages of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Truly unexpected." Elder Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
Wu Xuan simply smiled at this. A strange luster appeared within his original pale blue soul power, a dreamlike luster that seemed to be black and white merging into his original soul power.
With this additional layer of light, Wu Xuan was astonished to find that the quality of his soul power seemed to have changed, becoming more noble and filled with a strange fluctuation. This fluctuation was directly related to his soul, seemingly completely fused with his spiritual power and consciousness. Or rather, spiritual power and soul power seemed to no longer be separate, becoming a kind of power of the same type.
"Alright, since you've finished absorbing, I'll be leaving now." Elder Xuan said, shaking the wine gourd in his hand.
"Take care, sir!" Wu Xuan waved his hand, then headed directly towards the inner courtyard's dining hall.
He was quite hungry after not eating for several days.
After a hearty lunch, Wu Xuan carried several boxed lunches that Uncle Liu had packed for him and left the academy.
Being able to pack food from the inner courtyard's dining hall was a privilege unique to Wu Xuan; even the academy's instructors didn't have this privilege.
The wings of his flying soul tool unfurled behind Wu Xuan, and brilliant flames streaked across the sky as he flew directly southwest.
Sunset Forest is located near Tiandou City, the capital of the Tianhun Empire, which is situated in the north-central part of the empire and not too far from Shrek City. With the acceleration provided by Wu Xuan's second soul skill, the outline of Tiandou City appeared in his sight in just half a day.
Recalling the trouble he had encountered when passing through Tiandou City last time, Wu Xuan deliberately avoided its area. Since the widespread adoption of flying soul tools, air traffic control by various countries has become increasingly strict. This is inevitable, as everyone fears being suddenly attacked in the air.
After flying at full speed for about a quarter of an hour, the true appearance of Sunset Forest finally came into Wu Xuan's view.
The vegetation in Sunset Forest was sparser compared to Star Dou Great Forest. The species were also slightly different. This was mainly due to its geographical location.
The Star Dou Great Forest is located almost in the central part of the continent, with a pleasant climate. The temperature remains between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius year-round. Winter is practically nonexistent, let alone snow and ice.
The Sunset Forest, however, is over a thousand kilometers north of the Star Dou Great Forest. Continuing north for a sufficient amount of time, one can reach the far north. Therefore, the temperature is much lower. Under these conditions, the vegetation is naturally dominated by coniferous forests, which are more suited to the low temperatures. Of course, there are also some subtropical plants.
Compared to the Star Dou Great Forest, the species here are not as abundant, so they appear sparse. However, the vegetation that can survive here is much more resilient.
After landing, Wu Xuan put away his flying soul tool and rested on the spot. Although his soul power and mental state were excellent, it was almost dusk, and Wu Xuan wouldn't venture into the Sunset Forest in the dark.
Wu Xuan took out the lunchbox he had packed in the inner courtyard at noon and ate it with relish. The specially made storage soul tool was excellent; even the calories from the lunchbox itself weren't lost.
Finding a branch with a sufficiently thick trunk, Wu Xuan immediately lay down and fell asleep.
At dawn, as a brilliant ray of sunshine pierced the sky, Wu Xuan got up and slowly stretched. After washing up briefly by a stream, he took out a steamed cake and headed towards Sunset Forest.
Yesterday evening, Wu Xuan stopped far from Sunset Forest, as he dared not approach too closely, knowing from his past life that the forest was rife with poisonous miasma.
After traveling at high speed for nearly an hour, Wu Xuan had now penetrated to the outer edge of Sunset Forest. The further in he went, the denser the vegetation became.
According to Xiao Xiao, there were hardly any spirit beasts left in Sunset Forest, but Wu Xuan did not lower his guard. Regardless of whether there was danger, Wu Xuan kept his wind element spirit's aura perception active.
"Bang! Bang!" A massive, armored rhinoceros slowly came into Wu Xuan's view with heavy footsteps.
A powerful spirit beast with thick plate armor covering its entire body. In an open area, its impact would definitely be among the strongest of spirit beasts of the same cultivation level. Their thick, sturdy plate armor provided them with formidable defense.
The armored rhinoceros seemed to have spotted Wu Xuan, its small eyes fixed on him, before charging forward.
"Looking for death! I've been avoiding you, and you still turn around and follow me?"
Wind elements gathered, and a short, emerald-green spear silently appeared in Wu Xuan's hand. The next moment, the spear flew from his grasp, the sound of it piercing the air even creating a sonic boom.
The spear instantly pierced the armored rhinoceros's thick plate armor, pinning it to the ground.
The armored rhinoceros let out a miserable howl, its short limbs thrashing about. Wu Xuan sneered, took out a water pouch from his soul tool, and took a sip of water. A purple thousand-year soul ring floated out from the armored rhinoceros's corpse.
Wu Xuan didn't collect any materials from the armored rhinoceros, simply walking past it. Firstly, the flesh and blood of a thousand-year-old armored rhinoceros weren't valuable, and secondly, the soul beasts living in the Sunset Forest might be highly poisonous.
