The war stopped, but the aftermath of the battle between the two powerful men still remained on the sea surface for hundreds of miles, without any waves or disturbance.
Xu Xiaoyun brought Xu Tianxi back to the soul guide ship, and then stared blankly in the direction where Tongtian Bazu left, with an expression neither sad nor happy. After a long time, he said, "Don't call me if anything happens." He sat down on the ground, practiced the Xuanming Meditation Method, and activated his soul power to practice silently.
He had a premonition that he would be able to gain some insights by practicing at this time, and this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in his life.
After three moves of fighting with Tongtian Bazu, Xu Xiaoyun vaguely touched a half-opened door in the mist. That door was the door of the Ultimate Douluo that he had longed for and pursued all his life!
If he had had this opportunity a hundred years ago, he would have had a 70% chance of breaking down the door. Now he is old and his energy is not as strong as it was in his prime. However, as a soul master, how could he suppress his excitement when he came into contact with the exquisite principles of cultivation?
If he doesn't pursue a breakthrough, he will die with regrets!
"In the original novel, Old Bastard Xuan said that the second soul core cultivated by the human Extreme Douluo must be of spatial attribute. The three moves made by Tongtian Tyrant Ancestor earlier seemed to contain the power of space. Could it be that Master has realized something and entered into deep meditation?"
Looking at Xu Xiaoyun, whose body was like an old monk in meditation, whose aura was like an ancient tree, and whose body was spontaneously releasing soul power as deep as the sea, Xu Tianxi couldn't help but speculate.
There are generally two situations in the soul master's daily practice, meditation and deep meditation. Ordinary meditation is the usual state of practice, also known as shallow practice. Deep meditation is a state that can be encountered but not sought after. It is when one gains some insights during ordinary meditation, and then the mind sinks into practice on its own. The whole person is completely in a state of concentration, and can no longer feel the changes in the outside world, and can only wake up on his own.
In a state of deep meditation, the soul master's soul power will operate on its own, faster than usual, and his understanding will double, with better results than ten times of ordinary meditation.
When a soul master reaches a bottleneck, if he can enter deep meditation, the chance of a breakthrough will be greatly improved; at the same time, out of the instinct of self-protection, a part of the soul power will overflow from the soul master's body to protect himself and cover up all the soul master's aura.
But this kind of opportunity is too precious, and a soul master may not encounter it many times in his lifetime.
Xu Xiaoyun was able to enter deep meditation after the battle, so it was worth it that he exchanged three moves with Tongtian Bazu.
Very good, very good. Tongtian Bazu is really a good subordinate. He is very honest and sincere. He really teaches you something.
Old Yue couldn't hold back his curiosity, and whispered to Xu Tianxi, "Young Master, what level of strongman did Ancester Xu encounter just now? Not only did he fail to defeat him, but he also entered deep meditation?"
Xu Tianxi put down the dark blue tortoise shell he was studying, waved his hand, and said solemnly:
"That is the most powerful sea soul beast in the world. Master was suppressed very badly and suffered a blow, but it is also an opportunity. It depends on how he grasps it."
Tongtian Bazu has been cultivating for more than 800,000 years. Among the soul beasts on the mainland, only Di Tian has a deeper cultivation than him. He has the home advantage on the sea, and even if Di Tian comes in person, he may not be able to gain the upper hand.
Emperor Tian's Dragon God Claw can suppress all soul beasts in the world, but Tongtian Bazu's bloodline originates from Baxia, the ninth son of the dragon, which is extremely special.
Di Tian calls Taotie "uncle".
Ba Xia, who is one of the nine sons of the dragon together with Taotie, must be able to suppress Di Tian in terms of blood. Although it is not known how much of Ba Xia's bloodline Tongtian Ba Zu has, it is expected that he will not be afraid of Di Tian.
The strength of this powerful man is far beyond the reach of human extreme Douluo. Xu Xiaoyun was hit hard by the dimensionality reduction, but at the moment, his gains must be considerable.
For Xu Tianxi, this experience was a blessing from heaven. The tortoise shell sent by Tongtian Bazu was itself a natural treasure, emitting a deep and lustrous blue light, like a rare gem. Holding it in his hand made him feel energized and all his fatigue disappeared.
He was sure that with the subtle nourishment of this tortoise shell, his spiritual sea would become more stable without him noticing, and he would be able to withstand stronger spiritual shocks. His training efficiency would also be improved to a certain extent, and he would be able to be promoted to the next level within three years.
As for what Tongtian Bazu said about protecting him through a life-and-death crisis, Xu Tianxi directly understood it as him possessing an invincible golden body. As long as he didn't take the initiative to wander around the dangerous places such as the Dog Training Valley of Love and the Xingdou Great Forest, his personal safety would be basically safe.
Of course, before he becomes a seven-ringed soul saint or is able to produce an eighth-level fixed-type soul guide shell, it is better not to face dangerous creatures like Titled Douluo. Although he is not afraid of trouble, there is no need to seek excitement.
As for people like Tang God-King who are at the highest danger level, they must be extremely vigilant! "Although I have the golden medal of immunity from death, I still cannot slack off. The talents of my twin martial souls, my original martial soul, and my ultimate martial soul are too eye-catching. If Tang God-King finds out, he might kill me with a dog chain."
"In order to hook up Huo Yuhao, the son of destiny, and plot against Rong Nianbing, he did not hesitate to tear his daughter's soul into three parts. Once he discovers my existence, I think he will not hesitate to spend more effort to attack me..."
"The opportunity to get Huo Yuhao is right there. If I take Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Electrolux, sooner or later I will be noticed by the God King Tang and suffer all kinds of schemes and attacks from him. The God King Tang now has absolute control over the Douluo Continent and has laid down all kinds of chess pieces.
But if I don't take it, my hope of becoming a god will be infinitely close to zero, and it will be impossible to seek revenge on Shrek..."
Xu Tianxi also sat down cross-legged unconsciously, closed his eyes and thought about the future, calculating various possibilities in his mind. The Xuanming Meditation Method began to work quietly and silently. A stream of soul power flowed between his tendons and acupoints. His body gradually tensed up and he made up his mind.
"...After thinking it over, I decided to give it a try. The worst that can happen is that I have to make more preparations..."
"Even if Tang San captured Kong Xiyue's soul as a hostage like in Huo Yuhao's story, he still can't threaten me. I, Xu Tianxi, am not Huo Yuhao, who has been lonely and mentally incomplete since childhood. If he wants me to be a dog, a dog chain is not enough to do it."
"If no one in the God Realm descends upon me, the worst that can happen is that I will do what the Sea God and the Angels did in the past, unifying the continent, the Far North, and even the ocean, gathering the faith of all living beings to form a Godly throne. I don't believe that my twin talents are not as good as the six-winged angel and the Sea God's trident!"
"If Heaven does not give it to me, I will take it myself! From today onwards, anyone who stands in my way of becoming a god, whether it's Shrek, the Haotian Sect, or even anyone from the four empires, will be killed!"
As his mind raced, a rough plan slowly took shape in Xu Tianxi's mind. His pair of bright eyes suddenly opened, and the full moon behind him shone brightly, making him look like a god under the moon, awe-inspiring and inviolable.
"At this moment, I am still immature and need to hide and lie dormant. One day, I will be able to sharpen my claws and fangs and lead the army to unify the continent. I will suppress all opponents with the force of thunder and lightning and achieve eternal fame! In this way, great things can be accomplished!"
"Huo Yuhao… Jing Hongchen… Kong Deming… Xu Tianran… Holy Spirit Church… Tianmeng Ice Silkworm Alex… The Two Ice and Snow Emperors… Baxia Bazu... Demon Emperor… There are so many characters worth noting and useful, and we need to plan carefully…"
The most important figures and forces of the time flashed through Xu Tianxi's mind. Like a calm chess player, he counted the relationships between these figures and forces one by one, and soon he vaguely found a way to success.
A path to reach the top of the continent, control supreme authority, and consolidate faith in the throne of God!
"All of this is to buy myself enough time to practice and develop. On Douluo Continent, practice is the only foundation. The fighting methods used by Master and Tyrant Ancestor in the previous battle are worth studying. Combining mental power and soul power, condensing them into a black tortoise phantom to enhance combat power, I can also try to deduce my own fighting opportunities..."
"The moon waxes and wanes, and takes on various forms. My martial soul has the power of the star martial soul, and I may be able to extend it, learn from the heaven and earth, and develop combat skills..."
Having made plans for the future in his mind, Xu Tianxi's mind suddenly became empty, his state of mind was as clear as a mirror or a clear lake, and he turned to thinking about how to practice.
The moon was released from the black curtain in the sky at some point, and it shone in harmony with the moon hanging behind the young man, with a few remaining lights falling on his brows, as if Xuannv was picking up a white brush and painting a masterpiece.
"The young master has also entered deep meditation? This is truly a great joy."
Old Yue, who was concentrating on rowing the boat, noticed the cold moonlight shining from the side, and turning his head to look, he saw Xu Tianxi sitting cross-legged in white clothes, with the moon hanging over his body and wisps of moon-like soul power lingering around him. His still young eyes and brows revealed a kind of high-spirited charm, which was shocking.
"A genius born from heaven should be like this..."
Old Yue took a deep breath and sighed with a dull look in his eyes. He had served in the army of the Sun-Moon Empire and had seen some of the Sun-Moon Empire's top talents. He had also heard some rumors about the Shrek monsters and was often amazed by them.
But now, a truly peerless genius has emerged. Looking across the four empires, how many people have the extraordinary talent and excellent understanding comparable to that of the young master?
None!
Not even one!
"The conceited Shrek killed my young lady, and the dean is still so arrogant. Just wait and see. When my young master grows up, he will definitely overthrow your high-handed first academy on the continent!"
…
Mingdu, Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.
After making a summary of the work in the new semester, the director of studies Lin Jiayi knocked on the door of the dean's office with the report materials and reported the good news to Dean Jing Hongchen with quick steps.
"Dean, good news! Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen have both shown extraordinary talent in the soul mentor technical assessment of the new school year and have created a variety of third-level core magic arrays!"
"From what I have seen, they have already passed the third-level soul instructor assessment, which has created an unprecedented record in the empire! They can be called the first genius in the empire in a thousand years!"
"Haha, you, the top master of the empire, won't give them special training during the holiday? They are still children, isn't it too hard for them?"
"Hahahaha, Director Lin, you're too kind. It's all because of the children's hard work."
Jing Hongchen put down the teacup with a smile, waved his hand and said:
"It's mainly because Xiao and Meng are ambitious and willing to study. When they get home, they pester me to teach them this and that. As a ninth-level soul mentor, I only played a small role."
"Hey, you are too modest. It's not like there haven't been descendants of ninth-level soul guide masters enrolled in school in the past, but there has never been such an outstanding genius like your Hongchen family!"
Lin Jiayi's face was excited, and he gave a thumbs up in a sincere and flattering manner: "I saw that they already had the third ring of cultivation when they entered school. They are only ten years old, right? In this way, doesn't it hope that they can cultivate to become soul kings before the age of fifteen? This can reach the level of our top students.
By the time the next All-Continent High-Level Soul Master Academy Competition is held by the Xing Luo Empire, the strength of these two reserve team members will probably not be weaker than some of the main players, and they will definitely shine!"
"Hahahaha… Well said, well said. The grandchildren of my Hongchen family are of course the world's top geniuses. In the future, they will definitely surpass their grandfather and lead the family to new glory…"
Jing Hongchen laughed heartily, and suddenly remembered something. He stared at Lin Jiayi and asked:
"By the way, you came to me this time. Is it because something was forced to be sold in the academy again? What do you want to approve?"
