Divine-level Base

After Shu Feng appeared on the Void Demon Hunting List, the top figures within Spiritualist circles all became aware of his existence. Naturally, quite a few people were studying him.

A sharp glint flashed in Fang Yao’s eyes. "Shu Feng, are you interested in becoming my disciple? If you do, I will do everything in my power to train you. All I need you to do is win first place for me in the upcoming National High School Spiritual Martial Arts Competition and help me give some bitch a good, hard slap in the face."

Shu Feng asked curiously, "Fang Yao, what’s your level?"

"Spirit Venerable!"

Fang Yao smiled arrogantly, a cold glint flashing in her beautiful eyes. A terrifying pressure of the Spirit Venerable Level emanated from her, instantly enveloping Shu Feng.

CRACK! CRACK!

Shu Feng’s body trembled slightly. Under Fang Yao’s terrifying Spiritual Pressure, his bones creaked under the strain.

"Master, please accept this disciple’s bow of respect!"

Shu Feng immediately dropped to his knees and bowed to Fang Yao, speaking with the utmost reverence.

Experts of the Spirit Venerable Realm were extremely rare in the Qianyuan Republic. Each one was a terrifying figure, holding a revered status comparable to the Celestial Sword Three Giants.

Every Spirit Saint in the Qianyuan Republic was notoriously elusive. Shu Feng had only been fortunate enough to meet Spirit Saint Ji Yuanshi once. The prospect of taking a Spirit Saint as a master was virtually impossible. Therefore, becoming a Spirit Venerable’s disciple was already his best option.

"Excellent, my dear disciple! You’re at the peak of the Spirit Master realm and on the verge of a breakthrough. You need the Dragon Transformation Spirit Pool! Come, I’ll take you to the pool at Shuijing High School so you can evolve!"

A flicker of excitement shone in Fang Yao’s eyes as she led Shu Feng toward the mountain behind Shuijing High School.

Two figures arrived before the mountain peak deep within Shuijing High School, home to the Dragon Transformation Spirit Pool. It was Fang Yao and Shu Feng.

"Rainbow Dragon Tree, get out here!"

The moment Fang Yao arrived at the mountain of the Dragon Transformation Spirit Pool, she raised an eyebrow. The terrifying pressure of the Spirit Venerable Realm surged from her like a tidal wave, crashing over the area where the Rainbow Dragon Tree resided.

"Fang Yao, my little ancestor, what is it you want now?"

A human face materialized on the trunk of the hundred-meter-tall Rainbow Dragon Tree, its expression one of resignation.

Fang Yao declared with utter imperiousness, "This is my disciple, Shu Feng, a Heaven-level Spirit Ability User! He’s about to advance to Great Spirit Master and needs to use the Dragon Transformation Spirit Pool. Take him to it! Now!"

The Rainbow Dragon Tree replied helplessly, "Fang Yao, my little ancestor, I can’t let anyone in without the headmaster’s Token! I just can’t!"

Fang Yao’s eyebrow shot up. She retorted with flagrant arrogance, "If you don’t let him in, I’ll hack you to pieces! We’ll see if the headmaster has the guts to come and reason with me then!"

The Rainbow Dragon Tree replied, its voice dripping with resignation, "Alright! Alright! I’ll let him in! But it’ll have to be on your slot! Is that acceptable?"

Fang Yao snapped, "That’s fine! Now go! Stop wasting my time!"

"*Sigh*, I give in!"

With a sigh, the Rainbow Dragon Tree extended a vine that coiled around Shu Feng and delivered him into the Dragon Transformation Spirit Pool.

’Having a master with a powerful backer really pays off!’

A small smile played on Shu Feng’s lips as he walked into the Dragon Transformation Spirit Pool.

Without Fang Yao, Shu Feng could have still used his remaining Blood of the Divine Spirit, his leftover Source Energy, and the Spiritual Power within his Spirit Stones to evolve and advance to the Great Spirit Master Realm.

But the Blood of the Divine Spirit and Source Energy were his most precious resources. Once they were used up, getting more would be incredibly difficult.

Back then, the encirclement and slaying of the God of Darkness had required the combined might of most of Blue Star’s Spirit Saints, along with the deployment of all Seven Great Holy Spears, to finally put him down. In a one-on-one confrontation, the God of Darkness would have been an absolutely invincible, terrifying force on Blue Star. There was very little Blood of the Divine Spirit left in the world.

Shu Feng strode into the Dragon Transformation Spirit Pool and activated the Sun and Moon Scripture. A great sun and a spirit moon materialized behind him. His body became a terrifying black hole, frantically devouring the Spiritual Power from the pool.

The Sun and Moon Scripture was truly an Unparalleled Secret Technique of the highest order. Nourished by the abundant Spiritual Power, the Foggy Spiritual Power inside Shu Feng’s body began to convert, bit by bit, into liquid Spiritual Power.

The moment all the Spiritual Power in Shu Feng’s body transformed into liquid, a black hole seemed to manifest in his very core, frantically devouring every last drop of the liquid Spiritual Power.

Within a few breaths, an even purer form of liquid Spiritual Power began to surge from his Spiritual Meridians, endlessly nourishing his body and soul.

The Curse Seals that had formed from his Skill Seeds materialized, furiously consuming the Spiritual Power from the Dragon Transformation Spirit Pool and causing the energy in the pool to rapidly deplete.

The layer of Spiritual Mist encircling the Spirit Mountain began to dissipate, inch by inch.

"That kid’s a monster! He’s going to suck the Spiritual Liquid in the Dragon Transformation Spirit Pool dry! What’s this little guy’s deal? How can he absorb so much? He’s draining it faster than a Spirit Sect!"

The Rainbow Dragon Tree glanced toward the Dragon Transformation Spirit Pool, its face a mask of misery. It stood guard here, and the Spiritual Power that seeped from the pool was its sustenance. It considered the pool its own personal treasure, and watching Shu Feng absorb so much of its wealth was physically painful.

A glimmer of pride shone in Fang Yao’s eyes. "Of course he is! My disciple is the Qianyuan Republic’s eighth Heaven-level Spirit Ability User!"

The Rainbow Dragon Tree’s face contorted in pain. "A Heaven-level Spirit Ability User! No wonder! This is a disaster, an absolute disaster! If I’d known, I never would have let him in! I’m ruined!"

「Seven days later.」

The Spiritual Liquid in the Dragon Transformation Spirit Pool had run dry, yet Shu Feng still hadn’t completed his evolution. His Epic Blood Contract and Epic Extraordinary Summoning Technique stubbornly refused to advance to the Legendary Level.

’Blood of the Divine Spirit!’

Gritting his teeth, Shu Feng swallowed a drop of the Blood of the Divine Spirit.

In an instant, a boundless and terrifying power filled Shu Feng’s body, surging madly into the Curse Seals for his Epic Blood Contract and Epic Extraordinary Summoning Technique.

Having absorbed the power from that single drop of the Blood of the Divine Spirit, Shu Feng’s two Hero Skills finally completed their evolution.

’I’ve finally advanced to Great Spirit Master!!’

Shu Feng’s eyes snapped open, and a stream of data flooded his vision.

"Power 198 (+30), Agility 181 (+30), Defense 285 (+30), Constitution 250 (+30), Intelligence 255 (+30), Spirit 280 (+30), Magic Power 1,500,000 (+500,000), Fighting Spirit 0, Badge Power 1,320,000."

"Charm 195 (+30), Spiritual Power 1,500,000 (+500,000), Soul Power 707 (+100)."

"Epic Extraordinary Swordsmanship. Skill Description: Epic-level swordsmanship talent."

"Epic Extraordinary Level King’s Authority. Skill Description: ...Range: 50,000 km diameter."

"Lower-legendary Extraordinary Blood Contract. Skill Description: ... Can resist damage from Legendary-level Curse Chain Spells and Secret Techniques."

"Lower-legendary Extraordinary Summoning Technique. Skill Description: ... Resists Lower-Legendary-level interference Summoning Spells."

Shu Feng stared at his status panel, a fiery glint in his eyes. ’With my current strength, I could probably take on a few of the weaker Spirit Sects!’
