After the test, Mo Yu didn't immediately retreat to seek a breakthrough.
His cultivation became more steady and calm. Every day, he spent two hours cultivating Dou Qi, then headed to the back mountain to rigorously train his Thunder Body. Whenever he had free time, he would chat with his only relative, his grandfather.
Five days passed in this relaxed manner, and Mo Yu finally adjusted himself to his peak state. Although with his abundant experience from his past life, breaking through to the Dou Zhe level was hardly worth mentioning, Mo Yu was always careful and meticulous, ensuring that nothing was left to chance.
Now, it was the perfect moment to make his breakthrough to Dou Zhe.
...
In the back mountain of Wu Tan City, under a concealed cliff, Mo Yu sat cross-legged in a narrow cave barely two meters wide. This cave had been carefully selected as his training spot. It was remote, rarely visited by humans or animals, ensuring the utmost secrecy.
Taking a deep breath, Mo Yu took out his Na Ring. His soul power reached into it, retrieving two Tier 2 Magic Cores that appeared in his hands.
Gazing at the Tier 2 Magic Cores, which contained far more violent heavenly energy than a Tier 1 MagicCore, Mo Yu smiled faintly. Then, with a flick of his left hand, a small red lightning snake emerged, its crackling electrical sound echoing throughout the cave.
"After three months of stabilization, it's time to break through to Dou Zhe."
The foundation of his body was incredibly weak. After transmigrating to the Dou Qi Continent for a year, Mo Yu had swiftly reached the 9th stage of Dou Zhi Qi. An increase of five stages in a year was even more astonishing than Xiao Yan's four stages in one year.
Because of this, Mo Yu deliberately suppressed his breakthrough. If his foundation was unstable, it would cause irreparable damage in the future.
After three months of honing, Mo Yu was now fully prepared.
The Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder was summoned, and Mo Yu's face grew serious as he tossed in the fire-type and lightning-type Tier 2 Magic Cores.
With the addition of the two Magic Cores, the crimson lightning began to churn violently, and the crackling of electricity resounded continuously throughout the cave. Fortunately, the place was secluded; otherwise, it would surely attract some curious onlookers.
As the crimson lightning devoured the Magic Cores, their hard outer shells began to dissolve. At the same time, an immense, violent amount of heavenly energy gushed out from them.
"No wonder it's a Tier 2 Magic Core. The energy it contains is probably more than ten times that of a Tier 1."
Seeing the massive surge of heavenly energy from the Magic Core, Mo Yu couldn't help but be surprised at both the energy's ferocity and its quantity.
On the entire Dou Qi Continent, only someone like him, at the Dou Zhi Qi stage, could absorb the energy from a Tier 2 Magic Core.
Unknowingly, an entire day and night had passed.
Under the continuous devouring and absorption by the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder, the Magic Cores, originally the size of a fist, had now shrunk to the size of a small egg.
At this point, the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder had transformed into a true flame of lightning, both scorching and violent.
In this slow yet silent wait, another day and night passed.
Once the last trace of violent energy from the Magic Core was absorbed by the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder, the outer shell of the core completely disintegrated, vanishing into nothingness. All that remained was a crimson thunderbolt, roiling and tumbling in mid-air.
The Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder no longer appeared illusory, but had the substantial appearance of a real thunderous flame.
In terms of momentum, it was even stronger than those thunderbolts conjured by dense Dou Qi!
The growth of Thunder Soul progresses through four stages: infancy, growth, maturity, and peak. If the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder had only been an embryonic form before, now it had truly entered its infancy, beginning to reveal the sharp edge of Thunder Soul!
Mo Yu was now confident that, with the help of the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder, even though he hadn't broken through to Dou Zhe yet, he could easily defeat some low-level Dou Zhe.
After spending two days devouring the two Magic Cores, it was now time to break through to Dou Zhe!
Staring at the Thunder Soul that had made significant progress in the air, a burning passion appeared in Mo Yu's eyes.
With a single wave of his hand, the Thunder Soul, as if summoned by some force, flew directly into Mo Yu's body.
As soon as the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder entered his body, an intense, scorching, and numbing sensation spread throughout, followed by a surge of violent and pure energy crashing into his body. Mo Yu's body trembled violently.
Keeping his face calm, Mo Yu quickly formed hand seals for absorbing Dou Qi. His breathing became steady, and the faint Dou Qi within his body surged and swiftly intertwined with the powerful energy, beginning a frenzy of refinement.
Within the small cave, the previously still air suddenly began to ripple. Strands of white Dou Qi seeped from the air and continuously flowed into Mo Yu's body.
Inside, the Dou Qi enveloped the massive, violent energy, refining it relentlessly. Crimson energy was steadily being converted into white Dou Qi, and with this reinforcement, Mo Yu's Dou Qi was expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even though the violent energy was being refined, it seemed inexhaustible. Every time a portion of Thunder Soul energy was refined, an even larger surge of crimson energy followed.
The refining continued until the energy's follow-up began to weaken. By then, Mo Yu's Dou Qi had swollen to a point where it could expand no more.
"Condense the Dou Qi cyclone!"
Taking a deep breath, Mo Yu's hand seals shifted abruptly. His index and thumb interlocked, while his middle fingers touched, forming an unusual hand seal.
With the experience of his past life, Mo Yu was familiar with breaking through realms. This time, he performed it smoothly, with no trace of awkwardness.
As Mo Yu's hand seals changed, the vast Dou Qi in his body, as if pulled by a strong force, rapidly contracted towards his lower abdomen.
The faint white Dou Qi in his body's meridians began to withdraw simultaneously. When all of the Dou Qi gathered in his lower abdomen, it turned from a pale white to a milky white hue.
Although the resistance wasn't weak, Mo Yu's current soul perception, while greatly diminished, still surpassed that of most Da Dou Shi. The Dou Qi's resistance was futile; after a brief stalemate, it began to shrink rapidly.
When the Dou Qi condensed to the size of a palm, it solidified once more.
At that moment, with his eyes closed, Mo Yu unleashed his soul perception to its fullest. He then compressed the milky-white Dou Qi with full force.
"Boom!"
A soft, muffled sound echoed quietly within his body.
As it did, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Mo Yu's lips.
"Breakthrough, Dou Zhe!"
