Crack!
Qin Tian felt a certain lock in his body snap, followed by a crisp sound, and a huge amount of soul power surged into his Azure Brick Martial Soul. He had succeeded and officially entered the Spirit Master realm.
Whoosh!
A massive amount of soul power poured into Qin Tian Martial Soul, the cyan brick, transforming into a mist of golden clouds.
At the same time, a yellow soul ring appeared around him, faintly glowing with a golden light, a very strange sight.
Seeing this, Leighton secretly sighed in relief—he had succeeded.
Earlier, he had been frantic. Upon arriving, he saw Qin Tian absorbing the soul ring, and it turned out to be from a Thunder Bear that had lived for around seven or eight hundred years.
Thinking about it, it made sense. The other one had been killed by a passing expert, so Qin Tian could only absorb this soul ring from the unlucky Thunder Bear that had been struck dead by a single blow.
This kid was crazy. If it hadn't been for the fact that he couldn't stop him, Leighton would have intervened to stop him from absorbing the soul ring.
However, given this kid's extraordinary physical condition and the scene where he had knocked out a soul beast comparable to a Spirit Grand Master with a single punch, Leighton had to admit—this kid was a freak, truly gifted.
Leighton suddenly became excited. He had struck gold by taking this kid as his disciple. In the future, he might even have a Spirit Ancestor, or even a Spirit Saint disciple!
Heh!
Indeed, having a simple-minded and robust teacher meant fewer explanations and less trouble.
It seemed that Leighton hadn't considered that Qin Tian had absorbed the soul ring from an 800-year-old soul beast. Even regular Spirit Grand Masters could only manage such a feat at their peak. Wouldn't this risk Qin Tian life?
Leighton also didn't mind who the expert was that killed the 400-year-old soul beast, as he seemed to just accept Qin Tian explanation.
So easy to deceive!
At the same time, Qin Tian felt a faint soul power flow through his body, spreading into his limbs, organs, and bones, warming him completely.
This was also why Spirit Masters' physical bodies gradually grew stronger during their cultivation process.
Soul power not only strengthened the Martial Soul but also replenished the body.
However, the amount of soul power flowing into Qin Tian body was much more than that of a typical Spirit Master's breakthrough, at least twenty times more.
In reality, his soul ring came from a Thunder Bear that surpassed 800 years, approaching 900 years old.
If Qin Tian hadn't struck one of the Thunder Bear's rare weak spots, it wouldn't have been so easy to kill it.
At the same time, Qin Tian heard the chanting sound again. The chant made his mind clear and pushed him into a deep meditative state.
Leighton was astonished but also thrilled. This was the most outstanding disciple he had ever encountered in his thirteen years of teaching.
In his youth, Leighton had traveled for over a decade and met some talented students. But Qin Tian talent was just as exceptional as those who had innate full soul power.
Leighton couldn't help but think of the master again. He was truly a good brother, willing to introduce such a promising student to him.
What Leighton didn't know was that the master had already regretted his decision. If it hadn't been for face-saving, and since Qin Tian had already become Leighton's disciple, he would have found a way to take him back.
The master had developed a curiosity about Qin Tian mutated Azure Brick Martial Soul.
They were in the outskirts, and the appearance of the 900-year-old Thunder Bear was an unexpected surprise. The surrounding soul beasts, upon smelling its urine, dared not approach.
For soul beasts, territoriality was very strong, which prevented any further attacks from other beasts.
Half a day later, Qin Tian finally finished his meditation and had now become a Level 12 Spirit Master.
With so much soul power, he should have become even stronger, but most of it seemed to have dissipated, which resulted in his breakthrough being less apparent.
Meanwhile, Qin Tian was surprised to discover that he had gained two skills.
Yes, two skills. Usually, when someone absorbs a soul ring, they only acquire one skill, but Qin Tian had received two.
One skill was the Thunder Bear's famous Stunning Fist, which could stun an opponent upon impact.
The other skill was Shockwave Fist, which, when the Thunder Bear's power grew beyond 5000 years, could directly kill an opponent with a single punch.
Normally, these two skills would evolve into Stunning and Shockwave abilities when applied to Qin Tian brick Martial Soul.
But Qin Tian felt a strange sensation. Not only could he use them as brick abilities, but if he wanted, he could master these two punches as if they were innate to him. It was as if he were the Thunder Bear itself.
Of course, this wasn't as easy as it sounded. The Thunder Bear's abilities had strict requirements for the strength of the body.
Currently, his body was decent but not as strong as a 400-year-old Thunder Bear.
At best, it was comparable to a 100-year-old Thunder Bear's physique.
It sounded unbelievable, but this was the reality. Growing up hearing the chanting sounds, Qin Tian body had naturally become stronger.
Perhaps this was the reason Tang San cultivation speed improved so much when he was near Qin Tian, thanks to the "favorable" environment.
Qin Tian didn't know if this ability meant that for every soul beast he killed, he could strip away its abilities. It didn't seem as direct as soul bones, where the power could immediately erupt.
But it did fit Qin Tian situation. Each year, he seemed to grow like a Thunder Bear would over ten years.
And now that he had a soul ring, his body would continue to grow stronger.
This breakthrough had directly boosted his strength by 1000 pounds.
This meant that his humanoid soul beast status would soon be fully realized.
"Heh heh!"
With that thought, Qin Tian couldn't help but laugh.
He had lived two lives, but he was still only 21 years old.
In his past life, he was a 15-year-old middle school student. This life, he had spent the first six years muddling through like an idiot.
It felt like he had just discovered his own transformation device, as if he were a superhero like Ultraman.
Since crossing over, Qin Tian had always hoped for a system, like the one every reincarnator was supposed to get.
However, over time, Qin Tian realized that he was probably the one reincarnator without a system—left behind by fate.
Even after awakening the Cyan Bronze Coffin Martial Soul, Qin Tian still felt uneasy.
Until this moment, when he felt that his hardships were finally over, and his fortune was about to change.
No more porridge in his future. Thinking about those six years of eating only porridge, Qin Tian stomach growled loudly.
"Foolish kid, what are you laughing about? You broke through, so get up quickly and tell your teacher what skills you've gained."
Leighton, in a good mood, heard Qin Tian laughter and felt happy as well. As someone who had been through breakthroughs himself, he knew that feeling of joy.
Plus, Qin Tian was only six years old. If he wasn't happy, that would be strange.
"Teacher, I got the Stunning skill from the Thunder Bear," Qin Tian said, his face reddening as he stopped laughing.
"Stunning? Ha ha, not bad. The Stunning skill is much more useful than the Shockwave," Leighton laughed out loud, even more pleased.
"Now, try it out. Use it on the Lip-charming Ape."
Leighton said eagerly.
