Chapter 106 Preparing for a Breakthrough
The next day, early morning.
Xiao Bai, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint in them.
"My soul power has finally been fully restored!"
Since helping Medusa through her tribulation, which left his soul depleted, it has only now been a while since the soul power in his sea of consciousness has recovered. Once this thing is used up all at once, it takes far too long to recover!
After briefly sensing his internal organs, Xiao Bai's expression suddenly changed, becoming rather unpleasant.
He cultivated for several days in the charred crater where Medusa underwent her tribulation. The abundant lightning-attribute energy within allowed him to reach the peak of the Nine-Star Great Dou Master in one fell swoop.
He had originally planned to continue his breakthrough to the Dou Ling realm in one go, but after tempering his body with the Wu Tu Ming Lei, his physique was strong and he didn't need much further training.
But just as he was about to do so, his spiritual sense twitched, giving him a sense of crisis. After much deliberation, he followed his intuition and gave up on the breakthrough.
At the time, he thought it was because of an empty soul that he had that feeling.
But now it seems that's not the case!
He was calm and composed at that moment, certain that he was in excellent condition and felt no discomfort whatsoever.
But the sense of crisis did not disappear; on the contrary, it became even stronger as the soul recovered.
"Is it because of the next lightning seed?" Xiao Bai frowned and murmured.
He already possesses wood, fire, and earth in the Five Elements, but lacks metal and water. However, it is the metal element and thunder that he is most wary of, so logically he shouldn't feel this sense of crisis.
After all, he now has three lightning seeds in his body, and what's more, the little Bing among them is the most restraining of the metal element.
As for the crisis caused by external factors, Xiao Bai had already eliminated it after returning to Wutan City.
Neither a calamity of heaven and earth nor a calamity of humanity should occur.
If it were a calamity of heaven and earth, even a Dou Sheng breaking through to Dou Di wouldn't be targeted at a mere Da Dou Shi breaking through to Dou Ling.
If we're talking about a human calamity, it's impossible to encounter one in the Snake-People tribe. You'd probably encounter one again after returning to Wutan City, right?
He doesn't currently have any powerful enemies with whom he has a life-or-death struggle, and besides, the Xiao family has Xun'er here.
Unable to figure it out, Xiao Bai stopped thinking about it. He had already waited for more than ten days and didn't want to wait any longer. He would find a place to break through today.
It's impossible to remain stuck at the level of a Nine-Star Great Dou Master just because of this slight sense of crisis. If this sense of crisis never disappears, wouldn't one be stuck at this level forever?
Cultivation is never smooth sailing. When there is a crisis, you should resolve it. How can you back down in the face of battle?
After getting out of bed and washing up, Xiao Bai stood at the entrance of the courtyard, looking in a certain direction with a hint of melancholy in his eyes. After a moment of distraction, he shook his head.
Never mind, I'll go find that little girl after I break through!
He touched the small teeth mark on his neck, sighed softly, and turned to leave.
Xun'er's Courtyard.
At this moment, two figures stood in the courtyard, one in black and one in green.
"Is Miss starting to prepare?" Ling Ying looked at the closed door with a delighted expression and asked softly.
"Yes, Master Ling, Miss instructed us to make preparations after she returned last night, as she is about to break through!" Qing Shuang replied respectfully.
The young lady possesses a divine bloodline that appears only once in a thousand years, and was given the inherited flame by her clan in her childhood—the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame.
This strange fire has existed among the ancient clans for countless years and is closely related to their bloodline. It is said that those with exceptional bloodline talents among the ancient clans will resonate with this strange fire.
Once this happens, as long as a flame is implanted in the child during childhood, it will grow with the person and gradually purify the imperial bloodline in the body, making the bloodline purer and closer to the bloodline of the Dou Di, thus making the cultivation talent stronger.
However, although this method has endless benefits later on, during the battle stage, one must suffer the pain of being burned by the strange fire, and the cultivation cannot be too fast; one can only gradually integrate with the strange fire within the body.
This process of adjustment is painful at every stage of the Fighting Power, especially the final one, when the pain will reach its peak when breaking through to the Fighting Warrior level.
The clan chief had been prepared for the young lady's breakthrough, but some arrangements were needed, and the necessary materials had already been delivered.
But the young lady was thinking about Xiao Bai and said she would wait for him to come back, which is why she kept putting it off.
Qing Shuang knew that in the previous times, the young lady had that person by her side every time she broke through, and she thought it would be the same this time.
But last night she asked a question out of curiosity, and the young lady gave her a faint look and said that she didn't intend for that person to know this time, and specifically instructed her not to tell him.
"Around when does it start?" Ling Ying asked seriously. This time was very important, and he couldn't slack off like before. He needed to be prepared so that the young lady wouldn't be disturbed and suffer even more.
"Ten days, I suppose! That's what the young lady said!"
"good!"
Inside the room, Xiao Xun'er sat at the table, her chin resting on her hand, staring blankly at a blue bracelet on her fair wrist, a gift from Xiao Bai.
She was still angry about last night, so she bit him hard on the neck until she tasted blood before letting go. Then she said again that she didn't want to see him for ten days.
Seeing him silently enduring and speechless, I couldn't help but feel a little heartache and a little resentment.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, which requires some time to achieve a breakthrough, she wanted to show her attitude and teach him a small lesson so that he wouldn't be so reckless in the future.
She's only been gone for less than a year, and she's already got two. If this continues, who knows how many more will happen after she leaves!
"Brother Xiao Bai, don't blame Xun'er for being heartless. If I don't teach you a lesson, who knows how many more women will come to visit in the future? Xun'er doesn't want the house to become so crowded that there's no room to even step out!"
Thinking of that heartless and despicable villain, a hint of concern flashed in Xun'er's beautiful eyes. She wondered if the wound on his neck was getting any better.
Xiao Bai left the Xiao family and arrived at a desolate mountain more than a hundred miles away from Wutan City.
Xiao Bai had just observed this desolate mountain area from the air. There was hardly anyone around, only a small path overgrown with weeds, which looked like no one had walked on it for a long time.
A place where no one can disturb you is the perfect place to make a breakthrough.
Having learned his lesson from the previous experience with the Earthly Thunder, he did not want to attempt a breakthrough in the back mountain of the Xiao family this time.
Since breaking through in the desert, he has summarized the performance of these lightning bolts. Each one is stronger than the last, but the intensity of the aura between the lightning bolts is not much different.
This puzzled Xiao Bai. The difference in aura between the Thunder Seeds was not significant, so why did their performances after birth vary so drastically?
From Xiao Yi to Xiao Bing, and then to Xiao Wu, the scope of influence increases with each subsequent level.
Xiao Yi only affects his body, Xiao Bing begins to affect him within a few feet, and Xiao Wu, needless to say, affects him directly within several kilometers, although there are some environmental factors involved.
As his cultivation level increased, the power displayed when the Thunder Seed was born grew stronger and stronger, leading Xiao Bai to speculate:
When his cultivation was still weak, was most of the Thunder Seed's power sealed by the talisman when it was born? That's why it exhibited such different behaviors; otherwise, it wouldn't make sense.
The reason why I didn't dare to break through to the back mountain of the Xiao family this time, but instead ran so far out of the city, is this.
He feared that if, like with Xiao Wu last time, the lightning could spread for thousands of meters around, or even have a wider impact, the Xiao family wouldn't need the Soul Palace to make a move; his lightning would wipe them out completely.
