Douluo Dalu: Tiger Roars in the Universe

Chapter 40: Indestructible and Level
It was not until late at night that the crackling sound of Dai Yaochen's bones slowly stopped. His swollen torso and limbs gradually returned to normal. The layer of white hair on his body looked somewhat crystal-like under the light of the fire.

"Is it okay?" Although it was already late, Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing did not go to bed but waited here. Seeing that Dai Yaochen's movement stopped, Dugu Yan asked subconsciously.

In response to Dugu Yan's question, Yang Wudi just nodded to show his certainty.

At the moment when Yang Wudi nodded, a tiger roar that resounded through the sky suddenly sounded, with a force that seemed to swallow up mountains and rivers, frightening countless wild beasts in this ordinary forest and making them tremble in fear.

"Why are you yelling so late at night?" Although she complained like this, a smile appeared on Dugu Yan's lips.

Not long after, the tiger's roar slowly stopped, and the layer of crystal white hair covering Dai Yaochen's body also retracted. At the same time, his eyes opened again.

"How do you feel?" As a master of drug research, Yang Wudi immediately asked Dai Yaochen about his current feelings.

"Feeling?" Dai Yaochen tilted his neck and shrugged, and there was another crackling sound of bones on his body. "I just feel that my whole body is full of strength. Even if I don't use my martial spirit and soul power, I can kill a cow with one punch, and it's a rhino with thick skin and flesh."

Kill a thick-skinned rhino with one punch?
Yang Wudi's expression became a little strange. Why did he feel that Dai Yaochen was implying something about the Yu clan?
Well, this was purely Yang Wudi's overthinking. Dai Yaochen was just saying it casually and was not targeting anyone.

"The effect of the Qirong Tongtianju is that it is indestructible. Compared with strength, the improvement in defense is the greatest. Since you feel that your strength has increased so much, then the improvement in defense must be even greater." As he said this, Yang Wudi grinned, "How about it? Do you want to try your current defense limit?"

"Defense test?" Dai Yaochen also wanted to know how powerful this so-called Vajra Indestructibility was, so he agreed to Yang Wudi's proposal without hesitation, "Okay, Patriarch Yang, come on."

"Be careful." Seeing Dai Yaochen agreed, Yang Wudi was not vague. After giving a reminder, he directly extended his right index finger.

Although it was just a finger, but at this moment, wrapped in a sharp energy, it actually gave Dai Yaochen the feeling of facing a Soul-Breaking Spear.

However, Dai Yaochen was not afraid at all. His intuition told him that he would not be hurt by this.

As expected, when Yang Wudi's finger pointed at Dai Yaochen, it only left a faint white mark, without even a wound, and Dai Yaochen just felt a little itchy.

"Interesting." Yang Wudi said with interest, "Even a three-ring disciple of the Yu clan would be scratched by my finger without using his martial spirit. It seems that your defense is a little stronger than that of the Yu clan disciples of the same level."

"But this is normal. After all, it is a magical herb that can make people indestructible." After praising it, Yang Wudi continued, "Next, I will increase my efforts!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sharp energy condensed on the index finger of Yang Wudi's right hand suddenly increased by about 30%. Dai Yaochen suddenly felt a sharp pain and saw his skin being cut by this energy.

Seeing this, Dai Yaochen let out a low shout and activated his soul power. The White Tiger Martial Spirit instantly possessed his body. His muscles suddenly swelled and tensed, blocking Yang Wudi's finger again. Moreover, the skin that had just been scratched by Yang Wudi healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye it returned to normal, as if it had never been injured before.

"Can it also speed up recovery from injuries?" Yang Wudi's eyes lit up, and he dispersed the sharp energy lingering on his index finger. "I didn't discover this when I was researching the Qirong Tongtianju. It seems I have to write it down."

Seeing Yang Wudi dissipate the energy from his fingertips, Dai Yaochen knew that the test was over, so he also exited the state of being possessed by the martial spirit.

According to Yang Wudi, his defense is now stronger than that of the same-level disciples of the Yu clan, and his strength has also increased a lot. He also gained the ability to accelerate recovery from injuries. It can be said that this strange chrysanthemum has indeed brought him a great improvement.

The Xingluo Spirit Pearl allowed him to regain the attribute of light, the Wangchuanqiushui Dew greatly enhanced his mental strength, and the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum made his body indestructible. In a sense, Dai Yaochen's current state is very perfect, without any shortcomings.

"By the way, has your soul power increased this time?"

After excitedly writing down the fact that "the strange chrysanthemum can speed up recovery from injuries", Yang Wudi suddenly remembered this and asked this.

"I've improved." Dai Yaochen nodded with a smile on his face. "I've improved by five levels this time, just breaking through the bottleneck of level 40."

Previously, the medicinal power of the Xingluo Lingzhu should have been used to help Dai Yaochen activate the light attribute and improve his cultivation aptitude, so his soul power did not increase at that time. This time, the medicinal power of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum obviously had some left after helping him strengthen his body, so it was added to his soul power.

Dai Yaochen reached the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire when he was at level 32, and stayed there for half a year. It took him only half a year to improve his soul power by three levels, reaching level 35. Now, by taking the Qirong Tongtianju, he has improved his soul power by five levels in one fell swoop, breaking through the bottleneck of level 40 and can now attach a fourth soul ring.

"Already level 40?" Yang Wudi was a little surprised. "Are you fifteen years old now?"

"Not yet." Dai Yaochen said, "My fifteenth birthday is still half a month away."

In other words, Dai Yaochen is still strictly speaking fourteen years old. If he cultivates to level 40 at this age, and obtains a soul ring within half a month and advances to the Soul Sect stage, he will be able to break the fastest cultivation speed of the Spirit Hall's golden generation.

“In that case, let’s speed up our journey.” Yang Wudi said, “We will pass through the Xingdou Great Forest on our way south to the Xingluo Empire. We will go in and help you find a suitable spirit ring, and strive to make you an official four-ring spirit master before you are fifteen!”

Hu Liena of the Spirit Hall became a four-ring Soul Master at the age of fifteen. Although this happened not long ago, it caused quite a stir because it set the fastest cultivation record on the continent (on the surface). Yang Wudi had also heard of this, and he hated the Spirit Hall deeply, so he naturally hoped that Dai Yaochen could break this record.

The protagonist does not have twin martial souls, so he cannot quickly upgrade by adding soul rings to the second martial soul in the later stage. After level 70 or even level 90, the protagonist's cultivation speed will slow down, so let him speed up in the early stage.
