Starting from the young master of Haotian Sect.

Chapter 401 I've Gained X-ray Vision

Reaching level 70 at the age of 18 is an absolutely phenomenal speed of cultivation. Although there is no record of the age at which the fastest Soul Master in Douluo Continent reached level 70, among the people Tang San knows, reaching level 70 at 18 is already the fastest.

Even though Qian Renxue started at level 20 and possessed the Nine Trials of the Six-Winged Angel God, she only reached level 70 when she was 23 or 24 years old. Tang Hao, on the other hand, was in his mid-twenties when he reached level 70.

At only 18 years old, Tang San's speed is enough to prove how fast he cultivates and how many opportunities he has encountered.

"Level 70 Soul Saint, but after the Soul Saint who cultivates slowly, level 70 is considered a watershed for genius Soul Masters." Tang San was not in a hurry, after all, as the young sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, he had heard too many examples of geniuses falling.

No matter how fast one cultivates at the beginning, how high one's talent is, or how many opportunities one has, one may remain at the level of Soul Saint or Soul Douluo forever, and never be able to reach the Title Douluo level in one's lifetime. After all, a person's lifespan is limited, and one cannot increase one's lifespan without reaching the Title Douluo level.

Many Soul Masters cultivate quickly in the early stages, but end up never breaking through to the Title Douluo level before they die.

Don't be fooled by Tang San's rapid cultivation. A person's youth will pass quickly too. Once they reach old age, it's no longer possible to increase their soul power through hard work. When bodily functions decline, even if they cultivate, the increase in soul power will slow down considerably.

It can't be repaired.

Several elders of the Haotian Sect are the best examples; they are basically unable to increase their soul power by even one level in their lifetime.

Tang San slowly stood up and looked at the Nine-Headed Bat King's external soul bone wings behind him. One bone spur could generate a thin membrane of soul power, and eight bone spurs would have eight thin membranes of bone wings.

"Although it doesn't look as good as Qian Renxue's six angel wings, it should be considered eight wings, so its flight speed shouldn't be slower than hers." Tang San moved his wings and was able to float in the air. Even if he got into a fight with Qian Renxue and was chased by her, he could still escape even if he couldn't beat her.

"As expected of a 100,000-year-old external soul bone, in addition to the passive attribute of flight ability, it also has two soul bone skills."

[Soul Bone: Nine-Headed Bat King External Soul Bone Wings (200000 years)]

Tang San glanced at it and nodded secretly. The 200,000-year spirit ring and spirit bone were just right. If the Nine-Headed Bat King were any stronger, he would have to find a way to increase the age of his next spirit ring.

"Now I have three 100,000-year-level spirit rings, including the ghost ring of the Rakshasa Martial Soul. After the Divine Light Body Tempering and the enhancement of spiritual power, I should be able to add another 100,000-year-level spirit ring to break through to Soul Saint." When Tang San absorbed the Nine-Headed Bat King spirit ring, he did not feel his body and soul exceeding the age limit of the spirit ring. In addition, the external spirit bone bone wings enhanced his physique. According to Tang San's estimation, he could add another 100,000-year-level spirit ring.

However, what's causing him trouble now isn't just the ability of the spirit rings to withstand the damage, but also where to find spirit beasts.

A Soul Master's life revolves around cultivation and finding suitable Soul Beasts.

"The Clear Sky Hammer has six spirit rings, and the Rakshasa Martial Soul has four. That means a Title Douluo would need eight spirit rings. Are there eight 100,000-year-old spirit beasts in the Douluo Continent???" Tang San couldn't help but scratch his head. This twin martial soul was too exaggerated. If the rule that each spirit ring is stronger than the last really applies...

Tang San's next spirit ring requires a spirit beast with over 8 years of cultivation, and he needs eight such spirit beasts! My god! Are there really that many powerful spirit beasts in Douluo Continent?!
Tang San's initial estimate was that a second spirit that was entirely black for ten thousand years would be enough, but now it's gradually moving towards being entirely red!

"No, it's not always necessary to obtain soul rings from soul beasts. For example, the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent or the inner core of ancient beasts can be transformed into soul rings. Unlike soul rings, inner cores can be preserved. It's also possible to obtain inner cores from the corpses of ancient beasts in some ancient ruins."

"Moreover, there is the method of divinely bestowed soul rings. Divinely bestowed soul rings are transformed into soul rings through divine power. It is not only a reward from the divine test, but also a way to transform soul rings as long as you can find divine power."

Tang San is no longer an ordinary Soul Master or a naive young man. He calculated and found that there are three ways to obtain Soul Rings. Besides the most common method of hunting Soul Beasts, there are two other feasible methods.

Moreover, this is only the method of obtaining spirit rings that he knows; there may be others he doesn't know.

"However, the most common method is still hunting soul beasts, and it's time to gather intelligence now." Tang San looked at the fifth divine test light screen, the so-called omniscient clairvoyance reward that determined where Tang San would go next.

Standing before the fifth divine test light screen, Tang San placed his palm on the screen, and at this moment, strange divine runes moved across his palm.

These gray divine patterns flowed into Tang San's Rakshasa Divine Eye like water. After a while, ancient runes appeared on the huge Ghost Tower. These ancient runes were mysterious and incomparable, flexible and lifelike, and released a faint gray light.

Subsequently, Tang San's Rakshasa Divine Eye vision changed, connecting with the Ghost Tower. The runes on the tower formed an invisible divine light that shot into the sky, and these runes formed a huge eye projection outside the heavens.

The projection of this eye resembles a celestial compass, like a divine skill used to monitor the mortal realm.

"Is this a method used by the gods of the divine realm to monitor the lower realms?" Tang San had seen something similar before. Wasn't the Flower Goddess of the Acacia Heartbreak Red able to use it as an anchor point to determine the Douluo Continent, and then observe what was happening on the Douluo Continent through some special means?

And it is quite obvious that this ghost tower was the very thing that the Rakshasa God used to observe the world.

Soon, in Tang San's Rakshasa Divine Eye vision, he appeared like a god, standing high above the heavens looking down at the world below. In Tang San's vision, Douluo Continent was not a flat land but a planet.

"Is this the complete view of Douluo Continent? It's not a landmass but a sphere?" Of course, Tang San didn't delve into these geographical details; he only wanted to find a suitable soul beast for himself.

As Tang San's thoughts stirred, he saw several red pillars of light appear on the Douluo Continent. These pillars varied in strength, and four of them, while red, were the smallest and lightest in color. Three of them were in the Star Dou Great Forest, while the fourth was not.

"These three pillars in the Star Dou Great Forest should be Da Ming, Er Ming, and Xiao Wu's mother, and the other one outside should be Xiao Wu." Tang San understood when he saw the four weakest pillars of light. These were soul beasts that were a little over 100,000 years old, so the red pillars of light were the thinnest.

"The Star Dou Great Forest is indeed a place where hidden talents reside. There are so many powerful 100,000-year-old soul beasts." Tang San looked at the Star Dou Great Forest. In addition to the three weak ones, there were several red pillars of light. These pillars of light were much stronger than Da Ming and Er Ming. They were at least 200,000 or even 300,000 years old.
