Douluo Continent, My Talents from Three Worlds Complement Each Other

Chapter 118 Gold Rank, Soul Hunter in the Star Dou Great Forest

"Thump!"

A deep, muffled heartbeat came from my chest.

The sound was not loud, but it created visible ripples in the seawater.

The ripples spread out from Jiang Yi as the center, and wherever they passed, the floating carcass of the orca trembled slightly, the blood was pushed aside, and a brief vacuum appeared.

Jiang Yi felt his heart; it was beating, and not just a simple beating.

Instead, it throbbed violently like a drumbeat, each contraction and expansion carrying astonishing power, making the skin on the chest tremble.

"Thump—thump—"

'

Second tone, third tone.

My heart was beating faster and faster, louder and louder, and even the seawater began to tremble.

At first, it was just a slight ripple, but as my heart raced, the ripple turned into a wave, and the wave turned into a giant wave.

The seawater within a radius of a hundred feet oscillated violently around Jiang Yi, in sync with his heartbeat.

The floating carcasses of orcas rose and fell with the undercurrent, as if they were worshipping something.

Mu Ye, who was trying to drive away the spirit beasts nearby, witnessed a strange scene.

Those soul beasts that had been drawn by the smell of blood were all frozen in place by the violent pounding of the heart.

They heard the sound, and thunderous heartbeats pierced their bodies, their blood vessels, and struck their hearts.

Let their hearts beat in sync with Jiang Yi's rhythm.

A steelback fish with ten years of cultivation suddenly had bloodshot eyes, its blood vessels under its scales bulging, and its body trembling uncontrollably.

It wanted to escape, but its limbs were completely unresponsive, and it could only follow the heartbeat and feel the frantic surge of blood and qi within its body.

There was also a ghost-faced octopus with a hundred years of cultivation, its eight tentacles twitching wildly, its originally grayish-brown body turning bright red.

That's blood rushing through the body at such a high speed that it's close to collapse.

Other levels of soul beasts also exhibited various abnormalities in their bodies; such rapid heartbeats were not something anyone could withstand.

Mu Ye's eyes widened in disbelief. He hadn't expected Jiang Yi's original martial soul to awaken for the second time and display such terrifying power.

Hearing that rapid, thunderous heartbeat, Makino felt his own heart race a little faster.

He quickly calmed his heart and brought it back to a normal beating rate.

"That's amazing. Even I was affected to some extent." Makino was filled with disbelief.

The thunderous heartbeat caused the deaths of a large number of marine creatures in this area.

Even those spirit beasts couldn't withstand it, let alone ordinary animals.

Seeing such a terrifying scene, the other soul beasts, seeking to avoid harm and seek advantage, all fled in terror.

Jiang Yi, the source of all this, still lies peacefully on the sea.

His eyes were tightly closed, and his brows were furrowed. The clothes at his chest had been ripped apart, revealing his bare chest.

Beneath the skin there, the shape of the heart can be clearly seen, the heart expanding and contracting violently, pumping cyan-gold blood throughout the body with each beat.

The next moment, a cyan-gold light burst forth from his heart.

It was a life force so pure it was almost tangible.

The light surged forth like a tide, first illuminating his chest, and then spreading throughout his entire body.

Neck, shoulders, arms, waist, abdomen, legs.

Under every inch of his skin, bluish-gold veins emerged, and light flowed through each vein, as if his entire body had become a vessel of life force.

The light grew stronger and stronger, and his entire body seemed to have turned into a condensed cyan-gold color.

Immediately afterwards, a beam of light shot into the sky, carrying his body into the air.

The beam of light pierced through the clouds, illuminating the nearby sea, containing terrifying life energy—this was merely the aftershock.

Just like the corpses of soul beasts on the sea surface, they began to grow rapidly, their wounds healing quickly and even starting to proliferate.

However, it is merely the growth of flesh and blood, not resurrection.

Mu Ye raised his hand and released a dark golden power, isolating him from life force.

He stared at the cyan-gold pillar of light, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

The beam of light lasted only three breaths before it began to rapidly condense.

In an instant, a huge disc with a diameter of ten zhang appeared behind Jiang Yi.

The edge of the disc is covered with intricate patterns, resembling some ancient divine runes, with a faint, mysterious purple aura flowing across it.

The purple aura was so faint, yet it was so eye-catching.

Makino, who was observing from the side, was immediately drawn to the purple aura and ignored everything else.

In the center of the disc was a huge cyan-gold heart, which occupied an area of ​​nearly five zhang (approximately 10 meters) around the center of the disc.

The heart contracts and relaxes continuously, and the energy it generates flows into the air along the patterns on the disc and disappears.

Jiang Yi kept his eyes open at all times, and his eyes were burning with cyan-gold flames.

He couldn't help but raise his hand to look at his palm. He discovered that beneath his skin, there were lines that were almost identical to the lines on the disc behind him.

Jiang Yi clenched his fist, but he didn't feel any increase in strength; however, his vitality had increased considerably.

Especially in the current state, its vitality has tripled.

"So I've completed my second awakening at the Gold level this time?"

"When I become a Title Douluo, will my original martial soul be able to awaken again? And what will it become then?" Jiang Yi couldn't help but wonder.

However, this state seems to cause some damage to the body and can easily harm one's own life essence.

Fortunately, he has a strong vitality and can recover from any injury.

However, now that there were no enemies, Jiang Yi had a thought and immediately exited this state.

The giant disc behind him disappeared, and his body returned to normal.

He was originally in mid-air, but fell straight down to the sea and finally stood steadily on the sea.

Before he could even sense the other changes within his body, Muye appeared in front of him in a flash.

Makino's face was filled with excitement, and he quickly asked, "You've completed your awakening, right?"

"Of course." Jiang Yi was taken aback when he saw Mu Ye suddenly appear, then smiled.

"What do you feel? What changes have you experienced?" Makino asked impatiently.

In fact, as the sect leader of the Body Sect, he was absolutely clear about the changes that would occur after the Body Martial Soul underwent its second awakening.

However, Jiang Yi was too special, so he was also somewhat uncertain.

"When I used my second awakening state, my strength increased by about three times," Jiang Yi said, sharing his feelings.

"Three times, that's the second awakening at the gold level."

"Gold level? How is this possible? The first awakening is at the gold level?" Makino stared wide-eyed in disbelief, muttering to himself.

A typical Soul Master with a unique Martial Soul will undergo two awakenings. The first awakening is divided into three levels: Iron, Bronze, and Silver.

The most talented Soul Masters can complete Silver-level Awakening, and when using the Second Awakening, they can directly increase their strength by 100%.

Then, each Soul Master with their original Martial Soul can further increase their Awakening Level when breaking through to the Title Douluo level.

Bronze-level can be upgraded to Silver-level, and Silver-level will eventually reach Gold-level.

The Body Sect has been passed down for so many years, and the most talented members of the sect are basically at the Silver level when they first awaken.

No one has ever achieved Gold-level Awakening on their first awakening.

Mu Ye looked at Jiang Yi with excitement in his eyes. He was indeed a person who far surpassed other soul masters.

"You really are amazing." Mu Ye suppressed his excitement and patted Jiang Yi on the shoulder.

"Let's go, let's hurry back."

"If we stay here any longer, we might attract some powerful sea spirit beasts. The commotion you've caused here is quite significant," Makino remarked.

Gazing at the sea that had been stained blood red, Mu Ye grabbed Jiang Yi and flew away without looking back.

After bringing Jiang Yi back to his room, Mu Ye said, "You should get some rest today."

"Okay, teacher," Jiang Yi nodded.

Makino nodded slightly and then disappeared from the room in a flash.

After he left, Jiang Yi hurriedly took off his tattered clothes and rushed into the bathroom to take a shower.

Having survived such a fierce battle at sea, he was covered in blood and needed to be cleaned up properly.

After showering for nearly ten minutes, Jiang Yi came out of the bathroom, put on some clean clothes, and lay down on the bed.

Having undergone a second awakening of his original martial soul, his injuries have been fully recovered.

Jiang Yi closed his eyes and began to sense the state of his body.

"My soul power has broken through to level 45."

This was within his expectations. He wasn't far from forty-five to begin with, and after this battle and second awakening, it would be strange if he didn't break through.

After sensing the surroundings, Jiang Yi didn't discover anything particularly special; the vitality remained largely unchanged.

It can still only heal, just like before, only now it's become stronger.

It's so powerful that it has developed an additional special attack method.

That is, just like when he awakened for the second time, he poured powerful life force into the bodies of others.

It causes the flesh and blood of a person who was originally healthy to grow excessively.

This power is terrifying and very strange.

"It's so bizarre it's like a demonic spirit master." Jiang Yi couldn't help but think that way himself.

He felt that if he used this move in front of the Shrek Academy students, he would be directly labeled as an evil soul master.

Jiang Yi actually thought it was quite normal for this ability to appear after one's vitality increased.

Life force is not simply about healing. The reason he can only heal is because his martial soul is incomplete.

However, after two fusions, his vitality has begun to change.

"After that, is it possible for me to also master the ability to absorb life force, heal others, and use life force in many other diverse ways?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Yi was also filled with anticipation.

Then he slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

The ship slowly sailed towards the Star Luo Continent, and three more days passed.

After more than two months, they finally arrived at the Star Luo Continent.

After the ship docked, Jiang Yi, Zhen Hua, and Mu Ye disembarked.

Outside the Star Luo City in the world of Peerless Tang Sect.

Jiang Yi and Xu Jiujiu, wearing masks, left through the north gate of Xingluo City and headed north towards the Tianhun Empire.

Their destination was the Star Dou Great Forest, which spanned the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

At this point, a week had passed since Jiang Yi began learning how to make soul tools.

In seven days, he reached level three in Soul Master, and low-level Soul Tools posed little challenge to him.

Meanwhile, he also used his spare time to practice forging and quickly mastered the knowledge he had obtained from Dragon King Jiang Yi.

After completing the initial steps, Jiang Yi immediately headed to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a spirit ring.

--------------------------

Having been stuck at the level 40 bottleneck for so long, it's time for him to acquire a suitable spirit ring and complete the breakthrough.

Xu Jiujiu heard that he was going to hunt for spirit rings, so he came with him. Xu Tianxing was also there to protect him in the dark.

This way, even if you encounter powerful soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, you won't have to worry too much.

"Xiao Yi, what kind of spirit beast are you planning to use for your fourth spirit ring?" Xu Jiujiu asked curiously as they walked along the road.

Because Xu Jiujiu already had feelings for Jiang Yi, after spending time together, it was natural for her to change how she addressed him.

This can help to bring the two people closer together.

"Any spirit beast with strong physical attributes and combat power is acceptable, preferably an animal," Jiang Yi said directly.

He obtained his first three spirit rings using this approach, and the resulting spirit skills were extremely powerful.

After all, a martial soul should naturally be fused with a soul ring that can significantly improve physical attributes.

The two walked and talked for nearly two days before finally arriving at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Looking at the vast Soul Beast Forest before him, and glancing at the sun high in the sky, Jiang Yi said, "Let's go in tomorrow."

"The soul beast I'm looking for is easier to find in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. If we go in now..."

"It will probably be dark by the time we reach the core area."

Xu Jiujiu nodded in agreement, and she wasn't surprised to hear that Jiang Yi's fourth spirit ring had to be found in the core.

Jiang Yi's physical abilities, as demonstrated in the competition, directly overwhelmed even top-tier Soul Emperors.

It is quite normal to fuse with a soul ring that is over ten thousand years old.

The two then found a place to camp, intending to spend the night there, and then head straight into the Star Dou Great Forest early the next morning.

The two ate some dry rations for lunch and then stayed inside the tent.

After nightfall, I rested early to recharge and prepare for tomorrow.

Not far from them, Xu Tianxing sat in a large tree, observing the place where the two of them were.

"We're all living in the same tent now, it seems like we're definitely going to be together from now on." Xu Tianxing said with a satisfied smile.
