High Martial Arts: Martial Soul Great Sage Equal to Heaven, crushing all races.

boom!

The massive amount of defense-breaking points accumulated on the system panel poured out in a frenzy, all of which were then channeled into the Spirit Awakening Technique.

[Ding! Adding cultivation points...]

[You have begun cultivating the third-tier SSS-level Spirit Awakening Technique...]

With your strongest foundation and vast inner energy, you can cultivate the Soul Awakening Technique with ease...

However, with the help of resources, things would go much more smoothly...

Feng Mo grabbed a large amount of resources and stuffed them into his mouth.

The intense heat and blood energy acted like a furnace, instantly refining resources.

The body's Qi and blood begin to surge and circulate continuously.

The five unfathomable SSS-level Qi Seas within his dantian were now completely ignited, boiling wildly.

At the same time, the vast spiritual power honed through the "Three Phases Contemplation Method" flowed back into the dantian.

True Qi and spiritual power, physical body and soul, collided violently, clashed, and finally intertwined perfectly in this extremely violent furnace.

[With the blessing of a spiritually enlightened soul and profound wisdom, the proficiency of the Spirit Awakening Technique begins to surge!]

Your Spirit Awakening Technique—Perfected!

With the frenzied catalyst of the breach point, the Spirit Awakening Technique was directly perfected.

The three mixed energies within Feng Mo's body merged perfectly, completing a qualitative leap!

Vitality, energy, and spirit—a trinity!

In an instant, this energy transformed into an even more destructive force—Martial Soul Power!

[You have broken through your cultivation level and entered the third-tier Awakening Soul Realm!]

[Your physical strength and martial spirit power are beginning to surge!]

Your Monkey King martial spirit has awakened from its slumber...

A crisp system notification sound exploded in my mind.

Feng Mo suddenly unleashed a terrifying aura far exceeding that of an ordinary third-tier cultivator.

A violent energy ripple spread outwards from him, forcefully pushing away the dense spiritual energy around him, and ear-piercing sonic booms exploded continuously in the air.

Along with this raging aura, Feng Mo's body shone with golden light.

A phantom figure, over two meters tall, suddenly appeared behind him.

The phantom was clad in golden chainmail, wore a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, and wore lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes.

A Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff) stood to one side. Although it was only about three meters long, it seemed to be able to support the heavens and the earth!

Although he was just sitting quietly cross-legged, his overwhelming and unruly aura instantly swept across the entire Awakening Soul Secret Realm.

Om-!

The many young talents from Shanghai on the shore all let out a muffled groan.

They were horrified to find that their bodies were trembling violently and uncontrollably under this oppressive force.

Their knees buckled, and they all knelt down on the ground.

"A humanoid martial soul! It even comes with its own armored avatar!"

A prodigy from a prestigious family, his face deathly pale, exclaimed in shock, "This is definitely a top-grade martial soul, at least S-rank! But he just broke through; how can his aura be so terrifying!"

Ignoring the shock of the crowd, Feng Mo heard a notification sound in his mind again.

[Your mythical martial soul, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, has begun to awaken...]

[Seemingly sensing the massive amount of unclaimed martial soul power contained in the Soul Awakening Pool, your martial soul has begun to actively absorb it!]

A massive amount of martial spirit energy surged into your body, transforming into your martial spirit foundation...

[The speed at which your martial spirit power is increasing is like a heifer riding a Dongfeng missile—it's incredibly fast!]

In an instant, the once calm pool water suddenly surged.

The gold, silver, and bronze pool waters transformed into a massive vortex, frantically swirling back towards Feng Mo at the center of the formation.

Feng Mo's body transformed into a greedy and boundless black hole, plundering the pure energy accumulated over hundreds of years in the Awakening Soul Secret Realm at an utterly unreasonable and abnormal speed.

Yun Tianyi, who was sitting in the golden seat next to Feng Mo, was happily circulating his cultivation technique, preparing to show off his skills and refine himself.

At that moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, his face filled with a look of utter disbelief.

The martial spirit power that was originally so rich that it seeped into every pore was now completely drained and frozen.

He exerted all his strength to circulate his internal energy, but he couldn't absorb even a tiny bit of it.

The three high-achieving students next to them, who had spent a fortune to secure their seats, were even more heartbroken.

"No, buddy!" A tall, thin boy stared at the empty array core, his voice trembling with tears. "We paid real money for these seats! How come there's not a drop left? What happened?"

"Give me my money back! I want my money back!" another prodigy cried out in despair.

But their voices were quickly drowned out by the deafening roar of the water.

The pool water spiraled out of control, and the violent suction force whipped up a three-colored giant wave tens of meters high, completely engulfing Feng Mo and the Great Sage's phantom.

In mid-air, a giant water sphere with a diameter of tens of meters floated and took shape, completely blocking the view of the outside world.

Unseen by the public, Feng Mo's martial spirit was rapidly transforming from a phantom into a tangible form!

The entire audience of geniuses stood there dumbfounded, looking up at the enormous water sphere that was spinning wildly.

In the nearly 500-year history of Shanghai Martial Arts University, countless outstanding talents have been tempered here, but no one has ever caused such a terrifying, even catastrophic, phenomenon in the Awakening Pool.

Time flew by amidst the deathly silence and awe.

three days later.

The giant water sphere in mid-air, as its energy was frantically absorbed, finally became thin and transparent until it completely dissipated.

Inside the water sphere, the phantom of the Monkey King's martial spirit had almost materialized, radiating a sense of oppression that sent shivers down one's spine.

Suddenly, the Great Sage Martial Soul abruptly opened its eyes.

Golden flames leaped wildly in his pupils.

boom!

Two beams of dazzling golden light burst forth from his eyes, shooting straight into the sky, seemingly about to pierce through the heavens of this secret realm!

The system notification sounded again in Feng Mo's mind:

[After reaching the third tier, you consumed a large amount of resources...]

[Your martial spirit is quite impressive, absorbing all the martial spirit power in the Awakening Pool...]

[Your cultivation has reached the ninth level of the third-tier Awakening Soul Realm, achieving SSS-level martial soul power foundation!]

Your Monkey King Martial Soul has been upgraded! Current level: lv2!

[Unlock Talent Four: Sharp Eyes!]

[Unlock Talent Five: The Ruyi Jingu Bang!]

[Defense penetration points exhausted, training complete!]

Feng Mo slowly opened his eyes, a flash of golden light disappearing from them.

He clenched his fists, feeling the vast, terrifying power within him, filled with an aura of destruction, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

In just three days, he went from the second stage, ninth level of perfection, to the third stage, ninth level of perfection!

I don't even know how strong I really am right now.

In the national martial arts college entrance examination, is there anyone qualified to be his opponent?

Feng Mo retracted his martial spirit phenomenon and landed steadily on his seat.

He looked down and raised an eyebrow.

The Awakening Pool beneath their feet was completely empty, the cracked array patterns exposed to the air, devoid of any martial soul power.

Feng Mo turned to look at Yun Tianyi, who was still standing there in a daze with a blank expression, and casually asked, "Brother Yun, is this pool water disposable? Does it need to be refilled every time you wash with it?"

Yun Tianyi stared blankly at the bottom of the pool, where even the mud had dried up to the point of crumbling.

His lips twitched violently, revealing a bitter smile that was more like a grimace: "This pool has been around for nearly five hundred years, and it's never dried up in the first place..."

Feng Mo shrugged dismissively and glanced down at the bracelet.

6 month 5 day.

There are only a few days left until the national martial arts examination begins.

"Time is of the essence, I must return to Jian'an Province to prepare for battle." Feng Mo strode towards the exit of the secret realm without the slightest hesitation.

Yun Tianyi turned his head and glanced at the hundreds of geniuses from Shanghai on the distant shore.

The eyes of those people were a mixture of envy, jealousy, and a desire to cry.

Especially those three unlucky guys who spent all their money to buy a spot, only to sit there for three days and get nothing in return, their eyes were red with envy.

Yun Tianyi was so frightened that he jumped up and ran after Feng Mo.

As he passed by Xia Yuan, who was still unconscious, he couldn't help but kick him a few times before chuckling and leaving.

……

At Wuhan University in Shanghai, a streamlined military fighter jet stands majestically on its dedicated helipad.

Yun Wanrou, dressed in a fitted purple robe, stood quietly in the wind.

Two elderly men dressed in black, exuding a profound aura, stood behind her.

This was the protector she had promised to arrange for Feng Mo, and after her application, the principal finally agreed.

After a brief farewell to Yun Wanrou, Feng Mo boarded the plane with two protectors and soared into the sky.

Watching the fighter jet disappear into the clouds as a tiny black dot, Yun Wanrou withdrew her gaze, maintaining the air of a distinguished professor, and turned to look at Yun Tianyi beside her.

"Tianyi," Yun Wanrou earnestly advised, "you should befriend grassroots talents like Feng Mo, who have no background but possess extraordinary talent. He is decisive, has boundless potential, and will surely become a pillar of the Great Xia Kingdom in the future. Investing in him will only benefit you in the future, not harm you."

"Great-aunt is right."

Yun Tianyi wiped the cold sweat that kept seeping from his forehead, unsure of where to begin with what had happened in the Awakening Pool.

"Hmm, how is Feng Mo's cleansing in the Soul Awakening Pool? Have you talked to him?" Yun Wanrou asked.

"Great-Grandma, Feng Mo acted... a bit brutally. He beat Xia Yuan up, and he's been unconscious for three days and hasn't woken up yet," Yun Tianyi said weakly.

"Xia Yuan? He seems to be a rising genius of the Xia family? Let's just fight him, it's not a big deal." Yun Wanrou chuckled.

Anyway, even if we don't fight now, we'll still fight during the martial arts exam; it's just a matter of time.

Yun Tianyi hadn't expected Feng Mo to hold such a high position in this great-aunt's eyes. He swallowed hard and continued:

"He even broke through to the third tier directly in the Soul Awakening Pool..."

"Oh, you broke through to the third rank in one refinement? You really are a prodigy. What rank is your martial soul? Do you recognize it?" Yun Wanrou's eyes lit up.

"I don't recognize him, but he's at least SS-rank or higher!" Yun Tianyi said.

He had seen SS-level martial souls before, but compared to Feng Mo's martial soul, there was absolutely no comparison.

That's why we can be so sure that Feng Mo's martial soul is definitely of SS grade or higher.

"Good! Good! It wasn't for nothing that I went to such lengths to win him over. Feng Mo really didn't disappoint me!" Yun Wanrou was overjoyed.

She originally planned to wait for Feng Mowu to finish her exams at Shanghai Martial Arts University before hosting a welcome dinner for her.

She couldn't wait any longer and had to go to Ning City again to witness Feng Mo's brilliant performance in the examination room!

Yun Tianyi gritted his teeth and forced a smile, saying, "Although Feng Mo is indeed a prodigy, he... completely drained the Awakening Pool. Not a single drop was left, and the array patterns at the bottom of the pool have even cracked. This is probably no small matter..."

Yun Wanrou's face froze, and she exclaimed in astonishment:

"ah???"
