Chapter 37 The second soul skill, a moment of beauty!
In a training room specially designed for Class Zero students at East China Academy ,
Zhao Tao sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, continuously practicing the Time Meditation Method.
At this moment,
a small vortex appeared in Zhao Tao's dantian, spinning continuously.
As the vortex spun, the soul power in the training room also continuously flowed into Zhao Tao's dantian.
Of course,
along with the soul power being absorbed, mysterious silver energies, difficult for ordinary people to grasp, were also absorbed.
These energies were none other than the power of time.
As these strands of time power were absorbed into Zhao Tao's dantian,
they were also transformed into soul power by the Spring and Autumn Cicada and refined by Zhao Tao.
As Zhao Tao refined this vast amount of soul power, he continued to push past the bottleneck of level 20.
Once, twice, three times...
I don't know how many times it happened.
Finally.
A crisp, shattering "pop" sound suddenly echoed through Zhao Tao's sea of consciousness.
At that moment, Zhao Tao felt an incomparable comfort in his body, as if he had returned to the womb.
His dantian and meridians were constantly expanding, able to accommodate more soul power.
And the Spring and Autumn Cicada, Zhao Tao's martial soul, also felt waves of joy.
"Success! I've finally broken through to level 20!"
"Next, I'll fuse my soul rings, obtain my second soul skill, and officially break through to Grand Soul Master!"
Feeling the changes in his body, Zhao Tao couldn't help but smile faintly.
Standing up, Zhao Tao briefly stretched his stiff body.
After several minutes,
Zhao Tao once again sat cross-legged, clearing his mind of distractions and summoning his Spring and Autumn Cicada Martial Spirit and the Year Silkworm Soul.
"Second Soul Ring, Condensate!"
Zhao Tao chanted, and streams of purple spiritual energy began to appear around the Year Silkworm Soul.
Soon, these purple spiritual energies converged into a purple soul ring.
Immediately, at Zhao Tao's command, the purple soul ring left the Year Silkworm Soul's body and wrapped around the Spring and Autumn Cicada Martial Spirit.
Over time, the purple soul ring continuously contracted, resonating with the Spring and Autumn Cicada Martial Spirit.
Eventually, it merged with the Spring and Autumn Cicada Martial Spirit. As
the soul rings merged,
a powerful current of heat surged into Zhao Tao's body,
helping him break through the bottleneck of his Great Soul Master status.
Under the impact of this heat wave,
Zhao Tao's physical fitness and mental strength continued to improve.
The meridians and Dantian in his body that carried soul power were constantly expanding.
The soul power in the meridians and Dantian was also constantly squeezed, becoming more mellow and condensed.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour...
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.
Another crisp shattering sound was heard.
The bottleneck that bound Zhao Tao as a great soul master was completely shattered.
And with the breakthrough of the bottleneck, streams of extremely rich soul power and time power continuously poured into Zhao Tao's Dantian.
As the vast amount of time power was refined,
Zhao Tao's soul power and aura began to rise continuously.
His mental strength and physical fitness also soared again with the official breakthrough in his cultivation.
His spiritual power, in particular, had quietly broken through to the late stage of the Spiritual Communication Realm.
Even his height had grown several inches, and his demeanor had become even more handsome and elegant.
"Haha, Master Dao, I've made it!"
"I'm now a Level 22 Great Soul Master!"
Zhao Tao slowly opened his eyes, a flicker of joy in his eyes.
After three and a half years of training, his cultivation had finally returned to the level of a Great Soul Master.
This progress was actually quite significant.
After all, in his first life before rebirth, even with full innate soul power,
Zhao Tao's cultivation level was only Level 25 at the same age.
Now, Zhao Tao was only three levels away from catching up to his pre-rebirth level.
Moreover,
if one considers spiritual power, soul cultivation, soul power quality, and many other factors, the difference between the two is significant.
Zhao Tao's current strength absolutely crushed his pre-rebirth abilities.
As for his soft skills, like combat techniques...
they were miles ahead of his previous life!
Despite his achievements,
Zhao Tao harbored no trace of complacency.
Witnessing the true power of Tang Hao and Tang San's divine consciousness,
Zhao Tao truly understood that
the difference between a quasi-god and a true god, though only a single character, was a chasm like an insurmountable chasm.
Although Zhao Tao had already surpassed Yun Ming in his first life,
even Tang San's divine consciousness was ten times more powerful than Yun Ming's!
Not to mention Tang Hao, the heir to the power of the Plane Lord!
Right now, he had no reason to be complacent.
He must continue to strive and grow stronger!
Only then can he protect himself and his precious Na'er and Gu Yue!
"Come see my second soul skill!"
Zhao Tao thought, and with a flicker of his mind, he summoned the Spring and Autumn Cicada spirit once again.
Suddenly,
two purple soul rings surrounded Zhao Tao.
And information about Zhao Tao's newly acquired soul skills continuously poured into his sea of consciousness.
Zhao Tao's second soul skill, this time, is called "Momentary Blossom." The
so-called "Momentary Blossom" refers to the fleeting moment of a flower blooming and falling, a journey through a flower's life.
In simple terms, this soul skill is a supporting soul skill with a powerful all-in-one effect:
it alters the flow of time for its target!
Zhao Tao can use "Momentary Blossom" to accelerate himself or his teammates!
As the saying goes, "No martial art in the world is invincible unless it's fast."
This soul skill significantly increases Zhao Tao's explosive power, while also making it difficult for enemies to dodge his attacks!
Zhao Tao can also use "Momentary Beauty" to slow down his
enemies! Once the flow of time is slowed down,
their supposedly fierce attacks will appear incredibly slow to outsiders, even riddled with loopholes!
Strengthening oneself while weakening the enemy.
This is the power of the soul skill "Momentary Beauty"!
Of course, achieving such incredible results requires a tremendous amount of energy!
Even against a fellow Great Soul Master,
Zhao Tao can only maintain his soul power for about three minutes.
If the soul skill targets a higher level of cultivation, the degree of time flow can be further altered, or if the target is intended to affect multiple targets simultaneously.
The consumption of Zhao Tao's soul power will only be greater!
Fortunately, Zhao Tao can also flexibly control the duration of the effect of this soul skill!
Only affect the flow of time at the most critical time point!
In this way, the soul power consumption of this soul skill can also be controlled.
"Yes, the effect of this soul skill is far better than before the rebirth!"
"After all, Suican is the first soul spirit that I carefully selected before my rebirth, which is the most suitable for Spring and Autumn Cicada!"
"However, as a thousand-year soul spirit, Suican can only use the first three soul skills for me at most."
"When I break through to the Soul Sect, I must also choose a second soul spirit for myself!"
"Of course, a ten-thousand-year soul spirit that perfectly matches Spring and Autumn Cicada is not so easy to obtain..."
"But I have already made a plan!"
Nodding with satisfaction, Zhao Tao stood up and walked out of the training room!
