Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a month passed. During this period, Anna remained in the Sunset Forest, absorbing plant essence to strengthen her physique.
Her efforts were not in vain; heaven rewards the diligent. After this month of tempering, Anna's physique had already reached the Soul Elder level!
Do not assume that the Soul Elder level is weak. It is important to note that Anna possessed combat power comparable to a three-ring Soul Elder without using any soul rings or soul bones.
Now, without even utilizing her Martial Soul, Anna's strength was no less than that of a Power Attack System Battle Soul Elder, her speed rivaled an Agility Attack System Battle Soul Elder, and her physical defense matched a Defense System Battle Soul Elder.
To achieve this in just one month was already exceptionally impressive!
At this moment, at the foot of a mountain deep within the Sunset Forest, Anna was single-handedly lifting a boulder weighing hundreds of jin! Without the slightest strain, she tossed it upward, then grabbed another boulder of equal weight—five hundred jin—with her other hand, followed by another...
She juggled the three massive rocks like a circus clown, demonstrating just how powerful she had become.
"Nana, haven't you played enough? Come here!" Davis called out to Anna, waving for her to come over quickly.
"Okay!"
Anna responded, then threw a punch. Her fist, the size of a sandbag, shot out as fast as an arrow leaving the string, striking like a cannonball bursting from its chamber.
Bang—
As that earth-shattering punch landed heavily on the falling boulder, a deafening boom resonated. The rock shattered instantly, sending debris flying through the air.
Immediately after, two similar loud noises followed as Anna easily smashed the other two rocks! It was evident that her strength was now extraordinary.
Anna skipped over to Davis lively and smiled playfully. "Brother, shall we go?"
"En!"
Davis nodded slightly and led Anna to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Currently, Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Lingling, and the others were cultivating peacefully there.
This place was a treasure trove for cultivation, and none of them wanted to leave. After a month of cultivation, Lin Qiuyang's cultivation had improved significantly. According to him, if he were allowed to cultivate here, he would reach rank 93 in at most two years!
Meanwhile, Ning Wenze had also reached rank 81 during this half-month.
As for Ye Lingling, ever since she consumed the Nine Heart Jade Spirit Pill three years ago, her Martial Soul had transformed, and her cultivation speed had soared. Her soul power had now reached rank 61, making her a six-ring Soul Emperor.
Davis did not disturb everyone's cultivation. He led Anna to the medicine garden, pulled out a Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma, placed it in front of her, and told her to absorb it.
There was a reason for choosing the Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma. Its medicinal properties were mild and balanced, making it easy to absorb. Even if the Sacred Wood Essence Left Arm Bone failed to convert the medicinal power into energy for body tempering, it wouldn't cause any harm to Anna.
"Nana, you can start!"
"Alright!"
Anna waved her hand, and the Ink Jade Divine Grass shot out, wrapping around the Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma. It swiftly sucked the herb dry of its medicinal power, and then the soul bone skill activated.
The medicinal power and essence of the Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma were rapidly converted into an extremely pure energy, which was ultimately absorbed by Anna's cells.
Perhaps this energy was too pure, as it took Anna a long time to completely absorb it. However, a top-tier medicinal herb lived up to its name; it was far more potent than those century-old trees or millennial ancient woods.
After absorbing a single Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma, Anna instantly felt refreshed, her physical strength and constitution receiving a massive boost.
Her single-arm strength reached seven hundred jin, her attack speed was as fast as lightning, and the power of a single punch was like a bombardment of cannonballs!
Even bare-handed, without using her Martial Soul or soul power, Anna's current strength was enough to battle high-level Soul Elders, or even crush them, and fight across ranks against Soul Ancestors.
"Excellent! It worked!"
Seeing this, Davis was ecstatic, looking at Anna with doting affection, as if he were witnessing a peerless powerhouse he had personally forged.
It seemed the plan to go to Seagod Island could be put on the agenda.
Having made up his mind, Davis immediately said, "Nana, for the next period of time, we will cultivate here. You can use the top-tier medicinal herbs here freely. I believe it won't be long before you become incredibly powerful!"
"Brother, I will definitely become stronger!"
With a look of determination in her eyes, Anna moved to another Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma and began absorbing its plant essence, constantly making herself stronger...
Three months passed quietly. During this time, Davis, Anna, and the others continued cultivating their soul power in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and everyone's strength improved considerably.
Now, Davis's soul power had reached the peak of rank 89, just one step away from rank 90 and becoming a Titled Douluo.
Countless soul masters exhausted their minds and cultivated painstakingly for decades just to reach the peak of rank 89. Only one step further, and they could break through to rank 90 and become a Titled Douluo.
Yet, how many were stuck at this step, unable to advance an inch for their entire lives? Take Dai Tianxing and Zhu Lingyun, for example; they had been stuck at the peak of rank 89 for over a decade. If not for Davis's herbs and pills, the two elders might never have become Titled Douluo in their lifetimes.
But for Davis, this step, which seemed like a chasm or a heavenly moat to others, was effortless. He believed that in just half a year, or at most a year, he would definitely reach rank 90 and become a true Titled Douluo!
At that time, not only would he become the youngest Titled Douluo in the history of the continent, but he would also possess a lifespan of several hundred years.
On the path to immortality, becoming a Titled Douluo was merely the beginning!
It wasn't just Davis; the others also made significant progress. Ye Lingling's soul power reached rank 62, and Zhu Zhuqing's reached rank 68.
But if one were to speak of the person with the greatest increase in strength, it had to be Anna. Although her soul power hadn't increased, after this period of cultivation, Anna's physical strength was comparable to a seven-ring Soul Sage!
Her single-arm strength reached thousands of jin—her strength was terrifyingly great, her speed as fast as the wind, and her defense as hard as steel.
Davis had tested it; even bolts from a powerful crossbow couldn't leave a single scratch on Anna, showing just how tough her skin was.
Moreover, even if she were injured, with her current constitution, the wound would recover instantly at an extremely fast speed.
The current Anna could completely thrash a Soul Sage with her physical body alone. If she used her Martial Soul and soul bones, she could fight fiercely against a Soul Douluo without losing ground. At the very least, if Anna went all out now, even Zhu Zhuyun wouldn't be able to take her down in a short time.
It wasn't just Davis and his group who underwent earth-shaking changes. Following the Heaven Dou Palace Coup, the entire landscape of the Douluo Continent had shifted dramatically!
Four months had passed since the coup ended. During this time, news of Emperor Xue Ye's death, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe's treason, and Prince Xue Beng's rebellion spread like wildfire. For a time, rumors flew everywhere, making it impossible to distinguish truth from falsehood.
However, one thing was unquestionable: during the coup, Davis had slain the Lion Douluo and the Conquering Demon Douluo. The fall of two Super Douluo sent shockwaves through the soul master world!
