Chapter 306 Seclusion
Within his Hurricane Battlefield, an opponent's speed would be reduced by 40%, and their use of soul skills would accelerate the depletion of their soul power. Wu Xuan considered these two points secondary. What he liked most about the Hurricane Battlefield was its unique characteristics: extremely difficult to break through from the inside, and while extremely good at concealing itself from the outside, it was also extremely easy to break through.
It had weaknesses and strengths, but Wu Xuan didn't find it particularly powerful.
As for the Soul-Breaking Spear's innate domain, it was Annihilation, with only one effect: dispelling all domain-type soul skills!
Wu Xuan had never told anyone this, keeping it a secret as a trump card.
Having the Soul-Breaking Spear's innate domain was also why Wu Xuan wasn't interested in domain-type soul skills.
"The soul hunt is over, hurry back to the academy. Staying with this kid any longer makes me feel like I've wasted my life." Old Li grumbled, urging the group to return to the academy.
Upon hearing Old Li's words, Xian Lin'er and the other two found them quite reasonable and immediately took to the air.
They ignored Wu Xuan!
Shrek Academy!
Five streaks of light landed on the Sea God Pavilion plaza one after another. The expressions of Xian Lin'er and the other three towards Wu Xuan became even more peculiar. A newly-broken Soul Saint's speed could actually rival theirs, these top-tier Super Douluo—it was truly outrageous!
"I can't take it anymore! I'm too devastated! From today onwards, I'm cutting off all social interaction and going into seclusion!" Elder Jin roared through gritted teeth, turning and disappearing from the spot.
"Come along, come along, take me with you!" Elder Li's figure also vanished instantly.
Watching the two elders leave, Wu Xuan's lips twitched involuntarily.
"Senior brother! Senior sister! Don't forget the soul tool you promised me! I'll have Xiao Tao deliver the Conferred God Platform to you later," Wu Xuan reminded Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo, who were also about to leave.
"Understood!" Xian Lin'er smiled slightly at Wu Xuan, and after watching him enter the Sea God Pavilion, she immediately kicked Qian Duoduo beside her.
"Ouch! Lin'er, what are you doing?" Qian Duoduo asked, bewildered and full of grievance.
"What am I doing? What do you think I'm doing? It's been months and I haven't even touched the threshold of a ninth-level Soul Master. What else can you do?" Xian Lin'er sneered.
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo's old face turned red and he fell silent. He had boasted before, but who would have thought that the core formation of a ninth-level Soul Master would be so difficult to inscribe? He had tried several times without success.
"Go into seclusion and don't come to see me until you break through to the ninth-level Soul Master!" Xian Lin'er sneered and flew away from the Sea God Pavilion, leaving Qian Duoduo bewildered in the wind.
Inside the Sea God Pavilion, Elder Mu was already waiting at the head of the long table. Sensing Wu Xuan's slowly approaching aura, Elder Mu slowly opened his eyes. "How was the soul hunt?"
"Teacher, you know what? This soul hunt was quite eventful. That golden-scaled griffin was really troublesome. After we surrounded it, that beast actually broke through 300,000 years of cultivation. In the end, even on the verge of death, it still tried to self-destruct and take us all down with it. But with me there, it wasn't a problem." Wu Xuan boasted, recounting the events to Elder Mu.
Elder Mu listened quietly with a smile on his face. He actually enjoyed the closeness of his disciples and juniors, but unfortunately, his relationship with his great-grandson wasn't very close. However, he was fortunate to have taken in such a young disciple in his later years, which somewhat made up for his regret.
"Domain soul skill? You little guy are quite lucky?" Elder Mu couldn't help but marvel at Wu Xuan's good fortune. At least in his knowledge, he had never heard of a soul bone carrying a domain-type soul skill.
"Hehe!" Wu Xuan chuckled smugly. Even Elder Mu had said so, and Wu Xuan's frustration at not obtaining the Radiant Holy Flame vanished.
Elder Mu slowly took out a scroll from his robes and handed it to Wu Xuan, saying with a smile, "This is a secret technique called True Body Descent, exclusive to weapon spirits. The Golden Scale Griffin is a ferocious beast among super spirit beasts. If you can use True Body Descent to bring it into reality to assist in battle, your strength will be dramatically enhanced. From now on, you will cultivate in seclusion at the Sea God Pavilion. Whether you can master this technique depends on your ability. Little guy, you should be mentally prepared. If you don't meet this old man's satisfaction, I won't let you go."
Wu Xuan didn't take the scroll from Elder Mu, his eyes calm as still water, and said, "Teacher, this breakthrough to Soul Saint has given me a deeper understanding of the wind element. I'm afraid I'll have to go into seclusion for a while before I can study the Descent Secret Technique."
"Another new insight?" Elder Mu was surprised. The meditative insights that high-level spirit masters longed for were almost as casual as eating and drinking for his little disciple.
"Hmm! This enlightenment is hard-won. You should focus on meditation and contemplation first. Keep the Descent Technique for now and study it later when you have time," Elder Mu said gently.
Wu Xuan took the scroll Elder Mu handed him and smiled confidently, "Teacher, just watch me! Once I finish my meditation, I'll definitely learn this Descent Technique in no time."
"Haha! Then I'll be watching with anticipation," Elder Mu laughed, not criticizing Wu Xuan for his boastful words.
Wu Xuan waved his hand and walked into the cultivation room beneath the Golden Ancient Tree without looking back.
Wu Xuan's advancement was too fast. If he didn't go into seclusion to consolidate his cultivation, not to mention controlling his Martial Soul True Body, he wouldn't even be able to fully digest the understanding of wind elements after consuming the Gentle Breeze Lotus Mist.
This time, Wu Xuan went directly to the very bottom of the Sea God Pavilion. There was only one cultivation room on this floor, and this cultivation room was the most precious place in the entire Shrek Academy.
Wu Xuan gently pushed open the wooden door in front of him, and in the next instant, he felt an incredibly rich life force rushing towards him. The pure and abundant life force transformed directly into mist. Wu Xuan felt as if his heart had been cleansed, and he felt as if he had returned to the stage of advancing the Soul-Breaking Spear and completely fusing with the Metal of Life.
He slowly walked to the very center of the cultivation room. Even with Wu Xuan's composure, he was momentarily stunned, for what he saw was a spring of water, water condensed from pure life energy.
Wu Xuan looked up slightly, and his eyes fell upon countless roots hanging from the ceiling, almost covering every corner of the room's walls and floor.
The life essence extracted from the Golden Ancient Tree—this was Wu Xuan's first thought.
He slowly stepped forward and sat cross-legged on the futon beside the spring. After taking a deep breath of the rich life energy, he took out the scroll given to him by Elder Mu and unfolded it in his hand.
After reading it once, Wu Xuan closed his eyes slightly, recalling what he had seen. Frankly speaking, mastering the Descent Technique wasn't difficult; the key lay with the Soul Master themselves. It depended on how the Soul Master used their spiritual power to control their own soul power, achieving the final fusion of spirit and soul power.
