Sixty percent, seventy percent, eighty percent, ninety percent!
The stagnant cultivation progress suddenly surged wildly, and before long, it was completely perfected!
After You Chen transformed all eight hundred and forty million physical particles into giant elephant particles and fully mastered the introductory chapter of the Godly Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, the transformation naturally followed.
His physical body gradually became purer, sublimating towards a more perfect direction.
This feeling was not unfamiliar to You Chen.
"Yi Jin Fa Sui!?"
You Chen was acutely aware of this change.
Although the root cause of this phenomenon was different, the heat he felt was distinct from the cool airflow during Yi Jin Fa Sui; it felt like it was bursting forth from the physical particles themselves. However, the effects and results were similar.
Just like soul rings of the same age can provide different enhancements to soul masters—some leaning towards speed, others towards defense—this time, the sublimation was more inclined to refine You Chen's physical body to be closer to the Godly Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, which meant a more specialized enhancement of his physical qualifications!
In terms of changes to his physical qualifications alone, it was probably no less than a dozen times of Yi Jin Fa Sui!
It was equivalent to the more he cultivated the Godly Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, the more his innate talent in this technique would gradually improve.
With the completion of the giant elephant chapter of Godly Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, combined with the previous Yi Jin Fa Sui provided by the system, this physical sublimation, and the effects of the Ice Fire Immortal Herb, under these four opportunities, You Chen finally caught a glimpse of understanding regarding the originally obscure dragon elephant chapter!
Thus, the first dragon elephant particle was born!
With the first dragon elephant particle, the subsequent condensation was a natural progression.
You Chen roughly estimated that once he completely refined the Ice Fire Immortal Herb, he could push the progress of the small success realm to about thirty percent!
Having mastered the introductory chapter, You Chen's physical body naturally reached the level of a Super Douluo...
If he achieved thirty percent in the small success chapter, his physical body would likely be considered above average among Super Douluos.
This improvement was undeniably significant.
After all, in the soul master cultivation system of Douluo Continent, the differences become greater as one progresses to the later stages.
Soul masters are categorized into eight realms, but the feeling of Titled Douluo, especially Super Douluo, is that each additional level is roughly equivalent to the gap of the previous realm.
It's like the leap from soul master to soul douluo is a major realm, and the Titled Douluo level is also a major realm. Even considering the sequel of Douluo Continent, the Extreme Douluo can be seen as a new major realm...
The chapters of Godly Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength correspond to this as well.
With the introductory chapter fully mastered, possessing a Titled Douluo-level physical body, just based on physical strength, he was nearly at the threshold of Titled Douluo or the peak combat power of a soul douluo. The reason You Chen's fully mastered introductory chapter equated his physical body to that of a Super Douluo was that even without the Godly Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, his physical strength was already close to the Titled Douluo level. Combining the two, reaching the Super Douluo level was naturally a given.
When the small success chapter is fully mastered, it would be comparable to the physical body of an Extreme Douluo, capable of contending with an ordinary 98-level Super Douluo.
Upon reaching the great success chapter, it would be a significant qualitative change; just stepping into this level would grant a divine officer-level, or 100-level, physical body. Once fully mastered at 100%, it would grant a physical body at the level of a divine being!
And the ultimate perfection, the divine elephant particle chapter, would grant a divine king-level physical body just by entering it. If fully mastered, one could contend with a divine king solely based on physical strength! That would likely be the realm of the so-called Dragon God!
The pinnacle of Godly Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength was indeed enticing, but You Chen was still far from fully mastering the dragon elephant particles...
With the help of the Immortal Herb, he pushed the progress of the dragon elephant particles to thirty percent in one go, plus the previous fifty percent progress of the giant elephant particles... It could be said that this Immortal Herb had already saved him at least several decades of hard work.
Of course, considering that You Chen's breakthrough to Titled Douluo wouldn't take too long, and taking into account the decrease in cultivation difficulty after the elevation of life level, this time should be discounted, but it would still be at least ten years of effort.
More importantly, the Immortal Herb not only served as a cultivation resource but also significantly enhanced You Chen's qualifications and foundation, effectively reducing his future cultivation time.
At the very least, what You Chen originally thought was impossible—completely mastering the small success chapter before facing future battles—was no longer a dream.
Thus, although the refining was not yet complete, one of You Chen's main objectives in absorbing the Ice Fire Immortal Herb had already been achieved.
And You Chen's other goal was... the Celestial Spirit Qi!
Celestial Spirit Qi was a special substance that normally only existed in the divine realm, the foundation of immortality for the gods!
But in this lower realm, there still existed a very small amount of Celestial Spirit Qi... Yes, it was right within the Immortal Herb!
How could You Chen not notice this?
If he planned to live a life of obscurity, there would be no need to consider the issue of gods, but since he decided to intervene in the continent's disputes and intended to unleash his ambitions in this world, You Chen could not ignore the matter of the gods.
And this Celestial Spirit Qi was naturally the best entry point!
While refining the Ice Fire Immortal Herb and tempering his body, You Chen still divided his attention, relying on his powerful spiritual power that had reached the realm of the spirit domain, striving to capture that trace of Celestial Spirit Qi that theoretically existed.
You Chen had never come into contact with Celestial Spirit Qi, but all he needed to do was find that distinct peculiarity hidden within the medicinal properties of the Immortal Herb!
Ordinary people could not comprehend its existence, but with no information gap, You Chen could naturally confirm that it was indeed the Celestial Spirit Qi he had been searching for!
As the refining of the Immortal Herb entered the right track, You Chen was able to allocate more of his attention to exploring the changes within his body, and soon, he noticed the cool airflow that was distinct from the medicinal power of the Immortal Herb...
That cool airflow was completely fused with the medicinal power, making it difficult to continue the next step of analysis without separating it.
Considering that this cool airflow was likely the Celestial Spirit Qi, which could be the reason the Immortal Herb had such extraordinary effects in this world, recklessly separating it could lead to a significant loss of medicinal properties. You Chen ultimately chose not to forcibly separate it with his powerful spiritual power.
However...
"Why does this airflow feel somewhat familiar?"
You Chen couldn't help but think.
...
"Hmm? Chen brother, is something not going well?"
Dugu Bo, seeing You Chen emerge from the spring water with a dazed expression that even made him hesitate, couldn't help but ask.
You Chen immediately came to his senses, shook his head, and said, "No, everything is going smoothly, just... smoother than I expected."
Dugu Bo was puzzled: "Isn't that a good thing?"
You Chen smiled: "Indeed, it is a good thing. In any case, it's time to meet your lovely granddaughter."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo instantly lost his confusion and became excited: "Chen brother, I'll lead the way right now!"
"Wait."
"Huh? Chen brother, do you need to prepare something?"
Under Dugu Bo's puzzled gaze, You Chen's figure flickered, and a young figure was separated from him.
Having been caught off guard, Dugu Bo immediately recognized this flawless-looking youth as You Chen's previous soul skill avatar, but he still marveled, "As expected of you, Chen brother, you can control your soul skills to such an extent!"
While praising, Dugu Bo still did not understand what You Chen was up to.
"You Xing" grinned and said, "Wrong, wrong, this is the real body."
Dugu Bo: "Huh?"
You Xing smiled and said, "Dugu brother, with your status, it's impossible to start from the bottom in my organization. From today on, you will be the fourth beast head of the Soul Arena Beasts—Snake Head Dugu Bo! And for every beast head, I will reveal this secret to them—I have a twin Martial Soul!"
"Twin, twin Martial Soul!? You actually have a twin Martial Soul!?"
Dugu Bo's eyes widened in shock.
At that moment, he found a reasonable explanation for the unexpectedly powerful strength You Chen had displayed earlier.
'No wonder! No wonder I heard that Chen brother was only theoretically outstanding while his strength was mediocre, but upon seeing him today, he unleashed such power! It's likely that Chen brother can absorb an additional set of soul rings due to his twin Martial Soul, temporarily elevating himself to the Titled Douluo level!'
Thinking this, Dugu Bo felt much better inside.
He looked at the youthful You Xing and couldn't help but ask curiously, "But, Chen brother, why does your twin Martial Soul make you look younger?"
Unlike the five who understood the situation and even worried about damaging the leader's reputation, Dugu Bo clearly was the type to ask directly.
You Xing said, "To put it simply, my second Martial Soul is quite special, which also affects the soul master himself. When I first switched, I even turned into a baby, and it has taken me over a decade to grow into this form. The intricacies of it, even I am still researching."
"So that's how it is! The world is indeed full of wonders!" Dugu Bo exclaimed purely.
You Xing glanced at Dugu Bo and said, "This secret, I have only told you, Dugu brother, so please don't mention it to others."
Dugu Bo nodded seriously: "Chen brother's secret, as your younger brother, I would never reveal it even if I die!"
"There's no need to be so extreme..."
Thus, You Xing casually deflected the topic. He pointed to his avatar that had taken on You Chen's appearance, which was now wearing a cloak, and said, "In any case, I will now act under the identity of my disciple 'You Xing', while my teacher 'You Chen' will only intervene when necessary."
"What's the significance of this...?" Dugu Bo couldn't help but scratch his head.
"You will understand one day..."
You Xing tilted his head slightly, adopting a mysterious demeanor. Clearly, Dugu Bo was taken in by this.
In truth... there was no particularly special reason.
You Chen was simply being cautious.
After all, this was the capital of Tiandou, gathering many from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Martial Soul Hall.
You Chen's reputation was too great, and the attitude of the Martial Soul Hall's offering hall was somewhat ambiguous. If any unexpected situation arose, using You Xing as a buffer would provide some leeway.
This cloaked figure could be You Chen or just an ordinary guard, depending on the situation.
Of course, You Chen now possessed the strength to face and even defeat a Super Douluo, so this move was more about avoiding unnecessary trouble.
Currently, what he was most eager for was to quickly wrap up matters here and take Dugu Bo back to the Soul Arena Beasts' headquarters.
You Chen did not immediately collect all the Immortal Herb just because Dugu Bo said he would gift it to him.
After all, many Immortal Herbs not only had specific methods of consumption but also required particular means of harvesting.
Could he really say he recognized the Ice Fire Immortal Herb and then not fear damaging its properties or being poisoned while collecting the Immortal Herb?
If Dugu Bo had the opportunity to delve deeper into the Immortal Herb later, he would surely discover the flaws and realize that You Chen had already recognized all the Immortal Herbs, which would lead to a critical oversight—You Chen could have healed Dugu Yan with the Immortal Herb but chose to "kidnap" Dugu Yan in this half-coercive manner.
You Chen was always meticulous about such details. After all, these Immortal Herbs were growing here and wouldn't run away, so there was no need to act unnecessarily.
Soon, the three figures set off together towards the Tiandou Royal Academy.
As the trio entered the mountainous area where the Tiandou Royal Academy was located, the avatar of You Chen suddenly concealed itself, leaving only Dugu Bo and You Xing walking side by side towards the Tiandou Royal Academy.
Dugu Bo even marveled at You Chen's concealment technique, which was worthy of being called the world's number one assassin.
Dugu Bo enthusiastically introduced the scenery to You Xing, and the journey went smoothly. As Dugu Bo, he naturally had no shortage of passage permits; even with his appearance changed, the guards would not stop them.
However, when the two ignored the guards at the first training ground and entered together, it inevitably caused a stir.
"What's going on?"
"It seems some visitors have intruded without permission."
This first training ground was the daily training venue for the Tiandou Royal Team.
Aside from the instructor Qin Ming, the agile attack-type soul masters Yu Feng and Ao Si Luo were the first to notice the situation and shared their judgments with each other.
The others quickly followed suit, pausing their training.
At this moment, Dugu Yan, only seventeen or sixteen years old, had a self-centered personality, relying on the pampering of her Titled Douluo grandfather, which had fostered her arrogant demeanor. She was warm towards familiar faces but completely opposite towards strangers, generally showing no good attitude.
Her training was interrupted by outsiders, and she immediately frowned in displeasure.
In fact, among the members of the Royal Fighting Team, aside from Ye Lingling, most had somewhat arrogant personalities and looked down on others.
Even Qin Ming, their teacher, only gained their recognition after demonstrating impressive strength and teaching ability.
At this time, Dugu Bo and the others were still near the entrance of the training ground, and at this distance, coupled with Dugu Bo's significant appearance change, Dugu Yan did not immediately realize that the newcomers were her beloved grandfather.
However, Yu Tianheng immediately noticed the change in Dugu Yan's expression.
Unlike what Dugu Bo had said, Yu Tianheng was far from being able to completely win over Dugu Yan at this point and was still in the phase of trying hard to please her.
Seeing this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said gently to Dugu Yan, "Yan Yan, there's no need to be angry over such matters. I'll help you send them away right now."
Qin Ming, who had originally planned to step in, silently withdrew his steps upon seeing Yu Tianheng volunteer.
He figured that since the two newcomers looked so young, even if they could bypass the guards, with Yu Tianheng's abilities, there shouldn't be any danger. It was a good opportunity to see how Yu Tianheng would handle such situations.
Although Qin Ming was just a teacher training the Tiandou Royal Team, he did not only see himself as a training instructor and was naturally happy to provide guidance beyond just improving combat power.
Dugu Bo was initially filled with joy, eager to share good news with his beloved granddaughter, but upon seeing Yu Tianheng striding confidently towards him, his expression instantly fell.
"You brat—"
Although Dugu Bo pretended to say that he couldn't bear to force his granddaughter to leave the Tiandou Royal Academy due to her romantic relationship, appearing completely supportive, the reality was quite the opposite.
In Dugu Bo's eyes, Yu Tianheng was just that; if it weren't for the backing of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, he wouldn't think much of him.
Of course... this couldn't be said to be Yu Tianheng's fault; it was purely Dugu Bo, the old man, not wanting to see his precious cabbage being pushed by a pig.
As soon as Dugu Bo spoke those two words, You Xing reached out to stop him. Although Dugu Bo was puzzled, since his good brother signaled him, he naturally complied, not out of any fear of being unable to win!
Yu Tianheng approached and saw You Xing's handsome face, which had begun to mature after several rounds of Yi Jin Fa Sui.
Having undergone multiple transformations, You Xing now possessed an otherworldly charm, and even the proud Yu Tianheng couldn't help but feel inferior, followed by a strong sense of vigilance and rejection.
No matter how calm Yu Tianheng was, he was still just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. In front of a girl he liked, especially one he had yet to win over, he would naturally feel defensive and hostile towards someone of the opposite sex who looked better than him.
The words he had prepared in advance turned into a cold, hard statement...
"This place does not welcome you. Unauthorized personnel please do not intrude into others' territory; do you not realize you are causing trouble for us and other staff?"
Hearing this, You Chen turned his head and smiled at Dugu Bo: "Uncle Dugu, he says we are unauthorized personnel."
Huh?
"Uncle Dugu?"
Yu Tianheng frowned, sensing something was off, and looked at Dugu Bo. As he observed the unique attire that showcased personal style, he gradually felt a sense of familiarity.
"Wait, Tianheng!"
Dugu Yan finally reacted, hurriedly stepping forward, hesitantly and in shock asking, "You... you can't be my grandfather, can you?"
Dugu Bo couldn't help but snort, turning his head and saying, "I saw it; this brat just came to stand up for you. So, do you also think I'm unauthorized personnel?"
Seeing this proud demeanor and familiar tone, Dugu Yan immediately confirmed Dugu Bo's identity.
Although she didn't know why her grandfather suddenly looked so young and handsome, that blood bond feeling was unmistakable!
She quickly rushed forward, hugging Dugu Bo's arm, shaking it and acting cute to comfort him: "Oh, isn't it because you suddenly became so young and handsome, Grandpa? Don't say Tianheng, even I didn't recognize you at first! It's all a misunderstanding!"
Yu Tianheng quickly apologized to Dugu Bo as well.
"Misunderstanding is one thing."
At that moment, You Xing's voice rang out again. He looked at Yu Tianheng and coldly said, "But you can't just come here and question us without understanding the truth? A glimpse can reveal the whole picture. Such reckless behavior can easily provoke those you shouldn't mess with, bringing unnecessary trouble and danger. Uncle Dugu, I think rather than letting Sister Yan Yan stay in such a circle, it would be better for her to join my teacher. I believe this would be more beneficial for her development."
