Tangible and Insubstantial, Breaking Through the Mustard Seed — The Second Awakening of the Martial Soul
After some time had passed, Yuhao slowly opened his eyes again. As he carefully sensed the changes occurring within his body, a trace of uncontrollable ecstasy flashed through his eyes.
Not only had his innate talent and physical foundation undergone earth-shaking changes, but his qi and blood power had surged several times compared to before. If he had not forcibly suppressed it, the second seal restraining the Golden Dragon King would likely have been shattered directly.
"You made the right choice."
Yuhao spoke calmly, and the ones he was addressing were naturally the immortal grasses scattered throughout the valley.
"You should swallow the Wang Chuan Qiu Shui Dew as soon as possible. Compared to the Strange Velvet Tongtian Chrysanthemum, I can feel that it will bring you the greatest improvement."
The Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin responded in a gentle voice.
Yuhao nodded inwardly in agreement. At present, the Spirit Eyes were his primary martial soul. In addition, he had long cultivated the Purple Demon Eyes. Inside his Sea of Spirit resided the spiritual origin of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, as well as fragments of spiritual origins he had absorbed over time from countless heaven-and-earth treasures that enhanced mental power.
All of this caused Yuhao's mental strength to increase at a speed that was in no way inferior to the strengthening of his physical body.
If measured by the standard realms recorded in Douluo Academy's ancient texts, his spiritual cultivation had already stepped into the Spirit Realm, allowing him to truly control and utilize his mental power for combat.
"If my judgment is correct, once I swallow this Wang Chuan Qiu Shui Dew, my mental power should undergo another leap. Perhaps I can directly reach the realm of being tangible and intangible."
Yuhao muttered softly to himself.
He knew very clearly that in his original trajectory of fate, the Spirit Eyes martial soul had undergone its second awakening precisely because of consuming the Wang Chuan Qiu Shui Dew. At that time, his spiritual power had reached the state of tangible and intangible, while the Purple Demon Eyes had broken through to the Mustard Seed Realm.
For Yuhao now, this would be nothing short of a complete sublimation.
It was precisely because of this that Yuhao was so eager to consume the Wang Chuan Qiu Shui Dew.
Although he was only at rank twenty at the moment, and his total soul power and raw mental reserves were not as great as those of his original self at that time, Yuhao still possessed unwavering confidence.
After all, whether it was his physical foundation, bloodline strength, or the number and quality of treasures he had absorbed, none of them could be compared to his former self.
Without any further hesitation, Yuhao opened his mouth and swallowed several crystal-clear dewdrops condensed upon the Wang Chuan Qiu Shui Dew.
The instant the dewdrops entered his mouth, the originally vibrant autumn grass withered at an astonishing speed, because all of its medicinal essence was concentrated within those few drops.
The Wang Chuan Qiu Shui Dew was extremely easy to absorb. Almost the moment it entered Yuhao's body, it seemed to vanish without a trace.
Naturally, Yuhao understood that it had not truly disappeared, but had instead perfectly fused with his body.
Soon after, a refreshing coolness spread throughout his entire body. This cool sensation flowed along the meridians of his limbs and slowly surged toward his brain.
Because this immortal dew specialized in nourishing spiritual power and the eyes, Yuhao felt no worry at all.
When the cool sensation poured into his head, Yuhao felt as though he had immersed himself in a clear spring on a scorching summer day, an indescribable comfort spreading throughout his being.
His eyes, in particular, felt as if they were being washed by the purest mountain spring water, causing an intense sense of clarity and pleasure.
Immediately afterward, the coolness gradually transformed into a gentle warmth. Not only did it fail to bring any discomfort, it instead continued to nourish his eyes and spiritual power.
At this moment, earth-shaking changes occurred within Yuhao's Sea of Spirit.
The Sea of Spirit transformed into a far more brilliant purple-gold color, signifying that Yuhao had achieved nearly perfect control over his spiritual domain. Even the gray light particles formed from the residual consciousness of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Electrolux, which resided within the Sea of Spirit, were now firmly under his command.
"This is spiritual evolution!"
Witnessing this scene, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm instantly understood what kind of tremendous opportunity Yuhao had encountered.
"Little Yuhao, now I finally understand why you came here in the first place. This Wang Chuan Qiu Shui Dew has directly allowed you to reach the realm of tangible and intangible. You're only eleven years old, with soul power at rank twenty, yet you've reached a level that many Titled Douluo may never touch. I estimate that before long, your spiritual power will even begin to condense into substance."
Yuhao's total spiritual reserves might not yet rival those of Soul Douluo or Titled Douluo, but the quality of his spiritual power had already reached the same tier—or even surpassed it.
This left the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm utterly astonished. More than anyone else, he hoped Yuhao would grow stronger.
At this moment, a deep and ancient voice suddenly echoed within the Sea of Spirit.
"I never expected that someone so young would possess such spiritual attainment. Even throughout my long existence, I have never seen a prodigy like this."
"Old fellow, you finally woke up. Get out quickly—this is my territory. Yuhao is my person as well. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being impolite."
The moment he heard this voice, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately recognized its source. It was the same gray particle that coexisted with him in Yuhao's Sea of Spirit.
The Holy Law God of the Undead—Electrolux.
"Haha, a mere little bug dares to be so arrogant," Electrolux said calmly, his tone filled with disdain. "If I were at my peak, I could crush you with a single finger. Even now, with only a sliver of consciousness remaining, you are still not qualified to oppose me."
How could the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm tolerate such humiliation? He immediately launched an attack toward Electrolux.
However, no matter how he mobilized his spiritual power, he was unable to erode even a trace of Electrolux's remaining consciousness, let alone expel it from Yuhao's Sea of Spirit.
"Little insect, conserve your strength," Electrolux said calmly. "If you accidentally damage this child's Sea of Spirit, it won't benefit either of us."
Hearing this, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately stopped. He also knew that Electrolux was telling the truth.
"Old guy, I'll let you off for now," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said coldly. "But if I ever discover that you intend to harm Little Yuhao, I'll destroy you even if I have to self-destruct my spiritual origin."
Electrolux paid no attention to the threat and replied indifferently,
"I'll say this once. Since I've already merged into this child's Sea of Spirit, I can't leave even if I wanted to. So I care about his safety no less than you do."
Thus, the two reached a temporary truce.
Yuhao was naturally aware of everything happening within his Sea of Spirit, but he had no time to pay attention to it.
Because the transformation brought about by the Wang Chuan Qiu Shui Dew was far more than just the evolution of his spiritual power.
The Purple Demon Eyes were breaking through to the Mustard Seed Realm, and his true martial soul was undergoing its second awakening.
When the final trace of medicinal power from the Wang Chuan Qiu Shui Dew completely fused into Yuhao's pupils, he slowly opened his eyes.
The world before him had undergone a fundamental transformation. Beyond merely seeing the surface of all things, Yuhao could now perceive their essence—vitality flows, soul power origins, and even subtle energy fluctuations.
He could even extrapolate future changes from these details.
This was the third realm of the Purple Demon Eyes—Mustard Seed.
At the same time, Yuhao's pupils changed as well. A second purple pupil appeared within his eyes.
Double pupils.
This was the symbol of the White Tiger Duke's bloodline, and it also marked the complete second awakening of Yuhao's Spirit Eyes martial soul.
