Dragon Sovereign

Zhang Fan looked at the shocked old man and asked, "Can I cultivate the Soul Devouring Art now?"    

He had seen the martial spirit before, so it should be a top grade martial spirit. Not to mention now, the Saint rank martial spirit had already surpassed the Spirit level by several stages … … As for willpower, Zhang Fan being able to withstand such a terrifying pain while being in the middle of refining his soul, it was enough to prove how terrifying Zhang Fan's willpower was.    

Narrowing his eyes, Zhang Fan's lips curled up slightly. He stretched lazily and said, "Then let's begin." With that, Zhang Fan walked directly into the cave.    

Arriving at the cave where he used to refine souls, he flipped his left hand and the ancient scroll instantly appeared in his hand.    

Since he was the only one who had practiced this martial skill before, the later generation was either unable to meet the requirements, or they did not dare to try it. Thus, he did not know what sort of changes would occur during this period of time.    

"Let's begin!"    

He let out a light breath because Zhang Fan was feeling a bit nervous at the moment. When he let out his breath, it seemed as if he wanted to call out his nervousness as well.    

With this action, the power of the Purple Clouds technique within his body floated up and directly grabbed onto the scroll.    

The moment he held it, the scroll seemed to ignite, causing a blinding light to appear. The light then turned into a ray of light and entered Zhang Fan's body.    

After entering, it instantly separated, one went into his mind, the other went into his body, and started rushing forward without restraint. Immediately, Zhang Fan's entire body spasmed, and his brows furrowed, as he tightly clenched his teeth, not even allowing himself to make a sound. This was because the pain and the pain of a soul refining was on two completely different levels, if this was the willpower that was required, then it would simply be too weak.    

Ten minutes later, the guide in his body once again opened up a new circulation path in his body. This circulation path was exceptionally complicated, as it ran through the other meridians, at the same time connecting the Dantian and his Dantian, and after it was done, condensing in the Dantian's location, then immediately rushing towards the direction of the Martial Spirit. At this time, he could clearly feel a pain that came from his bones instantly spread throughout his entire body.    

Clenching his fists tightly, Zhang Fan's face contorted for a moment, and at that moment, he broke out in a cold sweat. This pain basically reached the same level as soul refining, but luckily, he did not last long, and after a while, the pain disappeared.    

Elder Huang, who was standing to the side, looked at Zhang Fan and let out a sigh. He knew that Zhang Fan would definitely be able to endure through this.    

Zhang Fan took a deep breath and felt the power in his mind tremble. It turned into countless pieces of information instantly spread out in his mind, and almost at the same time, his mind went blank. However, after recovering his strength, the information of the Soul Devouring Arts was immediately revealed.    

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Fan closed his eyes and started to read.    

The Soul Devouring Spell was divided into four layers. However, the first layer was currently revealed. According to the Soul Devouring Spell, once one reached the first layer's requirements, they would be able to enter it. Only then would the second level's requirements appear.    

Seeing this, Zhang Fan understood what was going to happen, and guessed that it would become more and more difficult later on. The master who created this art was afraid that you would not be able to continue any further, so the first layer's requirements were revealed, and the first layer could only rely on Zhang Fan to swallow magical beast crystals, solid energy bodies, and some other heavenly treasures. When it reached a saturation point and formed into a Soul Devouring Pill, the second layer would automatically open.    

Because of the scrolls now, he had laid down all of his foundation and started to operate according to the steps of the first level of the technique. From the very beginning, he guided the martial arts and entered the circulation route for his first attempt.    

In the beginning, Zhang Fan appeared to be very cautious.    

Martial power circulated through his body along the meridians. Ten minutes later, a cycle passed. At this time, Zhang Fan could clearly feel that his Martial Spirit had undergone a slight change. His soul also slightly trembled.    

At this time, Zhang Fan turned his right hand, and a Rank 5 Magic Beast crystal instantly appeared in his palm. He was slightly nervous, and once again took a deep breath, and his martial power instantly followed the circulation route, causing his soul to tremble. The crystal in his palm immediately emitted a gorgeous light, and a wave of extremely pure power instantly entered his palm, entering into his body, and finally entering his martial spirit through his meridians.    

The Martial Spirit had clearly increased in strength by a bit, and both of his eyes had become bright. In one breath's time, he had completely absorbed all the crystals. The crystals had turned transparent, and with a gentle pinch, they turned into powder and disappeared into the air.    

The Soul Devouring Spell seemed to have been refined by now, but at the moment, he had only just reached the first layer, and the heaven-defying nature of it hadn't fully manifested yet. But Zhang Fan didn't feel anything, and the first layer was actually quite pleasurable, as he could absorb the magic crystals and directly replenish them. Think about it, if you were to fight with your opponent, you would have consumed almost all of your magic crystals, so suddenly absorbing them would be equivalent to having a strong shield.    

Therefore, the existence of the first level, in his eyes, was also a very abnormal existence. However, the restriction was an existence of the same level.    

After tidying his clothes, Zhang Fan stood up and raised his head to look at the old man, "Old Huang, the first level of cultivation has been completed."    

"I see." Elder Huang nodded his head, a satisfied smile on his face. Right now, he could completely see what kind of glory Zhang Fan would reach in the future.    

"You've wasted quite a bit of time. Why don't you continue training in the Magic Beast Forest for the next few days?" Elder Huang slowly said.    

"Hm!" Zhang Fan clenched his fist. His body had undergone a tremendous change. If he were to meet a Class 6 Magical Beast, he might be heavily injured, but he definitely wouldn't run away in a sorry state.    

Elder Huang flipped his right hand and a dozen bottles of pills appeared before him. He looked at Zhang Fan and said, "The pills in here are Grade 3 Healing Pills. There are ten in each bottle. You can handle it."    

"Thank you, Elder Huang," Zhang Fan said sincerely.    

"These two bottles are called Tianxuan Pills. Each bottle contains five Tianxuan Pills. The Tianxuan Pills can instantly awaken your potential and allow your energy to reach a high level. However, the side effects are very strong." "Be careful when you use it." Elder Huang took out another two bottles of pills and passed them to Zhang Fan.    

After Zhang Fan received the pill, a trace of emotion could be seen on his face as he said, "Elder Huang …"    

Elder Huang waved his hand with a smile and said, "You don't have to thank me. First of all, you're my old friend's disciple." Second, I am very pleased to see you grow up. "At this point, Elder Huang's expression fluctuated slightly, and his originally smiling face instantly disappeared. Turning to Zhang Fan, he said," When you truly grow up, I also have something to ask of you.    

"Elder Huang, speak. I will definitely do what I can," Zhang Fan said solemnly.    

"Right now, he is still not in your reach." Old Huang waved his hand. This was because not only was that power mysterious, it was also far too strong. Zhang Fan was completely out of reach at this point in time. "When you really grow up, I'll come find you."    

Seeing that Elder Huang didn't have any intention to say anything, Zhang Fan could only lightly nod his head.    

"Don't pressure me too much. It doesn't matter even if you can't reach it. These days, I've seen you slowly grow, bit by bit. It's as if you've seen my child, and I feel unusually gratified." Elder Huang once again revealed a smile. He lightly patted Zhang Fan and said, "Don't give yourself too much pressure. You're already very outstanding."    

"Okay." Zhang Fan nodded his head heavily.    

"Alright, let's go!" The old man waved his hand and turned around. During this period of time, he had gotten used to the existence of this young man. Suddenly, Zhang Fan left, but he was still a little not used to it.    

Zhang Fan lightly nodded his head and kowtowed in front of the old man. If it wasn't for something else, the old man might not have been able to kowtow to him at this moment …    

The old man glanced sideways at Zhang Fan, and when he saw him prostrating himself in front of him, an indescribable feeling rose up in his heart. He did not refuse, but instead turned his head away once again.    

After he finished his kneeling, Zhang Fan stood up and took a deep breath. His lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end. He turned around and walked outside.    

The old man turned around and looked at Zhang Fan, who was slowly disappearing in front of his eyes. His face revealed a trace of melancholy and an indescribable sense of comfort.    

Half a month later, in the depths of the Magical Beast Forest, there was a large tree that could only be embraced by five or six people. Zhang Fan leaned against it, a thick violet light enveloping his entire body.    

At this moment, his body appeared to be in an even more miserable state. Many of his injuries had already been scabbed, and some were even completely healed. This indicated that Zhang Fan had once again experienced something during this half a month.    

Zhang Fan's body was already very strong, but there were still so many wounds on his body. It was clear that he had experienced an intense battle in the past half month. However, this was all worth it. In this half month of cultivation, his beast spirit had gone from the first rank of a master to the fifth rank.    

This kind of strength was something that he had to struggle against countless times on the verge of death to achieve. After all, his body's defensive power was strong, and he was still fighting against a magical beast of the sixth layer, so Zhang Fan would still choose to retreat if he couldn't win against them. After all, this wasn't a one-on-one battle, and perhaps after defeating Zhang Fan, the next magical beast of the sixth step would arrive in this dangerous forest at any time, so he had no choice but to choose a better path for himself to retreat to.    

He slowly opened his right hand, and the Purple Dragon appeared in front of him. The Martial Spirit became denser, and after a while, a shattering sound resounded in his mind. The Martial Spirit also became denser, and when the Martial Spirit disappeared, Zhang Fan slowly opened his eyes.
