After concluding his training, Chen Fei, aided by the spiritual ore, had reached the threshold of the Half-Step True Spirit Master realm, though he had yet to make the final breakthrough.
At the same time, with the help of the Void Sky Cauldron, the strength of his physical body had reached unprecedented levels. This enhancement far surpassed the innate strengthening ability of the Ironclaw Rock Eagle.
At this moment, purely in terms of physical strength, he felt he could easily overpower an ordinary Half-Step True Spirit Master.
While physical strength itself did not directly translate into a significant increase in combat power, it greatly enhanced his ability to endure attacks.
Compared to Chen Fei’s gains, Su Ran’s improvement was even more substantial.
The phantom of a phoenix exuded an overwhelming presence, making it evident that Su Ran’s strength had now surpassed his own.
“My dear, what level of a True Spirit Master do you think you can contend with now?” Chen Fei couldn’t help but ask.
“A Fourth-Grade True Spirit Master should no longer pose a threat to me. Of course, that’s assuming I have someone to protect me while I prepare my attacks,” Su Ran replied with a gentle smile.
Su Ran’s bloodline was exceptionally powerful, and her cultivation method was unique. However, her biggest drawback was that, due to her bloodline not being fully awakened, every time she cast a full-powered spell, she needed time to gather energy—leaving an opening for enemies to exploit.
Hearing this, Chen Fei was utterly shocked.
If Su Ran said a Fourth-Grade True Spirit Master was no longer a threat, it meant that her full-powered attack was already strong enough to rival a Sixth-Grade True Spirit Master.
“Impressive!” Chen Fei couldn’t help but give her a thumbs-up. It was clear that the Phoenix Bloodline was incredibly powerful, boasting an extremely high energy conversion efficiency. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have improved at such a staggering pace.
“Still far from enough,” Su Ran shook her head, still feeling the immense pressure. After all, the one threatening her was a Thousand-Stage Spell Master.
With the secret realm now open, their enemy would undoubtedly enter as well—and likely in the higher levels, beyond the third or fourth floor.
If Ye Chenxing fully recovered, his Thousand-Stage Spell Master abilities would allow him to crush even a Ninth-Grade True Spirit Master.
Such strength was enough to dominate not only the entire Yellow Mist City but also all the experts who had entered the secret realm.
Chen Fei noticed Su Ran’s concern and reassured her, “No rush, we’ll take things step by step. When the time comes, we can also enter the third and fourth levels.”
Su Ran smiled and nodded. “The third and fourth levels might not be enough. Only by reaching the fifth or even the sixth level can we hope to stand a chance against Ye Chenxing.”
“The fifth and sixth levels?” Chen Fei was surprised. According to Lu Yijun, very few had ever managed to reach those levels.
However, Su Ran’s confidence in reaching them was not unfounded—after all, she carried an ancient Phoenix Bloodline inheritance.
“I will fully support you,” Chen Fei declared.
As the mist dispersed, everything became visible.
With Chen Fei’s spiritual feline senses, he quickly detected a nearby opportunity for a breakthrough.
Meanwhile, Su Ran, using only her eyes, spotted three different breakthrough opportunities in the area.
“Chen Fei, you should attempt your breakthrough first,” Su Ran said, offering the opportunity to him. Since she wasn’t limited by realm constraints, she only needed the appropriate resources to continue accumulating power until her bloodline was fully awakened.
“Alright,” Chen Fei accepted without hesitation. To help Su Ran awaken her bloodline completely, he needed to become stronger.
Before him was a flower bud as white as jade, tightly closed, exuding pure spiritual energy. Upon closer inspection, intricate patterns could be seen running from its base to the tip of the bud.
This unidentified flower was clearly more precious than the Golden Fruit and the Wanluo King Flower. It was a natural treasure for breakthroughs, having absorbed the purest spiritual energy from the ore beneath it.
Plucking the flower, he held it in his palm and activated the Ten Thousand Dao Cultivation Method.
The Void Sky Cauldron within him began to rotate, and under the cultivation method’s guidance, the entire flower was rapidly refined into pure energy that merged into his body.
As this energy entered the Void Sky Cauldron, it trembled violently, and under the power of the cultivation method, it radiated an intense brilliance.
At that moment, Su Ran, who had been standing by his side, suddenly saw a dazzling golden light erupt from Chen Fei’s body—forming the image of a massive cauldron that enveloped him entirely.
“What is this?” Even Su Ran, despite her vast knowledge, was slightly taken aback by the sight.
“A protective golden light?”
Su Ran frowned, unable to confirm whether the golden glow surrounding him was truly the legendary protective golden light.
“No, it shouldn’t be!” She quickly shook her head, dismissing the thought, though she couldn’t quite explain what she was seeing.
“What exactly is Chen Fei’s background?” Su Ran narrowed her eyes, trying to pierce through his secrets. A crimson glow flickered in her pupils, layer upon layer, as she attempted to analyze his essence.
“Strange, even I can’t see through him.” Su Ran was truly surprised. The red glow in her eyes gradually faded.
At that moment, the golden cauldron light around Chen Fei’s body abruptly contracted. Almost immediately, his aura surged wildly.
As his energy continued to rise, Su Ran seemed to hear an ancient, solemn bell tolling in the distance.
In the next moment, a shadowy ancient cauldron emerged from Chen Fei’s body—it was the exact shape of the Void Sky Cauldron.
“A cauldron?”
“A weapon soul?”
Seeing this, Su Ran’s expression showed a trace of disappointment for the first time.
She had initially thought that Chen Fei, as a peerless genius among Spell Masters, might possess a faint trace of a bloodline inheritance.
Even if his bloodline was weak, once she fully awakened her own, she could refine and enhance his bloodline, allowing him to potentially rise to the pinnacle of this world.
However, to her dismay, Chen Fei had not awakened any bloodline inheritance at all—severely limiting his potential to become a true overlord of this realm.
Even though he had awakened a weapon soul, there were clear differences in their hierarchy.
Generally speaking, Beast Souls were superior to Weapon Souls, and Weapon Souls were superior to Object Souls.
For instance, the top geniuses of the Qinling Sect all possessed Beast Souls without exception.
Of course, evaluating potential purely by the type of soul was not entirely accurate.
Even the weakest Object Soul could still possess limitless future potential—but cases like that were extremely rare, perhaps one in ten thousand.
“Without a powerful soul as a foundation, Chen Fei’s future path will be far more difficult,” Su Ran thought, feeling a tinge of regret for him.
In her eyes, Chen Fei was simply born in the wrong era. If he had been born in ancient times, with his unparalleled talent as a Spell Master, his future could have been boundless.
Unaware of Su Ran’s disappointment, Chen Fei was fully immersed in the joy of his breakthrough.
