Those who possessed a C-grade talent wouldn't have any problem breaking through to the Warrior Realm in normal circumstances.
However, Mu Suyin has heavily reminded Myah to hold on as long as possible.
With his ample soul force that is several times stronger than those with similar talent, the first breakthrough was especially significant.
If Myah could make good use of his advantage at this moment, it would undoubtedly help him close the gap when confronting others of higher talent in the future.
After all, those of higher talent weren't just valued only for their superior training speed. Their spirit energy is often thicker and more robust, not to mention their energy reserve, but the differences couldn't even be compared to one another.
Luckily for Myah whose yearned to travel throughout the Green-Wood Divine Continent in the future.
Under his grandma's repetitive reminders, he could entirely understand that his current soul force is his greatest help which could slightly make up for the gap of foundation.
Time ticked by quickly, and Mu Suyin was alerted.
"Looks like he has already begun." As Mu Suyin muttered in a muffled tone, her hand holding onto the wooden spoon stopped stirring the pot of mushroom soup.
"Hmmm..."
For a moment, a faint sparkle flickered in her eyes which is even darker than the blackness of midnight. Then, with a faint smile, she proceeded on tasting the mushroom soup.
"This needs a little more salt." She whispered as a slight frown emerged on her face.
Although Mu Suyin acted naturally with her kitchen works, it would be a lie if she said she wasn't worried.
However, she couldn't do anything other than spreading her soul sense and patrol the perimeter around the house to prevent any possible interruption.
While her strength is not what it used to be, this bit wasn't a problem.
The firewood crackled as Mu Suyin looks rather absentminded.
'It's entirely up to you. The longer you can preserve, the brighter your future would be.' Letting out a heavy sigh, Mu Suyin thought in her mind before adding a spoon of salt to the boiling pot of mushroom soup.
...
Back in the backyard,
Albeit the wind was a little cold in the early morning, Myah was sweating profusely under the steady apple tree.
Nom!
Nom!
Nom!
After keeping a distance from Myah, Bumpkin leisurely munching on its sour apple while watching him suffering from little to no interest.
As dumb as a Grass Horse might be, Bumpkin knows that Myah was going through something important hence it didn't dare to wake him up with its slimy saliva.
But, even after distancing more than twenty meters, Bumpkin could still feel a menacing glare somewhere from the kitchen.
Not feeling good, Bumpkin rolled its body a few more times away from Myah's direction.
When the scary feeling weakened, Bumpkin let outs a puff of relief.
Neigh!*
'It feels so much better!'
...
One hour passed, and the clothes on Myah's body were entirely soaked with cold sweat. Furthermore, the enormous sphere of spirit energy inside his soul sea has lost more than half its original size.
...
Two hours passed, Myah's delicate face was slowly losing its color. However, he manages to reduce the sphere of spirit energy to 3/10 of its original size.
...
Three hours passed into the stage of energy compression. Myah's face was pale. His organs were hurting, and he found it hard to breathe. Just the simple act of slight inhaling demanded a great deal of strength.
Myah felt that if he were to lose focus for just a split second, the sphere of spirit energy would explode without a doubt.
...
After four hours, red blood started to flow from his eight orifices.
The pain was indescribable, and Myah feels like he could be losing consciousness at any moment.
Perhaps, the blood flown from his empty eyes socket were tears of struggle, an all-out wrestle against fate.
'I...I can still hold on!' With his unique trait
At this point, hope and the desire for power to find his mother have become Myah's sole source of strength to continue to persevere.
...
The clock continues ticking.
It was unknown how much time has passed, but even with her heart tempered for hundred of years, Mu Suyin couldn't help but feel restless as she sat beside Myah and looked at him worriedly.
The steaming mushroom soup he couldn't wait to try this morning has long grown cold and deserted.
Myah has long surpassed his limit.
Accompanied by the final ray of daylight, the little boy falls into a deep slumber as his last strand of soul force dissipates. Even so, his tiny figure remained seated in its place like a motionless stone statue.
BOOM!
For a split second, the surrounding atmosphere trembles.
Something inside the sleeping Myah has finally awakened!
Although there was no wind, the vibrant green leaves of the apple tree rustled, and the stagnant water puddles simmered.
Within Myah's soul sea, the sphere of spirit energy that has condensed into the size of a fist vibrates fiercely.
With a crisp sound, it cracks!
With one crack followed by the other, the condensed energy shell could not take it anymore and instantly burst open.
Following the sound of an explosion, waves of raging spirit energy rush forth in all directions of Myah's soul sea.
As if colliding against an invisible wall, the waves of roaring spirit energy pushed and expanded Myah's soul sea to become more prominent. At the same time, it inevitably makes the invisible wall much tougher to support such abrupt expansion.
This process was quick, and after merely a minute, the size of Myah's spirit sea has grown to nearly twenty times its previous size. At the same time, the water-like spirit energy residing inside was also thicker and concentrated than before.
Suppose we were to compare the grown of Myah's soul sea against one with a B-grade talent with the minimum growth of twenty-five times.
The improvement of Myah's spirit sea was enormous.
Such miraculous result was due to Myah's abundant soul force and determination to not yield midway.
Although the little guy was still unconscious due to immense exhaustion, the moment his spirit sea finished its augmentation, countless strands of warm currents traversed through Myah's veins and fragile blood vessels as they significantly strengthened his mortal body.
And most of all, in the heart of the prior explosion inside Myah's soul sea. A small white sphere was formed due to the energy collision as it began to revolve around his green-colored Soul Origin Crystal.
It was a star!
The symbol of a One-star Warrior!
After going through such torturous experiences, Myah has successfully become an official cultivator, thus marking the inception of his thrilling adventures.
