Mo Yu slowly traced his fingers over his forehead, feeling the lingering coolness and faint fragrance that remained.
"Sigh, a five-year promise. I never thought I would make such a childish commitment," Mo Yu shook his head, sighing.
Although he was confident he could reach the Dou Huang level, breaking through to Dou Huang within five years seemed full of uncertainties, adding a bit of pressure on him.
However, pressure often brings motivation. Thinking of the Sea Heart Armor that Yun Yun had gifted him before parting, Mo Yu felt warmth in his heart.
He held the metallic inner armor in his hands. Strangely, instead of being cold as expected, it exuded a slight warmth. He squeezed it, and it felt as soft as silk, which was extremely unusual.
At the same time, a faint fragrance lingered around his nose.
Mo Yu slowly unfolded the inner armor. The five claw marks left by the Amethyst Winged Lion King were clearly visible.
"I'll have the chance to remove these claw marks in the future. After all, being a blacksmith is my main profession," Mo Yu murmured, running his fingers over the uneven claw marks.
After examining the Sea Heart Armor for a moment, Mo Yu mimicked Yun Yun's actions, removing his outer robe and slipping on the inner armor before putting his clothes back on.
Wearing the inner armor didn't feel as awkward as he had imagined. Instead, it felt smooth like silk.
"If I had this inner armor during my fight with Mo Yin, I wouldn't have been in such a sorry state."
"With this matter settled, it's time to break through Dou Shi."
Recalling the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder that had just devoured the bottle of Amethyst Essence, Mo Yu felt a bit heartache. This stuff was far more precious than a magic core.
Moreover, now that he had tamed the young Amethyst Winged Lion King, once it broke through to the fourth rank and consumed the Amethyst Essence, it could leap into the fifth rank. By then, Mo Yu would have a Rank 5 magical beast at his command, one capable of rivaling a Dou Wang.
However, since things had come to this, Mo Yu had no regrets. Besides, if it weren't for the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder releasing the Vermilion Bird's might after devouring the Amethyst Essence, he wouldn't have been able to successfully tame the young Amethyst Winged Lion King.
With thoughts of breaking through, Mo Yu returned to the cave from earlier.
As he left the forest, the fiery sunset in the sky had mostly set. He gazed at the sun for a long time before letting out a lonely sigh and turning to disappear into the trees.
As Mo Yu left, he didn't notice the woman in a snow-white dress standing on a hidden peak. She stood quietly, only letting out a sigh of relief when she saw Mo Yu safely exit the forest.
She watched the boy's figure gradually disappear before sighing softly again. Finally, she turned away, her azure wings fluttering lightly as she transformed into a green shadow, flying swiftly out of the Magic Beast Mountain Range.
Returning to the cave, the solitude felt strange compared to the past few days when they had lived together peacefully. Now, alone again, Mo Yu felt slightly uncomfortable.
Shaking his head to rid himself of the loneliness, he approached the stone bed. There were still faint traces of blood, and Mo Yu couldn't help but touch his nose.
He sat down cross-legged, forming the cultivation hand seal with both hands, and let his mind sink into his body.
As Mo Yu entered his cultivation state, the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder began to feedback energy continuously. Eventually, Mo Yu's body became like a black hole, absorbing the surging Thunder Soul energy flooding into him.
With his mind immersed, Mo Yu quickly guided the Thunder Soul energy. After devouring the bottle of Amethyst Essence, the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder was fully satiated, and the feedback energy was massive.
Despite Mo Yu's efforts to control the overwhelming energy, it was still difficult to suppress it completely due to its terrifying scale.
This was why Mo Yu hadn't immediately consumed a Rank 5 magic core. The feedback from the Thunder Soul energy would either explode him or be wasted.
Fortunately, this wasn't Mo Yu's first time absorbing Thunder Soul energy. Under his careful guidance, a portion of the energy circulated through his meridians, refining into pure Dou Qi, which was then infused into the silver-white cyclone within him.
With each surge of powerful Dou Qi injected, the previously calm cyclone sped up its rotation.
Under Mo Yu's control, the Thunder Soul energy scattered throughout his body was rapidly being drawn into the cyclone, which greedily absorbed it.
As the Thunder Soul energy continued to wash over him, Mo Yu noticed that his meridians and bones were becoming stronger and more resilient.
A formidable aura was faintly exuding from the boy's body.
After absorbing countless drops of Thunder Soul energy, the silver-white cyclone within him had shrunk to the size of his palm.
After greedily absorbing the Thunder Soul energy for a while longer, the high-speed spinning cyclone suddenly halted. For a moment, it remained still before reversing its direction.
The Thunder Soul energy, now spread throughout his body, permeated his meridians, bones, and flesh. Mo Yu noticed that the Thunder Soul energy was gradually being absorbed into them.
At the moment when the suction force disappeared, Mo Yu, who was sitting cross-legged in the cave, suddenly opened his eyes. Instantly, his black hair billowed, and his clothes fluttered, as a fierce and powerful aura several times stronger than before erupted from his body!
"Dou Shi, breakthrough!"
Feeling the surge in his strength, Mo Yu smiled. However, he didn't immediately end his cultivation because he could feel that the remaining Thunder Soul energy could still help him push further!
With that thought, Mo Yu formed the cultivation hand seal again, guiding the immense Thunder Soul energy to cleanse every part of his body.
Under his meticulous control, the remaining Thunder Soul energy was continuously absorbed, becoming the nutrients for his further breakthrough.
Hours passed, and the boy had maintained this posture for half a day. Upon close inspection, an increasingly powerful aura was slowly emerging from him.
As night fell, and the moonlight poured into the cave, illuminating the boy's handsome face, he suddenly opened his eyes. At the same time, an even stronger aura burst forth!
Two-Star Dou Shi!
