[Eternal Soul Cultivation]

[Rank: Celestial]

[Description: Among the heavens' mightiest Soul Cultivation techniques. Cultivators mastering it are said to temper their souls into those of true gods. This method grants comprehension of the Law of Soul's faint traces, while soul techniques from its practitioners are rumored to embody laws.]

"This…" Wang Ming felt somewhat speechless upon beholding another Celestial Rank technique, especially since this one enabled law comprehension.

'How can a technique so mighty appear in this lowly realm?' Wang Ming wondered. He understood well that this world sat at the bottom rung, much like realms in cultivation stories, whereas upper realms teemed with Pure Core Realm experts as plentiful as mortals in this place.

Having mastered the potent technique, Wang Ming perceived a fresh energy type mingling with spiritual energy. Without even beginning its practice, he identified it as soul energy.

He tried drawing in the soul energy, feeling novel power seep into his frame with a chilling refreshment. The scant volume drew a sigh from him. 'Seems I must improve the shop and obtain a better physique before truly taking in soul energy.'

"T-Tian Chenyu, you can already absorb soul energy?" Wang Ming turned to Du Hai, whose gaze fixed on him like he'd witnessed a phantom. Though puzzled, Wang Ming nodded.

Hiss—

Not just Tian Family members, but Du Hai himself now stared at him ghost-eyed.

'Heavens! It cost me years to merely detect soul energy, yet he senses and absorbs it in a flash!' Du Hai wailed inside.

"Disciple, do you know how long it takes someone to sense soul energy?" Du Hai inquired, prompting Wang Ming to shake his head, brow furrowed.

"Even with a high-ranked soul cultivation technique, it takes years to sense soul energy, not to mention absorb it. Even for me, who practices the Eternal Soul Cultivation technique, it took a year to sense soul energy and three years to start absorbing it," Du Hai stated, face taut.

"Ah…" Wang Ming at last grasped the reason for their stunned looks. Lips twitching, he offered only a rigid smile.

"Alright, make sure to arrive at the sect on time. Now leave us. Just seeing your face is making me doubt my own existence," Du Hai declared, shooing him with a wave. Awkwardly, Wang Ming departed.

Exiting the clan's meeting hall, Wang Ming proceeded to his living quarters.

Yet before nearing them, figures clad in Tian Family robes barred his way.

Wang Ming regarded the six obstructors in his path with calm demeanor.

"What's this?" he uttered, tone serene.

"Tian Chenyu, you bastard! I will prove to the others that I am the most talented Eternal of the Tian Family's younger generation, and you are trash!" Tian Yang glared at Wang Ming with venom.

Wang Ming steadily eyed his half-brother—yes, half-brother. Memories showed Eternals' wanton ways, his father included, having begotten many heirs. From a non-Eternal mother, Tian Chenyu had fortuitously awakened Pure Eternal Blood, securing his Eternal rank. His half-brother scorned that lowly origin and choked on the fact of his greater talent.

"And how exactly? You are complete trash, surrounding me with six other pieces of trash. Don't you feel any shame? My talent was proven publicly to be higher than your trashy talent," Wang Ming mocked.

"You! The audacity!"

His words enraged the six Eternals deeply. They'd never met anyone as arrogant as Tian Chenyu.

"Where does your courage come from, to dare insult all six of us when you are alone? Do you really believe we wouldn't touch you just because you have some talent? We can beat you black and blue and still not get punished," Tian Yang snarled fiercely.

"Get him!"

At Tian Yang's command, hand sweeping, the other six Eternals blurred from sight and encircled Tian Chenyu, faces twisted in malicious grins.

"Really… truly idiots…" Wang Ming shut his eyes; right then, all six assailants charged, fists and feet cocked.

"Eat my fist!"

Abruptly, his form dissolved into the shadows beneath him, leaving the onrushing attackers utterly dumbfounded.

.

"Wha—where did he go?!"

They scanned their surroundings in panic.

"Kak—!"

Wang Ming's hand clamped Tian Yang's throat, causing him to choke while he struggled desperately. Unable to sense the incoming attack, he couldn't block the technique at all.

"Get lost," Wang Ming uttered coldly, then flung him away like worthless garbage.

As Wang Ming started to leave, Tian Yang bellowed unwillingly, "Tian Chenyu, do you dare to fight me in the arena?" Wang Ming halted upon hearing him and sneered mockingly, "Even when you all ganged up on me, not a single hair was touched—yet you think you stand a chance one-on-one?"

His face flushed crimson with rage, Tian Yang shot back, "I got caught off guard by your bizarre technique. In the arena, we can unleash everything and battle to the death!"

The arena featured a revival system for fallen combatants, just like the one in the Wu Family training grounds.

"Fine," Wang Ming replied icily.
