Chapter 776: The Terrifying Strength

Shocked! Everyone was shocked! Four thousand points signified the peak of the Spirit Abyss realm. One would then have the opportunity to strike above the Spirit Abyss realm in the future.

What was the Spirit Abyss?

When one entered the Spirit Abyss realm, one’s spirit would act like an abyssal prison. If the spirit was the world, then the upper boundary would be heaven while the lower boundary would be hell! Should one have such a potent spiritual power, one would also possess a legendary spirit soul that acted as the foundation. One could fuse with a spirit soul of any level in this realm, even orange spirit souls and red spirit souls could be fused together. If one fused with an orange or red spirit soul, then one’s power would only be at the Spirit Sea realm. However, if one did not have an orange or red spirit soul, it was possible to fuse with a maximum of five spirit souls of any color. Normally, the Spirit Abyss realm was considered the limit for humans.

Nonetheless, the lights continued to be illuminated. Moreover, the lights were illuminated in an incessant manner. This signified that Tang Wulin had yet to achieve his limit.

“Beep!” All of a sudden, the machine beeped once. Soon after, the lights that were illuminated extinguished simultaneously to everyone’s surprise.

Just as everyone thought that Tang Wulin’s test had ended, a purple light illuminated at the side.

“Spirit Abyss!” The words escaped Wu Zhangkong’s mouth as his face was filled with shock. His own spiritual power had yet to break through to the Spirit Abyss.

What was the Spirit Abyss? It was akin to a sonic barrier. The realm above the Spirit Abyss was a wholly different level that transcended the realm below it.

Tang Wulin’s cultivation base had already broken through to the Spirit Abyss without his knowledge. This was simply unbelievable!

Yellow lights were illuminated in succession. The test was continuing, let alone ended.

They were no longer in shock but numbed by what they were witnessing. A rank-47 Soul Ancestor with his spiritual power cultivation base at Spirit Abyss. Even a spirit-type soul master’s spiritual power may not necessarily achieve such a level.

They had guessed that Gu Yue’s spiritual power would have achieved the Spirit Abyss. Yet, it was never proven. As Gu Yue’s martial soul was elemental control, she required an extremely high amount of spiritual power.

Yet, Tang Wulin was an assault-type soul master. At most, he could be considered a control-type soul master. How could his spiritual power achieve such a high level? Everyone was cultivating the Purple Demon Eyes similarly! Why was there such a large disparity?

Six thousand points!

Seven thousand points!

The lights continued to be illuminated without any sign of pausing. Tang Wulin’s spiritual power was already doubled that of Xu Xiaoyan’s. Even Wu Zhangkong was stunned.

He had never witnessed such a situation in the academy. It would certainly be as rare as phoenix feathers or a unicorn’s horn for anyone to exceed Tang Wulin’s spiritual power cultivation base.

To Wu Zhangkong’s knowledge, the person with the strongest spiritual power cultivation base in the entire academy was the current generation’s Sea God Pavilion Master, the ultimate Limit Douluo Atlas Douluo Yun Ming.

Elder Yun’s spiritual power had already achieved the legendary Divine Origin, but he was also the only Divine Origin in Shrek Academy.

Even the Light Dark Douluo’s spiritual power cultivation base was still in the Spirit Domain realm with the exception of Elder Yun.

The Spirit Domain and Spirit Abyss differed only by one step. Twenty thousand points of spiritual power was the Spirit Domain’s threshold.

Tang Wulin’s spiritual power had exceeded seven thousand points by now, and he was only eighteen years old. This signified that he could certainly access the Spirit Domain realm in the future.

Wu Zhangkong also knew that spiritual power was not so important during the preliminary cultivation of a soul master who did not possess a strong spirit-type martial soul. However, it would be a determining factor during the Title Douluo stage. One’s spiritual power must be strong in order to develop further during the Title Douluo stage. The stronger one’s spiritual power was, the higher the possibility for one to be elevated.

A Limit Douluo would require the Divine Origin spiritual cultivation base. This was the critical factor that caused many Hyper Douluos to be stuck in their cultivation.

Light Dark Douluo did not manage to achieve that stage precisely because her spiritual power could not break through the bottleneck of the Divine Origin realm.

The number of people possessing the Divine Origin spiritual cultivation base in the world today could be counted with just the five fingers of a hand.

The Godking Realm spiritual power that was one realm higher existed during the Divine Realm era but had now ceased to exist. It was said that one’s spiritual power could never achieve that realm unless one became a God.

The rate at which the lights were being illuminated had finally begun to slow down. The test was nearing its final stage. The light finally stopped at the twenty-eighth position.

One purple light and twenty-eight yellow lights.

“Seven thousand eight hundred points of spiritual power.”

Everyone had a parched sensation in their throats. Seven thousand eight hundred points! There were seven thousand eight hundred points in total!

They were all well aware of what seven thousand eight hundred points of spiritual power meant. It was the Spirit Abyss realm! He had more than just entered the Spirit Abyss realm. In fact, he was not that far away from the midterm of the Spirit Abyss realm.

Tang Wulin could not hear anything since he was wearing the helmet. He removed the helmet after being prompted by the beep. He looked at his comrades with stunned expressions as, one by one, they each stared at him. Feeling puzzled, he could not help asking, “What’s going on with all of you?”

“Seven thousand and eight hundred points!” Xie Xie gestured with his hands at Tang Wulin. His left hand gestured the number seven while his right hand showed eight.

Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment before he said, “Oh.”

“Oh? That’s all? Aren’t you surprised, big brother? Your spiritual power has achieved a total of seven thousand eight hundred points. You’re in the Spirit Abyss realm!” Xie Xie spoke excitedly.

Tang Wulin spoke, “Gu Yue has already achieved the Spirit Abyss realm since earlier. This is nothing.”

They were all speechless.

Wu Zhangkong looked at him with a burning gaze. “So you know that you’ve broken through to this realm earlier?”

Tang Wulin nodded. “I seemed to feel it when I broke through. It was as if the entire world became crystal clear. Furthermore, my perception was elevated tremendously. It was like I had walked through a door into another world.”

Wu Zhangkong was stunned for a moment. He nodded toward Tang Wulin after a long while. “Thank you.” There was no doubt that Tang Wulin’s description of his experience was extremely helpful to Wu Zhangkong.

Tang Wulin asked, “So, what’s next?”

“Strength Test it is,” Wu Zhangkong answered. Even though he was expressionless, the fluctuation of his gaze revealed that he was not as calm as he appeared at the moment.

The strength tester’s size exceeded Tang Wulin’s expectation. It appeared like a hill with over thirty impact points on its surface which were of different sizes and shapes.

Wu Zhangkong explained, “The strength test is a comprehensive test so it’s capable testing with extreme accuracy. For example, you can test the strength of your palm or fist, the charging impact of your shoulder, and also your battle armor and weapon strength. I suggest that you carry out the punch strength test first, then test again with your battle armor on.”

Tang Wulin was raised by Wu Zhangkong all along. No one understood Tang Wulin’s abilities more than he did.

“Sure,” Tang Wulin responded.

The observers fell back a few steps instinctively. Everyone was more curious of Tang Wulin’s strength than his spiritual power. Tang Wulin even regarded Yuanen Yehui’s powerful strength as mild. So, how powerful was his strength actually?

The punch target appeared. Tang Wulin moved his body as he began to warm up with blood essence power surging in his body. His eyes began to exude a faint golden radiance.

“Begin!”

Tang Wulin’s body spun half a circle following Wu Zhangkong’s shout. He then threw a punch at lightning speed.

Right hook!

“Boom…” The entire target shook violently once, then the hill-like equipment shook violently for a few times before it was stable once again.

“Strength of right hook punch: One hundred and four thousand kilograms.” The electronic voice announced the result!

Even Tang Wulin was stunned. ‘A hundred and four thousand kilograms? What kind of metric calculation was that?’

‘A thousand kilograms equals one ton. A hundred and four thousand kilograms mean that my punch exerts a force of a hundred and four tonnes.’

The entire scene was silent, Wu Zhangkong included.
