"Senior, I bear no ill will toward the Breaking Clan, and I genuinely need the Yang family spear techniques to advance my cultivation. As for whether I would pass them on to others, I swear on my spirit: if I ever share these techniques, may my spirit shatter, and may I die a terrible death."
With that, Ignaz summoned his Blood Thunder War Lance and gripped it tightly, immediately startli...
2025-07-29 06:02:56 +0000 UTC View PostIgnaz looked at the young man from the Breaking Clan with deep sympathy. “Sigh! You make a very valid point.”
Whether it was the Heaven Dou Empire or the Star Luo Empire, the laws they’d developed over the years only applied to commoners and low-level spirit masters. Powerful spirit masters often operated above the law in both empires. Spirit Hall, on the other hand, did an excellen...

The crystal ball Ignaz took out wasn’t the low-grade kind used during spirit awakening ceremonies—it was the advanced type used for academy admissions, capable of measuring soul power up to Level 30.
But wasn’t it common knowledge that once someone hit the Level 10 bottleneck without a soul ring, their cultivation slowed dramatically? So how coul...
2025-07-29 06:01:57 +0000 UTC View PostFour months later, in the deep waters west of the Western Stone Kingdom, Ignaz stood on the ocean's surface, far from any island. Gripping his Blood Thunder War Spear, he watched warily as a Tyrant Thorn Sea Urchin—around ten thousand years old—approached from not far ahead.
He coiled his back legs, gathering power. The soft seawater beneath his feet kicked up waves as he shot forward...

In an instant, the entire Blue Silver Forest was blocked off by a web of Blue Silver Grass that filled the sky. Beyond that, thousands of Blue Silver vines blotted out...
2025-07-22 09:53:20 +0000 UTC View Post"Oh no, it's spotted us!"
Although Dean Shui and the others didn't know why they'd been exposed so quickly, it definitely had something to do with the Blue Silver Grass surrounding them. Any soul beast species with significant years of cultivation could produce variants, and these variants had the potential to become kings of their species.
Since this forest had so much Blue Silver ...
2025-07-22 09:52:48 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Ignaz and the other two approached, the child heard them coming. He turned around and quickly stood up. Upon seeing the village chief and Dali, he immediately took off running.
"This kid, what's with him—"
Just as Ignaz was wondering why this talent-challenged child seemed so shy, Dali spoke up from beside him.
"Aman is shy and has low self-esteem, especially around me ...

"Dad—"
Tang San walked toward the inner room but found no trace of Tang Hao. Old Jack handed Tang San a letter instead.
"Little San, this is what your father left for you. Why don't you come eat at my place tonight? Tang Hao's never given you a decent meal, not once in all these years."
Thinking of Tang San's previously frail appearance,...

Over a dozen five or six-year-old children gathered in the stone house, curiously staring at Ignaz lying on the stone bed.
"Grandpa Village Chief, why hasn't this outsider woken up yet? How about I climb up and give him a pat?"
"Grandpa Village Chief, I need to pee!"

At this moment, Ignaz heard some chaotic voices ...
2025-07-22 09:50:11 +0000 UTC View PostThe twenty-plus ten-thousand-year soul beasts that had been lying in wait wouldn’t allow Ignaz to escape their jaws. Several of the closest ten-thousand-year soul beasts immediately charged forward to attack.
These ten-thousand-year soul beasts didn’t treat Ignaz the same way they had treated the Thunder Dragon Fish—now they just wanted to quickly kill the human who had caused the T...
2025-07-22 09:41:38 +0000 UTC View PostSure enough, as Ignaz desperately sprinted forward, he glanced back and saw that the soul beast being hunted by the pack was covered in wounds, blood constantly streaming from its body. What caught his attention was its dragon head and fish body, surrounded by crackling blue electric currents.
"Could this be a Fish Dragon Beast?!"
But after thinking it over, Ignaz frowned—somethin...
2025-07-22 09:41:15 +0000 UTC View PostAfter giving it some thought, Dean Shui decided to accompany Li Xuanyue back to the family estate. After all, the spirit ring Bing'er needed to obtain was extremely important—there couldn't be the slightest mistake in the process.
"Fine then. This way, certain people won't get too carried away while I'm gone. Besides, I haven't been back in five or six years anyway, so I might as well m...
2025-07-22 09:40:46 +0000 UTC View PostIgnaz didn't hold back any information, sharing everything he knew about the phoenix-like soul beast with Li Xianyue in detail.
"I see. There's another possibility—it might be in a place where Skyfin Grass grows extremely well, namely that Skyfin Forest."
Dean Shui was delighted to see that the martial soul awakening had found a perfect solution. He glanced at Ignaz and Shui Bing'...

2025-07-22 09:39:51 +0000 UTC View Post“The Skywater Clan?”
Though Ignaz had heard of the Skywater Clan in Skywater City, he still feigned confusion.
After all, he’d spent all his time near Vast Sea City and hadn’t ventured inland. Some things were better left unsaid—what you know is one thing, but sometimes it’s smarter to act like you don’t.
Hearing the question, Director Shui patiently explained: 2025-07-22 09:38:24 +0000 UTC View Post
"Let's welcome the God-Slaying White Demon and the Human-Faced Phantom into the arena!"
As the host spread his arms wide, Ignaz walked onto the soul-fighting platform alongside a graceful woman with a stunning figure. The woman exuded an alluring aura that had its own unique charm.
"It's been ages since I've seen the Human-Faced Phantom. Look how much she's grown!"
"You got a ...
2025-07-22 09:37:47 +0000 UTC View PostThe spectators were surprised, but their faces also lit up with excitement. Given Scarred King's death, they were now filled with anticipation for the Emperor-Slaying White Demon—that is, Ignaz. At the betting registration desk, almost everyone was placing their bets on the Emperor-Slaying White Demon. At least betting on him guaranteed a safe profit. Though the earnings weren't as much as be...
2025-07-22 09:36:44 +0000 UTC View PostJust as the host's words fell, thunderous cheers and support erupted from the spectator stands. The vast majority of onlookers were emotionally invested in their betting choice—Scarred King—while those supporting Ignaz were few and far between.
Across from him, Scarred King spread his arms wide, gazing up at the dome ceiling, arrogantly basking in the crowd's support. In the next mome...
2025-07-22 09:36:10 +0000 UTC View PostAlthough Ignaz had never been to the black market before, he'd picked up bits and pieces of intel over time. Everyone knew the black market was where criminals from both empires and outlaws who had crossed major powers on the continent ended up.
The goods here were even more diverse than those in Vast Sea City aboveground. Even the slave trade—which was explicitly outlawed by both empir...
2025-07-22 09:35:35 +0000 UTC View PostThe fierce rivalries between the major factions didn’t concern Ignaz. After catching up with Headmaster Shui, he returned to his village, only to find night had already fallen.
Back home, he fired up the forge and began dismantling some broken soul tools he had collected—especially those with intact core arrays.
Being his first serious attempt, Ignaz lacked experience, and even ...
2025-07-22 09:35:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe nobleman who had just announced his bid reluctantly lowered his bidding paddle. Collecting it was one thing, but spending four thousand gold soul coins on a damaged soul device? He might as well have used that money to hire a low-level Soul Monarch as a bodyguard—that would have been far more practical.
Other VIPs murmured among themselves, but none dared to raise their paddles. See...
2025-07-22 09:34:33 +0000 UTC View PostIgnaz packed up his things and headed toward the auction hall in Vast Sea City. Ever since he had gathered enough Gold Soul Coins, he had been on the lookout for soul devices and special items.
Just as Dean Shui had said, having a millennium-level second soul ring was an extremely eye-catching trait. Although he could choose not to reveal the soul ring during battles when participating in...

Ever since his battle with the Haipo brothers, he’d been considering this perfect method of body tempering. Using the intense water pressure generated by the high-speed movements of certain sea soul beasts, he could achieve the ideal effect of strengthening his body. Not only would his skin become rougher and tou...

“Dean, Director Lu, how’s Haibai doing?”
“You pushed your soul power too far before. You need rest. But don’t worry—his body’s been cleared of the rust poison. He’s out of danger.”
Dean Shui looked at Ignaz, who was sitting up halfway and shared the good news. Smiling, he added, 2025-07-14 22:53:08 +0000 UTC View Post
Not long after, to the eager anticipation of the students, Ignaz arrived at the dueling grounds behind the dormitory building.
The arena was a large circular platform, about sixty or seventy meters across. At its center was a fifty-meter-wide pool, roughly eight meters deep. By the time Iggy arrived, the entire perimeter was already packed with spectators—including more than a dozen ins...
2025-07-11 04:18:19 +0000 UTC View PostDirector Lu and Dean Shui both turned to glance at the slightly awkward Ignaz. In perfect unison, they said:
“Let’s leave the choice to young Iggy—he can decide who he wants as a mentor.”
Ignaz was at a complete loss. Did all-powerful people on the mainland instantly want to take on a disciple the moment they spotted a talented kid?
A good student seeks out a famou...

“Three levels? That’s insane! You absorbed a soul ring over 200 years old above your level, and your power still skyrocketed like that? That’s freakishly fast!”
Director Lu clapped Ignaz on the shoulder, clearly shocked. He hadn’t expected that just by absorbing a soul ring beyond his...
