After the experiment concluded, Xu Tianhao gained a clear understanding of his current strength.
The gains from this endeavor far exceeded his expectations, leaving him extremely satisfied.
Xu Tianhao's current strength had already ascended to a new level.
Once Electrolux awakened, Xu Tianhao would be able to use Electrolux's power to thoroughly refine the blade of life from the inside out.
At that time, the blade of life would truly become his life-bound carving knife, and he would fulfill his wish of obtaining the gold of life.
On the other hand, it was only a matter of time before the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm fell into its slumber.
Once it woke up, Xu Tianhao could use its spiritual Origin to increase the age of his spirit rings.
With the gift of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, the age of his spirit rings could step-by-step reach the most perfect Realm, laying the firmest foundation for his future path.
Everything was moving in the best possible direction.
What filled his heart with even more anticipation was that he had now successfully obtained his fifth spirit ring, officially entering the Ranks of a five-ring Spirit King.
According to the plan, he and Long Aotian could finally begin preparing for the second awakening of their Body Martial Souls!
This was the most important transformation in the life of a Body Martial Soul Spirit Master, and a shortcut for them to surpass ordinary Spirit Masters and reach the Peak.
After Xu Tianran left, Xu Tianhao and Long Aotian set off together in a tacit understanding toward Poison Immortal's courtyard.
Poison Immortal had just finished his Cultivation and was sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat, slowly breathing in and out.
The Qi around his body was restrained to the extreme, as if he had merged with his surroundings.
It wasn't until he sensed the arrival of the two that he leisurely opened his eyes, a flash of understanding and gratification passing through them.
"Tianhao, you've come," Poison Immortal said with a smile.
He looked at the two disciples walking in, a heartfelt smile appearing on his face.
"Master."
"Master."
Xu Tianhao and Long Aotian bowed in unison.
"I felt a very strong battle fluctuation outside just now. It seems you've gained quite a lot this time."
Poison Immortal's gaze fell on Xu Tianhao, his smile deepening.
Xu Tianhao didn't hide anything. With a slight smile, he recounted his experiences in the Star Dou Great Forest and the gains he made after sparring with his elder brother, Xu Tianran.
His narration wasn't just a report; it was a review, showing Poison Immortal his growth and planning.
Poison Immortal listened very seriously, nodding occasionally or falling into deep thought.
After a long while, Poison Immortal spoke softly, his tone carrying a hint of emotion and gratification: "Good, good, good!"
He said the word 'good' three times in a row, showing the excitement in his heart.
"As expected of my, Poison Immortal's, disciple! To have such heaven-defying Opportunity gathered by you one by one. Tianhao, your Master is proud of you!"
"Master, you flatter me," Xu Tianhao said modestly.
Afterward, he didn't waste time on pleasantries and went straight to the core purpose of their visit. He looked at Poison Immortal with burning eyes, his tone solemn and expectant:
"Master, now that both Senior Brother and I have successfully made a Breakthrough to the fifth spirit ring, our foundation is sufficient."
"According to our previous plan, can we start preparing for the second awakening of our Body Martial Souls?"
Hearing this, the smile on Poison Immortal's face faded slightly, and his eyes became serious.
He nodded slowly: "Mm, the accumulation of your foundations is indeed completely sufficient."
"With your talent, plus so many years of tempering, the second awakening will definitely be no problem."
Speaking to this point, Poison Immortal's tone shifted, carrying a hint of expectation as he said: "However, I still want to give you a reminder."
"The Ranks of the second awakening, from low to high, are divided into four levels: Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold. With your talent, the lowest you can reach is the Silver Rank."
"Silver Rank?"
Xu Tianhao and Long Aotian glanced at each other, a flash of pleasant surprise in their eyes.
"That's right, the Silver Rank," Poison Immortal said slowly. "Once you reach the Silver Rank second awakening, your future path is basically set."
"As long as no major accidents occur, you are almost certain to become a Titled Douluo, standing at the tip of the pyramid of the Spirit Master's world."
"But if you can go one step further and reach the legendary Gold Rank second awakening..."
Poison Immortal's voice paused slightly, his gaze filled with infinite longing and pride:
"That means you have the hope of challenging the Limit Douluo Realm."
He paused and began to explain the various Ranks of the second awakening in detail to his two disciples.
"Each Rank of the Body Martial Soul second awakening represents a qualitative leap."
"The vast majority of Body Martial Soul Spirit Masters can only reach the Black Iron and Bronze levels in their entire lives. This is already the limit for most people."
"A Black Iron Rank second awakening can increase your strength by about thirty percent."
"It doesn't sound like much, but at a critical moment, this thirty percent is the difference between life and death."
"As for the Bronze Rank, it can increase it by sixty percent. This increase is already enough for you to hold an absolute advantage in battles of the same Rank, and you'll have more confidence to challenge those of a higher level."
"And for you two, the minimum is Silver Rank."
Poison Immortal's gaze became sharp: "A Silver Rank second awakening directly increases strength by one hundred percent! It's equivalent to gaining double the combat power out of thin air! What kind of concept is that?"
"This means that with the strength of five rings, you could explode with the combat power of six rings, or even seven rings! Becoming a Titled Douluo in the future would be a natural progression."
"As for the Gold Rank..." Poison Immortal's tone was filled with awe:
"That is a miracle among miracles. So far, I am the only one in the entire Body Sect who has achieved it."
"The boost brought by a Gold Rank second awakening is determined by the characteristics of the Spirit, ranging between one hundred to three hundred percent."
"But its biggest difference from the previous three Ranks," Poison Immortal emphasized each word, "is that in addition to the massive surge in strength, your Body Martial Soul will also gain a unique, brand-new extra ability!"
"For example, me." He lightly lifted his right hand. Above his palm, a wisp of barely perceptible jade-green mist quietly emerged and then quickly vanished.
"My Body Poison was the extra ability I obtained during my Gold Rank second awakening."
"This is one of the world's top life-bound poisons; there is no antidote, and no one can block it."
"It allowed me to transform from a pure martial artist into a true 'Poison-Arts Martial Artist'."
"If I cannot defeat an opponent with my fists and kicks, I will unleash this Body Poison, catching them off guard and making them fall in defeat unknowingly."
"Even though Mu En has reached the Limit Douluo Realm, he is still unable to purge the life-bound poison my elder brother left in his body back then."
"This is the terrifying aspect of the Gold Rank second awakening."
Xu Tianhao and Long Aotian listened with shaking hearts, the light in their eyes growing brighter.
They finally understood why the second awakening was the ultimate pursuit of a Body Martial Soul Spirit Master.
It wasn't just an increase in strength; it was a complete reshaping of the Spirit's Origin.
Poison Immortal continued: "As for the legendary Divine Rank Awakening, it is known as the Divine Rank Third Awakening, which is the third Awakening of a Body Martial Soul Spirit Master."
"According to the records of the Body Secrets, to reach the Divine Rank Third Awakening, one must first reach the Rank 99 Limit Douluo Realm."
"A Body Martial Soul Spirit Master must Cultivate their own essence, Qi, and Spirit to the Peak to have a sliver of a chance."
"Once the Divine Rank Third Awakening is achieved, it is possible to break through Rank 100 and achieve a Divinity."
"However, the Divine Rank Third Awakening is too ethereal; so far, it has only been a legend."
"But even if one cannot reach the legendary Divine Rank Third Awakening, the second awakening of a Body Martial Soul Spirit Master can bring an immense boost."
"Master, I understand." Xu Tianhao took a deep breath. "No matter what, I will aim for the Gold Rank second awakening!"
"That's right! We also want to become powerhouses like Master!" Long Aotian also clenched his fists, his eyes full of fighting Spirit.
Poison Immortal looked at his two vibrant disciples and nodded with satisfaction, a gratified smile appearing on his face:
"Good! With this ambition, there is hope!"
"Starting tomorrow, I will personally act as your Protector to help you complete this most important transformation of your lives."
"I believe that before long, a legend belonging to you will surely be left upon this continent!"
