After successfully completing his second awakening, Xu Tianhao's overall strength surged once again.
Setting aside the Gold-level second awakening skill [Dual God Descent], simply activating the second awakening provided him with a three-hundred-percent boost to his mental force.
His current methods primarily relied on mental force; under such a terrifying boost, Xu Tianhao's combat power could directly go off the charts.
With his current Level 54 Cultivator cultivation and a Gold-level second awakening, he was fully capable of going head-to-head with a powerhouse at the Seventh Ring Soul Sage level.
Coupled with the fact that he could copy the Martial Soul True Body, Xu Tianhao's current combat power was actually no longer inferior to a Spirit Saint powerhouse.
Because his spirit power would be continuously replenished as long as he opened his Domain, he had absolutely no need to worry about spirit power consumption.
Without the worry of spirit power consumption, he was sufficient to match a Spirit Saint head-on.
With the addition of two Clones of the same Rank comparable to Ultimate Spirits, Xu Tianhao's strength could no longer be described as merely terrifying.
This was a true Prodigy.
Throughout the Sun Moon Empire's history of over ten thousand years, no one had ever been able to reach this step.
The only one with this kind of super-tier kill was Tang San ten thousand years ago, who used the Yama Invitation to insta-kill the Seventh Ring Shinian while at the Four-Ring Soul Ancestor Realm.
But Tang San relied on external objects, whereas Xu Tianhao relied on his own raw strength.
The two were completely on different levels.
Just as Xu Tianhao was sharing his gains with Poison Immortal, another figure leapt out from the undersea tides; it was Long Aotian.
At this moment, Long Aotian looked excited: "Master, I succeeded, a silver rank second awakening."
He then saw Xu Tianhao: "Tianhao, you really are one step faster than me. What about you? What level is your second awakening?"
Xu Tianhao smiled upon hearing this and spoke indifferently: "It's just a mere Gold-level."
Hearing the words Gold-level, Long Aotian was instantly dumbfounded, though he quickly recovered.
Xu Tianhao was a Prodigy; Long Aotian felt there was no need to compare himself with a Prodigy.
Long Aotian congratulated him: "As expected of you, Tianhao. It seems the only candidate to inherit Master's mantle is you."
Poison Immortal stepped forward and patted Long Aotian's shoulder: "Aotian, you don't need to be discouraged. Although you didn't reach a Gold-level second awakening, this talent is already top-tier within the Sect."
"Work hard in the future. With your Foundation and talent, Titled Douluo is only your starting point, do you understand?"
Long Aotian nodded heavily: "I understand, Master. Tianhao is a Prodigy; I won't get hung up on competing with him."
Xu Tianhao also smiled: "Don't worry, Senior Brother. In the future, your Junior Brother will have your back."
Long Aotian smiled knowingly: "Alright, when the time comes, remember to have the Crown Prince Big Brother appoint me as a Great General."
Subsequently, Long Aotian shared his own improvements. For Long Aotian, a silver rank second awakening was already very strong.
His physical constitution and strength had both received massive boosts, and the age limit for his future sixth spirit ring had also greatly increased.
Judging by Long Aotian's talent, he was only a sliver inferior to Poison Immortal.
In the future, as long as his Foundation was good enough, he would also have the chance to attempt a hundred-thousand-year seventh spirit ring.
As for Xu Tianhao, with the boost brought by his Gold-level second awakening, plus the million-year Origin of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, he could use it to increase the age of his spirit rings.
Xu Tianhao felt he had a chance to push for a hundred-thousand-year sixth spirit ring; once successful, his talent and strength would surge by another level.
But those were matters for later. Right now, the most important thing was to adapt to the abilities of the Gold-level second awakening and make his Foundation completely stable.
Poison Immortal waved his hand: "Alright, you two brothers have gained much this time. Let us first stabilize your Realms, and then return to Bright Capital."
Long Aotian and Xu Tianhao looked at each other and replied in unison: "Yes."
Poison Immortal then took the two of them directly to the sea to find suitable Spirit Beasts as opponents.
With Poison Immortal acting as a Protector, even hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts did not dare to act out.
Thus, Xu Tianhao and Long Aotian were extremely arrogant, going up to pummel almost every Spirit Beast they encountered.
When they truly couldn't win, Poison Immortal would naturally step in.
Because there were so many sea Spirit Beasts, Xu Tianhao and the other didn't care about preserving lives, basically engaging in life-and-death combat.
Only in this way would the Spirit Beasts explode with their full strength, allowing the two of them to experience the most authentic combat.
After drifting on the sea for two months like this, Xu Tianhao and Long Aotian had killed a total of over twenty ten-thousand-year sea Spirit Beasts between them.
After two months of high-intensity combat, the two had also completely adapted to the power of the second awakening.
Furthermore, the spirit power of both had increased by one Rank due to this tempering.
Xu Tianhao was now at Level 55, while Long Aotian was at Level 54.
Moreover, the Luck of the two could be said to be explosive; twenty-three ten-thousand-year sea Spirit Beasts had dropped three ten-thousand-year Spirit Bones for them.
Even Poison Immortal was shocked by Xu Tianhao's Luck.
It wasn't that he hadn't killed Spirit Beasts to obtain Spirit Bones before, but in the past, he might kill fifty ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts without necessarily getting a single Spirit Bone drop.
But what about Xu Tianhao?
Twenty-three Spirit Beasts had dropped three!
Was this the kind of Luck a normal person could have?
But surprise aside, Poison Immortal was still happy for Xu Tianhao's Luck.
He was his own disciple after all; having this kind of Luck was also beneficial to them.
Among the three Spirit Bones, the highest level was a fifty-thousand-year Demonic Orca left leg bone, while the other two were twenty-five thousand years and thirty thousand years respectively.
Xu Tianhao and Long Aotian had combined their strength to kill that Demonic Orca, and both had suffered significant injuries.
Fortunately, Poison Immortal was guarding from the side, otherwise the two would have been finished in that battle.
A fifty-thousand-year Demonic Orca could explode with strength in the ocean that was even enough to challenge ordinary Titled Douluos.
Even with Poison Immortal secretly lending a hand, being able to kill an Demonic Orca with fifty thousand years of cultivation...
...was enough to prove the terrifying combat power of Xu Tianhao and Long Aotian.
With the three Spirit Bones in their possession, Poison Immortal brought Xu Tianhao and Long Aotian back to Bright Capital.
After returning to Haoyu Palace, Xu Tianhao directly took out the gains from this trip.
With three Spirit Bones placed before them, Xu Tianzhen, Xiao Hongchen, and the others' eyes went wide.
Xu Tianzhen patted Xu Tianhao's shoulder: "Hao Hao, didn't you go out this time for a second awakening? How did you bring back three Spirit Bones?"
Xiao Hongchen also looked pleasantly surprised: "Three ten-thousand-year Spirit Bones; that's equivalent to winning the All-Continent High-Level Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament championship again."
Saying this, Xiao Hongchen looked at one of the Spirit Bones and rubbed his hands: "And this thirty-thousand-year Golden Crystal Conch Right Leg Bone is a perfect match for me."
Hearing Xiao Hongchen's words, everyone laughed.
Xu Tianhao directly tossed the Golden Crystal Conch Right Leg Bone to Xiao Hongchen: "It was intended for you anyway, take it quickly."
Xiao Hongchen wasn't polite either, chuckling: "Many thanks, Your Highness. I, Xiao Hongchen, am willing to marry you to repay Your Highness's kindness."
Xu Tianhao felt a wave of disgust upon hearing this: "You're damn well repaying kindness with enmity!"
Everyone was amused by this scene.
Especially seeing Xiao Hongchen's smug look after getting a bargain, Meng Hongchen went up and gave him a kick!
Meng Hongchen showed no respect for her brother at all, saying with a look of disdain: "Marry him? Get lost!"
"Ouch, murder of an older brother!" Xiao Hongchen clutched the Spirit Bone and wailed loudly.
