21 Chapter 21 Destructive Energies of Void, Great Improvement.

Rayne returned to his dormitory with a pleasant, yet, complicated mood.

He's in a good mood because of beating up Yu Xiaogang and completing the system quest. While he didn't actually hurt Tang San, Rayne didn't mind it too much.

After all, he had sensed a faint energy, belonging to Tang Hao, on Tang San. Tang Hao most likely left this faint undetectable energy on Tang San for protection. The faint energy itself is like an emergency signal meant to alert Tang Hao, when Tang San takes a certain amount of damage, or comes into contact with soul power above level 70.

While there's no fear or concern, Rayne didn't want to get entangled with Tang Hao before he could become able to activate his teleportation technique.

With his Infinity skill, Tang Hao is incapable of hurting him.

But…

Tang Hao is a ticking time bomb. This guy has no qualms in mass killing.

The Clear Sky Hammer is a martial soul that is very capable of mass destruction. Tang Hao has more than one criminal records of mass killing, as far as Rayne is aware.

So, even if for the sake of the innocent people around him, Rayne has to stay low until he has a guaranteed method to deal with Tang Hao.

Rayne didn't sense Tang Hao anywhere near Nuoding city. Tang Hao went somewhere else, most likely to the hidden cave, where the Blue Silver Empress Ah Yin's reborn seedling is planted.

While Rayne was in a good mood because of the quest rewards, he was also in a complicated mood due to Xiao Wu.

After observing her, Rayne knew that this girl was only acting that she was fascinated and attracted to him. At the same time, he understood that this transformed soul beast was anything but stupid.

She has no affection for him, or rather humans in general, at the moment. She even has great hatred for humans. She's a soul beast at the end of the day.

Rayne is quite familiar with some tactics that women use to control men to their whims. He is an aspiring harem seeker. So, he has researched and learned to be wary of women that will ruin him.

Xiao Wu gave him the same vibe now. Rayne has no idea how, but Xiao Wu seems to have felt something special about him, and is trying to create a bond between them. And she seems to want to create a relationship with him where he will become dependent on her to do things.

But, if you think about it, it was the same with Tang San in the original work. It was always Xiao Wu who took exaggerated initiatives like sharing the quilt and bed, etc. It always somehow strengthened the frail acquaintance to a strong relationship in a very short amount of time.

Tang San, too, has a special aura to himself. Which is most likely the case why Xiao Wu chose to get close to him.

Rayne's special aura is most likely superior to Tang San, which is why Xiao Wu is targeting him now.

Of course, this sort of scheming from Xiao Wu is only in the early stages. By the time of entering Shrek academy, she had lost any sense of caution and scheme. She had become a brain dead reckless girl, who goes around provoking trouble. She became a girl obsessed with Tang San and even almost forgot about her true origin.

Rayne can't achieve the same as Tang San.

At least, unless he can manage to get Xiao Wu into a so-called cringy 'brother-sister' relationship and slowly brainwash her with the so-called brotherly or family affection. Like what Tang San achieved in the original work.

And to point, Rayne isn't particularly interested in Xiao Wu.

He's hundred percent sure that if he chooses Xiao Wu, he's not gonna have a harem.

Women like Xiao Wu, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue are extremely proud of themselves and are quite self-centered. Even Ning Rongrong, who is said to have princess issues, is far behind the before mentioned women.

Despite her not outright saying it, Xiao Wu considers herself the princess of Soul Beast clan, and even often make it seem like she represents the entire soul beast clan.

She has two 100,000-year Super Soul beast little brothers(lackeys) who would do anything for her. So it's kind of understandable where her outrageous sense of self importance comes from, despite her being a mere low tier rabbit soul beast.

Xiao Wu obviously won't be able to accept sharing a man with other women. And Rayne has no intention of abandoning his desire for harem.

And…

The main reason why he felt complicated is because…

He saw an cluster of blood red ominous energy within Xiao Wu with his Six Eyes. This energy is completely undetectable by normal means.

Yesterday, he couldn't properly identify or sense what that energy was. But after the skill training simulator, Rayne now has a lot of knowledge and experience.

The blood red cluster of energy was without a doubt, divine energy.

And this blood red energy with ominous evil feeling…

Rayne has a guess as to who that divine energy belongs to.

'To think those theories about Asura God being the mastermind behind Tang San would be true…' Rayne thought with a grimace.

'But if Xiao Wu's appearance at Nuoding academy was Asura God's arrangement, then why would Xiao Wu target me instead of Tang San? Is Asura God not monitoring her at the moment, hence she's going off the arrangement?'

'I'm not sure if Infinity can block attacks from gods who can casually tear through space. I'd better not take unnecessary risks.'

'Well, whatever. I'll deal with it when it comes to it.'

After thinking about it, Rayne decided to wait for a few more days. Giving up without trying made him feel unsettled.

Anyway, regardless of her character, Xiao Wu is a top beautiful woman when she grows up.

After thinking about it, conquering Xiao Wu isn't that hard compared to women like Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue. These two women have extremely strong sense of control and are very proud. For Rayne who wants a harem, he's not very optimistic about pursuing these two women from Spirit Hall. Not to mention, these two women have some serious brain problems.

Especially Bibi Dong!

Xiao Wu is still quite manageable. If he teaches her well, then getting her into the bag is quite possible.

But Rayne still intends on observing her for a few more days.

If it is seen that Xiao Wu is influenced by Asura God and is an important chess piece of the said god, then Rayne needs to rethink his dealing with Xiao Wu.

…

Rayne set up a presence concealing barrier and some other barriers around him.

After that, he sat cross legged on the ground and took deep breaths, adjusting his condition to an optimal level.

Then, he took out a black hard substance from his Gate of Ashburn.

This is the 10,000-year whale glue!

Rayne placed a bowl in front of him. Then he let the whale glue float in front of him and coat it with his soul power.

When his soul power came into contact with the whale glue, a sizzling sound was produced. The whale glue was being corroded by his soul power. If this continued, the whale glue will be destroyed in minutes.

It's hard to believe that a level 10 spirit apprentice's soul power is capable of such a feat.

Rayne quickly converted the nature of his soul power to fire, and the whale glue started to melt.

Rayne is capable of harnessing the power of elements thanks to the attribute affinity from Kāma martial soul and also his vast knowledge base of all sorts of martial souls and soul beasts.

After being heated by the high temperature fire, the hard whale glue melted into a soft gelatin like substance and fell into the bowl.

Rayne picked up bowl with the hot melted whale glue, and a strong fishy smell struck his nose.

"What a nasty smell. I hope the taste is not awful as well."

Rayne muttered under his breath, then swallowed the melted whale glue.

The hot gelatin like whale glue entered his body. Rayne used a special technique to maximize the effects of whale glue. At the same time, he started to practice his Records of Primordial Evil' Technique.

There was still a bit of progress left for the completion of the first stage of the technique. He hopes to use this whale glue to achieve the small percent of the remaining progress of the technique.

As the heat spread throughout the insides his body, his soul power started to circulate the energy of whale glue through his meridians, muscle and bones.

An hour later.

Rayne could feel some improvement in his physique. At the same time, his soul power had reached a saturated state, indicating the completion of the first stage of Records of Primordial Evil' technique.

He clenched his fist and felt the increase in strength.

"The increase in physique is not too great and there's hardly any improvement on soul power. I guess I was expecting too much from a 10,000-year Whale glue. Still, I did complete the first stage of my cultivation technique."

"Let's start condensing my first soul ring."

Rayne closed his eyes, feeling his Six Eyes martial soul more closely. To be more precise, he was trying to understand how the Six Eyes condensed it's own soul rings. This aspect was even registered as a special innate ability, so there must be something special about it.

Rayne himself has mastered the method of condensing soul rings thanks to the skill simulation card. It is also a natal soul ring that can grow with the spirit master, and give spirit master the most matching soul skills.

As he focused on his Six Eyes, the martial soul resonated greatly and slowly, silver blue light spots started to gather above him. Gradually, it turned into a silver blue soul ring.

The moment the silver blue soul ring was formed, a black portal was formed in the center of the soul ring. Many destructive energies started to pour out of the portal, and was fusing with the silver blue soul ring.

"This is… I see. So that's how it is."

Rayne had a look of realization.

"The supreme attribute of my Six Eyes martial soul is Infinity. I didn't think my martial soul would harness the power of infinity concept so literally. It opened a gate to the infinite void so that I can absorb the destructive energies of void of strengthen myself."

"Normally, no lifeform is capable of coming into touch with these destructive energies of void, or even hope to absorb it for their own use. These destructive energies represent the most primordial concept of destruction. But now, I am able to use it without any harm to myself because of Six Eyes."

Rayne started to absorb the destructive energies as much as possible, and the silver blue soul ring was glowing more brighter as time went.

The destructive energies that is inaccessible to even the strongest of Gods in this world, is now being absorbed by Rayne for his own benefit. As soon as the destructive energies come out from the black portal, they turn into much calmer state, allowing Rayne to absorb these destructive energies.

At the same time, he was running his Records of Primordial Evil' Technique at high speed, refining the excess destructive energies.

His Records of Primordial Evil' Technique was created on basis of the most primordial chaos energy. The impossible 9-turn energy is the equivalent of this primordial energy, when the cultivator manages to reach level 150 and above. With each advancement in energy level, the nine-turn energy is approaching the level of primordial chaos energy.

Because it is a technique created based on the primordial chaos energy, this technique can absorb any forms of energy to progress. While there are some limitations depending on the level of energy and Rayne's own body made of flesh and blood. It is still more than capable of utilizing all forms of energy to a certain extent.

The destructive energies from the void is one of the most primordial representative of destruction. These destructive energies are of great benefits to Rayne and would greatly progress his cultivation technique.

After three hours.

Rayne finally finished the process of condensing the soul ring. He held on as much as he could, and absorbed as much energy as his current physique allowed.

His Records of Primordial Evil' technique has advanced to the completion of second stage. It would've advanced to the third stage if he had access to more energy.

His body had been greatly strengthened due to the absorption of the higher dimensional destructive energy. His blood has underwent a great change. At the very least, he can clearly feel his affinity to Space-Time has increased.

His spiritual sea has also gone through great changes. Due to being affected by the energy of void, his spatial awareness has increased greatly.

He could feel that his Blue Silver Grass has also evolved greatly. Although it's appearance doesn't seem to match that of Blue Silver King or Blue Silver Empress. The veins of his Blue Silver Grass has turned into a gray-silver color, which is in contrast to the golden veins of Blue Silver Empress.

[Blue Silver Grass - Unbound: Your martial soul, Blue Silver Grass has broken away from its racial limitations, due to the influence of high dimensional energy.

As long as you can accumulate enough Blue Silver Grass bloodline power, your Blue Silver Grass martial soul will ascend to Divine-level martial soul, Blue Silver God Tree.]

His Blue Silver Grass now has divine potential.

The black portal also disappeared after the soul ring was fully condensed.

"So, I don't have permanent access to the infinite void. It makes sense I suppose. If I had access to something like that, I wouldn't even need to cultivate the spirit master cultivation system."

At the same time, Rayne also understood some of the aspects of his Six Eyes martial soul.

Every time he tries to condense a soul ring for his Six Eyes martial soul, it opens up a black portal, allowing Rayne to access infinite destructive energies of void. This also allows him to generate an ultra-limit soul ring that he could bear.

It's almost like a god-given soul ring.

Rayne looked at himself and gauged his current strength.

"The age of the condensed soul ring… it's about 19,000-years-old. My soul power has reached level 18. I never imagined that I'd be able to get soul power improvement from soul rings after cultivating this insane technique. The chaotic destructive energies of void… as expected of the energy closest to primordial chaos energy."

"If I could get permanent access to the dimensional void, then I'd reach the pinnacle of this world in a matter of few months. Well, I'd most likely have permanent access to it after I attain God-hood."

Rayne was quite satisfied. At the same time, he decided to cultivate the blue silver grass fully first, to increase his physical endurance to its highest. Then at level 90, he will start to condense the remaining soul rings of the Six Eyes martial soul.

Rayne felt that, condensing the soul rings of Six Eyes so early is a complete waste. Especially when you get access to infinite high-dimensional energy.

Because of cultivating Record of Primordial Evil' technique, the resources on Douluo continent is simply not enough to support him to ascend to divine level (above level 100).

The energy and resources needed to cultivate from level 90 to level 99 is astronomical. Almost fifty times as much as what you need to cultivate to level 90.

So, if Rayne can manage to reach level 90 somehow, then he can totally rely on these self-condensed soul rings of Six Eyes to even directly reach level 100, if he can condense maximum limit soul rings.

Rayne even felt that it was a waste to condense the first soul ring of Six Eyes so early.

He then looked at the first soul skill of Six Eyes.

First Soul Skill – Heaven-Blessed Vision :[Increase the ocular prowess of Six Eyes by 100% upon activation. Enhances the effects of all following active soul ring skills of Six Eyes by 50%.]

"This is a good skill. It's not an exaggeratedly powerful skill. It's more of a foundation for the future skills. Not bad, I like it."

…

After that, Rayne used his Kāma martial soul to absorb the superior grade Soul Ascension Pill and fully reached level 20. It is most likely even level 22. But because there is no second soul ring, the exact level is not clear.

Of course, Rayne isn't going to condense another soul ring of Six Eyes. From now on, he will first, fully cultivate his blue silver grass martial soul to Nine Soul Ring.

Now, Rayne no longer gives a damn about Tang Hao. He is able to use the Space-Time Transportation technique of Kāma martial soul. He can leave this place whenever he wants now.

After meditating for a while and stabilizing his realm, Rayne set his sight on the three Supreme level Life Simulation Cards.

Especially the Douluo World bound simulation card.

Author Note: Sorry for not updating for a while. Been very busy. I'll be somewhat occupied this week as well. But I'll try to keep a steady update.

The main plot will start after two or three chapters with the simulator.
