The higher the quality of the Immortal Herbs and heavenly materials absorbed, the less likely they are to cause side effects. However, if they are not fully absorbed, a large amount of their medicinal power lingering in the body can cause blockages in the veins and instability in one's foundation!
Realizing this, Tang Wulin didn't hesitate at all and crazily started circulating his Soul Power, absorbing all the remaining medicinal power inside his body!
This way, even if he broke through continuously afterwards, his foundation wouldn't be shaken!
In the following days, Tang Wulin did just that, steadying his Soul Power while waiting for his companions to awaken…
…
Finally, after successfully absorbing all the heavenly materials, Xie Xie sensed the rapid increase in his soul power rank and couldn't help but laugh out loud…
"These heavenly materials are amazing; they actually allowed me to break through two levels at once. Now I'm also a level 97 Hyper Douluo, hahahaha!"
Tang Wulin immediately joined him, sincerely delighted for him, "Congratulations, Xie Xie, your strength has soared!"
Xie Xie paused for a moment, then grabbed the former's shoulder, and said again with an excited tone, "Wulin, did you just hear that? I broke through to a level 97 Hyper Douluo, level 97, something I never even dared to dream of!"
Tang Wulin couldn't bear to interrupt his excitement, so he could only smile awkwardly, "I heard it, and very clearly. Don't get too excited, Xie Xie!"
Xie Xie forced himself to calm down, boasting with a hint of pride, "Right, Wulin, I haven't asked you yet. What about you now?"
After pondering for a moment, Tang Wulin answered, "Me? I've already broken through to a level 98 Hyper Douluo, just one step away from becoming an Ultimate Douluo!"
"Crack!"
At that moment, Xie Xie felt as if his soul had been frozen…
His excitement vanished in an instant…
He had been planning to boast about his three levels of continuous breakthroughs after absorbing the heavenly materials, yet Tang Wulin was even more outrageous than him!
Noticing that something was off with the former, Tang Wulin hesitated, "Xie Xie, are you okay?"
Xie Xie glared at him and said listlessly, "I'm fine. I shouldn't have compared myself to a monster like you. By the way... what about the others? How are they doing?"
Tang Wulin replied truthfully, "You're the second one to finish absorbing. The others aren't done yet!"
Xie Xie instantly perked up again, rubbing his hands together and saying, "What? I'm the second one, so doesn't that mean I'm better than everyone else!"
If you don't compare yourself with Wulin, you can compare with others!
It's not possible that they all outperform him, right?
However, as he was indulging in his fantasy, Yue Zhengyu's very displeased voice rang out...
"Xie Xie, what were you shouting about just now? Don't you know it's disturbing the peace?"
Xu Xiaoyan too yawned, stretched, and got up, "Yeah, you woke me up. I was planning to cultivate a little longer!"
Xie Xie looked at them with fervent eyes, "What do you know? I've just broken through three levels in a row and have already reached a level 97 Hyper Douluo!"
After this declaration, Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan looked at him with surprise…
And then they responded with a very nonchalant "Oh"...
This annoyed Xie Xie even more, as he scolded, "Damn it, what's with that 'oh'? Don't tell me you're jealous because I've gained so many levels, so..."
Yue Zhengyu couldn't hold back and suddenly laughed...
"Xie Xie, have you lost your mind? Who would be jealous of you! Besides... you don't really think our soul power rank increase is lower than yours, do you?"
"Right, Xiao Yan?"
Xu Xiaoyan nodded in agreement, "Mhm, even I have already broken through to level 97!"
That sentence, like a sharp blade, pierced into Xie Xie's heart once again…
He covered his eyes with his hands, on the verge of tears, "You guys... I don't want to live anymore!"
Each and every one of these guys is so freakish, I feel like a clown!
Out of kindness, Yue Zhengyu patted his shoulder, consoling him, "Isn't there still Ye Hui, Xing Lan, and Lizhi who haven't finished absorbing? You still have a chance!"
Unable to bear it, Tang Wulin objected, "Zheng Yu, don't think about hitting Xie Xie while he's down! The effects of Ye Hui and Xing Lan's absorption will definitely not be poor, and it's even possible they might break through to Ultimate Douluo!"
With that said, the last glimmer of hope in Xie Xie's heart was extinguished...
Full of silent resentment, he said, "Wulin, you put it very nicely, but from now on, don't say anything more!"
So it's like that, is it? Besides Xu Lizhi, the support-class Soul Master, I can't compare to anyone else, right?
...
Several more hours passed, and Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan also finished their absorption. Seeing this, Tang Wulin quickly gathered around...
Ye Xinglan spoke with mild surprise, "Everyone has finished absorbing already? It seems Ye Hui and I are the slowest!"
Yuanen Yehui asked, "How is everyone after absorbing the Immortal Herbs?"
Yue Zhengyu explained, "Wulin and I broke through to level 98. Xiao Yan and Lizhi broke through to level 97. It's a significant enhancement!"
He paused, then looked at the two with burning eyes, pressing them, "And you two? It shouldn't be much different, right?"
The rest also looked over, waiting for their response...
Ye Xinglan smiled, "I also broke through to level 98. As for Ye Hui, I suppose she must have broken through to Ultimate Douluo by now, right?"
Yuanen Yehui shook her head, a bit disappointed, "No, I'm still level 98! That Immortal Herb doesn't seem to be enough to break my bottleneck!"
She had only advanced two levels, which could be said to be the least noticeable effect!
Tang Wulin pursed his lips, "This... Maybe it's because breaking through to Ultimate Douluo is rather difficult. Ye Hui, being able to make a breakthrough is already quite good!"
Xu Xiaoyan agreed, "Yeah, yeah, even though we broke through so many levels, our soul power rank still doesn't compare to yours!"
Xu Lizhi also scratched his head, "Ye Hui, look at me, even after breaking through five levels in a row, I'm only at level 96. You're already very impressive!"
They all knew that with Yuanen Yehui's personality, she probably took quite a hit!
The Fragrance Damask Immortal, unable to watch this any longer, said resentfully, "Really, a bunch of insatiable fellows, do you think Ultimate Douluo are as common as cabbages?"
After absorbing the Immortal Herbs, the overall level of the Shrek Seven Monsters had broken through by two or three levels!
It may not seem like much, but this was the realm of Hyper Douluo, where each level up only becomes more difficult!
And yet these humans still weren't satisfied, nearly infuriating it to death!
Tang Wulin snapped back to his senses and gazed at the Blazing Apricot Cabbage and other Immortal Herbs, earnestly saying, "That being said, being able to make such breakthroughs, we still have to thank you!"
The Blazing Apricot Cabbage turned its head away proudly, "Hmph, no need to thank us. Now that absorption is complete, hurry up and leave this place; we don't want to be disturbed!"
The Octagon Frozen Grass nodded, "That's right, humans. You have stayed here for a long time. Since it's about saving Soul Land, time should be pressing, right?"
The Eight Petal Immortal Orchid waved its hand gently, full of emotion, "Everyone, after leaving, make sure to come often... no, never come back again!!"
To be undisturbed was the best repayment for these Immortal Herbs!
