[Chapter:39][Power levelling Old Jack(3)]

*boom!*

An explosion of Spirit Power erupted from Old Jack's body as the illusory red Soul Ring shattered, before mixing with the Spirit Power to form a complete Soul Ring. Old Jack's other Soul Rings appeared around his new one, and within seconds, his rank, which stayed stagnant at Rank 60, moved.

Rank 61…

Rank 62…

Rank 63…

Rank…

…

…

…

"He…he went from Rank 60…to Rank 70…just like that…?"

Ah Yin widened her eyes in disbelief. As someone who had cultivated as a human herself, she knew full well how difficult it is for a Spirit Emperor to become a Spirit Saint.

Most Emperors don't achieve it in their entire lifetimes, while those few that do, spend years, if not decades, reaching Rank 70…

But now, right in front of her eyes…

"Stabilise your realm, Grandpa. Your seventh Soul Ring will give a much greater reaction."

Al's words snapped those watching out of their daze as Old Jack nodded solemnly, his face almost as serious as it would be when he's harvesting carrots. Almost.

((By the way, you shouldn't let him go past Rank 80. Keep that in mind, I'll explain why later.))

Ella's words, while puzzling, made Al nod as he and Ai once again began the process of making an artificial Soul Ring.

A couple minutes later, with all the sound effects and visual effects being omitted, another illusory red Soul Ring floats beside Old Jack.

*boom!*

Another explosion of Spirit Power, and Old Jack successfully joins the ranks of Spirit Saints. And it doesn't end there, as Al quickly takes the opportunity to instill large amounts of Spirit Power into Old Jack's body.

'Although my Spirit Power density is quite lacking compared to Spirit Emperors and Spirit Saints, making his realm a little unstable…the rise in his ranks far outweighs the disadvantage. He can always spend a couple months consolidating his rank, but cultivating 20 whole ranks normally will take at least two years even with the pills and everything.'

After a few minutes, Al felt old Jack reach his limit, making him cut off the flow of Spirit Power into him.

Him being able to 'transfer' his Spirit Power directly to old Jack was only possible because two of his Soul Rings are technically parts of Al's soul, which also has another added benefit. Now, no matter the distance, and even without those special jewels containing parts of his Soul, Al can freely transfer Spirit Power to old Jack.

That is to say…

"Congratulations, Grandpa. You have successfully become a Spirit Saint with access to endless amounts of Spirit Power, and two red Soul Rings to boot."

"Hohoho! Indeed I have!"

Old Jack grinned as his old, wrinkled figure, hiding strong muscles underneath thanks to practicing [Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer], trembled with power. A small, ripe looking carrot appeared before him, and his Soul Rings followed.

"Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red, and Red. What an absurd Soul Ring configuration."

Ah Yin sighed as she looked at the old man who was a Spirit King not even ten minutes ago. Now, though?

Although his unstable realm gave him an aura of weakness, as though he was a 'fake' Spirit Saint, anyone who catches sight of those two bright, almost blinding red rings, would instantly think otherwise.

"Ella, how's his combat power?"

Ella's voice soon resounded within the entire Garden, confusing Tang San and Old Jack who had never heard her before.

((Right now, he can give anyone below Rank 95 a run for their money. And that's when he's still not used to his power. When he gets accustomed to his strength, and further consolidates his Spirit Rank, which with his cultivation technique running 24/7 shouldn't take more than a week, his combat power would be a solid Rank 97.))

((And with infinite Spirit Power reserves, although the quality will obviously be less than his usual Spirit Power, the quantity should more than make up for it, and let him fight a Rank 98 head on.))

Al nodded in satisfaction while old Jack and Tang San looked around and then at him curiously.

"That's Ella, one of my most important people. She's literally the reason I'm still alive."

Surprisingly, Ella didn't respond to his proclamation, making Al smile.

'Shy, are we, dear?'

((…))

He could practically imagine her glaring at him with pink cheeks and a flushed face, making him chuckle.

Oh, yes, through the years, Ella had decided on how her future body and appearance would look, though she only gave Al a general description, saying her looks would be a surprise for him. He didn't mind though, looking forward to how she would look.

Though, knowing her, with her full access to each and every one of his thoughts and fetishes, he was actually looking forward to more than just her looks when she gets a body…

((Pervert.))

Al ignored her words as he looked at the three people around him.

"I still have something to do, so you are free to do whatever you want for a couple more minutes."

Old Jack and Tang San nodded, the latter taking one last look at his mother and his brother, before the two ran off somewhere.

"I'll stay here.", Ah Yin said before she scooped up Ai.

"Why don't we play a game, Ai?"

"Game?"

"Yes, a game. Do you want to?"

"Yes! I want to play a game, big sister Ah Yin!"

"…"

Al looked at the two playing with a soft smile before he asked Ella,

'Why did you stop me from power levelling grandpa all the way to Titled Douluo? Although his foundation will be a little weak, he can always strengthen it later, just like he's doing it now.'
