Inside the Canton Tower laboratory.
Lu Jun opened the three boxes sent by the Zhao family. Instantly, a surge of abundant water vapor burst out, accompanied by multicolored radiance soaring into the sky, illuminating the entire room in a dazzling cascade of flowing brilliance and shimring luster.
Splash—! The laboratory echoed faintly with the sound of ocean waves, making everyone montarily dazed, as if they were imrsed in the deep sea.
The combined energy of the three Water Elental Soul Seeds was simply too imnse, with their innate spiritual essence spreading throughout, each carrying its own unique feeling.
Lu Jun's gaze swept across the three Soul Seeds one azure blue, one pale white, one deep and heavy. His body and spirit were nourished, his heart at ease, while the Water Elental Star River in the dark universe within him stirred restlessly.
Without further hesitation, he extended both hands and plunged them into the three Soul Seeds. Water light rippled, and wave after wave of pure energy surged into his body through his arms.
Rumble—!
In the next mont, it was as if Lu Jun's body was being remolded and cleansed. His physique and blood energy actually began to rise slowly, drawing near to the Fourth Realm: Commander Level body. A tidal roar emanated from his limbs and bones, spreading to the outside world.
Yet this was rely a side effect. The true transformation was taking place in his spiritual world—the dark-blue heavenly river, which accepted all forms of Soul Seed origin power without resistance, swallowing greedily like an ocean embracing all rivers.
The star river rose as the water level climbed. Its riverbed broadened and deepened. While its length remained unchanged, its essence grew imnsely profound, as if it was about to evolve into the legendary Tongtian River.
Externally, surging water waves burst forth from Lu Jun's body, overlapping one after another and sweeping in all directions.
Dark-blue brilliance shimred around him, lighting up half the sky, transforming the laboratory into a vast oceanic marsh. Its hue seed to have absorbed too much water essence, gradually turning into a chaotic shade of pitch black.
Nearby lab personnel were pushed toward the periphery by wave after wave of crashing sea water. Their eyes filled with shock as they watched Lu Jun engulfed by the black ocean, with ominous clouds gathering and flashes of lightning illuminating strange phenona.
Lu Jun's aura climbed steadily. The Water Elental Devouring Seed underwent a tamorphosis, washing away all impurities.
No one knew how much ti had passed. When everything finally settled, he opened his eyes with a joyful expression. Feng Zhoulong, the only one unaffected, asked nervously, "How is it? How much has your strength improved?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jun carefully sensed his physical condition. First of all, his blood energy had stepped into the Fourth Realm under the push of the Water Elental Devouring Seed's sublimation. In terms of physique, he had already reached the minimum threshold of Commander Level.
His blood energy surged like the blazing sun, vast and magnificent. His blood, now like rcury, flowed through his veins with radiant brilliance, crystal clear and brimming with life force. Just this precious blood alone could be sold as a top-tier Commander-level material!
No one would believe this ca from a human body.
"If I ever go broke, I can sell blood to survive. The Chronicles of Little Lu Jun Selling Blood?"
Lu Jun mocked himself silently. His physique surged with endless strength, divine power capable of shaking mountains. He extended both hands and lightly clenched his fists—space around him buzzed. With a slight focus of his blood energy, a tangible Divine Apparition could already form behind him!
It was hard to believe such a small human body could contain such vast blood energy. Since his size was a disadvantage, he would simply allow his blood energy to leave his body and form a massive apparition to close the gap between him and monsters.
The first three stages of blood energy are Tendons and mbranes, while the middle three stages are marked by the manifestation of the Apparition.
Secondly, his high-tier Water Elental Star River had seemingly advanced significantly while devouring the Soul Seeds' enormous energy. It had just broken through high-tier level 2 not long ago, and now it was already pushed to the Peak of Level 2, Close to Level 3.
Of course, these were all minor gains. The true harvest was that the Water Elental Devouring Seed had been promoted to Top-grade Soul Seed, with an amplification multiplier reaching six tis!
Combined with Lu Jun's Water Avoiding Pearl, which provided a 1.5x base power multiplier, he now had nine tis the might. Except for the "Forbidden Domain," it was nearly no different from a Heaven Seed.
A high-tier mage with a Heaven Seed could cast magic nearly at the Forbidden-level range with ease.
One year later, Mo Fan's twelve-tis Thunder Elent could already allow him to fight single-elent Super Mages head-on while still at high-tier.
Furthermore, the most important part of a Devouring Seed was its four unique effects. Lu Jun's two innate talents—Tide and Withering—had both undergone so changes, with clear improvents.
The forr now drained even more of the opponent's stamina and magic power, while the latter had directly advanced into Extre Yin, greatly enhancing the erosion of death energy.
The two newly acquired secondary effects were nad Mystic Weight and Abyssal Sea.
Mystic Weight: A single drop of water, refined to the extre, beca dozens of tis heavier than normal water. When cast with Raging Tides or Water Curtain, both the impact force and defensive strength would see a significant boost.
And this wasn't even its limit—it would scale with cultivation, eventually reaching hundreds or even thousands of tis in pressure.
Lu Jun was quite satisfied with this special ability. It seed closely tied to the environnt where the Water Elental Crystal was born—several thousand ters beneath the sea, where intense pressure wiped out any living microorganism.
Finally, the Abyssal Sea ability drew from the concept of the deep sea as a boundless abyss. Water, being the softest, could dissolve all things. It possessed an extrely potent devouring effect, capable of swallowing all magical attacks and converting them into Water Elental energy.
It carried certain characteristics of the Chaos Elent.
The four major innate abilities: Tide! Extre Yin! Mystic Weight! Abyssal Sea!
The first three were passive and applied automatically to any Water Elental spell. The last one was the only active skill, and activating it required consuming a vast amount of magic energy.
He suspected that the reason his physical body had so easily broken through the Commander-level threshold of the Fourth Realm was due to the cleansing effects of the first three innate abilities.
They were simply too well-suited for physical cultivation: the peration and nourishnt from Tide, the destruction and rebirth from Extre Yin, and the tempering pressure of Mystic Weight.
Lu Jun was deeply satisfied. Though his current Soul Seed had 'only' nine tis the base amplification, that was just its lower bound—with four secondary effects, its upper bound could easily reach over ten or even twenty tis actual combat strength.
That was the value of innate gifts and special abilities. Take Mystic Weight, for instance. Though seemingly unimpressive at first glance, if the mass increased tenfold, the impact force would also multiply by ten.
In the world of magic, physics may seem irrelevant due to countless ans of countering it, but if this were the scientific dinsion, even Newton would be stunned speechless.
Many powerful mages didn't value re multipliers. Instead, they selected Spirit Seeds or Soul Seeds purely based on effects—for exactly this reason.
Moreover, under the synergistic influence of these four special abilities, even the basic Water Elental Domain Lu Jun had originally grasped had been sublimated.
Upon learning all this, Feng Zhoulong exclaid in awe, "Your Water Elental Devouring Seed and Blood Abyss Curse Seed are truly the greatest creations of my entire life! What do you plan to na this new Soul Seed?"
Hearing this, Lu Jun pondered for a mont. Combining the essence of the four abilities, he replied, "Let's call it North Underworld Heavy Water. North Underworld signifies the abyssal sea—imasurably deep. Its water is dark, extrely yin and infinitely soft. Heavy Water—even feathers cannot float upon it. Layered waves soar up to the heavens."
Old Feng praised, "What a na! Full of grandeur. This Soul Seed of yours practically qualifies as a half-Heaven Seed."
"I suggest your fourth additional effect should just absorb a real Heaven Seed outright. Stack that multiplier to twelve tis, and the world's Magical Halls will have a place for you."
Heaven Seed?! Lu Jun felt troubled inside. In the future, Mo Fan's Rock Elent Devouring Seed would only need to absorb a few minor Soul Seeds to reach Heaven Seed level. But his path required a real Heaven Seed… far more difficult.
