Douluo Dalu - The Story of Sheng Feilong

Finding a testing area where they could test Sheng Feilong's Spirit Power was considerably easy. After informing She Meixiao of Sheng Feilong's breakthrough, the former quickly got to work and brought Song Weihan, Sheng Feilong and Sheng Lingtian to the testing area.

Compared to the Spirit Power testing devices from the Spirit Pagoda, the ones at Daedalus were a bit different. The ones here measured an individual's Spirit Power using a special kind Spirit Treasure; a number of differently coloured crystals, that were attached to a headgear.

According to She Meixiao, the testing device here wasn't as precise as the ones at the Spirit Pagoda; They couldn't give an exact number for the Spirit Power of a Soul Master, but only a somewhat rough estimate.

Depending on the colour of the crystals, the amount Spirit Power they represented were different: White ones represented Spirit Power values in the tens, Yellow ones in the hundreds and purple ones in the thousands. They were neatly lined up and, starting from a total of 1.000 points of Spirit Power, the white ones were omitted as the couldn't handle the pressure.

Sheng Feilong put on the headgear and started channelling his Spirit Power. With nearly no delay, the first white crystal lit up, then the second, the third, and so on. Soon, all nine white crystals were lit up and the first yellow one above them lit up as well. This signified his Spirit Power was above 100 points.

Not even a second later, the next white ones began lighting up one by one, soon bringing the second yellow one to light up. A few moments later, all yellow crystals had lit up and the first purple one began glowing, signifying a Spirit Power above 1.000 points!

In the moments to follow, the yellow crystals began lighting up again and again, followed by the purple ones. One by one, more purple crystals lit up and soon enough, the fifth purple one lit up as well.

Song Weihan smiled brightly seeing this. With five purple crystals glowing, Sheng Feilong's Spirit Power had already reached 5.000 points; He had already entered the Spirit Abyss realm! Many Soul Masters couldn't enter that realm in their whole lives, yet Sheng Feilong already reached it at the young age of 14; His future was absolutely limitless!

Song Weihan's glee soon vanished, rapidly turning into surprise; The speed with which the crystals lit up didn't diminish in the slightest! More and more yellow crystals lit up again and just a few seconds later, the sixth purple crystal lit up.

6.000! Sheng Feilong's Spirit Power was already over 6.000 points! Despite his surprise, Song Weihan could barely contain his excitement and he smiled even more gleefully than before.

The crystals shone brightly and more and more of them lit up, still at the same pace as at the beginning. The first yellow one, the second, the third...! Soon enough, the seventh purple crystal lit up as well, followed by more yellow ones and finally the eighth purple one!

Song Weihan shook from excitement. Sheng Feilong's Spirit Power was already at 8.000 points! This meant he was already at the middle levels of the Spirit Abyss realm; With a Spirit Power like this, he would have no problem supporting multiple 100.000-years-old Spirit Rings and easily up to five Spirit Souls of various levels!

While Song Weihan was caught in his gleeful imagination of what Spirit Souls to give Sheng Feilong to help him grow even more, She Meixiao stared at the device in complete shock. She knew Sheng Feilong was a genius when it came to Spirit Power, but wasn't this a bit to excessive?

Soon, she couldn't hold it in anymore and screamed out in surprise. "Impossible! The testing device says his Spirit Power is over 9.000! Just how old is he?! Is the device defect?!"

Song Weihan was pulled out of his thoughts and looked back at the machine and indeed, there were now nine purple crystals lit up, signifying a Spirit Power of over 9.000! And it was still continuously rising! 9.100, 9.200, 9.300, and still rising lightning fast!

All of the yellowe crystals were lit up one again, forcing a tenth pruple crystal to light up and a single black crystal above all of the others together with the rest! 10.000 points of Spirit Power! Sheng Feilong's Spirit Power had reached 10.000 points and it still continued to soar!

By now, Song Weihan and She Meixiao were staring at the testing device with incredulous expressions. A Spirit Power of 10.000 points was already well into the middle levels of the Spirit Abyss realm. Don't mind normal Soul Masters, even some Titled Douluo's couldn't reach such a level of Spirit Power! Even Song Weihan's Spirit Power wasn't even nearly close to 10.000 when he was at the same age as Sheng Feilong!

Just after that, Sheng Lingtian cried out as well, his face pale from shock. "Another purple one! Feilong's Spirit Power is already over 11.000 points!"

Dozens of white and yellow crystals, eleven purple crystals and a single, pitch black crystal were currently lit up and only now did the speed at which more lit up slow down. After breaking past 11.000 points, it took nearly ten seconds for the next yellow crystal to light up, and another twenty for the one after that until it finally came to a total stop.

Sheng Feilong's Spirit Power was above 11.200 points! This was absolutely incredible. For a 14 years old Soul master who just broke into the Soul King level to have a Spirit Power that would even leave some Titled Douluo's blushing in shame was unfathomable!

Luckily, no one other than Sheng Lingtian, She Meixiao and Song Weihan was here to see this as She Meixiao had asked everyone else to leave, earlier. All three of them were in shock, staring at the glowing crystals with expressionless faces as Sheng Feilong slowly took the headgear off.

Sheng Feilong looked at his Masters and father with a deadpan expression and slowly turned around to look at the crystals. Seeing so many of them lit up, he frowned lightly. He had overheard the talk about what the colours represented, so he knew that his Spirit Power was above 11.200 as well, but he had already guessed as much.

Ever since he entered his spiritual consciousness the day he woke up, he knew something had changed. It wasn't just a change in scenery but a qualitative change; The whole realm of his spiritual consciousness had changed and his own perception of the 'real' world had changed as well. Everything was much more clear and from what he knew about the various Spirit power realms, he deducted that he was already at the Spirit Abyss realm.

Still, 11.200 points was really surprising, even for him. Looking back at the others, Sheng Feilong could only smile wryly. He should have really warned them... At least tell them about the chagnes to his spiritual consciousness and his perception, but he never found the right time... Everyone was always so busy.

Awkwardly scratching his head, he tried talking to the others. "Master Song, Master She..? Um, I'm sorry about not telling you about this before, but I always thought that I was already at the Spirit Abyss realm..."

Song Weihan was the first to snap out of his daze. He stared at Sheng Feilong and sighed deeply, reminding himself to not think of Sheng Feilong as a normal human and always expect the impossible in order to not be so shocked anymore in future. "Yes, you really should've told us this before... When did you break through to the Spirit Abyss realm, though? Wait, don't say it; It was after you woke up three months ago, right? I remember you saying something about your spiritual consciousness looking weird."

"Yes, it's been since then... Not only did my spiritual consciousness look weird, it had also become much larger and turned into something that resembled a world more than an empty space... From what you said about the various Spirit Power realms, I deducted that I had reached the Spirit Abyss realm. I just didn't find the right time to tell any of you, because you always seemed to busy...", Sheng Feilong answered with an embarrassed expression.

She Meixiao had calmed down by now as well. Looking at Song weihan and Sheng Feilong bicker like that, she lightly smiled with a strange expression. "I really... didn't expect something like this. You already told me that your Spirit Power was pretty strong due to your Radiant Emperor's Phantasmagoric Eyes' Spirit Essence, but this really is above the level of 'pretty strong'."

Sheng Feilong continued to awkwardly scratch his head while Song Weihan made another, sudden suggestion. "Feilong, it's been a while since you had a real battle. You need to get accustomed to using your heightened Spirit Power as well as your new Soul Skill. What about a sparring match?"

Sheng Feilong froze. He began sweating lightly as he looked at Song Weihan. The latters face was filled with a smile and his eagerness to test Sheng Feilong's limit could be seen in his eyes. Though, this 'testing the limits' wouldn't end well for Sheng Feilong. Forcing a smile, Sheng Feilong answered with a meek voice. "Sure, Master... It's really been a while..."
