Chapter 287 The Shift in Status
They had assumed that once Archer's furrowed brows finally relaxed, he would quickly wake up from his coma. But who could have imagined that this wait would turn into a whole day?
That morning, the sea seemed to be shrouded in a huge white veil, with thick fog spreading across its surface.
The fog was so thick it resembled unmelting butter, forcing both escort ships and reconnaissance vessels to move closer to the main ship.
After all, as long as you are a little further away, the thick fog that surges in like a tide will completely block your view, as if a white barrier has been erected around you.
The sea was filled with thick fog, completely obscuring the once beautiful seascape. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but a vast expanse of white.
Even fishing, which is usually the best way to pass the time, has become boring, because you can't see any fish in the fog, and you don't know where the hook will go when you cast it.
In this situation, Wu Heyi and the others couldn't think of any better way to pass the time, so they had no choice but to sleep in order to temporarily relieve the boredom caused by boredom.
Just as everyone was asleep, Archer suddenly woke up.
He opened his eyes and saw that the cabin was empty; there was no one there.
If he hadn't been able to faintly feel the slight swaying of the ship as it sailed, he would have really thought that everyone had abandoned him on some shore and left on their own!
Archer slowly got out of bed, stretched, and then pushed open the door to his cabin.
As soon as he stepped outside, he heard a faint commotion coming from the side.
Curious, he followed the sound slowly and walked over. Not far away, he saw Wu Heyi and the others sitting in a fairly well-lit place, chatting and laughing as they ate lunch.
The table was laden with all sorts of food, emitting an enticing aroma. On the foggy sea, this lively scene seemed especially warm.
Archer had just reached the restaurant entrance when the sharp-eyed Wu Heyi spotted him immediately.
"Archer, the soul bone has finally been absorbed!" Wu Heyi's voice was full of surprise as he happily tossed a French toast to Archer.
Archer quickly reached out to catch it, and just then, his stomach suddenly growled.
He then suddenly felt an intense hunger pang in his body, a hunger that felt like an invisible hand gripping his stomach.
He didn't know how long he had slept, but he was so hungry that he started to gnaw on the bread.
The aroma of the bread filled his mouth, but he was too hungry to savor it properly.
Seeing that he was eating with great enthusiasm, Mengxuanjun, who was standing next to him, handed him a cup of steaming milk with a smile.
Archer took the milk, feeling a mix of emotions he couldn't quite describe; to be honest, he was a little overwhelmed by the favor.
Even though Wu Heyi hadn't treated him badly before, he had never been so gentle with him as he was now.
Actually, this simply means that Archer hasn't completely changed his mindset yet.
You should know that he is now a Soul Master of the Soul Emperor level, one in ten thousand.
It may seem that cultivating to the Soul Emperor level is simple, but in reality, it's not that easy.
In this world, many Soul Masters find it extremely difficult to break through one or two more levels after finally reaching the Soul King level.
Even if these people used up all the cultivation resources they possessed, they could not improve their cultivation level in the slightest.
Those who can reach level 60 cultivation and are only one spirit ring away from breaking through seem to be able to reach the cultivation of a spirit emperor simply by absorbing a spirit ring, but there are great hidden dangers in this.
If the quality of the absorbed spirit ring is too poor, it will be almost impossible to make further breakthroughs in the future, just like an insurmountable chasm suddenly appearing on a flat road.
Archer is completely different from them. Archer is a Soul Master who can absorb Soul Rings beyond his level and is also lucky enough to obtain an external Soul Bone. With the powerful support of these two, his cultivation level has reached level 67.
Based on this situation, if he puts in a little more effort, he can easily reach level 70.
With his current level of cultivation, he could actually be considered an equal to Meng Xuanjun and Wu Heyi, both of whom were at level 69.
Although Archer hadn't yet adapted to this change in identity and status, his long-starved stomach didn't care.
He continued to wolf down his food as if it were the most delicious thing in the world.
He ate for a full hour, his stomach stuffed full, before he was finally satisfied.
After eating, Archer returned to the deck with Wu Heyi and the others.
At this moment, the thick fog on the sea had not yet dissipated, and everything around seemed somewhat hazy.
Wu Heyi looked at Archer with anticipation in his eyes and said, "Come on, show us!"
Archer nodded somewhat bewildered. Although he wasn't quite sure what Wu Heyi wanted him to demonstrate, he did as Wu Heyi instructed.
He took a deep breath and then slowly gathered his soul power on his back.
As his soul power gathered, he suddenly felt an itchy sensation on his back, as if he were carrying something on his back, and this thing was also exerting a kind of restraint on him.
However, this feeling did not make Archer uncomfortable; on the contrary, it stirred up a strong desire within him to break through.
Archer then increased his power, continuously providing soul energy output.
Immediately afterward, in that instant, a dazzling light flashed, and Archer unleashed a giant wing.
The wings were enormous, with a wingspan five times his height when fully extended, like a giant umbrella held up behind him, so large it was almost frightening!
Archer tried simply flapping his wings, and something amazing happened—he slowly floated up.
However, after flying to a certain height, it seemed to encounter some invisible obstacle and could no longer go up.
However, at this altitude, gliding around the main ship at a small angle has no problem at all.
Archer felt the sea breeze blowing across his face as he stood in mid-air, his heart filled with novelty and excitement.
"Old Meng, thank you for helping me!" Archer said, circling in the sky.
"This soul bone has given me a passive soul skill!"
"As long as I use my sixth soul skill while in a swirling state, the world folding state can be doubled, and I also have a 30% chance of unleashing a second strike!"
