C60 Onwards

Kyle attentively listened on Uncle Shi's teachings since learning from someone on his caliber, is like a once lifetime opportunity.

"Now, I will teach you how to control the power of your soul. I noticed that you already know how to activate your soul power, albeit using it improperly." Uncle Shi said while implying on their previous clash with Kyle's Haki.

Kyle could only nod since he guessed that soul power and his Haoshoku is quite similar to each other.

"But this is already a good start for you since you could already muster the power of your soul. You just need a little bit of guidance on controlling it. Once you could already control it properly, I'm gonna teach you some basic formulas and soul attacks that I know of. Unfortunately... You cannot learn those legacies and manuals from the clan because you still can't enter the pagoda. Nonetheless, even though I'm not a full-fledged Soul Symbolizer, My skills in souls are top-notch when compared to the citizens of this world, so you don't need to worry with that."

So Uncle Shi taught Kyle how to control his soul power.

Their daily routine was to refine the Divine Core for five hours while Uncle Shi taught him about the proper ways to control his soul power.

Then, Kyle would cultivate his soul, using the soul tempering art that Uncle Shi had given him.

he will then, use the remaining time of the day, to hunt chaos beasts and cultivate his Dantian and Body.

This daily routine continued for a month.

After a month of training with this daily routine, Kyle could finally control his soul power, so Uncle Shi had given him some basic formulas that he knows of.

Training to become a Soul Symbolizer is practically full of memorizations and trial and errors, so this consumed a lot of his time and energy.

But to Kyle that had a lot of free time, this was a perfect opportunity.

During this month... Kyle had also, successfully broken through the 4th stage on his body's cultivation.

He was already at the peak of the 3rd stage before he started practicing his new body cultivation manual, so it wasn't that surprising for him to break through.

However, he crossed the threshold of the 3rd-4th stage mark, so he was happy about it.

His Dantian had also reached the peak of the first stage, but he wasn't too dissatisfied by it.

He just broke through the first stage, so peaking in just a month is already an accomplishment for him. He just needs a little push, to break through the 2nd stage.

Kyle also did not forget to train his devil fruit awakening. Every time he had free time, he uses this time to understanding his devil fruit, enabling him to have a huge breakthrough on it

.

He felt like he was already close to understanding the awakening of his Gura Gura no mi, but since he prioritized on training to become a soul symbolizer, his training on awakening his devil fruit had slowed down.

However, this was to be expected, because the opportunity to learn from someone like Uncle Shi is only limited.

He could've continued to train his awakening, after leaving the ancient pagoda, so he prioritized his soul training for now.

Nevertheless... He still had made some improvements regarding his devil fruit.

This daily routine continued for another couple of months.

....

Three months later...

"Uncle Shi! I finished it..." Kyle came up to the Uncle Shi as he showed him a talisman with a *Speed* symbol on it.

In these three months, Kyle's talent regarding the soul had finally shown.

He was from a clan that raised genius Soul Symbolizers from time to time, so this was to be expected.

However, his talent is really too shocking, even for Uncle Shi who had great experiences.

The moment he learned how to control his soul power, surprisingly... His soul had already stepped to 3 moons.

Kyle had never trained on his soul before, so this means that growth of his soul was too fast, even without any manuals.

Now, three months after, Kyle's soul power had reached 5 moons. Even when compared to those geniuses from the clan, his improvements are too rapid.

From what he heard from Uncle Shi, even those from the clan, that cultivated their soul from childhood, needed at least twenty years, to become five moons, soul symbolizer.

Unfortunately... He wasn't guided on his soul cultivation when he was young, due to the calamity that fell on their clan; or else, Kyle's power, regarding the soul, could've to reach frightening heights by now.

Kyle came up to Uncle Shi with a talisman on his hands.

Uncle Shi was impressed by the improvements of his nephew, so he was happy deep inside.

In these past three months... Uncle Shi had taught him countless formulas regarding symbols.

Since Kyle isn't yet a Star tier, he still couldn't create arrays/formations, however, he still taught him how to make one, so Kyle would have a general idea on the future when he breaks through the Star Tier.

Luckily... The stronger the soul of a person gets, the stronger his brains functions, enabling Kyle to become smarter and memorized all the formulas and manuals that Uncle Shi had taught him.

Uncle Shi had also been the one who taught Kyle all of the skills on being a Soul Symbolizer, so he was like a disciple to him, despite Kyle being his future master.

Having a genius disciple like Kyle made him full of pride, so he was in glee.

The four months of teaching Kyle made the uncle/nephew closer with each other.

Unfortunately... This would be the last day that they would be together for the meantime.

Because...

Earlier this morning, Kyle had finally finished on refining the Divine Core.

Sadly... The spirit of the Divine Core did not meet him and continued to rest inside the Ancient Pagoda.

Kyle felt that the spirit was ungrateful since he had wasted ten hours of his time in four months, just to help the spirit recover, but it did not even say some thanks or at least met him.

However, Uncle Shi explained to him that, there's no need to worry because the spirit had already recognized Kyle as its master. It just needs to recuperate inside the pagoda; due to its lack of vitality, hence it can't come out.

Kyle had no problem with this. At least he was already the master of it, so he did not worry and used up the whole day to finish up his training with Uncle Shi.

He decided it's time to let out and start his adventure throughout the world. He had already been sidetracked for a year; due to his decision to visit the Forbidden Ruins in the past.

So, he was now eager to start his adventure.

Uncle Shi also knew this, so he wasn't against his future master leaving.

Truthfully... He could've stayed here and absorbed Chaos Beasts' all he wants, however, that will limit his growth and will ruin his potential.

Cultivating from time to time is good, but a cultivator needs experience and numerous battles to breakthrough.

Staying in one place could only stagnant the growth of a cultivator, so Kyle leaving this place was a good idea.

Such as, Uncle Shi did not refute when Kyle made the decision to leave.

.....

Kyle was now outside the Grand Formation that was called by Ancient Pagoda by the outsiders.

"See you, Uncle Shi. Thanks for everything." Kyle made a bow and thank the child.

Uncle Shi might have the looks of a child, however, Kyle's respect for him did not lessen by it.

Uncle Shi had taught him a lot in these past months, so he was very grateful for him.

"Take care, I'll be waiting until you become a Saint and reclaim this place." Uncle Shi said as the waves of his hands and threw Kyle a token.

Kyle abruptly catches it and asks: "What is this?"

"That is an Ancient Pagoda token. Now that you are the owner of this pagoda, there won't be any use of letting it shown to the outsiders. So, the Ancient Pagoda will now hide from this world. You can use that token to locate us after you broke through the Saint Realm."

Kyle nodded and understood the situation. The Ancient Pagoda was only shown to the outside world o find him, so there wasn't any reason for it to continue staying on the Misty Ruins.

Uncle Shi then went back inside the formation and return to the pagoda.

However, a shocking event that would shake the whole continent occured.

*durrurururug... Dururururug!*

The earth trembled wildly as the Ancient Pagoda started to slowly vanish from the spot inside the Misty Ruins.

Kyle was shocked by the trembling, but due to his occasional use of his devil fruit. The trembling of the earth wasn't a big deal for him.

He had guessed that the reason of this trembling must be, because of the Ancient Pagoda, such as he wasn't very overly wary about it, despite being close to the source.

The trembling lasted for minutes and it affected the whole continent.

What Kyle did not know was that, because of this trembling event... The continent was stirred and the powerhouses of each empire grew relentless. And this occasion would be dubbed, as a world-shattering event throughout the whole lands.
