Chapter 87 Fifth Transformation
Fifth-order Dao Fruit, Dragon-Tiger Golden Core!
Although it's only a minor fifth rank and doesn't deserve the title of "Dao Fruit," it has the same significance for Shen He.

He has taken a very important step on his path of cultivation. At this moment, the golden core in his dantian is constantly bursting with power, proving his efforts and his achievements.

In terms of foundation alone, he is now no weaker than a fifth-tier emperor-type spirit beast.

If he were to use the Spirit Fusion Secret Technique to absorb the power of emperors such as the Golden-Winged Roc King with the Emperor's Armor of Myriad Spirits, he would be confident in suppressing both Emperor-level Spirit Masters and sixth-order Emperor Beasts.

In other words, he is now a humanoid Emperor Beast, a humanoid Emperor Beast capable of fighting beyond its level.

This is the result of progress in martial arts.

But that alone is not enough.

After all, as mentioned before, being able to fight doesn't guarantee victory, winning doesn't guarantee killing, and killing one doesn't guarantee killing a group.

So, that's not enough!
Shen He gathered his inner energy, the golden light entering his body, and his figure descended, returning to the Martial Capital Forbidden Palace to begin his fifth job advancement.

"Professional experience is full!"

"Do you want to advance?"

"Should I retain my professional talents?"

"Should I retain my professional skills?"

"..."

"Retain your professional talent!"

"Retain your professional skills!"

"Start career advancement!"

"Based on your experience and achievements, you can choose one of the following professions to replace your original profession, the Beast Emperor!"

"Profession 1: Spirit Master Emperor (Having fused with the five Emperor Beasts, you are the first Spirit Master who, without a destined fate, defeats a sixth-tier Spirit Master from the fifth tier. Without a doubt, you will become the most powerful Emperor-level Spirit Master in the history of the Spirit Master Continent, and can be called the Spirit Master Emperor.)

You can gain a massive amount of experience by fighting spirit beasts and raising them. The effects of training various spirit beasts are greatly enhanced, the probability of spirit beast evolution is greatly increased, and the attractiveness to spirit beasts without contracts is greatly enhanced.

Regardless of whether a contract is signed, the spirit beasts you raise can provide you with significant physical and mental enhancements, and your exclusive class item [Emperor's Myriad Spirit Armor] can evolve into [Great Emperor's Spirit Control Armor].”

"Professional Talent: Emperor's Power (You are a Spirit Master Emperor. Your power can even temporarily break through the limits of the world. You can consume professional experience to temporarily increase the rank of your contracted spirit beast. This increase can break through the world's restrictions)"

……

"Profession Two: Spirit Master Martial Lord (You have established a kingdom where spirit mastery and martial arts coexist, and have proven with your actions that humans are the most powerful spirit beasts. Even the Emperor Spirits have submitted to your martial arts and worshipped you as the King of Spirit Mastery and the Lord of Martial Arts.)

Through spirit battles, one can gain a massive amount of experience in martial arts cultivation. In terms of the efficiency of martial arts cultivation, one's own and contracted spirit beasts will receive a huge boost, personal disciples will receive a significant boost, students of the Martial Kingdom will receive a slight boost, and ordinary people of the Martial Kingdom will receive a minor boost.

All contracted spirit beasts, personal disciples, and citizens of the Martial Kingdom will experience a certain degree of feedback from their martial arts cultivation, improving their martial arts aptitude, martial arts realm, and martial arts cultivation techniques. (The exclusive class item [Emperor's Myriad Spirit Armor] will evolve into [Divine Martial Myriad Spirit Armor]).

"Professional Talent: Xingyi Shenwu (You started with Xingyi Quan, and now you have combined it with the Spirit Control Secret Technique to create your own unique Xingyi Shenwu. For every spirit beast within the range of the Twelve Xingyi Quan, the effect of Xingyi Quan and Xingyi Shenwu will be significantly enhanced, and may even break through the level limit.)
……

Looking at the two newly added career options, Shen He fell into deep thought.

This time it's a choice between two options, not the previous three.

This is not surprising, because career advancement options are not fixed. Generally speaking, there are three options, but sometimes there are more or fewer. Two, three, or even five or six options are not unusual. It mainly depends on the professional's impact on the world.

For example, his influence on the world now mainly lies in two aspects.

First, despite not being born with a divine mandate, he defied fate and killed the Flame Emperor Shen Tu Yu, setting an unprecedented record in the history of the Spirit Control Continent.

Secondly, he established the Martial Kingdom, created the Spirit Control Martial Arts System, and cultivated the Dragon-Tiger Golden Core, becoming the first fifth-order martial artist on the Spirit Control Continent.

These two have the greatest impact, so the resulting professions are the strongest and can be listed together among the options for successful advancement. Other professions have insufficient impact, so they are not qualified to be listed together and will most likely fall into the "normal advancement" option.

But that's good too. Fewer choices mean less trouble. After all, it's painful to see something you can't have.

Getting back to the main point, how do you choose between the two options?

The Spirit Emperor is an advancement of the Beast Emperor, and its greatest feature is that it allows contracted spirit beasts to temporarily evolve, and even break through the limits of this world.

If the upper limit of this world is six, then he can temporarily allow his contracted spirit beasts to break through to the seventh rank. The value of this ability goes without saying; it is enough to make him an invincible existence on the Spirit Control Continent. Even if the Fated Spirit Masters and the Dark Demon King Beast reappear, they will be helpless against him and may even be suppressed by him.

The Spirit Master Martial Lord is an advancement from the previous Spirit Master Martial Sect, and its most distinctive feature is the combination of the Spirit Master system and the Martial Arts system.

Not only can it greatly enhance martial arts power using the Spirit Control Secret Technique, but it can also improve the efficiency of contracted spirit beasts and the people of the Martial Kingdom in cultivating martial arts, and provide feedback to itself.

Theoretically speaking, once Shen He unifies the Spirit Control Continent, all the Spirit Masters and contracted spirit beasts on the continent will become his cultivation tools, enhancing his martial arts aptitude and martial arts realm.

The cultivation accessories that fill the entire continent, even if each person only provides a little boost, will accumulate into a terrifying force, creating a qualitative change through quantitative change.

Both are extraordinary.

But unfortunately, I can only choose one.

After much deliberation, Shen He finally chose Yu Ling Wu Jun.

Although the Spirit Emperor is quite good, giving him the ability to face both the Fated Spirit Master and the Dark Demon King Beast, he still pales in comparison to the Spirit Martial Lord.

After all, his main source of strength now is the martial arts techniques of the human empire, such as Xingyi Quan. Yu Ling Wu Jun further enhances this aspect of power, and the strengthening effect is not necessarily much weaker than that of Yu Ling Da Di.

In addition, Shen He also had to consider the present world. The prospects of the Spirit Control System in the present world were obviously not as good as those of the Martial Arts System, and his martial arts aptitude was very average. The Martial Dynasty's accumulation had also been exhausted. If he did not improve, the development of the present world would be delayed.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Shen He still chose Yu Ling Wu Jun.

So and so...

"Advancement successful!"

"Professional talent [Master of Spirit Beast Taming] successfully retained!"

"Profession talent [Emperor Spirit Beast Feed] successfully retained!"

"Professional talent [King of All Spirits] successfully retained!"

"Professional talent [Emperor Evolution] successfully retained!"

"Professional skill 'Swallowing Essence' has been successfully retained!"

"Professional skill 'Feed Making' has been successfully retained!"

"The professional skill 'Spirit Fusion Technique' has been successfully retained!"

"..."

"The professional skill 'Xingyi Quan' has been enhanced - Spirit Beast Transformation!"

"The professional skill 'Xingyi Quan' has been enhanced - Spirit Beast Refinement!"

Looking at the completely redesigned career panel, Shen He nodded in satisfaction and then turned his gaze to the distance.

Having completed his Golden Core cultivation and reached the fifth stage of his profession, his preparations were complete. Now it was up to the others to make their moves.

　Yesterday there was a power outage, and it was so hot and stuffy that I dozed off and didn't wake up until 5:30 pm. I'm really sorry about that, but I won't miss any updates. I'll write three chapters now, and then another three for tomorrow morning at 8 am.
