Su Zui Became a Soul Saint in a Single Day!

Su Zui stood there, stunned, unable to come to her senses for a long time.

Five hundred percent.

He thought he had misheard, so he reviewed the information that had flooded his mind carefully.

Explosive Flame Sky-Rending Claw, with both fire and metal attributes, when triggered, condenses into a claw with all five fingers, gathering fire and metal power at the fingertips to tear the sky and shatter the earth, scorching everything in its path.

Attack power increased by 500%.

Five times.

He stared at the Soul Bone armor on his right arm, its gold and silver patterns swirling around it. His Adam's apple bobbed, and after a long while, he finally uttered, "This... is too ruthless."

It wasn't a surprise, it was a chill.

He knew all too well what five times the attack power meant.

He now possesses the strength of Titled Douluo, and with a five-fold boost, a single strike of his claw would tear even Titled Douluo to shreds.

But the more he felt this way, the tighter his heart became.

Power, when it comes too suddenly and too quickly, often makes people lose their sense of awe.

Su Zui subconsciously clenched his fist. The moment his five fingers closed, the gold and silver patterns on the armor suddenly lit up, and a powerful force was about to leak out from his fingertips.

He looked up at Gu Yuena, a hint of helplessness in his voice. "To be honest, I'm a little scared of this boost."

A faint hint of surprise flashed across Gu Yuena's purple-gold vertical pupils.

"Fear is a good thing."

Gu Yuena spoke slowly, her voice calm yet carrying a hint of seriousness.

"Many people die from power they can't control, never understanding this principle until their deaths. The fact that you feel awe at first sight shows that your inner strength hasn't been clouded by power. A five-fold increase is indeed domineering, but the more domineering it is, the more time you need to tame it."

She paused, her gaze falling on the armor on Su Zui's right arm. "You have to treat it as part of your body, control it like you control your fingers."

Su Zui nodded solemnly, taking these words to heart.

He suppressed the pounding in his heart, moved his right arm a couple more times, and felt the new life force slowly flowing through his bones and veins.

The armor, when applied to the skin, felt neither heavy nor stuffy, but rather carried a warm, substantial, and reassuring sensation, like an extra layer of unbreakable armor, or a sharp blade ready to be drawn at any moment.

His gains from this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest were so great that even he himself found it somewhat unreal.

The Soul Spirit Method, the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring of the Golden Hawksbill Turtle, and the Soul Bone Armor formed by the fusion of the Scarlet King Fire Soul Bone —each one is more precious and heavier than the last.

But Gu Yuena hadn't finished speaking.

Her gaze fell on Su Zui, and she pondered for a moment, as if calculating something in her mind, before slowly asking, "Su Zui, what level is your Soul Power now?"

"Level 69," Su Zui answered truthfully.

Gu Yuena nodded slightly, a thoughtful look appearing in her purple-gold vertical pupils. "You possess multiple Martial Souls — the Great Luo Sword Embryo, the Heavenly Eye, and the Wine Gourd. Currently, you only have the Golden Hawksbill Turtle Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and your Soul Power is only level 69. You are far from sufficient to shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving the Soul Beasts."

Su Zui didn't respond, quietly waiting for her to continue.

He knew that Gu Yuena wouldn't bring this up without a reason.

"The hope of the Soul Beast Clan now rests on your shoulders."

Gu Yuena's voice calmed down, but carried a solemnity that she herself was unaware of.

"The stronger you become, the more firmly this path of symbiosis will be established, and the less likely the Gods in the Divine Realm will dare to act rashly. I've decided to help you complete the Soul Rings for your other Martial Souls while you're still in the Lake of Life."

Su Zui was slightly taken aback. "Senior means..."

"I'll give you a boost so you can improve your strength in one go."

She raised her hand, and a deep dragon's roar traveled out along the undercurrent of the lake.

Before long, a massive, deep figure slowly emerged from the shadows deeper within the Lake of Life.

It was a plant-type Soul Beast that was enormous beyond imagination.

The plant is entirely dark green, with countless vines Entanglement around its main stem, each vine swirling with eerie purple patterns.

Its aura was extremely dense, carrying a deep and oppressive force that made it hard to breathe, yet its vertical pupils, peering through the layers of vines, remained calm and devoid of any malice.

Myriad Demon King

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest dwells a plant-type king who has lived for countless millennia. In terms of seniority and strength, he ranks among the top in the entire Core Circle of Star Dou.

Its massive body slowly coiled at the bottom of the lake, countless vines gently unfurling, their purple stripes flickering intermittently.

Gu Yuena spoke up, "The Myriad Demon King, it was I who asked him to be the Soul Spirit of your Heavenly Eye Martial Soul."

The Myriad Demon King immediately bowed and uttered a string of words that Su Zui couldn't understand, but judging from his actions, he seemed to agree.

The Myriad Demon King's gaze lingered on Su Zui for a long time, his deep vertical pupils reflecting the boy's figure.

After a long while, it emitted a low, resonant hum.

Su Zui a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart. He did not refuse, nor did he hesitate.

Gu Yuena is right. The stronger he becomes, the easier the path for the Soul Beast Clan will be. This is a burden, a responsibility. Now that he has taken on the path of Soul Spirit Symbiosis, there is no turning back.

He sat cross-legged and, following the Soul Spirit Method taught by Electrolux, activated the power of his Heavenly Eye Martial Soul to condense a Soul Array, extending an invitation to the Myriad Demon King to form a contract.

The moment the magic array lit up, the massive body of the Myriad Demon King trembled slightly.

It actively released a Divine Soul its original divine soul, which slowly merged into Su Zui's Heavenly Eye Martial Soul along the magic array. The moment that Divine Soul touched Su Zui's brow, it was like a drop of scalding ink falling into clear water, instantly spreading out.

The contract is complete.

The Heavenly Eye Martial Soul unleashed a profound and vast power in that instant.

Su Zui felt a burning sensation between his brows, as if some ancient power that had been dormant for a long time had been completely awakened.

Immediately afterwards, an orange Soul Ring slowly rose from beneath his Heavenly Eye Martial Soul.

The moment the Soul Ring took shape, the Soul Power within Su Zui surged wildly, like a flood bursting its banks.

Level 69... Level 70... Level 73... Level 75!

Boom!

A muffled explosion emanated from his body, and a massive torrent of Soul Power broke through an invisible barrier, instantly boosting Su Zui's aura significantly. His aura surged outward like a wild horse, Berserk the water at the bottom of the lake to churn to both sides.

Soul Saint.

At the bottom of the Lake of Life, with the help of the Myriad Demon King's Soul Spirit, he broke through to the Soul Saint realm in one go.

Su Zui felt the surging power within her body, experiencing an unprecedented sense of fullness.

He had never felt so clearly that his Martial Soul, Soul Power, and Spiritual Power were at an unprecedented peak.

The feeling was like standing on a vast, open field, with an endless starry sky above and solid, stable earth beneath your feet, and he finally had a sense of security.

But before the impact of the breakthrough had completely subsided, Su Zui suddenly groaned, his expression changing drastically.

He felt that his body had reached a certain limit at this moment.

My meridians, bones, and dantian all felt a swelling sensation as if they were being stretched to their limit, like a container filled with water that would burst if any more force were put in.

Su Zui forced himself to steady his mind and slowly withdrew his Soul Power, finally managing to catch his breath. Fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and the back of his robe was already soaked with sweat.

He looked down at his trembling hands and gave a bitter smile, "No... my body has reached its limit. I'm afraid I can't withstand absorbing any more Soul Spirits."

Gu Yuena also noticed his condition, a hint of understanding flashing in her purple-gold vertical pupils. She didn't rush to urge him, nor did she show disappointment; she simply nodded calmly. "You fused two Soul Rings at once —the Golden Hawksbill Turtle and the Myriad Demon King —and also fused with the Soul Bone Armor. In addition, you just broke through to Soul Saint. Your power has increased too rapidly. Your body needs time to adapt. If you rush things, it will only damage your foundation."

She paused, her tone unusually gentle. "To break through to Soul Saint in one go, and still be so aware of your limits, is already quite remarkable. So many people get blinded by this kind of explosive growth, trying to swallow everything they can and can't in one go, only to burst themselves in the end. Your ability to stop in time shows you have a sense of proportion."

Gu Yuena looked at Su Zui and Qian Renxue and said calmly, "You two will stay in the Lake of Life to cultivate from now on. You can leave when you have fully adapted to your new power!"
