First Soul Skill

"Metallurgy Stone"—metallurgy was the process of forging metal, while stone encompassed all metals.

If this had been in ancient or primordial times, or in an era before Spirit Forging and Soul Forging had appeared, Lin Xingyu would have hesitated when he saw this soul skill, wondering whether he should choose it.

But in this day and age, what was there to even say? This was an absolute divine skill!

The effect of Lin Xingyu's First Soul Skill was very simple: it allowed him to obtain certain traits by refining Metallurgy Stone, then apply them to himself.

This enhancement was permanent. It was equivalent to being able to refine Metallurgy Stone to obtain soul skills!

It meant this one soul skill of mine could continuously obtain other soul skills!

This was simply a divine skill among divine skills, an ability almost on the level of rules. The effect of Lin Xingyu's First Soul Skill could only be described as freakish.

In addition, this soul skill also brought a small wonder: it allowed Lin Xingyu to clearly sense the spirituality of various metals and stones. One had to know that the hardest part for a Forging Master advancing to level five was sensing a metal's spirituality.

Lin Xingyu had essentially skipped that threshold outright. No, he was even more freakish than that! He could directly sense metal spirituality and refine metal through it.

Compared with an ordinary Forging Master's perception of metal, his was countless times stronger.

"Metallurgy Stone." Lin Xingyu carefully pondered the function of this soul skill in his heart. A mere Soul Spirit, even if its compatibility with him was extremely high, absolutely could not have brought him such a soul skill.

There should have been the wondrous effect of his "High-Dimensional Vision" involved here. He had used "High-Dimensional Vision" to modify this soul skill, and had even granted it a portion of the higher status he had brought after reincarnating.

That was why this ability, almost on the level of rules, had been born. Looking at it this way, every one of his future soul skills would be freakish, and all of them could obtain some sort of rule-type ability.

Thinking of it like that, how could his future merely be vast? It was simply a hundred times, a thousand times, ten times, nine times vaster!

There was also the matter of the Soul Spirit's age. A Soul Spirit's age could determine the strength of a soul skill. After his Soul Spirit fused with him, relying on his higher status, the two of them could be said to have completely become one.

Under these circumstances, Lin Xingyu's Soul Spirit was not like other people's, unable to increase its age under normal conditions.

He could use Soul Power Nurturing to increase the Soul Spirit's age, thereby improving the effect of "Metallurgy Stone."

Also, being born in the era of Legend of the Dragon King, Soul Masters of this era had another benefit: they could use the "Spirit Ascension Platform" to increase their Soul Spirit's age.

However, when using the Spirit Ascension Platform to increase a Soul Spirit's age, there would be a hurdle when the Soul Spirit reached ten thousand years. If it passed, it could continue improving; if it failed, it would have to remain at nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine years.

And every Hundred Thousand Years was also a major hurdle. What was rather unlucky was that even if a Soul Spirit reached the age of a ferocious beast, heavenly tribulation would still arrive.

However, none of these were problems for Lin Xingyu. After thinking it over, the ten-thousand-year and Hundred Thousand Years thresholds should not be able to stop him.

If the Spirit Ascension Platform could no longer pull it upward, he could completely use his own Soul Power to Nurture the Soul Spirit and improve it.

After thinking so much, Lin Xingyu returned to the present and slowly gazed at the Sea of Consciousness before him. Soul Masters of this entire era had another benefit: by contracting a Soul Spirit, they could open up their own Sea of Consciousness.

However, relying on his Golden Finger, Lin Xingyu had opened up his Sea of Consciousness on the day of his Martial Soul Awakening.

At this moment, three rays of light hovered above the Sea of Consciousness. One was Crimson Gold, his martial soul; one was golden, the Soul Spirit; and one was a silvery-white bright moon, the Meditation Method Lin Xingyu cultivated.

At this moment, silver moonlight shone over the Sea of Consciousness. The light continuously expanded the range of the Sea of Consciousness, and it was also constantly increasing Lin Xingyu's own Spiritual Power.

The Soul Spirit and martial soul had also sunk into the Sea of Consciousness, where they were continuously Nurtured and improved by Lin Xingyu's Spiritual Power.

Turning his head, Lin Xingyu watched the little Metal Soul Spirit constantly flying back and forth in front of him.

"Mm! I can't keep calling you Metal Soul Spirit anymore. You can be considered to have an owner now, so I should give you a name."

"What should I call you? A-Jin? A-Huo? A-Ling? These names don't feel very suitable for you, and they don't sound very nice either."

Lin Xingyu looked at the Metal Soul Spirit dancing through the air, at her long golden hair and green eyes. His heart stirred, then suddenly stirred again, and the image of a certain person instantly surfaced in his mind.

"In that case, from now on, your name will be Aya! From now on, you're also a member of this family!"

When the Metal Soul Spirit heard that Lin Xingyu was going to name her, she was first delighted. Then, while she was still thinking, Lin Xingyu had already settled it.

Aya immediately looked at Lin Xingyu with puffed-out cheeks. This was far too casual. He had not even asked for her opinion!

"From now on, your name will be Aya. This name is definitely nicer than all the others. Besides, if you're not satisfied, you can also choose from that pile of names just now."

Aya thought it over, but in the end, she gave up. With her not-so-high intelligence, she really could not tell which names were good.

Seeing that everything had already been arranged, Lin Xingyu withdrew from his Sea of Consciousness in satisfaction.

Lin Xingyu had just opened his eyes when he saw Lin Cheng standing guard in front of him.

"How is it? Did the Metal Soul Spirit fusion succeed?"

Lin Xingyu smiled and nodded. "It succeeded, and the soul skill is very good too!"

Hearing Lin Xingyu's words, Lin Cheng was delighted.

"In that case, come test your body data and see how much you've improved."

After saying this, Lin Cheng took out a soul device for testing Soul Power from his Storage Soul Device and handed it to Lin Xingyu.

Although, because of the existence of "High-Dimensional Vision," Lin Xingyu could not be said to know his physical condition like the back of his hand, it was still accurate down to the finest detail.

Even so, Lin Xingyu accepted it.

"Level twelve!"

Seeing this data, joy appeared on Lin Cheng's face. A mere hundred-year Soul Spirit had actually allowed Lin Xingyu's Soul Power to increase by two levels. It seemed the compatibility between the two sides was very high.

"Xingyu, come test your Spiritual Power!"

"One hundred seventy-five!" Lin Cheng stared, somewhat dumbfounded, at the Spiritual Power value that had been tested.

How long had it been since Lin Xingyu awakened? He had merely just fused with a Metal Soul Spirit, yet his Spiritual Power was already this high!

Lin Cheng pounced in front of Lin Xingyu, hugged him, and lifted him high into the air.

"My son Xingyu has the bearing of a Super Douluo!"

Lin Xingyu looked at Lin Cheng helplessly.

After Lin Cheng calmed down a little, he put Lin Xingyu down.

"What about the soul skill? How is the First Soul Skill you obtained? With such high compatibility, the soul skill it brought should be quite good!"

Lin Xingyu summoned his martial soul and Soul Spirit. His whole body was clad in armor, while the golden-haired, green-eyed Aya sat cross-legged on Lin Xingyu's shoulder, extremely adorable.

"My First Soul Skill, 'Metallurgy Stone,' allows me to refine metals and obtain certain traits, then apply them to myself."

"My son Xingyu has the talent of a Limit Douluo!"

When Lin Cheng heard Lin Xingyu's words, he immediately grew excited again and could not help shouting!

Lin Xingyu could not help rolling his eyes. You really couldn't say things like that!
