The door to the awakening room slowly opened. The old butler, dressed in a formal black suit, was waiting outside the door with a solemn expression.

Seeing the irrepressible joy on both Lin Xingyu's and Lin Cheng's faces as they walked out, the old butler immediately understood.

"Congratulations on successfully awakening your martial soul, young master. You will surely become a high-level Soul Master in the future!"

Lin Cheng laughed twice and said, "Thank you, Uncle Chen. Next, I'll have to trouble you to teach Xingyu how to cultivate. I'm going to find a compatible Soul Spirit for him."

"No problem, master. This is only what I should do. But to think the young master actually has Innate Full Soul Power—there's hope for him to become a Titled Douluo in the future!" the old butler answered respectfully.

Lin Cheng said to Lin Xingyu, "Although Uncle Chen's Soul Power Level isn't high, he has accumulated a great deal in martial soul research. He is a true theoretical master. Teaching you the Meditation Method is more than enough."

In the study on the second floor.

Lin Xingyu held a thick book on the Meditation Method while listening to the old butler's detailed explanations. Gradually, he gained more and more insight into the Meditation Method.

The Meditation Method in Lin Xingyu's hands was not particularly advanced. Compared to the Meditation Methods of those top forces, it was certainly lacking. But for members of the Lin Family whose martial soul was armor, it was absolutely the most suitable Meditation Method.

"Different Meditation Methods have different Soul Power Circulation routes. At the very beginning, people let Heaven and Earth Origin Energy from the outside world enter their bodies directly through nature itself. Then they learned to control the flow of soul power, guiding and transforming the outside Heaven and Earth Origin Energy. After that, according to the different characteristics of their own martial souls, they developed different Soul Power Circulation routes."

"The Meditation Method has always been going through version iterations!"

"During the Spirit Hall era twenty thousand years ago, the master Yu Xiaogang directly cobbled together a universal Meditation Method."

"And among Soul Masters, inheritance is basically passed down through bloodlines, so these Meditation Methods were also handed down. After being modified generation after generation, they developed their own distinct characteristics."

"Today's Meditation Methods are completely different from those of ancient and remote ancient times. In fact, the longer a Soul Master family's inheritance has lasted, the closer the Meditation Method in their hands will be to their martial soul."

This was also why Lin Xingyu said the Meditation Method in his hands was the most suitable for him.

"And in the various academies, what they teach their students should be a universal Meditation Method. This kind of Meditation Method has no distinctive traits and no bonuses, but it can completely adapt to everyone."

At this thought, Lin Xingyu's heart stirred. Mysterious Heaven Skill!

The Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Skill could adapt outstandingly to everyone. It did not matter what their martial soul was, because what the Mysterious Heaven Skill looked at was the meridians of the human body, not the martial soul of the human body.

Perhaps this was why the Tang Sect had clung to one Cultivation Method and left it unchanged ten thousand years ago. If they had modified the Cultivation Method on their own based on their knowledge, they could indeed have made it better, made it more suited to their own martial souls.

But it would have lost much of its universality. The Tang Sect was a sect, not a Soul Master family. It contained Soul Masters with all kinds of different martial souls. For most people, changing the Cultivation Method would have been worse than not changing it.

Furthermore, although the Mysterious Heaven Skill Tang San left behind was only the youthful version, it was still a first-rate Cultivation Method on the continent.

Although these were only Lin Xingyu's own guesses, his intuition told him that this was more or less the reality.

Later, after Huo Yuhao completed the Mysterious Heaven Skill, its power increased further. After the Sun Moon Federation unified the continent, the Tang Sect also developed very quickly.

The rise of Soul Tool Technology gave high-level Soul Masters a deeper understanding of the essence of the Meditation Method. Thus, during this ten-thousand-year period, all Meditation Methods advanced by leaps and bounds.

Compared to the Mysterious Heaven Skill, the biggest feature of ordinary Meditation Methods should be that their improvement of the martial soul took the martial soul as the core, while the Mysterious Heaven Skill took the human body's Essence, Qi, and Spirit as the core.

This should be the greatest difference between the two.

Lin Xingyu carefully used the knowledge he currently possessed to roughly sort out the situation regarding Meditation Methods.

He turned around and said solemnly to the old butler, "Grandpa Chen, I've finished reading the Meditation Method and memorized it all. Next, I want to try it out. Please help protect me from the side."

"No problem. Young master, just meditate without worry. I still have some experience with meditation. If anything goes wrong, I will remind you at once," the old butler said, stroking his beard.

Lin Xingyu took a deep breath, swiftly adjusted the rhythm of his breathing, sat cross-legged, and in an instant, the aura around him settled into stillness. Without hesitation, he tried to enter a meditative state.

Meditation could be done in any posture. At this moment, sitting cross-legged was merely to strengthen the psychological suggestion.

Without any obstruction, in that instant, he had already entered a meditative state with ease.

The old butler watched Lin Xingyu enter a meditative state in the blink of an eye, and the expression on his face could not help but change.

Such talent was rarely seen in a hundred years.

While meditating, Lin Xingyu only felt an indescribable peace in his heart. After that, his consciousness kept sinking.

When his consciousness cleared again, Lin Xingyu discovered that he had entered a special Dark Red Space.

Here, a dazzling suit of Crimson Gold armor stood there quietly. One ruby after another was embedded in the armor, and it was covered in all kinds of mysterious patterns.

The moment he saw this suit of armor, Lin Xingyu seemed to faintly smell endless iron and blood, war and slaughter. Enlightenment arose in his heart. This was his martial soul. This was the foundation of his extraordinary power in this world!

Lin Xingyu felt his consciousness turn into countless tiny particles, seeping into this suit of armor at extreme speed. In the blink of an eye, the two became one seamless whole, and the boundary between them could no longer be distinguished.

At this moment, Lin Xingyu suddenly felt his consciousness blur. Then he felt his consciousness continuously rise upward.

A special power awakened in the depths of his soul. It was something impossible to describe in words, seeming to exist and yet not exist, supreme and far beyond, yet also infinitesimal and minute.

The world in his eyes seemed to be shattered in an instant, turning into countless flickering points of light that scattered freely. Then, under the pull of a mysterious force, they constantly reorganized and merged, gradually evolving into one scene after another that Lin Xingyu could grasp intuitively.

Everything was extremely straightforward in his eyes. All kinds of obscure and difficult-to-understand images appeared in his consciousness, yet he could easily comprehend and master them.

It was just like standing at the peak of the dimensions of a high-dimensional world, overlooking all low-dimensional existence from a perspective that rose above the lower dimensions. Everything in the world was clearly presented, every subtle detail laid bare, without the slightest secret able to hide.

At this moment, his body and martial soul seemed to have their outer shells peeled away layer by layer. All the secrets of the past had nowhere to hide. Every detail, every change, was revealed with perfect clarity, unfolding distinctly within his perception.

This was his Golden Finger, "High-Dimensional Vision"!
