Effects of the Third Soul Ring (Please Follow and Read!!! Please Recommend!)

The four of them swiftly left the Star Dou Great Forest.

Along the way, Su Yu practically walked with a spring in his step. This Third Soul Skill was even more satisfying than he had expected.

After absorbing the soul ring, Su Yu's Blue Silver Grass advanced as he had hoped. Its Life Attribute surged, becoming the primary attribute of his Blue Silver Grass.

The effects brought by the soul ring had also perfectly inherited the traits of the Exploding Heaven Chili.

First came the passive enhancement. The recovery speed of Su Yu's Blue Silver Grass vitality greatly increased.

Note that this was the recovery of vitality, not the recovery of Blue Silver Grass itself.

Moreover, as Su Yu's cultivation level increased, the upper limit of his Blue Silver Grass vitality would also rise substantially.

Next was the active effect. The Exploding Heaven Chili's soul ring granted Su Yu explosive power. By using his Third Soul Skill—Exploding Mark, he could gain an all-around thirty percent boost.

Of course, such enhancement came with conditions. It required the consumption of Life Marks—marks condensed from vitality. Condensing each mark also consumed a large amount of vitality.

Moreover, because what erupted was vitality, it would bring severe aftereffects and leave him in a weakened state.

However, both the vitality consumed and the weakness after the eruption could recover relatively quickly. This was also an inherited trait of the Exploding Heaven Chili.

Vitality and weakened states recovered quickly, but condensing the marks required much more time.

Currently, Su Yu was a Soul Elder and could condense three marks.

Absorbing the soul ring had granted him one Life Mark. Su Yu estimated that condensing the second Life Mark would take ten days, while continuing to condense the third mark might take fifteen days!

To condense a mark from nothing, the first mark took about five days.

So far, all three of Su Yu's soul rings had primarily enhanced his vitality attribute while also granting additional abilities.

His First Soul Skill restored soul power and recovered his condition.

His Second Soul Skill purified himself and removed negative statuses.

His Third Soul Skill erupted.

The combination of these soul skill effects was also satisfying, fitting perfectly with Su Yu's main path of increasing vitality.

And the effects of all three soul skills were built upon the strength of Blue Silver Grass's Life Attribute.

As Su Yu further developed the Life Attribute of his Blue Silver Grass, and as later soul rings continued to enhance it, the effects of these soul skills would gradually reach the top tier among those of the same rank!

"Brother Su, are you really not coming with us to Shrek Academy?"

"That's right, Su Yu. Your age and Soul Power Level fully meet Shrek Academy's admission requirements."

Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and Huo Yuhao could not understand Su Yu's decision.

They planned to make one final attempt to persuade Su Yu and save his future.

Only by going to Shrek Academy could one maximize their own potential!

Su Yu shook his head and once again declined their goodwill.

"No. I already have a goal."

The four went their separate ways.

Su Yu headed west.

Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and Huo Yuhao headed toward Shrek Academy.

The relationship between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire was tense.

The situation along the border between the two sides was severe.

However, some treacherous back roads remained passable.

For one thing, merchant caravans needed to travel between the various countries. For another, complete isolation was impossible.

Su Yu joined Ten Thousand Household Building's latest merchant caravan and crossed the border with them.

"Brother Su, this is one thousand Gold Soul Coins. Consider it my personal sponsorship for you. It isn't much, but it should be enough for you to live in Ming Capital."

Su Yu held a letter in his hand. Along with it was a card containing one thousand Gold Soul Coins.

Ming Capital was the most prosperous place in the Sun Moon Empire. It was also the caravan's destination. Only there could they acquire enough rare goods to take back to the Star Luo Empire and resell.

After arriving in Ming Capital with the merchant caravan, Su Yu headed straight for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

There were quite a few students and parents registering. Everyone stood in orderly lines, and Su Yu obediently went to the very back to queue up. After all, queuing was a good virtue.

The line was long, and he estimated that he would have to wait most of the day. Su Yu simply used the time to cultivate.

His consciousness sank into his body as he controlled his soul power to spread through him as much as possible, sensing the distribution and locations of his meridians.

The Meditation Method and Body Tempering Method worked together to improve his Cultivation Speed, but Su Yu was still not satisfied.

Although the Body Tempering Method had formed a complete cycle, it was merely cobbled together without the slightest technique involved. Su Yu had been trying to find special soul power circulation routes.

Just like the activation of soul skills, circulating soul power in a specific manner could produce unique effects.

And every segment of the meridians within the body was equivalent to a special circulation method, capable of granting soul power additional properties.

In fact, Su Yu had already discovered a preliminary structure.

When soul power circulated through here, it could draw in the surrounding Heaven and Earth Origin Qi. In other words, if he incorporated this step into the Body Tempering Method, he would draw in origin qi faster.

As long as he found another structure that could accelerate the absorption of origin qi, the effects of the Body Tempering Method could be greatly improved!

As he explored, time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, the line ahead had reached its end, and it was finally Su Yu's turn.

"Hello, Teacher. I want to apply for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy."

The teacher in charge glanced at Su Yu's chest and saw no Soul Engineer certification badge. He then looked at Su Yu's hands and eyes.

He did not look like someone who had ever held a carving knife.

His gaze was dull, so he was even less likely to have carved a Core Array.

It was obvious that the teacher's attitude changed. He was not exactly cold, but much of his initial enthusiasm had faded.

"You aren't a Soul Engineer?"

"No. I want to apply to the Martial Soul Department."

Su Yu had already investigated before coming. His goal was to first enter the Martial Soul Department, then submit a Transfer Application during the New Student Assessment.

"Have you practiced using soul tools?"

Although Su Yu had previously owned a Third-Level Soul Tool dagger, he had never practiced with it. Later, he had even sold the soul tool.

He shook his head.

The teacher in charge sighed.

"You have neither studied Soul Engineer knowledge nor used soul tools. What makes you qualified to join the Royal Soul Engineer Academy?"

"Teacher, do I qualify to join the academy like this?"

As Su Yu spoke, he released his martial soul.

Blue Silver Grass brimming with vitality emerged from his palm. Three soul rings—one yellow and two purple—floated around his body, rising and falling rhythmically.

After being tempered by three soul rings, Su Yu's Blue Silver Grass had now undergone a complete transformation.

Although its Blue Silver Grass shape could still be recognized, it had changed utterly from within.

Dense purple patterns covered the Blue Silver Grass, along with specks of starlight. It contained a vitality filled with an explosive sensation.

Even without Su Yu actively urging it, surging vitality rushed toward them, delighting both body and mind.

"Soul Elder!"

"Thousand Year Second Ring!"
