"Brother Xie Yue, eat this Soul Orb!"
Sun Sheng walked toward Xie Yue, who was rushing to recover his state, and without hesitation, he took out a Soul Orb and handed it over.
Xie Yue cautiously took the Soul Orb and asked in astonishment, "Brother Sun Sheng, didn't you say we needed to consolidate for half a year before taking Soul Orbs again?"
"In principle, that's true, but given your current state, this Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring will dissipate before you even recover."
"Although this Soul Orb cannot help you raise your Soul Power Level, it can help you recover your soul power in a very short time."
"Presumably, you don't want to let this very suitable Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring slip through your fingers."
Sun Sheng explained.
"Many thanks, Brother Sun Sheng!"
Hearing this, Xie Yue had a sudden realization. After expressing his excited gratitude, he swallowed the Soul Orb in one bite without hesitation.
Instantly, his withered body seemed to draw in a source, quickly helping him recover his soul power.
Yan watched Xie Yue, whose complexion was gradually turning rosy, filled with deep envy.
A Soul Orb!
This was a heaven-defying item.
He had never eaten one before.
Anyone who saw it would feel envious.
"Brother Yan, you can have this Soul Orb."
"Although you have already advanced to Spirit King and cannot use the Soul Orb to rise by one rank, it can save you at least a year of bitter cultivation."
"Take this opportunity to taste the charm of the Soul Orb as well."
Sun Sheng naturally saw Yan's envy, and without hesitation, he took out the last Soul Orb and handed it over.
A bowl of water had to be held level at the very least.
Otherwise, how could he command respect.
"Bro, Brother Sun Sheng, th-this isn't good!"
Yan looked at the handed Soul Orb, swallowed his saliva, and felt a little excited.
"Brother Yan, what's so bad about this? We are the Spirit Hall Golden Generation, we're family, so don't decline."
Seeing that he felt a bit shy about taking it, Sun Sheng decisively shoved it into his hand.
"Then many thanks for Brother Sun Sheng's kindness!"
Yan looked at the Soul Orb in his hand, feeling a tumult of emotions, both thrilled and moved.
Although the grievances between the two had been resolved, there was still some lingering resistance deep down in his heart.
Yet Sun Sheng could still give him such a precious treasure.
This kind of magnanimity and bearing forced him to feel deep admiration.
"Brother Yan, we don't need to say any extra words. You had better hurry up and eat the Soul Orb!"
Sun Sheng smiled with a shake of his head, patted Yan's shoulder, and walked toward Wang Wu, who wore a dejected expression.
In fact, shortly after Hu Liena and the three encountered the Death Mantis, Sun Sheng had carried Tuo Bayue on his back and followed the markers to find this place.
He had simply wanted to witness their true strength, so he remained hidden in the dark all along without coming out.
To be honest, he was also a bit unsatisfied with Wang Wu's performance.
Combat power was too weak!
No, it should be said that his martial soul was too weak.
This gap in martial souls was simply too obvious.
The higher his Soul Power Level, the greater the gap would become.
If Wang Wu was not allowed to undergo a transformation, it would be difficult for him to step into the realm of a Titled Douluo in this lifetime.
For this reason, Sun Sheng intended to let him defy the heavens and change his fate, utilizing the power of the Mutation Orb to elevate his martial soul quality.
"Brother Wang, do you know where you fall short compared to them?"
Sun Sheng walked up to Wang Wu and asked with overbearing poise.
Wang Wu smiled bitterly and replied, "The gap in martial souls."
"That's right. Although your martial soul Exploding Lion is not bad, compared to their martial souls, a huge gap indeed exists."
"However, you shouldn't be discouraged. Although the gap in martial souls is hard to bridge, it's not without a way."
When Sun Sheng reached this point, he paused, his expression calm yet solemn, devoid of any joking intent.
Seeing this, Wang Wu trembled all over, then thought of Sun Sheng's methods. He immediately knelt on one knee, cupped his fists, and saluted, "I ask the Great Sage to point out a clear path, and this subordinate will definitely not hesitate to die to repay this great kindness."
Sun Sheng smiled indifferently, helped him up, and said, "Brother Wang, get up quickly. Since you choose to follow me, little brother naturally must help you transform."
"This is a Mutation Orb. It can cause your martial soul to mutate. Although there is a high probability it will fail and cause the martial soul to weaken,"
"This is your only chance, and there is no other path."
"Do you dare to take the risk and give it a try?"
Sun Sheng took out a Mutation Orb and handed it over with a solemn expression.
"Many thanks, Great Sage. This subordinate is willing to take this risk!"
Wang Wu was startled at first, but then his expression turned resolute as he took the Mutation Orb from Sun Sheng's hand.
Although he did not believe that such heaven-defying items existed in the world, he believed in Sun Sheng.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, he was willing to try.
Even if this was a well-intentioned lie.
Or even if it was real, but the mutation failed, causing his martial soul to weaken.
He would not regret it either.
Because this was his last chance. No matter how weak his martial soul became, how much weaker could it get? Things were already like this.
"Good, then what are you waiting for? Eat it."
Sun Sheng was very satisfied with his resolve.
Even though the Mutation Orb possessed the ability to enhance martial soul mutation, it was only a catalyst; what truly determined the strength of the martial soul's mutation was his inner resolve.
As long as he was single-minded about becoming stronger, had firm willpower, and was willing to discard everything,
even if the Mutation Orb only provided a one-tenth success rate, it would be enough for him to achieve transformation and defy the heavens to change his fate.
"Understood, Great Sage. This subordinate certainly will not let you down."
Wang Wu replied with unyielding tenacity. He sat cross-legged in meditation and swallowed the Mutation Orb in one gulp.
The Mutation Orb melted upon contact with his mouth, turning into a violent surge of soul power that washed through his body and stimulated his potential.
Instantly, a violent wave of soul power erupted from Wang Wu's body, and a roaring male lion phantom engulfed in raging flames suddenly appeared behind him, roaring repeatedly.
This was precisely his martial soul, the Exploding Lion.
If the soul power of a Soul Orb was a peaceful river, then the soul power of the Mutation Orb was a torrential torrent converging from a hundred streams, constantly filled with unknown dangers.
Perhaps the power of the Mutation Orb was too intense, causing Wang Wu extreme discomfort.
Before long, his face turned as pale as paper, cold sweat poured out, and his entire body trembled slightly, as if he were enduring immense agony.
Yet no matter how painful it was, Wang Wu did not utter a single cry.
From this, it was evident just how steadfast his willpower and determination truly were.
Boom!
At some unknown moment, a blaze of flames suddenly ignited on Wang Wu's body, and his martial soul, the Exploding Lion, was also suddenly plunged into a scorching sea of fire.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Sun Sheng's mouth hooked upward slightly, revealing a gratified smile.
He knew Wang Wu had succeeded.
Next, Wang Wu's martial soul would be reborn through fire and undergo a transformation.
At this very moment, Xie Yue, who had long since absorbed the fifth soul ring, along with Yan, Hu Liena, and Tuo Bayue, looked over one after another, wearing expressions of shock.
They did not understand what had happened.
Yet upon seeing Sun Sheng's expression, they seemed to understand something.
It was probably another one of his creations.
A quarter of an hour later, Wang Wu's martial soul underwent a clear change, and an air of kingly authority grew about his body.
At this moment, his martial soul had mutated, evolving into the Exploding Lion King.
And his soul power, at the very instant his martial soul mutation succeeded, rose by yet another rank of soul power.
"Many thanks, Great Sage!"
Feeling the changes brought by his martial soul, Wang Wu excitedly knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully to show his gratitude.
At this moment, he completely surrendered to Sun Sheng in his heart.
Being able to have such a master in this lifetime was the fortune of his eight lifetimes.
