I Want to Grow Up

Although these powerful Soul Skills held great promise, Ye Lan's current predicament was his Innate Soul Power talent of Rank 3. Breaking through Rank 30 would already be difficult, and he simply could not support the Soul Ring slots needed to build an entire system.

Ye Lan was already eleven years old. If he did not improve his talent while he was still young—

Once his body had fully developed, it would be too late to turn things around.

Ye Lan continuously browsed the Skill Selection panel and finally discovered a Gold Rank Soul Skill:

Soul Skill Name: I Want to Grow Up

Passive Effect: Blue Silver Grass absorbs the growth obsession trait of the Sun-Chasing Incineration Tree, gradually absorbing sunlight and evolving into Radiant Life Grass. Detailed Description: Bathe in sunlight for a full eight hours each day to increase cultivation speed by 1% and Blue Silver Grass vitality by 1%. Every 100% increase in cultivation speed and vitality counts as one stage. Each stage increases the required sunlight exposure time by 30%.

Note: Sunlight exposure is limited to eight hours per day. Cultivation speed can increase up to Innate Soul Power Rank 20. At that point, Blue Silver Grass evolves into Blue Silver Grass—Radiant Life Grass, gaining the Ultimate Light and Ultimate Life attributes. With Innate Soul Power Rank 20, an Ultimate Attribute Martial Soul will no longer limit cultivation speed.

Active Soul Skill: None.

As Ye Lan read the description of I Want to Grow Up, his eyes shone brightly. Wasn't this the Douluo Continent version of getting stronger just by basking in the sun?

It could evolve into Blue Silver Grass—Radiant Life Grass with dual Ultimate Attributes! His own talent could also grow to Innate Soul Power Rank 20, allowing him to overcome the slow cultivation problem of Ultimate Martial Souls during the middle stages.

Although the Innate Soul Power gained from sunbathing had an upper limit and could only reach Rank 20—

There was no limit to the vitality bonus of Blue Silver Grass. It was only that as the vitality bonus grew, the rate at which it increased would gradually decline.

The growth in cultivation speed was easy to calculate. In 100 days, Ye Lan's talent could reach Innate Soul Power Rank 6!

In 130 days, his talent would rise to Innate Soul Power Rank 9, reaching full Soul Power!

Following that pattern, it would take more than 1,200 days in total for Blue Silver Grass to evolve into Radiant Life Grass—nearly three years.

After three and a half years, Radiant Life Grass's vitality bonus would be 500%. After more than ten years, it would be 1,000%. The further it went, the harder it would become to improve.

Unfortunately, this was only Radiant Life Grass's vitality bonus, not Ye Lan's own vitality bonus.

Fortunately, as his talent improved, Ye Lan's physical constitution would also improve further.

In the end, Ye Lan's Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power talent would reach the same level as Qian Renxue's!

The only pity was that I Want to Grow Up had no Active Soul Skill. But a Soul Skill capable of evolving one's Martial Soul and talent would likely drive the entire Douluo Continent mad!

Ye Lan then looked through the other Soul Skills and found none better than I Want to Grow Up, so he actively locked onto "I Want to Grow Up."

"Uncle Tao, I'm going to absorb this Soul Ring. It might take a while," Ye Lan said as he turned around.

Su Yuntao nodded and encouraged Ye Lan. "Xiao Lan, keep it up!! In my experience, you must remain conscious at all times when absorbing a Soul Ring! Only while conscious can you absorb the Soul Power within the Soul Ring to the greatest extent."

"Uncle Tao, I'll be careful." Su Yuntao then stood guard for Ye Lan.

Ye Lan sat cross-legged amid the fragments of the Sun-Chasing Incineration Tree, calmed his mind, and began absorbing the Soul Ring.

Before long, several Blue Silver Grass plants glowing with blue light emerged from Ye Lan's body. They swayed in the wind and slowly approached the Sun-Chasing Tree's Soul Ring.

Soon, the Soul Ring of the Sun-Chasing Incineration Tree was drawn in by Ye Lan's Blue Silver Grass and began circling continuously around his body.

Ye Lan began absorbing the Soul Ring of the Sun-Chasing Incineration Tree.

The yellow Soul Ring gradually shrank until it was the size of a bracelet.

The Soul Ring of the Sun-Chasing Incineration Tree drifted into Ye Lan's Blue Silver Grass. At that moment, he gradually felt a warm current within his body, soaking through every meridian in his body.

Within Ye Lan's Spirit Sea, the Blue Silver Grass was enveloped in golden light.

Gradually, the Blue Silver Grass was assimilated by the golden radiance.

The blue patterns slowly faded, while pale golden patterns began spreading across the entire Blue Silver Grass.

At that moment, all the Soul Power within Ye Lan's body seemed to ignite.

Ye Lan's mind and will were utterly engulfed by scorching heat. It was too hot!

Ye Lan felt as though he were about to be cooked through, as if he had become a Flame Lord covered in fire!

Just then, the Golden Blue Silver Grass in his Spirit Sea began absorbing all the golden light!

As the Blue Silver Grass absorbed it, Ye Lan's body gradually began to change. His meridians became tougher, his bones harder, and his muscles became incredibly supple, as though they had been reborn.

Ye Lan slowly began to feel coolness amid the blazing heat, followed immediately by the sound of something shattering.

This was the sign that Ye Lan had broken through his Soul Power limit. He was no longer at Rank 10 Soul Power.

At this moment, Ye Lan felt more refreshed than he ever had since birth, as though every pore on his body were breathing in fresh air.

When Ye Lan slowly opened his eyes, he discovered that a night had passed and the sun had risen in the east.

Ye Lan found that the blue patterns on his Blue Silver Grass had vanished. It was now covered in pale golden patterns.

The once azure grass stalks had transformed into an emerald hue, while the veins of its leaves shimmered with a molten gold glow!

Aside from its color, the greatest change was the size of the Blue Silver Grass.

Its stalks were now roughly ten centimeters thick, and its leaves had grown much larger. The largest leaf was even bigger than Ye Lan's head.

Judging by its appearance, anyone unaware of Ye Lan's circumstances would never think this was Blue Silver Grass.

The Blue Silver Grass glowing with golden light looked exceptionally noble, with green and pale gold intertwining in a dazzlingly pleasing sight.

Ye Lan also discovered that his body had undergone tremendous changes. His muscles possessed remarkable flexibility, and Ye Lan knew this was a sign that the upper limit of his physical constitution had increased.

After Ye Lan stood up, Su Yuntao cried out in surprise, "Xiao Lan, you grew taller again! You grew five centimeters overnight. Your hair changed too—it's dark gold now. You're even more handsome, and you look much sunnier overall!"

Only then did Ye Lan notice that his eye level was slightly different from yesterday's.

Ye Lan then sensed the change in his Soul Power. Soul Master Rank 11!

For a Soul Ring from a nearly 700-year-old Sun-Chasing Incineration Tree, gaining only one rank did not make Ye Lan feel any regret at all.

That was because the Soul Skill I Want to Grow Up had consumed a massive amount of Soul Power.

The Sun-Chasing Incineration Tree was highly compatible with Blue Silver Grass, and most of the Soul Power had been used to evolve the Blue Silver Grass.

Being able to trade his current Soul Power for a higher future limit was an incredibly worthwhile exchange!

With the Soul Skill I Want to Grow Up, Ye Lan no longer needed to worry about cultivation speed!

Su Yuntao immediately asked about Ye Lan's Soul Skill. Ye Lan explained, "Uncle Tao, unfortunately, this Soul Ring didn't grant me a Soul Skill. But it evolved my Blue Silver Grass! My Innate Soul Power seems to have evolved from Rank 3 to Rank 8!"
