Martial Soul Evolution? No, It Was an All-Round Enhancement of His Talent

Holding the Atlas Spear, Yun Yuan's bearing was now completely different from before.

Dominating, resolute, and steady... all these qualities were perfectly embodied by Yun Yuan as he wielded the Heaven-Supporting Spear.

Moreover, Yun Yuan radiated a faint pressure. His sharp Spear Intent even drew Bibi Dong's attention.

Staring at the Lei Yi Flying Dragon, Yun Yuan gripped the Atlas Spear and thrust it forcefully toward its heart.

Under Teacher Qian Xunji's Soul Power suppression, the Lei Yi Flying Dragon could not move. It could only watch helplessly as the spear, sharp enough to cut through metal like mud, pierced its body.

"Roar—!"

A furious death roar rang out, and the Lei Yi Flying Dragon died with unwillingness, its eyes filled with resentment toward Yun Yuan.

Yun Yuan paid it no attention. He calmly sat down cross-legged and waited for the Soul Ring to appear.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong's face was filled with worry. But the matter had already reached this point, and there was nothing she could do to change Yun Yuan's decision. She could only encourage him.

"Junior Brother, do your best! I still plan to bully you in the future, so you absolutely must not have any accidents. Otherwise, Senior Sister will be very sad."

Hearing this, Yun Yuan glanced at Bibi Dong and smiled faintly as he assured his Senior Sister:

"Senior Sister, don't worry. I'll be fine."

As soon as he finished speaking, a Yellow Soul Ring appeared above the dead Lei Yi Flying Dragon.

Seeing the Soul Ring appear, excitement surfaced in Yun Yuan's eyes. With a thought, he began absorbing the Soul Ring according to the method Bibi Dong had taught him earlier.

First, he used Soul Power to draw the Soul Ring over. Then, he used Soul Power to refine the energy within it, turning it into the First Soul Ring of his Martial Soul.

The instant the Soul Ring's energy entered his body, Yun Yuan let out a muffled groan. Six hundred years of energy crashing into him was still quite a challenge for him at his current level.

As time passed, cold sweat soaked Yun Yuan's back, and a trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing Yun Yuan in this state, Bibi Dong anxiously paced back and forth. Even Qian Xunji, who was normally calm and indifferent, kept stamping his feet in place.

Clearly, both of them were deeply worried about Yun Yuan's condition, afraid that he would not withstand the energy impact of the six-hundred-year Soul Ring.

Two hours later.

Only then did Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong relax, because Yun Yuan's Soul Ring absorption had entered its final, stable phase.

Before long, the Soul Power around Yun Yuan withdrew. He slowly opened his eyes and sensed his condition.

But to his surprise,

he felt that his mind had become exceptionally clear and smooth. He had even gained new insights into the Meditation Method Qian Xunji had previously taught him.

That was not all. Yun Yuan also sensed that his Martial Soul had undergone a tremendous change.

The next moment, Yun Yuan rose to his feet and eagerly summoned his Martial Soul, the Atlas Spear.

The instant the Atlas Spear appeared, a flash of cold light swept out, making the surrounding air feel colder. The silver radiance emanating from its spearhead was even capable of piercing one's eyes.

This was merely an external change. What drew Yun Yuan's attention most was that the sharp Intent on the Atlas Spear had become far more terrifying than before.

"Could this be... Martial Soul Evolution?!"

Seeing this, Qian Xunji stepped forward and stared fixedly at the Silver-White Transparent Spear in Yun Yuan's hand. His palm trembled slightly.

"Teacher, are you saying that Junior Brother's Martial Soul has evolved?!"

The instant the Atlas Spear appeared, Bibi Dong had sensed that something about it had changed, but she had assumed it was merely an illusion.

However, Teacher Qian Xunji's astonished voice let her know that her feeling had been correct.

"Yes. If Teacher's perception is correct, Xiao Yuan's Atlas Spear is now no weaker than the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul inherited by our Spirit Hall."

In response to Bibi Dong's question, Qian Xunji nodded and then explained the strength of Yun Yuan's Martial Soul to her.

"So powerful?!"

Listening to Qian Xunji's explanation, Bibi Dong's mouth fell slightly open, her heart shaken.

At the same time, Bibi Dong was filled with envy toward Yun Yuan. His Martial Soul had already been powerful enough, yet after absorbing a Soul Ring, it had actually evolved as well.

What a Fortuitous Encounter. It was simply too enviable.

Nearby, Qian Xunji looked toward Yun Yuan. He no longer hesitated in his heart and had completely made up his mind. The future Pope of Spirit Hall would undoubtedly be the Youngster before him.

After his Martial Soul evolved, Yun Yuan's standing in Qian Xunji's heart rose another level. The Yun Yuan before him was his most precious Disciple. No one was allowed to harm this precious Disciple of his.

Suppressing his thoughts, Qian Xunji turned his gaze toward Yun Yuan and asked:

"Xiao Yuan, how much did you gain from absorbing this six-hundred-year Soul Ring?"

Qian Xunji wanted to see exactly how great Yun Yuan's gains had been from absorbing a Soul Ring beyond his Year Limit.

Hearing this, Yun Yuan emerged from his state of sensing the changes within himself. After examining his Soul Power Level and Soul Skill's effects, he replied to Qian Xunji with a smile.

"Teacher, my Soul Power Level has increased by three levels, reaching level thirteen."

"As for the Soul Skill..."

At this point, the first Yellow Soul Ring on Yun Yuan's body lit up. His surrounding Soul Power surged, and he shouted:

"First Soul Skill, Wind Chasing Lightning!"

As soon as Yun Yuan's voice fell, purple lightning flashed across the Atlas Spear in his hand, while currents of wind coiled around the entire spear.

The next moment, Yun Yuan swung the spear in his hand and thrust it toward a large tree three people could embrace some distance away.

One thrust, and the tree was pierced through.

Yun Yuan's spear directly pierced through the entire tree at a speed invisible to ordinary people. Traces of lightning power still lingered around the hole that had pierced through it.

After displaying it, Yun Yuan began explaining his First Soul Skill.

"Teacher, my First Soul Skill can add the power of Wind Chasing and Lightning Burst. More importantly, it can increase my spear speed and my own speed."

"My spear speed is doubled, while my own speed increases by fifty percent."

Yun Yuan was fairly satisfied with his First Soul Skill. Not only did it provide additional attribute enhancements, but it also increased his spear speed and his own speed.

However, what satisfied Yun Yuan most about this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest was that his talent seemed to have been enhanced in every aspect. Moreover, the enhancement was considerable—his former talent had practically doubled.

Yun Yuan had an unrealistic conjecture about this. When he broke through to a higher realm in the future, would his talent be enhanced again? That was what he was curious about.

If things truly turned out as he imagined, Yun Yuan could hardly imagine how bright his future would be!

Perhaps even the Deity Realm would be easy for him to break through into.

His original talent had been comparable to that of the Sky Pillar Douluo Yun Ming from Twenty Thousand Years Later. At his Peak Period, Yun Ming had been the strongest person on the continent!

At his Peak Period, Yun Ming had already stepped halfway into the Deity Realm and created a Demigod Rank.

If the God Realm had not been absent, Yun Yuan believed that with Yun Ming's talent, he definitely could have become a Deity.
