Spirit Connection Realm! My Senior Brother Is Zhen Hua!

Moreover, after the feedback from burning Wang Tao, his Spiritual Power had improved considerably.

This made him even more certain that his Spiritual Power was not low.

Unfortunately, he had not had another chance to experiment since then, so he could not determine whether what had happened with Wang Tao was an isolated case or something that could work on everyone.

Of course, one thing was certain.

When he had refined Deep Silver a month ago, he had been able to clearly sense the condition inside the metal through his Martial Soul.

However, it had not given him feedback like when he had "burned" Wang Tao.

That was within his expectations, so he was not disappointed.

"Sit down, relax your body and mind. There's no need to be nervous."

At that moment, Meng Canglan finally finished his lengthy explanation and had Lin Jin sit in a chair.

At the same time, a metal helmet descended from above and covered Lin Jin's head.

Buzz!

A faint hum sounded, and a gentle white glow lit up on the metal helmet.

Mu Chen and Meng Canglan turned their eyes toward the Spirit Guidance Screen nearby.

Data flickered across it.

To their surprise, the numbers on the screen rose rapidly, surpassing 30 in the blink of an eye!

That was already the mid-stage of the Spirit Origin Realm, meaning his Spiritual Power could support two White Ten-Year Spirit Souls or one Yellow Hundred-Year Spirit Soul.

Moreover, for a six-year-old child who had only recently awakened his Martial Soul, this was already an exceptionally impressive level of Spiritual Power.

Yet from the rate at which the data was climbing, it was clear that this was far from Lin Jin's limit.

Meng Canglan's gaze grew more serious as he continued staring at the screen.

Mu Chen had long estimated Lin Jin's level of Spiritual Power. Although he had spent the past month focused on nourishing Lin Jin's body and had not tested his Spiritual Power, how could he have failed to notice anything at all?

Still, what was happening before him exceeded even his expectations.

Could he possibly reach the Spirit Connection Realm directly?

The thought surfaced in Mu Chen's mind, but he immediately shook his head.

The Spirit Connection Realm meant being able to support a Purple Thousand-Year Spirit Soul. That was a level only a small number of geniuses could reach when they became Three-Ring Spirit Venerables.

Mu Chen and Meng Canglan each had their own thoughts, but their eyes remained fixed on the screen.

40... 45...

49...

It still had not stopped!

50!

The peak of the Spirit Origin Realm, yet it still had not stopped!

The number continued to rise steadily.

A moment later, when they saw the number "66" freeze on the screen, both of them suppressed the urge to shout, "Six hundred sixty-six!"

The Spirit Connection Realm!

He had truly reached the Spirit Connection Realm.

This meant that the current Lin Jin could already support two Yellow Hundred-Year Spirit Souls, or one Purple Thousand-Year Spirit Soul!

"A genius, an absolute genius!"

"If we tell Lady Leng Yaozhu this news, she definitely won't be able to resist coming to take him as her disciple!"

Meng Canglan cried out inwardly. He could no longer suppress his excitement and wanted to end everything here as quickly as possible. Even if he had to exhaust all his connections, he would deliver word to Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu.

Mu Chen, standing nearby, was equally shaken.

He had not expected this outcome either. Otherwise, he definitely would not have let Lin Jin undergo this test and would have simply selected a Spirit Soul directly.

But it was too late for regrets now.

Seeing that Meng Canglan's aura had clearly changed, Mu Chen's expression shifted slightly. Then he made up his mind, parted his lips, and sent a voice into Meng Canglan's ears.

Meng Canglan froze, then abruptly turned to look at Mu Chen, his eyes full of disbelief.

Only after a moment did he smile bitterly. "No wonder, no wonder..."

Then the fervor and impulsiveness in his eyes vanished in an instant.

At the same time, he said, "I will keep everything that happened today confidential."

Mu Chen smiled in satisfaction, but a trace of sorrow flashed through his eyes. If he could reach that realm himself, why would he need to borrow another person's name?

Yes, he had only transmitted one sentence to Meng Canglan just now—"My senior brother is Zhen Hua!"

That single sentence was enough to shatter all of Meng Canglan's fantasies.

Offend a Divine Craftsman? What a joke.

Even if Leng Yaozhu came in person, she would not choose to offend Zhen Hua.

After all, there was currently only one Divine Craftsman: Zhen Hua.

If they offended Zhen Hua, would the younger generation of prodigies still be able to obtain Heavenly Refined metals?

Of course.

Mu Chen did not know that Meng Canglan wanted to snatch Lin Jin away in order to curry favor with Leng Yaozhu. But whatever the reason, the two words "Zhen Hua" were extremely effective.

Lin Jin knew none of this. When he opened his eyes, the metal helmet had already risen away.

"Very good." Mu Chen patted his shoulder, his face full of smiles.

Meng Canglan also smiled. "A young prodigy with a promising future."

Lin Jin blinked and saw the number "66" on the screen. The corner of his mouth twitched. What a truly lucky six-six.

Before long, the three arrived in another hall.

Hundreds of Hundred-Year Spirit Souls and a small number of Thousand-Year Spirit Souls were displayed within.

Even Lin Jin was dazzled for a moment.

With a series of operations from Meng Canglan, every fire-attribute Spirit Soul was displayed before them.

There were sixty-three types in total.

Among them, beast-type Spirit Souls with fire-attribute abilities made up the majority, followed by plant-type Spirit Souls, along with a small number of Artificial Spirit Souls.

Mu Chen said, "A Jin, your Spiritual Power has now reached the Spirit Connection Realm. You can support a Purple Thousand-Year Spirit Soul."

"As your teacher, I will not interfere with your choice, but I still need to explain the pros and cons first."

"Being able to choose a Thousand-Year Spirit Soul as your first Spirit Soul is undoubtedly something everyone dreams of. After all, it means a powerful spirit skill and a solid foundation."

"Furthermore, it can significantly increase your Soul Power."

"However, a Purple Thousand-Year Spirit Soul can provide three Spirit Rings. While that means you will not need to consider Spirit Souls again before becoming a Four-Ring Spirit Ancestor..."

"As Tower Master Meng said earlier, Spirit Souls depend on Spiritual Power, but the Spirit Rings they produce will still place pressure on a Spirit Master's body."

"The pressure three Thousand-Year Spirit Rings place on the body is not something an ordinary person can endure."

"If things go wrong, death from bodily explosion is entirely possible."

"Your body has been carefully nurtured and strengthened greatly. Calling it a transformation would not be an exaggeration, so you can barely endure one Thousand-Year Spirit Ring."

"But such improvement through nurturing also has its limits."

"I need not say anything else. You are not foolish, and I believe you understand what your teacher means."

Meng Canglan's eyes shifted slightly, but he did not refute him. It was simply the truth.

Originally, he had assumed that Mu Chen was a blacksmith wholly immersed in forging and had overlooked these advantages and dangers. He had planned to point them out when Lin Jin made his choice, thereby earning some goodwill.

For that reason, he had deliberately displayed every fire-attribute Purple Thousand-Year Spirit Soul in storage directly before Lin Jin.

Yet he had not expected Mu Chen to be so meticulous, causing his plan to fall through.
