Strength Over Skill, Golden Earth Dragon!

Electrolux was clearly quite satisfied with his own handiwork.

He spoke slowly: "Life Gold is a solid, purified form of life force, a heavenly treasure that can only emerge after millions of years of gestation."

"A living being represents one life, but a piece of Life Gold represents an entire world."

"After I fused the Life Gold with your heart, you've essentially gained an undying body. Your regenerative ability is so terrifying it far exceeds ordinary imagination."

"At the same time, nourished by the Life Gold, your spiritual power will grow at twice the normal rate, and your second martial soul now has the chance to independently choose and bear attribute power."

"Linyuan, from now on, your path of cultivation will be smooth sailing!"

Ye Linyuan's face was also full of excitement.

In the original story, even with Huo Gua's heaven-defying luck, he only obtained this supreme treasure at the age of twelve, allowing him to undergo a transformation.

But he was a full six years earlier than that!

As everyone knows, in the path of cultivation, the earlier the better.

Being able to obtain a fortuitous encounter a year early and solidify one's foundation could later leave peers far behind by a huge margin.

Ye Linyuan's talent was already terrifying, and now, having just awakened his martial soul, he had driven his foundation deep into the earth's core.

How much stronger would he be than his peers in a few years?

Unimaginable!

Absolutely unimaginable!

"Alright, Linyuan, take your time to comprehend it yourself. This old man needs to go back and rest as well." Elder Yi left these final words and returned to his heart.

"Yes, Elder Yi."

Ye Linyuan agreed, took a deep breath to calm his emotions slightly, then said to Du Bùsǐ, who was waiting outside the door: "Teacher, I'm done. Please come in."

Just now, when Electrolux was modifying Ye Linyuan's heart, he had sealed the entire room with his Divine Sense.

Even though Du Bùsǐ's cultivation was powerful, he couldn't sense anything unusual.

Hearing Ye Linyuan's voice, he rushed in immediately.

And the moment he saw Ye Linyuan, his gaze froze for a second.

On the surface, Ye Linyuan didn't seem to have changed much.

His skin was just a bit fairer, and his eyes a little brighter.

But when Du Bùsǐ's spiritual power fell upon Ye Linyuan, he had the illusion that he wasn't facing a person, but a piece of rough jade brimming with life!

Du Bùsǐ was startled and uncertain: "Linyuan, this is..."

Ye Linyuan smiled slightly, picked up a knife from the table.

Then, under Du Bùsǐ's stunned gaze, he stabbed it fiercely into his palm!

He didn't use any soul power to defend himself. The sharp blade tip pierced into his palm, and bright red blood seeped out.

Du Bùsǐ didn't know what Ye Linyuan meant by this, but he didn't stop him.

Because he knew Ye Linyuan must have a reason for doing so.

Sure enough.

The next second.

"Thump-thump! Thump-thump!"

A dull heartbeat suddenly sounded from Ye Linyuan's chest.

Not only did the sound grow louder, but its speed also increased noticeably.

And with this sound, an invisible spring of life seemed to appear at Ye Linyuan's chest.

A dense aura of life force burst forth from his heart, surging toward the wound on his hand.

Du Bùsǐ's body trembled, and he showed an expression of disbelief.

Because he clearly saw.

The stabbed wound on Ye Linyuan's palm was healing at a visible speed!

In less than a minute, the wound on Ye Linyuan's hand had completely recovered.

He wiped away the remaining blood, and the skin on his palm was smooth and delicate, showing no trace of injury at all!

Du Bùsǐ rubbed his eyes vigorously, almost thinking he was seeing things.

After all, although a soul master's physique was stronger than an ordinary person's, it was absolutely impossible to achieve such a fast healing speed.

Let alone Ye Linyuan, who was only a quasi-two-ring Soul Grand Master; even a Titled Douluo couldn't reach this level.

Unless his martial soul was a healing type!

Du Bùsǐ couldn't help asking: "Linyuan, did you get this ability from that Engraving Knife just now?"

Ye Linyuan grinned: "Yes, Teacher."

Du Bùsǐ's mind was a complete mess.

No, he had clearly sensed a dense aura of evil and coldness from that object just now.

The auctioneer at the Starlight Auction House had also said that every previous owner of this item had ended up killed by it.

How could something so sinister, once it fell into his own disciple's hands, instantly transform into a top-tier healing tool?

This didn't seem like an Evil God's item at all—it was clearly from the Life Goddess's lineage!

Ye Linyuan smiled and explained the issue of the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife to Du Bùsǐ, but he rephrased the purification process.

"Teacher, you may not know this, but the essence of this Soul Devouring Engraving Knife is actually Life Gold."

"Mm, to put it simply, it's a rare metal condensed with a vast amount of life force."

"It's just that the knife's creator polluted it with the resentful spirits of the dead, turning it into a baleful blade."

"The Evil God's inheritance helped me dispel the resentment on the baleful blade, restoring its original form."

Du Bùsǐ nodded in sudden understanding: "So that's how it is."

Ye Linyuan chuckled: "Teacher, the purified Soul Devouring Engraving Knife has already been fused with me."

"With the powerful life aura of the Life Gold nourishing me, my vitality is now as strong as you just witnessed."

"If I use the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well to temper my body in my current state, do you think there's still any problem?"

Du Bùsǐ exclaimed in admiration: "As long as you can withstand the pain of tempering, there's naturally no problem now."

No kidding, with such rich and pure life force constantly replenishing any losses.

The hidden danger of damaging one's foundation naturally ceased to exist.

Ye Linyuan looked north, a look of anticipation on his face: "Teacher, the opportunity here has been secured."

"Let's go. It's time to hunt for my second Soul Ring in the Star Dou Great Forest."

Reminded by Ye Linyuan, Du Bùsǐ slapped his forehead: "I almost forgot about that!"

"A six-year-old Soul Grand Master—if Shrek, who claims to take in all the freaks under heaven, finds out, they'd be drooling with envy, hahaha!"

With the item in hand, Du Bùsǐ no longer bothered to hide his movements.

A powerful pressure of soul power suddenly erupted from the small inn.

Two figures shot into the sky, completely ignoring the rule that everyone in Star Luo City must use the city gates, turning into a streak of green light flying straight toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

The powerhouses in Star Luo City were simultaneously startled by Du Bùsǐ's imposing aura, rushing out to check the situation.

Inside the Imperial Palace.

Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei stared at the fleeing light disappearing into the sky, his expression grim.

He clenched his fist and snorted angrily: "Judging by the aura, it should be a Super Douluo."

"Hmph! These people are increasingly disregarding my Star Luo Imperial Clan!"

Beside him, a young woman with golden hair comforted him: "Experts are easy to find, but top-tier powerhouses are rare."

"I hear the White Tiger Duke's son has astonishing talent, even surpassing the White Tiger Duke himself."

"Once he grows up, our Star Luo Empire might finally have a Super Douluo of our own."

Thinking of the news from Shrek, Xu Jiawei nodded slightly, a hint of expectation in his eyes: "Let's hope so."
