Electrolux was clearly very satisfied with his masterpiece.
He said slowly, "Life Gold is the solid, purified form of life force, a heavenly treasure that can only possibly emerge after being nurtured for tens of millions of years."
"One 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 have essentially gained an immortal body. Your recovery abilities will be so terrifying that they far surpass anything ordinary people could imagine."
"At the same time, nourished by the Life Gold, your spiritual power will grow twice as fast as that of ordinary people. Your second martial soul will also gain the opportunity to choose freely and bear attribute powers."
"Lin Yuan, from this day onward, your path of cultivation will be smooth sailing!"
Ye Linyuan's face was equally filled with excitement.
In the original story, even with Huo Gua's heaven-defying luck, he had only obtained this supreme treasure at the age of twelve, transforming himself in the process.
Yet Ye Linyuan had received it a full six years earlier than him!
Everyone knew that when it came to cultivation, the earlier, the better.
Obtaining an opportunity even a year sooner and building a solid foundation could allow one to leave peers far behind later on.
Ye Linyuan's talent had already been terrifying. Now, having only just awakened his martial soul, he had driven his foundation all the way to the earth's core.
How much stronger would he be than his peers in a few years?
It was unimaginable!
Simply unimaginable!
"Alright, Lin Yuan. Reflect on it properly yourself. This old man must return and rest as well," Elder Yi said before returning to his heart.
"Yes, Elder Yi."
Ye Linyuan acknowledged him, took a deep breath to settle his emotions slightly, then called out to Du Busi, who was waiting outside the door. "Teacher, I'm done. You can come in now."
When Electrolux had remodeled Ye Linyuan's heart earlier, he had sealed the entire room with the power of his Divine Sense.
Even with Du Busi's formidable cultivation, he had been unable to sense anything unusual.
Upon hearing Ye Linyuan's voice, he rushed inside at once.
The instant he saw Ye Linyuan, his gaze froze.
On the surface, Ye Linyuan did not seem to have changed much.
His skin had merely become fairer, and his eyes somewhat clearer.
Yet when Du Busi's spiritual power settled on Ye Linyuan, he had the strange illusion that he was not facing a person, but an uncut piece of jade filled with boundless vitality!
Du Busi asked uncertainly, "Lin Yuan, this is...?"
Ye Linyuan smiled faintly and picked up a knife from the table.
Then, under Du Busi's stunned gaze, he viciously stabbed his own palm!
He did not use any Soul Power to defend himself. The sharp tip pierced his palm, and bright red blood seeped out.
Du Busi did not know what Ye Linyuan meant by this, but he did not stop him.
He knew that Ye Linyuan had to have a reason for doing it.
Sure enough.
The next second—
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
The heavy sound of a heartbeat suddenly echoed from Ye Linyuan's chest.
Not only had it grown louder, but its rhythm had also become noticeably faster.
As the sound arose, it seemed as though an invisible spring of life had appeared in Ye Linyuan's chest.
Dense life energy surged from his heart and flooded toward the wound on his hand.
Du Busi's body jolted, his face filling with disbelief.
Because he clearly saw it.
The wound in Ye Linyuan's palm was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
In less than a minute, the injury on Ye Linyuan's hand had completely healed.
He wiped away the remaining blood. The skin on his palm was smooth and delicate, without the slightest trace of injury!
Du Busi rubbed his eyes hard, nearly thinking that he was seeing things.
A soul master's physique might be tougher than that of an ordinary person, but it was absolutely impossible for it to heal this quickly.
Ye Linyuan was only a Soul Grandmaster on the verge of obtaining his second ring. Even a Titled Douluo could not achieve such a thing.
Unless his martial soul was of the healing type!
Du Busi could not help asking, "Lin Yuan, did you gain this ability from that Engraving Knife just now?"
Ye Linyuan grinned. "Yes, Teacher."
Du Busi's mind was a complete mess.
No, he had clearly sensed dense evil and chilling energy from that object earlier.
The auctioneer at the Starlight Auction House had also said that everyone who possessed it had eventually been killed by it.
So how had such a sinister item, upon reaching his disciple's hands, immediately transformed into an ultimate healing tool?
How did this resemble an Evil God's item? It was clearly from the Life Goddess's lineage!
Smiling, Ye Linyuan explained the matter of the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife to Du Busi, though he described the purification process differently.
"Teacher, what you do not know is that the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife is, in essence, Life Gold."
"Simply put, it is a rare metal condensed from an enormous amount of life force."
"It was only because the knife's creator contaminated it with the resentful spirits of the dead that it became a vicious blade."
"The Evil God's inheritance helped me disperse the resentment on the vicious blade, restoring its original appearance."
Du Busi nodded in realization. "So that's how it is."
Ye Linyuan gave a mischievous grin. "Teacher, I have already fused with the purified Soul Devouring Engraving Knife."
"Nourished by the powerful life energy of the Life Gold, you have just seen how abundant my vitality is now."
"If I use the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well to temper my body in my current state, do you think there would still be any problem?"
Du Busi's face was full of amazement. "As long as you can endure the pain of body tempering, there naturally will not be any problem now."
What a joke. With such dense and pure life force constantly replenishing his losses—
The hidden danger of damaging his foundation naturally no longer existed.
Ye Linyuan looked northward, anticipation appearing on his face. "Teacher, we have already obtained the opportunity here."
"Let's go. It is time to head to the Star Dou Great Forest and hunt for my second soul ring."
Reminded by Ye Linyuan, Du Busi slapped his forehead. "I nearly forgot about that!"
"A six-year-old Soul Grandmaster! If Shrek, which boasts of gathering every monster under heaven, learned of this, they would drool with envy! Hahahaha!"
With the item already in hand, Du Busi could not be bothered to conceal his movements any longer.
An immense Soul Power pressure suddenly erupted from the small inn.
Two figures shot into the sky, completely ignoring Star Luo City's rule that everyone had to enter and leave through the city gates. They became a streak of green light and flew straight toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
The experts in Star Luo City were all startled by Du Busi's powerful aura and rushed out to inspect the situation.
Inside the Imperial Palace.
Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei watched the escaping light vanish beyond the horizon, his expression turning grim.
He clenched his fist and snorted angrily. "Judging by that aura, it should be a Super Douluo."
"Hmph! These people are becoming more and more disrespectful toward the Star Luo imperial family!"
Beside him, a golden-haired girl consoled him. "Experts are easy to find, but top-tier powerhouses are hard to come by."
"I heard that the White Tiger Duke's son possesses astonishing talent, even greater than the White Tiger Duke's own."
"Once he grows up, perhaps our Star Luo Empire will also have a Super Douluo truly belonging to us."
Thinking of the information sent from Shrek, Xu Jiawei nodded slightly, a hint of expectation in his eyes. "Let us hope so."
