What is the power of a sixth soul skill released by a Power Attack System Soul Emperor?

Within a three-foot radius, the metal-poured ground cracked instantly, and an ominous gray-black aura eroded through the fissures, causing the torn metal to gradually twist.

As the right claw struck down from above, the vast majority of its power was channeled into the left arm. Blood seeping from the wounds stained the silver-white fur red, and Lin Yun's limb movements distorted slightly, as if he were enduring immense pain.

"Use Imprison on me."

Lin Yun trembled slightly, "If you can seal my sixth soul skill across such a rank gap, the effect of Imprison must be incredibly powerful."

"Ralts, Imprison!" Bai Cai released Ralts, letting the Pokémon act on its own.

The blue-haired little one floated in mid-air. Seeing this, Lin Yun's face revealed shock: "Materialized spiritual power!"

The most famous example of an externalized martial soul was the Master from ten thousand years ago, Yu Xiaogang's Luo Sanpao; after evolving into the Radiant Sacred Dragon, Luo Sanpao became a super martial soul.

When Lin Yun first saw Ralts, he hadn't been overly surprised.

Although externalized martial souls were rare, throughout ten thousand years of history, there had been dozens, if not hundreds, of soul masters who awakened them.

Shrek Academy had always hoped to replicate the miracle of Luo Sanpao evolving into the Radiant Sacred Dragon, and their research records on externalized martial souls were voluminous.

However, this externalized martial soul named Ralts was actually of the Psychic type!

As everyone knew, externalized martial souls were classified as inferior mutations; besides the unpredictable nature of their soul skills, the fragility of their defense was also a primary reason.

Externalized martial souls were mutated from beast martial souls, and their attack methods were basically melee. If their defense was pierced, both the martial soul and the soul master suffered damage together.

Because externalized martial souls could not possess the body, the soul master lacked the martial soul's augmentation, resulting in low physical strength and almost no ability to protect themselves.

Agility Attack System soul masters could use their speed advantage to bypass the externalized martial soul and attack the soul master directly.

Power Attack System soul masters could weather the damage from an externalized martial soul and strike the soul master directly.

Not to mention Control System soul masters.

But Ralts was actually a Psychic-type externalized martial soul!

At only level 20 soul power, it could already use such powerful spiritual energy!

The development path of a Psychic-type martial soul was generally that of a Control System. In other words, unless one could break free from the control of spiritual power, it was difficult to attack the soul master's true body.

Coupled with the fact that the attack range of a Psychic-type martial soul was mid-to-long distance, this Psychic-type externalized martial soul perfectly circumvented the fatal weakness of being fragile.

For Power Attack, Agility Attack, or even Control System soul masters of the same rank, as long as their offensive soul skills landed, an externalized martial soul would inevitably collapse, leaving its owner either unable to resist or critically wounded and dying.

However, Ralts was a Psychic-type externalized martial soul, and its quality was undoubtedly excellent, possessing extremely strong spiritual power.

Unless one could break through Ralts's spiritual power, the soul master's true body was absolutely safe.

A mobile soul tool battery! A battlefield phantom!

Lin Yun even planned out a combat style for Bai Cai: the main body and the martial soul would maintain a certain distance, with the main body equipped with agility-type and attack-type soul tools, constantly maneuvering, observing the battlefield situation, and commanding the team. The martial soul would release wide-area spiritual control, providing precise support to friendly soul masters and denying the enemy's offensive momentum.

By building a seven-person soul master team with Bai Cai as the core, one could attempt a composition of two Power Attackers, two Agility Attackers, one healer, and one buffer, completely abandoning the defensive soul master.

As he deduced the lineup, Lin Yun felt a moment of distraction.

Using telepathy, Ralts seized the moment Lin Yun was lost in thought; a pink soul ring flashed suddenly, and invisible spiritual power, like an endless tide, locked down the Sky Wolf martial soul.

The ink-black sixth soul ring vibrated violently, gradually turning grayish-white. Ralts swayed slightly, barely able to support its own weight.

Bai Cai hugged Ralts, "You did your best, don't push yourself."

"This is..." Lin Yun suddenly realized. Ralts's timing was indeed very precise, but unfortunately, the gap between a two-ring Soul Grand Master and a six-ring Soul Emperor was too great, and the consumption of spiritual power was exorbitantly high.

However, Xiao Wu's Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul was not a spiritual attribute at all; when her Charm soul skill controlled the Immovable Wisdom King Zhao Wuji, the backlash only resulted in a faint.

Ralts was an excellent Psychic-type martial soul, its spiritual power even reaching the level of materialization; if not for the fact that its depth of spiritual power was inferior to that of a high-rank soul master, it wouldn't have even fallen into such weakness.

"To be unable to sense the sixth soul ring's skill... incredible!"

Lin Yun circulated his soul power, attempting to stimulate the sixth soul ring. However, the grayish-white sixth soul ring was like a rock carving, lacking vitality and showing no reaction at all.

"Unless you actively use spiritual power to resist, you can only wait for the sealing effect of Ralts's Imprison to naturally dissipate." Seeing the shock on Lin Yun's face, Bai Cai explained immediately.

"Good fellow," Lin Yun said, stunned. "Below the Soul King rank, unless one possesses a Psychic-type martial soul, it is basically impossible to wield spiritual power."

"In battles between low-rank soul masters, the sealing effect of Imprison is almost unsolvable!" Lin Yun waved his bloody left hand, excited, "What about Healing Wish? Try Healing Wish!"

"From the looks of it, the Imprison soul skill corresponds to spirit, and according to your description, the Healing Wish soul skill will exhaust all current soul power, corresponding to soul power." Lin Yun danced about, excited, "Such a perfect soul skill combination could definitely challenge for the top spot among the freshmen."

"Even that Twin Martial Souls..." Lin Yun suddenly realized his slip of the tongue and stiffly changed the subject, "Let's continue testing the Healing Wish soul skill."

Wang Dong?

Xiao Xiao?

Bai Cai smiled, "Ralts, Healing Wish."

The blue-haired little one waved its arms, the pink soul ring flashing continuously, and a soft white light condensed into a palm-wide white orb, which flew several steps and merged into Lin Yun's blood-drenched left arm.

Bones, muscles, skin, hair—the gentle healing power perfectly repaired all the injuries on his left arm.

Lin Yun clenched his left hand into a fist, released it, and repeated the motion. His left arm—no, his entire left hand—felt light, perfectly under his control, and the speed at which he circulated his soul power was even better than before.

Beyond the fresh wounds, it had even healed old, hidden injuries!

"Student Bai Cai," Lin Yun suppressed his excitement and said solemnly, "Have you decided on the future development direction of your martial soul?"

"Control System." Bai Cai pondered for a moment and hesitated, "Adding Control System soul skills in the early stages, and attack-type soul skills in the later stages."

"That path is only suitable for fighting alone," Lin Yun shook his head in disagreement, advising, "With your potential, you are fully capable of serving as the core hub of a soul master team."

"Appropriately choose support-type and defense-type soul skills; there is no need to obsess over offense." Lin Yun laughed at himself, "Although I don't want to admit it, the creations of soul tool technology are already enough to replace some attack-type soul skills."
