Beast Soul Artifacts, Human Deities

The year following the Skysea Alliance Tournament is the All-Federation Tournament.

The All-Federation Tournament is held in Shrek City, though Shrek Academy does not participate in the tournament itself.

Otherwise, the results of the tournament every year would likely have no suspense.

The status of the number one academy on the Douluo Continent has not been shaken for ten thousand years.

However, it was indeed shaken during the Skysea Alliance Tournament.

Seven Shrek Academy students, the oldest fifteen and the youngest ten, were instantly defeated by a ten-year-old child in a one-versus-seven match.

Led by Spirit Pagoda Master Qiangu Dongfeng, those who dislike Shrek Academy made a huge fuss about this.

Various headlines were also quite bold, showing no regard for Shrek Academy's feelings at all.

For example: "Shrek students lose seven-on-one and are brutally beaten by a ten-year-old child."

Such headlines were eye-catching and drew widespread attention.

Reports of this kind sprang up like mushrooms after rain; not only were they visible everywhere, but the headlines were more ruthless than the last.

"Challenged seven-on-one by a ten-year-old, is this all Shrek is?"

"The continent's number one academy is unworthy of the name."

"On the true value of the continent's number one academy."

The sensation caused by this battle was so great that it would be no exaggeration to say it caused an "earthquake" across the entire Federation.

Therefore, Shrek Academy decided to participate in the All-Federation Tournament.

They clearly intended to restore their reputation in the All-Federation Tournament.

It is just a pity that Mu Han did not participate.

According to the rules of the Skysea Alliance Tournament, one must place in the top six to represent the alliance in the All-Federation Tournament.

Mu Han only played in an exhibition match and did not truly participate in the Skysea Alliance Tournament at all.

Although it would not have been impossible if he had insisted on participating.

But Mu Han really had no interest in the so-called All-Federation Tournament.

Since returning from the War God Temple, he had been working on a major project.

After nearly a year of effort, this project could be considered preliminarily completed.

For the people of the Douluo Continent, there are two insurmountable chasms.

The first is the awakening day at age six; whether one has Innate Soul Power determines if one has the chance to become a soul master.

Excluding those from soul master families or the descendants of soul masters.

For offspring born to ordinary people, the chance of appearing with Innate Soul Power is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

In some superstitious, remote areas, it is even rumored that it takes ten lifetimes of merit to earn one level of Innate Soul Power.

But if one truly had ten lifetimes of merit, why would they be reincarnated into a commoner's home?

The second is the age of twenty.

The achievements of a soul master's cultivation before the age of twenty determine their future potential.

Only a three-ring Soul Elder can be considered an intermediate soul master, and level thirty is exactly such a threshold.

If one crosses this threshold before the age of twenty, their future is limitless.

If one cannot cross it by twenty, then they are basically unable to cross it forever.

Even those rare cases who successfully promoted mostly did so by consuming some heaven-defying treasures.

And Mu Han wanted to break this threshold.

He gathered a large number of Soul Grand Masters who were stuck at the level twenty-nine bottleneck and unable to promote.

These Soul Grand Masters ranged from twenty-one years old to those on the verge of death.

But they were all, without exception, Beast Soul masters.

And Mu Han's method was actually very simple: his trinity soul skill fusion technique, "World"!

By using the "World" created through the overlapping of soul skills, he forcibly altered the laws of heaven and earth.

Combined with a piece of Spirit Alloy, he fused the Soul Grand Master's martial soul with their soul spirit.

Soul masters who can cultivate to level twenty-nine generally have decent compatibility between their soul spirit and martial soul.

Many of them possessed century-level soul spirits, providing two century-level soul rings.

There were also some whose first soul ring was a ten-year soul ring provided by a ten-year soul spirit, and only their second soul ring came from a century-level soul spirit.

The worst cases were those with two ten-year soul spirits.

But the compatibility was quite good; at the very least, no conflict would arise during the fusion process.

And the result of the fusion was that the level thirty bottleneck was broken.

Initially, when the major powers first learned of this news, they were dismissive.

With the advancement of Soul Tool technology, even ordinary people can now use Soul Tools.

In fact, many civilian Soul Tools no longer require soul power to function.

The status of Soul Masters remains lofty, but the distance between them and ordinary people has long since narrowed due to technology.

Just as ordinary people can now pilot a Soul Mecha.

A three-ring Soul Elder is called an intermediate Soul Master, but in reality, they are only slightly stronger.

Mu Han shattered the common knowledge that had persisted in the Soul Master world for tens of thousands of years, causing a massive sensation.

It is just a pity that he was born at the wrong time.

If this technology had been placed in the era of Martial Soul Hall twenty thousand years ago.

Or even in the Era of the Four Kingdoms ten thousand years ago, it could have changed the landscape of the Soul Master world.

But in this current age, the gap between a three-ring Soul Elder and a two-ring Soul Grand Master is actually not that large.

The gap between the two sides depends more on Soul Tools and mechas.

Even if one could obtain thousands of three-ring Soul Elders because of this, what would be the use?

The cost of this secret technique must be very high! The cost-effectiveness is pitifully low.

But when the high-level figures of those major powers saw the finished product, their jaws dropped one by one.

A uniform set of purple thousand-year soul rings!

The soul ring configuration of these three-ring Soul Elders was actually three thousand-year soul rings?

The last person to possess three thousand-year soul rings was Mu Han, who fought seven people alone and crushed Shrek.

It is not that having three thousand-year soul rings makes one invincible at the same level.

Moreover, the configuration of a thousand-year first soul spirit seems rare, but it is not unique.

What truly shocked these people was the Martial Soul of these three-ring Soul Elders!

Originally, these people all possessed beast Martial Souls! Yet now, they had all become uniform tool Martial Souls?

One of them, who possessed a Wind Tiger Martial Soul, now had a Martial Soul that had transformed into a Long-handled Bone Blade.

Another, who possessed a Great Strength Water Buffalo Martial Soul, now had a Martial Soul that had turned into a Great Hammer.

Although beast Martial Souls have an advantage over tool Martial Souls in the early stages of cultivation.

But this was, after all, a secondary awakening of the Martial Soul!

And every single beast Martial Soul had successfully mutated into a tool Martial Soul.

This meant that this mutation was controllable!

Furthermore, the strength was clearly greater than the original beast Martial Soul; this was a benign secondary awakening of the Martial Soul!

Under certain specific circumstances, a Martial Soul has the possibility of a secondary awakening.

Mutations can be good or bad, but the effects are always very obvious.

If a Martial Soul can undergo a secondary awakening, the improvement in strength will be immense.

However, in history, only families with particularly deep foundations, or those with ancient inherited Martial Souls, had a higher chance of a secondary awakening.

It is said that the Body Sect has a way to stimulate the secondary awakening of a Martial Soul, and it is inevitably a beneficial secondary awakening.

But such a secret technique must have significant side effects, or the conditions for its use are harsh.

Not everyone can use this method to stimulate themselves.

Otherwise, the Body Sect would have long since ruled the Soul Master world.

But now, this research by Mu Han has clearly surpassed the heritage of the Body Sect.

And Mu Han has thus become famous throughout the Soul Master world, standing alongside the Thousand-Hand Asura Tang San, who led the two great empires to resist Martial Soul Hall twenty thousand years ago, and the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, who founded the Spirit Pagoda ten thousand years ago, becoming the only "deity" in the Soul Master world who did not ascend.
