Breakthrough: Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster

Time passed bit by bit.

Mu Tianchen had finally completed his fusion with the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff. The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff, with four hundred years of cultivation, had become his Soul Spirit.

Yellow, yellow—two brilliantly glowing Soul Rings rose beneath his feet, pulsed, and finally settled at his feet.

"It's over—"

Mu Tianchen let out a long sigh. In order to turn the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff into his Soul Spirit, he had unleashed everything he possibly could.

The incomplete vortex in his dantian had been pushed to its absolute limit, and his body had nearly collapsed.

However, once the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff became his Soul Spirit, all the injuries on his body were completely healed. Moreover, as the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff bestowed two Soul Rings upon him, his body became even stronger.

He also felt that, under the enhancement of the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff Soul Spirit, his Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul seemed to have changed. Its body had become larger and more powerful.

His Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul seemed to have gained the attribute of Ultimate Strength.

Mu Tianchen was instantly filled with immense shock.

If that was truly the case, it would be terrifying. Ultimate Light combined with Ultimate Strength meant two ultimate attributes. Even En Ci, who also possessed the Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul, might not compare to him in terms of raw power.

"Little Tianchen, did you succeed?"

Seeing that Mu Tianchen's aura had returned to its peak, Yan Qingling's eyes filled with surprise and delight.

"Yes, I succeeded."

Mu Tianchen immediately smiled at Yan Qingling, revealing a row of neat white teeth.

That was right. With two yellow hundred-year Soul Rings, how could he not have succeeded? He was no longer an ordinary person. He was now a two-ring Soul Grandmaster with extraordinary talent.

A Soul Grandmaster at only six years old—there was absolutely no one else like him in this world!

"Little Tianchen, hurry and see what two Soul Skills the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff Soul Spirit gave you. Holy Dragon of Light plus the Ancient Beast King Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff... I can't even imagine how powerful your Soul Skills will be."

At this moment, Yan Qingling looked at Mu Tianchen with anticipation in her eyes.

In truth, as a rank sixty-nine Soul Emperor, she had long passed the stage of judging someone's strength solely by their Soul Skills.

A person's strength could not be judged by skills alone. It also depended on combat techniques, battle strategy, and one's mindset and will during combat!

Yet for some reason, she found herself inexplicably looking forward to it.

However, Mu Tianchen said somewhat awkwardly, "Sister Qingling, I'd also like to show you my two Soul Skills, but this doesn't seem like a very convenient place."

That was right. This was the Spirit Pagoda's storage area for all kinds of Soul Spirits. Although those Soul Spirits were protected by specialized Protective Barriers and would not be harmed by his attacks...

Still, no matter what, this was not a good place for testing.

"Uh... I suppose you're right." Yan Qingling came to her senses, glanced around, and realized that this truly was not a suitable testing ground.

"Follow me." At that moment, Leng Yaozhu spoke calmly from the side.

The two did not dare delay and immediately followed Leng Yaozhu out of the Soul Spirit storage area.

After making their way through several corridors, the three arrived on the eighteenth floor of the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters building, a place specifically used for testing Soul Master skills and providing Soul Masters with a place to fight.

The place was extremely spacious, as large as four football fields.

When Mu Tianchen and the others arrived, quite a few people were already testing their skills there. The dazzling variety of Soul Skills left Mu Tianchen overwhelmed.

Leng Yaozhu led the two into a room of more than two hundred square meters.

The room contained all kinds of equipment specially designed to test the power of Soul Master skills from one to four rings.

"What are the two Soul Skills you just obtained?"

Inside the room, Leng Yaozhu looked at Mu Tianchen and asked.

Mu Tianchen did not hide anything and answered directly, "Teacher, the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff gave me a first soul skill called Holy Light Dragon Fist, a powerful single-target attack skill."

"When attacking, it fires a piercing light wave from my fist. After hitting the target, it reduces the opponent's defense by thirty percent and deals damage equal to three times my own attack power."

"My second soul skill is called Dragon Scale Light Armor, a boosting skill. When activated, a layer of dragon scales covers my entire body, increasing my defense by four hundred percent for thirty seconds."

"Furthermore, my second soul skill can absorb an opponent's melee attacks and reflect twenty percent of their melee damage back as a light-attribute shockwave."

After hearing Mu Tianchen's words, Leng Yaozhu pondered briefly before saying, "As expected of Soul Skills born from the combination of the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff and the Holy Dragon of Light. Both of your Soul Skills are clearly geared toward combat."

"One is offensive, and the other is defensive. At your current level of twenty, these two powerful skills are enough to ensure that you retain a certain degree of combat ability."

"Now, let's test the power of your two Soul Skills. If you want to remain undefeated in battle, you must have a thorough understanding of your own skills."

"There is a wooden target over there for testing attack strength. Use your first soul skill on it."

Leng Yaozhu was decisive in her actions. After learning Mu Tianchen's Soul Skills, she immediately had him test their power.

For someone at her level, the skills Mu Tianchen had just acquired could only be considered ordinary, not particularly powerful.

But for those at Mu Tianchen's level, these two skills were rather powerful. Their frightening values were enough to rival Soul Rings over a thousand years old.

"Yes, Teacher."

Having received his teacher's instructions, Mu Tianchen began looking forward to it as well.

Although he already knew what his two skills were, he had no idea how powerful they could be.

He immediately steadied his breathing and focused his mind, adjusting himself to peak condition as his blazing gaze locked onto the wooden target in the distance.

"Holy Light Dragon Fist!"

Once he was ready, Mu Tianchen gave a low shout. The platinum Holy Dragon of Light roared through the air before merging into his body, completing Martial Soul Possession. Then, a yellow Soul Ring swiftly rose beneath his feet.

Boom— He threw a punch, and a platinum dragon phantom flashed past. A white piercing light wave burst from his fist like a dragon's breath.

Then, amid the dragon's roar, the piercing light wave violently slammed into the wooden target.

How could the wooden target possibly withstand such an attack? In an instant, it was blasted to pieces by the powerful piercing light wave, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

"What a powerful Holy Light Dragon Fist!"

Upon seeing this, Yan Qingling's lips parted slightly. She was also a top-tier genius. With her Bright Phoenix Martial Soul, she stood at a height many others could never reach.

But at this moment, she felt that when she had been at level twenty, she had clearly been inferior to Mu Tianchen.

Her first soul skill was also an offensive Soul Skill, called Phoenix Light Wave. In terms of attack power, her Phoenix Light Wave was only one-third as powerful as Little Tianchen's Holy Light Dragon Fist.

That was rather terrifying.

Leng Yaozhu glanced at the wooden target that had been instantly destroyed and praised, "Not bad attack power. It seems that four-hundred-year Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff Soul Spirit gave you quite a good Soul Skill. Now let's look at your second Soul Skill."

"You stand still and activate your Soul Skill. Qingling will be responsible for testing the defensive power of your second soul skill."

"Yes, Teacher!"

Mu Tianchen took a deep breath. Using his first soul skill had directly consumed one-third of his Soul Power, which was simply too costly for him at his current level.

He had yet to test his second soul skill and did not know how much it consumed.

Strong Soul Skills were certainly good, but if their consumption was too great, they would become a limitation.

"Little Tianchen, are you ready? I'm about to begin."

Yan Qingling had already taken her designated position and spoke to Mu Tianchen with a smile.

Her eyes narrowed, and her face was full of excitement. It was obvious that she could not wait to test Mu Tianchen's second soul skill.

"Alright! Sister Qingling, I'm ready."

As he spoke, Mu Tianchen gathered himself and activated his second soul skill, Dragon Scale Light Armor.

A yellow Soul Ring rapidly lit up beneath his feet. Then, platinum scales covered his entire body like armor, making him look like a little dragon-man from afar.

"Good!"

Yan Qingling was not one to waste time either. She immediately activated her Soul Skill. A purple Soul Ring swiftly rose beneath her feet, followed by the Bright Phoenix Martial Soul shining across the room.

A clear phoenix cry echoed through the entire room. Then, the enormous Bright Phoenix appeared behind Yan Qingling. Opening its beak, it unleashed an enormous Phoenix Light Wave.

This Phoenix Light Wave was at least three times thicker than Mu Tianchen's Holy Light Dragon Fist. If Mu Tianchen's Holy Light Dragon Fist was a ray, then Yan Qingling's Phoenix Light Wave was a beam of light.

Boom—

Under Mu Tianchen's gaze, the Phoenix Light Wave, larger than his entire body, instantly swallowed him.

His entire body seemed to have been utterly reduced to ashes beneath that light wave.
