Ordinary Pill

"Open the Mysterious Gift Pack!"

"Ding! The system has opened the Mysterious Gift Pack for the host. Contents: one Ordinary Pill (appears ordinary, yet conceals mysteries within)."

Seeing the prompt provided by the system, Lin Yi was completely dumbfounded. He had gone through so much hardship to obtain this Mysterious Gift Pack, only for it to contain such a piece-of-trash pill?

"Damn it! Are you messing with me?"

Fortunately, the soundproofing of the Sea God Hall was quite good; otherwise, this roar from Lin Yi would definitely have drawn Tang San and Xiao Wu over.

Lin Yi looked at the pill in his hand, itching to throw it away, but just as he was about to act, he suddenly stopped.

Although the system isn't very reliable right now, every reward hasn't been as much of a scam as it looks on the surface. Could it be that this trashy pill really has some hidden mystery?

Lin Yi hesitated for a long time. He didn't know if his conjecture was correct. Looking at the pill in his hand, which couldn't be more ordinary, Lin Yi gritted his teeth, popped it into his mouth, and used his Soul Power to refine it.

"That's it?"

After refining the pill, Lin Yi waited for feedback, but after a long while, neither his body nor his Soul Power showed the slightest change.

"Damn! This piece of trash isn't even as good as a meal from Oscar!" Lin Yi cursed angrily.

Just then, his door was knocked. Lin Yi calmed himself down and went to open it.

"Brother San? Why are you here?"

"Haha, I came to check on you. I was worried you wouldn't be accustomed to the God Realm yet. How is it? Are you staying comfortably in my Sea God Hall?"

Lin Yi smiled slightly. He had just arrived in the God Realm and had nowhere to stay; it was already generous enough that Tang San let him live in the Sea God Hall. How could he be dissatisfied?

"It's very comfortable. By the way, Brother San, could you tell me about the classification of Soul Power levels in the God Realm?"

"I'd be happy to." Tang San nodded, walked into Lin Yi's room, and sat down.

"In the God Realm, Soul Power levels are actually the same as in the lower realm. Levels 1-19 are called: Soul Apprentice; 10-19 are called: Soul Master; 20-29 are called: Grand Soul Master; 30-39 are called: Soul Elder; 40-49 are called: Soul Ancestor; 50-59 are called: Soul King; 60-69 are called: Soul Emperor; 70-79 are called: Soul Saint; 80-89 are called: Soul Douluo; 90-99 are called: Titled Douluo. Titled Douluo can be further divided into ordinary Titled Douluo at levels 91-94, Super Douluo at 95-98, and Limit Douluo at 99. Of course, one must add the word 'God' before these titles."

Lin Yi nodded. It seemed the Soul Power classification in the God Realm was no different from the lower realm. However, what puzzled Lin Yi was what kind of existence one would be if they broke through level 100 in the God Realm. In the lower realm, breaking through level 100 meant becoming a god, but what about in the God Realm?

"What? Do you still have doubts?"

"Brother San, if one breaks through level 100 in the God Realm, what kind of existence would that be?"

"This..."

Tang San didn't know how to answer this question either. When he first entered the God Realm, he had also wanted to know, but hundreds of years had passed, and he hadn't encountered a god above level 60 in the entire God Realm. Even the former Asura God was only at the Divine Soul Master level.

"I cannot explain this question to you. In the current God Realm, the highest level is Oscar, a level 60 Divine Soul Emperor. Above him, nothing has appeared within my knowledge."

"Oscar is the highest-level god in the entire God Realm?"

Tang San did not deny it; this was a fact, after all. Even he hadn't surpassed Oscar, but he was never in a hurry. After all, there weren't as many troubles in the God Realm as there were in the lower realm.

"Do you have any other questions?"

"Yes! I want to know what my Soul Power is now!"

"That's not difficult. Let me take a look for you!"

After saying this, Tang San summoned his Clear Sky Hammer. To Lin Yi's surprise, Tang San's Soul Ring configuration was actually the same as his own.

"Place your hand on the Clear Sky Hammer!"

Lin Yi nodded and, without a word, followed Tang San's instructions, placing his right hand on the black Clear Sky Hammer.

After a moment, Tang San's face was filled with astonishment. He checked Lin Yi's Soul Power over and over again, but eventually, he gave up.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Tang San's helpless expression, Lin Yi thought there was something wrong with his Soul Power.

Tang San took a breath and said helplessly, "How are you even more of a freak than me, kid?"

"Huh?"

Lin Yi didn't react in time, not knowing what Tang San meant. He saw the latter chuckle and withdraw the Clear Sky Hammer into his body.

"When I first stepped into the God Realm, my first Soul Power test was only at the level of a God Grand Soul Master. That alone shocked the entire God Realm, but you are even more terrifying than me."

"Even more terrifying than you?"

Tang San nodded and said slowly, "Your current Soul Power is at level 135, already reaching the strength of a Divine Soul Venerable."

"Only a Divine Soul Venerable?"

Lin Yi felt a bit disappointed. It seemed the pill from the Mysterious Gift Pack had no effect at all. However, he didn't know that without this seemingly ordinary pill, he could never have reached level 135.

"What? You look very disappointed!"

"Yeah! Only level 135, much lower than I expected."

Hearing his words, Tang San wanted to slap him. How many people were only at the level of a God Soul Apprentice when they first entered the God Realm? They didn't know how many hundreds of years of cultivation it took to reach Lin Yi's current realm.

"Lin Yi, cultivation in the God Realm is not as simple as you think. A gap of 35 levels might only take a few years in the lower realm, but in the God Realm, some people might need hundreds of years. You have reached this level just after entering the God Realm; if you aren't called a genius, you'll be called a freak."

"Fine, then."

Lin Yi responded half-heartedly. After all, Tang San didn't know about the system. If he knew of the system's existence, Tang San would certainly understand why Lin Yi was so disappointed.

"Rest early. You've just entered the God Realm, and there are many things you need to explore yourself. If you encounter a bottleneck, you can ask me at any time, and I will help you. However, remember, do not rush your Soul Power cultivation. Even in the God Realm, it is very possible to suffer a cultivation deviation."

"I know. Thank you for the reminder, Brother San."

Tang San gave an "en" and left Lin Yi's room. On the way back, he kept sighing. Originally, Lin Yi could have become the new Sea God, but now...

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time!"

Lin Yi lay on the bed and fell asleep again without realizing it. However, during the time he was sleeping, the Soul Power in his body surged, though he was unaware of it.

Early the next morning, when Lin Yi opened his eyes, he didn't feel anything wrong with himself. He walked out of the room to the main hall and saw Tang San and Xiao Wu waiting for him.
