God-like Cultivation Speed

"Third Brother, Sister-in-law, are you waiting for me?"

Hearing Lin Yi's question, Tang San nodded. Beside him, Xiao Wu also locked her gaze onto him, as if she were looking at some exotic new species.

"Uh, Sister-in-law, what is this..."

Lin Yi felt incredibly uncomfortable under Xiao Wu's stare, as if he were standing naked before her.

"Ahem, Xiao Wu, mind yourself!" Tang San coughed softly.

Xiao Wu's pretty face flushed red. She stopped staring at Lin Yi and hid behind Tang San, asking, "Brother, has he really reached level 135?"

"I tested him myself last night; there's no mistake."

The two spoke in hushed tones, but Lin Yi heard them clearly. Only then did he understand why Xiao Wu had been staring at him—it was because of his Soul Power. Lin Yi laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, isn't it just reaching level 135 Soul Power? Is it really that strange?"

Lin Yi's words made even Tang San roll his eyes. Was it strange? It was incredibly strange. In the God Realm, who else could reach the level of a Soul Venerable immediately upon arrival like Lin Yi? But Xiao Wu's next words left Tang San completely stunned, and even Lin Yi wore a look of shock.

"Is it only level 135? I don't think so."

"Xiao Wu, what do you mean by that?"

"Sister-in-law, you are..."

Xiao Wu smiled slightly, walked to Lin Yi's side, and placed her hand on his shoulder. Channeling a bit of the Asura God's divine power, Lin Yi's Dragon God martial soul briefly manifested behind him, and his Soul Power surged outward.

"This is!" Tang San opened his eyes in shock, finally saying weakly, "Level 136!"

"Level 136?" Lin Yi could hardly believe what he was hearing. According to what Tang San had told him, every level gained in the God Realm was incredibly difficult. How could he have gained a level overnight? If Xiao Wu hadn't pointed it out, he wouldn't have even felt it himself.

"What is going on? Lin Yi, are you a monster among monsters?"

Tang San felt a bit helpless. After all, he had been called a monster in his time, but compared to the current Lin Yi, he could at best be called a genius. Even after arriving in the God Realm, he had never experienced gaining a level in a single day.

"I don't know what's going on either!" Lin Yi was caught between laughter and tears. Normally, an increase in Soul Power should be a good thing, but he couldn't fathom why it was rising so quickly.

"Could it be that mysterious pill?"

Lin Yi suddenly remembered the pill he had obtained from the mysterious gift pack. Could that really be the thing causing his Soul Power to rise so rapidly?

"Lin Yi, what did you say?"

"Ah? What? I didn't say anything!"

Hearing Tang San's question, Lin Yi snapped back to reality and immediately denied what he had just said. After all, he was the only one who knew about the system; even if he told Tang San, he wouldn't believe it.

"You really are a monster. Not letting you inherit the Sea God position is the only decision I've regretted in my life."

Seeing Tang San's bitter smile, Lin Yi smiled slightly. Even if Tang San hadn't brought up the matter of the Dragon God earlier, he wouldn't have wanted to take over the Sea God position. After all, the name of the Sea God was already tied to Tang San throughout the Douluo Continent, and he didn't want to steal someone else's title.

"Alright, Lin Yi, since you are already at level 136, when will you choose to cultivate your Soul Rings?"

"Cultivate Soul Rings?"

Lin Yi was stunned. His Soul Rings had all been purchased from the system shop. Besides, even in the lower realm, didn't one have to hunt soul beasts to obtain Soul Rings? What did it mean to cultivate them? He didn't understand.

"Third Brother, didn't you tell Lin Yi yesterday?"

Tang San shook his head. He had seen that Lin Yi was exhausted yesterday, and he had been so shocked by Lin Yi's Soul Power that he had forgotten to explain the cultivation of Soul Rings.

"It's like this: arriving in the God Realm is the same as the lower realm. As your level increases, you must obtain a new Soul Ring at every major threshold. However, the Divine Soul Rings of the God Realm are not the same as those in the lower realm. They do not manifest on your martial soul, but their function is similar to those obtained in the lower realm."

"You mean to say that Divine Soul Rings must be obtained through the cultivation of one's own Soul Power?"

"Exactly! The effects of a self-cultivated Soul Ring are several times better than those obtained from soul beasts, and they are perfectly attuned to your own body."

"Then what do I need to do?" Lin Yi looked at Tang San, eager to obtain his own three Divine Soul Rings.

"I cannot help you with this; I can only tell you the method. Once you return to your room, enter a state of meditation and circulate your Soul Power within your body. Since you have reached level 135, you will be able to cultivate three Divine Soul Rings that belong to you. Of course, the quality of the rings depends on your own perseverance."

"Quality?"

Tang San nodded. Divine Soul Rings were not categorized by age like those in the lower realm. Ordinary gods would cultivate their first Soul Ring upon reaching level 110 in the God Realm. Of course, the quality of this first ring would rarely be top-tier. Even among the Shrek Seven Devils, only Tang San had managed to cultivate a top-tier ring for his first Divine Soul Ring, though the others hadn't done poorly either.

"The quality of Divine Soul Rings is divided into top-tier, high-grade, mid-grade, and low-grade. Top-tier is the best, providing the strongest innate skills. The subsequent grades are increasingly inferior."

"Top-tier Divine Soul Rings, huh?"

Lin Yi smiled slightly. He was the type of person who wanted the best of everything, and the same applied to his Divine Soul Rings. Furthermore, unlike Tang San and the others, he had the system. Even in the God Realm, the system shop would likely sell Soul Rings. A mere top-tier Divine Soul Ring was just a matter of price.

"Third Brother, Sister-in-law, I'm going back to cultivate my Divine Soul Rings. You two enjoy your talk!"

Without waiting for their response, Lin Yi ran back to his room and slammed the door shut. Seeing his urgency, Tang San smiled helplessly. To be honest, he was also looking forward to seeing what grade Lin Yi's three Soul Rings would be, as no one else in the entire God Realm besides himself possessed top-tier Divine Soul Rings.

"Top-tier Divine Soul Rings, here I come!"

Lin Yi sat on his bed and entered the system interface. His mind was filled with thoughts of top-tier Divine Soul Rings. He had saved up quite a bit of money in the lower realm, so buying three top-tier Divine Soul Rings shouldn't be a problem.

"System, open the Soul Ring shop!"
