God-like Cultivation Speed

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

Hearing Lin Yi's question, Tang San nodded. Xiao Wu beside him also fixed her gaze on him, as if she were looking at some strange new species.

"Uh, Sister-in-law, what are you—"

Xiao Wu's stare made Lin Yi deeply uncomfortable, as if he were standing naked in front of her.

"Ahem, Xiao Wu, watch it," Tang San coughed softly.

Xiao Wu's pretty face reddened. She stopped staring at Lin Yi and hid behind Tang San. "Brother, did he really reach level 135?"

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

The two spoke in low voices, but Lin Yi heard every word. Only then did he understand why Xiao Wu had been staring at him: it was because of his Soul Power. Lin Yi laughed. "Sister-in-law, I only reached level 135 in Soul Power. Is that really so strange?"

Tang San rolled his eyes at Lin Yi's words. What was strange about it? It was incredibly strange! Who in the Divine Realm could be like Lin Yi and reach the Soul Elder rank as soon as he entered the Divine Realm? But what Xiao Wu said next left Tang San completely stunned. Even Lin Yi wore a look of utter shock.

"Only level 135? I don't think that's the case."

"Xiao Wu, what do you mean?"

"Sister-in-law, you—"

Xiao Wu smiled faintly and walked over to Lin Yi, placing a hand on his shoulder. She used a little of Asura God's divine power, and the Dragon God Martial Soul briefly appeared behind Lin Yi as his Soul Power surged out.

"This is..." Tang San's eyes widened in shock. At last, he said weakly, "Level 136!"

"Level 136?" Lin Yi could hardly believe what he'd heard. According to Tang San, every increase in level in the Divine Realm was incredibly difficult. How had he gained a level overnight? If Xiao Wu hadn't said it, even he wouldn't have noticed.

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

Tang San was a little helpless. He himself had once been called a monster, but compared with Lin Yi now, he could at most be called a genius. Even after arriving in the Divine Realm, he had never gained a level in a single day.

"I don't know what's going on either!" Lin Yi could only laugh helplessly. An increase in Soul Power should have been a good thing, but he couldn't make sense of how it had risen so quickly.

"Could it be that damn pill?"

Lin Yi suddenly thought of the pill he'd gotten from the Mysterious Gift Pack. Could that thing really be what had made his Soul Power rise so quickly?

"Lin Yi, what did you say?"

"Huh? What is it? I didn't say anything!"

Hearing Tang San's question, Lin Yi came back to his senses and immediately denied saying anything. After all, he was the only one who knew about the system. Even if he told Tang San, Tang San wouldn't believe him.

"You really are a monster. Not letting you inherit the Sea God's position was the only mistake I've made in my life."

Seeing Tang San's bitter smile, Lin Yi smiled faintly. Even if Tang San hadn't told him about the Dragon God back then, he wouldn't have wanted to take over the Sea God's position. The name Sea God was already bound to Tang San throughout the entire Douluo Continent. He wasn't willing to steal someone else's title.

"All right, Lin Yi. Now that you've reached level 136, when are you going to cultivate a Soul Ring?"

"Cultivate a Soul Ring?"

Lin Yi was taken aback. He'd bought all his Soul Rings from the system's shop. And besides, hadn't people in the lower realm needed to hunt Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings? What did it mean to cultivate one? He didn't understand.

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

Tang San shook his head. Lin Yi had seemed tired the day before, and Tang San had been so shocked by his Soul Power that he'd forgotten to explain how to cultivate Soul Rings.

"It's like this: the Divine Realm is just like the lower realm. As your level rises, you need to obtain a new Soul Ring each time you reach a new realm. But the Soul Rings in the Divine Realm are different from those in the lower realm. They don't appear on your Martial Soul, but their effects are much the same as those of Soul Rings obtained in the lower realm."

"You mean I have to use my own Soul Power to cultivate Divine Soul Rings?"

"That's right! Soul Rings cultivated by yourself are several times better than those obtained from Soul Beasts, and they're the most compatible with you, too."

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

"I can't help you with that. I can only tell you how to cultivate them. Once you return to your room, enter a meditative state and circulate Soul Power through your body. Since you've already reached level 135, you can cultivate three Divine Soul Rings of your own. As for their quality, that depends on your own perseverance."

"Quality?"

Tang San nodded. Divine Soul Rings weren't like those in the lower realm, where they were ranked by age. After ordinary gods entered the Divine Realm and cultivated to level 110, they would cultivate their first Soul Ring. Of course, that first Soul Ring would never be Top-Grade. Even among the Shrek Seven Devils, only Tang San had cultivated a Top-Grade Soul Ring for his first Divine Soul Ring. The others' rings weren't bad either.

"The quality of Divine Soul Rings is divided into Top-Grade, high-grade, mid-grade, and low-grade. Top-Grade is the best, and the talent skill it gives you is the strongest. The others grow progressively worse, in the order I just listed."

"Top-Grade Divine Soul Rings?"

Lin Yi smiled faintly. Whatever he did, he wanted the best, and Divine Soul Rings were no exception. Unlike Tang San and the others, he had a system. Even after reaching the Divine Realm, the system shop would probably still sell Soul Rings. Top-Grade Divine Soul Rings were a mere matter of price.

"Third Brother, Sister-in-law, I'll head back and cultivate my Divine Soul Rings. You two take your time chatting!"

After saying that, Lin Yi didn't wait for Tang San and Xiao Wu to respond. He hurried back to his room and shut the door tightly. Seeing how eager he was, Tang San could only smile helplessly. To be honest, though, he was also looking forward to seeing what quality Lin Yi's three Soul Rings would be. After all, apart from Tang San himself, no one else in the entire Divine Realm had ever possessed a Top-Grade Divine Soul Ring.

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

Lin Yi sat on the bed and entered the system. He couldn't stop thinking about Top-Grade Divine Soul Rings. He'd saved quite a bit of money in the lower realm, so buying three Top-Grade Divine Soul Rings should be no problem.

"System, open the Soul Ring Shop!"
