Soul Beast Aura
The celebration banquet for the Divine Craftsman Tie Futu's advancement to Soul Douluo went very smoothly. The entire event was filled with laughter and joy, and all the attendees chatted happily and amicably.
Perhaps the Weiyi minor ripple was that, on such an important occasion, Earl Arthur Candir, the nominal ruler of Gengxin City and in fact the very important city lord, was absent from the banquet!
Fortunately, the eldest son of the City Lord’s Mansion, Kuku Kandir, stepped forward at this moment.
As a disciple of Lou Gao, the current president of the Blacksmith Association, and a grand-disciple of the Divine Craftsman Tie Futu, he came to offer his congratulations on behalf of his father, Arthur Candir, and the Kandil Clan. The Blacksmith Association recognized and welcomed him.
It was from this banquet that the various families in Gengxin City suddenly realized that, apart from the famous genius Ron Candir, known as the "Little Lion King," the eldest son of the Kandil Clan, Kuku Candir, also seemed to be a promising young talent with remarkable abilities.
Thus, with the backing of his master Lou Gao, his grandmaster Tie Futu, and the ever-growing Blacksmith Association, Kuku Candir, while his father Arthur Candir was in seclusion, and with the assistance of Edgar, the head of the City Lord’s Mansion, began to gradually take control of the Kandil Clan and gain access to the City Lord’s Mansion's businesses, power, and connections...
Of course, all of this takes time.
Many people are also watching coldly, waiting for Lord Arthur Candir to emerge from seclusion, or for the return of the second son Ron Candir.

Tie Futu cooperated fully, allowing Ling Yi to probe his body with his Soul Power and sense the changes in his body after becoming Soul Douluo.
In order not to interfere with Ling Yi's investigation, he even deliberately restrained his Soul Power so as not to affect the Soul Power that Ling Yi was inputting into his meridians.
This scene has been happening almost every one or two days since Tie Futu absorbed his Eighth Soul Ring and successfully broke through to the Soul Douluo level.
And each time, no matter what Lou Gao was busy with, he would immediately put down everything he was doing and come to his side, quietly listening to the questions Ling Yi occasionally asked Tie Futu, as well as Tie Futu's feelings and answers to these questions.
Allowing foreign soul power to circulate in one's body is tantamount to handing over one's life to the other party. To be honest, when they were still in the 'Golden Sand Desert', Qi was both incredulous and envious of the Iron Pagoda's trust in Ling Yi.
That's Soul Douluo!
By doing this, Tie Futu was not only sharing his insights after breaking through to the Soul Douluo, but he was practically giving Ling Yi a preview of what the Soul Douluo realm was like.
Such empathy is an opportunity that all Soul Saint can only dream of!
If given a choice, Yao Qi would even prefer to return the 100,000 Gold Soul Coin that hired him, as well as the divine weapon "Qian Jun Staff," in exchange for this experience. Even if he had to pay out another 100,000 Gold Soul Coin, Yao Qi would still find it perfectly acceptable.
Unfortunately, apart from Ling Yi, even Lou Gao doesn't currently receive such treatment.
This doesn't mean that Lou Gao was less trusted by Tie Futu than Ling Yi. Rather, before Lou Gao broke through to the Soul Saint, Tie Futu didn't want to force him to grow too fast and prevent Lou Gao from becoming too ambitious and delaying his current cultivation at the Soul Emperor level.
Not everyone can be like Ling Yi, who is born with strong mental strength and a tenacious mind that far surpasses that of ordinary people, and whose intelligence alone is unmatched by many in the world.
Letting Ling Yi gain enlightenment ahead of time is called broadening his horizons; letting Soul Saint experience it is to point out the path forward; letting others get started is wishful thinking!
Do you really think Soul Douluo is as common as cabbage, something anyone can shamelessly approach?
"... Uncle-Master, I've noticed that your Soul Power seems to have incorporated more spiritual power, or rather... will, compared to your previous Soul Saint level."
Ling Yi withdrew his hand from Tie Futu's wrist, opened his eyes, and asked.
"Hmm..." Tie Futu pondered for a moment before answering, "Indeed, since becoming Soul Saint, my spiritual power seems to have undergone a change, gradually merging with my Martial Soul and Soul Power..."
Whether it was his memories from his past life, his studies at the primary Soul Master Academy in this life, or his later consultations with Soul Master who had studied at intermediate and advanced Soul Master Academy, Ling Yi learned that in the Martial Soul system, the seventh Soul Skill of Beast Martial Soul Master after reaching level 70 is the Martial Soul Avatar; while that of Tool Martial Soul Master is called the Tool Soul Avatar.
Just as level 30 is a bottleneck for Soul Master, so too is level 70. Soul Master who possess Martial Soul Avatar and Tool Soul Avatar will experience a significant increase in strength, and this skill will also be their most desperate weapon.
Once used, the Martial Soul Avatar and Tool Soul Avatar allow unlimited use of all Soul Skill below the seventh ring for thirty minutes. The power is increased to 150% of the original Soul Skill, and depending on the type and quality of each Soul Master's Martial Soul, it will also add terrifying amplification of attributes such as attack, defense, or elemental damage by 100% to 200% or 300%!
Of course, such a significant increase in growth rate does come at a cost.
On the Douluo Continent, almost every Soul Saint experiences a 50% reduction in their attributes after using their Martial Soul Avatar or Tool Soul Avatar, requiring seven days to recover. Therefore, Soul Master Soul Master above level 70 will never easily use their Martial Soul Avatar or Tool Soul Avatar unless absolutely necessary.
Basically, this "true form" state, or "bursting into power," is similar to other secret techniques in the myriad worldviews of the universe, such as the "Heavenly Demon Body Disintegration Great Technique" and the "Blood Explosion Technique." Of course, there are also techniques that transfer the cost, such as the "Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Change," or the even more perverse "Heaven-Defying Seven Demon Blades"...
"... And after I broke through to the Soul Douluo, I discovered that with the further fusion of my spiritual power, Soul Power, and the Martial Soul ' Blazing Fire Ant,' the negative effects of using the Martial Soul Avatar had been greatly reduced."
Tie Futu reviewed the experiments of the past few days. After all, the burden on the body and mental strength of using the same Martial Soul Avatar for one minute is naturally incomparable to that for thirty minutes.
Thus, the Tie Futu gained a general understanding of its own state after the breakthrough, both inside and out.
"It seems the key to breaking through to Soul Saint and Soul Douluo lies in mental power!"
"The difference is that Soul Saint, through their Seventh Soul Ring, spontaneously guides the Soul Master's spiritual power to transform. However, to advance further and break through to Soul Douluo, the Soul Master's spirit and will must be fused and guided..."
Ling Yi glanced at Lou Gao, who seemed lost in thought, and said, "Senior brother, your mental strength... never mind..."
Shaking his head, Ling Yi stopped talking and resumed his discussion with Tie Futu.
Lou Gao: "..."
No, what do you mean by "never mind"?
A question mark slowly appeared on Lou Gao's face.
Ignoring Lou Gao's petty grievances, Tie Futu opened his mouth, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, after finishing his conversation with Ling Yi.
Ling Yi was curious about this and, without standing on ceremony, asked directly, "Uncle-Master, is there something you want to say?"
"..." Tie Futu's gaze lingered on Ling Yi for a moment, then glanced at Lou Gao, whose attention had turned to him, before hesitantly asking Ling Yi:
"Ah Yi, a few days ago in the ' Golden Sand Desert,' I wanted to ask you... how come you had the aura of Soul Beast on you?"
When he asked this question, Tie Futu spoke very softly, and there was a sense of caution in his voice, as if he was afraid that Ling Yi misunderstand something.
