Four Years Old, Mental Strength 128 Points!

"Tch. How long was I asleep?"

Lin Yuan slowly woke up, but he did not get up right away, afraid that the near-death sensation from last night would strike again. Only after closing his eyes and recovering for about three minutes did he slowly sit up.

The moment he sat up, he sensed something different!

The muddled feeling in his mind from last night had completely vanished. In its place was an unprecedented freshness and clarity. That feeling was honestly even better than taking a cold shower after baking under the sun for an entire day!

He looked at the glass of water and suddenly discovered that inside the previously ordinary boiled water, tiny pale-blue balls of energy were dancing. As if sensing his gaze, they bounced even more fiercely, seemingly in delight.

Lin Yuan's mouth slowly fell open.

Could this be the water element?

He had not even awakened his martial soul yet, but he could sense elemental fluctuations that only elemental martial souls could faintly perceive?!

Could it be...

Lin Yuan's heart stirred, and he immediately ran to the cultivation room, picked up the spiritual power tester, and put it on his head.

In an instant, Lin Yuan immediately felt a warm, soothing sensation that made his sea of spirit become active at once, surging like roaring waves as it washed through his sea of spirit.

At that moment, the numbers on the spiritual power tester were constantly climbing!

18...

32...

50...

80...

99...

At 99, the spiritual power tester suddenly stopped. Then, light burst forth, and it jumped all the way to 128 before barely coming to a halt.

"128 points of spiritual power?"

Lin Yuan was stunned. From 1 point of spiritual power to 50 points was known as the Spirit Origin Realm—the beginning of one origin, all things renewed!

And 50 points to 500 points was known as the Spirit Connection Realm—mind and spirit connected, thoughts reaching as soon as intent arrived, enough to carry a purple soul spirit!

It was not as if he had never tested it before. Back then, it had only been 12 points. And now? 128 points!

How terrifying was this number?

In the original work, this was already the spiritual power a normal late-stage three-ring soul master would have. Little Dragon God Lan Xuanyu's 99 points at seven years old had already been praised as stunningly brilliant. Then what did his 128 points at four years old count as?

A God King reborn?

No, Little Dragon God was already a Supreme God King reborn!

It could even be said that with his 128 points of spiritual power at the age of four, if even Shrek Academy, known as the Federation's number one academy, found out, he would absolutely be internally selected!

There was no other reason. It was simply too exaggerated. One had to know that the importance of spiritual power was in no way inferior to soul power. In fact, when it came to cultivation difficulty, spiritual power far surpassed soul power.

Moreover, once spiritual power was strong, the benefits it brought were obvious. Not only could one learn things faster, most importantly, one's use of soul skills could reach an even higher level.

Take the water element as an example. A soul master with low spiritual power could at most use forty percent of its potential, at most summoning a wave of water. But a soul master with high spiritual power could use it to its full extent, directly summoning a waterspout. If they wanted to refine it further, even using it beyond their level was not impossible!

Why was Gu Yue, the female lead in Legend of the Dragon King, so powerful in her control over the elements?

The vast majority of the reason was that her spiritual power was too strong.

"The rise in my spiritual power should have been brought by Voice of the Stars. In that case, the solid metallic body I saw last night should be Tianluo Planet's core, and that frequency... was the voice of the stars?"

"If that's the case, then at night, I can look up at the starry sky and continue using Voice of the Stars to listen to the voices of the stars."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan could not help but nod in relief. At long last, beyond being a salted fish, he had found a direction in which he could work hard and move forward.

To be honest, when he first transmigrated, Lin Yuan had also had grand ambitions. But a year ago, when he secretly tested his spiritual power, the single-digit result had beaten him straight into silence.

Who would have thought that now, his luck had finally turned!

"I'm looking forward more and more to what kind of martial soul I'll awaken when I'm six." Thinking of this, Lin Yuan could not help but reveal a smile.

When he went out today, Lin Yuan once again arrived early at the place they had agreed on yesterday. He rested his head on his arms, half-squinting up at the sky. As he waited, he activated Voice of the Stars, sensing the frequency of the planet's core.

The originally heart-palpitating vibration frequency of the planet's core sounded so pleasant to Lin Yuan now, like immortal music.

Very soon, a strange "Huh?" suddenly came from beside Lin Yuan's ear.

"Huh? Big Brother Lin Yuan, how did you get better-looking after just one day?"

"What kind of nonsense is that? I've always been good-looking."

Lin Yuan spoke flatly, not surprised by Lan Xuanyu's arrival.

"No, no, look, Big Brother." Lan Xuanyu took out a mirror and handed it to Lin Yuan.

"You're a boy, and you carry a mirror around with you?"

Lin Yuan gave Lan Xuanyu a strange look. The latter did not seem to realize there was anything wrong with a boy carrying a mirror and merely blinked.

"Mom told me to bring it."

Lin Yuan: ...

Lin Yuan took the mirror, saw himself reflected in it, and frowned.

Why was he so handsome?!

The facial lines that had still held a few flaws before were now incomparably soft, the bridge of his nose had reached an absolutely perfect curve, and his skin was crystal clear, like precious jade—something to be admired from afar, not profaned by touch.

And what made it hardest to look away were those star-like eyes. They truly were like stars; even though he was not deliberately doing anything with his gaze, there seemed to be some special gravity that firmly locked a person's attention in place.

If yesterday's Lin Yuan had been a handsome boy on par with Lan Xuanyu, then today's Lin Yuan was an enchanting monster who could bewitch hearts.

"Sigh."

Lin Yuan let out a deep sigh and handed the mirror back to Lan Xuanyu.

"Brother, why are you sighing?" Lan Xuanyu blinked curiously.

"I'm worried. I'm so good-looking—what if some bad people with evil intentions covet me and kidnap me?"

Lin Yuan touched his own face, looking sorrowful.

Lan Xuanyu: ...

"Uh, that probably won't happen... no, wait, it might."

Lan Xuanyu rubbed his chin, his gaze gradually turning serious. Then, all of a sudden, he cried out in pain as a sting came from his forehead. Looking up, he saw that Lin Yuan had stretched out a finger and lightly flicked him.

"All right, I was joking. Where did I get to in the story yesterday?"

"Oh, it was Brother Xiao Yan entering Jia Nan Academy."

"Oh, that part. Fine, listen carefully."

Lin Yuan lay back down, eyes half-narrowed, and continued telling the story.

Heh, he had to admit, having higher spiritual power really was great. There had originally been certain details of Battle Through the Heavens that he had forgotten, but now? He remembered them all.

By evening, after sending Lan Xuanyu home and once again freeloading a meal, Lin Yuan went to the rooftop of the family residential building. He found an open space, folded his arms behind his head, lay down comfortably, relaxed his mind, and looked up at the starry sky.

Tianluo Planet's environmental protection was excellent, allowing the stars to be seen clearly.

Lin Yuan recalled the feeling from last night and took the initiative to empty his spiritual power—empty it, and empty it again—until his soul reached his sea of spirit, completed its sublimation, and then suddenly plummeted downward. Once more, he arrived at the planet's core and saw the solid metallic sphere.

The moment Lin Yuan arrived, the sphere spun faster and faster, as though it were truly expressing its joy, as if saying that after hundreds of millions of years, someone could finally hear its voice.

And this time, Lin Yuan no longer felt a splitting headache or a hazy consciousness. Instead, his heart quickly settled into calm.

Lin Yuan sat quietly to the side and listened. The star core's originally chaotic frequency, one powerful enough to shatter metal, sounded to Lin Yuan like the most beautiful music in the world. He could feel his spiritual power growing.

"Maybe, once I have soul power in the future, I can memorize this frequency and play it. I wonder what kind of effect it would have?"

"This feeling really is wonderful." In the real world, the corners of Lin Yuan's mouth lifted slightly. He narrowed his eyes and took a comfortable little nap.

Time flew by, and very soon, two years had passed.

Over these two years, the friendship between Lan Xuanyu and Lin Yuan grew deeper and deeper. Every day or two, Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng would invite Lin Yuan over to eat at their home, and whenever that happened, it was Lan Xuanyu's happiest time, with the whole family enjoying themselves together.

Lin Yuan also became known by more and more people. There were even some bold women who, relying on their age, took the initiative to hug Lin Yuan and refused to let go. Their movements were so exaggerated that Lan Xuanyu was frightened several times and began wailing, only then making them reluctantly put Lin Yuan down.

Sometimes, when it was truly very late, Lan Xuanyu would keep Lin Yuan over for the night. Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng also believed without question the reason Lan Xuanyu gave: this child was too adorable—what if someone kidnapped him?

It was said that Sin Planet had people who specialized in exactly that sort of business!

Just like that, it soon came to Lin Yuan's sixth birthday, which was also the day he would awaken his martial soul.

"Our human martial souls can be anything. Mm, I think Little Lin should already know this: if you awaken your martial soul and also possess innate soul power, then you can honorably become a Soul Master."

"Oh, I know. Thank you, Uncle Lan."

Lin Yuan was brought by Lan Xiao to the Ancient Soul Beast Research Institute in Ziluo City to awaken his martial soul. This was already the nearest martial soul awakening center in the area.

And today, Lin Yuan had tested his spiritual power. It had already reached 320 points.
