Ten Thousand Year External Spirit Bone! Emerald Swan Wings!

The White Swan Martial Soul—the thing passed down through the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.

Lin Ya had never been able to understand how the founding ancestors of the Heaven Dou Empire had carved out such a vast realm with a White Swan Martial Soul that looked so gentle and utterly lacking in combat power.

But now, none of that mattered anymore.

Because his White Swan Martial Soul had directly evolved into the Emerald Swan Martial Soul!

Without exaggeration, even if Lin Ya had descendants in the future, no matter which of his Martial Souls they inherited, they would start with innate full soul power—an absolute top-tier beginning.

"Congratulations to you, and congratulations to Green Ji as well."

Bi Ji slowly flew over to Lin Ya, her gaze falling on the dazzling red soul ring beneath his feet as a sincere smile curved her lips.

For Lin Ya's Martial Soul to undergo such a level of transformation was the best possible outcome for both him and Green Ji.

Bi Ji had secretly been worried that Lin Ya might turn on Green Ji after obtaining her hundred-thousand-year soul ring, but now she was completely relieved.

Green Ji was no longer merely his first soul ring. She had become part of his Martial Soul itself—they shared prosperity and ruin. Unless Lin Ya had a hole in his head, there was no way he would do something as stupid as harming his own Martial Soul.

Of course, Lin Ya had never planned to pull a Dio and ruthlessly abandon her in the first place. Why would he torment his own soul ring for no reason? That would be pure insanity.

With a thought from Lin Ya, the Emerald Swan Martial Soul appeared instantly!

Spirit Binding and General Summoning!

Whoosh—!

Red light surged, instantly transforming into a translucent emerald-green figure. The next second, a woman who looked eighty percent similar to Bi Ji and possessed an elegance beyond compare stood quietly before Lin Ya.

"Hello, my name is Green Ji. Please take care of me from now on." Green Ji smiled at Lin Ya. Only after truly becoming his Martial Soul did she fully understand just how terrifying this young man's talent was.

"Hello, Lin Ya." Lin Ya returned her smile with a gentle one of his own.

This was a hundred-thousand-year soul spirit! He had never dreamed that the first hundred-thousand-year soul ring of his life would go to his Swan Martial Soul first.

Bi Ji immediately stepped forward, her voice full of concern. "Green Ji, how do you feel now?"

Green Ji closed her eyes and sensed herself for a moment. When she opened them again, her eyes were filled with amazement. "I feel... very good. As long as I don't fight, I can remain outside in this form indefinitely. This soul skill is truly incredible."

Green Ji was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, while Lin Ya was only level twenty-two... no, level thirty Soul Elder. If Green Ji did not act recklessly, Lin Ya's soul skill could support her free movement for a long time.

But if Green Ji went all out... how could his meager soul power possibly support her full strength? At most, it could sustain a single all-out strike.

Still, that was enough.

The full-force attack of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast—even if an Emerald Swan did not specialize in combat—should still be enough to instantly kill a level-seventy Soul Sage.

And besides, Green Ji could do more than just Spirit Binding and General Summoning. She was the first soul ring of Lin Ya's second Martial Soul, so naturally, she possessed her own soul skills!

And there were two of them!

Green Ji pointed at Lin Ya, then at herself, and said:

"As a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, I can grant you two soul skills."

"The first is the innate skill of our Emerald Swan Martial Soul—Emerald Green Lightwave. It is an area healing-type soul skill. Paired with your Emerald Swan Martial Soul, its healing effects are practically unmatched. As long as someone still has one breath left, under your healing, she will find it difficult even to die."

At this point, a trace of pride appeared on Green Ji's face.

But it quickly faded into despondency.

Emerald Green Lightwave could heal anything, yet it could not heal the soul. Otherwise, she would not have perished beneath the heavenly tribulation.

However, she quickly shook off her sorrow. Her current situation seemed rather nice too.

"Then there is the second soul skill, Jade Light Defense. This is the defensive soul skill we Emerald Swans use to protect ourselves. Not only is its defensive power extremely high, it can also reflect part of the damage!"

Alas, the heavenly tribulation had no physical form, so she could not reflect it. Otherwise, she would not have ended up in such a state.

The more Lin Ya listened, the brighter his eyes became.

Neither of these soul skills possessed direct offensive power, but offensive methods were what he lacked least. On the contrary, the practicality of these two skills for him was simply absurdly high!

In future battles, he could directly use Spirit Binding and General Summoning to call forth a bunch of soul spirits to lead the charge, then wrap himself in the Golden Light Mantra and Jade Light Defense before shrinking into the back. One enemy came, he killed one; two came, he killed both!

Green Ji was not finished. She raised a hand and pointed behind Lin Ya, at the pair of emerald-green swan wings that had silently unfolded.

"Don't forget. I also gave you a pair of hundred-thousand-year external soul bones—the Emerald Swan Wings."

Lin Ya abruptly turned around and looked at the pair of wings behind him, shimmering with flowing light and as crystalline as carved jade. His heart gave a violent leap.

Green Ji slowly explained, "These are external soul bones born from my sacrifice. They possess growth potential, and because they fused with you through sacrifice, they have already become completely bound to you. Even if someone kills you, they will never be able to strip them away."

Lin Ya's eyes lit up instantly!

He knew far too well the value of growth-type external soul bones. Tang San's Eight Spider Lances and Huo Yuhao's Darkgold Terror Claw metacarpal bone were both of this type, but their initial age limits had been pitifully low. They had needed to slowly grow stronger later on.

Yet his Emerald Swan Wings had begun at a hundred thousand years from birth! They had crushed others by a huge margin from the very start!

"At the same time, they come with two soul skills. Including their inherent flying ability, that makes three."

Lin Ya had awakened the Emerald Swan Martial Soul himself, so he could clearly sense that the wings manifested by his Martial Soul could merge perfectly with this pair of external soul bones. After the fusion, his flight speed directly doubled!

But that was only an additional effect. The true killing moves were the two soul skills!

Green Ji raised two slender, jade-like fingers and said slowly, word by word:

"First, Emerald Protection. A group defensive skill that spreads an emerald-green light screen, shielding you and all your teammates from all attacks. It can even convert an enemy's attacks into life force and feed it back to you and your companions!"

Damn! A god-tier skill!

Lin Ya had seen Bi Ji use this skill before. Paired with Emerald Green Lightwave, she alone could heal three thousand dying spirit beasts back to full of life!

Lin Ya had never seen Nineheart Begonia, but he dared say that even if Nineheart Begonia were here, it would have to step aside before the Emerald Swan's healing ability!

"Second, Clear Jade Purification. A cleansing-type skill that releases emerald light and can remove all sorts of negative conditions from the target, such as poison, bleeding, stun, blindness, berserk status, and more."

After hearing the full introduction, Lin Ya was completely numb.

Healing, reflection, group defense, all-purpose cleansing... all four skills were top-tier support god skills!

Honestly, he even felt that, at this stage, his Outcast martial soul was not as useful as this Emerald Swan.

Of course, that was just a passing thought.

The Outcast martial soul was his foundation!

The Eight Extraordinary Skills were his true trump card!
