Lin Tian looked toward the first multicolored screen.

[Prismatic Metamorphosis--Chaos.] [Your martial soul will be upgraded, randomly evolving into two god-tier martial souls.]

His Azure Lotus martial soul could neither fight nor assist, much less absorb soul rings.

At its core, the problem lay with his martial soul.

Now, Metamorphosis could evolve the Azure Lotus and even grant him two god-tier martial souls at once.

There was simply no reason to give up on it.

"The first one will be Prismatic Metamorphosis."

Lin Tian raised his hand and tapped the screen.

Multicolored light flashed, and the first choice was confirmed.

His gaze fell upon the second option.

[Gold Coin Rain.] [For every level of soul power gained, receive ten thousand gold soul coins.]

Ten thousand gold soul coins was already an enormous sum for ordinary people.

As long as his soul power continued to rise, he could gain an endless stream of wealth.

But Lin Tian only looked at it for a moment before shaking his head.

"On Douluo Continent, strength is ultimately supreme."

"As long as I possess enough strength, I'll never lack gold soul coins."

It was not worth wasting a precious talent slot for money.

The third option was Yu Xiaogang's Theory.

Lin Tian skipped it without hesitation.

Yu Xiaogang's theories were fine for teaching people who had only just begun learning about soul masters.

But relying on those theories to reach the pinnacle was nothing more than a fool's dream.

Besides, Yu Xiaogang himself had been stuck at level twenty-nine for years.

His entire set of theories was not even as useful as Gold Coin Rain.

Lin Tian continued looking downward.

[Attribute Stacking Attribute Stacking Attribute.] [Immediately obtain four Attribute Forgers. Golden-tier and Prismatic-tier Forgers will have a higher chance of appearing. Gain one random Forger with every level-up.]

Lin Tian's eyes immediately lit up.

Receiving four Attribute Forgers right away was only the beginning.

Every time he gained a level in the future, he could obtain another Forger.

Once soul masters reached the later stages of cultivation, every level came with an enormous gap.

Yet this talent would allow him to continuously strengthen his attributes while increasing his soul power.

The higher his soul power level, the more Forgers he would accumulate.

Once he reached the realm of a Titled Douluo, the combined effects of all those attributes would be astonishing.

Not to mention that the Forgers had an increased chance of producing Golden-tier and Prismatic-tier ones.

"A talent with limitless growth."

"I have to take this one too."

Lin Tian raised his hand and selected the second talent.

Then, he looked at the golden egg.

It would open in ten years and offered generous rewards.

If this had been before, Lin Tian would not have minded waiting ten years.

But now, he had already been expelled from Shrek and did not even have his first soul ring.

No one knew what might happen over those ten years.

And no one knew what the golden egg might contain.

Rather than gamble on a reward ten years from now, he might as well choose talents that could immediately increase his strength.

Lin Tian gave up on the golden egg and shifted his gaze to the remaining options.

Goliath Giant increased health by two thousand points.

Judging by the numbers alone, it was indeed astonishing.

But for a soul master, merely being able to withstand attacks was far from enough.

Compared with health, Lin Tian valued attack, speed, and strength more.

Windtalker's Blessing could greatly enhance healing-type soul skills.

Lin Tian had no plans to become a support-type soul master.

Even if his healing ability doubled, it still did not suit his choice.

"Golden Egg, Goliath Giant, Windtalker's Blessing, all abandoned."

As for the remaining Tank Engine and Pearlglow Gauntlet, Lin Tian did not hesitate for long.

Tank Engine could continuously enlarge his martial soul's size as his soul power level increased.

His vitality, strength, agility, and defense would also receive all-around growth.

This was likewise a growth-type talent.

Combined with Attribute Stacking Attribute Stacking Attribute, every increase in soul power would grant him double enhancement.

As for Pearlglow Gauntlet, it could make all soul skills trigger critical hits.

Soul skills were already a soul master's primary means of attack.

Once a critical hit triggered, the damage dealt would inevitably increase greatly.

Lin Tian raised his hand several times in succession and selected the final two talents.

"Prismatic Metamorphosis--Chaos."

"Attribute Stacking Attribute Stacking Attribute."

"Tank Engine."

"Pearlglow Gauntlet."

"Those four."

The four screens shone simultaneously.

The other five screens rapidly dimmed, turning into specks of light that scattered away.

[Talent selection successful.] [Prismatic Metamorphosis--Chaos has taken effect.] [Attribute Stacking Attribute Stacking Attribute has taken effect.] [Tank Engine has taken effect.] [Pearlglow Gauntlet has taken effect.]

System notifications rang out one after another.

Before Lin Tian could examine them closely, four ancient-looking Forgers appeared before him.

The four Forgers were each a different color.

One was silver, and two were gold.

The last one flowed with gorgeous multicolored radiance.

Prismatic-tier!

Lin Tian stared at the fourth Forger, delight appearing on his face.

Attribute Stacking Attribute Stacking Attribute merely increased the chance of Golden-tier and Prismatic-tier Forgers appearing.

He had not expected one Prismatic-tier Forger among the first four he received.

"Not bad luck."

Lin Tian reached out and touched the Silver Forger.

Silver light swiftly spread outward.

[Silver Attribute Forger activated.] [Constitution increased by 10%.]

A warm current surged through his limbs and bones.

Lin Tian could clearly feel his sinews, bones, and flesh strengthening.

His previously somewhat slender body also gained a greater sense of power.

He immediately activated the first Golden Forger.

[Golden Attribute Forger activated.] [Physical damage increased by 25%.]

Golden light merged into his body.

Lin Tian clenched his fist.

Even though his soul power remained at level ten, the power of this punch already far surpassed what it had been before.

The second Golden Forger activated immediately afterward.

[Golden Attribute Forger activated.] [Movement speed increased by 20%.]

Lin Tian moved his feet, and his figure instantly shot several meters away.

The grass along the riverbank was pressed low by the airflow.

When he came to a stop, his eyes were filled with satisfaction.

Constitution, physical damage, movement speed.

All three attributes were extremely practical.

Lin Tian walked back to the Prismatic Forger.

Multicolored radiance reflected across his face.

The first three Forgers had already brought such obvious improvements.

The effect of a Prismatic-tier one would only be stronger.

He raised his right hand and pressed it against the Forger.

The next moment, dense multicolored light burst forth.

[Prismatic Attribute Forger activated.] [All soul skill damage increased by 30%.] [Special ability: This bonus damage is fixed as true damage and ignores defense.]

Lin Tian froze for a moment.

Then, he could not help but laugh.

All soul skill damage increased by thirty percent.

Moreover, all of the added damage was true damage and ignored defense.

That meant no matter how powerful his opponent's martial soul defense was, or how great the difference in soul power, this portion of the damage would not be reduced.

Combined with Pearlglow Gauntlet's soul skill critical hits, its power would continue to rise.

"Prismatic Forgers really didn't disappoint me."

Just as Lin Tian was about to inspect the changes in himself, the Azure Lotus in his palm suddenly swayed gently.

Rings of azure light spread outward.

The budding lotus slowly bloomed.

The surrounding energy of heaven and earth began converging toward the riverbank.

The river churned.

The earth trembled.

The clouds in the sky rapidly shifted, and the sunlight was completely obscured.

The Azure Lotus left Lin Tian's palm and floated in midair.

A wisp of chaotic aura descended from between its petals.

Just that single wisp caused the bluestone beneath his feet to explode into fragments.

Lin Tian looked up at the Azure Lotus.

Beneath the cover of multicolored light, the Azure Lotus continued to grow.

Its leaves spread wide, and its petals unfurled.

An ancient and vast pressure swept in every direction.

At the same time.

Another incomparably ferocious power suddenly awakened within Lin Tian.

Black light shot into the sky.

Nine savage giant tails spread through the darkness, while a massive beastly shadow slowly emerged amid a gloomy aura.

Its four feet trod upon the air, its body blotting out the sky.

When its eyes opened, the surrounding space shattered in succession.

Azure and black radiance divided the entire sky into two halves.

Lin Tian stood between the two forces, his black robes snapping in the wind.

Another system notification appeared.

[Prismatic Metamorphosis--Chaos complete.] [Azure Lotus martial soul has completed its evolution.] [Congratulations, host. You have obtained the god-tier martial soul: Nine Nether Beast.] [Congratulations, host. You have obtained the god-tier martial soul: Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus.]
