Mo Yuan stroked his beard and said, "Second Awakening is a cleansing by the world's primordial energy. The increase in age varies from person to person.

A Black Iron Awakening can increase a Soul Ring by one thousand to three thousand years;

For a Bronze Awakening, the highest recorded increase so far is nine thousand years;

As for Silver Grade, the highest increase in recorded history is thirty thousand years.

The record holder was none other than the Sect Master.

As for whether that is the limit, no one knows yet."

At his words, Du Busi lifted his chin slightly, his expression proud.

"Thirty thousand years!"

Long Aotian and the others cried out in shock.

That meant that as long as one's talent was sufficient, a purple Soul Ring could instantly turn black after a Silver Awakening.

It would directly advance into a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring!

Mo Yuan smiled faintly. "This is also one of the key reasons why one's strength increases dramatically after a Body Martial Soul's Second Awakening."

Luo Wei added from the side, "A Second Awakening is usually carried out at the Soul King stage.

At this stage, Soul Masters generally already possess their first Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

They can absorb the increased Soul Ring age to the greatest extent."

"Furthermore, under normal circumstances, the fifth Soul Ring is prioritized for enhancement.

Unless one of a Soul Master's first four Soul Rings possesses a special and rare enhancement Soul Skill.

Otherwise, no one would waste such a hard-won opportunity for enhancement."

Lu Chen nodded slightly. This truly was the most suitable rank.

After a Body Martial Soul's Second Awakening, the physical body would be strengthened once more.

That way, even if the fifth Soul Ring's age increased drastically again, he would still be able to withstand it.

After a brief pause, Luo Wei continued, "With the Young Sect Master's talent, his fourth Soul Ring should be able to absorb a Soul Beast between seventy and eighty thousand years old.

If the Soul Beast's bloodline is high enough, combined with a Silver Grade Awakening.

There is a chance to raise the Soul Ring's age to one hundred thousand years in one go.

Only then would it be possible for the Young Sect Master to successfully absorb a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for his fifth Soul Ring later on."

Only after hearing Luo Wei's explanation did Lu Chen understand.

No wonder they wanted him to absorb a top-tier spiritual-type Soul Beast in advance.

They had already calculated the Soul Ring age that could be increased by the Second Awakening!

Increasing a Soul Ring's age did not require additional spiritual power. As long as the physical body could bear it, that was enough.

And Lu Chen's greatest strength was his physical body!

However, Xue Ling'er and Meiying, who stood nearby, had already been dumbstruck.

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring as the fifth Soul Ring?

Were the people of the Body Sect filled with gunpowder for brains?

They were that reckless!

For ordinary Soul Masters, even their eighth Soul Rings were only eighty or ninety thousand years old.

Their fifth Soul Rings were usually only ten to twenty thousand years old.

"Sure enough, monsters cannot be judged by conventional logic."

Meiying muttered to herself, looking at Lu Chen with a complicated expression.

The other elders were also utterly shocked upon hearing Luo Wei's words.

Elder Twin Fists widened his eyes. "Doesn't that mean the Young Sect Master has a chance of possessing six Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings?"

Second Elder Mo Yuan shook his head, a trace of shock in his voice.

"You're wrong. Seven!"

"Seven? Where would seven come from?"

Elder Guan Yi looked completely puzzled. "His fourth Soul Ring can be raised to one hundred thousand years through the Second Awakening.

If all the later ones are Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, that makes exactly six."

Mo Yuan spoke calmly. "Have you forgotten about the Golden-Tier Second Awakening?"

The moment he said that, everyone's hearts trembled again.

Seeing the slight change in their expressions, Long Aotian could not help asking curiously.

"Sect Master, I saw in Secrets of the Body that above Silver Grade, there is also a Golden Awakening. How many years can that increase?"

Lu Chen also looked at Du Busi with blazing eyes.

He was especially interested in the exact age increase.

At this, Du Busi's expression abruptly turned solemn.

He crossed his arms, his tone carrying an unconcealable pride.

"A Golden Awakening can only be attempted after reaching the Titled Douluo level, and the chance of death is extremely high.

In the present Body Sect, only this old man has successfully awakened!"

Lu Chen nodded. Du Busi was right.

Secrets of the Body recorded that a Body Martial Soul's Second Awakening itself came with the risk of death.

If one's vitality and blood were not strong enough to withstand the cleansing of the world's primordial energy, the result would only be death from an exploding body.

This was also one of the core reasons the Body Sect completely declined by the era of Douluo Continent Three.

As for the further awakening available to Titled Douluo, the danger increased geometrically.

Even Luo Wei, who had achieved a Silver Grade Second Awakening at the Soul King stage.

Though she was now a Super Douluo, still did not dare attempt a Golden Awakening.

At this level, their perception of death far surpassed that of ordinary people.

They knew full well that without sufficient opportunity, forcing an awakening would only lead to death.

Even more Titled Douluo did not have the chance to attempt a Golden Awakening at all.

Silver was already their peak.

After a pause, Du Busi continued, "If the awakening succeeds, it can add another ten to fifty thousand years on top of the Silver Grade increase.

My seventh Soul Ring gained forty thousand years through a Golden Awakening.

It successfully reached an age of one hundred and ten thousand years."

"I see." Lu Chen suddenly understood.

"But none of that will be a problem for you."

Du Busi changed the subject. His eyes were filled with anticipation as he looked at Lu Chen. "With your Immortal Body, you can achieve a Golden Awakening with absolute certainty!

And your limit is definitely higher than mine.

In other words, if your third Soul Ring can reach sixty thousand years, it can be directly pushed to one hundred thousand years after awakening."

Even Du Busi, with all his vast experience, could not hide his shock as he said this.

He patted Lu Chen on the shoulder, joy, excitement, and expectation interweaving in his eyes.

In the end, it all became a resounding promise.

"Brat, go for it!

As long as you can absorb them, even if this old man has to lead the entire Elder Hall and follow the example of our sect's ancestors.

We'll go to the Star Dou Forest again and find five Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts for you!"

"Gasp—!"

At those words, everyone present sucked in a cold breath.

"Seven Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings... I don't even dare imagine it.

If it truly succeeds, wouldn't the Young Sect Master possess the potential to become a god?!"

White Bone Douluo's expression was filled with shock as he muttered to himself.

"In the past ten thousand years, only seven people from Shrek became gods.

If the Young Sect Master can become a god in this era, then our Body Sect will surpass Shrek and stand completely at the peak of the continent!"

Twin Fists Douluo clenched his fists, his expression excited.

However, upon hearing Du Busi's words, the corner of Lu Chen's mouth twitched slightly.

He was extremely calm!

If they really followed the example of their predecessors, the moment they tore up the agreement and entered the Star Dou Forest, Di Tian would undoubtedly lead people to wipe out their entire sect.

Did they really think the Fierce Beasts at Lake of Life were easy to provoke?

There was even a god beneath that lake.

Even if Gu Yuena did not act, Shrek was nearby, watching them like a tiger eyeing its prey.

To prevent another beast tide from erupting, Mu En would definitely be the first to intervene.

He might even strike from the shadows.

It was completely not worth the cost.

To dispel Du Busi's dangerous idea, Lu Chen hurriedly coughed and reminded him.

"Ahem, Master, there are so many Soul Beasts in the sea. We don't have to go to the Star Dou Forest."

"Hmm?"

Du Busi shot him a sidelong glance, a trace of displeasure in his voice. "Brat, are you looking down on your master?"

"Of course not!"

Lu Chen hurriedly waved his hands and explained with a smile, "I was just thinking that there are more varieties of Soul Beasts in the ocean.

Besides, it's still early. I've only just reached the Soul Grandmaster stage, so there's no rush to find Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts."

In truth, he was not all that excited.

Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were already top-tier in Du Busi and the others' eyes.

But Lu Chen knew that several Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts alone would not be enough to become a god.

For his later Soul Rings, his targets would have to be at least Fierce Beast level.

"Hmph, slick-tongued brat. I originally planned to have you undergo your Second Awakening directly after we returned this time.

But since the plan has changed, we'll wait a while longer.

In any case, a little monster like you isn't lacking this bit of improvement right now."

After saying that, Du Busi glanced sideways at Xue Ling'er before his gaze finally settled on Lu Chen, his tone imposing without anger.

"However, I heard just now that you intend to work on Soul Tools within the sect?"

Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat. As expected, it had come.

Meeting Du Busi's gaze, Lu Chen replied calmly, "Master, the times have changed.

The current Douluo Continent is no longer the era from ten thousand years ago, when one could dominate merely by relying on a Martial Soul.

This is the era of Soul Tools.

When you led the team to the Sun Moon Empire to fleece them, you must have seen the power of those iron contraptions with your own eyes, right?"
