Master Was Stunned

Master looked utterly baffled, shocked and confused. Why had Xiao Yu suddenly asked that?

"A Thousand-Year Soul Beast? With my strength, of course I couldn't kill one. The gap is far too great," Master answered, then asked in astonishment, "Xiao Yu, why are you asking this?"

Ye Yu said bluntly, "Because I want my first soul ring to be a thousand-year one!"

Master: "!!!!!"

Tang San: "!!!!!"

Master and Tang San exchanged a glance, both utterly shocked.

Master rarely felt shocked, but today, because of Ye Yu, he had already been shocked several times.

Master explained, "Xiao Yu, it seems you don't understand soul rings. For a Level 10 Soul Warrior, the limit for the first soul ring is 423 years. Once it exceeds that, they won't be able to withstand it and will die from their body exploding. Even absorbing a four-hundred-year one is a near-death gamble. For the second soul ring, a Level 20 soul master's endurance limit is only 764 years, let alone a thousand years for the first soul ring. No one can do that. Even making the second soul ring a thousand-year one is something no one can accomplish."

After Master finished speaking, Ye Yu still looked serious, not as if he was joking, and remained firm.

"Master, I've thought about it for a long time. I want my first soul ring to be a thousand-year one. My body is different from ordinary people's. Maybe I can withstand it," Ye Yu said confidently.

Master frowned, still feeling that it was impossible.

"Today, I saw you lift that eight-thousand-jin Heavy Armor. I know you're different from ordinary people. But a one-thousand-year soul beast is so powerful that even a Soul King would have trouble dealing with it. Now that I've put it that way, you understand how powerful a Thousand Year Soul Ring is, right?"

However, Master was inwardly astonished, because from Ye Yu's expression, he could not see the slightest hesitation or wavering. He still had that firm look.

"Teacher, believe me. I can do it. I'm not aiming too high. I truly think I can achieve it," Ye Yu said seriously.

Tang San, who was standing to the side, said, "Master, perhaps no one on this continent has ever absorbed a thousand-year soul ring as their first soul ring, but Xiao Yu is different. Maybe he can do it. I know how terrifying Xiao Yu himself is. He may even be more terrifying than I imagined."

Master began to waver. He no longer tried to dissuade him, and instead asked, "Xiao Yu, tell me in detail all the data about your current body."

Ye Yu nodded. "The gravity I can currently withstand is up to sixteen thousand jin. My body's defense can endure the impact of a waterfall two hundred meters high, or even higher. My internal organs, bones, and so on also feel very tough."

Today, Master had witnessed the gravity Ye Yu could withstand. Even wearing an eight-thousand-jin vest, he could move freely. A six-year-old child bearing sixteen thousand jin sounded unbelievable, but Master felt that Ye Yu could do it.

His body's defense shocked Master greatly. Ye Yu was not only immensely strong; his body was also extremely tough, actually able to withstand such terrifying impact. What puzzled Master was that even his internal organs, bones, and the rest were very tough?

"Xiao Yu, training the defense inside the body is the hardest. How did you do it?"

Ye Yu shook his head. "I didn't do anything. Tempering and strengthening the inside of the body really is difficult, and I don't have any method for it. The reason it feels so tough might be because I was born that way..."

"Born that way..." Master felt that made sense. He was born a monster, so naturally every aspect of him was at a monstrous level too.

Tang San listened from the side, feeling a wave of envy.

Master nodded. "All right. Then I'll look for helpers later. Originally, I thought that taking the two of you to hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings by myself would be somewhat dangerous, so I wanted to ask the academy's Dean to help. But now it seems that even calling on the Dean of Intermediate Nuoding Soul Master Academy would be useless."

The Dean of Intermediate Nuoding Academy was a Level 42 Tool Soul Ancestor. Dealing with a six-hundred-year soul beast would already be dangerous for him. Only if his Martial Soul countered it could he barely handle it. Now, naturally, there was no use looking for him.

Ye Yu knew Master could find a suitable candidate, but there was still one more matter.

Master was preparing to take Ye Yu and Tang San to register, but Ye Yu's next words made both his and Tang San's steps come to an abrupt halt, leaving them even more stunned!

"Master, the helper you find had better also be capable of hunting soul beasts around eight or nine thousand years old."

Master and Tang San froze at once. What did Xiao Yu mean by that now?

Master asked in astonishment, "Xiao Yu, why?"

"Because after obtaining my first soul ring, I can directly obtain my second soul ring!"

Ye Yu's words left Master and Tang San even more shocked. When Ye Yu revealed the reason, Master and Tang San were so stunned they went rigid!

"Because... I have Innate Full Soul Power Level 30!"

"Th... thirty levels?!"

Master and Tang San were shocked into disbelief.

Tang San said in astonishment, "Innate Full Soul Power can be Level 30?"

Master was equally shocked. Even with his vast knowledge, he had never heard of Innate Full Soul Power Level 30! He had not even heard of Innate Full Soul Power Level 20, let alone leaping past Innate Full Soul Power Level 20 straight to Level 30!

If someone with Innate Full Soul Power Level 20 appeared, he would feel it was not impossible, but Level 30 right away!

"Xiao Yu, you really have Innate Full Soul Power Level 30?!" Master was utterly horrified.

Innate Full Soul Power Level 10 was already extremely rare. He did not know whether Level 20 existed, but he felt that even across the continent, one might not appear in thousands of years. And now, Level 30 had actually appeared.

This was a Born Soul Elder? Once he directly obtained three soul rings, he would step into Level 31 and become a Soul Elder!

"Mm, yes. There's no mistake." Ye Yu nodded.

Master was both horrified and delighted. He had originally thought he had met two monsters today, but now it seemed Tang San was a Little Monster, while Ye Yu was a great monster, a freak of nature!

Tang San thought back to the scene during the awakening ceremony and exclaimed, "No wonder the light the Crystal Ball gave off back then was so much stronger than mine, illuminating the entire room in a deep blue glow. So your soul power was actually Innate Full Soul Power Level 30, Xiao Yu. Amazing."

Tang San already understood how rare and terrifying Innate Full Soul Power Level 10 was. After awakening, one could directly obtain a soul ring, become a soul master, and one's future cultivation speed would far surpass ordinary people's.

Innate Full Soul Power was equivalent to Talent.

And Ye Yu had Innate Full Soul Power Level 30. How fast would his future cultivation speed be? It was hard to imagine.

Master sighed softly. "It seems Xiao Yu is very likely to break the record in the future and become the new youngest Titled Douluo."

With Innate Full Soul Power Level 30, his cultivation speed was unimaginable, and what was more, Ye Yu himself was also extraordinary. This made Master confident that Ye Yu could absolutely break the record.

Ye Yu said, "Although I have Innate Full Soul Power Level 30 and gain soul power very quickly through cultivation, I feel that a portion of my soul power is absorbed by my own body and disappears."

Master was astonished. Soul power could be absorbed and partly vanish?

"However, even though part of it was absorbed and vanished, I feel that every time it happens, I become stronger myself."

Hearing this, Master grew even more astonished. He felt it was related to Ye Yu's special constitution—or perhaps to Ye Yu's second Martial Soul.

Master believed Ye Yu very likely had a second Martial Soul, only even the awakening ceremony had been unable to awaken it.

"Although part of your soul power will be absorbed, if it can strengthen you, then that is an excellent thing," Master said in amazement.

"Mm. Although I have Innate Full Soul Power Level 30, I plan to obtain two Soul Rings first. For the third Soul Ring, I won't be able to rely on others to help me hunt for it, so once I'm strong enough, I'll hunt and obtain my third Soul Ring myself."

Ye Yu's gaze was resolute, flickering with madness as he set his first extremely difficult goal for himself.

"Six years from now, I'm going to hunt a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast! For my third Soul Ring, I want a ten-thousand-year one!"
