With things having come this far, the two of them spoke frankly.
Snake Lance Douluo pondered for a moment before saying, "Tang Shan truly is an extraordinary talent. Leaving everything else aside, during this Soul Hunting trip, a chance encounter led him to comprehend will."
Even Golden Crocodile Douluo, who had seen countless geniuses, was startled. He knew better than anyone how useful will became at higher levels. A Soul Master who comprehended it and reached Titled Douluo had, in effect, a direct path past Level 92. Accumulating Soul Power would be the only concern; bottlenecks would no longer be a problem. And that was assuming the will never grew stronger. If it did, its power to overcome bottlenecks would only increase.
Snake Lance Douluo himself had broken through two bottlenecks after infusing his insights into will into his Martial Soul, opening a clear path to Level 93.
Will had such an exceptional effect that comprehending it could hardly be easy. Yet now he was being told that a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster had done just that. It was staggering.
Porcupinefish Douluo and Xue Qinghe were not surprised because Snake Lance Douluo had told them about it earlier at the pavilion. Even so, hearing of Tang Shan's achievement again still shook them.
"What's more, I suspect Tang Shan may possess extraordinary fortune. Judging by the two Soul Skills he obtained, neither should have appeared on a Thousand-Year Soul Ring. His Second Soul Ring is especially outrageous: his body grows larger as his Soul Power Level rises, without losing physical strength as it expands. It defies all reason.
"And Tang Shan possesses a Self-Deity Martial Soul. Whatever happens to his other abilities, his physical strength will only continue to improve. The further he advances, the stronger that Soul Skill will become."
