Breaking the Second Restriction (Please Recommend, Please Bookmark!)

After absorbing the soul ring, he had obtained his first soul skill and figured out what it did.

Lin Ye adjusted his posture to make himself more comfortable, sitting on a thick branch beneath him. Then he took out the jade pendant his parents had left him from his waist.

He stroked the jade pendant in his hand, feeling its warm, smooth touch.

Lin Ye recalled the contents of the letter his father had left behind, which he had read three months ago after breaking the jade pendant's first restriction.

According to his father's letter, there were even more restrictions within the jade pendant.

And according to Lin Ye's guess, every realm a soul master cultivated to should have a corresponding restriction! Three months ago, after awakening his martial soul, Lin Ye had broken the jade pendant's first restriction and obtained three Cultivation Methods: the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill, Phoenix Dance Six Illusions, and Nine Swords of Dugu.

These three Cultivation Methods had helped Lin Ye greatly afterward, especially Phoenix Dance Six Illusions and the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill.

Phoenix Dance Six Illusions could not only unleash astonishing speed in battle, but was also perfect for traveling, while the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill gave Lin Ye the ability to absorb thousand-year soul rings.

According to the book on Common Knowledge of the Soul Master World his father had left behind,

the soul rings a soul master absorbed largely determined their combat strength. The higher the age of a soul ring, the greater the enhancement to the body, and the stronger its soul skill's power and effects.

Furthermore, divided into ten-year, hundred-year, thousand-year, ten-thousand-year, and hundred-thousand-year tiers, the power and effects of the soul skills obtained from soul rings at each stage would undergo a qualitative transformation.

Although the Nine Hundred-Year Soul Ring Lin Ye had obtained had not reached the thousand-year level, where such a transformation occurred,

the Soul Power released by this nine-hundred-year soul ring had tempered his body and improved his physical constitution considerably.

Though it was only a few hundred jin, perhaps not even as much strength as he could gain from cultivating the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill for several days after first obtaining it.

Still, if Lin Ye wanted to cultivate those few hundred jin of strength through the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill now, it would take nearly a month.

A single soul ring had achieved such an effect. That was incredibly powerful!

And this was only a second-stage hundred-year soul ring. Lin Ye could hardly imagine how much thousand-year, ten-thousand-year, and hundred-thousand-year soul rings could improve a soul master!

Shaking his head sharply and pulling his thoughts away from soul rings, Lin Ye looked once again at the jade pendant in his hand.

According to what his father's letter had said, the second restriction contained something that would give Lin Ye a means to protect himself during his future travels and training.

Lin Ye was already planning to go out and gain experience in the future, so he was naturally very interested in the means of protecting himself that his father had mentioned in the letter.

What could it be...?

As Lin Ye pondered, he placed his right hand on the jade pendant, closed his eyes, and began channeling the strengthened Nine Yang True Qi within his body into it.

As the Nine Yang True Qi flowed into it, the jade pendant in Lin Ye's hand immediately began to emit a faint golden glow.

In the pitch-black night, with only pale moonlight and the weak glow of several luminous shrubs on the ground, that faint golden light appeared especially dazzling. "There really is another restriction!"

The moment his Nine Yang True Qi entered the jade pendant, Lin Ye's eyes lit up.

He could feel that the Nine Yang True Qi had indeed encountered an invisible barrier within the jade pendant.

Having read his father's letter, Lin Ye naturally knew that this barrier was called a restriction! As long as he could break through it, he would receive new rewards.

Though he did not know whether they would be martial arts or something else, Lin Ye still felt somewhat excited.

"Come on!"

Taking a deep breath, Lin Ye's gaze turned serious. He began mobilizing his Nine Yang True Qi, continuously launching attacks against the invisible restriction within the jade pendant.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Under Lin Ye's careful control, the abundant Nine Yang True Qi within his body surged like raging waves, repeatedly slamming into the jade pendant's second restriction.

After Lin Ye repeatedly mobilized his Nine Yang True Qi to bombard it, the jade pendant's second restriction finally began to crumble.

Boom!

At last, with Lin Ye's full concentration controlling the Nine Yang True Qi and unleashing an all-out strike, the jade pendant's second restriction was finally shattered!

Lin Ye's consciousness instantly entered a pitch-black space.

Having experienced this once before, Lin Ye did not panic.

He knew this was the storage space connected to the second restriction, where the rewards his father had left him—and perhaps another letter—were stored!

His gaze swept quickly through the darkness, and Lin Ye soon spotted two wooden boxes floating in the air.

Found them! The moment he saw the two wooden boxes, Lin Ye's eyes lit up. With a thought, as his consciousness withdrew from the dark space, two wooden boxes quietly appeared in his hands.

Are these the things Father left for me?

Holding the two wooden boxes, Lin Ye quickly opened them.

Inside the first wooden box were two silver-white beads and three strange golden crystal cards, while the second wooden box contained a letter.

This is a letter Father left for me! Seeing the letter in the box, Lin Ye's eyes immediately lit up.

He quickly returned both wooden boxes to the Jade Pendant Space, leaving behind only the letter from the second box. After opening it, he began to read.

The first thing he saw was another line of familiar handwriting:

"Dear son, we meet again."

"If you have received this letter from your father, then it seems you have already absorbed your first soul ring and advanced to the Soul Master realm. Not bad, not bad! Since neither your mother nor I are by your side, I don't know what soul beast you chose for your first soul ring. However, Support System Soul Masters generally have a fairly high margin for error when absorbing soul rings, so it likely will not have much of an impact."

"Before reading this letter your father left you, I do not know whether you have opened the other wooden box. The things inside it may leave you confused."

"But don't worry. This letter is the answer your father left for you."

"In the other wooden box, the two silver-white eyeballs are a pair of External Soul Bones your father left you. You may call them the External Soul Bone: Double Pupils. At present, this pair of External Soul Bones is still in its most primitive form."

"Even so, once you activate these External Soul Bones, they will grant your eyes many extraordinary abilities: Illusion Break, Bullet Time, Eagle Eye, and Night Vision."

"As its name suggests, Illusion Break means no illusion can hide itself before you or deceive your eyes. However, because the Double Pupils are still in their most primitive form, they can only see through illusions and cannot counterattack."

"Bullet Time can slow down everything you see before your eyes. As its name suggests, Eagle Eye can give you vision as sharp as an eagle's, while Night Vision is easy to understand—it allows you to see at night as though it were daytime."

"You may not yet know much about External Soul Bones, but one of the two books I gave you mentioned soul bones. External Soul Bones are a special type among soul bones, even more precious than ordinary soul bones. Therefore, you absolutely must not let anyone else discover that you possess External Soul Bones."

"However, because your External Soul Bones are your eyes, most people will find it difficult to notice as long as you do not tell them yourself."

"The abilities mentioned above are merely the most basic abilities of the External Soul Bone: Double Pupils. If you can evolve your Double Pupils, you will gain even more powerful abilities. Your father will not elaborate here, so you can explore them slowly on your own."

"The External Soul Bone: Double Pupils I mentioned above can only be considered a gift from your father. Though it has great potential, it cannot guarantee your safety. However, the second item your father left in the box will be your safeguard in the future."

"The second item your father gave you appears to be three crystal cards, but these three cards are actually called Titled Douluo Experience Cards!"

"As the name suggests, once you use these three cards, they will grant you the strength of a Titled Douluo for a period of time!"

"The method of using them is very simple. Simply drip blood onto them, and you can make these three cards recognize you as their master. In the future, with a thought, you can activate the power of these three cards and possess the power of a Titled Douluo for half an hour."

"After activating a Titled Douluo Experience Card, the Titled Douluo realm you gain will be Rank 99. On Douluo Continent, that will absolutely ensure your safety."

"All right! That is all your father has to say. I hope you will cultivate diligently in the future, my son. We will surely have a chance to meet again someday!"
