[Grandmaster, could you come out and explain what's going on with him?]
[Grandmaster hasn't explained anything in ages.]
Yu Xiaogang saw the comments drifting across the screen and ignored them.
His face was expressionless as he stared at the images on the Heavenly Screen, paying no attention to the comments asking him to carry on making a clown of himself.
He gazed at the silver light and shadow behind Lin Yi as all sorts of guesses sprang to mind. But after going over all the records he had read in Spirit Hall, he could find no description of it.
Before he could figure out what the silver light and shadow were, the images on the Heavenly Screen changed again.
A dazzling streak of blood-red light tore across the sky.
That was-
"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!"
Yu Xiaogang trembled, his pupils contracting sharply. He stared fixedly at the blood-red ring, disbelief written across his face.
"His Sixth Soul Ring! It's only his Sixth Soul Ring, and this fellow actually wants to fuse with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring? How is that possible? Absolutely impossible!"
Yu Xiaogang was like a madman, unable to believe what he was seeing.
Outside Nuoding City, Tang Hao, hidden in the shadows, watched the refined young man in the sky who had absorbed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as his Sixth Soul Ring. His chest heaved, and disbelief flashed in his eyes.
Only Soul Masters who possessed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring knew how terrifying a boost a Soul Ring of that level could give them.
And precisely because of that, they knew what kind of torment one had to endure to fuse with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Its requirements for a Soul Master were far more stringent than those of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Generally speaking, if a Soul Master's first eight Soul Rings failed to achieve the optimal configuration, leaving the cultivation of their Martial Soul imperfect, then even at level ninety, with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring before them, they might not be able to withstand it.
Yet on the Heavenly Screen, Lin Yi had actually fused with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring for his Sixth Soul Ring!
This was beyond the understanding of the Soul Master World of Douluo I.
Never mind the Soul Master World of Douluo I-even in the era of Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King, an uproar had broken out.
"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Cavern, Gold of Life!"
The Soul Master World of Douluo I knew nothing of these opportunities. But in the era of Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King, which of the top experts didn't know what these great opportunities represented?
Watching the images on the Heavenly Screen, Yun Ming sank into thought.
"If I remember correctly, aside from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the other two of these three great opportunities belonged to Spirit Ice Douluo."
He couldn't understand why Lin Yi had obtained opportunities on the Heavenly Screen that should have belonged to Spirit Ice Douluo.
"Sure enough, it's all false. This isn't a real scene from history."
Yun Ming had reached his own conclusion about the images on the Heavenly Screen.
After obtaining so many opportunities, a Hundred Thousand Year Sixth Soul Ring was understandable-like hell it was!
Even in the present era, with more than twenty Limit Douluo, not a single one had fused with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as the Sixth Soul Ring of their First Martial Soul.
Leaving aside the limitations mental power imposed on Soul Spirit fusion in this era, even after years of cultivation and the ascension of their Soul Spirits, those who could raise the Sixth Soul Ring of their First Martial Soul to a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring could be counted on one hand.
Heaven Dou City.
The headquarters of the Blacksmith Association.
Mu Ye stared at the silver light and shadow behind Lin Yi, momentarily lost in a daze.
"Martial Soul Second Awakening."
"It was actually a Martial Soul Second Awakening. His Chess Martial Soul actually completed a Martial Soul Second Awakening."
Recalling Lin Yi's two epiphanies and his cultivation of the human body as a chessboard to draw out its potential, Mu Ye could understand it.
Yet the fact that Lin Yi had drawn out his Martial Soul's potential to the point of a Second Awakening was still astonishing.
The scene changed again.
After successfully fusing with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as his Sixth Soul Ring, Lin Yi began condensing a Soul Core.
An uproar swept through the Soul Master World of Douluo I.
"What kind of cultivation is this?"
Countless Soul Masters were baffled, saying they had never heard of a cultivation method that condensed Soul Power into a vortex inside the body.
Only the Titled Douluo standing at the very pinnacle of this era vaguely grasped the significance of the Soul Core method.
"A way to solve the Soul Power bottleneck!"
In this period, Soul Master cultivation was still in a state of wild, unchecked growth. Breaking through to the ninth ring depended entirely on opportunity and luck.
Every Soul Master had a different way of dealing with their Soul Power on the verge of solidifying.
But without exception, those methods were basically related to their own Martial Souls or the secret techniques they cultivated.
And none of those solutions was as broadly applicable or as simple as a Soul Core.
Qian Daoliu breathed rapidly. At last, he had seen what he had been waiting for.
"With this Soul Core method, Xiao Xue will surely have an easier time breaking through to the ninth ring."
An easier time could very well mean saving half a year or even a full year of cultivation.
That would also be a great help in the God's Trial.
"Is there more? Besides this Soul Core, will there be any other new secret techniques for Soul Master cultivation in the future?"
Qian Daoliu stared intently at the Heavenly Screen, his gaze burning. He didn't want to miss a single scene.
By now, Yu Xiaogang, who loved spouting grandiose claims, had finally fallen completely silent.
Many of the extraordinary achievements Lin Yi had displayed were already beyond Yu Xiaogang's knowledge.
He couldn't understand them at all.
Now, as he watched the Soul Core being condensed, there was only confusion in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
He couldn't understand it at all.
Why condense Soul Power into a vortex?
The comment about Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings causing Soul Shock still lingered in his mind.
Now, Yu Xiaogang was even more unable to make sense of a secret technique like the Soul Core, something only high-level Soul Masters should have encountered.
"Ah Yin!"
Tang Hao, hidden in the shadows, suddenly cried out.
As he watched Lin Yi absorb his Seventh Soul Ring, he saw the blue-gold vines in the background. His eyes turned bloodshot, and he showed faint signs of losing control.
That was the Blue Silver Emperor!
Lin Yi's Seventh Soul Ring was actually the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Ring!
There was only one Blue Silver Emperor on the continent, which meant the Blue Silver Emperor Lin Yi had killed was Ah Yin!
"Damn it! Even after being reborn, could Ah Yin still not escape being hunted down? Why? Why?"
Tang Hao pounded his fists against the wall before him, like a madman.
The Heavenly Screen's broadcast continued.
It was unaffected by any Soul Master's reaction.
"The next scene should be Soul Hunting again, right? His Sixth Soul Ring was already a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, so his seventh, eighth, and ninth rings-four Soul Rings in all-will all be Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings."
Were they finally about to see the end of the Heavenly Screen's broadcast?
After all, Lin Yi had already cultivated to seven rings. His path of cultivation should have reached its later stages.
Yet when the scene on the Heavenly Screen changed and red light reaching from earth to heaven illuminated the world, every Soul Master in both Douluo I and Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King was horrified.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
On the Heavenly Screen, Lin Yi stood in midair in a green robe. White light and shadow intertwined behind him, merging with the world around him to form a chessboard of heaven and earth.
Blood-red Soul Rings emerged from him, one after another.
Red! Red! Red! Red! Red! Red! Red!
