"Huh?? Level 30 Soul Power!!"

Although the Soul Ring and Soul Skill fields were still empty,

the Soul Power cultivation field had changed from level 0 to level 30.

Dai Mubai was genuinely surprised by this result.

The Innate Full Soul Pill could give him Innate Full Soul Power.

Although his White Tiger Martial Soul was a top-tier Beast Martial Soul, the limit of its Innate Soul Power aptitude was only level 10;

even if his Second Martial Soul, the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul, was a god-level Martial Soul, the limit of its Innate Soul Power aptitude was level 20.

So after taking the Innate Full Soul Pill, his Soul Power cultivation should have recovered to level 20 at most.

Dai Mubai had never expected his Soul Power Level to recover all the way to level 30-

in fact, "recover" was no longer accurate. It was more like an increase.

After all, before he took the Innate Full Soul Pill and drew and fused with his Second Martial Soul, and before his Soul Power cultivation was depleted and reset to zero, it had only been level 27.

In other words, after going through all that, Dai Mubai's Soul Power cultivation had not only avoided a loss, but had actually risen by three levels.

He had to admit, the surprise had come rather suddenly.

It had even caught Dai Mubai off guard.

"I thought my Soul Power cultivation would plummet, but I never expected to find a village beyond the dark willows and bright flowers."

"Could it be that the Innate Full Soul Pill enhanced the 'Innate Full Soul Power' aptitude of both Martial Souls at once, and then their Innate Full Soul Power was added together?"

"The White Tiger Martial Soul's innate full Soul Power was level 10, and the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul Martial Soul's was level 20. Add them together and it comes to level 30 Soul Power."

"I really don't know what to say. Haha..."

After thinking it over and making a rough guess at the cause, Dai Mubai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Of course, overall, he was happy.

His depleted Soul Power cultivation had not only recovered, but had also grown stronger. How could he not be happy?

After all, the Star Luo Empire's princes had to fight a life-or-death battle to decide the heir to the throne when they reached adulthood at eighteen. That fact hung over his head like a sharp sword-

and now he had only a little over four years, less than five.

Within those four-plus years, he had to raise his Soul Power cultivation to the level 50 Soul King realm.

Although he now had Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls, and his enhanced aptitude had greatly increased his cultivation speed,

if his Soul Power cultivation had been reset to zero,

then cultivating from zero to level 50 Soul King in a little over four years, even with his higher aptitude and faster, more efficient cultivation,

would have been no easier than cultivating from level 27 to level 50 in a little over four years with his comparatively lower aptitude.

Now, with one precious pill swallowed, the Soul Power cultivation depleted and reset to zero by fusing with his god-level Second Martial Soul had not only fully recovered, but had even advanced.

How could Dai Mubai not be happy?

The task of cultivating to Soul King in four years had become much easier to accomplish.

As for the Innate Full Soul Pill only restoring Dai Mubai's Soul Power,

while the two Soul Rings devoured during his fusion with the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul had not been restored, Dai Mubai both understood and accepted that.

It was just like, "What does arresting Zhou Shuren have to do with me, Lu Xun?"

The Innate Full Soul Pill increased Soul Power. What did that have to do with Soul Rings?

Besides, fusing with the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul had devoured his two Soul Rings. That looked like a loss, but from another perspective, it might not be a bad thing.

It might even be a moderately significant stroke of fortune.

The particular nature of Martial Souls and Soul Master cultivation on the Douluo Continent tied a Soul Master's strength closely to their Soul Rings.

The greater a Soul Ring's age, the greater the power of the Soul Power it carried;

the stronger a Soul Skill was, and the better it suited the Soul Master's Martial Soul, the greater the Soul Master's strength and combat power would be.

At the same time, the older the Soul Ring a Soul Master attached within the limits of their body's endurance, the more noticeably their body would be strengthened and tempered, and the more their Soul Power would increase after a breakthrough-

Although Yu Xiaogang was a "plagiarist," the information on Soul Ring ages in the theories he had stolen and compiled did have some value as a reference, even if it was inaccurate.

For example:

First Soul Ring: 423 years,

Second Soul Ring: 764 years,

Third Soul Ring: 1,760 years,

Fourth Soul Ring: 5,000 years,

Fifth Soul Ring: 12,000 years,

Sixth Soul Ring: 20,000 years,

Seventh Soul Ring: 50,000 years,

Eighth Soul Ring: ...

Ninth Soul Ring: ...

Of Dai Mubai's original two Soul Rings, the First Soul Ring had been around 400 years old, and the Second Soul Ring around 700 years old.

Both had been under a thousand years old, ordinary yellow Hundred-Year Soul Rings.

Although their ages had not been low, they had been somewhat conventional.

Now, although both Soul Rings had been devoured, that also gave him a chance to attach new ones.

Before, when his Soul Power Level reached the bottlenecks at levels 10 and 20, he could only attach Soul Rings at the limit of what his Soul Power cultivation and physical strength at the time could withstand.

Now his Soul Power Level had reached 30. With his body nourished by level 30 Soul Power and tempered and strengthened by his previous two Soul Ring attachments, it was already far stronger than it had been at levels 10 and 20.

Now that he was attaching his First and Second Soul Rings again, he would no longer be doing so based on the Soul Power cultivation and physical endurance he had possessed at levels 10 and 20-

instead, he could use the Soul Power cultivation and physical strength of a level 30 Soul Elder as his standard.

That meant Dai Mubai could use 1,760 years as his standard and attach a purple thousand-year First Soul Ring.

For his Second and Third Soul Rings, as well as his other Soul Rings in the future, Dai Mubai could use higher age limits and attach and absorb Soul Rings beyond the standard.

That being the case,

the two Soul Rings being devoured while he fused with his Second Martial Soul

was not only not a bad thing, but had instead given Dai Mubai a chance to further improve his aptitude, foundation, strength, and combat power-

"My First Soul Ring can be a thousand-year ring. If I can obtain a god's Godhood Inheritance in the future and get a chance to increase my Soul Rings' ages,

"perhaps I can raise them to a hundred thousand years, like Tang San in the original work, and have nine red hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings."

At that thought, Dai Mubai's heart burned once more.

Just then, however, another change on the information panel before him caught Dai Mubai's attention.

"Huh?! What's going on? I remember my First Martial Soul was [White Tiger] when I first pulled up my personal information panel, wasn't it?"

"How did it become [Evil Eye White Tiger] now?"
