A moment later, Dugu Yan had fully refined and absorbed the medicinal power of the Soul-Gathering Pill. Although she did not break through to the next level on the spot, she clearly felt that her Soul Power had increased significantly. She believed that it would not be long before she could break through to level 45.
The others were all shocked to see Dugu Yan Yan's Soul Power surge.
Unexpectedly, the Soul-Gathering Pill was truly effective, which reduced my doubts by half.
Ye Lingling held the Soul-Gathering Pill to her nose and smelled it, then said, "I smell many rare herbs on this pill, all of which are helpful for cultivation. There shouldn't be any problems after taking it."
He then swallowed it in one gulp.
Just like Dugu Yan before, he sat cross-legged and began to absorb the medicinal power.
After a year of getting to know each other, the members of the Imperial Fighting Team learned that Ye Lingling's Martial Soul was the Nine Star Flowering Crabapple, a healing-type support Martial Soul. No matter how many Soul Ring she possessed, the Nine Star Flowering Crabapple's Soul Skill was always the same: a wide-area, all-target healing skill.
At the same time, due to her own Martial Soul, Ye Lingling also has a special sensitivity to plants and can determine whether they are harmful to the human body.
Seeing her say that, the others no longer hesitated. After swallowing the pills, they sat cross-legged and began to circulate their " Innate Skill " to absorb the essence of the medicine.
Although Yu Tianheng had previously said that he could save the Soul-Gathering Pill until his Soul Power reached level 39 before taking it, in order to break through the level 40 bottleneck.
But they were too lazy to wait and took the medication on the spot, lest something go wrong.
Half an hour later, the medicinal power of the Soul-Gathering Pill was absorbed, and everyone's Soul Power Level broke through.
The Shi Brothers, Shi Mo and Shi Mo, successfully broke through the level 40 bottleneck, becoming the third and fourth Soul Master in the Imperial Fighting Team to reach the Soul Ancestor.
Next is Osler, Soul Power Level broke through to level 39. Although he failed to reach the level 40 bottleneck in one go, he has accumulated a lot of Soul Power and will be able to break through to level 40 soon.
Yu Feng's situation was the same as Osler's; after taking the Soul-Gathering Pill, his Soul Power Level broke through to level 39.
Finally, there's Ye Lingling, Auxiliary System Soul Master with the Nine Star Flowering Crabapple Martial Soul. After taking the Soul-Gathering Pill, her strength directly increased by two levels, from her original level 37 Soul Power to level 39. She was the only Soul Master among them to break through two levels of Soul Power consecutively. The reason for this was mainly because her strength was relatively low, so the pill had the greatest effect on her improvement.
After their cultivation breakthroughs, everyone expressed their gratitude to Yu Tianheng.
Although they didn't know the origin of the Soul-Gathering Pill, they knew that such a pill, which could enhance Soul Master's cultivation, must be extremely valuable and rare. Yu Tianheng in giving them such a pill was truly remarkable.
Seeing this, Yu Tianheng said, "We are all members of the Imperial Fighting Team, so we are a whole. As the captain, I naturally won't forget you when there are good things."
"Everyone's strength has improved after taking the pills, but since it's all thanks to the medicine, it can't compare to the stability gained through hard work. Today's training ends here. Everyone should go back and consolidate their cultivation levels before going out to hunt suitable Soul Beast to obtain their fourth Soul Ring."
After saying this, Yu Tianheng disbanded the group and told everyone to leave on their own.
Dugu Yan stayed behind with Yu Tianheng.
" Tian Heng, this Soul-Gathering Pill is truly miraculous! It can actually increase Soul Power by so much. By the way, where did you get it?" Dugu Yan asked.
Yu Tianheng replied, "Where else could it come from? Of course, I refined it myself. As for the ingredients, they were picked from the natural medicinal garden next to Senior Dugu Bo's residence."
"I see, no wonder there was a familiar aura."
Yu Tianheng looked at Dugu Yan and said, "You also took the pill. Although you didn't directly increase your Soul Power by one level, you're close. Why not strike while the iron is hot and go back to cultivate diligently? You might break through soon."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan nodded. "Alright, I'll go into seclusion this time."
With that, Dugu Yan got up and left, walking quickly towards her cultivation room.
Yu Tianheng walked alone within the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, constantly pondering what would happen next.
In Yu Tianheng's view, only two members of the Imperial Fighting Team were capable of taking on important responsibilities, and they were the ones he had to recruit.
One of them is naturally Dugu Yan. There's no need to say more about her; they're almost engaged and she's practically family.
The second is Ye Lingling.
Despite being a support-type Soul Master with no combat abilities, the role she can play is immense.
Because her Martial Soul, the Nine Star Flowering Crabapple, possesses powerful group healing abilities.
He is only at the third level of cultivation, yet he can provide comprehensive treatment for the entire team.
No matter how severe the injury, as long as a person has a breath left, she can heal them. In battle, she can make her teammates ignore minor injuries and maintain a good fighting state. For example, in the original storyline, during the battle between the Imperial Fighting Team and the Shrek Seven Devils, she instantly healed the seriously injured Yu Tianheng, allowing him to return to the battlefield.
This ability seems singular, with only a healing effect, and cannot compare to Ning Rongrong, who possesses the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, which has amplifications in all aspects and comprehensively enhances the strength of Soul Master.
However, in Yu Tianheng's opinion, Ye Lingling's abilities were far superior to Ning Rongrong's.
Especially on the battlefield.
Ye Lingling alone can heal a large number of wounded soldiers. If she can reach the strength of Nine-Ring Titled Douluo in the future, her healing ability will become incredibly terrifying. As long as her Soul Power is not exhausted, she can continuously heal our soldiers, greatly reducing the casualty rate. This alone is something that Ning Rongrong cannot compare to.
As a transmigrator, Yu Tianheng knew the future landscape of the continent, which would be a three-way power struggle between the Star Luo Empire, the Spirit Hall Empire, and the Heaven Dou Empire.
In the future, the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Spirit Hall Empire will form a tripartite balance of power.
The Spirit Hall Empire, as the holy land of Soul Master, has seen its power expand rapidly under the iron-fisted rule of Pope Bibi Dong. It boasts a large number of Soul Master and is full of experts, all with a strong desire to unify the Douluo Continent.
The Heaven Dou Empire is vast and populous, possessing a profound cultural heritage. Unfortunately, constant internal strife within the royal family has depleted much of the nation's strength.
The Star Luo Empire is known for its martial spirit, and the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of its royal members are incredibly powerful, making it a formidable military force.
Neither of the two empires was as strong as the Spirit Hall Empire, so they formed an alliance to resist the invasion of the Spirit Hall Empire. Each side sent its elite soldiers, with more than a million soldiers participating in the battle. After the battle, not to mention the Soul Master, countless ordinary soldiers were killed or wounded.
Ordinary soldiers are nothing more than cannon fodder when facing powerful Soul Master.
But now the situation has changed. With the existence of Martial Dao, even ordinary people can rival Soul Master through Martial Dao training. On the battlefield of the future, ordinary soldiers will play a huge role.
Even so, casualties are inevitable, so the existence of Soul Master cannot be ignored.
