"If Young Master Yu fails to absorb this Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, he will either explode and die, or go insane and become an idiot."
"If it's the former, that's fine, but if it's the latter, we who have established a mental connection with it might also perish!"
In an instant, everyone's face turned extremely ugly.
"What should we do now? Should we just interrupt Young Master Yu's absorption of the Soul Ring?" someone suggested.
Li Wuji resolutely refused. "No, Soul Master must not be disturbed during the process of absorbing Soul Ring, otherwise the consequences will be extremely serious."
"In my opinion, Young Master Yu comes from a noble family; he's the young patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He couldn't possibly be unaware of the dangers of absorbing Soul Ring beyond his level, yet he still did it. This suggests he has a certain degree of confidence. Let's wait and see!"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent and stayed quietly by Yu Tianheng's side to protect him.
As Yu Tianheng absorbed the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, an overwhelming spiritual shock surged forth, as if thousands of steel needles were simultaneously piercing his sea of consciousness.
This is a mental impact only Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring can produce.
Only Soul King level Soul Master can withstand it.
Yu Tianheng groaned, his forehead instantly covered in sweat, but he did not back down and immediately Soul Seizing Secret Technique.
A faint purple light emanated from his body, and his spiritual power, like an invisible thread, coiled around the spiritual impact, attempting to neutralize it. However, the spiritual impact of the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring was too powerful. Although the Soul Seizing Secret Technique could barely withstand it, it gradually became ineffective.
Just then, Yu Tianheng activated the powerful physical strength that Martial Dao cultivation had given him. He circulated his muscles and bones, and power burst forth from every inch of his flesh, feeding back into his spirit. The strength of his physical body made his willpower even stronger, and the Soul Seizing Secret Technique, which had been somewhat loosened, was stabilized once again.
Under the tense gaze of Li Wuji and the others, Yu Tianheng's figure appeared and disappeared amidst the glow of his Soul Ring. Time passed second by second, the mental impact gradually weakened, and Yu Tianheng's breathing gradually became steady. Finally, he successfully integrated the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring into his body, and an even more powerful aura emanated from him.
Seeing this, Li Wuji and the others all showed joy. This thrilling journey of absorbing the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring had finally been a complete success.
Yu Tianheng opened his eyes and stood up, a black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring rising from beneath his feet.
The Fourth Soul Skill granted to him by this Soul Ring is named " Thunder Dragon Head ".
It uses the power of Thunder to condense a huge dragon head to attack the enemy. It is a single-target attack, but its power is enormous, no less than the Fifth Soul Skill of Soul King.
After absorbing the Soul Ring, Yu Tianheng didn't leave the corpse of the Lightning Radiance Mad Lion behind; he simply took it and put it into his System Inventory.
Upon seeing this Li Wuji and the others quickly stepped forward to congratulate him. "Congratulations, Young Master Yu Young Master Yu! Congratulations on achieving your fourth Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring Soul Ring, a feat unprecedented and likely to remain so. We are filled with admiration!"
"It is our honor to follow Young Master Yu Young Master Yu and serve him!"
Li Wuji has truly broadened his horizons. Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, who else can reach the ten-thousand-year level with just their fourth Soul Ring?
Apart from Yu Tianheng, there was no one else.
Such talent is truly astonishing. Coupled with Yu Tianheng's extraordinary background, he is destined to become Titled Douluo in the future. Serving under Titled Douluo is not such an unacceptable thing.
Yu Tianheng nodded slightly after hearing this, then looked at Li Wuji: "Judging from your aura, you seem to be only one step away from breaking through to level 50 in Soul Power, but you just can't seem to get past that threshold, is that right?"
Li Wuji was taken aback, then replied, " Young Master Yu, I've been stuck at level 49 for over a year now. I've been diligently cultivating ever since, but I haven't made any progress."
"Hmm." Yu Tianheng nodded. "In that case, I might as well lend you a hand!"
After speaking, Yu Tianheng quickly formed a hand seal, and a layer of light blue True Qi surged around his body. This True Qi was the Innate True Qi he had condensed by cultivating the Innate Skill. As the hand seal changed, the True Qi like a lively stream, continuously pouring into Li Wuji's body.
"Calm your mind and follow this force to charge forward," Yu Tianheng said in a deep voice, his tone unwavering and resolute.
Li Wuji took a deep breath and fully circulated his Soul Power, merging it with the True Qi injected by Yu Tianheng. When the two forces converged, they initially clashed, and Li Wuji felt as if his body was being churned, causing him unbearable pain. However, under Yu Tianheng's guidance, the two gradually cooperated, forming an even more powerful impact force that crashed into the stubborn bottleneck.
Once, twice... the bottleneck remained firmly in place.
Seeing this, Yu Tianheng increased his output of True Qi, and the blue light intensified. Li Wuji also gritted his teeth, mobilized all his potential, and his Soul Power shone even brighter.
Finally, with another all-out assault, a crisp "crack" sound came from the bottleneck, like solid ice shattering.
Li Wuji's Soul Power surged like a burst dam, breaking through the level 50 barrier and achieving the Soul King realm.
He opened his eyes, his eyes filled with surprise and gratitude. The bottleneck of Soul Power from level 49 to 50 had been stuck for him for a long time, and he didn't know when he would be able to break through it. Yu Tianheng had actually helped him break through the bottleneck so easily. He was truly amazing!
Li Wuji looked at Yu Tianheng and bowed respectfully. "Thank you very much Young Master Yu, for helping me break through. I am deeply grateful!"
Yu Tianheng waved his hand. "It's nothing, just a small favor. But since your Soul Power has successfully broken through level 50, I might as well lend you a hand and help you obtain a ten- Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring so that your strength can be further enhanced!"
Li Wuji overjoyed upon hearing this.
After Soul Master breaks through level 50, it does not mean that they have officially entered the Soul King realm, because they have not yet obtained their Fifth Soul Ring. Therefore, they cannot use their Fifth Soul Skill. If they want to advance their strength further, they must kill a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and absorb the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring it produces, so that they can continue their cultivation.
However, Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast are not so easy to kill. Without the strength of Soul King or above, or by being surrounded by multiple people, it is more likely to be dangerous to deal with Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. This is why most Soul Master seek to join a powerful force.
The hope is that these powerful forces will help hunt Soul Beast when they reach a certain level; it is almost impossible to succeed alone.
"Thank you very much, Young Master Yu. That was exactly what I was thinking!" Li Wuji bowed again to express his congratulations.
"In that case, let's set off!" Yu Tianheng ordered, leading Li Wuji, Zhou Meng, and their group to continue searching for suitable Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast within the Star Dou Great Forest.
Three days later, Yu Tianheng and his group discovered a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast suitable for Li Wuji — the Gale Demon Leopard. This demon leopard was agile and extremely fast, with wind-attribute Soul Power fluctuations surrounding its body, making it a force to be reckoned with.
Yu Tianheng launched the first attack, unleashing his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul. Instantly, his entire body was enveloped in lightning, exuding a powerful aura. He roared and unleashed his First Soul Skill, " Thunder Dragon Claw," sending several thick bolts of lightning slashing towards the Gale Demon Leopard. The leopard reacted swiftly, dodging the attack with a flash, then transformed into a black shadow and pounced towards Yu Tianheng.
