NOVEL WEB Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Become a Soul Master, Divine-Level Technique!
In the blink of an eye, ten minutes had passed.
At this moment, the soul ring surrounding Yao Xuan's Creation Azure Lotus martial soul had deepened from purple to nearly black.
However, Yao Xuan was no longer as composed as before. His body trembled slightly under immense pressure.
Similar to fusing with a traditional soul ring, the process of integrating an adaptive soul ring crystal also exerted great strain on a soul master's body.
Only when a soul master's body and meridians could endure the pressure would the cultivation level of the adaptive soul ring continue to rise. Otherwise, forcing it further would be akin to trying to grow crops by pulling seedlings prematurely.
Of course, compared to regular soul rings, adaptive soul ring crystals applied significantly less pressure on the soul master.
For instance, if a soul master could only fuse with a thousand-year soul ring under normal circumstances, with an adaptive soul ring crystal, they could potentially gain a ring with the cultivation of four or even five thousand years.
Additionally, adaptive soul ring crystals were extremely safe. The moment a soul master could no longer withstand the pressure, the process would automatically halt, ceasing any further strain.
In contrast, integrating with a standard soul ring was an irreversible process. Once started, failure could result in permanent loss of cultivation or, in severe cases, the soul master's body exploding and their immediate death!
It could be said that the safety and reliability of adaptive soul ring crystals made them invaluable system tools.
Even so, the reduced pressure of the adaptive crystal was still considerable, and while Yao Xuan's physique far surpassed his peers, his back was now drenched in sweat. Beads of perspiration rolled down his cheeks, and his bones emitted faint creaking sounds under the strain.
Despite this, Yao Xuan refused to give up. Gritting his teeth, he pressed on.
Finally, as a faint black light flashed, the soul ring around the Creation Azure Lotus transformed from deep purple to a light black hue, completing its evolution. Yao Xuan let out a long breath, the fusion process at last concluded.
"Yes! I did it! I've successfully become a soul master with a ten-thousand-year soul ring! I wonder what my first soul skill will be?"
Opening his eyes, Yao Xuan marveled at his vastly strengthened body and the surge of soul power coursing through him. A delighted smile spread across his face. Activating the system ability Eye of Appraisal, he turned his focus inward.
[Name: Yao Xuan]
[Martial Soul: Creation Azure Lotus]
[Soul Power: Level 22 (Great Soul Master*)]
[Soul Skill (Creation Azure Lotus): Battle (Ten Thousand Years)]
[Goddess: Kesha (8 stars, Level 125)]
[System Abilities: Eye of Appraisal, Spatial Storage, Celestial Charisma]
[System Tools: Adaptive Soul Ring Crystal x99]
The next moment, a transparent status panel appeared before Yao Xuan, displaying his attributes following his breakthrough.
"Not bad at all. A ten-thousand-year soul ring actually pushed my soul power from level 20 to level 22! But… why is my first soul skill so simple? Just a single word?"
As his gaze fell on the description of his first soul skill, Yao Xuan's lips curled into a slight smile, but a faint frown also creased his brow.
"Let's see what makes this soul skill so extraordinary! As the first soul skill of a divine-level martial soul, and one with a ten-thousand-year cultivation, it has to be something truly special!"
With a thought, Yao Xuan tapped the system panel to view the details of his first soul skill.
[Battle: Derived from the "Secret of Battle," this is one of the legendary Nine Secrets. It is the ultimate offensive soul skill, lacking fixed forms or techniques. It can evolve into any attack, unleash any killing move, and even replicate others' soul skills.]
"This… As expected of the Creation Azure Lotus! My first soul skill is actually the legendary Nine Secrets—this is incredible!"
Reading the detailed description of his skill, Yao Xuan's face lit up with excitement.
Compared to ordinary soul skills, his first skill was brimming with limitless potential, waiting to be unearthed.
With such a soul skill in his arsenal, how could he not become invincible?
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the task: Become a Soul Master. Claim your reward?]
At that moment, the system's prompt sounded in Yao Xuan's mind.
"Claim it, of course!"
Eyes gleaming with excitement, Yao Xuan immediately affirmed his choice.
Ding!
[Congratulations on receiving the task rewards: Divine-Level Technique Creation Breathing Technique, Multiverse Goddess Summoning Card x1, Goddess Evolution Card x1, Adaptive Soul Ring Crystal x10!]
[All rewards have been stored in the system space. Please check at your convenience.]
"Fantastic! Let's see just how powerful this divine technique truly is!"
Eyes alight with anticipation, Yao Xuan retrieved the Creation Breathing Technique from the system space and began absorbing its knowledge.
He hadn't forgotten that his Creation Azure Lotus martial soul was so powerful that every breakthrough required ten times the resources of an ordinary soul master!
This explained why, despite fusing with a ten-thousand-year soul ring, his soul power had only increased by two levels.
In the original timeline, Tang San had jumped from level 10 to level 13 just by fusing with a 400-year Mandala Serpent soul ring.
Only a divine-level technique like Creation Breathing Technique could provide sufficient soul power, enabling Yao Xuan to cultivate at a normal pace instead of being held back by the immense requirements of his martial soul.
As the inheritance process began, intricate, profound scriptures flowed into Yao Xuan's consciousness. His smile grew increasingly radiant.
"No doubt about it, this Creation Breathing Technique is absolutely incredible!"
Opening his eyes, Yao Xuan exhaled deeply, marveling at the technique.
Not only did it boast a cultivation speed ten times faster than ordinary meditation methods, but its effectiveness also improved with the soul master's level.
In Douluo Continent, the higher a soul master's cultivation, the slower their progress became.
But with the Creation Breathing Technique, Yao Xuan no longer had to worry about falling behind, even against Tang San with his plot armor!
Of course, the technique had a limitation: its effectiveness was tied to the soul master's martial soul.
Only supreme divine martial souls like Yao Xuan's Creation Azure Lotus could fully harness its tenfold cultivation speed.
For lesser divine martial souls, such as Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel, the technique's effects might max out at three or four times normal speed.
Ordinary martial souls, even with innate full soul power, would at best achieve double the efficiency.
This limitation didn't bother Yao Xuan, but if he were to teach the technique to his future companions, their results would undoubtedly fall short of his.
Still, even with these restrictions, the Creation Breathing Technique remained unparalleled on Douluo Continent.
"Excellent. Now, it's time for my second goddess summoning!"
Gazing at the newly acquired Goddess Summoning Card in his inventory, Yao Xuan's face was filled with eager anticipation.
