The Blue Silver Emperor, in a sacrificial manner, directly transformed into a soul spirit. It fully supported Su Yu's absorption and refinement, once again elevating his limits. 

The energy within the origin of the spirit ring was remarkably easy to refine. Meanwhile, the vast soul power of the Blue Silver Emperor was contained, avoiding any uncontrolled surges within Su Yu's body. 

"If I remember correctly, the little one mentioned that the Blue Silver Emperor's ultimate ability is resurrection through its Spring Breeze Revives All technique. If that's the case, let me assist you." 

Electrolux recalled Su Yu's description of the Blue Silver Emperor's resurrection ability: even if it perished, it would leave behind a seed capable of regrowing, thereby achieving rebirth. 

"Blue Silver Seed!" 

Under his refinement, a mass of energy radiating a blue-golden glow gradually took the shape of a seed. 

A potent vitality burst forth, connecting with Su Yu. 

During Su Yu's process of absorbing the spirit ring's origin, a seed appeared in his consciousness and fused with the spirit ring. 

An intuitive realization struck Su Yu; he understood his teacher's intentions. 

Only after the seed fully merged with the spirit ring did Su Yu complete the refinement of the origin's last trace. 

Three purple rings, one black, and one red—five spirit rings encircled his body. Gradually, an orange spirit ring began to form, layering itself outside the fifth red ring. 

Su Yu's soul power then surged explosively. 

Level 61, Level 62... 

The 200,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor spirit soul granted him an immense amount of soul power. Fortunately, their origins were compatible, making the refinement process effortless for Su Yu. 

Ten days passed. 

Su Yu's soul power finally stabilized at Level 66. 

The soul power bestowed by the Blue Silver Emperor spirit soul had been completely refined. 

"This harvest is incredible," Su Yu remarked. 

He had directly leaped from Level 50 to Level 66. 

All of this stemmed from his journey to the Dragon Valley. 

After all, the foundation of his plan relied on being able to absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring. 

"The opportunities Dragon Valley brought you are far more than that," Elder Yi said. "But now, you owe a great debt of gratitude." 

Su Yu dismissed this with indifference. A debt was a debt—he would repay it if the opportunity arose. 

The favor owed to the Dragon God would likely be repaid to the soul beasts. 

As for the soul beasts, while the Soul Spirit method offered some alleviation, it didn't address the root of the issue. 

After all, even creating a soul spirit required the soul beast to sacrifice its own life. 

The only difference was that soul masters now needed to hunt fewer soul beasts in their lifetime. 

Artificial soul spirits were a promising solution, but their creation required gene banks, leading to the sacrifice of even more soul beasts. 

Thus, a new method had to be found. 

Su Yu didn't dwell on this problem. 

He believed solutions would present themselves when the time came. 

Electrolux didn't correct Su Yu's understanding. 

The benefits Dragon Valley bestowed upon him were far greater than the visible improvements. 

"In this dimension, gods monitor and interfere with the lower realm at will. That is the greatest despair," Electrolux stated. 

If not for constantly enveloping Su Yu in his divine consciousness, Electrolux feared that Su Yu would have long been influenced. This also caused significant energy consumption, hindering Electrolux's recovery. 

Yet, upon entering Dragon Valley, the realm naturally shielded them from divine interference. Furthermore, when Su Yu sowed Blue Silver Grass across the entire Dragon Tomb, he earned the valley's blessing. 

The disruption of spacetime forces further shielded him from the gods' prying eyes. 

Electrolux crafted the Blue Silver Seed not merely because resurrection techniques were precious but because he believed Su Yu might one day require such an ability. 

The semi-plane of the undead, after enduring a month of tribulation, remained mostly unchanged—still a desolate expanse. 

"Let's go." 

With a wave of Electrolux's right hand, a portal materialized. Su Yu stepped through, returning to the valley where the Blue Silver Emperor resided. 

The moment he emerged, Su Yu sensed a change in the atmosphere. 

Without the Blue Silver Emperor, the aura of the Blue Silver Grass in the valley had subtly diminished. 

However, they didn't appear overly despondent. 

Through his martial spirit perception, Su Yu could clearly sense that the Sun Moon Empire still held faith in the Blue Silver Emperor. 

Perhaps this was the authority the Blue Silver Emperor had passed on before its departure. 

"At the end of the day, you're merely human. Holding the Blue Silver Emperor's authority isn't ideal for the Blue Silver Clan." 

Su Yu didn't refute the Blue Silver Emperor's statement. 

Besides, he had no desire for such authority. 

This responsibility was best entrusted to the true Blue Silver Grass. 

Unfolding his wings, Su Yu activated the synergy of six spirit rings, amplifying his power with battle armor. His soul power surged to a level comparable to a Soul Douluo! 

In an instant, he transformed into a streak of light, vanishing into the horizon. 

*Sun-Moon.* 

Kong Deming was stunned by Su Yu's progress. 

"You've reached Level 66 already?" 

Considering his age, Su Yu was still two and a half months shy of turning fifteen! 

Not yet fifteen years old and already at Level 66 soul power. 

Such terrifying progress left Kong Deming both alarmed and unsettled. 

"The speed at which your soul power is skyrocketing is honestly a bit frightening." 

"Teacher, it's merely the result of absorbing a 100,000-year spirit ring and a 200,000-year spirit ring, which naturally boosted my soul power. 

You've also absorbed quite a few 100,000-year spirit rings. While they may only raise your soul power by a single level, for a Soul King or Soul Emperor, it could mean a ten-level increase. 

I've only reached Level 66 because of the influence of my ultimate attributes." 

Only? 

Kong Deming's mouth twitched involuntarily. 

First of all, Su Yu didn't seem to grasp how extraordinary it was to absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring as his fifth ring. 

Thinking of Su Yu's spirit ring configuration, Kong Deming felt a renewed sense of suffocation. 

At this point, even his second martial soul might not be able to match Su Yu's setup. 

"But for a 200,000-year fierce beast spirit ring to appear as orange... that's something new." 

"Teacher, that's because it was absorbed using the Soul Spirit Method. That's why it's orange." 

In the history of the Douluo Continent, there have been instances of spirit rings from fierce beasts exceeding 200,000 years being absorbed. Yet, no orange spirit rings had ever appeared. 

Technically, a fierce beast refers to a spirit beast that has endured the tribulation after reaching 200,000 years of age. 

Some spirit beasts, after living 100,000 years without taking human form, might survive another millennium and face a tribulation, thereby stepping onto the path of becoming a fierce beast. However, such beasts still fall under the category of 100,000-year spirit beasts until they surpass this threshold. 

As for true fierce beasts, 200,000 years is just the starting point. The truly powerful ones have lived for hundreds of thousands of years. 

The Ten Great Beasts is the term used to describe the ten strongest fierce beasts known to humanity. 

"This Soul Spirit Method of yours does seem particularly useful for soul masters. 

With a soul spirit, a soul master can better control their soul skills. 

Moreover, some compatible soul spirits can even double combat effectiveness." 

However, the chances of widespread adoption were slim. 

The conditions for forming a soul spirit contract were exceedingly strict. 

The issue wasn't the difficulty of crafting the array but the need for the spirit beast's cooperation, which was the hardest part. 

To absorb a soul spirit, the spirit beast's consent was crucial, greatly improving the success rate. 

Otherwise, even if one gambled and forcibly succeeded, the soul spirit would likely resent the soul master and refuse to cooperate. 

Only someone like Su Yu, who could exploit loopholes with spirit beasts on the brink of critical age thresholds, had a real chance of convincing a spirit beast to become his soul spirit. 

Additionally, an extraordinary level of innate talent was essential. 

Kong Deming understood that whether it was the Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine or the Blue Silver Emperor, their willingness to become Su Yu's soul spirits ultimately hinged on one thing: Su Yu's talent. 

The talent to ascend to godhood. 

Otherwise, no matter how powerful he was or how much he could extend their lives, why would they even consider him? 

This was especially true for the Blue Silver Emperor. Without Su Yu's plan, suppressing its cultivation would have allowed it to survive at least another hundred years. 

Even if the tribulation damaged its origin, it could have lingered for several more centuries. 

If there was no hope of reaching godhood, what meaning would there be in becoming a soul spirit, bound to a Limit Douluo for only a few hundred years at most? 

"Indeed, to truly popularize the Soul Spirit Method, there would need to be strong soul beast leaders to establish order. Otherwise, even dying spirit beasts wouldn't have the altruism to volunteer." 

I'm dying, so I might as well become a soul spirit and extend my life for a few more years? 

That wouldn't make much sense to a soul beast. 

Even a century is but a fleeting moment in the eyes of spirit beasts. 

For most spirit beasts, the notion of becoming a spirit ring to prevent their kind from being hunted doesn't inspire altruism. 

Except for the Beast God Di Tian, who might consider such matters, most spirit beasts live by the laws of the jungle: survival of the fittest. 

Under the amplification of his mid-level battle armor, Su Yu had already attained the power of a Soul Douluo. This meant he was also capable of crafting Level 8 soul tools. 

With unparalleled comprehension abilities, Su Yu held an absolute advantage in understanding soul tool theories. 

His entire cultivation system was built upon the core arrays of soul tools, making progress in soul tool crafting paramount. 

---

"What? You're aiming to become a Level 8 Soul Engineer?" 

Jing Hongchen stared in disbelief at the application for rare materials in his hand. 

Looking at Su Yu's youthful face—still under fifteen years old—Jing Hongchen felt the absurdity of the situation. 

"Hall Master, I've run out of my rare metal quota. 

If I recall correctly, Sun-Moon Hall offers additional rare metals for first-time attempts to advance to a higher level of Soul Engineer." 

Jing Hongchen's mouth twitched. 

Not long ago, he thought Su Yu's rare metal allocation was so substantial that he wouldn't need to worry about running out. 

Yet, just a year after the Soul Master Tournament, Su Yu had depleted his entire quota of rare metals. 

This included the allocation he was supposed to receive for the current year. 

The results, however, were astounding. 

The sheer amount of rare metals consumed translated into Su Yu's mastery of crafting techniques and his breakthrough to a Level 7 Soul Engineer. 

Now, Su Yu was eligible to attempt advancement to Level 8! 

Jing Hongchen realized Su Yu wasn't the type to make baseless claims. His intent to challenge the Level 8 Soul Engineer rank was genuine, with a high probability of success. 

The only uncertainty was how much time it would take. 

Even if he succeeded within a year, Su Yu would undoubtedly break the record for the Sun Moon Empire. 

---

Jing Hongchen couldn't help but feel pity for his grandson, who was still struggling to reach Level 7. 

Too cruel! 

"Do you need us to provide Level 8 soul tool theories?" 

Jing Hongchen asked as a formality. 

Soul engineers like Su Yu, under the tutelage of someone like Kong Deming, generally didn't need such resources. However, many soul engineers attempting higher levels lacked similar support. 

Sun-Moon Hall was accommodating in this regard: providing the necessary theories but requiring repayment through labor while enforcing strict non-disclosure. 

Su Yu declined. 

For someone qualified to access advanced theories, it was more cost-effective to obtain them independently than through Sun-Moon Hall's loan program. 

The program primarily catered to those who otherwise lacked access to these resources. 

---

"I'll approve one ton of rare metals as your quota. That's the maximum I can authorize," Jing Hongchen said. 

Su Yu held numerous titles: disciple of Kong Deming, holder of multiple Sun Moon Empire soul engineer records, head of a research institute, and co-developer of battle armor technology—the creator of the battle armor system itself. 

Even one ton of rare metals was more than sufficient for crafting battle armor prototypes. 

Su Yu took the approval document from Jing Hongchen's hands. 

"Hall Master, is there anything else?" 

He noticed Jing Hongchen's hesitation. 

Under Su Yu's inquiry, Jing Hongchen finally voiced his request. 

"Xiao Yu, as you know, Yuhao possesses the Ultimate Ice attribute. As his teacher, there's only so much I can do to guide him in this aspect." 

Since Huo Yuhao became his disciple, Jing Hongchen had provided him with medicinal baths and supplements but offered little effective guidance for training. 

Comparing Huo Yuhao's slower progress with Su Yu's meteoric rise, Jing Hongchen attributed the gap to the difference between himself and Kong Deming. 

"Hall Master, you don't need to worry too much. Improving Ultimate Attributes is inherently challenging. Even I face limitations." 

Without the constraints of the Ultimate Attribute, Su Yu estimated he would already be at Level 70. 

Of course, without his extreme vitality attribute, Su Yu might not have secured many of his fortuitous encounters. 

"There are trade-offs to everything. 

But if you want Yuhao to quickly overcome the bottleneck of Ultimate Martial Souls, consider having him push his limits." 

Ultimate Martial Souls require gradual accumulation, active cultivation methods for condensing soul power, or extreme breakthroughs to accelerate development. 

Su Yu himself had opted for the latter. 

Given the slow rate of soul power improvement, he used the extra time to strengthen his physique and enhance other abilities. 

"Absorbing higher-level spirit rings beyond his limit and fully refining the soul power within could increase his level by at least three. Each spirit ring absorbed this way could save him a year of training." 

Jing Hongchen's lips twitched. 

Three levels from one spirit ring? 

And Ultimate Attribute soul power at that? 

He vividly remembered Su Yu's absorption of the 15,000-year-old mutated Sword Grass spirit ring at Level 40. 

Back then, it had barely raised Su Yu's soul power by one level. 

Even so, the result was only a marginal breakthrough to Level 41. 

"Hall Master, just guide Yuhao this way. Of course, safety should always be the priority." 

"Also, I believe Yuhao should undergo his Spirit Eyes' second awakening as soon as possible." 

Ultimate Attribute soul power is difficult to cultivate because of its inherent compression by the martial soul. 

With Huo Yuhao's twin martial souls, if both are of high quality, their combined compression effect would significantly enhance his cultivation. 

The Spirit Eyes have tremendous potential, but before their second awakening, they fall short. 

Jing Hongchen nodded, deep in thought about how to help Huo Yuhao achieve the second awakening of his Spirit Eyes.
