Chapter 10: Martial Soul Evolution? No, it's an all-around talent enhancement.
Holding the Atlas Spear, Yun Yuan's demeanor was completely different from moments ago.
Dominance, determination, composure... these were perfectly embodied in Yun Yuan as he held the Atlas Spear.
In addition, Yun Yuan exuded a subtle sense of oppression, a sharp aura that even caught Bibi Dong's attention beside him. This was his Spear Momentum.
Gazing at the Thunderwing Flying Dragon, Yun Yuan held the Atlas Spear and forcefully thrust it towards its heart.
Under the Soul Power suppression of his teacher Qian Xunji, the Thunderwing Flying Dragon was unable to move, only able to watch as the spear, which could cut through iron like mud, pierced into its body.
"Roar—!"
A death roar echoed, and the Thunderwing Flying Dragon died with defiance, its eyes filled with resentment towards Yun Yuan.
Yun Yuan paid it no mind, calmly sitting down cross-legged, waiting for the Soul Ring to appear.
Bibi Dong, seeing this, was full of worry, but since things had come to this, she couldn't change Yun Yuan's decision and could only encourage him.
"Junior Brother, keep it up. Senior Sister still wants to bully you in the future, so you absolutely must not have any accidents, or Senior Sister will be very sad."
Hearing this, Yun Yuan glanced at Bibi Dong, smiled slightly, and assured his Senior Sister:
"Senior Sister, don't worry, I'll be fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, a yellow Soul Ring appeared above the dead Thunderwing Flying Dragon.
Seeing the Soul Ring appear, Yun Yuan's eyes showed excitement. With a thought, he absorbed the Soul Ring in the way Bibi Dong had taught him earlier.
First, he used his Soul Power to draw the Soul Ring over, then used Soul Power to refine the energy within the Soul Ring, allowing it to become the first Soul Ring for his Martial Soul.
The moment the Soul Ring's energy entered his body, Yun Yuan let out a low groan. The impact of six hundred years of energy was still quite challenging for him at present.
As time passed, Yun Yuan's back was soaked with cold sweat, and a trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Yun Yuan's condition, Bibi Dong paced anxiously, and even the usually calm and composed Qian Xunji was stomping his feet in place.
Clearly, both of them were very worried about Yun Yuan's situation, fearing he wouldn't be able to withstand the energy impact of this six-hundred-year Soul Ring.
Two hours later.
Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong finally relaxed, as Yun Yuan's Soul Ring absorption process had entered its final stable phase.
Not long after, the Soul Power around Yun Yuan receded, and he slowly opened his eyes, assessing his condition.
But to his surprise.
He felt his mind become exceptionally clear and smooth, and the Meditation Method Qian Xunji had taught him earlier now held new insights.
Not only that, Yun Yuan also felt that his Martial Soul had undergone significant changes.
The next moment, Yun Yuan stood up, full of anticipation, and summoned his Martial Soul, the Atlas Spear.
As the Atlas Spear appeared, a cold glint flashed, chilling the surrounding air. The silver light emanating from the spear's blade could even sting one's eyes.
This was merely a change in appearance. What truly caught Yun Yuan's attention was that the sharpness of the Atlas Spear had become far more terrifying than before.
"This is... Martial Soul evolution?!"
Qian Xunji, seeing this, stepped forward, his eyes fixed on the silver-white transparent spear in Yun Yuan's hand, his palms trembling slightly.
"Teacher, are you saying Junior Brother's Martial Soul has evolved?!"
The moment the Atlas Spear appeared, Bibi Dong felt a change in the spear, but she thought it was her imagination.
However, Teacher Qian Xunji's exclamation made her realize her feeling was not wrong.
"Hmm, if Teacher isn't mistaken, Xiao Yuan's Atlas Spear Martial Soul is now no weaker than our Spirit Hall's inherited Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul."
Responding to Bibi Dong's question, Qian Xunji nodded, then explained the power of Yun Yuan's Martial Soul to Bibi Dong.
"That powerful?!"
Listening to Qian Xunji's explanation, Bibi Dong's mouth slightly agape, her heart deeply shaken.
At the same time, Bibi Dong was filled with envy for Yun Yuan. Junior Brother's Martial Soul was already strong enough, and now, after absorbing a Soul Ring, it actually evolved.
This stroke of luck was truly enviable.
Beside them, Qian Xunji looked at Yun Yuan, his heart no longer hesitating, completely determined that the position of Pope of Spirit Hall in the future would surely belong to the young man before him.
After his Martial Soul evolved, Yun Yuan's status in Qian Xunji's heart rose significantly. The Yun Yuan before him was his most cherished disciple, and no one could harm this precious disciple of his.
Recalling his thoughts, Qian Xunji turned his gaze to Yun Yuan and asked:
"Xiao Yuan, how much did you gain from absorbing this six-hundred-year Soul Ring?"
By absorbing a Soul Ring beyond his normal limit, Qian Xunji wanted to see just how great Yun Yuan's gains were.
Hearing this, Yun Yuan emerged from his state of sensing his own changes. After checking his Soul Power level and Soul skills effects, he replied to Qian Xunji with a smile.
"Teacher, my Soul Power level has increased by three ranks, reaching rank thirteen."
"As for the Soul skills?"
At this point, Yun Yuan's first yellow Soul Ring lit up, his Soul Power surged around him, and he shouted:
"First Soul skills, Swift as Wind and Lightning!"
As Yun Yuan's words fell, purple lightning flashed on the Atlas Spear in his hand, and wind currents swirled around the entire spear.
The next moment, Yun Yuan swung the long spear in his hand, thrusting it towards a large tree nearby that three people could barely encircle.
With one thrust, the large tree was pierced.
Yun Yuan's long spear penetrated the entire large tree at a speed invisible to ordinary people. Traces of lightning power still lingered in the pierced hole on the tree.
After the demonstration, Yun Yuan began to explain his first Soul skills.
"Teacher, my first Soul skills can imbue Wind Swiftness and Thunder Blast power, but more importantly, it can increase my spear speed and my own speed."
"The increase in spear speed is one-fold, and my own speed increases by 50%."
Yun Yuan was quite satisfied with his first Soul skills. Not only did it provide additional attribute bonuses, but it also increased his spear speed and personal speed.
However, what pleased Yun Yuan most about this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest was that his talent seemed to have been enhanced in all aspects, and significantly so, almost doubling his previous talent.
Regarding this, Yun Yuan had an unrealistic conjecture: would his talent increase again when he broke through realms in the future? This was what he was curious about.
If it truly was as he thought, then Yun Yuan couldn't imagine how bright his future would be!
Perhaps the Deity realm would be an easy breakthrough for him.
His original talent was comparable to that of Heaven-Supporting Douluo Yun Ming, who would appear twenty thousand years later. At his peak, Yun Ming was the strongest expert on the continent at that time!
At his peak, Yun Ming had already stepped halfway into the Deity realm, creating a demi-God Position.
If the God Realm hadn't been absent, Yun Yuan believed that with Yun Ming's talent, he would definitely have become a Deity.
