Chapter 50: Sharpness
In this era of the Douluo Continent, there is no proper classification for Spiritual Power, and its application is at an extremely crude level.
Not to mention having detailed realms like Martial Soul Origin, Martial Soul Connection, and Martial Soul Sea as there would be tens of thousands of years later.
At this time, the improvement of Spiritual Power basically relies on the passive increase of Soul Power cultivation.
As someone who has lived three lives, Lin Yang's Spiritual Power is even stronger than his peers, which can be seen from his immunity to Charm control.
But as to exactly what level it has reached, he isn't sure himself.
However, he can roughly divide Spiritual Power into several stages:
The first is ordinary people, who only have the most basic Spiritual Power and cannot utilize it, corresponding to the Spirit Origin Realm.
Secondly, after awakening a Martial Soul, Spiritual Power begins to grow passively through continuous cultivation and obtaining Soul Rings.
At this level, a Soul Master can only crudely use Spiritual Power for perception and detection, but cannot exert a substantial influence on reality.
This roughly corresponds to the Spirit Connection Realm.
Because there are no specialized Spiritual Power cultivation methods, let alone the concept of Spirit Souls.
Therefore, the vast majority of Soul Masters are at this level; even Soul Kings, Soul Emperors, and even Soul Saints fall within this range.
The difference between them is simply that Soul Masters with higher cultivation have a larger perception range and can detect further distances.
When Spiritual Power takes another step forward, one can look inward at the spiritual World and interfere with the target's mind and Soul Power.
This corresponds to just entering the Spirit Sea Realm.
Using Tang San's Purple Demon Eye classification, it should be called "Mustard Seed"!
Currently, Lin Yang should belong to the level of just entering the Martial Soul Sea.
And the shame of Soul Saints—Shi Nian, as a Soul Master specializing in Spiritual Power.
His Spiritual Power is already sufficient to interfere with others' minds, and he can even easily pull others into illusions.
Such a level should represent Spiritual Power at the mid-to-high stages of the Spirit Sea Realm.
If it weren't for him being too reckless, perhaps a Spiritual-type Titled Douluo really would have appeared on the Douluo Continent.
Unfortunately, he not only became a complete "clown" but also personally delivered a precious head Soul Bone to someone else.
As for the subsequent Spirit Abyss Realm, it's estimated that only those few level ninety-nine Limit Douluos could possibly reach it.
Not to mention the later Spirit Domain Realm and Divine Origin Realm.
This isn't due to a lack of talent, but rather the limitations of the era.
Without the support of Spirit Souls, trying to break through the upper limit with just one's own Spiritual Power is as difficult as climbing to heaven!
I've digressed a bit.
Regardless, the breakthrough in Spiritual Power is ultimately a good thing for Lin Yang; perhaps it will bring some unexpected changes.
After withdrawing from the spiritual World, Lin Yang quickly seized the time to refine the Soul Ring.
Because of the Demon God Body's autonomous action, the vast majority of the energy within the Soul Ring was "eaten" by it, preparing to gestate the third Soul Ring.
The residual energy left for him was only enough to barely push him a bit further past level thirty-one.
One can imagine that a Soul Ring gestated by consuming so much energy would definitely be a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.
But this conflicted somewhat with Lin Yang's subsequent plans.
Therefore, he decisively made the Demon God Body Martial Soul "spit out" most of the energy meant for gestating the third Soul skills, using it instead to increase the age of the first soul ring.
The first soul ring, which was originally only three thousand years old, was rapidly enhanced.
Four thousand years... five thousand years... seven thousand years... ten thousand years.
When it broke through the ten-thousand-year threshold, the first soul ring suddenly changed from a deep purple to a profound black, slowly hovering around him and emitting an invisible pressure.
Lin Yang continued to use the remaining energy to increase the age until the Demon God Body Martial Soul's first soul ring reached eleven thousand years, only then stopping.
Meanwhile, because of his partiality, the third Soul Ring gestated by the Demon God Body was actually just a pitiful two-hundred-year Soul Ring.
It emitted a faint yellow glow all by itself.
The third Soul Ring, which could have been the "big brother," became the weakest of the weak in the blink of an eye.
Such a huge gap—thinking about it, it's somehow inexplicably pitiful.
Actually, Lin Yang can't be blamed for his partiality; the Demon God Body's third Soul skills is called "Bone Manipulation."
This sounded like a combat-type skill, which for him was just one more method of attack.
Moreover, in Heaven Dou City where he was headed next, it wasn't suitable to reveal his second Martial Soul.
Likewise, it wasn't suitable to reveal the Soul Rings attached to the Nichirin Blade martial soul.
One yellow, one purple, and one black—this kind of Soul Ring configuration, far beyond ordinary understanding, would certainly attract the attention of the Spirit Hall and the powerhouses of those Sects once exposed.
What could he do against these powerful forces then?
Was he supposed to expose the secret of the whale glue?
That would be the most foolish choice.
So he unhesitatingly increased the age of the Demon God Body's first soul ring specifically to enhance the "Blindfold" skill.
As long as he was careful, even a Soul Douluo wouldn't be able to see his true Soul Ring configuration.
After finishing the absorption of the Soul skills, Lin Yang was surrounded by six Soul Rings: two black, two purple, and two yellow.
In terms of Soul Ring count alone, he was already on par with a Soul Emperor, not to mention he also had a hundred thousand year spirit bone and an External Soul Bone.
He could guarantee that even a real Soul Emperor wasn't as wealthy as him!
Having absorbed the Golden Lion Tiger Beast's Soul Ring, the Nichirin Blade's Martial Soul origin was strengthened once again, and its pitch-black blade faintly shimmered with a pale golden light.
Facing the blade's edge, even he could feel a spine-chilling Sharpness—an absolute Sharpness!
Lin Yang raised an eyebrow, held "Scarlet Edge" vertically, and then let go.
"Scarlet Edge" fell freely.
"Swish!"
Without a sound, Scarlet Edge's blade pierced into the ground effortlessly, leaving only the hilt exposed.
Keep in mind that Scarlet Edge was only about ten centimeters from the ground just now, and he hadn't used any force; it had pierced the ground entirely based on its own Sharpness.
Pulling Scarlet Edge out of the ground, Lin Yang gripped the hilt and casually swung it forward.
A sharp sound of breaking air followed, leaving a faint golden glow in the air.
Clang!
This faint golden glow flew directly from the tip of the blade and sank into the rock wall of the cave, leaving behind a smooth slash mark.
Seeing this, Lin Yang was somewhat astonished; he thought of the golden glow that the Golden Lion Tiger Beast had spat out earlier.
Could it be that the Nichirin Blade had also inherited this trait?
This should be called "Blade light"!
Immediately, a smile uncontrollably spread across his face; now that he could unleash Blade light, it meant his attack range had expanded.
From now on, he would also have large-scale area-of-effect attacks.
Then he tested the third Soul skills.
As his first Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, the Soul skills was also very simple and direct, being an attribute-boosting skill as well.
Third Soul skills: Sharpness!
It significantly increases attack attributes, by up to three hundred percent!
One strike, triple the attack!
I wonder, my friends, if you can withstand it?
