At 15 years old, with 22nd level Soul Power and a thousand jin of strength!

Ling Yi gently nodded, his lips slightly parting as he silently uttered, "Not bad~"

Indeed, it was merely "not bad." In the original story, when Tang San first encountered Dai Mubai, the latter, at 15 years old, had 37th level Soul Power and possessed two yellow and one purple Soul Rings.

This 'Dai Leader,' who made a grand entrance, had his third soul skill, the 'White Tiger Adamantine Transformation' from the Millennium Adamantine Tiger, which could last for half an hour. During this time, his resistance to abnormal states would significantly increase, along with a doubling of his attack, defense, and strength.

After being blessed by the purple third Soul Ring of the Millennium Adamantine Tiger, Dai Mubai's strength, attack, and defense saw a substantial increase compared to when he was a Great Soul Master.

Coupled with the extremely high-quality 'White Tiger' Martial Soul, which greatly enhanced the physical growth of a Soul Master, Dai Mubai's ordinary state strength was by no means weak. The additional enhancement from the Martial Soul and the doubling effect of the third soul skill...

In total, in terms of raw stats, a 15-year-old Ling Yi might not necessarily win against a 15-year-old Dai Mubai.

Even if Ling Yi had mastered several furnace-level cold weapon techniques and possessed a thousand jin of strength.

Dai Mubai, from the royal family of the Star Luo Empire and the direct lineage of the White Tiger Dai Family, had an innate Spiritual Power of at least seventh or eighth grade. Combined with the ultra-high growth value of the top-tier beast Martial Soul 'White Tiger,' in a game world, his character stats would likely be marked with purple BOSS-level patterns.

At 37th level Soul Power, with the first soul skill 'White Tiger Guardian Shield' and the second soul skill 'White Tiger Radiant Wave'—the former for defense and the latter for long-range attacks—and the third soul skill 'White Tiger Adamantine Transformation,' which provided a comprehensive boost, his combat power was among the top tier of Soul Venerables.

Recalling these details, Ling Yi's emotions remained as calm as ancient well water, neither happy nor sad.

What kind of background and talent did the other person have?

What kind of background and talent did he have?

Compared to Meng Yiran, who was being cultivated by the 'world-conquering dragon and snake' couple, Soul Douluo Meng Shu and Soul Emperor Chao Tianxiang, at 16 years old, Meng Yiran was already at the 30th level. When he was 15, even with the two Century Soul Rings providing the 'First Soul Skill: Snake Blade' and 'Second Soul Skill: Snake Body,' his chances of winning against Ling Yi, who wielded a Five Hundred Forged Steel Spear or Steel Staff, were not high.

Not to mention, with Ling Yi wearing the 'Liu Hua Black Gold Inner Armor' and wielding a Thousand-Forged Weapon, he could easily make the young girl cry when his full combat power was unleashed!

Shaking his head, he suppressed these out-of-place thoughts of 'bullying the weak and fearing the strong,' which had been influenced by the joy of his breakthrough.

It wasn't easy to tame a wandering mind.

Perhaps only by entering a state of deep meditation and achieving a constant state of mind could his thoughts be kept from wandering so easily.

Extending his right hand, he focused his mind, and a blue soul power light flickered. A shadow appeared in his palm, quickly transforming into... a plant... a vine... a vine??

Ling Yi's lips twitched, looking at his Martial Soul, which had drastically changed in appearance, with a tinge of melancholy.

'Is this an evolution? It must be an evolution, right—?'

'But... how did you go from a plant to a vine-like form—?'

Ling Yi was speechless but had to accept the fact that his Martial Soul, the 'Blue Silver Grass,' had evolved from its initial form as a common 'Blue Silver Grass' to a larger version after absorbing the first Soul Ring. Now, with the second Soul Ring, it had transformed from a large 'Blue Silver Grass' into a blue vine about one and a half meters long with three small branches, with light blue leaves distributed evenly along the vine.

It was... quite peculiar.

From the essence, as the owner of the Martial Soul, Ling Yi could easily sense that this vine-like 'Blue Silver Grass' Martial Soul was significantly stronger than the 'Nelumbo·Blue Silver Grass' that had sacrificed itself and the 'Iron Birch·Blue Silver Grass' that was still quietly growing beside the bed.

Being significantly stronger than the eight-hundred-year-old 'Nelumbo·Blue Silver Grass' and 'Iron Birch·Blue Silver Grass'—what did that mean?

Feeling the essence within the Martial Soul, which had fundamentally improved, provided the answer: a thousand years!

His Martial Soul's quality was now equivalent to a thousand-year-old 'Blue Silver Grass'!

Although Ling Yi had never seen a thousand-year-old 'Blue Silver Grass,' and it was likely that no human on the vast Douluo Continent had, this did not prevent him from making this assessment of his transformed 'Blue Silver Grass' Martial Soul.

"Although it looks a bit strange, I have to admit, the evolved 'Blue Silver Grass' finally feels a bit 'powerful'~"

Holding the vine-like 'Blue Silver Grass' Martial Soul, which resembled a whip, Ling Yi muttered to himself.

Channeling soul power into the Martial Soul, the vine-like 'Blue Silver Grass' Martial Soul, under the control of his soul power, moved as he wished. With a flick, the originally one and a half-meter-long vine instantly extended and tightly bound the nearby weapon rack.

"This..." Ling Yi looked at the scene with a hint of frustration, unable to help but comment, "Is this the Blue Silver Bind—?"

Shaking his head, he pushed aside the sudden image that flashed in his mind and focused on studying the changes in the Martial Soul itself.

As for the soul skill, there was no need to rush. Although he didn't know if the second soul skill was the one he had been eagerly anticipating, given the eight-hundred-year-old 'Nelumbo·Blue Silver Grass' and the continuous absorption of 'Nelumbo Grass' or 'Dodder Vine' characteristics over the past four years, it was highly likely that a related soul skill would be born.

Next, Ling Yi tested various aspects of the Martial Soul, including its toughness, recovery ability, resistance to high and low temperatures, soul power capacity, and cultivation enhancement, and came to a conclusion.

His current vine-like 'Blue Silver Grass' Martial Soul, in essence, was not inferior to third-grade innate plant-type Martial Souls such as 'Bloodthorn,' 'Iron Skin Vine,' 'Energy Gathering Flower,' and 'Flame Grass.'

Gazing intently at the indigo vine in his hand, he gently caressed the tough yet supple stem and leaves, and softly murmured, "'Blue Silver Grass' that has just sprouted, up to the ten-year-old stage, and even growing for two or three decades, only has a more vigorous vitality but no soul power fluctuations, making it an ordinary plant.

Only after reaching fifty years or more does it begin to generate a trace of soul power, initially having the potential to become a Soul Beast.

Based on my previous observations, an eighty to ninety-year-old 'Blue Silver Grass,' nearing a hundred years, accumulates enough soul power to barely condense a true ten-year-old white Soul Ring.

Not the pseudo Soul Ring that appears when it first gains soul power at fifty years—"

"Breaking through the second threshold and reaching over a hundred years, the 'Blue Silver Grass' possesses the same energy as a common hundred-year-old Soul Beast, and the quality of the Soul Ring it provides is no different from the Century Soul Rings I have seen.

Such a 'Blue Silver Grass' can be considered a Leader Level existence among 'Blue Silver Grass'!"

"According to the information in the original story, Tang San's mother, Yin, was a ten-thousand-year-old 'Blue Silver Emperor' that had taken human form. The Ancient Forest where Tang Hao took Tang San for his Martial Soul to undergo a second awakening was home to a ten-thousand-year-old 'Blue Silver King'..."

"Ordinary 'Blue Silver Grass,' ten-thousand-year-old 'Blue Silver King,' and ten-thousand-year-old 'Blue Silver Emperor.'

"So, what about the missing hundred-year and thousand-year stages? Hundred years can be called Leader Level, but what about a thousand years?"

"Is there a hierarchy among nobles?"

"Ten-thousand years is a King, and a thousand years is a Marquis, right?"

"But, can a thousand-year-old 'Blue Silver Grass' be the same as a nine-thousand-year-old 'Blue Silver Grass'?"

At this point, Ling Yi suddenly realized that he himself was now a noble.

A Baron with his fief being his hometown, Beikouhe Town, and the twenty-five villages under its jurisdiction, owning a domain of several dozen square miles!

Touching his chin, Ling Yi wrapped the fragrant, cool blue silver vine around his wrist and hand, feeling the sensation of the leaves brushing against his skin, and began to meticulously define his newly reborn Martial Soul.
