Chapter 45: Soul Power Soars! A Nine-Level Increase in One Day!!
Shui Bing'er could be considered Ye Wen's first friend in the human world of Douluo.
At the age of 7, Ye Wen's soul power had reached the peak of level 19, and he would likely break through to level 20 within a week.
Xie Hu and Xiao Bai's soul power also reached the peak of level 18.
At just 7 years old, the three of them were close to becoming second-ring soul masters, a talent level that left all the female students at Tianshui Academy in awe and made the dean and Shui Xiu Zhen incredibly excited.
Genius!
An absolute genius!
With them in the future Soul Master Tournament, Tianshui Academy might truly have a chance at the championship!
The dean and Shui Xiu Zhen had already begun dreaming of Tianshui Academy's glorious future.
"It took a year to increase nearly six levels of soul power, but it's not as fast as I imagined. Still, it's not bad," Ye Wen shrugged and continued absorbing soul power. He planned to focus all his energy on breaking through to level 20.
Soon, six days passed.
Ye Wen's body erupted with a wave of soul power, and large amounts of soul power began to gather in his body. He slowly opened his eyes, clenched his fist, and said, "Not bad, I've finally reached level 20. Soul power at level 20 is indeed much greater than at level 19!"
He smiled and immediately went to tell Shui Xiu Zhen that he needed to leave the academy to obtain a soul ring.
Shui Xiu Zhen, already aware of Scott's presence, knew that Scott would take him to get the soul ring, so she let Ye Wen go on his own.
Ye Wen left the academy and found Scott to begin forming his second soul ring.
He immediately sat down and started to form his second soul ring. The first ring that appeared was white, but it soon changed, first to yellow, then to purple! The purple began to turn dark!
Eventually, it settled on purple!
Eight thousand years!
Ye Wen's second ring was eight thousand years old!
During this process, his soul power surged greatly, reaching levels 21, 22, 23, 24!
A huge increase of 4 levels in soul power!
At 7 years old, with level 24 soul power, this was enough to shock the entire Soul Master world!
Scott, the Terrifying Knight beside him, was dumbfounded. He stood there stunned and said, "Master, the second ring reached eight thousand years? Even for soul beasts that have transformed, this is impressive, right?"
"4 levels, that's enough," Ye Wen said, satisfied. He then checked his newly acquired second soul skill, which turned out to be a weapon summoning-type soul skill. This surprised him because such soul skills were rare.
For example, Tang San's fifth soul skill, Blue Silver Overlord Spear.
This type of soul skill allowed the summoned weapon to be thrown for a devastating impact or used as a weapon in hand.
Ye Wen's second soul skill was called the Deep Sea Magic Hammer. It summoned a deep blue hammer, engraved with patterns from his Deep Sea Demon Whale. The hammer could be thrown at enemies to strike with great power, creating explosive effects.
It could also be used in hand. When the hammer struck an enemy, not only did it have overwhelming power, but it also generated explosive force.
It was terrifying. Having the Deep Sea Magic Hammer was far more powerful than using his fists!
"Not bad, my strength has increased quite a bit after my second ring," Ye Wen nodded. He then entered a separate room and took out a spirit herb.
Previously, the Octagonal Xuan Bing Grass and the Flame Peach were body-strengthening spirit herbs, which didn't have the ability to increase his soul power, improve his aptitude, or enhance his soul power.
But this new herb could increase his soul power. He had waited to absorb it until he reached level 20 and formed his second ring.
By absorbing it now, he could maximize his soul power growth.
This herb was called Ghost Orchid Fragrance Grass, the one he had chosen out of all the herbs as the most suitable for himself.
Now, he was about to absorb it!
"Let's see how much you can increase my soul power," Ye Wen said with some anticipation, before absorbing the herb.
His soul power surged again.
Level 24!
Level 25!
Level 26!
Level 27!
Level 28!
Level 29!
His soul power surged by another 6 levels!
In just one day, Ye Wen's soul power had increased by 9 levels—from level 20, after absorbing his soul ring, to absorbing the herb.
At 7 years old, he was at level 29!
"Level 29... this is really impressive," Ye Wen couldn't help but feel a little excited. Gaining 9 levels in a day was almost like cheating—who could have imagined that?
Ye Wen himself was stunned as he felt the power in his body and speculated:
"With my current level, combined with the External Spirit Bone, Golden Eagle Wings, the Killing God Domain, and my own spirit bone, I should be able to defeat a Soul King without a problem."
He couldn't help but marvel, "The speed at which humans improve their strength is really incredible. Since I transformed into a human and came to the human world, it's only been a year, and I've reached this level."
"It would take a soul beast almost a thousand years to reach this level of power, right?"
"Humans are truly favored by the heavens. Maybe if I continue cultivating in human form, I could reach the strength of my Deep Sea Demon Whale King body in less than a hundred years."
A hundred years was just a concept—it might even be faster.
He knew that Tang San and his group, as well as people like Qian Renxue, who underwent divine level assessments, became gods in their twenties or thirties.
But the difference was that he didn't have a divine assessment. Without it, it would be almost impossible to reach level 99 before the age of thirty.
"Now, with my second soul skill, the Deep Sea Magic Hammer, the hammer is my strongest weapon."
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Ye Wen swung the Deep Sea Magic Hammer a couple of times. Even though he was only 7 years old, his hammer skills seemed to have reached their peak. He wielded the hammer with precision, as though it was part of his body.
This undoubtedly enhanced his strength even further.
"Right, with the human body, maybe I can also unleash the hammer techniques and ultimate skills that my Deep Sea Demon Whale King body developed!" Ye Wen suddenly thought, his eyes lighting up.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was a top-tier expert with a hammer. It had its own set of hammer techniques and three ultimate hammer moves.
Thunder Hammer Technique!
And the two ultimate techniques, the Eight-Edge Overlord Hammer, and the Deep Sea Magic Dragon Hammer, which he hadn't used yet.
The Thunder Hammer Technique was used when fighting the Killing God King.
It seemed to be a chaotic attack, but in reality, each swing of the hammer left invisible lightning energy lingering in the air.
Using the residual lightning energy, he could weave a thunderstorm net. Once the net formed, the enemy couldn't escape. If they tried, they would be struck by the lightning.
In this thunderstorm net, he could instantly condense terrifying lightning power and strike the enemy with a powerful hammer.
That was the Thunder Hammer Technique.
The two ultimate skills, the Eight-Edge Overlord Hammer and the Deep Sea Magic Dragon Hammer, were both heavy-hitting techniques, true power attacks.
The Eight-Edge Overlord Hammer used special force techniques, angles, movements, release methods, and a variety of precise processes. When combined with the water and lightning attributes, as well as the soul power that was instantaneously injected into the strike, it became an overwhelming hammer technique.
