Su Yu wants to enter seclusion; he didn't have any tasks in these past two days' competitions, and he was quietly refining the Gold of the Living in his room alone.
Kong Deming was refining the continuously emerging Life Force, feeling uneasy.
Such an immense Life Force.
The Spirit-Eating Carving Knife hasn't failed yet!
Indeed, those who play with Life Force are enduring.
...
Three days passed quickly.
At this moment, Su Yu's Sea of Spirit had become an ocean, an endless sea of vivid green.
The grey bead that was Ellex's incarnation had disappeared, replaced by a vertical pupil emitting a faint white glow.
"Every piece of Gold of the Living signifies a world. I've used this carving knife to open a third eye for you, where my Divine Sense will reside in the future.
The Life Origin of the Gold of the Living is also sealed in the deepest part of your Sea of Spirit, supplying you with continuous Life Force to make your cultivation speed at least three times faster than before."
Su Yu listened to Elder Yi's explanation very attentively.
"The Gold of the Living has completely merged with you, so your Sea of Spirit is said to be immortal and indestructible; even if your body is severely injured, as long as your head is intact, you can rely on the Life Force of the Gold of the Living to recover." (Don't argue, original settings)
"By the way, your three runes have also absorbed the power of Gold of the Living this time, seeming to have undergone a transformation."
...
Su Yu spent a day mastering all the changes within himself.
The most direct enhancement is first the strength of my Martial Soul; Ultimate Life has advanced further, and the quality of Blue Silver Grass has broken through under the nurture of Gold of the Living.
Moreover, under the nurturing of Gold of the Living, the quality of Blue Silver Grass is continually improving."
Additionally, there's the cultivation speed.
The Life Force of Gold of the Living makes my cultivation speed three times the original.
The rune consolidation has undergone a transformation this time as well, with its auxiliary effect directly doubling.
With the accumulation, my cultivation speed is at least four times the original."
Su Yu had already solved most of the slow cultivation speed issue brought by Ultimate Life Attribute before.
In this way, Su Yu's current cultivation speed is definitely at least twice as fast as before reaching Ultimate Life Attribute!
Soul Power has also reached Level 45."
The Life Origin of Gold of the Living was fused into Su Yu's Sea of Spirit by Elder Yi, and half of the scattered Life Force was given to Kong Deming.
The remaining Life Force was primarily used to transform Su Yu's physique.
The last bit of Life Force also allowed Su Yu's Soul Power Level to rise by three levels, comparable to Immortal Grass.
One can only say that Gold of the Living is indeed a treasure representing an entire world.
According to Elder Yi, it would take the entire Xingdou Great Forest twenty thousand years to nurture a piece of Gold of the Living as large as the carving knife!
Su Yu looked at his teacher, who was still cultivating, feeling that unstable Soul Power ripple, feeling happy for his teacher.
The teacher is about to break through.
Kong Deming had been stuck at Level 94 all this time.
Even so, he still possesses the imposing power of an Extreme Douluo with the help of Soul-guiding Devices.
Now, under the infusion of Gold of the Living's Life Force, he is about to break through to Level 95.
But that's not the main point.
The main point is that Su Yu requested Elder Yi to use Gold of the Living's Life Force for purification.
Level 95 is definitely not the end.
"I wonder if the teacher can complete the breakthrough within two days."
The finals will be in two days.
"He can break through today, and should be able to stabilize his cultivation after spending another day."
Kong Deming had been stuck for a long, his accumulation is definitely sufficient, and the opportunity this time to break through to Level 95 wouldn't take too long.
Actually, Elder Yi is curious why Su Yu always felt that Shrek Academy's Xuanzi would take action...
Taotie Martial Soul, but Taotie doesn't have the trait of losing one's mind, does it?
...
Having completely mastered the changes within himself, Su Yu began to absorb the insights.
While waiting for his teacher's breakthrough, Su Yu solidified his understanding of the Second Soul Skill.
"Soul Skills are provided by Soul Rings, and can be performed once the Soul Ring is activated."
But this is just the most superficial use.
Su Yu had previously done a rough classification of Soul Skill cultivation, using the mastery of Soul Skills as the standard for division.
After absorbing the Soul Ring, one can achieve the entry-level stage.
Skilled application, precise performance based on situations, is the skilled level.
The ability to flexibly utilize and control the effects of Soul Skills is what he considered to be the perfect level.
At the perfect level, one begins to develop Soul Skills and can extend different usage methods.
All of Su Yu's Soul Skills were trained to the perfect level.
But this is clearly not the end.
"Thoroughly comprehend the essence of Soul Skills, use the Soul Ring as an opportunity, and grasp the fundamental nature of Soul Skills; even without relying on Soul Rings, you can perform Soul Skills.
This is making it your own!"
With Elder Yi's assistance, Su Yu's Second Soul Skill had clearly reached this level.
"Perhaps the next stage can be called mastery, to completely grasp the essence of Soul Skills and perform freely."
Elder Yi affirmed Su Yu's speculation.
This kind of division makes sense.
"The cultivation system of Douluo Continent is very special; absorbing Soul Rings allows mastery of corresponding Soul Skills.
However, ultimately this is external; thoroughly training Soul Skills into one's own, that's considered truly digesting the Soul Skills."
The two stages don't significantly enhance strength.
But it is a process of internalization.
"This is a more advanced foundation you need to strive to reach." Elder Yi left these words and said no more.
Su Yu repeatedly practiced the Second Soul Skill, fully mastering the operation of Life Force during the execution of Soul Skills.
...
Su Yu sensed a strong Soul Power fluctuation.
Behind Kong Deming, a silver moon emerged, shining brightly.
Soon after, a radiant sun rose, echoing with the silver moon.
"Indeed, the teacher has Twin Martial Souls."
Silver moon and sun.
Kong Deming's Soul Power fluctuated intensely.
Dramatically enhanced to the extreme, broke through constraints, the pressure from Soul Power rapidly increased.
Breakthrough successful!
With the passage of time, Kong Deming gradually restrained the pressure from his Soul Power, which also meant his cultivation had stabilized.
"Congratulations teacher on the Soul Power breakthrough."
Kong Deming opened his eyes, revealing a smile.
"This time, I really benefited from you, youngster.
By the way, what's with that Spirit-Eating Carving Knife, why is there so much Life Force?"
"Teacher, that is Gold of the Living."
"Gold of the Living!"
Seeing Kong Deming's expression, Su Yu guessed the teacher must be aware of the existence and effects of Gold of the Living.
"I purged the curse, dispelled malevolent energy, inadvertently fully merging with it."
With these words, Su Yu brushed his finger over his forehead.
A flash of azure light, and afterwards a carving knife appeared in his hand, entirely azure like crystal.
"Is this the Spirit-Eating Carving Knife?"
"Teacher, I feel that it's more suitable to call it the Blade of Living Beings now."
