Purple, it was really purple. An indescribable feeling of elation instantly filled Lan Xuanyu’s heart.
He had worked and cultivated so hard, faced difficulties time and time again, thinking hard each time to find a cultivation method that was more suitable for him.
From the beginning of his cultivation, his soul power cultivation had always been much more difficult to improve than that of a normal soul master. However he did not get discouraged. He had gritted his teeth and strode forward. Finally! Finally he was three-ring !
Most importantly, this was exactly the kind of third ring he wanted.
After seeing his first ring turning yellow after breaking through the 2 ring level, he had always wondered. Would his soul rings all turn purple directly after reaching three-ring?
He had never merged a spirit soul, that Golden Silk Demon Ape was not a spirit soul at all, it was even he who had brought it out of the virtual world. Nevertheless, his soul rings continued to appear on their own, along with the improvement of his cultivation.
Just now, he had really felt a little panicked. When Liu Feng and Qian Lei broke through to three-ring, they had never talked about whatsoever difficulty, let alone some kinds of insurmountable barriers. However, it was in the case for him during his breakthrough process.
He was really afraid that he would not be able to cross this barrier, and that his cultivation would always stay in the two-ring realm. If that was the case, what good would it do to have a strong life affinity, a strong bloodline ?
He had finally broken through ! Perhaps its difficulty was because of his soul ring appearing on its own. Moreover, more importantly, his first two soul rings had also evolved along with the third ring!
This feeling was the most marvelous thing. The evolution of his soul rings meant that his cultivation would also evolve along with it. His first soul skill was Water Element, and his second Fire Element. He estimated that he had reached a considerable degree of control over these two elements. However, because the soul rings themselves were not in a sufficiently high realm, coupled with his weak soul power cultivation base, it wasn’t that useful in Shrek.
But it was different now! Even in Shrek Academy, most people’s cultivation was at three-ring and four-ring. All rings being purple was the most common situation among the students. In other words, in terms of pure cultivation level he had already caught up to some, and there was no longer a huge gap like before.
In this way, coupled with his Twin Martial Soul and Dragon God bloodline, he was finally qualified to say that he could be counted as strong in his class.
Who was willing to rely on his brain if one could simply rely on strength! Lan Xuanyu also wanted to be reckless when facing difficulties, but he didn’t have a high enough cultivation level before, he had no other choice !
It was different now, really different. He had three rings, three thousand-year soul rings, and every soul skill was at the thousand-year level. This meant that the number of skills he could use had increased, by a lot. Three rings!
So, what was his third soul skill ?
Thinking of this, Lan Xuanyu’s eyes lit up.
At the beginning, Ji Hongbin pointed out that if he could control multiple elements, then the biggest improvement would come from fusing multiple elements, thus fusing his soul skills. He had already deeply felt the explosive might from the fusion of ice and fire. Although it was small in size, its power was comparable to a thousand-year soul skill.
Would his third soul ability allow him the control of another element?
Thinking of this, Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath, and regardless of his bloodline’s current poor state, he concentrated on urging his soul power to release his third soul skill.
At the moment when he released his third soul skill, he suddenly felt his body lighten, and then, there seemed to be countless air currents around him. In other words, he was more sensitive to the airflow around his body.
The third purple soul ring lined up on his body was shining, emitting a soft halo, but what Lan Xuanyu saw was a light blue world.
There were tiny elements smaller than fire and water elements, but they were also much more active. They flew horizontally in the air, exuding a carefree aura a feeling of freedom.
This was……
Wind Element!
Lan Xuanyu suddenly understood what his third soul skill was. After Fire and Water Elements, his third soul skill was Wind Element.
Wind Element, thousand-year soul skill.
He slowly raised his left hand, mentally connecting with the wind elements. Suddenly, those free and energetic wind elements condensed towards his palm, and gathered into a small whirlwind on his palm, constantly twirling and dancing.
While controlling the wind, Lan Xuanyu also clearly felt that he had become more sensitive towards the elements.
From two-ring to three-ring, not only was there one more soul ring, the other two had also made a qualitative leap.
He suddenly realized something. His cultivation was indeed a bit more difficult than others, especially in terms of soul power. However, once he had a breakthrough, his improvement would also be much greater than others.
It was not too obvious from one-ring to two-ring, after all, it was just an improvement from a ten-years soul ring to a hundred-year soul ring. However, from two-ring to three-ring, it felt particularly more obvious. Because he also found that his spiritual power seemed to have improved a lot along with his soul power. This was what three purple thousand-year soul rings brought to him.
Thinking of this, Lan Xuanyu felt an eager sense of anticipation in his heart. Then, what about four-ring ? If he reached four-ring, what would his soul rings look like?
Would they be black?
One had to know, the reason why Lan Mengqin was able to rival Yuanen Huihui in terms of overall strength while being four-ring, was because her second Martial Soul’s soul rings were all at the ten-thousand-year level ! Four black ten-thousand-year soul rings, if he was four-ring, could he also reach that level ?
If his fourth ring was a ten-thousand-year, then what about his fifth ? Didn’t that mean that at five-ring, he would have five hundred-thousand-year soul rings?
Thinking of this, Lan Xuanyu’s breathing became a little rugged. This was unimaginable, but if that dream came true, how strong would his future self be?
He didn’t even dare to think. However, the bottleneck encountered during this breakthrough made him vaguely guess that the next time he would try to break through, the bottleneck would be even more difficult. Even if at four-ring he could possess four black ten-thousand-year soul rings, his breakthrough would also be that much more difficult.
If it weren’t for the dragon scale, he didn’t know how much effort it would have taken to complete his breakthrough.
But in the end, he had finally made it ! He had finally become a three-ring soul master, and he had the control of three elements. It seemed that now not only was it necessary to cultivate soul power, but he also had to spare some time to practice his control over the elements.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help frowning slightly. There really wasn’t enough time !
At Shrek Academy, there were so many things to learn.
Battle armor manufacturing, mecha piloting classes were about to start, and he also had to cultivate soul power, practice his soul skills, cooperation with his partners, as well as his second profession forging and interstellar fighter piloting at the Interstellar Command Department.
The soul masters who had chosen the double armor cursus did not have to learn piloting at least. The number of things he had to do was simply unimaginable.
Although coming to Shrek Academy had allowed him to greatly improve during this period of time, the more it was like this, the more he felt that there was not enough time.
Not only him, but almost all Shrek Academy students had this though, because the opportunities here were so good, so everyone was even more reluctant to give up on any of them.
Lan Xuanyu felt that he needed to plan his cultivation time well, he could no longer cultivate like this whenever he wanted. Otherwise, irregular practice would make his life chaotic and reduce efficiency.
