Chapter 9 Nine-Hearted Begonia of Life, Bone and Flesh Grow, Breaking the Curse!
Just as he was consumed by rage, a golden pillar of light, thicker and more majestic than Dugu Yan's before, descended from the sky, instantly enveloping him!
"Boom!"
Yu Yuanzhen felt an irresistible surge of boundless energy flood his body. His level 95 soul power bottleneck was instantly shattered by this power!
Level 96!
His soul power directly increased by one level!
At the same time, the nine soul rings beneath his feet shone brightly, each ring's age increasing by a whopping six hundred years!
What shocked him even more was that he could clearly feel the lightning power contained within his martial soul becoming purer and more violent! His basic lightning attribute increased by ten percent!
This short-lived improvement directly multiplied his strength several times over!
You must know, he had been stuck at level 95 for a long time, but now, thanks to a Heavenly Dao reward, he easily broke through!
The two soul rings in front of him also turned purple, becoming even more powerful!
Moreover, his base lightning attribute increased by ten percent, and combined with his amplifying soul skill, the extra gain was far more than just ten percent!
"Hahahaha—"
"Nineteenth place! My cultivation, which has troubled me for so many years, has finally broken through!"
After his initial joy, Yu Yuanzhen became somewhat worried, sighing, "Alas, this nineteenth-place reward makes me so excited; how incredible must the first-place reward be?"
"Unfortunately, it seems the Heavenly Dao doesn't favor my martial soul."
Yu Luomian looked at Yu Yuanzhen with envy in his eyes, then said, "Brother, but your strength has indeed improved. What should we do next?"
Yu Yuanzhen said, "Have the family prepare. While we're at it, gather all the family members who are away."
"After this ranking is announced, this continent will probably be in turmoil."
The entire continent erupted in uproar the moment they saw the nineteenth place!
"What?! The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is only nineteenth?!"
"Am I seeing things? That's the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, one of the three upper sects, hailed as the number one beast spirit in the world!"
"The Azure Phosphorous Dragon Emperor is twentieth, and the continent's number one beast spirit is nineteenth? Is there something wrong with this list?"
"If even the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex can only be nineteenth, then what terrifying beings must the eighteen ranked ahead of it be?!"
Canglan Academy.
Dugu Yan said, "Teacher, this Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is only one place ahead of me, and this evaluation seems to be somewhat disrespectful to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, doesn't it?"
Lin Yuan chuckled, "That's normal. The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul is said to be the number one beast martial soul on the continent, but that's only on the surface."
"After all, there are so many soul masters on the continent, it's not surprising that some old monsters don't like to fight and hide themselves."
"Moreover, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex only has a trace of true dragon bloodline. It's just that your martial soul hasn't fully evolved yet, otherwise your Azure Phosphorous Dragon Emperor would be of even higher quality than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex."
"Think about it, if the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul is really that strong, why has the Blue Lightning family only had one old dragon, Yu Yuanzhen, after so many years?"
"This can only mean that he was lucky back then, his innate soul power was high, which is why he has the current level 95 soul power. In addition, with the dragon transformation secret technique they inherited, they became one of the three upper sects."
"Even so, the Blue Lightning Clan is only at the bottom of the top three sects. If they really fought the second-ranked Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, that old dragon might not be a match for Chen Xin."
Ning Rongrong, seeing her teacher praising their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, chuckled and came up behind Lin Yuan, gently massaging his shoulders with her small hands.
"Teacher, according to you, do my two grandfathers also have a chance to be on the list?"
Lin Yuan enjoyed Ning Rongrong's massage and smiled: "They should have a chance. If they can raise their cultivation to level 95 or 96 through their own efforts, how could their martial soul be inferior?"
"Even if your martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, if you cultivate it to level 95, then although it's still called Blue Silver Grass, its quality will be different from ordinary Blue Silver Grass."
"In fact, it has already undergone earth-shattering changes. Only ordinary people would still mock or be surprised as to why a mere Blue Silver Grass can achieve a title."
Xiao Wu blinked curiously, "Teacher, so is it really possible for Blue Silver Grass to be cultivated to a title level?"
"No," Lin Yuan replied.
The girls:
"Then why did you give that example?"
Xiao Wu pouted, venting her dissatisfaction.
The girls felt like Lin Yuan had tricked them.
"Hahaha," Lin Yuan chuckled, "This is just a rather extreme example. If you replace Blue Silver Grass with an ordinary wooden sword or iron sword, it's the same."
"I just want to tell you, don't be fooled by appearances of a martial soul, don't be deceived by preconceived notions."
"A martial soul that can be cultivated to a title level can't be weak. Even if its innate soul power is low, it has already evolved many times during its growth."
"Generally speaking, the stronger one's cultivation, the stronger one's strength. In the world of soul masters, cultivation is everything, understand?"
The girls: "Understood."
Lin Yuan didn't tell them that there really was one person who cultivated Blue Silver Grass to a title level.
That was Tang San.
But Tang San's Blue Silver Grass wasn't ordinary Blue Silver Grass; it possessed royal blood.
The example he just gave was the most common Blue Silver Grass.
In his view, this world didn't have the unstable foundation of other fantasy worlds.
So, to put it simply, with similar soul ring configurations and other factors, the higher the cultivation level, the stronger the strength.
After all, this era didn't have the concept of soul cores, and even the bloodline suppression during the Dragon King Legend era was rare.
As for Lan Xuanyu, let's not even mention him; he wasn't even considered a person.
The entire Douluo Continent was plunged into a huge uproar and shock because of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's humiliating nineteenth place.
Countless soul masters' worldviews were completely overturned on this day.
A powerful existence that had been passed down for thousands of years and was hailed as the "Number One Beast Soul in the World" could only be ranked second to last?
What kind of divine souls were ranked ahead of it?
Everyone's heart was filled with this question.
And the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking didn't make them wait too long.
Just as Yu Yuanzhen had just received the reward and was still standing there with a livid face, the golden sky in the sky shimmered once more!
Everyone's hearts leaped into their throats once more!
Who would be number eighteen?!
