After integrating the soul bones, absorbing the sixth soul ring, and advancing to Soul Emperor:
Lin Yu's cultivation did not stop at level sixty-one.
Whether it was the pure soul power refined from the system's conversion or the boost from the three soul bones over ten thousand years old, Lin Yu's soul power immediately surged to level seventy!
However, despite reaching level seventy, Lin Yu did not plan to hunt for a seventh soul ring just yet. Although with his current strength, even without using his ultimate martial soul fusion skill, Chaos Ancestral Dragon Transformation, Lin Yu was capable of hunting a ten-thousand-year soul beast.
But a single ten-thousand-year soul beast would only provide one soul skill, the Martial Soul True Body.
Lin Yu wanted more soul skills!
While the live stream rewards could upgrade soul rings, he was unsure if upgrading a ten-thousand-year soul ring to a hundred-thousand-year one would grant two soul skills.
Currently, with his level seventy cultivation, and relying solely on the Chaos Blue Lotus and Golden Dragon Martial Souls, along with his soul bones and martial arts, Lin Yu could easily overpower a Soul Sage.
If he summoned the Golden Dragon Martial Soul, even a Soul Douluo wouldn't stand a chance.
And if he activated his trump card, the Chaos Ancestral Dragon Transformation, Lin Yu was confident he could handle a Title Douluo.
His strength should be sufficient now.
Lin Yu decided to wait for an opportunity to hunt a hundred-thousand-year sea soul beast for his seventh soul ring.
For now, he had the ten-thousand-year soul ring from Xiao Wu's mother on hand. In case of a critical situation, he could absorb that soul ring to elevate his Chaos Blue Lotus Martial Soul to the next level and break through to Soul Sage!
Perhaps it was Murphy's Law, but Lin Yu had a feeling that the remaining soul power in the system might only help him reach Soul Sage, with further advancement to Soul Douluo seeming unlikely due to the vastly increasing soul power requirements at higher levels.
...
After integrating the soul bones and absorbing the soul ring, Lin Yu was ready to use the random martial soul reward from the live stream!
Of course, for Lin Yu, it was a specific martial soul.
"System, can I get a Chaos Demon God Martial Soul? For instance: Pangu Martial Soul? Or the Time Demon God or Space Demon God would also be fine!"
In the cave, thinking about how his first choice was the Chaos Blue Lotus Martial Soul, Lin Yu rubbed his hands and addressed the system.
[Ding! The first martial soul choice of the host was the Chaos Blue Lotus Martial Soul, granted as part of the system's initial task reward. For this martial soul selection, the host can only choose a postnatal martial soul!]
The system's cold voice responded promptly.
As expected, the system wasn't going to let Lin Yu take advantage of any loopholes!
Hearing the system's response, Lin Yu felt a mix of resignation and reflection.
However, being restricted to postnatal martial souls meant he couldn't choose the Ancestral Witch Martial Soul either.
After confirming this, Lin Yu felt even more helpless.
Indeed, he couldn't outsmart the system!
Well... now that he had the Chaos Blue Lotus Martial Soul as a weapon and the Golden Dragon Martial Soul as a beast, he might as well choose a physical martial soul for the third one.
Thinking it through, Lin Yu quickly decided to choose a physical martial soul.
And for a physical martial soul, he had a fitting target in mind: the Dual Pupils Martial Soul from the Perfect World!
He didn't have any ocular techniques yet, so getting a Dual Pupils Martial Soul would be quite fitting!
"System, can I choose the Dual Pupils Martial Soul from the Perfect World for my third martial soul?"
After making up his mind, Lin Yu promptly addressed the system.
"Ding! Yes, please confirm if the host wants to proceed."
The system's cold voice rang in Lin Yu's mind.
"Confirm!"
Lin Yu nodded.
As Lin Yu spoke, a dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from the void above him.
Numerous streams of golden light poured into Lin Yu's body from the void, eventually converging in his eyes.
For a moment, Lin Yu felt a warm sensation in his eyes, accompanied by a faint itching.
When everything was over:
Lin Yu took out a mirror and activated his Dual Pupils Martial Soul.
In an instant, his eyes transformed into Dual Pupils, each featuring one large and one small pupil.
Unlike the former world's Dual Pupils, which were merely distorted pupil conditions, this was a genuine mystical world of Dual Pupils—imposing and mysterious, perfectly matching his new identity as Ye Liangchen!
Indeed, the Dual Pupils were impressive and quite stylish.
They perfectly suited his current role as Ye Liangchen!
Looking at the handsome face in the mirror, now imbued with a touch of charm and dominance from the Dual Pupils, Lin Yu nodded with satisfaction.
Next, Lin Yu tested the abilities of his Dual Pupils.
Naturally, it came with night vision and eagle eyes as standard. Bullet time was also included.
Additionally, there was the god's perspective, offering a full, unobstructed view of the surroundings.
It was quite remarkable!
However, the ability Lin Yu speculated might exist, "Phantom Breaking," had yet to be tested due to the lack of an appropriate method.
...
Inside the inner region of the Star Dou Forest, after integrating the soul bones, absorbing the soul ring, and choosing the martial soul:
Lin Yu prepared to leave.
Upon exiting the cave, Lin Yu activated the external soul bone, Wind and Thunder Wings, and soared out of the Star Dou Forest's inner area toward the outskirts.
During the flight, Lin Yu used his Dual Pupils Martial Soul to enjoy the majestic views of the Star Dou Forest below and in the distance.
Previously, while riding the Di Tian, Lin Yu had seen some of the Star Dou Forest's scenery, but many beautiful spots were missed due to the hurry.
Now, flying back himself gave him the perfect opportunity to take in the sights.
However, as Lin Yu was heading from the inner to the outer region of the Star Dou Forest:
In the outer area of the Star Dou Forest:
Accompanied and protected by Tang Hao, Master Yu Xiaogang had arrived with his disciple Tang San, filled with confidence.
Lin Yu's Wind and Thunder Wings allowed him to travel swiftly.
While appreciating the surrounding scenery through his Dual Pupils Martial Soul, Lin Yu found himself unexpectedly arriving at the outer area of the Star Dou Forest.
Scanning the area from the air with his Dual Pupils, Lin Yu suddenly spotted three very familiar figures.
He was momentarily stunned.
It was Yu Xiaogang, Tang Hao, and Tang San?!
