"Reward: Martial Soul perfected into Blood Crystal Dragonscale Grass, all current Soul Rings upgraded to 100,000 years, Eight Extraordinary Meridians unblocked."
Golden light descended once more. In the Sunset Forest, Tang Ya, having received the reward, involuntarily released her Martial Soul. A Blood Crystal Dragonscale Grass, about the width of two fingers, spiraled and grew in her palm. Following this, four Soul Rings, two yellow, one purple, and one black, floated up from beneath her feet.
The four Soul Rings began to change at a visible speed. First, the front two yellow rings turned purple, then the third purple Soul Ring turned black, and then the first two purple Soul Rings followed suit, turning black.
After a moment, a faint red appeared on the fourth Soul Ring. This red deepened rapidly, transitioning from light red to blood red in the blink of an eye. The remaining three Soul Rings followed the same process.
Soon after, four shocking, blood-red Soul Rings floated around Tang Ya's body.
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched at the sight. How is anyone supposed to compete with this? Not to mention anything else, but with this Soul Ring configuration, if Tang Ya dared to reveal it outside, it would be a guaranteed death sentence, with people trying to kill her and take her Soul Bones.
Even if Tang Ya didn't have any Soul Bones, those major families, sects, and nobles would be very happy to eliminate such a genius.
Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly. He hadn't considered this carefully enough. If he had known, he would have waited to let Tang Ya consume the Celestial Herb. He always felt that being involved with the God Rankings wasn't a good thing.
Just a Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, and it made a weak support-type Martial Soul into something amazing.
Suddenly, Huo Yuhao looked up sharply at Tang Ya, or rather, at the Blood Crystal Dragonscale Grass in Tang Ya's hand.
The changes weren't very obvious at first glance. Compared to the Blood Crystal Blue Silver Grass, the leaves of the Blood Crystal Dragonscale Grass now had some subtle patterns. These patterns combined to look like the scales of some animal.
But that wasn't the main point. The main point was that Huo Yuhao felt immense pressure from the Blood Crystal Dragonscale Grass. His Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul was trembling.
Could it be... really related to dragons? Huo Yuhao couldn't help but imagine. He knew that his Martial Soul wasn't an ordinary Ice Jade Scorpion, but the Ice Emperor, the queen of the Ice Jade Scorpions, whose cultivation was close to 400,000 years.
Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, blood dragon, Dragonscale Grass... Huo Yuhao already had a guess in his mind.
The Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was very weak, extremely weak, but because of this, it was also very easy to change. Its plasticity was extremely strong, which was especially obvious in terms of Soul Rings. For example, Tang Ya, whose first Soul Ring came from a Snake Soul Beast, had the basic ability of the snake: entanglement.
The second Soul Ring hunted from the Ghost Vine provided the innate skill, Parasite. The third Soul Ring, taken from a Human-faced Demon Spider, gave the Spider Web Bind, a skill essential for Snake Soul Beasts.
From this, it's clear that the Blue Silver Grass, despite being a weak Martial Soul, has incredible adaptability. Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters can choose their training path. For control-type attacks, they might choose Soul Beasts like the Entangling Vine or Spider Web Bind. For Agile Attack, they might choose agile Soul Beasts like leopards. For Power Attack, they could select Soul Beasts like bears or giant apes, which are strong in terms of power.
Regardless of which Soul Beast's Soul Ring is absorbed, the resulting Soul Skills are generally the innate abilities of the chosen Soul Beast. Because of this, the development potential of the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is vast. However, due to the weakness of the Martial Soul itself, the Soul Skills are also affected, and their overall strength tends to be somewhat lacking.
This is the experience accumulated over countless years. The strength of the Martial Soul influences the generated Soul Skills. A weak Martial Soul produces Soul Skills that are biased towards the Soul Beast's abilities, as Tang Ya demonstrated. Conversely, the stronger the Martial Soul, the more the Soul Skills align with the Martial Soul itself, making the resulting skills more suitable for the user.
The most typical example is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. For Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Masters, choosing Soul Skills is very simple. If they want skills that enhance power, they choose Soul Beasts good at strength. If they want to enhance speed, they choose agile Soul Beasts.
The most unreasonable Martial Soul is Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia. No matter which Soul Beast is chosen, it always transforms into healing Soul Skills, making it the rogue of Martial Souls.
In summary, Huo Yuhao concluded that Tang Ya's Martial Soul might indeed have some connection to dragons, due to the Blood Crystal Dragonscale Grass, the God's Gift Reward, and the resulting activation of certain dragon characteristics. It sounded rather incredible, but the fact that it could suppress Huo Yuhao's Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul was enough to prove everything.
At this moment, Tang Ya's shout interrupted Huo Yuhao's thoughts.
"Ah!" Her voice was full of joy, as if she were releasing pent-up comfort.
Huo Yuhao's expression was a sight to behold. "Who taught you to call me that? Say it again, let me hear it."
Tang Ya lifted her eyelids slightly, feeling the lightness coursing through her body. She could hardly believe this was actually her own form. Just moments ago, under the divine light's cleansing, her body had undergone a complete transformation. It was no exaggeration to say she had been reborn. All the hidden meridians within her were now open, which was what the God's Gift Reward referred to as the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
The Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record clearly stated that with the opening of any one of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, the Mysterious Heaven Skill would greatly benefit. The Mysterious Heaven Skill was divided into nine levels, corresponding to the Soul Master's levels up to Title Douluo. One of the criteria for achieving mastery of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, besides reaching the eighth level, was to open all the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
Each of these Eight Extraordinary Meridians corresponded to important areas within the human body. Though they were naturally connected from birth, the connection was subtle, and Soul Power couldn't pass through. The Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Skill was created to open these meridians.
The Mysterious Heaven Skill recorded that those who could open the Eight Extraordinary Meridians were capable of anything, even ascending to the heavens and descending to the earth. Of course, that was an exaggeration. At least Tang Ya knew that she didn't have the ability to do that just yet.
Although it didn't allow Tang Ya to ascend to heaven in a single step, it did open a path to the heavens for her. The complete opening of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians meant that she would face no bottlenecks in her future cultivation to Title Douluo. Moreover, the benefits didn't stop there. As her meridians expanded, Tang Ya could feel the unobstructed flow of Soul Power within her body, something she wouldn't have dared to imagine before.
Thanks to this, from today onward, Tang Ya's cultivation speed would definitely not be weaker than those geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power of level twenty. As for those with Innate Full Soul Power of level ten, Tang Ya didn't even consider them a threat. In short, they were all "little brothers" to her.
After sorting out everything, Tang Ya finally had time to focus on other matters. Looking at Huo Yuhao, the gratitude in Tang Ya's eyes was overflowing. She understood that everything she had now was thanks to the boy in front of her. Without him giving her the Celestial Herb, her Martial Soul wouldn't have evolved, and it would have been impossible for her to be chosen by the God's List.
Gently stepping forward and opening her arms, Tang Ya wanted to give Huo Yuhao a big hug. However, before she could, a hand landed on her smooth forehead.
"Alright, Little Ya, let's keep watching the God's List."
Tang Ya reluctantly retracted her hands, a hint of disappointment flashing in the depths of her eyes. But she didn't insist and continued to focus on the God's List with Huo Yuhao.
