Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 25 Clear Heart
Name: Lin Xingyu
Age: nine years old

Martial Soul: Red Gold (Second Awakening 95.36%)

Soul Power: Level 28 96%
Mental strength: 1,397
Martial Arts: Blood transfusion (4th blood transfusion 53%)

The improvement in soul power during this deep meditation was limited, but the second awakening of mental power and martial soul made significant progress.

Lin Xingyu's martial soul's second awakening progress has reached 96%, and Lin Xingyu has a premonition that this second awakening of his martial soul will definitely not be an ordinary second awakening.

The change in the martial soul this time was not like the deep awakening of the gold and silver levels of the Body Sect. Instead, it was more like the martial soul skipping the intermediate links and directly transforming and evolving, leaping to a superior martial soul.

Lin Xingyu gained a lot from this deep meditation, the greatest achievement being a profound understanding of his own martial spirit. As the saying goes, the martial spirit has a profound influence on a person, from the mind to the body, and then to the soul.

It is said that the higher the degree of compatibility between a soul master and his martial soul, the more fully he can display the power of his martial soul, and the more significant the improvement in his own cultivation speed will be.

Lin Xingyu wholeheartedly agreed with this view. Looking back on his past cultivation, he had always been accustomed to using his "high-dimensional vision" to examine his martial spirit in a direct and efficient way.

With this unique ability, he was indeed able to skillfully use the power granted by his martial soul and make certain progress on the path of cultivation.

However, while this method allowed him to quickly master the art of wielding power, it also caused him to neglect the importance of a deep connection with his martial spirit. He didn't truly invest the effort to gain a deeper understanding of his martial spirit, to recognize its essence, characteristics, and its inherent connection with himself.

In his opinion, the martial soul seemed to be just a tool that could be used, rather than a part closely connected with his own soul.

After all, on the road of cultivation that is full of difficulties and obstacles, the emergence of a shortcut that is both harmless and can quickly improve strength is undoubtedly a huge temptation for any practitioner.

Faced with such temptation, who would willingly give up this shortcut and instead honestly adopt those seemingly clumsy, time-consuming and laborious conventional methods? Lin Xingyu was no exception, choosing this seemingly easy shortcut, but he never expected that this, to a certain extent, also made him ignore the deeper mysteries of the martial spirit.

This time, Lin Xingyu no longer avoided the issue, but faced his inner thoughts with candor. He engaged in a deep dialogue with his spirit, ultimately achieving resonance between the two. In his past cultivation, he had tended to maintain a high-level perspective. While this had yielded some insights, he had neglected a deep connection with his spirit. Now, by addressing this gap, he had achieved this tremendous boon. This final, crucial step in self-development could only be achieved through personal effort.

In terms of mental strength, the improvement was truly remarkable. Through this deep meditation, Lin Xingyu finally understood that he was the same person, past or present.

Now that he had been reborn in Douluo Continent, he should focus on the present moment and discard all distractions. At the same time, he gained a profound understanding of the aura emanating from his own martial spirit: the so-called fusion actually stemmed from his own mind.

Leveraging this profound resonance with his martial spirit, Lin Xingyu's spiritual power achieved a qualitative leap, breaking through to the Spiritual Sea Realm in one fell swoop, with his stats soaring to nearly 1,400, putting him just one step away from the mid-stage Spiritual Sea Realm. It's worth noting that he had previously been stuck at the peak of the Spiritual Communication Realm for nearly six months, and this time, his spiritual power had more than doubled.

This time of deep meditation gave Lin Xingyu a profound understanding of the soul master's cultivation path. The martial soul is the foundation of the soul master!
Developing the martial spirit in accordance with its purpose is what a soul master should do most!

The martial arts blood transfusion and the improvement in soul power are not worth mentioning.

After reviewing his own condition, Lin Xingyu thought of Tang Wulin again. He was probably in the process of unlocking the first seal of the Golden Dragon King on his body at this moment.

The dice have been cast and the wheel of fate has begun to turn.

Throughout the four Douluo Dalu series, the protagonists' cheats are increasingly powerful. It's impossible not to yearn for the Golden Dragon King's power. After all, that's a God King-level battle force, which at least grants immortality. However, at this point, there's no chance of that happening, and it's all just wishful thinking.

As he thought about it, Lin Xingyu suddenly laughed. He was really greedy. He already had a cheat, and he also embarked on the path of martial arts practice. If he could reach the realm of martial arts saint, it would not be impossible to seek immortality. But he wanted to get everything. He was not the protagonist of the world, so how could such a good thing happen to him?

Lin Xingyu shook his head. The most important thing in practicing martial arts is to have confidence. How could he lose confidence?

"I will definitely become the strongest, I will definitely become a Martial Saint! When I achieve immortality, I will naturally obtain it!"

.........

This typhoon struck with such swiftness and without warning that it seemed to descend out of nowhere, instantly disrupting the peaceful rhythm of life.

The typhoon struck with such force, leaving no one prepared. With the exception of Lin Xingyu, no one else could have predicted that the storm would last a full week. This seemingly ordinary week, however, was filled with unexpected coincidences—just enough time for Tang Wulin to unlock the Golden Dragon King's first seal, as if everything were a carefully orchestrated play by fate.

After the typhoon passed, Donghai City felt as if it had been revitalized by nature. The air was fresh and pleasant, shrouded in wisps of moisture, bringing a touch of coolness. Golden sunlight poured down, draping the city in a shimmering veil.

If you stand on a high place and look into the distance, you can occasionally catch a glimpse of the brilliant light of a rainbow appearing and disappearing on the horizon. The sky above is clear and cloudless, and it is so beautiful that it seems like a dream.

The final battle of the first grade began in the afternoon.

Regarding this match, the students and teachers who came to watch were divided into two camps. One camp believed that Class 5 of Grade 1 would be able to win the whole match, while the other camp believed that Class 1 of Grade 1 were all second-ring great soul masters, so they would definitely win easily.

As the students consciously made way for a passage, Ye Yingluo and Wu Changkong each arrived with their own students.

A young female teacher who looked to be about 23 or 24 years old came over. She was over 1.7 meters tall and was Ye Yingluo's younger sister, Ye Yingrong.

Ye Yingrong smiled and waved warmly at Ye Yingluo. Ye Yingluo nodded in response, but once her eyes met the person across from her, they were drawn to her like a magnet, unable to move away. She stared at Wu Changkong, her eyes a mixture of admiration, awe, and a hint of indescribable melancholy.

However, Wu Zhangkong seemed unaware and never even glanced in her direction. That cold disregard made Ye Yingluo feel empty inside.

This made Ye Yingluo furious.

"Xingyu, defeat them quickly!"

He nodded and said calmly: "Yes, Teacher Ye."

Dean Long Hengxu slowly walked onto the competition stage. He was feeling quite complicated. If the first-grade class continued to fight, he would be held responsible and might even lose his position. He greeted the two homeroom teachers and asked, "Teacher Wu, how many students will be appearing in your first-grade class today?"

"Our class is going to play today..."
