From Luan Yu's perspective, two soul rings wrapped around Liuxing and Liuying's bodies, gradually being absorbed by them.
During this process, Liuying's third soul ring was the first to turn black, leaving Luan Yu dumbfounded.
She had never seen anyone's soul ring undergo a change in age while being absorbed.
When Liuxing's third soul ring also turned black, Luan Yu couldn't wait any longer.
She jumped down, stepping lightly in her blue high heels, and walked slowly toward the two, carefully observing them.
Although an increase in the soul ring's age was a good thing, unusual occurrences often signified deeper issues.
She feared that something might go wrong with Liuxing and Liuying.
Observing them closely not only allowed her to monitor their condition but also enabled her to protect them if necessary.
As expected of a ten-thousand-year soul ring, even though Liuxing and Liuying had an exceptionally high soul power intensity, the vast amount of energy from the rings still allowed them to advance by two levels, reaching the rank of thirty-two.
This made the two of them inwardly delighted.
With their current cultivation speed slowed down by the inherent restrictions of their martial souls, these two levels would have taken at least half a year to a full year of arduous training to achieve.
Even with their double cultivation speed, it only barely compensated for the drawbacks of their Ultimate Martial Souls.
If it were other Ultimate-attribute soul masters, gaining two levels in a year would already be considered a great achievement.
For most innate full soul power soul masters, advancing three levels per year during the Soul Elder stage was the norm, excluding extraordinary geniuses or those with special circumstances, of course.
Liuxing and Liuying's doubled cultivation speed barely made up for the training limitations that came with Ultimate Martial Souls.
As the two of them opened their eyes, they stood up and patted the dust off their clothes.
They knew Luan Yu must have many questions waiting for them to answer.
"You two, what exactly is going on?"
As expected, the moment they finished absorbing the soul rings, Luan Yu, full of curiosity, asked them directly.
Liuxing rubbed the tip of his nose and replied, "Apologies, Aunt Yu. We didn't tell you before, but when Liuying and I absorb soul rings, we share a portion of our soul power with each other, which enhances the age of our soul rings."
"You mean... your soul rings are stacking? Did the ages of your first two soul rings also increase?"
Luan Yu frowned. She had never heard of such a phenomenon before.
"Could this be… your Ultimate Talent?"
A flash of realization appeared in Luan Yu's mind as she excitedly speculated.
Ever since learning that Liuxing and Liuying possessed Ultimate Martial Souls, she had deliberately gathered information about them.
Among the information she found was the concept of "Ultimate Talent"—a unique ability exclusive to Ultimate Martial Soul wielders.
These talents were diverse and unpredictable, yet they were always closely tied to the wielder's martial soul.
"That's right! This is very likely your Ultimate Talent. I originally thought you hadn't awakened a talent, but now it seems you were born with it. You two must have kept it a secret from me because it's too unbelievable!"
Luan Yu clenched her fist and lightly smacked her other palm, showing a look of sudden realization.
Liuxing and Liuying exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat strange.
They knew very well what their actual Ultimate Talent was, and it definitely wasn't this.
But since Luan Yu had come to her own conclusion, there was no need for them to correct her.
After all, the truth involved the Goddess of Life and the Life Sharing Ritual, which was too bizarre to explain. It was best not to let Luan Yu know for now.
If she wanted to believe it was an Ultimate Talent, then so be it.
Who said they could only have one Ultimate Talent? Why couldn't they have multiple?
Since Luan Yu had drawn her own conclusion, the two tacitly chose not to refute her, quickly moving on from the topic.
At that moment, Liuxing's expression suddenly changed as a wave of dizziness struck him.
He felt as if his consciousness was passing through layers of mist, arriving at a vast ocean.
It was an ocean of green, with crimson magma flowing beneath its surface.
The sky above was shrouded in gray mist, turning the heavens a dull white-gray.
At the center of this ocean, a glowing sphere floated in mid-air, radiating a mysterious energy.
"This is… my spiritual space?"
Looking at the scene that felt both strange and familiar, Liuxing appeared puzzled.
He recognized this as his own spiritual space, where the starlight that had followed him since arriving in this world had always resided in a dormant state.
As someone without a spiritual-type martial soul, Liuxing had always found it difficult to enter his own spiritual space.
This was the first time he had ever managed to do so.
In contrast, he had entered Liuying's spiritual space before.
Just then, the starlight, the entity that had brought him and Liuying into this universe, pulsated. A message was transmitted directly into his mind.
As Liuxing received the message, his expression grew strange.
He opened his mouth as if to speak, but in the next instant, he disappeared from his spiritual space.
Only the starlight remained, continuing to float in the center of the space, pulsing mysteriously as if it were drawing something toward it.
"Liuxing, what's wrong?"
Noticing his brief moment of absentmindedness, Liuying asked with concern.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just remembered something. I'll tell you when we get back."
Liuxing shook his head, his expression unreadable.
Although only a brief moment had passed in his spiritual space, the message he had received had stirred up a storm within him.
He had the distinct feeling that the starlight had caused trouble, big trouble.
This was something no one could know about, not even Luan Yu. Only Liuying could be trusted with this secret.
"Alright."
Liuying nodded obediently. She could tell that something was off with Liuxing, but since he wasn't saying anything for now, she decided not to press the issue.
Luan Yu rolled her eyes. "What's with the secrecy? You think I wouldn't understand?"
Oh well, young people always have their little secrets.
Now that they had obtained their third soul rings, there was no need to stay in the Jingyang Mountain Range any longer.
Without needing to use a soul tool to search for soul beasts, their journey back was several times faster than their journey in.
Once they were outside the mountain range, Luan Yu finally asked, "What are your third soul skills? A ten-thousand-year soul skill must be incredibly strong, right?"
Liuxing had never been one to hide his soul skills. "Our third soul skill is called Complete Burn. It allows us to burn our soul power, pushing our martial souls into an explosive mode, enhancing all attributes and every soul skill. It even allows us to cast soul skills instantly. Even auxiliary soul skills receive a boost."
"Oh? It even strengthens auxiliary soul skills? What kind of ridiculous soul skill is this?!"
Luan Yu stumbled mid-air, nearly falling from the sky.
This skill was absurd!
If it could amplify auxiliary soul skills, then Liuxing and Liuying's first two support-type soul skills would have their effects doubled!
This Complete Burn skill… wasn't it practically a weaker version of Martial Soul True Body?
And if this skill could also enhance Martial Soul True Body, then when Liuxing and Liuying reached the Soul Sage rank… their combat power would be terrifyingly monstrous!
