(Xiao Pujie hopes that the bloggers can help promote this book; I am deeply grateful!)

One strike of the staff, and a five‑thousand‑year Dragon‑Pattern Tiger just went off to the Blissful Realm.

Li Fei retracted the Azure Dragon Staff, and a black soul ring condensed on the Dragon‑Pattern Tiger's body.

Li Yunsong walked over, sat cross‑legged, drew the soul ring into his body, and began to absorb and refine it.

The other three stood guard beside them.

In the eyes of the three, Li Yunsong's body gradually swelled, his skin flushed red, his capillaries opened wide, steam rose, and sweat poured from his whole body, making him look very uncomfortable.

At that moment, the blue veins beneath his skin also bulged out.

"After all, this is a fifty‑thousand‑year soul ring; won't there be any problems?" Zhao Wujie said with some concern.

After all, his and Flandre's seventh soul rings are only around forty thousand years.

Li Yunsong directly absorbed a soul ring with the maximum limit of fifty thousand years, which an ordinary person could not withstand.

"It should be fine; this reaction is normal, just get through it." Flandre broke into a sweat, saying.

He turned his gaze to Li Fei, unexpectedly discovering that this kid was unusually calm, showing no sign of worry at all.

Because Li Fei knew that Li Yunsong had absorbed a lot of whale gelatin, and also had his own heart's blood helping to strengthen his physique, absorbing a fifty‑thousand‑year soul ring would definitely cause no problems.

He just didn't know whether the Dragon‑Pattern Tiger would produce any spiritual resentment.

Suddenly, he felt that the dragon pattern in Li Yunsong's Dragon‑Pattern Staff was undergoing an anomaly, emitting a faint blue light that resonated with the bloodline within his body.

As time passed, to the eye, Li Yunsong's Dragon‑Pattern Staff was undergoing a visible mutation; perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it an evolution.

Any martial soul stained with the blood of the Azure Dragon of the East will undergo elevation.

Perhaps it wasn't so obvious before, but now, with the absorption of the seventh soul ring, the ability of the martial soul's true form has been unlocked, thus completely letting Li Yunsong's Dragon‑Pattern Staff complete its first evolution! A mighty dragon roar rang out, and dragon might spread.

The dragon patterns on the Dragon‑Pattern Staff have turned azure, though they are not those of the Azure Dragon of the East, they are tens of times stronger than the common dragon patterns! It is an azure dragon, but not the Azure Dragon of the East.

You can also understand this as the first batch of dragon‑pattern bloodline descendants of the Azure Dragon of the East.

Even if it is merely a bloodline descendant's dragon pattern, its might is incomparable to before, and its potential is terrifying.

It can also be called the Little Azure Dragon Pattern, Little Azure Dragon Staff! Now this staff's grade has surpassed the Coiling Dragon Staff, becoming imbued with a hint of divinity, and can be considered a demigod‑level martial soul!

After the second evolution, it will surely reach god‑level, even surpassing to super‑god level!

Let's wait and see!

"Has Old Li's martial soul mutated?" Flandre and Zhao Wujie also noticed this, their faces showing shock and astonishment, Ya Ma stood dumbfounded.

"Can the Dragon‑Pattern Staff still evolve?"

"Moreover, why does its aura resemble Xiao Fei's Dragon‑Pattern Staff so much, both being azure, yet it still seems considerably inferior to Xiao Fei's."

Flandre adjusted his glasses, widened his eyes, and murmured.

"Perhaps we have all underestimated the Dragon‑Pattern Staff; martial souls are myriad, and no one has ever cultivated a Dragon‑Pattern Staff to the Soul Sage level before, nor noticed this difference. Now there is one, and we can consider ourselves the first witnesses."

Zhao Wujie sighed.

Li Fei explained: "Your guess is not wrong; it can be understood that my martial soul is an innate mutation, while my grandfather's martial soul is an acquired mutation brought about by external influences."

"My friend has done special research on martial souls; perhaps he would be interested in studying yours. Would you like to let him study your martial souls?"

Flandre looked at Li Fei and said.

Li Fei frowned and said: "Please keep this matter confidential, don't speak of it externally; let things take their natural course. Our martial souls have their own special qualities, and we won't let outsiders study them." Flandre could see that Li Fei seemed to dislike Yu Xiaogang, and didn't bring it up further; moreover, this time he was going to Tian Dou City to dig that guy's wall corner, and after they meet in the future, there will only be awkwardness between them.

Li Fei said: "Uncle Flandre, Yu Xiaogang is ultimately an outsider; we are our own people. I don't want our success to be freely enjoyed by him if he ever comes in the future."

"Ah, I understand, Xiao Fei." Flandre sighed and nodded.

Now he and Yu Xiaogang are completely not on the same path.

Even if he still harbors a slight lingering affection for the past, that's all it is.

During this time, Li Fei has been deliberately focusing on Yu Xiaogang's affairs to brainwash Flandre, hoping to make him develop aversion toward Yu Xiaogang, the good‑for‑nothing, so that later, if they have anything, they won't just hand it all over to him.

As a transmigrator, Li Fei truly dislikes Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.

These two are really disgusting.

Buzz! At that moment, a powerful soul power fluctuation appeared on Li Yunsong's body.

A thick‑colored black ten‑thousand‑year soul ring appeared on his body.

Immediately afterward, the six soul rings below also appeared.

Yellow, purple, purple, purple, black, black, black! Upon closer inspection, the colors of his soul rings startled Flandre and Zhao Wujie.

They remembered that Li Yunsong's first soul ring was white, not even a hundred years, and his second was yellow; but now the first has become yellow, the second purple, while the third and fourth have turned especially dark! The three black ten‑thousand‑year soul rings at the back are the same! This also shows that the martial soul's mutation has also raised the years of the soul rings! Now Li Yunsong, among seven‑ring Soul Sages, ranks among the top.

With such a mighty Dragon‑Pattern Staff, even if he encountered a Soul Douluo, he would not be powerless to fight! As for this change, Li Fei showed a calm expression.

It seems that whatever happens is within his expectations.

"Congratulations, Grandfather, you have truly become a Soul Sage!"

"I don't know what level your soul power has reached now."

Li Fei stepped forward to congratulate.

"Congratulations, Old Li!"

"Our side's lineup now has one more Soul Sage, with strength and status greatly enhanced!"

"Haha, now our Shrek Academy has three Soul Saints! How joyous and congratulatory!"

Flandre and Zhao Wujie also hurried forward, laughing heartily.

"After absorbing this fifty‑thousand‑year soul ring, my soul power has risen to level seventy‑three!"

Li Yunsong carefully sensed the soul power fluctuation on his body, showing a look of delight.

Flandre and Zhao Wujie also carefully sensed it, and showed a look of surprise: "It really is level seventy‑three!"

Ordinary people who absorb a seventh soul ring usually only increase by one level, that is, to level seventy‑one.

And those who are more formidable are also only a small fraction that can reach level seventy-two.

But unexpectedly, this time Li Yunsong directly rose three levels, reaching level seventy-three!

This has reduced a year or two of bitter cultivation!

You should know, after reaching Soul Saint, each level increase is extremely difficult! (End of chapter)
