Chapter 7: Beast Soul Upgrade

  "Secondary Beast Soul? That's strange. How did my beast soul get upgraded by a whole level!"

  Yi Chen woke up from his coma and sat on the ground next to the corpse of Difei Bao, his face filled with shock and uncertainty.

  He didn't know how long he had been unconscious, and when he came to, he began to examine the injuries on his body. To his surprise, the wounds he had sustained earlier had healed strangely, and his entire body was filled with explosive power.

  Especially when he checked the beast soul in his dantian, he found that his original first-level beast soul had increased in size and upgraded to a second-level beast soul.

  "Could it be that I just absorbed the beast soul of the Gale Leopard, causing my own beast soul to level up?" The events before he fainted hadn't been forgotten by Yi Chen, and now he began to suspect.

  "Could it be that my beast soul can level up by devouring other beast souls?"

  The more I think about Yi Chen, the more certain I am. From the initial inheritance of the beast soul of the Devouring Beast to the current inheritance of the beast soul of the Swift Wind Leopard, all signs indicate that the beast soul in Yi Chen's dantian is not simple.

  "If that's really the case, then wouldn't it be possible to bring the beast soul to its highest level through continuous devouring?" His face filled with excitement, Yi Chen couldn't help but feel his heart racing.

  A cultivator can only accept the beast soul inheritance once in their lifetime, which also means that the level of the beast soul will never change. However, Yi Chen's beast soul can devour and upgrade, even reaching the highest level of a 9th-grade beast soul.

  "It seems that what I accepted at the beginning was not a waste beast soul, but a beast soul that can swallow and upgrade!" Yi Chen couldn't believe it, happiness came so suddenly.

  The higher the level of the beast soul, the faster the cultivation speed. The reason why Yi Chen's cultivation speed can't keep up is because the grade of his beast soul is too low. And if the beast soul can be upgraded, Yi Chen will eventually catch up with others.

  And after advancing, the beast soul can hold twice as much soul power as a first-level beast soul!

  After being excited for a while, Yi Chen slowly calmed down, and the wild joy on his face turned into solemnity.

  Having come to the Longyuan continent for so long, Yi Chen had never heard of a beast soul that could be upgraded. This kind of heaven-defying thing was a double-edged sword for him, and if he wasn't careful, it would bring about his own demise.

  Because Yicheng had heard that some cultivators possessed special secret techniques, they could extract the beast soul of others, so Yicheng would guard the secret of upgrading his beast soul at all costs.

  "This heavenly book is not simple and cannot be known by anyone." Yi Chen reached into his pocket, took out the heavenly book that had just saved his life, and said with great solemnity.

  "There are even more powerful demons in the Auspicious Forest, it's better to leave quickly." A chill wind blew over, and Yi Chen shivered, quickly putting away the Heavenly Book and standing up.

  Just now encountered a second-level demon beast, almost took the life of Yi Chen, he looked at the cold corpse of the swift leopard and kicked it with great dissatisfaction.

  "Almost took the life of a young master, tonight we'll have a roasted whole leopard!"

  With a heavy heart, Yi Chen reached out and grabbed the thick front leg of the Difei Bao, cautiously looking around before dragging the body away.

  The Ausi Forest is not far from the horse farm, and soon Yi Chen returned to the campsite, which was still as quiet as before. As he passed by the house where Yin Wei was in, Yi Chen's body couldn't help but pause for a moment.

  That Yin Wei has been in seclusion for seven days. If it weren't for his orders, Yi Chen would have rushed in to take a look long ago, wanting to confirm whether he would die inside or not.

  "It's a good thing those five men in black didn't come to investigate, otherwise they would have encountered no small trouble." Muttering to himself, Yi Chen shook his head and led the Wind Leopard towards his own room.

  If it weren't for Yin Wei's incomplete soul technique, Yi Chen wouldn't have discovered the secret of the Heavenly Book, so to say, Yi Chen still has to thank Yin Wei, so letting him stay here for a while longer isn't a problem.

  Arriving at his residence, Yi Chen threw the Wind Leopard outside the door, while he himself pushed open the door and entered the room. After closing the door behind him, he sat cross-legged on the bed.

  "I don't know what realm Yi Jie has cultivated to." With a light sigh, Yi Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. He would never forget the scene where he was swept out like a stray dog.

  "We'll see about that. If I don't beat you into a pig's head, my surname isn't Yi." His face set in determination, Yi Chen clenched his fists.

  With the mysterious Heavenly Book and the upgradable Beast Soul, Yi Chen has the confidence to surpass others, especially that Yi Jie who framed him, Yi Chen must get justice back.

  However, when Yi Chen left the Yi family at first, Yi Jie was already in the middle stage of the Yin Soul Realm, so Yi Chen still needed to work twice as hard.

  "A second-level beast soul, cultivating at a speed twice as fast as a first-level beast soul. We can't afford to waste time."

  Yi Chen looked down and saw a beast soul the size of a fist in his dantian, then reached into his pocket and pulled out a blood-red stone.

  That crimson stone was the Er Star Soul Spirit Stone that Yin Wei had given him, and Yi Chen prepared to absorb it in order to speed up his cultivation.

  Carefully placing the Soul Stone in front of him, Yi Chen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and began to operate the Soul Controlling Technique after dispelling the distracting thoughts in his mind.

  "Hiss." A white energy emanated from Yi Chen's dantian, rapidly shooting towards the Soul Spirit Stone and enveloping the crimson-colored stone.

  The beast's soul trembled slightly, began to twist and form a whirlpool, releasing an extremely powerful suction force.

  An invisible force lifted the Soul Spirit Stone. Under its suction, a blood-red soul energy seeped out of the stone and was absorbed into Yichens body.

  That strand of soul force was extremely pure, without any impurities, and flowed smoothly through the meridians to the dantian, quickly pouring into the beast's soul. Witnessing this scene, Yi Chen's spirit lifted, and he exclaimed: "What a fine and pure soul force."

  If it is to absorb the soul power between heaven and earth, it will take a very long time to temper, requiring a great deal of energy. While directly absorbing from the Soul Spirit Stone can save a lot of effort and time.

  "The second-level beast soul directly doubled the speed of cultivation. With the addition of a two-star soul spirit stone, advancing to the Yang Soul Realm is just around the corner." The beast soul was like a whale swallowing soul power, giving Yi Chen a strong sense of confidence.

  At first, he only had a first-level beast soul and a first-level soul technique, but he was able to cultivate his cultivation to the middle stage of the Yin Soul Realm. Now that he has better techniques and higher-level beast souls, his cultivation speed is several times faster than before, and he believes that the day when he will advance to the Yang Soul Realm is not far away.

  The soul power in the beast soul grew at a visible speed, and within half a minute, Yi Chen felt that the beast soul had a feeling of fullness, which also indicated that the beast soul's capacity was about to reach its peak.

  "Having a Soul Spirit Stone makes all the difference, shortening the cultivation time by tens of times." He couldn't help but exclaim, as Yi Chen prepared to cut off the technique.

  "What's going on?" Suddenly, Yi Chen's face changed color. He found that his cultivation couldn't be stopped!

  The suction force released by the beast soul was still so strong, and the endless soul power was absorbed into the beast soul, that swelling pain became more and more intense.

  At the time of soul power upgrade, such a situation will occur, but at that time, Yi Chen didn't need to activate his soul technique.

  But now the situation is that, Yi Chen wants to stop cultivating, but the beast soul doesn't make a single move, still releasing suction power, as if being pulled by some inexplicable force and can't stop.

  "Damn it, how could this be?" Yi Chen had never encountered such a situation during his cultivation, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead at that moment.

  If it can't stop, the beast soul will eventually be burst by the continuous influx of soul power, and at that time, Yi Chen's hard-earned cultivation will be in vain.

  "Stop it for me!"

  The intense pain from the beast soul grew stronger, and Yi Chen's back shirt was already soaked with sweat. He desperately tried to control the beast soul, but all his efforts were in vain, making him even more anxious.

  The spiritual power is surging in the beast soul, and at this time, the beast soul has no extra space. It is constantly expanding and shrinking, as if it is about to burst, the situation is extremely critical.

  "This little guy is really bold, with only a Yin Soul Realm cultivation base, he actually dares to directly absorb a 2-star Soul Spirit Stone."

  A strong gust of wind flashed by, and a figure appeared in Yichens room. When he saw the danger that Yichen was facing, his face showed surprise.

  Someone broke into the room, and Yi Chen naturally caught it, but his situation was very awkward now, he felt that his dantian was about to burst. So he just took a quick glance at the person who came in and found out that it was actually the old man Yin Wei.

  "Thanks to you, I was able to recover from my injuries smoothly. Let me help you out this time, it's the least I can do to repay your kindness." With a warm smile on his face, Yin Wei strode over to Yi Chen's side.

  "What do you want to do?" Not knowing what Yin Wei was thinking, Yi Chen's nerves were tense, and he turned his head to look at Yin Wei with a vigilant gaze.

  "Don't be nervous, little guy." Ying Wei gazed at Yi Chen's tense expression with a low chuckle, then made a peculiar gesture with his hands in front of him, enveloping them in a blue soul energy.

  "Blue soul power?" Every realm, the color of the beast's soul would change, but Yi Chen had never heard of blue soul power before, which made him extremely surprised. He faintly felt that this old man in front of him was extremely powerful.

  However, the other party did not have any hostility, which made Yi Chen breathe a sigh of relief. He looked at the blue soul power between Yin Wei's hands and his eyes flashed with fervor and longing.

  "Receive." As if knowing what Yi Chen was thinking, Yin Wei smiled lightly and made a drinking sound with his mouth, his hands clasped together in a prayer-like gesture pointing at Yi Chen's dantian.

  "Hiss." The blue energy surged into Yi Chen's body, colliding with the beast soul that was swollen like a balloon.

  At that instant, the soul power contained in the beast soul began to compress continuously, with tens of thousands of soul powers being frantically squeezed together.

  Tempering, endless tempering. The soul power in the Easy Beast Soul began to gradually decrease, but the soul power became more condensed and pure.

  The beast soul was stirring like a stormy sea, and the originally swollen beast soul, which had grown to the size of a balloon, began to shrink at a visible speed. In the end, it completely returned to its original size, and the feeling of swelling pain thoroughly disappeared.

  "Hiss." However, the Beast Soul's suction force did not disappear. When it returned to its normal size, a stronger suction force suddenly came out.

  At this time, Yi Chen had successfully cut off the law, but the beast soul released an even stronger suction. However, Yi Chen was not nervous this time, and a joyful expression appeared on his face, because he had encountered such a situation twice before.

  "Unexpectedly, you little guy has turned a disaster into a blessing. Your soul power has become more refined through continuous tempering and has even touched the opportunity to advance to the next realm."

  Yin Wei, who was watching from the side, sensed the change in Yi Chen's beast soul and looked surprised.
