Chapter 27: Lin Wu Breaks Through Level 90
Outside the isolated room, under the detection of Lin Qinghan's mental force field, Lin Wu slowly raised his right hand and released blue-purple soul power with arcs of electricity.
He chose to release the soul power from his palm first. Since Lin Wu's soul power was nearly solid, a blue-purple crystal-like soul power crystal immediately formed in his hand. Thanks to his firm control over the soul power, almost none of it was released. However, because of the thunder attribute of his soul power, arcs of electricity still emitted.
With the help of Lin Qinghan's detection, Lin Wu was able to release the soul power more efficiently.
As Lin Wu continued to release soul power, the blue-purple crystal in his hand grew larger and larger, and more arcs were released. This process lasted for about thirty minutes.
Just as the blue-purple soul power crystal in Lin Wu's hand became larger than his fist, it seemed to reach a certain threshold and suddenly floated upwards. Lin Wu continued to channel soul power into the soul core, using his mental power to control the crystal, making it rotate continuously.
In an instant, a strong suction force spread around. The surrounding heaven and earth energy seemed to be drawn into the rotating soul crystal. This process continued for a long time.
At this point, Lin Wu's expression grew solemn, as he was about to proceed to the final step.
The soul crystal had now become a soul core.
Lin Wu pushed his soul power to its maximum output. The rotation speed of the soul core increased until it seemed to reach a critical limit. With a barely noticeable cracking sound, a black crack appeared around the soul core.
Lin Wu didn't stop transmitting soul power. He increased his effort until the cracks surrounded the entire soul core, as if enveloping it.
After a while, the space cracks around the soul core merged and turned into a black ring, resembling a magic circle.
Lin Wu suddenly stopped transmitting soul power and began to channel his mental power into the soul core. As his mental power flowed into it, the soul core trembled. Gradually, it became stable.
After a long period, the soul core calmed down, making a few loud buzzing sounds.
At this point, the soul core was successfully condensed outside his body. While it was now ready for absorption, Lin Wu didn't let his guard down. He concentrated, using Lin Qinghan's assistance to detect and carefully drew the soul core toward his abdomen.
When the soul core neared Lin Wu's abdomen, there were no obstacles, and it immediately merged with his body.
As Lin Wu's abdomen swelled slightly, he quickly sat cross-legged.
Another hour passed, and a strong aura suddenly erupted from Lin Wu. His strength surged, and his body returned to its normal state.
Clearly, Lin Wu had successfully broken through to level 90.
With the soul ring now in his possession, he could earn his title and officially become a Titled Douluo.
The strong aura came quickly and faded just as fast. Lin Wu, knowing that Lin Qinghan was still nearby, calmed his breathing and confirmed that his soul core had been successfully condensed.
"Incredible, the obstacle that has troubled me for so long was so easy to overcome this time."
Lin Wu felt that his strength had greatly increased, and he was in disbelief.
His appearance also became much younger, resembling a middle-aged man rather than an old one. However, his white hair remained upright, and his beard was still unchanged, so there was no drastic change in recognition.
At that moment, Lin Qinghan came out of the isolation room, and seeing Lin Wu's joyful face, he hurriedly congratulated him.
"Congratulations, Grandpa, on breaking through to Title Douluo!"
"Haha, thanks to you this time. Without your help, it would have taken me at least a few more years."
Lin Wu laughed and couldn't help but reminisce about the past.
Since the death of Lin Qinghan's grandfather—Lin Wu's father—the Lin family had fallen into a difficult position without a Title Douluo. Once a top family, comparable to an imperial duke's mansion, the Lin family had suffered several setbacks in high-level power struggles over the past two decades.
In recent years, they had even been on the brink of becoming a mid-tier family.
However, after Lin Qinghan awakened his martial soul, the Lin family's decline was slowed. The reasons behind this assistance from other forces were self-evident.
Now, with Lin Wu's breakthrough to Title Douluo, he had not only fulfilled one of his wishes but had also greatly improved the Lin family's current standing.
"Qinghan, Grandpa's breakthrough was so smooth thanks to you. I'm going to hold a grand banquet to celebrate. This time, you and I will be the main guests!"
Lin Wu excitedly hugged Lin Qinghan, but in his joy, he forgot about the remaining soul power in his body.
For a moment, the thunderous soul power in Lin Wu's body caused Lin Qinghan's hair to stand on end as he was caught off guard.
"Sorry, Qinghan. I forgot about the remaining soul power in my body."
Lin Wu apologized, feeling a bit embarrassed. His great-grandson had helped him so much, yet he had made him uncomfortable.
Lin Qinghan twitched his mouth slightly, feeling a little speechless, but since he wasn't hurt, he didn't say anything to his elder.
"I'm a little tired now, so I won't attend the banquet."
Lin Qinghan was truly exhausted. His mental power had been running at full capacity during the entire process, and he had to withstand the terrifying fluctuations of soul power to open the mental force field. It had taken a considerable toll on him.
Now that he had a general understanding of the soul core condensation process, he just wanted to rest and digest what he had experienced.
"Then you should rest first."
Lin Wu was now in high spirits and couldn't wait to announce that the Lin family had another Title Douluo.
Lin Qinghan quickly left and returned to his room.
Once inside, Lin Qinghan's consciousness sank into the sea of spirit.
Although he had already observed the entire process, Lin Qinghan still planned to consult Bingdi about the soul core. As a nearly 400,000-year-old soul beast, Bingdi must have a deep understanding of soul cores.
As soon as Lin Qinghan entered the sea of spirit, he saw Bingdi sitting lazily on the beach where the soul had been condensed earlier, basking in the sun of life.
Bingdi appeared relaxed, but it was clear she had nothing to do in this sea of spirit.
"Bingdi, do you know how I can condense the soul core under my current conditions?"
Bingdi was a little surprised by Lin Qinghan's question and only spoke after confirming it again.
"You're not even level 50 yet, and you're already thinking about condensing a soul core?"
Bingdi's tone was a bit didactic, as if she was telling Lin Qinghan that he was aiming too high.
"No, Bingdi. This is what I planned before. I'll condense a soul core at level 50 and another at level 70."
"This way, by level 70, I might have the strength to challenge Title Douluo above level 95."
Lin Qinghan didn't think this was impossible.
In the Douluo Continent of the future, condensing a soul core ahead of time had become normal for geniuses.
