Cough, cough. I got carried away with writing and forgot to update. Fortunately, it's not too late. Please follow and give me recommendations!

Tang Wulin only noticed his presence now and hurriedly said, "Teacher."

Mang Tian nodded, "Come on."

Tang Wulin looked at his mother, then at his teacher, and jumped off the bed. He raised his right hand, and with a slight mental effort, the room, which was originally dimly lit, suddenly brightened.

A circle of white light slowly rose from his feet, ascending and then circling his body in a rhythmic motion.

This was the soul ring unique to soul masters, white, representing a ten-year soul ring, the lowest level among all soul rings.

Before the existence of soul spirits ten thousand years ago, the most distinctive feature of soul masters was their soul rings.

Tang Wulin opened his palm, and a yellow light flashed in his palm. A small grass snake, nearly doubled in size, appeared in his hand. Immediately, blue, finger-thick vines rapidly sprouted and spread out, quickly covering every corner of the room.

This was the first time Tang Wulin had released his soul power after becoming a soul master. It was completely different from before he had a soul ring. He felt that each spreading blue silver grass was an extension of his consciousness, and any touch from the outside world would immediately be fed back to his mind. He could even sense the joy of the small grass snake, which was much clearer than when they had fused.

Even though it was just a ten-year soul ring, the white light circling up and down still made Tang Wulin shine brilliantly. This was the charm of soul masters; even with just one soul ring, they were vastly different from ordinary people.

Lang Yue was somewhat dazed, Tang Ziran's eyes finally showed a hint of surprise, and Nai'er seemed to be lost in thought again.

Mang Tian reached out and pulled a blue silver grass. The seemingly fragile vine, fused with a weak soul spirit, indeed did not produce a very good evolutionary effect!

He felt a bit disheartened and said to Tang Wulin, "Don't be discouraged. Although the soul spirit isn't good, you have truly become a soul master, and your soul power has room for further improvement. The existence of soul power can help you in any profession. Ten thousand years ago, when soul conductors first became popular, many soul masters recognized them because their soul powers and soul rings were not strong enough, but they could enhance their combat abilities through soul conductors. The same applies to mechs. As long as you have soul power, even without a powerful soul spirit, you still have the potential to become a mech pilot. There are mech pilots with weak soul powers but strong abilities. Moreover, soul power can play a significant role in forging, making your perception more acute and enhancing your strength."

As he spoke, Mang Tian released the blue silver grass, which landed with a crisp "snap."

"Huh." Mang Tian was slightly taken aback, pulled another blue silver grass, and weighed it in his hand, frowning.

Hearing Mang Tian's words, Tang Wulin felt a glimmer of hope. Even if he couldn't become a powerful soul master, he still had the chance to become a powerful mech pilot.

"Mang brother, what's wrong?" Tang Ziran noticed Mang Tian's reaction and asked subconsciously.

Mang Tian did not respond but grabbed the blue silver grass with both hands and pulled it hard.

As a forger, his strength was considerable, but when he pulled the blue silver grass, it became taut instantly but did not break as expected. The seemingly fragile vine was unexpectedly resilient.

"Your blue silver grass seems a bit off," Mang Tian said to Tang Wulin in a deep voice.

Tang Wulin asked in confusion, "Teacher, what's wrong with it?"

Mang Tian replied, "First, the weight. I didn't notice it at first, but the sound it made when it landed indicated it was not light. I felt it again, and it is indeed heavy, heavier than ordinary vines. This doesn't seem to be a situation that a blue silver grass with just one soul ring should have. Let me try again."

As he spoke, Mang Tian's eyes suddenly lit up, and then one white, two yellow, and one purple soul ring rose from his feet, instantly filling the room with light. The aura emanating from Mang Tian made Tang Wulin, also a soul master, instinctively take a step back.

He was so surprised he couldn't speak.

According to the soul master ranks, from level 0 to 10 is a Soul Scholar, from level 11 to 20 is a Soul Master, and every ten levels thereafter are given a new title: Great Soul Master, Soul Venerable, Soul Sage, Soul King, Soul Emperor, Soul Saint, Soul Douluo, up to the highest level of a Nine-Ring Sealed Douluo.

His teacher, a forger, was actually a powerful Soul Sage with four soul rings.

As the soul rings appeared, three soul spirits also emerged from Mang Tian's shoulders. The first soul spirit looked the weakest, a small rabbit crouched on his shoulder, emitting a faint white glow. The second soul spirit was a yellow entity, two iron hammers, shimmering with a pale yellow light. Artificial soul spirits can be created as tool soul spirits, but true natural soul spirits do not appear as tool soul spirits.

The last purple soul spirit was the most eye-catching, a small bear about three feet tall, covered in brown fur, with particularly thick and strong arms, looking very fierce. As soon as it appeared, it jumped off Mang Tian's shoulder, baring its teeth and snarling, as if ready to attack.

Each soul spirit had its own characteristics, and Mang Tian's own soul power was a hammer, a hammer emitting a faint white glow, similar in appearance to a forging hammer, with deep brown patterns on it.

Earth Hammer, this was Mang Tian's soul power.

With his soul power released, Mang Tian's entire aura became much stronger. His first white soul ring lit up, and the small rabbit on his shoulder emitted a layer of soft white light that covered him.

First soul skill, ten-year soul ring skill, Resilience.

This was a very common soul skill, but it made Mang Tian's muscles more elastic and stronger.

With the soul skill's enhancement, Mang Tian channeled his soul power and pulled the blue silver grass in his hand.

A strange scene unfolded. Just as everyone, including Tang Wulin, thought the blue silver grass would break, it suddenly lit up under the external force.
