Lin Chuan sat there for fifteen days.
"Om-"
A surge of soul power emanated from the area, spreading in all directions.
"Hmm!" Lin Chuan let out a soft hum, slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them, then stood up from the ground and subconsciously moved his body.
A series of cracking and snapping sounds of bones breaking apart rang out.
"We finally succeeded! A divinely bestowed spirit ring, it really is a wonderful thing!"
Hearing the commotion, Ye Lingling, who was cultivating outside the courtyard, immediately pushed open the door and entered. When she saw Lin Chuan standing there unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief.
A smile appeared on the girl's face. "Brother Chuan, you're finally awake."
"I'm sorry to have worried you, Lingling. How long did it take me to absorb the spirit ring?"
"Half a month has passed."
"Half a month? That's not too bad!"
Lin Chuan slowly exhaled, feeling more relaxed than ever before. In addition, his strength had also been greatly improved.
"Brother Chuan, is your seventh spirit ring 100,000 years?"
Hearing Ye Lingling's question, Lin Chuan smiled and shook his head, "It is indeed at the 100,000-year level, but it's not an ordinary 100,000-year level. It's more than 200,000 years!"
"So high?" Ye Lingling was immediately surprised. "Then what level of soul power do you have now?"
"Well..."
After a brief assessment, Lin Chuan smiled slightly. "It's already level seventy-nine."
In an instant, Ye Lingling's red lips parted slightly, too shocked to speak.
Jumping nine levels in one go, isn't that a bit too scary?
"It's not as exaggerated as you think. I was already level 69. After completing the assessment, I gained level 3 soul power, which is level 72. Absorbing the soul ring only increased my soul power by 7 levels."
Seemingly sensing what Ye Lingling was thinking, Lin Chuan immediately offered an explanation.
"I see. But level seven soul power is already quite terrifying, isn't it?"
Perhaps it was too shocking, so much so that even the usually aloof girl couldn't help but complain.
Of course, after the initial surprise, they were mostly happy for Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan was also very satisfied with the changes in himself. Putting aside the improvement in his soul power level, the effect of his seventh soul skill alone was already a pleasant surprise.
With a thought, Lin Chuan slowly raised his right hand, and the newly appeared seventh spirit ring slowly rose under his guidance, rapidly enlarging as it rose.
The red light instantly radiated outwards, even dyeing the sky blood red.
As the Sunset Bow appeared, its surface was covered with a layer of reddish-black color, making it look particularly eerie. At the same time, its sharp aura made Ye Lingling almost unable to open her eyes.
This is Lin Chuan's seventh soul skill, Sunset Glow True Form.
Unlike Tang Hao's Haotian True Body, where the size of the martial soul did not change, this does not mean there was no change at all.
The effect of the Sunset True Form enhances and amplifies the Sunset Bow. In this state, all attacks can be locked onto with mental power without any cost, and the power will be increased by about one and a half times. The duration is half an hour.
In other words, as long as Lin Chuan uses his Martial Soul True Body, he will gain three additional buffs for half an hour: Lock-on, Berserk, and Infinite Firepower.
"Wow, who can withstand this?"
Lin Chuan gasped, his eyes flashing with intense excitement.
The power amplification alone, coupled with the fact that it consumes no resources, is already quite exaggerated. Add to that the mental lock, and it's impossible to dodge it.
At this moment, Lin Chuan was already mourning for his future enemy.
Of course, the Martial Soul True Form is not without its flaws. The seventh soul skill can only be used once a day, which is mainly for burst damage!
"That's not bad, considering that other people don't know this."
Lin Chuan clenched his fist slightly, and the red and black beam of light suddenly receded, restoring the Sunset Bow to its ordinary appearance.
Just then, the bow suddenly began to tremble.
Sensing the feedback from the Sunset Bow, Lin Chuan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"You want to fuse another spirit ring?"
The Sunset Bow trembled once more.
"What's the use of just eating? You can't release it after eating it, so every time I fight, I miss the process of releasing a spirit ring to create a pre-battle deterrent."
As Lin Chuan complained and grumbled, a black light suddenly flashed from the Sunset Bow.
The next moment, six spirit rings of different colors appeared out of thin air and hovered behind Lin Chuan.
Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, and red—the seven spirit rings, arranged in neat rows, each released a dazzling brilliance, complementing each other perfectly.
"So you can release spirit rings! Why didn't you say so earlier? You've made me miss so many opportunities to show off!"
Lin Chuan gritted his teeth, feeling utterly heartbroken.
It's not a problem to lie low when you're weak, but now that he's so powerful, it would be really uncomfortable if he didn't put on a show.
Besides, for a Soul Master, it always feels like something's missing if they don't reveal a Soul Ring before a battle.
"Alright, since you can show your spirit rings, then eat whatever you want. But remember this: when I want to show my spirit rings, you have to show them to me too, understand?"
The Sunset Bow trembled incessantly, as if responding in this way.
Without waiting for Lin Chuan to say anything more, she directly guided the seven soul rings, which were then integrated into the bow.

……
Such a huge improvement was obviously beyond Lin Chuan's expectations.
In any case, coming to the Temple of Life was the right decision!
"Judging from this, even if I haven't completed all the tests by the time I leave the Temple of Life, I should at least be able to break through to the Soul Douluo level. I just don't know if I'll still be able to obtain the God-given Soul Ring!"
Each person can indeed only receive a divinely bestowed soul ring once when participating in the Seagod Island assessment, but this is, after all, the Temple of Life, so what if something unexpected happens?
However, it's too early to think about these things now. In fact, Lin Chuan already has a goal regarding his spirit rings. The seventh spirit ring is not a big deal, but the ones after that... need to be carefully considered.
"Lingling, what is the content of your third test?"
Ye Lingling closed her eyes and carefully sensed the information in the mark between her eyebrows.
A moment later, the girl slowly opened her eyes. "My third test is to use life energy to purify the fallen creatures in the Forest of Life. What about you, Brother Chuan?"
"My assessment remains the same: I will assist you in completing the assessment."
This was exactly what Lin Chuan wanted to do.
"Let's go and see what these so-called fallen beings really are!"
Ye Lingling nodded gently and walked out of the Temple of Life with Lin Chuan.
This time, without any warning, the two had just entered the Forest of Life when they saw a delicate figure walking shakily toward them.
The girl was swaying precariously, and fine beads of blood were gradually appearing on her skin, making her look particularly frightening.
Seemingly spotting Lin Chuan and Ye Lingling, Xiao Wu gritted her teeth, and her spirit rings suddenly flashed, instantly appearing beside them.
Almost the instant she stood still, the green light enveloping the girl's body vanished.
With her shoulder loosened, Xiao Wu could no longer stand and staggered to the ground, but her face was filled with excitement.
"How was it? Xiao Chuan, I told you Xiao Wu could do it, right?"
Faced with Xiao Wu's boasting, Lin Chuan stared at her as if she were an idiot.
"So...you just wanted to show off to me?"
"What bragging? This is proof!" Xiao Wu pouted and retorted loudly.
Lin Chuan's eyes immediately filled with pity. "If I remember correctly, you still have about three months left before your first exam, right?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.
"During this period of time, under the pressure of the Light of Life, has your cultivation speed been faster than usual?" Lin Chuan asked again.
Xiao Wu nodded subconsciously, "Yes!"
"Since you still have three months before the deadline, why end the assessment so early? Wouldn't it be better to train for another three months?"
