Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 43 The Unimaginable Third Soul Skill
Lin Yi successfully advanced to Soul Master, but Moon discovered that Lin Yi's martial soul seemed a little different from before.

In addition to the original light and breath of life on the golden tree, there seemed to be another breath; in addition to the brilliant golden color, a second color appeared.

Moon and Beibei looked at Lin Yi's golden tree in amazement.

On the crown of the golden tree, which was completely golden, purple arcs of lightning jumped among the golden leaves as they shook and rubbed against each other. In addition to the original extreme brightness and extreme life, as well as the devouring attribute gained from absorbing the first soul ring, the golden tree suddenly had a fourth attribute - thunder!

Moreover, Beibei actually felt a little oppression from this lightning arc, and couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart. The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is known as the continent's number one offensive beast spirit, and it is certainly not a false reputation. Whether it is the true dragon bloodline or its own powerful lightning attribute, it is considered top-notch. But the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex's thunder actually felt oppressive in front of the Golden Tree's thunder. What does this mean?
"Is your thunder attribute also an ultimate attribute?"

Beibei asked out of shock.

Lin Yi shook his head. "It's not at the ultimate level. I feel like it's still a little short of my light and life. I think it can be considered halfway to the ultimate or pseudo-ultimate..."

Moon smiled and said, "It's great to be able to add a new attribute to your martial soul. Let's try the soul skill. The thunder attribute should be a powerful offensive soul skill."

Lin Yi shook his head again, "Master, it's more than just an attack spirit skill. I feel it's more appropriate to call it a functional spirit skill."

"Functional soul skills?"

This is a new word.

Lin Yi didn't waste any words. Both of them were trustworthy. Moreover, he didn't think there was anything to hide about this soul skill.

Looking around, they found that they had already moved away from the center of the valley to avoid the violent thunder waterfall, so the dark clouds in the sky could not affect this place.

Thus, the first soul ring lit up and the golden growth started. The soul power required for the 70,000-year soul ring was too huge. Even though Lin Yi's soul power quality far exceeded that of the same level, he could only rely on external forces to face this soul skill.

After a while, it seemed that the soul power was accumulated enough, and the third soul ring lit up. Lin Yi's soul power was rapidly discharged, but there was no movement.

Just when he was confused, Moon suddenly looked up at the sky, and Beibei, who saw Xuanzu's actions, also looked up.

Above the golden tree, large dark clouds gathered. As time passed, the clouds grew bigger and bigger. After a while, a cloud of a hundred meters appeared.

Beibei was stunned. How could a Soul Master achieve this level of power? Was he truly human?

Although Moon did not lose his composure, there was an intense shock in his eyes.

In the sky, dark clouds rolled, as if they were pregnant with something, and a faint roaring sound came from the clouds.

Lin Yi let out a long breath at this moment. The amount of soul power consumed by this soul skill was terrifying...

Moon noticed Lin Yi's movements and asked, "Is this your third soul skill?"

Lin Yi smiled slightly, "Master, don't worry, this is just the beginning, the real show is about to begin."

As if to echo Lin Yi's words, just as Lin Yi finished speaking, there was a crack, and a bolt of lightning struck down from the dark clouds. Amid Beibei's exclamations, it hit Lin Yi's golden tree.

Moon wanted to take action, but seeing Lin Yi's calm expression, he held back and watched.

Thunder struck, and the golden tree was immediately damaged. The golden branches and leaves scattered, and a hint of charring appeared on the broken branches. Lin Yi's martial soul was damaged, and his face turned pale. Fortunately, the golden growth was still in progress, and Lin Yi's complexion quickly recovered.

But, it’s not over yet!

Thunder struck again from the clouds, and the golden tree was injured again. As the gold grew, the ultimate life force also began to take effect, and the injuries suffered by the golden tree and Lin Yi slowly recovered.

Beibei went from exclaiming in surprise to being confused now.

Why? Lin Yi's soul skills will always strike at his own martial soul. It can't be that after this soul skill is released, the target of the attack is random, right? Or...

Beibei glanced at Lin Yi secretly. This guy deserved to be struck by lightning... As if noticing Beibei's gaze, Lin Yi looked over and met Beibei's gaze. Lin Yi felt that Beibei's eyes seemed full of malice. Just when he suspected that he had seen it wrong, Beibei had already looked away.

The dark clouds did not stop, and thunder struck again and again, splitting the branches and leaves of the golden tree into pieces.

In a short while, the golden tree that was originally lush and full of vitality had turned into a bare lightning-struck tree, and the golden tree's originally beautiful golden color had turned charred.

Beibei looked flustered, but since Lin Yi and Moon didn't say anything, he didn't dare to say anything and could only watch.

Little did he know, Moon was also confused. What exactly was the effect of this soul skill? Could it just chop itself apart?
Seeing Lin Yi's golden tree being struck by lightning and turned into wood, Moon was anxious, but looking at his disciple who looked pale but calm, he couldn't ask about his master's identity and could only worry secretly.

Finally, when the golden tree was chopped down to only half of its trunk, Lei Ji finally stopped. After a careful count, he found that there were thirty-six thunders in total.

Lin Yi's face had turned extremely pale. With his martial soul injured, Lin Yi naturally wouldn't feel well either.

But looking at the half-chopped golden tree, Lin Yi smiled instead.

"This is my third soul skill, Golden Tribulation."

As Lin Yi spoke, a vibrant green light emerged from the golden tree. The breath of life it emitted affected the surrounding plants. Under the astonished gaze of the grandfather and grandson, the plants grew rapidly.

As the green light moved over the golden tree, it suddenly regained its vitality at a speed visible to the naked eye. The charred black color faded away, and the bright golden color reappeared. The trunk began to grow, and branches and leaves began to differentiate at the top.

In a moment, the golden tree that was half-dead before actually regained its former lush branches and leaves, and Lin Yi's face also returned to its rosy complexion.

Moreover, Moon keenly noticed that the aura of the golden tree had improved slightly, and its origin seemed to be a little stronger.

Thinking about what Lin Yi had said before about this soul skill being called 'Golden Tribulation', Moon seemed to understand something.

Lin Yi smiled as he watched the changes in his martial spirit. "This is the effect of the Golden Tribulation. As I mentioned before, the thunder brings not only destruction, but also rebirth."

"The combination of thunder and ultimate life simulates heavenly thunder, using thunder to remove the dross and retain the essence, prompting the Golden Tree to break through its limits and increase its own upper limit. As for the other additional attack power and so on, I think it is actually a minor path."

Listening to Lin Yi's relaxed and cheerful words, Beibei and Moon were filled with shock. Soul masters have appeared for tens of thousands of years, with all kinds of martial souls and soul skills, but Lin Yi's golden tribulation still exceeded their imagination.

Is this really what soul skills can do?

Unlike Beibei who was only shocked, Moon was excited after being shocked. This genius and monster was from Shrek.

As long as Lin Yi can grow up safely, Shrek will have no worries for a thousand years.

Five hundred years of this time was the time Moon believed Lin Yi could exist, and the other five hundred years was the time Lin Yi would leave behind a great reputation.

In Moon's eyes at this moment, as long as Lin Yi grows up smoothly, his remaining power alone can protect Shrek's peace for 500 years.

Moon had already paid enough attention to Lin Yi before, but Lin Yi's performance now undoubtedly told Moon that it was not enough! The previous chips and attention were not enough!

Moon, who had completely understood the truth, calmed down instead. Lin Yi had already been accepted as his disciple and entered Shrek Academy. From now on, he just had to keep increasing the investment. With Shrek's accumulation of thousands of years, he would always be able to feed this little guy Lin Yi. It was just a matter of paying any price. Shrek could afford it!

Unlike Beibei's shock and Moon's excitement, Lin Yi was excited!
Because, through this soul ring, Lin Yi confirmed one thing, that is, the theory of the other world is really useful!
The memories from the other world have always been the biggest secret in Lin Yi's heart, but in the past, the memories from the other world did not actually bring Lin Yi much convenience, because the other world is different from the Douluo Continent after all. There are no extraordinary beings there. Everything about the extraordinary is just theory. How can we know the feasibility of theories that have not been put into practice?

But this time, Lin Yi bet a soul ring, betting that those theories were feasible. As it turned out, Lin Yi won the bet!

There is no doubt that the third soul skill - Golden Tribulation is a soul skill that has never appeared on the continent, and the effect of this soul skill is undoubtedly powerful. Lin Yi is certain at this moment that this soul skill is definitely the foundation of his Lin Yi's way to the sky.

After more than seven years in this world, Lin Yi finally saw his own path!
