High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

[Congratulations, host, on mastering the secret art of the soul: Soul Avatar]

[Soul Clone: ​​The host can condense a clone possessing 50% of the host's soul power. For each level the soul advances, the number of soul clones increases by one; current number is 0/1.]

Su Jie stood there, carefully savoring the final changes brought about by the inheritance of the second volume of the "Soul Book", especially the newly comprehended soul secret technique [Soul Clone].

"Divine Soul Clone... Each time the divine soul is upgraded to a higher level, an additional clone can be created." Su Jie quickly calculated in his mind.

"I am now a first-order immortal soul, which means I can immediately condense a soul clone."

The strength of my clone is directly related to the strength of my soul, and my current strength in the soul realm is far superior to that in my physical body.

Even with only 50% of his divine soul power, he is still within the realm of the divine soul, far more powerful than those half-step rulers who are still on the path of transforming between the real and the illusory!

Most importantly, this clone is fearless!

Thinking of this, a glint of light flashed in Su Jie's eyes.

"This is incredibly useful. Whether it's for reconnaissance, exploration, setting traps, or acting as a decoy to confuse the enemy at crucial moments, it's an excellent tool."

Moreover, the soul clone is formless and intangible, with extremely strong penetrating power and concealment...

"System, what conditions or resources are required to condense this soul clone?" Su Jie asked in his mind.

It requires about one-tenth of the host's total soul power, as well as a wisp of immortal divinity as the core of the clone's 'spirituality'.

The condensation process takes approximately ten breaths. "The immortal divinity lost upon the death of the clone requires ten days to be regenerated," the system explained in detail.

"One-tenth of my soul power, a wisp of immortal divinity... the price is acceptable." Su Jie nodded.

Immortal divinity is one of the essential characteristics of his soul; although precious, it can be automatically restored.

"Since that's the case, then let's condense the first divine soul avatar right here!"

He never procrastinates; once he makes up his mind, he acts immediately.

Su Jie separated a wisp of his consciousness and sank it into the depths of his sea of ​​consciousness.

The pale silver immortal soul sat quietly in meditation, its immortal soul crown above its head radiating a mysterious glow.

He manipulated the vast soul power to begin diverting it, carefully separating about one-tenth of the soul power and gathering it in a corner of his sea of ​​consciousness.

This process requires extremely high control; the slightest carelessness could damage the very essence of one's soul.

However, it was not difficult for Su Jie, who possessed the perspective of the "source of all laws" of the Primordial Dao Body and perfect control.

The soul power gathered and gradually formed a blurry humanoid outline.

Immediately afterwards, Su Jie drew upon a wisp of the purest, pale silver divine essence from the core of the immortal soul, which contained the imprints of "immortality" and "self," and poured it into the blurry humanoid figure.

"Buzz—"

As if adding the finishing touch, the soul-powered humanoid instantly "came to life"!

Its outline quickly became clear, transforming into an appearance identical to Su Jie's, except that its entire body was composed of pale silver soul light, making it slightly transparent, and its aura was ethereal and profound.

The clone opened its eyes, and a pale silver soul fire burned quietly in them as well. However, compared to the original body, it lacked the all-encompassing primordial Dao charm, but possessed a pure and sharp soul Dao.

"It's done." Su Jie's true form smiled.

He felt a strange spiritual connection with his clone, as if he had gained an extra limb that he could absolutely trust and control like his own arm.

He can share the clone's vision and perception, and can also completely descend into the clone's realm at any time for precise control, or simply issue a macro-level command to make the clone act autonomously.

"I've got another trump card up my sleeve." Su Jie was in a good mood.

"Once my soul advances to a higher level and I have several clones at the same time, a group of 'me's' will gang up on one enemy... Just thinking about that scene is a bit too much."

A slightly wicked thought flashed through Su Jie's mind, and his smile became even brighter.

Of course, the soul techniques that Su Jie obtained this time were not limited to the soul clone. There were other techniques that Su Jie planned to test in future battles.

He stood up and stepped out of the now thinned Chaos Pool.

There were no unusual phenomena released, nor was any pressure exerted.

Su Jie walked out calmly, just like an ordinary person.

However, on the outskirts of the pool, all the prodigies subconsciously took three steps back, and no one dared to meet his gaze.

"Fellow Daoist Su... Fellow Daoist Su." Yu Hengzi forced a bow, "Congratulations on your breakthrough again."

Su Jie glanced at him and nodded: "Fellow Daoist Yuhengzi, you are too kind."

His voice was calm, yet it possessed a strange quality that penetrated the soul, making one want to submit.

Jian Wuhen gritted his teeth and stepped forward: "Su Jie, just how strong are you now?"

This is the question everyone wants to ask.

Su Jie thought for a moment and replied seriously, "To defeat all of you combined, it shouldn't take more than one move."

silence.

All the geniuses in the audience were stunned.

Is it arrogant? It's incredibly arrogant!

But no one dared to refute it.

The extraordinary phenomenon of their soul breakthrough was still vivid in their minds. The absolute suppression at the soul level left them with no desire to resist.

"Alright," Su Jie waved his hand, "I'm going to the Trial Tower. This pool..."

He glanced back at the epic-level pool of chaotic laws.

After nearly a year of frantic absorption, the concentration of spiritual liquid in the pool has decreased by nearly 30%, but it is still a top-tier treasure land.

"Anyone who wants to use it can use it. Kind as I am, I really don't like fighting and killing."

After saying that, he vanished in a flash.

The group of geniuses were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

After a long pause, Xuan Jin finally said in a hoarse voice, "He... he just gave up the pool like that?"

"It's not that he's giving it away," Yuhengzi shook his head, "it's that he no longer needs it. His grotto-heaven should have already reached the tenth level of perfection, so this pool is no longer of any use to him."

Jian Wuhen gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, then slowly loosened his grip.

"Let's go back to the Trial Tower." He turned and left. "I want to see with my own eyes how many floors he can reach."

The Tower of Trials of All Laws is located in the center of the secret realm.

This is a towering nine-story pagoda, thousands of feet tall, made entirely of a rare material called "Myriad Laws Divine Gold." Its surface is engraved with countless ancient Dao patterns, exuding a majestic aura that suppresses all heavens.

In front of the tower was a vast square, where more than three hundred prodigies had gathered.

When Su Jie's figure appeared at the edge of the square, the previously noisy square instantly fell silent.

All eyes turned to him, filled with awe, curiosity, jealousy, and a desire to fight.

Su Jie ignored him and walked straight toward the tower gate.

"Junior Brother Su Jie." A gentle voice rang out.

Chu Qingli stepped out from the crowd. Her aura was much stronger than a year ago, and she was surrounded by ice crystal Daoist charm, clearly indicating that she had gained a lot from the Ancient Stele Forest.

"Senior Sister Chu," Su Jie nodded with a smile, "it seems you've gained quite a bit."

"I'm not even a fraction as good as my junior brother," Chu Qingli said with a wry smile. "I can't even see through you anymore."

"I've only gained a little," Su Jie said modestly.
