Chapter 2768: 2768 **Chapter 2768: This Question Should Not Be Asked** Lu Fengyao covered her mouth in shock. She was more surprised than anyone else, but after the initial shock, she felt it was only natural. "Little Brother Lin is even more amazing than I thought. Truly outstanding." "But why is he still descending?" "Could it be that, like me, his soul power is insufficient?" "What a pity." In Lu Fengyao’s eyes, the ultimate limitation for Lin Moyu was his realm. Without a high enough realm, the soul power wouldn’t be sufficient, and he would always be at a disadvantage, just like her. As the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus continued to rise and Lin Moyu continued to descend, at the forty-ninth minute, they finally became level again. The Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus seemed to sense Lin Moyu and couldn’t help but reveal a victorious smile. The onlookers also sighed. "He still lost. What a pity." "There’s nothing to pity. This brother is already strong enough. If his realm were higher, the one losing might be the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus." "A mid-level Heavenly Sovereign against a second-realm Dao Sovereign, the difference in realms is too great to overcome." "Anyway, this brother has already made us Heavenly Sovereigns proud. He will definitely become a prodigy in the future." "That’s not certain. We don’t even know his age. What if he’s over the age limit?" "I don’t believe it. He feels very young to me, unbelievably young." In Lin Moyu’s soul world, he was at the final stage of studying the runes. The runes had been completely deconstructed and were now being reassembled. As the runes combined, a secret technique naturally emerged in his mind. "Soul Ascension Secret Technique, so this is called the Soul Ascension Secret Technique." "The function of the secret technique is to elevate the soul realm. Although it’s only a temporary boost, it’s very useful during cultivation." "The higher the soul realm, the clearer the understanding of the Great Dao, and the faster the cultivation speed." Lin Moyu finally understood that the Soul Ascension Secret Technique was an auxiliary technique for cultivation. The Soul Ascension Secret Technique, derived from the Great Dao of the Soul, could temporarily elevate the soul by three realms. If it could elevate by three realms, the cultivation speed would increase at least threefold. For others, this would be the case, but for Lin Moyu, the effect would be even greater. The Soul Ascension Secret Technique, combined with the silver tree sap, could produce unimaginable results. Moreover, Lin Moyu could use the Soul Ascension Secret Technique elsewhere, such as with his origin spell: Power Gathering! Power Gathering was restricted by both the physical body and the soul. At least with the Soul Ascension Secret Technique, the soul restriction could be relaxed. Most importantly, this secret technique had almost no side effects other than a time limit, making it nearly perfect. "Very nice, it’s practically tailor-made for me." Lin Moyu opened his eyes and found himself just over a meter above the lake surface. Lu Fengyao was not far ahead, and the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus was already three meters higher than him. Lin Moyu wanted to speak but found he couldn’t make a sound, realizing there were restrictions here. Lu Fengyao gave Lin Moyu a look, as if asking, "How are you? Can you continue?" Lin Moyu understood immediately and nodded slightly, indicating he could. Lu Fengyao gave another look, as if saying, "Then keep going, surpass her!" Lin Moyu smiled and gave Lu Fengyao a reassuring look. The next second, he activated the secret technique. Previously, the secret techniques he had comprehended from listening to the Great Dao were incomplete versions, only able to exert a small portion of the Soul Ascension Secret Technique’s power. According to the rules, only the Soul Ascension Secret Technique could counteract the pressure of the Great Dao. The stronger the secret technique used, the faster the speed. This time, Lin Moyu used the complete version of the Soul Ascension Secret Technique. Although he had only just learned it and wasn’t yet proficient, it was still better than the incomplete version. As soon as he activated the secret technique, Lin Moyu felt his body lighten, and he, along with his chair, rapidly ascended. "So fast!" Lu Fengyao watched Lin Moyu ascend and couldn’t help but be astonished. Lin Moyu’s ascending speed was incredibly fast, almost a meter every ten seconds, much faster than before. Lin Moyu’s action immediately caused an uproar among the onlookers. Those who had previously insisted that Lin Moyu couldn’t make it were all slapped in the face. Even the Dao Sovereigns in the sky were surprised, having thought Lin Moyu had reached his limit. But even so, Lin Moyu was already considered an extraordinary prodigy in their eyes. It was just that his soul realm was holding him back. If Lin Moyu were at the same realm as the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus, almost everyone believed he could surpass her and take first place in this round. Even the Dao Sovereigns from the Ancient Lotus Holy Land had to admit that Lin Moyu’s comprehension surpassed that of their Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus. However, they never expected that Lin Moyu still had more to give and that his ascending speed was unprecedented. The Dao Sovereigns were astonished and looked towards Xiahou Yuan. Only Xiahou Yuan, the host, understood the situation. Xiahou Yuan smiled, "He comprehended the complete Soul Ascension Secret Technique." The Dao Sovereigns were taken aback. They all knew that the core of this Dao lecture was the Soul Ascension Secret Technique. Whoever could truly comprehend the Soul Ascension Secret Technique would undoubtedly be the final victor. Unfortunately, the Soul Ascension Secret Technique was too difficult. Even for them, comprehending it would take a long time. Comprehending it in just a few dozen minutes seemed impossible. No one expected Lin Moyu to have comprehended it. Someone asked, "Senior Xiahou, how did he comprehend it?" Xiahou Yuan replied, "This question should not be asked." The person immediately realized their mistake. Indeed, it was inappropriate to ask. No matter how it was comprehended, it was the other party’s secret. In the last minute of the fifth round, Lin Moyu ascended with astonishing speed, surpassing the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus once again, taking the lead. As the sixth round began, the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus’s ascent temporarily halted, and she began to descend again. She opened her beautiful eyes and saw Lu Fengyao being eliminated, but didn’t see Lin Moyu. "Where is he?" The Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus had a bad feeling and felt inexplicably uneasy. She looked up and saw Lin Moyu, enveloped in a faint light, already ten meters above her—an almost unreachable distance. "How is this possible!" The Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus was completely flustered. It wasn’t just the distance that troubled her. She realized she was descending while Lin Moyu was still ascending. Even though the new round had just begun, he was still rising, which defied common sense. Her heart was in complete disarray and she could no longer focus on listening to the Great Dao. Even when she touched the lake surface and was lifted away by a force, she couldn’t calm down. On the entire lake, only Lin Moyu remained. He sat like an emperor on a dragon throne, looking down on all the prodigies present. The sound of the Great Dao ceased, and Xiahou Yuan appeared before Lin Moyu, scrutinizing him. Lin Moyu knew that this senior had brought him to the lake, allowed him to participate in this assessment, and made him the center of attention. Lin Moyu hadn’t intended to stand out, but now he couldn’t blame this senior. After all, he had just learned the Soul Ascension Secret Technique and couldn’t possibly blame the one who taught it to him. Xiahou Yuan scrutinized Lin Moyu, "You are quite impressive." ---
