A massive influx of soul skill information once again surged into Ye Lan's mind.

Among them, he noticed a few particularly impressive skills.

Soul Skill Name: Camouflage

Passive Effect:

The Blue Silver Grass absorbs the camouflage ability of the Ancient Beast's Touch, allowing it to blend into the surrounding terrain. It can mimic small soul beasts to lure enemies or create decoys to confuse opponents.

Active Soul Skill:

Enhances the surface of the Blue Silver Grass, doubling its defense.

Ye Lan looked at this soul skill with mild surprise—he hadn't expected the Ancient Beast's Touch to possess camouflage abilities. However, even if it did, it would have never escaped the perception of Ye Lan's Golden Eyes.

The camouflage soul skill would allow the Blue Silver Grass to blend into the environment, making ambushes easier.

The active skill was also decent, offering a defense boost.

But Ye Lan didn't particularly need this ability. He could already control the Blue Silver Grass to approach enemies without requiring stealth.

As for the defensive bonus—although he did find the Blue Silver Grass a little lacking in defense, its immense vitality compensated well enough for now.

Of course, if Ye Lan had been pursuing a defensive soul master route, this skill would have been excellent.

Still, since this was only a blue-grade soul skill, he didn't expect too much.

Soul Skill Name: Silent Oblivion

Passive Effect:

The Blue Silver Grass absorbs the dark attribute of the mutated Ancient Beast's Touch, transforming its extreme light into extreme darkness, and its extreme life into extreme death.

The Blue Silver Grass: Radiant Living Form mutates into Blue Silver Grass: Shadow Wraith Form.

Active Soul Skill:

Launches Silent Oblivion, dealing 100% dark attribute damage per second for five continuous seconds.

This soul skill was quite unique—it completely reversed the attributes of the Radiant Living Form into the dual extremes of darkness and death.

However, these two attributes didn't align with Ye Lan's long-term path. If he chose this skill, the life-enhancing effects of his first soul skill would be rendered useless.

The active skill was essentially the same black-purple beam the Ancient Beast's Touch had released at the end—its damage was impressive. Unfortunately, the creature's mutated dark attribute hadn't reached the level of Extreme Darkness, which was why Ye Lan's Extreme Light had completely countered it.

One could say this skill would've transformed Ye Lan into a terrifying prodigy among evil soul masters—but that was not his ambition.

After all, if one can live beneath the light, why would they embrace the darkness?

Soul Skill Name: Ocean's Embrace

Passive Effect:

The Blue Silver Grass absorbs the sea beast traits of the mutated Ancient Beast's Touch, gaining the Extreme Water attribute and a 100% final life boost.

It also grants sea beast physiology, allowing adaptation to aquatic environments.

Active Soul Skill:

Transforms all Blue Silver Grass into an oceanic domain.

The size of the domain is directly proportional to the total life force of the transformed Blue Silver Grass.

Within the domain, allied units receive a 10% boost to all attributes, while enemies suffer a 10% reduction in all attributes.

This domain-type soul skill's key feature was its enhancement of the Extreme Water attribute, and the 100% final life bonus to Blue Silver Grass.

This bonus would multiply synergistically with the passive skill I Want to Grow Up.

Additionally, the sea beast physiology would allow Ye Lan to breathe underwater and withstand deep-sea pressure.

The active skill would transform the Blue Silver Grass into a real, three-dimensional aquatic battlefield surrounding Ye Lan.

Allies would have increased stats, and enemies would be suppressed.

Thanks to the sea beast physiology, Ye Lan would be able to fight like a marine predator within the domain.

If the enemy wasn't a marine-type soul master, they'd be at a significant disadvantage.

All things considered, the difference in combat power would widen by at least 50%.

In short, Ocean's Embrace was a broken-tier skill. But its active ability did have a major drawback:

Ye Lan's primary combat power came from the Blue Silver Grass. If he activated this soul skill, he would have to enter close combat himself.

Still, regardless of its downside, this was undeniably a divine skill.

Ye Lan marked it as a backup option—even if he didn't use the active ability, the passive bonuses alone were excellent.

Soul Skill Name: Tentacles

Passive Effect:

The Blue Silver Grass absorbs the tentacle characteristics of the mutated Ancient Beast's Touch, increasing strength by 50%.

Active Soul Skill:

The Blue Silver Grass mimics the beast's tentacles, boosting strength by 100%.

There wasn't much to explain here—tentacle enthusiasts would be ecstatic.

The Blue Silver Grass would change appearance, taking on a tentacle-like form with serrated suction cups, enhancing its strangling power.

Additionally, it would receive a 100% boost to strength.

With this skill, the Blue Silver Grass's power could rival that of an assault-type soul master.

While the skill was impressive on its own, it didn't fit into Ye Lan's overall system.

So this one—pass.

Ye Lan continued scanning the streams of information flooding his mind. Just as he was about to settle on Ocean's Embrace, one particular soul skill suddenly caught his attention.

Soul Skill Name: Blue God Prophet

Passive Effect:

The Blue Silver Grass absorbs the faith once directed at oceanic ancient beasts (Ye Lan himself) by primordial ancestors, granting it the power of worship.

The Blue Silver Grass gains water attributes and receives a 50% final health boost.

Active Soul Skill:

Summons the Blue Silver Worshipper! Three strands of Blue Silver Grass fuse together to form a Blue Silver Worshipper unit.

Its health equals the combined health of the three contributing strands.

The Worshipper worships its master and cannot move. It functions as a summon unit with autonomous attack mode.

When Ye Lan examined the full description of Blue God Prophet, he was stunned by its sheer power.

To start with, the water attribute enhancement alone granted the Blue Silver Grass a 50% final health boost.

This matched the bonus from Ocean's Embrace and stacked multiplicatively with his other passive, I Want to Grow Up.

But what made Blue God Prophet truly remarkable was its active soul skill: it fused three strands of Blue Silver Grass into a single summoned entity—the Blue Silver Worshipper.

The health of the Worshipper was three times the total of the contributing strands, and its size scaled accordingly.

The fact that it was immobile wasn't really a drawback—after all, being formed from three strands of Blue Silver Grass made its attack range much broader.

Being in autonomous attack mode meant the summoned unit would act based on Ye Lan's subconscious intentions.

And the one the Worshipper revered was none other than Ye Lan himself—the one who defeated the Ancient Beast's Touch and absorbed its soul ring. To the Worshipper, Ye Lan was its god.

In the end, this soul skill granted Ye Lan nearly a fivefold increase in total life force, bringing the vitality of Blue Silver Grass to an entirely new tier.

The water attribute granted by Blue God Prophet wasn't of the Extreme Water class, which meant the bonus was only 50%, not 100%.

But Ye Lan didn't mind that at all.

Had it been an Extreme Water attribute from the beginning, the active soul skill likely wouldn't have been this broken—so the nerf to the passive effect actually raised the upper ceiling of Blue God Prophet.

Because it was water-attributed, Ye Lan believed he could find his own way to raise it to Extreme Water level over time.

Once that happened, the final health bonus would match that of Ocean's Embrace—a full 100%.

Combined with I Want to Grow Up, the result would be a complete transformation in his battle capabilities.

The Blue Silver Worshipper would boast a total vitality equal to thirty times the base health of a single Blue Silver Grass strand!

In short—no need for flashy stats; it was all about raw mechanics!

After reviewing all the soul skills, Ye Lan immediately locked in his choice: Blue God Prophet.
