"We are rich!"
Cairo and Rohan laughed excitedly. Emrys was not to be outdone. There was surprisingly a wide grin on his face. Even though he wanted to suppress his excitement, he failed.
By now, he had already extracted Soul Force from every wolf. He also confirmed his theory. The Elementary Bronze Soul Beast provides him with 100 Soul Points while Intermediate and Advanced Bronze Soul Beast could provide 300 and 500 Soul Points respectively.
He obtained 500 Soul Points from the Wolf King, 500 Soul Points from the corpses of five Elementary Bronze Wolves, and another 2,100 Soul Points from Intermediate Bronze Wolves, obtaining a total of 3,100 Soul Points.

Soul Point: 4822.
Unique Skills: Soul Orb Enhancement, Soul Force Extraction.]
.....
Emrys thought for a while and secretly added 200 Points to an Elite-leveled Green Soul Orb, ranking it up to Master Level.
"Have the two of you nurtured your Soul Marks with Green Soul Orbs?" Emrys asked.
Rohan and Cairo shook their heads.
"I could have nurtured my Soul Mark right after advancing to a Bronze Soul Master, however, I at least wanted to use a Master-leveled Green Soul Orb. However, buying such a Soul Orb from the Trade Association will cost millions of Credits. As for finding a Master-leveled Green Soul Orb, it depends on luck at our level of strength," Rohan sighed bitterly.
"I've been waiting to obtain a Master-leveled Green Soul Orb as well," Cairo added.
As long as a Soul Master has the ability and credits, they'll definitely want to nurture their Soul Marks with higher-level Soul Orbs. Rohan and Cairo were no exception.
Anyway, as long as they are still Bronze Soul Masters despite advancing to the Advanced Level, they'll have the chance to nurture their Soul Marks using a Soul Orb. They can definitely afford to wait.
Without hesitation, Emrys took out the two Master-leveled Green Soul Orbs and gave them, saying, "Before entering the abandoned mansion, I was lucky enough to obtain a Master-leveled Green Soul Orb. With another one obtained from killing the Wolf King, you two can have one Master-leveled Green Soul Orb each and nurture your Soul Marks."
"This..."
Rohan and Cairo were stunned at first. They did not expect Emrys to easily take out the Master-leveled Green Soul Orbs and give them, not to mention one of these two Soul Orbs obtained by him outside this mysterious abandoned mansion.
They wanted to say something, however, they were interrupted by Emrys: "Don't refuse. We don't know what kind of danger we'll be facing up ahead. It is better to nurture our Soul Marks and strengthen our Origin abilities. Hurry up and start nurturing your Soul Marks!"
Emrys didn't give them a chance to say another word. He anticipated that they might have something to say if he lingered. So, after finishing his statement, Emrys decisively turned and left, leaving Rohan and Cairo behind. Rohan and Cairo had just opened their mouths to ask Emrys about the two Master-leveled Green Soul Orbs. They wondered if they were to use the two Master-leveled Green Soul Orbs, what would he do, considering he was also a Bronze Soul Master now and needed to nurture his Soul Mark.
However, since Emrys had already left the scene, they had no choice but to find a safer place nearby and nurture their Soul Marks while waiting for Emrys to return.
Leaving the two of them behind, Emrys walked to the place where he killed the Wolf King. There, he took out another Elite-leveled Green Soul Orb and started adding Soul Points.
-200.
Upgraded to Master Level.
-400.
Upgraded to Epic Level.
-800.
Upgraded to Legendary Level.
-1600.
Upgraded to Mythical Level.
Each time Emrys added Soul Points, the Soul Orb in his hand glowed brighter and brighter. Eventually, it became so luminous that Emrys found it difficult to gaze directly at it. Thankfully, the intense brightness subsided very soon, revealing the true form of a Mythical-leveled Green Soul Orb.
Green Soul Orbs are typically bronze in color. The depth of the hue and the concentration of Soul Force within determine the quality of the Soul Orb.
The current Mythical-leveled Green Soul Orb in Emrys's hand appeared resplendent, exuding an aura of unparalleled power. Simultaneously, a strange marking flickered intermittently on the surface of the Soul Orb. However, it was not consistent; sometimes the marking would appear, and other times it would vanish.
"Finally, a second Mythical-leveled Soul Orb is in my hand!"
Emrys grinned widely while observing the Mythical-leveled Green Soul Orb. However, his smile disappeared when he looked at his remaining Soul Points.
[Soul Points - 1622.]
Upgrading an Elite-leveled Green Soul Orb to Master Level cost him 200 Soul Points while upgrading another Elite-leveled Green Soul Orb cost him 3,000 Soul Points. This reduced the original 4,822 Soul Points to a mere 1,622 Soul Points.
However, he was not worried. As long as he hunts down Soul Beasts, he can obtain a lot of Soul Points.
Unbeknownst to Emrys, someone's mouth was twitching in pain while observing him waste so much Soul Essence.
The ethereal, unseen presence of the beautiful lady had never left Emrys's side. She desired to train him, but before that, she wished to observe him closely.
Upon returning to Emrys's home with him, she discovered that Emrys's mother was a powerful Soul Master. However, Slivya was not powerful enough to sense her presence.
Nevertheless, Slivya could still be considered one of the most influential figures in the entire Infinite Soul Star.
The beautiful lady couldn't comprehend why Slivya was living in such a small city located on one of the weakest sides of the Infinite Soul Star. However, she speculated that it might have something to do with the curse on Emrys's body.
When Emrys was breaking through to Bronze Soul Master, the Void Phoenix emerged from his body, unfurling its massive wings above his head. It drew in the Space Elements from the surroundings, aiding Emrys in a subtle transformation where his body was slightly strengthened and his Soul River expanded.
The invisible, charming lady, hidden from the world's view, was unable to contain her astonishment at that time. She could have never imagined that Emrys's Soul Mark originated from one of the rarest and most monstrous creatures in the entire universe—the Void Phoenix.
