Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 20 Wuhun's Ten Core Competitiveness

According to a book called The Ten Core Competitivenesses of Martial Souls, the maximum age of a soul master's first soul ring is 423 years, and this is something only a few geniuses can achieve. Most ordinary soul masters only have about 200 years of age.

Liuxing knew that the book "The Ten Core Competencies of Wuhun" was the work of the protagonist's teacher, the master, ten thousand years ago. It was written after referring to the books in the Wuhun Hall, the overlord of the continent ten thousand years ago.

However, it was unexpected that after ten thousand years, the book was still there, and everyone still remembered the master, but the true origin of this knowledge, the Spirit Hall, had been gradually forgotten.

In Liuxing's personal opinion, although there is some truth in this book, it is not much. People's physical fitness cannot be generalized. Martial souls are also divided into types and qualities, and the improvement in physical fitness is also different. How can the so-called limit cover all soul masters?

If a soul master with extraordinary talent and physical strength capable of absorbing a 600-year soul ring follows what this book says, that the limit of the first soul ring is 423 years, and chooses to absorb a soul ring that is more than 400 years old just to be safe, then this book is misleading.

Of course, although the book "Ten Core Competitiveness of Martial Souls" is not of much use to geniuses and soul masters trained by sects, it is still somewhat useful for ordinary soul masters. At least it can let ordinary civilian soul masters know what year of soul ring they can absorb without danger, and there will be no mistakes such as a one-ring soul master absorbing a thousand-year soul ring. However, ordinary soul masters do not have the ability to hunt thousand-year soul beasts. Most of them are ten-year soul beasts, and the first soul ring is white.

This book was found by Liuxing in the library of Dilongmen. Nan Shuishui also told him that this book is somewhat useful to ordinary people, but it is of little use to the sects with inheritance.

Take Nan Qiuqiu for example. Although her Rouge Dragon martial soul is a beast martial soul, the Rouge Dragon is actually more like a mage and does not greatly enhance the body. However, with the training from the Earth Dragon Sect since childhood, various soul beast meats, and medicinal baths, Nan Qiuqiu's first soul ring can only absorb for 450 years. If it is not for safety reasons, 500 years should be no problem.

For civilians who have never had enough to eat since childhood and have weak bodies, even if they awaken a powerful beast martial soul, the first soul ring will only last for about two hundred years at most, and it will easily fail if it lasts longer.

Of course, if it is a twin martial soul, that is another matter.

After all, the physical fitness of twin martial souls is far superior to that of top-level beast martial souls. Even if a civilian who has not had enough to eat since childhood and has a weak body awakens a twin martial soul, he can still absorb the first soul ring for about four hundred years. If he can be trained from a young age and lay a good foundation, he can absorb soul rings of seven or eight hundred years, and the second soul ring can even absorb soul rings of a thousand years.

As Nan Qiuqiu obtained his first soul ring, Liuxing became more and more looking forward to the awakening of his and Liuying's martial spirits. He didn't know whether he and Liuying could absorb soul rings of higher levels.

Since the absorption of soul rings depends on physical fitness, can Liuying absorb the thousand-year soul ring with her physical fitness?
After Liu Xing's observation of Nan Qiuqiu, combined with his own physical fitness, he felt that there should be no problem. However, he did not know much about absorbing spirit rings after all. This kind of thing still needed to be checked by the elders. Nan Shuishui and Luanyu were both experienced people, and they must know more about absorbing spirit rings than he could guess.

Liuxing mentioned this matter to Nan Shuishui, and Nan Shuishui also thought about it seriously. In her opinion, it is better to be safe when absorbing the first soul ring. Even if it is necessary to absorb it across years, there is no need to get a thousand-year soul ring right away. That would be too risky.

Of course, she also knew that once Meteor and Firefly's first spirit ring was a thousand years old, they would have surpassed 99% of the spirit masters at the beginning, and it was very likely that they would stand at the pinnacle of the continent in the future and become the ultimate Douluo that everyone looked up to.

Nan Shuishui felt both worried and excited. Liuying's physical qualities, in her opinion, were truly exceptional, even at such a young age. In two years, with natural treasures and ample medicinal baths or spirit beast meat, the two little ones, provided their martial spirits awakened without issue, might truly have a chance of absorbing the millennium's first spirit ring. The thought stirred Nan Shuishui's heart. After all, they were her adopted daughter and son. The higher their achievements, the happier she would be. With them looking after her, she no longer had to worry about the future of Dilongmen and Nan Qiuqiu.

However, all this must happen after the two awaken their martial spirits. If they awaken useless martial spirits, everything will be over. After all, the origins of Meteor and Firefly are a mystery, and martial spirits are inherited through blood. What if their parents are ordinary civilians?

Of course, in Nan Shuishui's opinion, these two gifted people, even if their parents are commoners, their awakened martial spirits will not be that bad.

Although awakening martial souls depends entirely on luck, there are also rules. The better the life, the more children have been exposed to natural treasures and medicinal baths since childhood, and have eaten soul beast meat every day, the more likely their awakened innate soul power will be higher than that of ordinary civilians.

If ordinary civilians want to turn their lives around, they can only rely on mutation. Only a few can stand out, and most of them remain mediocre.

The family sect can allow the descendants to awaken their own martial spirits stably, and their innate spirit power will not be low. Unless they encounter a malignant mutation, they can only blame themselves for their bad luck.

Although Liuxing felt that his and Liuying's martial souls would not be bad, he was still a little nervous before the results came out. Although given their situations, even if it was a useless martial soul, they could still grow up.

But who would want to have a useless martial soul when they can have one at the top level?
In the book about the ten core competitive strengths of martial spirits that Liu Xing had read, the master had written a sentence, 'There are no useless martial spirits, only useless spirit masters', which made Liu Xing feel that it was hard to describe and he really wanted to complain.

Others may not know, but how can Meteor, who has watched the first part, not know what kind of existence the Master is? No matter how you look at it, this sentence is referring to the Master himself. Yes, yes, there are indeed no useless martial spirits, only useless spirit masters. This is the absolute truth.

I don’t know what the master was thinking. He said such words without thinking. The previous protagonist was also abstract, but he was still excited by this sentence.

What made Liu Xing even more unable to hold back was that this sentence had been passed down for thousands of years and was still being passed on from mouth to mouth even in this era, making him want to say something but stop himself from saying it.

There are no useless martial spirits, only useless spirit masters. Is that because they want to be useless? They have to be useless!

What makes Liu Xing even more speechless is that this theory from ten thousand years ago has been popular for ten thousand years without any innovation. Liu Xing believes that the people in this Douluo Continent are more or less seriously ill.

However, these have little to do with him, and he has no intention of becoming a theoretical master. He just complains when he is free.
