Douluo: I, the Sun God

Chapter 46 Soul Power Manipulation
"As I expected, absorbing the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower transformed my attributes into Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Light. Even my original soul skills have been greatly enhanced, especially my first soul skill, Morning Light. The effect has increased by at least 20%."

Xu Yang was ecstatic. Having the ultimate attribute meant that he had taken the first step towards becoming a Titled Douluo. All that was left was to practice and accumulate soul power.

After taking several deep breaths, Xu Yang tried to calm himself down, then closed his eyes and began to meditate. Although taking the magical herb would not make his foundation unstable and he would not feel empty, the sudden increase would still make it difficult to control his soul power.

What he needed to do now was to eliminate this blockage and allow his soul power to flow as freely as his arm. To improve his control, he could only do so through meditation and repeated practice.

Xu Yang has always attached great importance to the manipulation of soul power. He often wondered why the expressiveness of the martial arts moves in the world of martial arts is so much stronger than the soul skills in this world. Later, he figured it out. The most important point is the manipulation of energy.

There is a characteristic about internal strength in many martial arts worlds, that is, when a martial artist has a weak internal strength, it is difficult for him to defeat someone who has practiced external skills for many years. However, when his internal strength becomes strong, the opposite happens.

The best representative of people with weak internal strength is Linghu Chong, while the best representative of people with strong internal strength is people like Duan Yu.

The same is true for soul power. The difference lies in the control ability.

For this purpose, Xu Yang temporarily divided soul power manipulation into four levels: enhancement, explosion, compression, and subtlety.

The so-called strengthening is similar to the ordinary moves in the world of martial arts. By manipulating the soul power, the martial soul, weapons, fists and feet are strengthened to improve one's own attack, defense and speed.

Explosion is a more advanced martial art. The top martial arts in the martial arts world are basically at this stage. Every move and every style can burst out with power several times or even dozens of times beyond the body.

Compression is not just about compressing soul power. Any soul master can do simple soul power compression if they are prepared. The compression Xu Yang wants is a more precise control of soul power, which can make his soul power higher in quality and faster to control.

As for the subtlety, it means manipulating soul power from the macro to the micro.

The latter two realms require one's own spirit, will and realm to be elevated to a certain level before they can be used freely. Compression must at least reach the Soul Sect level, and subtlety is even more difficult. It is probably impossible to do it unless you reach the Soul Sage level.

Except for 'Morning Light', the other five soul skills that Xu Yang planned are all functional and helpful for soul power manipulation. In particular, the soul skill shaping brought by the next sun scarab contains two soul power manipulation techniques: strengthening and compression.

Xu Yang practiced with all his might every day, and it took him three days to eliminate the feeling of discomfort. He reached the level before he ate the magical grass and completely consolidated his cultivation.

After consolidating his skills, Xu Yang immediately went to find Madam Ning and asked her to help him hunt for the third ring. Ning Fengzhi had already consolidated his skills a day ago and set off for the Xingdou Great Forest with Ning Haiyan and Sword Douluo Chenxin.

"Master's Wife, my cultivation has been consolidated. Let's go hunt for spirit rings!"

The voice arrived before the person arrived. Xu Yang was not the kind of person who easily suppressed his own level of cultivation. After all, the gap between Soul Venerable cultivation and Great Soul Master cultivation was there, and advancing earlier could open up a lot of distance.

"Then Uncle Gu, Rongrong is left to you!" Hearing the voice, Mrs. Ning smiled helplessly, walked to Gu Rong who was drinking tea, and handed Ning Rongrong in her arms to him.

"Don't worry! It's no problem to leave Rongrong to me. You can take that brat to hunt for spirit rings. I think he can't wait any longer!" Gu Rong took Ning Rongrong with a smile and waved his hand as if to drive her away.

Madam Ning rolled her eyes helplessly, then stood up and walked outside.

"Yang'er, let's go!" Mrs. Ning didn't waste any words. She took Xu Yang's hand and walked out of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. After three days, Ning Fengzhi and others also determined the absorption years of Xu Yang's third soul ring through the soul power pressure.

Absorb it at will for less than 10,000 years!

The extremely yang and strong medicinal power of Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower not only allowed the Sun Martial Soul to evolve into the Ultimate Martial Soul, but also strengthened his entire body from the inside out. The effect was even more amazing than the ten thousand year old whale glue, which allowed Xu Yang's endurance to reach an astonishing level.

If Ning Fengzhi hadn't been worried that he couldn't withstand the spiritual impact of the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, he would have arranged for Xu Yang to absorb the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

Large sects generally would not let their true disciples take risks. Moreover, Xu Yang's age and soul power were there, and he was not suitable for a ten thousand year soul ring at all. Xu Yang himself agreed with this.

He doesn't want to hurt himself, otherwise it will be more trouble than it is worth.

However, the fourth spirit ring must be a ten thousand year spirit ring, otherwise it would be unfair to the spirit ring configuration, right?!
Sunset Forest is not far from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. It doesn't take long for a Soul Douluo to walk there. It only took five hours. If it weren't for Xu Yang, Madam Ning could have shortened the time by more than half.

"Yang'er, do you remember the location of the sunflower field?!" Mrs. Ning asked casually while walking in the forest.

"Remember!"

"Then you lead the way!"

Xu Yang nodded and took the lead to run towards the sunflower field. He had been there twice and was quite familiar with the route. As for the soul beasts in the forest, with Madam Ning, the Soul Douluo, present, they didn't dare to get close at all.

As soon as Xu Yang approached the sunflower field, the entire field began to shake. The Sunflower King in the center instantly dived into the ground, followed by hundreds of soul beasts that used sunflowers to practice cultivation fleeing in all directions.

The sunflowers were already familiar with Xu Yang's scent, and being forcibly picked twice had caused them to have a stress response.

"This..." Seeing this scene, Xu Yang was also a little dumbfounded.

Fortunately, their target was only the Sun Scarab, so they only had to keep an eye on the scarabs flying in the sky. As a powerful Soul Douluo, Madam Ning no longer needed to judge the age of soul beasts by their characteristics, but by their soul power pressure.

With just a quick glance, Madam Ning discovered a two-meter-long sun scarab with sword-like horns on its head. According to her perception, the soul power of this soul beast was purple with a hint of black, infinitely close to that of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

"You are the one!"

Madam Ning smiled, and a slender rapier with a blue gem on the hilt appeared in her hand. The rapier was less than a finger wide, and eight soul rings of yellow, purple, and black flashed under her feet. As the third soul ring lit up, she instantly disappeared from the spot.

"So fast!"

Xu Yang didn't see how Madam Ning disappeared at all. He just felt a flash before his eyes, and Madam Ning appeared above the sun scarab. She kicked out with her long, beautiful legs and stepped directly on the hard shell of the sun scarab.
