Douluo Continent: What should I do if I don't have a cheat system?

Chapter 280 Soul Ring Speculation Resolves Soul Guidance Device Array

The energy storage device is needed not only by the teleportation array, but also by other soul tools.

The fact that the soul tools are still working normally without any problems can only be attributed to good luck.

Soul tools that don't malfunction are made using higher-grade materials.

This is a waste when there is no advancement in the world.

Some Soul Masters prefer to use high-grade materials to make low-grade Soul Tools during the Soul Master promotion exam, believing that better materials will increase the success rate.

This is actually just a psychological effect.

Regardless of whether it is a high-grade or low-grade material, their properties will be somewhat different, and the intensity applied when inscribing the rule runes will also be different; they are completely different.

So just use the same materials you use for practice, and continue using them for the assessment.

Purchasing higher-level materials specifically for the exam may increase the likelihood of failure due to fewer uses.

However, the environment has changed now, and what was wasted in the past can no longer be considered wasteful.

Even if it can withstand it, it will still be in an overloaded state sooner or later and problems will still occur.

Therefore, based on the data parameters of the top-grade materials, Jerry deduced the parameters of the lower-grade materials and tried them out with the lower-grade materials.

Once all the data for the materials was collected, Jerry posted the updated parameters of the energy storage device directly to the forum for the Soul Master major at the Spirit Hall Academy. He pinned it to the top, highlighted it, and pushed it to all Soul Masters to ensure they could see it.

Meanwhile, Jerry also posted a message about advancing to the World Championship on the official website of the Spirit Hall.

The message outlined the benefits of this global advancement, the most direct of which is evident to everyone: the lifespan of all humanity has increased, with many elderly people experiencing a reversal of aging, reaching a prime age even if they don't become young again.

A person in their prime suddenly appears as a young person again.

The young people are just a little younger; they haven't changed much.

If the average lifespan used to be 100 years, then reaching 80 years old would have meant being halfway to the grave.

Life expectancy has increased, but we don't know exactly how much. If it increases to 200 years old, would 80-year-olds still be considered elderly?

Besides making humans younger, it also tells everyone that after the world advanced, the concentration of soul power between heaven and earth increased a hundredfold.

After the concentration of soul power becomes a hundred times, it will be easier for soul masters to cultivate. As for raising the cultivation limit, Jerry did not announce it, since very few people can cultivate to the limit.

Living under a concentration of one hundred times the soul power, descendants are more likely to have soul power when they awaken their martial soul, and their innate soul power will also be much higher than before.

In addition to the soul power between heaven and earth increasing a hundredfold, the gravity between heaven and earth will also gradually increase a hundredfold.

This increase in gravity is happening slowly and will take a long time, so please don't panic.

With the increase in gravity, the physical strength of all living beings will increase imperceptibly, and the time required to absorb spirit rings will also be greatly increased in the future.

Jerry actually has a guess about the age limit of spirit rings.

Soul Masters have nine Soul Rings. In the past, only the ninth Soul Ring would absorb a 100,000-year Soul Ring, and most Soul Masters didn't have a 100,000-year Soul Ring to absorb.

According to the data compiled by the master, the first spirit ring has a lifespan of 423 years, the second spirit ring has a lifespan of 764 years, the third spirit ring has a lifespan of 1760 years, the fourth spirit ring has a lifespan of 5000 years, the fifth spirit ring has a lifespan of 12000 years, the sixth spirit ring has a lifespan of 20000 years, the seventh spirit ring has a lifespan of 50000 years, the eighth spirit ring has a lifespan of less than 100,000 years, and the ninth spirit ring has a lifespan of around 100,000 years.

Therefore, the total lifespan of a Soul Master's nine Soul Rings is less than 300,000 years.

Based on this calculation, the physical strength of a Title Douluo is only around 300,000 years.

If you have twin martial souls, your body will explode if you absorb soul rings at the same time because your physical strength is not enough.

This is why twin martial souls only dare to add spirit rings to their second martial soul after the first martial soul has been cultivated to the level of Soul Douluo or Title Douluo.

During the process of cultivating to the level of a Title Douluo, if one does not absorb to the limit, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the body's strength.

Moreover, if you're lucky, you might encounter some soul bones during this process. Absorbing these soul bones will increase your body's strength, which is equivalent to expanding your available space, giving your second martial soul room to absorb soul rings.

Actually, there is another way to cultivate two martial souls at the same time without needing a soul bone.

When a Soul Master reaches level 10, according to the information compiled by Yu Xiaogang, the maximum age of the first Soul Ring is 423 years. If a Twin Martial Soul absorbs a 200-year Soul Ring for each of the two Martial Souls, the total age is 400 years.

Since the body strength does not exceed that of a level 10 Soul Master, and absorbing a 200-year Soul Ring is easier and safer for a Soul Master, the phenomenon of body explosion will not occur.

Similarly, subsequent spirit rings are absorbed in the same way.

This method of cultivation is easy to absorb and carries no risk of the body exploding.

However, there is a drawback: absorbing spirit rings in this way will weaken each individual spirit.

However, human nature is greedy, and some people wanted to absorb the soul rings of the greatest age at the same time, so the first soul master with twin martial souls exploded and died.

The second person to possess twin martial souls was Bibi Dong.

She should cultivate a martial soul first, so that the martial soul won't become weak.

After obtaining the Soul Bone and absorbing it, which enhanced his physical strength, he began cultivating his second Martial Soul.

If the total age of all the spirit rings of the first spirit is calculated to be 300,000 years, then the total age of the spirit rings absorbed by the second spirit is at most 900,000 years.

The prerequisite is that you have enough 100,000-year-old soul beasts to absorb.

Nine hundred thousand years is the theoretical upper limit; in reality, it's impossible to reach that.

Soul beasts can cultivate for up to 990,000 years, and of course they can cultivate for up to a million years if they are not afraid of tribulations.

Therefore, the upper limit for a soul beast is one million years.

The world is balanced. Since soul beasts that live for 200,000 to 1 million years can be born, soul masters who can absorb them will also be born.

In the past, the ninth spirit ring was only 100,000 years old. What if a spirit beast with 200,000 years old appeared?

Should it be absorbed or not?

Absorbing it might cause the body to explode.

If they cannot be absorbed, why would the world give birth to soul beasts that are over 100,000 years old?

Based on this, Jerry deduced that the upper limit of a Limit Soul Master's Soul Rings is nine million years.

Absorbing a million-year soul ring is very difficult, but sacrificing one like the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is possible.

This is just the limit; ordinary people can't even reach this limit.

Leaving aside million-year-old soul beasts, let's talk about two-hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts. Is there really no way to absorb them except through sacrifice?

The strength of an ordinary Title Douluo is slightly weaker than that of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

If all those soul beasts, some over 100,000 years old, were to come out, could a soul master still withstand them?

Since the Soul Masters couldn't withstand it, why didn't the Silver Dragon King directly counterattack humanity after being injured and descending to the mortal realm?

That can only mean one thing: in the past, human soul masters could absorb soul rings that were over 100,000 years old on their own.

In addition to physical strength, a person who absorbs a soul ring that has been around for ten thousand years must also have mental strength that can withstand the soul shock.

To absorb a spirit ring that is over 100,000 years old, one's physical strength and soul must be exceptionally powerful, capable of withstanding the spirit power and soul energy contained within the spirit ring.

However, Douluo Continent only has meditation methods and lacks cultivation techniques for physical strength and soul. Without cultivation techniques, how can one improve?

Why is it lacking?

There are people, or perhaps gods, who deliberately severed the lineage of human soul masters and cut off their path of cultivation.

The purpose of doing this is quite simple: there are only a few rules, and with the rapid development of humanity, many talented Soul Masters will inevitably emerge in the future.

If they were to cultivate themselves into gods, they would seize power from those currently in power.

Gods are people who cultivate themselves to become gods. They are selfish at first. They have worked hard to become gods and have divine power. How could they easily hand it over?

Therefore, the gods of the divine realm severed the inheritance of the entire continent, not only for soul beasts but also for soul masters.

It wasn't until later, when he realized he was restricted by his divine position, that he wanted to break free from those restrictions.

However, the path to cultivation in the lower realms has been severed, making it very difficult, if not impossible, for one to cultivate into a god.

That is, the sea god sought another way out, becoming a god through faith.

All other gods attained godhood through laws.

The explanation of the World Advancement was not only provided on the Spirit Hall's official website, but also in a special section in the next issue of the Spirit Newspaper, which will focus on explaining the World Advancement.

After seeing the explanation of the world's advancement, everyone shouted excitedly.

Because one of the points mentioned something that is relevant to everyone.

One article in the Martial Soul newspaper mentioned that ordinary people living in places with high concentrations of soul power have a chance to develop their own soul power.

This information has now been confirmed; the places with the highest concentration of Spirit Hall energy, besides the training rooms, are under the Pillar of Heaven.

Recently, many ordinary people living under the pillar supporting the sky have developed soul power, thus embarking on the path of soul masters.

Furthermore, the Martial Soul newspaper also made a prediction that if the world advances again, the concentration of soul power in the world will reach a thousand times.

With a soul power concentration a thousand times greater, there will be no ordinary people left on the entire continent.

Although this is just speculation from the Spirit Hall, it is highly credible.

Therefore, many people now check themselves daily to see if they can generate soul power, while hoping that the world will advance again.

Why did Jerry release this news? Because the two world advancements were like the end of the world. Although the Spirit Hall provided protection, they left an indelible and terrifying shadow in the hearts of many people.

One cannot go far on the path of cultivation if one carries this fear with them.

Sharing the speculation in advance is just to give everyone some mental preparation.

People don't pay much attention to their mindset right now, but Jerry wants to gradually guide them towards a better one.

In today's world, cultivation has become easier, and becoming a strong person is even easier. However, without a mindset that matches one's strength, many problems will arise on the path of cultivation.

It's like giving a newborn baby the power of a Title Douluo; it brings no benefit other than destruction.

The teleportation array problem is solved, the phone problem is solved, and my clone is working hard as well.

Jerry began to examine the anti-gravity device in his floating courtyard.

You only need to adjust the basic gravity parameters, but gravity increases every month, so it's impossible to adjust it every month.

Therefore, Jerry modified the gravity array.

A rule rune has been added that checks the current gravity once a month and then adjusts it to the current gravity.

As soon as this rule rune was modified, Jerry's own floating courtyard rose slightly, returning to its original position.

However, through this incident, Jerry realized that important facilities should never be equipped with fixed rule runes in the future.

Don't underestimate the power of just adding a detection rule rune; it can give many formations and soul tools adaptive capabilities.

With an adaptive capability, these devices will not be affected by external factors and can continue to be used even if the world advances again in the future.

Having solved the three problems of teleportation array, energy storage device, and gravity, I can say that I have completed the task assigned by the Grand Elder.

After this world advancement, Jerry must first find out about the other undiscovered effects.

Start with the formation master profession.

Many formations are probably unusable now.

The formation operates by borrowing the soul power between heaven and earth, so it is closely related to the soul power between heaven and earth.

According to the previous rules and runes, absorbing the same amount of energy caused an overload, and the formation simply could not function.

This is easy to solve; you can simply modify the rule runes.

However, there aren't many array masters now, since this profession developed relatively late. As far as we know, level six array masters are already the limit.

Tang San was able to become a level seven formation master entirely because of his talent, his memories of two lifetimes, and his early cultivation of spiritual power techniques.

Currently, apart from Jerry, Tang San's formation level is probably the highest in human society.

However, Tang San's rote learning method is unacceptable. He can set up formations, but if he just applies them mechanically, he will only have the form.

Now that the world has advanced, all the formations should be unusable.

The formation cannot absorb soul power a hundred times more concentrated than the outside world, so of course it cannot function.

Jerry needed to modify the array's environment by adding a rule rune that detects the surrounding soul power concentration. This way, the array can adjust itself regardless of how the external soul power concentration changes in the future.

The only change to the formation was this: simply post a thread on the Spirit Hall Academy's formation major forum, pin it, highlight it, and then push it to the top.

Students majoring in formation mastery who haven't graduated yet can receive materials through this push notification.

At this moment, Tang San was researching a level seven formation, a new formation, which he had been unable to set up successfully for a long time.

Moreover, this level seven formation is very important, as it combines several level six formations. Learning it is like reviewing these level six formations again.

Tang San had learned all the level six formations that constituted a level seven formation, but when it came to combining them to set up a level seven formation, it stumped him.

It's been four months, and we're stuck here. This has driven Tang San to the brink of a mental breakdown several times.

The main reason is that Tang San was not a student, so he was not taught or his learning progress was not monitored.

After the trainees discovered the problem, they immediately reported it.

The Spirit Hall's decision was that, possibly due to the world's advancement, everyone should continue their research, and regardless of whether they could set up the formation, everything would be decided after Jerry returned.

Sure enough, Jerry solved the formation problem just a few days after he returned.

If Tang San were to attempt to create a formation before level seven again at this point, he would likely discover...

It's not that this level seven formation is difficult, but that all the formations I learned before have become ineffective.

such a pity!

There was no one to guide me.

Working in isolation.

The vehicle's blueprints are still incorrect.

In the end, it will all be for naught.

I wonder how Tang San will react when he finds out about this.
