Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 585 Dual Soul Cores of Ice and Fire!

In the cultivation process of a Soul Master, Soul Cores and Soul Rings are different; they are not necessary items, but rather like Soul Bones. Having them is a bonus, but not having them is not a big deal.

Limit Douluo like Tang Chen, Qian Daoliu, and Poseidon did not have Soul Cores, yet they still broke through to the Limit Douluo level. The absence of Soul Cores did not hinder their path to godhood—Tang Chen is the best example. He did not have a Soul Core, yet he still gained the approval of the Asura God. His ultimate failure had nothing to do with Soul Cores; rather, it was due to the interference of the Rakshasa God.

Soul cores are something that will only appear after ten thousand years; in this era, there is no such thing as a soul core.

Ultimately, even the cultivation systems in fantasy series can evolve. Although Han Feng had never studied them, he was certain that ten thousand years ago, the cultivation systems on the continent were much simpler than they are now. Even a thousand years ago, the common understanding of the first soul ring on the continent was that it was a ten-year soul ring!

Ten thousand years later, there are so many geniuses who break through to Soul Saint or even Soul Douluo before the age of twenty, so why are there only a handful who can ultimately become gods?

If we only look at their performance in their youth, those geniuses ten thousand years later are in no way inferior to the Shrek Eight Monsters of today. The Soul Master at twelve years old, the Soul King at fifteen years old, and the Soul Saint at eighteen years old—compared to today, which one of them isn't destined to become a god?

But why are there only a handful of people who can become gods after ten thousand years?

Isn't it because of the perfection of the cultivation system?

A simulated cultivation environment, soul core, soul ring age, soul bone age, rare and precious materials—all of these can create a genius in a short time, but this is not their true potential!

All of this was observed by the gods of the divine realm.

What the gods value is not the abilities a Soul Master can demonstrate before becoming a god, but the potential a Soul Master can unleash after becoming a god!

To put it in a more accessible analogy, it's like in Han Feng's previous life in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, knowing simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division was enough to make him a superior person. But in Han Feng's era, as long as you have an elementary school diploma, you can easily calculate tens of thousands or even millions of numbers!

But does this mean that junior high school students of Han Feng's era were more intelligent than people in the Sui and Tang dynasties?

If Oscar and his friends were placed ten thousand years in the future, with a more complete cultivation system and environment, the energy they could unleash would only be stronger than it is now!

Getting back to the main point, the Soul Core represents the advancement of the cultivation system over the next ten thousand years.

Although they shouldn't exist in this era, these things are perfectly clear to the gods who have witnessed immortality and the fall of all worlds.

To the gods, there are no secrets in a Soul Master's cultivation before becoming a god. If the gods wished, they could completely perfect the Soul Master's cultivation system within a hundred years!

After a Soul Master breaks through to the Title Douluo level, their power will be more or less mixed. The most typical example is Gu Rong. After breaking through to the Title Douluo level, Gu Rong had the mark of an evil Soul Master, the foundation of a defensive Soul Master, and the shadow of spatial ability.

The Soul Core is designed to solve this problem by integrating the power of Soul Masters, giving them a central training center so they don't have to worry about other things.

For example, if Gu Rong cultivates a soul core, he can choose a spatial soul core, a defensive soul core, or an evil soul core.

In addition, the Soul Core can also quickly stabilize a Title Douluo's realm and accelerate cultivation speed, which is extraordinary!

The various powers within Han Feng's body are far more diverse than those within the ancient banyan tree, including the ultimate fire, the ultimate ice, the ultimate defensive power, and the power of essence, energy, and spirit. The God of Defense and the others hope that Han Feng will eventually achieve harmony between ice and fire. In order to prevent Han Feng from becoming confused among these many powers, they will naturally also set their sights on the cultivation method of the soul core.

The ultimate goal of the God of Defense and his allies was to condense the dual soul cores of ice and fire into a final soul core that combines ice and fire!

Of course, since the Soul Core is not something that should exist in this era, the God of Defense and the others had long warned Han Feng not to reveal it to the outside world. It would be fine if it was just passed on to Qian Renxue and the others, but it was absolutely forbidden to pass it on to Liu Erlong and the others!

However, on the other hand, Qian Renxue and the others are all destined to become gods, so soul cores are merely something dispensable to them.

Although the emergence of the Heart of Balance made the final effect of this plan less crucial, it still brought great benefits to Han Feng!

A Soul Master can condense three Soul Cores: when breaking through to the level 90 Title, when breaking through to the level 95 Peerless, and finally when breaking through to the level 99 Limit!

Originally, the God of Defense and the others planned to let Han Feng condense an ice soul core or a fire soul core first, but they did not expect that Han Feng would endure for three years and break through to level 98 in one fell swoop!

In this way, there is no need to distinguish between the front and the back, and the two soul cores are condensed together!

Han Feng also had this plan!

Han Feng had already mastered the method of condensing soul cores, and with his level 98 cultivation, he easily condensed an ice soul core!

The reason it's an Ice Soul Core isn't particularly profound; it was just something I did on a whim. Actually, it could also be a Fire Soul Core.

Han Feng has received the inheritance of the dual gods of ice and fire for several years now. During these years, Han Feng has been constantly comprehending the mysteries of ice and fire. To put it bluntly, Han Feng's understanding of ice and fire is among the best in the entire continent, if not the best. With sufficient cultivation and comprehension, obtaining a soul core is not a difficult task for Han Feng.

But the problem is the second soul core.

After all, ice and fire clash. Even the Heart of Balance can't help Han Feng in this regard. The Heart of Balance can only balance power. The Soul Core is not power, but something within the cultivation system. If he wants to perfectly condense a Fire Soul Core with an Ice Soul, he can only rely on Han Feng's own understanding of the harmony between ice and fire and his control over power!

However, it's not necessarily an unsolvable problem. Han Feng has a deep understanding of the unity of ice and fire. It is indeed troublesome to condense the Fire Soul Core, but it's just troublesome!

For Han Feng, as long as he has enough patience and care, it's a sure thing!

The process of condensing the soul core was unremarkable, with nothing fancy about it; it was simply a matter of gathering energy to form a nucleus.

hum-

After an unknown amount of time, a buzzing sound that only Han Feng could hear rang out. Han Feng slowly opened his eyes, a smile flashing across his face!

Two completely opposite, ultimate attribute soul cores were swirling in Han Feng's dantian, like a Tai Chi fish, except that they were not black and white, but red and blue!

Fire and ice each occupy their own territory, clashing fiercely, yet neither invades the other, maintaining a delicate balance.

Han Feng knew that the current confrontation was only temporary. Once he broke through to the Limit Douluo level and condensed the Ice and Fire Soul Core, he would be able to completely unify ice and fire, and the power of ice and fire would be indistinguishable!

At the same time, the rewards for completing the Divine Test also arrived as scheduled!

With the arrival of the 20% affinity between the Ice and Fire Divine Positions, Han Feng subconsciously trembled. Not only was his resonance with the divine positions more pronounced, but he also developed a subtle connection with the ice and fire power permeating the world. At this moment, Han Feng felt that he didn't need to use any power; he could control the external ice and fire power in the world with just a thought!

Han Feng is not far from achieving 100% affinity with the dual godhood of ice and fire!

Immediately following, the seventh trial of the dual divine positions of ice and fire descended!

Ice God's Seventh Trial: Draw the Frost Sword, no time limit! Reward: 15% Ice God Affinity!

The Seventh Trial of the God of Fire: Draw the Holy Flame Divine Sword, no time limit! Reward: 15% affinity with the God of Fire!

The Ice God's test and the Fire God's test have always been paired up, so to be honest, Han Feng wasn't surprised at all that such similar tests would appear!

These two divine swords, however, aroused Han Feng's great interest!

If Han Feng wasn't mistaken, these two divine swords should be the inherited artifacts of the Ice God and the Fire God!

Having witnessed Tang San's Trident of the Sea God, Han Feng had been eagerly anticipating his own divine weapon!

Although the Divine Ancient Pearl is also a divine artifact, its completeness is less than one percent, lacking any of the characteristics of a divine artifact. How could it possibly satisfy Han Feng?

"Two divine swords came at once, is it so I can become a dual-wielder?!" Han Feng chuckled self-deprecatingly, suppressing his excitement as he thought to himself.

Even so, Han Feng was not in a hurry to start the divine test.

Although the artifact was powerful, Han Feng was not in a hurry to draw out his own artifact. After a year and a half of seclusion, he was getting restless and was in a state of extreme tranquility.

Moreover, with his beloved wife away, Han Feng hadn't tasted meat for over a year. How could he not be hungry and thirsty?

The divine artifact will never run away; the way of cultivation is to maintain a balance between tension and relaxation!

It's really just an excuse to say that once you've tasted the sweetness, you'll crave more!
