Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 187: Electrolux and Tang San's relationship grows closer.

"I did it!"

Six months later, at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, Yu Tianheng roared and used his lightning power to levitate two thumb-sized iron balls.

After accomplishing this, Yu Tianheng also discovered that his control over soul power and lightning power had become even more refined.

In addition, Yu Tianheng also sensed that his faint spiritual power seemed to be able to combine with the power of thunder... no, not thunder, but some kind of magnetic field.

This ability allows Yu Tianheng to perceive everything within a hundred meters, and the range should expand as his strength increases.

The problem is that it consumes a lot of mental energy. If used continuously, he would feel drowsy after only half an hour. However, the advantage is that once he recovers, he feels more mentally sharp.

This can also be considered a method of cultivating spiritual power, and the principle is similar to the method of increasing spiritual power by restoring it after it has been depleted.

It's very primitive and simple, but compared to ordinary meditation methods for cultivating soul power, this method is much faster. However, it can leave you physically and mentally exhausted during the process.

An excited Yu Tianheng found Tang San to share his joy and asked, "Captain, what do you think should be a name for this ability of mine?"

"Electromagnetic overclocking".

After conducting a series of tests on Yu Tianheng, Tang San gave him this name.

"Your ability is a property derived from the element of lightning, or electricity, combined with mental power to form a kind of domain-like ability."

"For you at present, this field can only be used for exploration, but with continued development in the future, it may be possible to control the world's magnetic field."

"Moreover, in this state, all your physical attributes are enhanced exponentially, far exceeding your amplification soul skill, especially your facial features and skin, which become extremely sensitive."

"This is beyond the perception of ordinary Soul Masters of the same level."

"Therefore, I named it: Overclocking."

In Tang San's eyes, if Yu Tianheng continues to develop this electromagnetic overclocking technology in the future, he might be able to control all the world's phenomena.

The members of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family are obsessed with dragon transformation and the destructive power of lightning, but in Tang San's view, the magnetism derived from lightning, or rather electricity, is the real key element.

If one can control electromagnetic force, wouldn't that be far superior to anything like dragon bloodline or lightning?

Dragon transformation can strengthen bloodlines and increase physical strength, but if one can temper the body with electromagnetic power and the magnetic field of the entire Douluo Star, what does dragon transformation amount to?

No matter how powerful a dragon is, it is still just a creature. How can it compare to the electromagnetic force, one of the four fundamental forces of the universe?

Of course, with Yu Tianheng's current abilities, even if he becomes a Title Douluo and breaks through level 100, he will not be able to control electromagnetic interaction. However, if he continues to develop with this power, it is not impossible for a Title Douluo to crush a level 100 god.

After all, judging from the original work, the divine power used by the gods was only one level higher in quality than soul power, and could not be compared with the foundation of the entire universe.

"Electromagnetic overclocking? A novel name, but I think it's acceptable." Yu Tianheng agreed to the name, then asked, "So, my next development method will be to continuously increase the volume and weight of the sphere and change the shape of the metal being manipulated, right?"

"That's right, this is still about improving your control."

Tang San nodded, then added, "However, it's not impossible to use it in attacks. The two ends of a magnet repel each other. If you can find the laws of electromagnetic fields, what kind of effect would it have if a small metal ball were pushed away by a strong repulsive force?"

"It will be very fast." During his practice of controlling the metal ball, Yu Tianheng would occasionally shoot the metal ball out, and the speed was faster than an arrow shot from an ordinary bow.

If the electromagnetic force were increased, and the speed were even faster, Yu Tianheng could not even imagine how much destructive power it would cause.

"That's right, it will be very fast, but ordinary metal balls cannot withstand friction with the air." Tang San shook his head.

"I know about friction. Rubbing your hands together will generate heat, but is there also friction between the air and the ball?" Yu Tianheng asked, puzzled.

"Of course."

Pushing up his probe glasses that had been sliding up and down his nose, Tang San gave an example that Yu Tianheng could understand: "When a person runs, they feel the wind in their face. That's actually the air hindering the person from running fast. Soul Masters can run fast simply because our physical abilities are stronger than ordinary people. Agility-type Soul Masters are even more so. When using Soul Skills, a barely visible protective film will automatically appear on their body surface, which can repel the air on both sides as much as possible, thereby reducing friction."

"To give another example, meteorites, when they fall from the sky, usually come with flames and a long tail. This is because they are going too fast and are violently rubbed against the air, causing them to burn."

"From this perspective, no substance is 'fire-resistant,' they just have different ignition temperatures. Ignition temperature is the temperature at which an object can be ignited."

Yu Tianheng recalled picking up the small ball that had been shot away and feeling a temperature higher than usual. He immediately realized that Tang San was right.

Moreover, he also embraced the new concept of "ignition point".

However, Yu Tianheng would not deliberately promote it, since it was Tang San who first proposed it and he hadn't published it, so he couldn't let it circulate and be misused by others.

"Therefore, when you practice, you need to find some metals with a high ignition point," Tang San concluded. "However, for now, ordinary steel beads are sufficient."

After Yu Tianheng came Huo Wu.

Regarding the development of gravity, Huo Wu has also found some tricks, and is now able to "ascend" without relying on her martial soul, using only her first soul skill: the Solar Ring.

However, this "ascension" was merely a suspension, with a maximum height of only three meters above the ground, and it was shaky and extremely unstable.

Moreover, during each experiment, Huo Wu found that she would become very dirty and covered in dust.

"This is gravity. You're attracting dust from the air to yourself." Tang San smiled, realizing that his guess was correct. The Sun Goddess's levitation was indeed due to gravity, not because her martial soul itself consumed some of its soul power to levitate.

"I've already felt the power of gravity, but is there a way to stop the dust from getting on me? Taking a shower is such a hassle," said Huo Wu, adding that she now takes ten showers a day.

Originally a fire-attribute soul master, she disliked water. After her martial soul changed from the Hokage to the Sun Goddess, she was much better off, but she still didn't really like it.

How can she stand taking ten showers a day?

"It's not a big problem. You can try making the solar rings smaller, so that they don't wrap around your body, but instead condense in front of you."

Following Tang San's suggestion, Huo Wu immediately experimented, condensing a small solar ring in front of her hands, with a diameter of only thirty centimeters.

Then, under Huo Wu's control, countless dust particles around her moved closer to the center.

Gradually.

It is composed of a spherical "stone" made up of various dust particles in the air.

Looking at the fist-sized "star," Tang San glanced thoughtfully at Huo Wu and said, "Not bad. If you could create a vacuum environment, create more of them, and add some other elements, you could become a creator god."

Huo Wu thought Tang San was joking, but this method used less soul power, and the dust wouldn't stick to her. Once she improved her control, she could use it on herself and find a way to repel the dust.

only--

"There's so much dirt in the air?"

How much dust do we inhale every day?

Tang San said, "There's no need to be so afraid. I can tell you clearly that if there were no dust in the air, there would be no life in this world. The sunlight alone would be enough to destroy all living things on earth."

"As for exactly how much dust..."

"I haven't studied it, but if all the dust in the world were to condense, it would likely create a new continent no smaller than the Douluo Continent."

Although she didn't know if it was true or not, Huo Wu was willing to believe Tang San, after all, he was a master of martial spirit theory.

After Yu Tianheng and Huo Wu, no one came to find Tang San. After all, although gravity and electromagnetism have extremely high upper limits, their lower limits are also low. They have corresponding attributes, and the threshold for entry is not high. They can be perceived through various observation methods and thus make progress.

As for the others, Yu Feng and Bai Chenxiang need specific training environments; Aos Luo mainly focuses on training the use of inertia. All three of them need to practice hard.

Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling, on the other hand, relied on their own martial soul skills to create their own combination skills similar to formations.

Graphite and stone mill are used in training martial spirit fusion techniques.

Dugu Yan used her fourth soul skill, Azure Scale Pearl, as a base to integrate her own toxins.

Zhu Zhuqing is still searching for the "refining circuit" and "maintenance circuit" within her martial soul. She has made some progress and is currently strengthening her training in controlling her mental and soul power.

And blue silver...

As for the remaining Xiao Wu and Guang Ling, one began to combine her own soft skills with the Three-Sword Style in terms of creating her own soul skills; the other focused on soul tools, and in terms of creating her own soul skills, she considered the fusion of four soul skills.

After seeing Huo Wu off, Ilex's voice rang in Tang San's mind: "You are quite popular with girls. Besides Xiao Wu and Guang Ling, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Huo Wu all have feelings for you. Especially Zhu Zhuqing, she is completely obedient to you. I can't tell whether she likes you or sees you as her master or something."

"It's just a case of admiring the strong," Tang San said dismissively. "These past few days, you've learned quite a bit about martial souls and soul beasts. What do you think of the cultivation system in this world?"

"How should I put it? Although the cultivation system is created by humans, the cultivation methods in this world are very strange, especially the fact that one needs the soul ring of a soul beast to break through to a higher realm. I don't understand it at all. It feels like there is an entity deliberately targeting soul beasts." Ilex also understands the principle of "those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts," but in his opinion, soul beasts cannot be considered a race at all. Even if they have intelligence, they have spent too many years to acquire that intelligence, so their habits are difficult to change.

Unless, they transform into human form, integrate into humanity, and gradually accept change.

In Electrolux's view, this situation must have occurred because the soul beasts were once very powerful and oppressed humanity. Then, one or more extremely powerful beings emerged among humanity, beings that surpassed ordinary gods, who eliminated the powerful soul beasts and changed the world rules of this continent.

As for the divine realm interfering and altering the rules of the plane...

Electrox thought it was unlikely. Even his remnant soul could sense the existence of the divine realm... Those gods shouldn't be powerful enough to change the rules of a world, right?

At most, it involves utilizing its rules.

At least, most of the gods in the divine realm probably couldn't do that.

"It is indeed aimed at soul beasts, but this is not a situation that can be changed at present. However, in the future, the cultivation of martial souls must get rid of soul beasts." Tang San flipped through an ancient book he had borrowed from the Royal Library, "Identification of Transformation of 100,000-Year-Old Soul Beasts," which recorded twenty existing cases of transformed soul beasts.

Of these, three were killed by human Soul Douluos or Title Douluos, while the remaining seventeen escaped and their whereabouts are unknown.

The methods of identification recorded therein are basically only one: Soul Douluo and Title Douluo can tell whether a Soul Beast has transformed into human form.

A very rudimentary judgment.

According to Tang San's judgment, as long as one's mental strength is strong, one can determine whether a soul beast has taken human form after 100,000 years. However, for soul masters of this era, only at the Soul Douluo and Title Douluo levels will the effects of mental strength gradually become apparent.

Of course, if a person knows enough about soul beasts, even if their mental strength is not strong, they can still make a preliminary judgment based on the personality, behavior and other aspects shown by the transformed soul beasts. This only applies when the transformed soul beasts first enter human society and have not been affected by human society.

"Xiao Wu has already confessed to me and told me how to condense a soul ring, but without the corresponding energy, she cannot condense it. The soul power she cultivates herself cannot be used as the energy source for condensing a soul ring."

"Secondly, the most important aspect of condensing a soul ring is the flow and circulation of soul power within it, which is the key to releasing soul skills."

"The soul rings obtained from soul beasts have the aura, bloodline, and soul of the soul beasts. When paired with a martial soul, they can autonomously evolve into derivatives suitable for the martial soul. However, when they are autonomously condensed, they depend entirely on what soul skills the martial soul can transform into."

"Building the loop yourself would be a considerable undertaking."

Energy, circuit.

These two are key to forming an autonomous soul ring.

Tang San knew that he had one chance to independently condense a spirit ring, which was to find the Blue Silver King and ask him to help him condense a spirit ring that could evolve with his own cultivation.

If the aura within the bloodline cannot be changed, the soul skill of that soul ring will definitely be the Blue Silver Overlord Spear.

Nothing more than inheriting the legacy of the previous Blue Silver Emperor.

To be honest, Tang San didn't think much of this soul skill. Although it could kill enemies on the battlefield at close range and break through enemies one by one at a distance, his Blue Silver Emperor was on the path of life, so why would he need an attack soul skill?

He has no shortage of means of attack.

Hey ~

Who told the previous Blue Silver Emperor to have the heart of a strong offensive type after transforming into human form?

I guess all transformed soul beasts are like that.

Therefore, if the flow of soul power within the self-condensing soul ring cannot be altered, then the only chance for one's own self-condensing soul ring is to focus on the seventh soul ring.

At the very least, the Martial Soul True Form skill is comparable to one of the two soul skills of a 100,000-year soul ring.

"I've figured out the circulation path of soul power, how to construct it, and I understand it. It's not much different from magic and combat techniques," Ilex said confidently. "Within your Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, there is a peculiar energy that can form a soul ring, but it cannot form due to insufficient energy. I think this can perhaps be supplemented by the power of the earth and the radiance of the sun and moon, but I need some time to experiment with the corresponding energy combinations."

"As for the circulation of soul power, according to my observation, it is not fixed. As long as you are determined enough, the soul skills of the soul ring that condenses on its own should be able to evolve in the corresponding direction... I have to say, the martial soul is quite peculiar, as it has come into contact with the unrealistic ability of the mind."

At this point, Electrolux fell silent. He realized that, apart from the requirement of a spirit beast's spirit ring limiting spirit masters, the martial spirits in this world were far more powerful than the extraordinary system on the Holy Demon Continent. However, the spirit masters in this world were still at a primitive stage in their use of martial spirits and spirit power.

That is, they can throw stones and hit with wooden sticks.

However, they didn't know what shape, size, or weight of stone to throw at someone to cause the most pain; nor did they know that sharpening a wooden stick to stab would achieve the greatest destructive power.

However, Electrolux understood.

After all, once you obtain a soul ring, you can immediately unleash a skill. How many people actually think about how to use their soul power more rationally and skillfully?

In Electrolux's eyes, Tang San was an anomaly, far beyond his time.

In particular, the three major dantian cultivation methods proposed are essence, qi, and spirit; qi and blood; soul power; and spirit. It also involves slowly building the energy flow and transformation pathways between these three, and finally condensing the soul core.

This is equivalent to building a miniature universe within the human body!

The human body, a microcosm, reflects the macrocosm of the outside world!

During this time, Electrolux comprehended Tang San's cultivation and realized that his previous belief that this system could grant immortality was conservative. Once Tang San fully condensed this system, in the near future, it would not be as simple as becoming a god; he could completely control the universe!

If a talent like Tang San were born on the Holy Demon Continent, the demon race, which had plagued the various holy temples for over six thousand years, could probably be completely eliminated by Tang San in less than thirty years.

There's no particular reason, it's just that Electrolux felt that if Tang San went to the Holy Demon Continent and had the wisdom he has now, thirty years would be enough for him to become a perfect god, unaffected by the world.

This is also why Electrolux is willing to "pay rent." Just by witnessing Tang San's cultivation, he himself has gained considerable benefits. In particular, the Yin-Yang theory has furthered his understanding of the fusion of light and death. This wisp of broken divine soul is also becoming more and more focused, and there is even a great possibility that it will be reborn in the future.

"Is that so? That saves some trouble." Tang San had already guessed that if a martial soul could autonomously condense soul skills, it would be related to a person's thoughts.

Now, Electrolux's statement is considered semi-confirmed.

However, if one doesn't know what kind of soul skill they want, perhaps the self-formed soul ring will evolve according to the characteristics of their martial soul...
