From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 120 Divine Runes Suppress Vengeful Spirits! [Supplement to Yesterday's Chapter]

"There are two decisive factors in Yu Xiaogang's theory of the limits of spirit rings that he did not pay attention to."

Chen Hong, holding a black and red blood sphere, stood in front of Tang San and began to unleash his ultimate attack on Tang San face to face, 'insulting the master to the disciple'.

"The most dangerous part of the process of a Soul Master absorbing a Soul Ring is how to resist the mental resentment from the dying Soul Beast within the Soul Ring, which is the mental impact. What's strange is that although Soul Masters have discovered and summarized this phenomenon over thousands of years, and Yu Xiaogang has compiled and organized this phenomenon, no one has ever conducted in-depth research on this issue."

"For example, how can we better resist mental shocks instead of letting Soul Masters rely on their own willpower to tough it out? I used to think that Soul Master education made people generally stupid, naive and simple-minded." Chen Hong noticed Ning Quan's increasingly dark face, so he made a quick attempt at social etiquette.

"But after seeing Tang San, I finally understood. It's not that the Soul Masters are naive, but that they are too worldly-wise. It's already remarkable that Yu Xiaogang has been able to make most of the Soul Master knowledge public. Because now, the major Soul Master sects with long-standing traditions must all have their own set of research experience on Martial Souls and Soul Rings. It's just that those Soul Master sects are unwilling to make it public, and even Yu Xiaogang cannot access the core secrets of those Soul Master sects."

"For example, Tang San's mental cultivation technique, the Haotian Sect's Exploding Rings Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's Dragon Transformation, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's money power."

Ning Quan: "???"

Tang Hao, hidden in the shadows: "???"

Is there something strange mixed in here?

However, Chen Hong ignored Ning Quan's doubts and said with a strange light in his eyes, "Faced with the mental impact of the spirit ring, the sect's spirit masters may have already begun to have their own research results. For example, enhancing their own mental power."

Chen Hong's judgment here was flawed; he mistook Tang San's Purple Demon Eye for a secret technique passed down through generations of the Clear Sky Sect. However, overall, he wasn't entirely wrong, as many powerful sects possess similar abilities. The Clear Sky Sect's research focused on exploding spirit rings, while the true researchers of increasing the maximum lifespan of spirit rings were the Angelic Thousand Family of the Spirit Hall. It wasn't exactly research, but rather that the Angelic Clan understood how to increase the maximum lifespan of spirit rings. This method, after the Spirit Hall's destruction, was inherited by the Body Sect in later generations. Perhaps the conflict between the Body Sect and Shrek Academy in later generations has some historical connection.

"It's just that the Soul Master sects are unwilling to disclose their research progress, which has led to a very slow pace of research on this method of increasing the upper limit of Soul Rings. Of course, it may have already exceeded my imagination, since I don't know the specific progress within their sects, and the information I have can only be guessed from Tang San."

Chen Hong's casual remark had unknowingly stirred up a huge uproar in the eyes of some people.

Hiding in the shadows, Tang Hao silently watched Chen Hong. His calm heart was stirred once again. A question he had once refused to face was brought up again by Chen Hong. The scars he had pretended not to care about were once again accidentally exposed by Chen Hong: Where did Tang San's various secret manuals come from?

As Tang San's father, the titled Douluo Tang Hao, it was impossible for him not to notice the strange things about Tang San. However, he kept trying to convince himself not to care and to treat Tang San as a tool for revenge, until he gradually came to understand what it meant to be a father over time.

"If even an outsider like you can spot this problem, how could I, as your father, ignore it? It's just that compared to facing an even more bleak reality, I chose to accept it all in silence." Tang Hao, hidden in the shadows, murmured to himself, his heart heavy.

Tang Hao had considered starving Tang San, who was still in swaddling clothes, to death before, but in the end, Tang San was saved by Grandpa Jack, the old village chief of Holy Soul Village. (Before the Youth Soul Master Competition, in the original story, Tang Hao had no fatherly affection for Tang San whatsoever.)

"Tang San's current situation is actually proving that Yu Xiaogang's theory of the limit of spirit rings among the ten theories of spirit souls is an outdated and obsolete product. I wonder if Tang San, who doesn't seem that stupid, still firmly believes in it?"

(Tang San: Who said I firmly believed? If I hadn't been lucky, Gangzi would have killed me long ago! Calling him Gangzi is the greatest kindness I can show!)

"I wonder if Yu Xiaogang will reflect on his actions after seeing Tang San's spirit rings?"

Chen Hong silently stared at Tang San, whose brows were furrowed, and slowly raised the black-red blood ball produced by the thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider in his hand. With the support of his martial soul power, the deep red blood ball containing high-quality soul power slowly outlined a deep red blood divine pattern in Chen Hong's hand!

"It's quite a coincidence that this phenomenon was discovered on that evil soul master, Qianyu." Looking at Tang San, whose face was pale and whose eyes were closed, Chen Hong smiled and his eyes flashed with a strange yellow-purple halo.

If we consider Evil Soul Emperor Qianyu's possession of Chen Hong as a kind of mental shock, then does the Sage Power derived from the Sage Divine Runes, which can help resist the shock, also mean that it can be used in the absorption of Soul Rings to help Soul Masters resist the dying mental counterattack of Soul Beasts?

"Perhaps some Soul Master factions have researched ways to enhance their own mental power to resist the dying mental counterattack of Soul Beasts, but there is still one direction they haven't explored in depth, and that is to weaken the dying mental counterattack of Soul Beasts."

"Soul beast sacrifice is a very perfect way to weaken the mental counterattack of a soul beast before its death. However, ordinary people cannot do it, so let's use another method: using sage runes to weaken the soul beast's mental will. This is also a lower-level option for soul beast sacrifice."

If you can persuade a soul beast, you can make it sacrifice itself. If you can't, you can still destroy its will to resist.

As Chen Hong's eyes gleamed with a strange light and he murmured to himself, a mysterious and profound blood-red divine rune, capable of bringing peace to anyone who looked at it, slowly took shape in Chen Hong's hand. Finally, Chen Hong gently touched it onto Tang San's sweat-covered forehead.

Instantly, a fierce wind arose all around, and the soul power between heaven and earth began to stir, rapidly converging towards Chen Hong's fingertip. It diluted with the blood divine rune and finally combined to form a powerful spiritual soul skill that Chen Hong could not currently master!

Sage's Salvation!
