From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 124 The Path of Soul Rings! The Path of Soul Bones! The Path of Soul Power! [Bonus chapter for my increasingly weak self]

"It's just a little dance. Once you've mastered your divine skills and reached the level of the Crooked Mouth War God, what's a little dance? Even if you want a little ape, the Titan Giant Ape will have to find a way to get you one."

At the spot where the Man-Faced Demon Spider had fallen, Chen Hong cleaned up some of the corrosive liquid from its body and then said to Tang San, who was still sulking, "Do you still have space in your spatial soul tool? Put this thing back and study it carefully; it will definitely be of considerable value."

Tang San sneered at Chen Hong, "Not enough space! It won't fit!"

Ning Quan then said, "Hey, I'll pretend."

As he spoke, Ning Quan took the purple-gold gourd from his waist and shouted at the human-faced demon spider: "If I call your name, do you dare to answer?"

Human-faced Demon Spider:

Alright, Ning Quan took the jade gourd-shaped spatial soul tool from his waist, aimed it at the corpse of the human-faced demon spider, and directly put the human-faced demon spider inside.

Chen Hong was envious of Ning Quan's jade gourd. If he had the chance, Chen Hong would definitely make a space gourd soul tool for himself. Hmm, he would also add a space disturbance ability. That way, as long as his own space gourd was present, Ning Quan's jade gourd would be ineffective. Hahaha!

"How can you be so young, spending all your time on love and romance? How about I make you a sage's ring? From now on, you can bid farewell to the mortal world, enter the monastery, and spend your life chanting Amitabha Buddha."

After packing his things, Chen Hong followed Ning Quan out of the Star Dou Great Forest. During the walk, he couldn't help but chuckle at Tang San, "Considering the spoils of your Human-Faced Demon Spider battle, I'll forge you a free, exclusive Sage's Ring, focusing on strengthening your suppression of lust, turning it into a Buddha's Ring. Hmm, from now on, when others call you Buddha Tang, it'll be quite amusing after your profound enlightenment, won't it?"

Tang San, who was silently following behind Chen Hong and Ning Quan, glared at Chen Hong, who had been flirting with him, and remained silent without responding.

"Then it's settled. When we get back, as your reward for the Man-Faced Spider, I'll definitely give you a Sage's Ring for free! You should know that I've only made two of these spiritual soul guides so far, and yours is the third."

"Hmm, I'll also give you the academy's Pigsy to take care of then. Hmm." As he spoke, Chen Hong's expression began to become subtle.

Chen Hong suddenly muttered to himself with a strange expression, "Second Senior Brother is here, and it seems Eldest Senior Brother has also been chosen as the Rabbit Spirit Tang. If we could also create a dragon blood mount or something, that would be the perfect scenario!"

Although Chen Hong's voice was very soft, Ning Quan and Tang San were both people with sharp hearing and eyesight, so they were able to hear Chen Hong's voice clearly.

Ning Quan felt he was getting used to Chen Hong's eccentricities, especially after Chen Hong frequently adapted to his spirit rings. Ning Quan noticed that Chen Hong's mental state would become very beautiful, and his thinking would be very unconventional, making it impossible for ordinary people to keep up with Chen Hong's train of thought.

However, quite coincidentally, the things Chen Hong said in his madness were terrifyingly prescient. Although Chen Hong had been joking around, what he said was basically exactly the same as the situation Tang San was currently facing. He had essentially hit the nail on the head regarding Tang San's predicament.

Tang San, however, seemed somewhat annoyed by Chen Hong's erratic behavior.

"Can you please stop saying so many strange things!" Tang San said to Chen Hong in front of him, dissatisfied.

Can't you see that you've just experienced the biggest disappointment of your life?!

If you hadn't refrained from directly mocking him, you would have already committed suicide, you know that?!

"Heh, can getting angry solve anything?" Chen Hong chuckled. He had already made up his mind to assemble a Journey to the West team for Tang San.

(Isn't it a coincidence that the Sun Moon Continent is located to the west of the Douluo Continent?)

Having made up his mind, Chen Hong stopped teasing Tang San and quickened his pace towards the outside of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The following morning, as the morning sun began to evaporate the dew, Chen Hong and his group finally emerged from the Star Dou Great Forest. They also saw Shrek Academy's group, as well as Ning Fengzhi and Jian Chenxin.

As Chen Hong walked out of the Starry Sky Forest and entered the Starry Sky Plain, he couldn't help but look back at the overlapping mountains of the Starry Sky Forest, feeling a sense of emotion.

You should read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles.

The trip to the Starry Sky Forest was very fruitful.

A section of withered vine root, a Shadow Chasing Falcon egg, the possibility of a soul beast sacrifice, the possibility of the third level of soul rings, the possibility of a divine rune matrix, and a completely new understanding of the limits of soul rings. Of course, there are two other things that Chen Hong also gained from this trip.

Firstly, there's no doubt that once the transformed soul beast matures, Chen Hong will inevitably come into contact with Xiao Wu, albeit through Tang San. After all, Chen Hong is unwilling to risk his life again in the Star Dou Great Forest without absolute certainty of victory.

If the many mysteries surrounding the transformed soul beasts can be solved, Chen Hong believes he will be able to overturn the Douluo Continent's understanding of soul beasts once again.

Secondly, there is Tang San's external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances. Although Chen Hong, Ning Quan, and Tang San did not mention the Eight Spider Lances much, all three of them were well aware of the terrifying value of an external soul bone that could grow alongside a soul master.

However, Ning Quan had no interest in the Eight Spider Lances; he was only interested in anything that could improve his swordsmanship.

As for Chen Hong, he was quite interested in the Eight Spider Lances, but his interest wasn't in the Eight Spider Lances themselves, but in the external soul bone itself.

What? You're saying that external soul bones can grow along with the soul master?

What does this interesting phenomenon indicate? Does it suggest that the so-called "soul bone" is not a solid substance at all? Like Schrödinger's cat, it exists in a quantum superposition state, a superposition of observable and unobservable states. It can be either "bone" or a kind of governing force.

If, and I mean if, it were possible to anchor a rule-based power representing a certain force onto one's bones using the methods of a soul beast, would that be considered a kind of artificial soul bone? Or, to put it another way, a naturally formed soul bone?

impossible?

According to the "Three Souls Conjecture," soul power is fragments of rules, soul rings are phantoms of rules, and soul bones are physical soul rings.

Chen Hong had almost completely stripped away the last piece of clothing from the spirit rings; spirit bones were no longer a foreign concept to him.

Tang San's external soul bone, the soul bone inside Xiao Wu's body after she transformed, and the Thousand Words skull in Chen Hong's hand. All three forms of soul bones in nature appeared before Chen Hong's eyes.

In "The Three Souls Conjecture", the Soul Ring Path is about to be completed, and the next step is the Soul Bone Path, followed by the Soul Power Path.
