From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 131 The Power of Steel vs. the Power of Six Steel! [Bonus chapter for starting afresh today]

"Just like how a Soul Saint, amplified by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, can rival a Soul Douluo in the quality of their Soul Power. Although that Soul Saint's Soul Power level is still only around 70 and they only have seven Soul Rings, in terms of the quality of their Soul Power, this Soul Saint is no less than a Soul Douluo and can even compete with a Soul Douluo."

"In the case of soul beasts, under the amplification of the Sage state, the soul beast's mental realm is elevated to a higher level. Although the color of the soul rings on this soul beast's body has not changed, the soul beast's control over soul power is in no way weaker than that of a higher-level soul beast. Combat power... there may still be a gap in combat power. Soul masters improve combat power, while soul beasts improve their intelligence. In other words, in the Sage state, the intelligence of a hundred-year-old soul beast is comparable to that of a thousand-year-old soul beast."

"Although it still sounds silly, increased intelligence means that soul beasts have stronger control over soul power, and therefore absorb soul power more efficiently, which indirectly increases the growth rate of soul beasts."

As the reasoning progressed, a strange light shone in Chen Hong's eyes.

It has to be said that Chen Hong felt that his maternal grandfather's martial soul bloodline had not ended after all the mutations, but had finally completed its final mutation in Chen Hong's hands. Starting with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda that amplified soul masters, through the Seven Star Sword and the Seven-Colored Wine Gourd, it finally mutated into a strange martial soul that could amplify soul beasts.

Perhaps Ning Fengzhi, Ning Ji and others will never be able to understand why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda bloodline, which has been providing support to Soul Masters for generations, eventually mutated into a strange descendant who can provide support to Soul Beasts.

With the blessing of Chen Hong's soul skill, the wild boar Bajie, who was not a soul beast, suddenly possessed the realm of a ten-year soul beast. With the blessing of the realm, the wild boar Bajie completed the evolution from a wild beast to a ten-year soul beast in less than half a year.

Similarly, with the enhancement of Chen Hong's soul skill, the nearly thousand-year-old Withered Flourishing Vine directly reached the realm of a thousand-year-old Withered Flourishing Vine soul beast, thus being able to absorb soul power more effectively.

The reason why these soul beasts suddenly absorb soul power faster under Chen Hong's soul skill enhancement is the same as the reason why soul masters' comprehension ability is greatly increased under the enhancement of sage divine runes.

The Sage's Divine Rune allows a lower-level Soul Master to possess the comprehension abilities of a higher-level Soul Master, essentially giving a Soul Emperor the brain of a Soul Saint when cultivating Soul Skills.

In the case of soul beasts, it means allowing a hundred-year-old soul beast to temporarily experience the soul power cultivation speed of a thousand-year-old soul beast.

Because the cultivation paths of Soul Masters and Soul Beasts are different, Chen Hong's Soul Skills can increase the speed of Soul Masters' enlightenment and increase the speed of Soul Beasts' absorption of Soul Power.

"This is truly a miraculous phenomenon," Chen Hong said, walking alone on the gravel path overgrown with weeds, a deep and lingering surprise flashing in his dark eyes.

"If that's the case, then the method of naming soul beasts by age will have to be eliminated. As long as this theory doesn't cause any major problems in practice, then there will inevitably be a lot of mismatched names between hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old soul beasts that are only a few decades old. This mismatch will be almost no less than that between two-ring Soul Emperors and three-ring Soul Saints among humans. Of course, does anyone in this world really exist who can compress their soul power level so drastically?"

Lost in thought, Chen Hong, who was walking along the edge of the small lake, suddenly froze. He then subconsciously turned to avoid a dark figure, who also happened to notice Chen Hong's figure and subconsciously moved to the other side. Their eyes, which had been wandering off, unconsciously met.

The other person was a middle-aged man with a gray headscarf and a gray overcoat, his face gloomy and somber. The only commendable thing about him was his eyes. What kind of eyes were they? Numb? Silent? Despairing? Indifferent? In short, Chen Hong could not see any color in the other person's eyes that should be the color of a happy person.

At the same time, the other party also looked at Chen Hong. The yellow-purple halo emitted by Chen Hong's 'Rinnegan', which he had subconsciously opened due to deep thought, made his numb and indifferent eyes pause slightly. At the same time, he quickly realized the coldness and rationality revealed in the strange eyes on the other party's young and steady face, as well as the warm light in his pupils due to his excessive happiness in life. All of these made the man in the gray turban pause.

In particular, Chen Hong, who had just come out of the Shrek Academy of Soul Tools research building, was dressed in a clean, neat, and well-fitting white outfit, which contrasted sharply with the gray-turbaned man on both sides of the road.

Under the midday sun, the clear lake in the distance rippled slightly in the breeze. Two figures stood on opposite sides of the rugged path: black against white, twilight against youthful vigor, gloom and numbness against confident determination, middle age against youth.

Both walked on this rugged path, experiencing the same wind and flowers, feeling the loneliness of being alone, and both of their soul power auras were in the twenties. However, one of them had reached the end, while the other had just begun.

If there is anyone in this world who is most adept at mastering the Card Realm, then if the person before us claims to be second, even the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would not dare to claim to be first.

"Chen Hong." Chen Hong looked at the gloomy and silent middle-aged man in front of him. The years of hardship had etched an indelible sorrow in the other man's eyes. As the breeze blew, the poem of suffering was carried by the wind to the sky.

"Yu Xiaogang." Yu Xiaogang stared blankly at the resolute and confident young man in front of him. He was like a rising sun, yet he radiated a dazzling light that could ignite the entire dark sky. It was a brilliance that even the bright moon and stars could not match. All the geniuses in the world were nothing more than fireflies in his eyes.

"I saw in him a blazing star, a light so dazzling it could ignite a galaxy that I almost dared not look directly at him."

"The confidence, vitality, resilience, and composure I saw in him were like seeing a version of myself that was many times stronger."

"Perhaps the greatest tragedy in life is meeting someone who is superior to you in every way. But only when you face them directly will you realize that being able to compare yourself to them with my disabled body is my greatest honor."

"He is like a flame, igniting the world and scorching everything that tries to get close. Yet countless people still flutter their wings in the fire like moths to a flame. Blazing steel wings sweep across the sky, and resounding hymns soar into the heavens."

"My child, when the sky is shrouded in blood-red darkness, please believe that a bright star will surely rise again."

"Because there are always mortals who crawl on the ground, yet dare to look directly at the divine glory."
