Chen Hong left, leaving Yu Xiaogang alone, burying his face in his hands on the table, trying to process his emotions.

Chen Hong could directly tell Yu Xiaogang what to do, for example, by setting all the factors affecting the strength of a Soul Master as parameters, such as the type, grade, quality of Soul Power, quality of Spirit, and physical strength of the Martial Soul. Finally, these parameters could be used to establish a calculation formula based on a certain mathematical model. If there were a belief system for deification in this world, then Yu Xiaogang's actions would almost certainly allow him to ascend to godhood directly.

Chen Hong's suggestion to modify the Soul Ring theory was to create an optimal formula for the Soul Ring age limit.

Chen Hong could directly tell Yu Xiaogang his opinions, and Yu Xiaogang could achieve some results by using his personal connections.

But Chen Hong didn't. Instead of telling Yu Xiaogang directly, he told him a story. In the story, a teacher with a lisp meant well, but ultimately, because of his disability, he caused the deaths of many people who shouldn't have died.

Chen Hong gave Yu Xiaogang a hint: he couldn't tell Yu Xiaogang the answer directly. If he did, Yu Xiaogang, this extremely rare scholar in the "Stupid Continent," would really be ruined.

If Yu Xiaogang can gain inspiration from Chen Hong's hints and grasp the essence of it, and research a "Douluo Language" suitable for all Soul Masters, that is, the optimal Soul Ring age formula, then Yu Xiaogang will be able to usher in his own rebirth.

Chen Hong couldn't possibly do everything himself; he didn't have that much time and energy. If he had the opportunity to cultivate more talent for the world, he would be very willing.

As for the formula for the optimal age of a small soul ring, Chen Hong felt that it was something that would eventually be eliminated by the times. Leaving such a small project for Yu Xiaogang to complete his own "self-rebirth" was a worthwhile gain.

The best formula for the optimal Soul Ring age is Soul Ring Sacrifice!

And Chen Hong harbored an almost insane idea.

That is, he is trying to unravel the root of soul beast sacrifice! So that soul masters can also sacrifice themselves!

In Chen Hong's understanding, the rules of soul beast sacrifice are like an invisible and intangible 'code' in the world. What is the reason why soul beasts can sacrifice? Can transformed soul beasts sacrifice? What about hybrids like Tang San? Or soul masters whose ancestors may have some soul beast blood?

If we can crack the permission for soul beasts to be sacrificed, then it is very likely that we will usher in an era of universal sacrifice! If soul masters can also obtain soul rings, then it will be even more terrifying.

The order that has existed on the Douluo Continent for tens of millions of years will be overturned, a new era of great sacrifice will begin, and the lives of hundreds of millions of living beings will be disturbed by the tide of the times.

This is why Chen Hong said: Top scholars kill people, generation after generation!

"Mom, I'm home!"

Inside Soto City, Chen Hong, dressed in a black casual outfit embroidered with golden mechanical patterns, stood in front of Ning Lu's Suspended Pot Medical Clinic, and touched the Sage's Ring with light golden patterns on his forehead.

The moment Chen Hong entered Soto City, he activated the Sage's Ring, which he usually kept closed at Shrek Academy, to isolate the massive, light-white, disordered mental currents that shrouded Soto City.

From Chen Hong's unique spiritual perspective, at the edge of Soto City, strands of milky-white spiritual threads wove together in the sky to form a giant 'black cloud,' with thousands of threads connecting to the bottom of the cloud, linking them to the hundreds of thousands of residents within Soto City! Each milky-white spiritual thread was very weak, as if a gentle breeze could easily scatter it.

However, when those countless milky white threads formed an enormous 'black cloud' in the sky, a solemn, sacred, and oppressive aura enveloped the city of Soto, which was filled with steel buildings, causing every Soul Master and commoner who entered this giant city to feel a sense of awe from the bottom of their hearts!

"Come up here now that you're back!" Ning Lu's somewhat impatient voice came from upstairs at the Xuanhu Medical Clinic, whose decor hadn't changed much, showing no joy whatsoever at the thought of Chen Hong's return.

"Chen Hong, you're finally here!" The wooden window upstairs in the clinic was opened, and a gentle and lovely girl with shoulder-length short hair poked her head out.

Chen Hong and Ning Quan stood downstairs. Chen Hong looked up at Ning Rongrong upstairs and sighed silently: Sure enough, love can always be transferred.

"Uncle, have you felt a sense of oppression since you entered the city?" Chen Hong did not respond to Ning Rongrong upstairs. Instead, amidst the endless stream of people around him, he looked up at the sky, a yellowish-purple halo appearing in his black eyes as he gazed at the pure blue sky above Soto City.

In Chen Hong's vision, the dark clouds above Soto City grew rapidly amidst the mental turbulence emanating from the daily lives of the creatures below. At the same time, they were constantly dispersed and evaporated by the gale under the scorching sun, generating a large amount of ethereal and invisible mist that cast dreamlike colors in the sunlight.

Six months after leaving Soto City, why has the mental turbulence here inexplicably solidified?

Chen Hong's black, yellow, and purple eyes reflected a strange aurora, but because his eyes already possessed various lights, they did not appear different to outsiders.

The anomaly above Soto City made Chen Hong frown slightly. He remembered that when he left Soto City, there was also a mental turbulence network above the city. Although it was growing every moment, it was also dissipating at the same time, showing no sign of continuing to grow.

One of the main reasons Chen Hong later left Soto City and settled at Shrek Academy was that staying in Soto City would have affected him with the mental turbulence network that enveloped the city, interfering with his rationality and cognitive judgment.

"Suppressed?" Ning Quan followed Chen Hong's gaze with some confusion, looking up at the infinitely pure blue sky, unsure of what Chen Hong was talking about. In Ning Quan's understanding, he frequently traveled to and from Soto City and hadn't noticed anything different about it, except for the increasing number of high-rise buildings and Soul Masters.

However, after Chen Hong's prompting, Ning Quan suddenly had a flash of inspiration. A look of reminiscence crossed his bright, starry eyes, and he hesitated before saying to Chen Hong, "Now that you mention it, it's like saying something different. I feel that Soto City gives me the same feeling as entering Spirit City, sacred and majestic, making every Soul Master who sees them feel a shock from the soul. Of course, Spirit City gives people a much stronger feeling."
