Chapter 179 The Sacred Martial Soul Compass! [Please subscribe! Please vote!]

"The Soul Ring Realm doesn't actually provide much of a power boost for most people. The core of this realm lies in how to change the way Soul Rings appear, achieving a state where Soul Rings can be controlled at will."

Inside the Hall of Worship in Wuhun City, facing the Douluo elders below, Qian Daoliu's eyes revealed a hint of reminiscence and surprise. Behind him, the nine soul rings formed a sacred and majestic angelic martial soul wheel, like a phantom divine wheel, making Qian Daoliu's already handsome and dashing appearance even more divine.

Qian Daoliu gently raised his hand, and the sacred and majestic Angel Martial Soul Wheel behind him instantly shrank into a compass that appeared in his palm. Then, in a calm and peaceful tone with a hint of surprise, he continued, "In battles between Soul Masters, when releasing Soul Skills, the corresponding Soul Rings will produce different fluctuations. At the same time, Soul Masters cannot hide their Soul Rings when summoning their Martial Soul, unless they possess special Soul Skills."

"Because of this characteristic, in battles between Soul Masters, if both sides are very familiar with each other, they can predict in advance what Soul Skill the other party is going to release by observing whether the other party's Soul Rings are fluctuating, thereby grasping the opponent's battle rhythm and making countermeasures in advance."

"The 'Form Realm' in Soul Ring Theory is precisely designed to solve the problem of Soul Rings appearing uncontrollably during Soul Master battles. You might not grasp the significance of this explanation, but let's put it another way..."

Qian Daoliu stretched his hand forward, and the Martial Soul Compass in his hand unfolded into a huge sacred disc in front of him. He gently moved his fingers, and although there was no contact, the rings in the Soul Ring Compass seemed to be moved by Qian Daoliu's fingers as if they were real objects.

Amidst the somewhat amazed and puzzled gazes of the Douluo elders below, Qian Daoliu exclaimed with boundless admiration, "If we cultivate soul power merely to pursue individual strength, then this Soul Ring Theory is essentially re-establishing a higher and more perfect standard for the Soul Master system, which we already consider infinitely perfect."

"Since the study of Soul Ring Intent, the future era will be divided into two generations of Soul Masters: the old generation and the new generation. At the same level, the new Soul Masters will possess greater potential and combat power than the old ones. This secret manual, capable of benefiting countless generations, has actually been so selflessly revealed by someone! Gentlemen, I truly cannot fathom the extraordinary talent of this man named Chen Hong!"

Qian Daoliu's tone was filled with praise and admiration for Chen Hong, the author of Soul Ring Narrative Theory. He was almost unable to suppress his desire to meet the young prodigy Chen Hong. However, he ultimately restrained himself. Before fully mastering Soul Ring Narrative Theory, Qian Daoliu felt that it would be extremely disrespectful to meet a genius like Chen Hong.

It's like a student not even bothering to prepare for their major courses before seeking advice from a leading expert in that field—what an offensive act!

Although Chen Hong's current identity is not outstanding in Qian Daoliu's investigation—he is just an ordinary Soul Master with some connection to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School—Chen Hong's Soul Ring Intent Technique has successfully made Qian Daoliu remember this little Soul Master who is only in his twenties, and in his heart, he regards Chen Hong as a key figure who can make the Spirit Hall even greater.

For someone at Qian Daoliu's level, he never considers others' soul power levels, because no matter how high others' levels are, they are not as high as his. Those higher than him have already ascended to heaven—in a practical sense.

Therefore, he had high expectations for someone like Chen Hong, who possessed unparalleled wisdom.

After all, who would worry about someone who has no means of resistance but is exceptionally intelligent and capable of scheming for themselves?

In a world where force is concentrated in an individual, for a smart enough person, being weak in force is not a bad thing; on the contrary, it is a good thing that can make all forces feel at ease.

Just like Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, Qian Daoliu felt that Chen Hong seemed somewhat different from Yu Xiaogang, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. After all, Yu Xiaogang was currently the only living example in the Douluo Continent.

"The Soul Ring's intent is truly ingenious and extraordinary, but it's rare to see it so highly praised by my elder brother!" On a stone pillar carved with the Golden Crocodile King below, a Douluo elder looked at Qian Daoliu on the high platform of the offering hall and said in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu looked at the other party, smiled, and shook his head, saying, "Jin'e, this isn't praise, but rather a statement that Chen Hong is a truly talented person who creates value for the world. In fact, his actions with the Technology Chamber of Commerce already demonstrate this. They are enthusiastic about building roads, making the Barak Kingdom well-connected. Moreover, the road from Soto City to Wuhun City will be completed soon, and then you will be able to personally experience the changes that the Technology Chamber of Commerce has brought to the lives of the people on the continent."

Although the Spirit Hall doesn't seem to pay much attention to the Technology Chamber of Commerce on the surface, ever since Saintess Hu Liena brought the Technology Chamber of Commerce into the view of the Spirit Hall's higher-ups, the Technology Chamber of Commerce has never left their sight.

Normally, people don't show any particular attitude; they simply watch with curiosity as the Technology Chamber of Commerce, a chamber that has changed their perception of chambers as merely "transferring value," is able to independently produce value, and they wonder what kind of development it will lead to.

This is why Hu Liena was able to so easily 'lend' the Papal Decree to the Technology Chamber of Commerce without encountering dissatisfaction from other Spirit Hall elders. It is also the root cause of the Technology Chamber of Commerce's continued success in avoiding suppression from the Star Luo Empire, the Heaven Dou Empire, and various other sects.

Although the Spirit Hall said nothing, the papal decree from the Technology Chamber of Commerce told everyone that the Spirit Hall had already said everything.

"Haha! When the infrastructure department of the Technology Chamber of Commerce builds its facilities in Wuhun City, I'll definitely have to go and support them!" Jin E, a level 98 Super Douluo, replied with a laugh.

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic." Qian Daoliu chuckled, flicking his fingers across the Spirit Wheel before him, continuing to explain his personal insights into the Soul Ring Theory to the other Douluo elders. He could meet Chen Hong later; after receiving the Soul Ring Theory, he had secretly dispatched a trusted Soul Douluo-level confidant to Soto City to hand over the mission to Bishop Soto and simultaneously protect Chen Hong. He had originally intended to send a Title Douluo, but considering that opposing Title Douluos wouldn't be so foolish, and that the Spirit Hall's Title Douluos were under intense scrutiny, potentially attracting negative attention to Chen Hong, a Soul Douluo was the best choice.
