Chapter 181 The Path to Redemption May Lie Within! [Please Subscribe! Please Vote!]

In Qian Daoliu's understanding, the artistic conception of Chen Honghun's circular theory can only be summarized by one word:

authority!

Yes, Authority! A soul skill law imprint that is very weak, but in terms of flexibility, it is almost identical to Authority!

If the previous soul skills could still be called soul skills, then after entering the realm of intent, those soul skills can no longer be described as techniques; they need to be described as laws.

For example, a simple fire-type soul skill, after advancing to the realm of intent, becomes an energy converter, capable of transforming soul power into various fire soul skills that one desires, from small, instantaneous fireballs to large, extremely long-winded forbidden flame spells, all of which fall within the scope of intent.

Of course, the price of such terrifying effects is that each super "soul technique" requires the soul master to create it themselves, which is another threshold that severely tests the soul master's understanding of the rules of heaven and earth.

However, there is a shortcut: when both parties have the same soul technique attribute, they can borrow from each other's self-created soul technique, provided the other party is willing. Otherwise, if one could learn someone else's soul technique just by looking at it, there wouldn't be a situation where one cannot create their own.

Furthermore, in the study of soul rings, Chen Hong provided two approaches to soul ring attachments for soul masters: one is a comprehensive approach involving multiple elements, and the other is a single-element, extreme attachment.

Chen Hong's reasoning in the book is that multi-element additions allow Soul Masters to have more ways to attack, while single-element limit additions allow Soul Masters to have super explosive power, and theoretically, Soul Technique stacking can even occur, producing a more powerful Soul Technique imprint.

Of course, Qian Daoliu could understand the former, but the latter made his scalp tingle. In his understanding, a Soul Law Imprint was just an incredibly rudimentary fragment of a small law. If a Soul Master could cultivate all their Soul Rings into Soul Law Imprints, and their Soul Skills were almost identical, could they then combine Soul Laws to create a more powerful and complete law?

According to the inherited knowledge that Qian Daoliu himself possesses, each god corresponds to a conceptual law. The more powerful the god, the broader the concept of law. Conversely, gods with only a single minor law are relatively weak.

However, even the weakest god is still stronger than a level 99 mortal!

Thinking of this, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but take out Chen Hong's Soul Ring Intent Study again. This booklet was almost brand new, as if it hadn't been read much. In fact, the opposite was true. Qian Daoliu and the others had practically worn the book out in the past month. Of course, they didn't dare to actually wear it out; they could only mentally wear it out. Physically, they had protected the book very well.

Qian Daoliu flipped through the Soul Ring Theory to the last page, looking once more at the thought Chen Hong had left on the last page of the booklet:

"Perhaps a leaf can pierce through life, perhaps a river can reflect the starry sky, perhaps a bright moon can illuminate the entire universe. The most ultimate and purest truth in the world may be right beside us."

"A chance encounter, a choice made, allowed me to hear the voice within the spirit ring, and from there, the voice of all things in the world. Listen, the spirit ring is humming; perhaps it is the sound of a child using their insignificant power to gently knock on the doorbell of the world's truth."

"If there truly is salvation in this world, then those who come after, please believe that the path to salvation may lie within it."

Every time Qian Daoliu saw this sentence, he seemed to see the tiny figure of a weak child gently knocking on the door of the world's truth. He seemed to be able to feel the other person's excitement, bewilderment, panic, and most importantly, the courage to face death.

Although Chen Hong didn't say anything, Qian Daoliu seemed to be able to sense from Chen Hong's words that this young man with unparalleled wisdom was giving a final piece of advice to a junior in the tone of a senior.

He seemed to realize the potential impact his research might have on the world, and even that he might very well sacrifice himself on this path. However, he ultimately chose to face it head-on, and even death could not change his unwavering determination to study and transform the world.

"A person like that... anyone who dares to be your enemy is going against the entire Spirit Hall!" Qian Daoliu reaffirmed his conviction. Although he had never met Chen Hong, the sincerity in Chen Hong's words was palpable.

He was a different person from the master Yu Xiaogang. If Yu Xiaogang was like a porter with some achievements, then Chen Hong was a ruthless production machine that could change the world, tirelessly producing new things and new benefits for the world day and night.

The biggest difference between producers and porters is that one produces value, while the other can only transport value.

"Every time we read that young man's words, it intensifies our excitement to meet him," the Golden Crocodile Douluo remarked, noticing the change in Qian Daoliu's expression. His words resonated with the other Douluo elders, who nodded in agreement.

If it weren't for the fact that they hadn't yet mastered the basics of Soul Ring Intent and that it would be disrespectful to disturb him rashly, they would have already teamed up to invite Chen Hong. After all, they were Title Douluos; if he asked them questions that Title Douluos should know, and they didn't know the answers, how awkward would that be?

In the book, Chen Hong already refers to the others as "latecomers," which implies that he has reached a height unimaginable to them. Furthermore, aside from the unfamiliar domain at the end, Chen Hong has included almost everything in the book without reservation. This sincere academic attitude undoubtedly deeply moved every Title Douluo present.

In this situation, the people in the Hall of Offerings could no longer treat the other person as a child, but instead ignored his age and judged him based on his achievements. And judging by achievements, Chen Hong could certainly be considered their peer, right?

(Everyone: Even titled Douluo need some dignity, you know! We can't exactly call him Teacher Zhizi, can we?)

Therefore, everyone in the Hall of Offerings was determined to master their skills, which is why they invited Chen Hong to Martial Soul City to ask him some cultivation questions in person.

At least they are titled Douluo, they can't keep asking each other super simple elementary school questions, can they? That would be so embarrassing if word got out. It has to be at least middle school level questions!

In order to be able to learn from Chen Hong as soon as possible, everyone in the Hall of Offerings is working hard to learn the "basic knowledge that a Title Douluo should master".
