Chapter 203 Effective Absorption Rate of Soul Power! [Please Subscribe! Please Vote!]

Several days after Chen Hong broke through to level 25 of soul power, in the bustling Soul Fighting Zone of Soto City, Chen Hong had a small, fist-sized, blue-gold fledgling with its feathers not yet fully grown on his arm. He stood on the upper level of the best viewing area, where there were the most people, feeding the little Kun Kun in his arms while watching the arena in the center of the Soul Fighting Arena where a battle had just ended.

After the staff cleaned up the arena, the host, using his soul power to amplify his voice, excitedly announced: "Next up is an absolutely spectacular battle! On one side is our champion team with a 100% win rate! The Royal Fighting Team from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy! On the other side is our Shrek Academy team, which has recently emerged from Soto City, also boasting a 100% win rate!"

"Originally, these two teams wouldn't have met, but at the request of the Shrek Team, they will challenge the Royal Fighting Team as the newcomers!"

"Next, please look forward to the exciting performances from both teams!"

"Let's cheer for your team!"

In the circular spectator area surrounding the arena, the emotions of nearly 10,000 spectators were ignited by the arena's host, erupting in blood-pumping cheers to support their chosen teams!

"Royal Fighting Team is invincible!"

"I want to have Captain Huangdou's babies!"

"Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!"

"Shrek! Let those outsiders taste defeat!"

The cheers and roars supporting the Royal Fighting Team and the Shrek Team were endless, forming a wave of sound that rose and fell among the crowd.

Compared to the intense atmosphere of the Soto Arena, the Soto Arena now has a much wider audience. In the past, a fierce battle would usually attract only a thousand or so spectators, but now it draws more than ten thousand people to gather here.

Among the audience were a large number of ordinary people. With the dilution effect of the ordinary people, the thousands of Soul Masters were diluted to less than 10% of the total population.

"This is the most intense soul battle I've ever seen. Perhaps only the Spirit Hall's Youth Soul Master Competition can compare to it." Ning Quan, standing behind Chen Hong in the VIP section at the top of the audience, looked at the dense crowd below with a hint of shock in his eyes.

This was the first time he had ever seen so many ordinary people participating in an event usually reserved for Soul Masters. Furthermore, the Soul Masters and ordinary people in the audience got along very harmoniously; at least, the air of "Soul Master" was much less pronounced here.

Of course, the root cause of this phenomenon lies in the rules within the Soul Arena, which forbid causing trouble.

"The Youth Soul Master Competition has a scale of around 100,000 participants. If Soto City is given another ten years to develop, it might be able to catch up with the Soul Master Competition held by the Spirit Hall every four years."

Chen Hong stood by the railing, continuing to feed the Shadow Peregrine Falcon chick on his arm. The day before yesterday, news came from Shrek Academy that the Shadow Peregrine Falcon eggs had shown signs of hatching, so Chen Hong went back to Shrek Academy and brought the hatched Shadow Peregrine Falcon chick with him.

"The little guy is growing pretty fast. I feel like it'll be fully fledged and able to move around in just a month. I'll have Lingling help me try and see if we can speed up its growth." Chen Hong teased the young Shadow Peregrine Falcon with his finger and thought to himself.

Ning Quan glanced at the young Shadow Falcon in Chen Hong's hand, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

He didn't know why Chen Hong was thinking of raising soul beasts. Perhaps they would never grow them to adulthood in their entire lives, and their combat power would be extremely limited, making them almost useless.

However, Ning Quan couldn't argue with Chen Hong. Since Chen Hong was willing to raise him, he would just go along with it. In any case, almost the whole family would side with the kid.

"How will you know it won't work if you don't try?" Chen Hong seemed to see through Ning Quan's thoughts and chuckled softly, "If Bajie is an isolated case, then if this Shadow-Chasing Falcon can become one of those countless isolated cases, wouldn't that mean that all the soul beast scholars in the world are Red Stone scholars?"

Bajie, whose original race was wild boar, would be about three years old by now if the butcher hadn't lied to him. Yet he has successfully transformed into a ten-year-old soul beast, a thick-armored wild boar, and even possesses a talent soul skill called "Pig Charge"!

(Bullish Charge: Unleash your full soul power, concentrating it on your body and limbs to enhance your speed and resilience. -- Put aside your thoughts and just charge!)

Furthermore, Chen Hong suspected that because his Sage's Ring had granted Bajie a 'mindset' beyond his realm, that is, 'soul power absorption efficiency', the pig might be able to break through to the realm of a hundred-year-old soul beast within ten years.

Chen Hong had noticed before that the cultivation paths of soul beasts and soul masters are different. The former cultivates the 'mind' that can control powerful soul power, while the latter cultivates the 'soul power' that can be adapted to their powerful mind.

A hundred-year-old soul beast cultivates its total soul power much faster than a ten-year-old soul beast in the same amount of time. Just like a Soul Saint's soul power completes one cycle, its total amount is much higher than that of a Soul Emperor.

Chen Hong discovered that his Sage's Ring seemed to allow soul beasts to maximize their fragile mental abilities, enabling them to transcend a major realm. In simpler terms, Chen Hong could improve algorithms to make a low-level computer perform like a mid-level computer.

The stronger a soul beast's "computational ability," the more efficient it will be in absorbing the soul power of heaven and earth, and the more precise its control over the soul power will be.

To give a simple example, if a Soul Master can absorb a total of 100 units of Heaven and Earth Soul Power in a day, then perhaps only 10 units will remain in their body in the end.

Soul beasts at the same level as Soul Masters can absorb a total of 1000 units of Heaven and Earth Soul Power per day, but only 10 units can be retained in their bodies.

A Soul Master's Soul Power Absorption Rate is 10%, while a Soul Beast's Soul Power Absorption Rate is 1%. As the Soul Master's cultivation level increases, the total amount of Soul Power a Soul Master can absorb in a day will become 1000 units, but the efficiency may not change, and the final effective Soul Power becomes 100 units.

As a soul beast's cultivation level increases, the total amount of soul power it absorbs also increases, and its soul power absorption rate also increases.

Looking at Soul Masters and Soul Beasts through this logic, we find a peculiar phenomenon: the total effective absorption of Soul Masters and Soul Beasts is roughly the same, but the lifespan of Soul Beasts is extremely long.

This has led to a new theoretical hypothesis: Soul beasts possess terrifying soul power, but their control over soul power is extremely low, making it impossible for them to perfectly utilize all of their soul power.

Chen Hong compiled all of this theoretical research into a book—"Research Report on the Soul Beast Cultivation System".
