Chapter 261 A Hundredfold Growth Rate! Chen Hong: I'm Not Human Anymore! [Waaah! Please Subscribe!]

Tang San was somewhat taken aback by Chen Hong's abstract assumption.

He had only been enjoying the thrill of being "my father Tang Hao" for a short while, so how come he's become a lowly soldier who can be suppressed at any time in your eyes?

However, after receiving Chen Hong's affirmation, Tang San still believed in the strength that the Technology Merchants Association had gathered by selling hooks. So, in front of his Shrek friends, he told Chen Hong about his accidental discovery of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in Sunset Forest.

"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is a sacred place for plant-type spirit beasts. The plants inside can grow ten times faster than those outside. There are also many precious immortal items in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, all of which are in the hands of Poison Douluo. The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire was originally Poison Douluo's secret base. If you are interested in the remaining immortal items, gather a group of people and don't let Poison Douluo escape."

Although Tang San understood that it was inconvenient for him to attack Poison Douluo, he knew that Chen Hong was someone he could target.

Hmm. Although Poison Douluo is still anxiously waiting for him to return to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to fulfill his promise, Tang San feels somewhat unwilling at the thought of so many immortal treasures falling into Poison Douluo's hands. Those things... they clearly all belong to him!

Therefore, Tang San now wants to encourage Chen Hong to make a move and let Poison Douluo enjoy the good things he wants. Tang San is hesitant to offer Poison Douluo the delicious Clear Sky Hammer because he's worried about offending Chen Hong, but if Chen Hong makes the move himself, then Tang San will have no problem with it.

However, Tang San was clearly going to be disappointed, because Chen Hong showed absolutely no interest in Poison Douluo.

"Those remaining immortal items are what Senior Dugu should have. But you said the plants in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire have a tenfold growth rate?"

Chen Hong subconsciously ignored Dugu Bo, then looked at Tang San with astonishment and disbelief, asking the question that concerned him most.

A divine product? It's hard to regenerate, and it's not even as good as the original essence of energy. It's garbage!

The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire? Completely baffling, rubbish!

Ten times the growth rate? Huh? Are you sure you're talking about something?!

Chen Hong has already achieved a certain level of expertise in "Soul Beast Cultivation" and has derived a relatively concise formula for soul beast cultivation!

The cultivation formula in "Soul Beast Cultivation" is: Cultivation Speed ​​= Cultivation Efficiency (Soul Enhancement × Bloodline Enhancement) × Environmental Energy Concentration! (Multiplicative logic, previously modified)

The concept of "cultivation efficiency" is influenced by the cultivation method itself. When applied to Soul Masters, this translates to methods like meditation, the Mysterious Heaven Technique, and the Lightning Body Tempering Technique. Since Soul Beasts seem to cultivate spontaneously, Chen Hong doesn't yet know how to change this, so regardless of size, they are currently considered a unit of 1.

"Soul Enhancement" refers to Chen Hong forcibly updating the weak intelligence algorithm of the soul beasts through the sage state, thereby enabling the soul beasts to exert a higher level of efficiency with simple mental configuration.

The concept of "bloodline enhancement" arose when Chen Hong discovered that the Shadow Falcon and the Wild Boar, both under the same Sage's blessing state, exhibited different rates of soul power accumulation. This led him to realize that soul beast bloodlines were a cultivation factor no less significant than "soul enhancement." Furthermore, this bloodline could be transferred to a soul master, manifesting as a difference in innate soul power. (Some soul beasts cultivate slightly faster than ordinary soul beasts.)

Environmental energy concentration, as the name suggests, is the density of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the environment. The higher the concentration, the faster the spiritual beast can cultivate.

To put "cultivation efficiency" simply, if a soul beast absorbs 100 units of soul power, but its cultivation efficiency is 0.7, then only 70 units of soul power will remain in the soul beast's body. However, since soul beasts don't seem to have cultivation techniques, their cultivation efficiency is temporarily considered to be "1," which does not affect the comparison results.

The theoretical model of this soul beast cultivation theory is that, in a fixed environmental energy concentration, the bloodline of a soul beast is the hard body, which is almost fixed and difficult to modify, while the soul is the soft body. The soft body controls the hard body to unleash powerful computing power, which is the soul power that can be absorbed in theory.

In this model, bloodline is predetermined and difficult to change. If the environment is expanded tenfold, the final value will also be expanded tenfold.

If the soul also expands tenfold, then the final value will expand one hundredfold!

At this point, if the bloodline, this extremely difficult-to-change hardware, were to be optimized even slightly, even by the slightest bit, increasing it a hundredfold would be terrifying!

However, if a cultivation technique could be optimized to accelerate the cultivation of soul beasts, then Chen Hongcai suddenly realized a problem.

If this is the true potential of soul beasts, then compared to the ancestors of soul masters, the ancestors of soul beasts strayed from the right path, while the ancestors of soul masters went astray!

Chen Hong had always believed that soul beasts could cultivate for hundreds of thousands of years, yet he still couldn't defeat a soul master who had cultivated for a hundred years. This was extremely unreasonable.

But now, after Chen Hong realized the four major factors of soul beast cultivation, and that they all operate on a multiplicative logic, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well alone, combined with his Sage state, could increase the cultivation speed of plant-based soul beasts by a hundred times! Chen Hong could boldly guess that the ancestors of soul beasts had perished on their own path! Only in this way could the 'primitive' appearance of soul beasts be explained!

Chen Hong's only uncertainty was that his Sage state had a relatively weak influence on 100,000-year-old soul beasts. If he could also accelerate the cultivation speed of 100,000-year-old Crimson Realm soul beasts tenfold, then the Titan Giant Ape wouldn't have simply captured Xiao Wu; it would have captured him, one in each hand. Therefore, it was from this that Chen Hong realized the fact that his Sage state had little effect on Crimson Realm soul beasts, which possessed intelligence equivalent to humans.

However, the Sage State is an optimization of the brain's algorithm. Chen Hong believes that once his intelligence and algorithm surpass those of humans by a generation, his Sage State will also have an effect on Soul Masters and Crimson Realm Soul Beasts! (Chen Hong: I'm not human anymore!)

"Hmm? Yes, the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire does indeed have the effect of accelerating plant growth tenfold." Tang San noticed the rare look of surprise on Chen Hong's face and was somewhat puzzled. Although a tenfold increase in plant growth was impressive, considering that plants typically take hundreds or thousands of years to grow, Tang San felt its effect wasn't significant. At least ten thousand years would be needed for the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire to take effect.

However, Tang San's way of thinking is destined to be different from Chen Hong's.

Just like Tang San, who spent his entire life becoming a god-king, he still silently abided by and utilized the known rules.

People like Chen Hong explore unknown rules and combine them to unleash entirely new applications of rules that are enough to shock the world!
