Chapter 316 Mirror Beast? The Essence of a Food Soul Master! [Please Subscribe! Please Vote!]

"In the northern snowy mountains of the Heaven Dou Empire, there exists a soul beast that can transform into the appearance of other creatures through its mirroring ability. If your talent is strong enough to acquire soul skills related to 'transformation,' then you will effortlessly gain combat abilities far exceeding those of food-type soul masters."

Previously, Chen Hong couldn't offer Oscar this solution because he was unaware that the Mirror Beast, a wondrous soul beast, existed in the northern part of the Heaven Dou Empire. However, after spending six months successfully scouring the Spirit Hall's knowledge reserves, Chen Hong is now a walking library, recognizing almost 99% of the soul beasts that have appeared in the history of Douluo Continent.

Back then, Yu Xiaogang spent at least five years compiling the knowledge of the Spirit Hall, which still accounted for less than 20% of the total knowledge of the Spirit Hall. Now, Chen Hong has spent half a year successfully compiling all the knowledge of the Spirit Hall. Chen Hong is now the absolute superior to Yu Xiaogang in all aspects, a master among masters.

Commonly known as: the Six Masters.

Her innate soul power is six times that of Yu Xiaogang, and her knowledge reserves are at least six times greater. Therefore, her future soul power level should be at least six times higher. Hmm, isn't 29 x 6 = 174 a bit too high?

Upon hearing this, Oscar fell into deep thought, but Ma Hongjun, the chubby boy, raised his own question: "Since it's a mirror image, an illusion, then the final combat power generated shouldn't reach the level of the original object, right?"

Chen Hong nodded: "According to the records of the Martial Soul Branch Hall in the Snow Spirit Province of the Heaven Dou Empire, Mirror Beasts can generally only simulate 70% to 80% of the combat power of the illusionary body. If this skill is used on a Soul Master, the effect may be reduced, because the Soul Rings and Soul Skills on a Soul Master are too chaotic. The Mirror Soul Skill should theoretically not be able to simulate too many skills, and may only be able to simulate one's own power."

The innate skills of spirit beasts, when mapped onto spirit masters, will undergo significant changes; this is a generally accepted fact in the spirit master world.

"Of course, Soul Ring Theory should be able to break the limitations to a certain extent, allowing Mirror Soul Skills to fully replicate 70-80% of the comprehensive abilities of the mirrored object."

In the end, Chen Hong still added a minor, insignificant patch to this approach of "solving problems with soul skills".

After all, Soul Ring Intent Science broadens the upper limit of the Soul Master system and is a common Soul Skill patch for all Soul Masters.

"Seventy or eighty percent of overall ability," Oscar murmured unconsciously, his eyes shifting. He admitted that Chen Hong's "effortless" soul skill solution had won Oscar over. If the original Mirror Soul Skill only gave Oscar a little resistance, then the Mirror Soul Skill enhanced by Soul Ring Intent had transformed Oscar into a flexible support warrior.

"Brother Chen, can I hear about the second part of the plan? You only gave me a vague description before, which left me still confused." In the end, Oscar decided to listen to Chen Hong's second part of the plan first. Oscar knew that Chen Hong's second part of the plan would definitely not be as "effortless" as the first part of the plan, but Oscar felt that he might be able to give it a try.

After all, Brother Chen once said that he was the most insightful among the Shrek Seven Devils!

Chen Hong once gave Oscar a brief explanation of the concept of "Soul Techniques." He explained that once all of Oscar's soul skills advanced to Soul Techniques, all of his abilities would become offensive soul skills. In other words, at that point, what kind of soul master Oscar wanted to become would entirely depend on how he wanted to specialize in combat soul techniques. Of course, while Oscar would gain combat abilities, due to his starting point, he would initially excel at support soul techniques, and his combat abilities would only be passable.

In the era of Soul Techniques, the combat strength between Soul Masters is no longer about who hunted which high-level Soul Beast and obtained a powerful Soul Skill, but rather who created a powerful and bizarre Soul Technique. Soul Masters with the relevant attributes, hurry up and learn from them!

"Well, the first option, I call it the Soul Skill route, which is to change your current situation with Soul Skills. And the second option, I call it the Soul Magic route, which is to change your current situation with Soul Magic." Chen Hong took a sip of the Soul Power Orange Juice. The sweetness and coolness made Chen Hong's eyes light up.

"Indeed, food-type soul masters are the greatest treasure in this world." Chen Hong sighed first, then said to Oscar and Ma Hongjun, who looked bewildered, "The two paths can be taken together. For example, you can first acquire a mirror soul skill, and then slowly cultivate it into a soul technique. This can also make your fighting style extremely unpredictable."

"Of course, I already explained the concept of Soul Technique to you when I taught you Soul Ring Intent before, so I won't waste my breath on this and will directly tell you my understanding of the essence of Food Soul Masters."

"Well, in other words, what is the essence of a Food Soul Master in my eyes?"

Chen Hong looked up at Oscar's bewildered eyes and said, word by word, "Knowledge reserves give people different perspectives on things. In my eyes, the essence of a Food Soul Master is 'converting inedible soul power into edible soul power.' Don't understand? Then let me give you a real-world example."

Many phenomena in the Douluo world are connected in an unclear way, both overtly and covertly. Chen Hong, with his terrifying insight, is precisely the one of the Six Masters who connects these sensitive phenomena.

Therefore, faced with Oscar and the others' lack of understanding, Chen Hong, without pausing at all, directly gave them a real-life example: "Ye Lingling of the Nine-Heart Begonia hasn't forgotten, has she?"

"How could we possibly forget that!" Oscar and Ma Hongjun replied, both amused and exasperated.

That's a 'mutant' who can lead the Royal Fighting Team to crush their Shrek Team head-on! In last year's Youth Soul Master Tournament, if the Shrek Team hadn't been lucky enough to not meet the Royal Fighting Team in the final semi-finals, they wouldn't have had a chance to enter the finals at all.

"I wonder what that little girl is busy with; I haven't seen her in a while." A hazy image of a girl in a light veil floated into Chen Hong's mind. He smiled slightly and continued, "The skill logic of the Nine-Hearted Begonia is to convert 'soul power into life power,' and this process..."

At that moment, Chen Hong recalled Ye Lingling's "Flower of Reversal," the ability to devour the life force around it.

"In fact, the next step is to transform the surrounding soul power into life force."
