Chapter 420 The surgery was a success! You're a girl now! [Please subscribe! Please vote!]

Chen Hong suspected that his occasional mental instability was caused by the dimensional star map constantly bombarding him with junk information. Some information he couldn't understand, so he couldn't receive it, but he could understand some of it, which led to strange and inhuman thoughts popping into his head.

(Dimensional Star Chart: Blaming the toilet for not being able to poop.)

However, some information was valuable to Chen Hong, such as the theory of elemental energy logic. Chen Hong had related concepts, but he wasn't sure if they could be replicated in this strange and fantastical world. The dimensional star map merely proved to him that the path was feasible; whether or not to follow it was up to him.

Ning Quan, lying inside the life support device, is no longer the strong young man he once was, but has become a rune warrior covered in mysterious patterns.

A high-quality soul power engine requires a massive amount of life energy to sustain it, but Ning Quan's own life energy level is naturally insufficient to sustain a level 30 Five Elements Soul Power Engine. If left unattended, Ning Quan will become emaciated within a few days, and may even die suddenly within a few weeks.

Therefore, after spending a month installing the Five Elements Soul Power Engine on Ning Quan, Chen Hong and Ye Lingling spent another month using the Life Divine Pattern of the Nine Heart Begonia to stabilize the balance of life energy within Ning Quan's body.

This is a job that really tests one's patience, and coincidentally, both Chen Hong and Ye Lingling are superhuman beings with maximum patience.

"The experiment has finally been a complete success. Now we just need to wait for him to wake up so we can tell him that the surgery was a success and that he is now a girl." Chen Hong, who was full of life energy and in high spirits, still had a trace of fatigue in his eyes. He rubbed his eyes, looked at Ning Quan, the rune warrior who was sleeping peacefully in the life support pod, and rested his head on Ye Lingling's soft shoulder, looking like he was openly taking advantage of her.

"Hehe~" Ye Lingling seemed amused by Chen Hong's words, and a clear laugh rang out. She didn't say anything about Chen Hong taking advantage of her; her height was no less than Chen Hong's, both around 175cm, and both still growing. Due to her physique, Ye Lingling often appeared taller than Chen Hong. Furthermore, having maintained a state of life transformation for many years, she was far superior to the weakling Chen Hong in terms of physical strength.

However, Ye Lingling rarely clashes with anyone now, and her terrifying physical strength has never been exposed. So even Chen Hong doesn't know just how strong Xiang Yu—no, I mean, the girl next door who has grown up and whose strength is unmatched—is.

However, based on Chen Hong's analysis of Ye Lingling's muscle density, who has just reached the Soul King realm, the seemingly delicate and frail Ye Lingling's muscle density is in no way lower than Zhao Wuji's, who is known as the Immovable King. Considering that Ye Lingling's life transformation is even more perfect, Zhao Wuji, without activating his Martial Soul True Body, might not necessarily gain any advantage over Ye Lingling in terms of physical strength.

How terrifying.

terrible!

"Brother Hong, you're always thinking about weird and strange things." The two had only been out of the Martial Soul Fusion for a short time, but the girl's intuition still told her that Chen Hong was thinking about something outrageous, so she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

"However, Brother Hong, if we follow the traditional classification, the tenth level of the Innate Realm is the peak of mortals, the twentieth level of the Innate Realm is the god level, then what is the thirtieth level of the Innate Realm? The super god level? But I feel that the Five Elements Soul Core is not quite worthy of this name yet."

Ye Lingling asked Chen Hong the question that had been on her mind all this time.

"Hmm, Lingling, a Five Elements Soul Core at level 30 of the Innate Realm is still of divine quality." Chen Hong leaned on Ye Lingling's shoulder, pondered for a moment, and then explained to Ye Lingling, "Soul power control is one of the powers of the gods. This is why, in legends, gods can bestow divine soul rings, directly increasing the soul power level of those taking the divine test, or even granting ordinary people the ability to cultivate soul power. These are all forms of control over soul power."

"The abstract hierarchical expression of the world, the Tenth Level of Innate Realm, indirectly hinders the development of many disciplines. For example, using time to describe the cultivation level of a soul beast subconsciously creates a cognitive barrier, and research on soul beasts always remains superficial. Now, people still use years to describe things, but in written form, they have begun to use realms plus numbers to describe them, which is progress."

"Innate level ten. In other words, soul power adaptability level ten means that a soul master with level ten adaptability has reached the minimum threshold for becoming a god. Level ten soul power adaptability is actually the upper limit of one's own energy. Currently, all the titled Douluo on the continent basically have adaptability hovering around level nine or ten. You want to say that some are not? No, when they can break through to the titled Douluo level, their adaptability must be at least level nine, and to break through to the Super Douluo level, their soul power adaptability must be at least level ten!" Chen Hong explained slowly to Ye Lingling.

"Does Brother Hong mean that the word 'innate' has become a cognitive shackle for traditional Soul Masters in Douluo Continent?" Ye Lingling was very intelligent and understood Chen Hong's meaning almost instantly.

"Yes, the word 'innate' naturally makes people subconsciously think that this thing cannot be changed after birth. But in reality, this only represents a Soul Master's adaptability to Soul Power, and adaptability increases with the advancement of cultivation level. If your adaptability is level 10 at the age of six, then you will not encounter a Soul Power bottleneck when you cultivate to the Title Douluo level. In other words, you can cultivate with confidence and without needing to condense Soul Power or anything like that. However, if your adaptability is insufficient, then you will encounter a Soul Power level plateau, where the Soul Pressure inside your body and the Soul Pressure outside your body reach a balance, making it impossible to increase your Soul Power. At this time, you can only try to increase the external Soul Pressure or refine the quality of your Soul Power in order to break through. And a breakthrough is the sign of an increase in adaptability level."

"If you understand this concept, then to go back to the point, level ten is the minimum threshold for becoming a god, and level twenty indicates the potential to become a god on one's own. However, since the angelic family is small, there's no need for it. Compared to level twenty, level thirty is only slightly stronger in the early stages. After becoming a god, they wield higher-level divine power and will also push their cultivation speed to the limits of their bodies."

That's what they say, but Chen Hong overlooked one problem. That is, ordinary gods don't have the bug of increasing their tolerance limit like the Life Divine Rune.

In other words, if Chen Hong and Ye Lingling's current combination were upgraded in the God Realm, they could still achieve a cultivation speed equivalent to that of a God King!

However, Chen Hong didn't care about any of that. He had something more important to do: Ning Quan had woken up.

"Congratulations, the surgery was a success! You're a girl now!"

Ning Quan: ? ? ?
