Chapter 421 Self-Derived Soul Ring? Useless! [Thanks to 'Book Friend 6358' for the donation]

Ning Quan, who had just woken up and was startled by Chen Hong's words, immediately reached up and frantically patted his body. Seeing that his manhood was still there, he breathed a sigh of relief: "What kind of joke is this!"

"Let's change your clothes first." Chen Hong placed a set of clothes next to Ning Quan's life support pod, then took Ye Lingling's hand and walked to the other side.

Soon, Ning Quan, dressed in a clean and tidy white robe, appeared before Chen Hong and Ye Lingling.

"What did you do to my body? I feel the soul power of heaven and earth rapidly converging on me." Ning Quan, whose face was covered with stubble, looked at his body in astonishment. In his perception, a large amount of soul power of heaven and earth was continuously converging on him.

At the same time, he was also very interested in the mysterious runes on his upper body. He could feel that those mysterious runes were continuously consuming his soul power and feeding back a rich life force. However, the soul power consumed by these runes seemed insignificant in the face of Ning Quan's terrifying soul power absorption.

At this moment, in order to visually observe the changes in Ning Quan's soul power data, Chen Hong used the [Radiance] ability to project a real-time panel in the laboratory:

[Name: Ning Quan]

[Soul Core: Level 30 (Red)]

Soul Power Level: Level 1.

Soon, Ning Quan's soul power level changed again [Level 2].

[Level 3]

For the first ten levels, Ning Quan's soul power level jumped at a rate of almost one level per minute until he reached level 10 and entered a new realm, at which point it paused slightly.

But very quickly, in the next moment...

Deng!

A dazzling martial spirit pattern suddenly appeared behind Ning Quan, who was dressed in white. Seven stars in the vast galaxy were connected together to form a star sword.

Then a crisp sound rang out, and a purple spirit ring instantly lit up around the spirit pattern! Ning Quan's aura surged instantly, and he successfully broke through, reaching level 11 in spirit power!

[The target's mental state is exhibiting unusual fluctuations; this is being recorded.]

The system voice of 【煌】 sounded the instant Ning Quan broke through on his own, recording all the 'pseudo-breakthrough' data information generated during Ning Quan's cultivation process.

After reaching level 11, Ning Quan's soul power level increased at a slightly slower rate, but he was still able to gain one level every three minutes.

Half an hour later, *clang!* A crisp sword sound rang out, and another purple soul ring appeared on the outer edge of Ning Quan's Martial Soul Wheel. The soul ring and the Martial Soul combined to form a mysterious and majestic Star Martial Soul Wheel.

Three hours later, *clang!* Another clear sword cry rang out, and three purple light patterns appeared outside the Martial Soul Wheel behind Ning Quan. In an instant, Ning Quan, who had his eyes closed and was in a meditative state, appeared extremely majestic and mysterious.

"This might be unprecedented observational data in the Douluo Continent." After Ning Quan entered a meditative state, Chen Hong found a stool and sat down to chat with Ye Lingling.

"The human form of a soul beast should be a state that humans should theoretically be able to achieve. Since the human form of a soul beast can condense soul rings, then in theory, humans should also have the potential to condense soul rings."

There are many phenomena in this world that have existed for a long time, but few Soul Masters will observe those phenomena that might unlock the mysteries of the world.

"Brother Hong is right! Logically speaking, the object of soul beast transformation is humans. Since soul beast humans can condense soul rings, there is no reason why humans cannot condense soul rings. Moreover, everyone has soul beast bloodline, only the degree differs, but the admission ticket is definitely available." Ye Lingling nodded seriously to Chen Hong, agreeing with Chen Hong's point of view.

The soul beast transforms into a human, and then condenses a soul ring.

Humans are humans, so why can't they condense soul rings?

"However, based on the current experimental results, it doesn't seem like the condensation of soul rings can be widely implemented, right?" Since officially becoming Chen Hong's deputy, Ye Lingling seems to have opened the door to wisdom. She highly approves of and understands many of Chen Hong's research ideas and can even offer her own different perspectives.

"Well, based on the current conclusions, the reason why transformed humans are gradually losing the ability to condense soul rings is that their bloodline power has been diluted. Of course, this is only a superficial phenomenon. We know that a soul ring is actually just a divine rune." Chen Hong crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair, looking at Ning Quan, whose soul power level was gradually stopping increasing, and spread his hands, revealing a sage divine rune.

"A soul beast will generally only possess one divine rune in its lifetime, and all of its soul skills are derived from that divine rune."

"After a soul beast takes human form, its soul remains unchanged. In other words, its soul still remembers the patterns of its natal divine runes and then derives from them. That is, it derives soul rings with different manifestations of its natal divine runes." Chen Hong watched as Ning Quan lit up his three original soul rings at once, his eyes flashing. He discovered that self-derived soul rings had almost no audience.

"What Brother Hong means is that the biggest difference between humans and transformed soul beasts in not being able to condense soul rings is that humans don't have their own innate divine runes?" Ye Lingling still managed to summarize.

"No." Chen Hong shook his head, patted Ye Lingling's head, and said softly, "The Martial Soul itself is a divine rune with random completeness."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Seven Star Sword, and the Nine Heart Begonia are three martial souls that cultivate their own martial soul divine runes.

"Some people have a very high degree of completeness, such as Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia. All the soul rings you have after that have no effect. They have all been assimilated by your life runes."

"Although Ning Quan's mental fluctuations were weak just now, they were still detected. He lit up three soul rings in succession, and his mental power produced special fluctuations. Through comparative analysis, at that moment, his mental power generated a brand new energy circuit, which is the Seven Stars, no, the Heavenly Power Divine Pattern."

"It takes tens of thousands of years of cultivation for soul beasts to comprehend their innate divine runes and thus condense a soul ring. Although humans are naturally intelligent, it is a bit too much to ask them to comprehend their martial soul divine runes in childhood."

Chen Hong sighed slightly. The secrets of self-derived soul rings had already unfolded before him, but unfortunately, although it was somewhat satisfactory, it still had flaws for a powerful figure like Chen Hong.

At least for Chen Hong, one spirit ring is equivalent to countless spirit skills, and self-generated spirit rings are essentially just occupying a spirit ring slot for nothing.

Chen Hong could equip nine soul skills with a single soul ring, but what if all nine soul rings were a single divine rune?

It's useless, it's useless.
