Chapter 82: The Third Stage of Soul Rings! [Bonus Chapter for 800 Subscriptions!]

[The Sage's Logical Trap]!

An invisible spiritual fluctuation instantly enveloped Ning Rongrong's head, drawing a mysterious and profound pale golden divine pattern on her forehead.

Chen Hong's various strange skills, whose names he simply called out whatever came to mind, all had the same effect: allowing different people to maintain a high level of mental concentration in different ways.

Through the various soul and mental experimental data provided to Chen Hong by the Evil Soul Emperor Qianyu, Chen Hong became more and more proficient in using the [Sage] technique and more and more adept at handling the changes in moves.

Chen Hong divided his research on soul rings into three steps, or three realms. The first is the realm of form, where all soul ring skills require a fixed form and cannot be changed at will.

The second realm is the realm of intention, where the soul ring and soul skill can change according to the user's will. For example, Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Line can only be sprayed from his mouth, but if he reaches the second realm of the soul ring, then he can use any organ he wants to spray flames.

Second brother: We all have heads and mouths, so why is it that only you, with your big head and big mouth, can breathe fire?

Chrysanthemum: Yes, yes, yes! Second Brother is right! Me too!

Chen Hong had investigated and found that Soul Masters did not have organs that could breathe fire, water, ice, or unknown liquids. It was just a kind of "rule fragments" of Soul Power. Under the control of the divine runes in the Soul Ring, Soul Power was directly transformed into different effects through the divine runes in the form of rules.

Essentially, spraying water with the big head is the same as spraying water with the small head, because neither the big head nor the small head participates in the process of spraying water; they merely provide an anchor point for the conversion of soul power.

As long as you can move this anchor point, you can spray things from any part of your body you can think of. If you go a step further, you can even make other objects extend your spirit rings, controlling other people's small heads to spray things like flames and ice.

Of course, the above are all vulgar uses that fit Ma Hongjun's style.

Chen Hong's application of this second realm of soul rings extends to soul tools, allowing them to become an integral part of the body. Various soul skills can be launched in a more powerful way with the support of the external soul power of the soul tool. This is the normal usage of the soul ring intent realm.

Chen Hong had barely reached this level a year ago, but his initial attempt at using it backfired when he was subdued by Ye Lingling, a girl who had no hands to subdue him.

After a year of growth, and with the excellent research material of the Evil Soul Emperor Qianyu, Chen Hong's understanding of the Soul Ring Realm became even more profound.

The "Sage's Finger," which he once considered a disgrace, was merely a rudimentary application. He was now able to use his eyes to launch his own soul rings and soul skills. Even the soul rings that would involuntarily appear when a soul master used a soul skill were anchored in Chen Hong's eyes.

Because a spirit ring is an intangible entity, and its release logic is exactly the same as that of a spirit skill, as long as its appearance anchor point can be controlled, it can appear anywhere.

Chen Hong called the third realm of the Soul Ring the Realm of Harmony between Heaven and Man, which is also the Realm of Domains.

As the name suggests, domain refers to a field or territory.

Different soul skills may have different properties and forms of expression, but Chen Hong can clearly recognize that his first soul skill, [Sage Time], once he can break through to the third realm, will eventually form a sage domain. Everyone within the domain will be sage-ified to varying degrees by his sage domain.

Of course, this is still a realm that exists only in Chen Hong's imagination, and it needs to be verified by Chen Hong himself.

Well. Although both Chen Hong and Yu Xiaogang are theoretical masters, Yu Xiaogang may have a richer understanding of martial spirits than Chen Hong. However, Chen Hong has a quality that Yu Xiaogang does not have: Chen Hong truly starts from reality. His theories are always based on practice and will never contain anything purely theoretical.

Chen Hong is someone who has truly researched and developed his own unique methods, and has put them into practice. Without practical application, Chen Hong would not dare to release anything to harm others.

Chen Hong's three realms of spirit rings alone, this stage of research achievement in the field of spirit rings, is enough to surpass Yu Xiaogang's "Ten Theories of Martial Souls".

However, Chen Hong was not as fortunate as Yu Xiaogang, who lived off a wealthy woman. He was too weak to publish his research results and could only improve them slowly on his own.

A true master always has the heart of a student.

Chen Hong, the "apprentice" possessing the power of six elements, is still diligently researching soul rings. Meanwhile, "Grandmaster" Yu Xiaogang has already independently developed the "Ten Theories of Martial Souls," a work that transcends time.

In the trial grounds, under everyone's gaze, the young man, whose expression was always so calm, as if even a collapsing Mount Tai wouldn't falter, suddenly had a yellow halo appear in his black eyes. Then, the gentle girl who had been smiling earlier stood there, stunned, muttering to herself:

"Egg. Chicken. Egg."

The "Sage's Logic Trap" technique has explained Ning Rongrong's current state very clearly. Chen Hong first presented Ning Rongrong with a logic trap question that could be looped continuously, causing Ning Rongrong to subconsciously focus all her attention on that question. Then, the "Sage's" eye technique was activated, causing the unsuspecting Ning Rongrong to concentrate all her rationality and attention on that logic trap question, looping it rapidly and simply. Her brain lost the ability to process other things, thus appearing to outsiders as if she had fallen into a state of idiocy.

Just like when an extra line of code is accidentally added to a computer, it can cause an algorithm to recurs infinitely, repeating itself millions of times per second, eventually leading to hardware failure and program crash.

Oh.

Sorry, everyone please step aside. I'm going to stick this up.

The yellow halo in Chen Hong's eyes slowly dissipated. He stood beside Ning Rongrong, who had a dazed expression, looked at the other six people not far away, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up slightly. He said in a calm tone, "Since you are not satisfied with me interacting with you as an ordinary person, then I will lay my cards on the table."

"Chen Hong, Martial Soul: Psychic Power, Level 17 Spirit-type Support Soul Master."

"A name that sounds unfamiliar, right? Don't panic, here's a hint: the Technology Chamber of Commerce, the Soul Engine is from my family."

Chen Hong stood quietly in place. Ning Rongrong, who was standing next to him, was already steaming from her head, her eyes were glazed, and her face was flushed, which added an eerie and terrifying aura to Chen Hong.

In the eyes of Dai Mubai and the others, Chen Hong only glanced at Ning Rongrong, and she seemed to have her soul taken away and become a puppet. It was terrifying!
