Douluo Continent: The Heavenly Book Transforms into Mortals

Chapter 58 Breaking the Limits of Talent in an Alternative Way (Please add to your favorites!!!)

This chapter is a bit mind-bending; upon careful analysis, it forms the foundation for the protagonist's future advantage in cultivation speed.

Back at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Qin Ming told Su Wen to return to his dormitory and cultivate on his own to stabilize his soul power.

Su Wen naturally wouldn't refuse, and after returning to his dormitory, he continued to calmly ponder his previous assumptions.

"Logically, there is no problem; the next step is practice."

Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.

If certain experiments are used to verify some of the pure conjectures in the hypothesis, then it is no longer a conjecture; once it is verified, it becomes a true theory.

"It's easy to verify."

Although Su Wen is not able to focus on cultivating his Origin Soul Power for the time being, he can suppress the generation of Origin Soul Power.

In the past, when it came to the energy penetration of the Martial Soul Space, Su Wen always used forceful urging.

The soul power of the soul ring was actively infiltrated into the martial soul space by him, which was also the result of the joint efforts of his own soul power and source soul power.

The same applies to suppressing the birth of source soul power.

Even with the suppression of the birth of his source soul power, he continued to cultivate and indeed felt that his cultivation speed had decreased significantly.

On the contrary, the speed of soul power recovery increases.

"Therefore, I absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth through three pathways: digestion by the physical body and soul separately, and digestion by both."

If the co-digestion portion is suppressed, then the consumption of the other two pathways will be even greater.

This allowed Su Wen's soul power to recover faster.

"Let's test your mental strength."

Su Wen consumed his spiritual power to suppress the birth of his source soul power while absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"Sure enough, my mental energy is recovering much faster now."

That's why it offers so few benefits for cultivation.

The three pathways compete for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that the Soul Master can absorb. At the same time, the lack of Soul Power itself will drive the physical body to crave the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, thereby driving the recovery of spiritual power and even the birth of source Soul Power.

The three factors influence each other.

There is competition, but also mutual promotion.

If the generation of source soul power is suppressed simply to increase the recovery speed, thus disrupting this healthy relationship, then the soul master's gains in battle will also be affected.

After all, it's easier to break through in battle, which is why people go into battle.

However, going into battle now would only reduce one's gains, which is very unwise.

"This might work in certain matches, but it's not suitable for improving recovery speed in daily training battles," Su Wen thought to himself.

A simple experiment allowed Su Wen to verify his hypothesis.

At the same time, he was extremely excited.

"Although this balance cannot be disrupted in battle, daily meditation and cultivation can completely suppress the other two pathways to increase the proportion of the source soul power that consumes the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

For some reason, Su Wen inexplicably thought of the chemistry he had studied in his previous life, and the analysis of the quantitative changes between products and reactants and the rates of forward and reverse reactions in some reversible equations.

"When meditating, if soul power is consumed, there needs to be a replenishment process. If one way of replenishment is suppressed, then another way of replenishment is needed, which means increasing the demand for source soul power."

The demand for Source Soul Power is greater, and other ways of competing with the birth of Source Soul Power for the primordial energy of heaven and earth are suppressed.

Under this dual influence, the generation of Source Soul Power will increase and accelerate!

"Perfect!"

Su Wen was very excited and prepared to study a method to suppress the physical body from digesting the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

"By covering the whole body with spiritual power and integrating it into the whole body, and even fusing spiritual power with soul power as much as possible, one can effectively suppress the physical body's independent digestion of the primordial energy of heaven and earth."

No, it shouldn't just be the physical body that's being suppressed, but the soul as well.

That's not right either; the wording is still unclear.

It must have changed some kind of relationship between the physical body and the soul, resulting in a change in the pathways between the three. Not only are the two pathways for digestion no longer convenient, but the difficulty of generating source soul power has also decreased.

Su Wen nodded.

"In that case, when I cultivate in the future, I only need to explore the techniques of integrating spiritual power into soul power to maximize the generation of source soul power!"

Suddenly, an idea struck him.

With the existence of the visualization library, Su Wen's thoughts did not wander.

"Am I merging my soul and body by doing this? Or, will doing this increase my fusion with my martial spirit?"

Su Wen's ability to sense his own Martial Soul Space has already made his Martial Soul's fusion level far exceed that of other Soul Masters of the same level.

Now, if he actively studies the techniques for fusing spiritual power and soul power, even if he gains nothing, the process of his source soul power being constantly generated during his cultivation will promote the fusion.

"These are all positive developments!"

That night, Su Wen used his second soul skill to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, adjusting the intensity of his soul skill and searching for the optimal level.

One night passed.

"The concentration of the gathered spiritual energy cannot be too high, otherwise it will consume too much energy to maintain and make it impossible to continue cultivation for a whole night."

The higher the concentration that can be gathered at the same time, the better the effect.

Therefore, we need to find a balance.

"My cultivation speed has increased by at least 10%, and if I find the optimal solution, it might reach 20%."

"Moreover, this is only the most primitive method."

Simply improving the supply and demand relationship of the primordial energy of heaven and earth can produce such an effect. What if we actively circulate the source soul power?

"Cultivate Origin Soul Power like you cultivate Soul Power and Spiritual Power." Su Wen couldn't help but have this thought.

"Let's give it a try."

After that, Su Wen returned to his normal cultivation routine.

The difference is that while he was cultivating, he was also exploring the possibility of directly cultivating source soul power.

half a month later.

"It's theoretically feasible, but I need to generate more source soul power than I consume it in order to accumulate it within the martial soul space."

During the bottleneck period before reaching level ten, one cannot accumulate source soul power within the martial soul space.

However, if more is generated than is consumed, there can be a stockpile.

After storing it, use the stored source soul power to promote the accumulation of more source soul power.

"The significance of doing this is that it has broken through the limits of my cultivation."

He broke the cultivation speed limit brought by the quality of his martial soul. Even if it could not be reflected in his soul power level, he could wait until the level was a multiple of ten to obtain a soul ring and then fully reflect the accumulated source soul power into his soul power level.

In other words, Su Wen will no longer need to engage in the abnormal behavior of staying at a level of ten and not acquiring a soul ring.

"Hahaha, this is really great!" Su Wen was as happy as a 200-pound child.

However, his expression immediately turned bitter.

His extraordinary perception is his talent, not his extraordinary control.

He has always relied on his extraordinary perception to control the soul power within his body since he began cultivating, which has made him quite adept at this.

But there are limits.

Now, without affecting his normal life, he has reached his limit in maintaining his soul power according to the internal energy path at all times.

To continue manipulating the source soul power, and even to maintain its operation in a form similar to a cultivation technique.
