Douluo Continent: A Man of Unparalleled Talent and Heaven-Defying Comprehension

Chapter 44 Ultimate Attributes

[Remember to read the author's notes at the end of each chapter; there are quite a few there, and they're included in the author's notes section, not counting towards the main text.]

Laughing at the world's surprise.

When he absorbed a ten-thousand-year-old spirit ring as his fifth spirit ring, he felt like he was about to reach level fifty-two.

The peak of level 51 is just before reaching level 52.

And what about Su Yu?

He absorbed a soul ring that was 15,000 years old!

Moreover, Su Yu was only level 40 before absorbing the spirit ring.

Even if the absorption is incomplete, it should still be able to reach the peak of level 42, or even level 43 if things go normally, right?

How come I'm only at level 41?

Moreover, it has only just reached level forty-one.

It gives the impression that something might fall.

Compared to Xiao Hongchen's confusion, Jing Hongchen smiled.

"really."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Jing Hongchen laughed heartily, extremely excited.

"Grandpa, Su Yu has just broken through to the first level of soul power."

"What do you know, kid!"

Upon hearing Xiao Hongchen's words, Jing Hongchen slapped Xiao Hongchen on the head, feeling utterly disappointed in him.

"I've told you before, while research on soul tools is important, the foundation of everything is still soul power. I don't expect you to be the best at martial soul cultivation, but you can't be completely ignorant about it, right?"

Laughing at the injustices of the mortal world.

"Xiao Yu's martial soul has evolved to its ultimate attribute."

Jing Hongchen grinned, still looking very excited.

Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, examples of ultimate attributes are extremely rare.

And the top-tier individuals from each generation, once they grow up, almost all become figures who stir up the winds and waves on the continent.

Unfortunately, such Soul Masters always seem to appear at Shrek Academy.

But things are different now.

The Sun Moon Empire, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, has a Soul Master with the ultimate attributes!

The strength of a martial soul with ultimate attributes far exceeds that of an ordinary martial soul, but it also comes at a price: a much slower cultivation speed.

Cultivating ultimate attributes requires more refined soul power, and the cultivation speed is extremely slow between levels 30 and 70.

Su Yu's martial soul only reached its ultimate attribute after absorbing the fourth soul ring. The part he lacked between level 30 and level 40 was made up for by the soul power of the sword grass soul ring.

The extreme attributes caused his soul power to shrink significantly in quantity in order to compensate for the quality of his soul power.

With the total amount remaining the same, it can be seen that the density has increased, resulting in a smaller volume.

Level 41, the fact that it hasn't fallen below level 40 already shows how powerful this sword grass's soul ring is.

"It cannot be considered a truly ultimate attribute."

Su Yu shook his head; he knew best the current situation of the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

It can be said that with the blessing of the mutated sword grass, the life attributes of his Blue Silver Grass martial soul have been completely transformed.

However, it was still a little short.

It's not that the quantity of life attributes is insufficient, nor that the quality is lacking.

"The essence of Blue Silver Grass is still too weak."

It wasn't a failure of evolution, but rather that it got too fat in one bite.

Blue Silver Grass has reached the pinnacle of life attributes, but the strength of the martial soul itself has not kept up.

Being inherently weak does not mean that the upper limit is locked, but if the leap is too large, it will not be easy to digest.

As time goes by, Su Yu's Blue Silver Grass will gradually improve to the corresponding level.

Because Su Yu didn't have a clear standard for absorbing the previous three spirit rings, he didn't know whether he had reached his limit or not.

However, Su Yu now clearly felt the power of his transformation into the ultimate attribute.

Attributes are discovered, and martial spirits are driven to evolve.

This is a very clear perception.

"My Blue Silver Grass still needs time to mature; it will take a few more years before it can transform into a true ultimate martial soul."

Jing Hongchen was not disappointed by this.

"It's okay. Even though it only has the best attributes for now, it's better than having no hope at all."

They've already entered the community, but they're still not used to it.

"Extreme life attributes—that's quite an amazing existence even in the entire Douluo Continent, isn't it?"

Extreme ice and extreme fire are relatively common attributes because martial souls with these two attributes are very common, and extreme power also appears occasionally.

But the ultimate form of life, I've never heard of it.

After absorbing the spirit ring, the three of them didn't delay and returned to Mingdu at a relatively fast pace. On the way, Su Yu explained the effects of his fourth spirit ring in more detail.

"My fourth soul skill is the Grass Sword Technique, which can imbue Blue Silver Grass with sword energy attacks. The strength of the sword energy can be increased as my soul power increases, and it is equivalent to the level of the mutated sword grass under the same soul power."

In addition, the fourth soul skill can be combined with the God-Slaying Sword. By using the God-Slaying Sword to unleash the fourth soul skill, one can gather the energy of heaven and earth to create a devastating slash.

The more soul power and vital energy are gathered, the stronger the burst of power will be.

After listening to Su Yu's introduction, Jing Hongchen was deeply moved.

He had witnessed the power of that mutated sword grass.

At that time, all sixteen suppression shells were level six, and they were used in conjunction to suppress the enemy. The sword grass broke through the restraints by piercing through the surface. The power of that attack was no less than that of a Soul Saint's full-force attack.

Jing Hongchen felt that under his pressure, the mutated sword grass underwent a transformation at that moment.

However, he still killed him in the end, without dwelling on it too much.

"Cultivating the ultimate attribute is very slow from level 30 to 70, so be prepared."

Before parting ways, Jing Hongchen gave Su Yu a reminder.

He was worried that Su Yu wouldn't be able to accept the fact that his soul power cultivation was progressing at such a snail's pace. After all, Su Yu was only thirteen years old, yet he had already reached level forty.

On average, Su Yu advanced five and a half levels in a year!

After achieving the ultimate attribute, Su Yu's cultivation will become much more difficult, and he might not even be able to advance one level in a year.

Only Shrek Academy has ever produced a Soul Master with the ultimate attribute. Other academies have also produced Soul Masters with the ultimate attribute, but their cultivation was too slow, preventing them from reaching level 70 and thus failing to unleash the full potential of their ultimate Martial Soul.

Jing Hongchen didn't know how Shrek Academy had managed to improve their cultivation of ultimate attribute martial souls. However, their Sun Moon Empire certainly didn't lack resources for soul power cultivation.

"Medicinal baths, pills, medicinal meals—arrange them all. I refuse to believe Su Yu can't grow stronger."

Back in his dormitory, Su Yu took out a perfectly round pill and swallowed it.

Jing Hongchen improved his treatment.

The medicinal meals were no longer provided by the academy, but by Mingde Hall itself, and were provided to Su Yu according to the quota for a seventh-level soul master.

In addition to medicinal cuisine, there are also pills, all kinds of pills to aid cultivation, with almost no side effects, and Su Yu will be given one every month.

There are also medicinal baths.

Jing Hongchen has already instructed the relevant personnel of Mingde Hall to make the necessary arrangements.

These three points alone demonstrate Jing Hongchen's determination to cultivate Su Yu.

Not to mention Jing Hongchen, after Kong Deming returns and learns about Su Yu's situation, he will probably provide additional resources.

Compared to Jing Hongchen, Su Yu was not worried about his future cultivation speed.

"We've already figured out quite a few routes for the circulation of soul power, enough to perfect and optimize the cultivation technique."

Elder Yi has also awakened; perhaps we can consult Elder Yi for guidance on perfecting the cultivation technique.

Finally, mental cultivation techniques can also assist in cultivation.

Look here!!!

Look here!!!

Look here!!!

Someone was stirring up trouble. I was so angry yesterday. I don't usually swear, but I really couldn't hold back yesterday.

Let me explain again. There's no level suppression; this is what the ultimate attributes look like. I've already explained it clearly in this chapter, everyone. Although the protagonist's cultivation is more difficult, his cultivation techniques will be perfected, and his mental power cultivation will also be improved in a way that can assist in soul power cultivation. There's also Elder Yi.

The overall speed of the protagonist's improvement will not decrease; on the contrary, it may be accelerated by me.

Also, don't say that the quality of soul power is useless. The setting is already very clear whether it is useful or not. The ultimate attribute is invincible at the same level. Why do you think it is invincible at the same level?

Some people are saying that it's a waste of effort to compress soul power, yet in the end, they couldn't defeat Huo Yuhao after fighting for so long. Am I brain-dead, or are the people spreading this nonsense brain-dead? Who would have the time to make a level 40 protagonist lose to a level 20 supporting character?

A Martial Soul Fusion Skill? The protagonist can't interrupt it, right? Who's stupid enough to know someone has a Martial Soul Fusion Skill and give them the chance to fuse? (Ahem, the protagonist fought Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen on purpose to show off his strength, but he definitely wouldn't do that in a formal competition. He'd do whatever makes it easy for them.)

In the end, those who still insist that I'm suppressing my level, absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring in the fourth ring, and only reaching level forty-one, are still suppressing my level.

All I can say is, go read the original novel. When the God King of Douyi absorbed the Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Demon Spider's Soul Ring as his fourth Soul Ring, do you know how many levels he reached after absorbing it? Level 41!

Alright, how should you respond?
