Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline

Three thousand years?

"That's enough. As long as it's effective, that's good. Xiao Ming can only use a soul ring that lasts for a maximum of one thousand years."

"A thousand years?" Su Can asked in surprise.

“I found two pieces of Millennium Whale Glue for Xiaoming, and I’ve added them to his daily diet these past few months. He can now withstand a 1,300-year-old soul ring without any problem,” said Poison Undying.

"The Soul Masters of your Douluo Three Kingdoms really know how to cultivate," Su Can remarked.

"The soul tool works quite well too," said Poison Undying.

The Body Sect is a pure Soul Master faction. Their rejection of using Soul Tools doesn't mean they look down on them. Rather, it's because most Soul Masters in the Body Sect fight with their bodies, which is the key to their daily combat skills. Soul Tools can hardly play a role in enhancing these skills.

After all, it would be too much to ask a group of Soul Masters who are good at close combat to carry Soul Guidance Cannonballs to bombard targets.

Even outside of combat, Soul Masters of the Body Sect still use Soul Tools. For example, they use flying Soul Tools to travel, and they use corresponding functional Soul Tools for building or digging.

This time, Su Ming developed a soul guidance array that can help absorb soul rings. The disciples of the Body Sect will definitely use it when absorbing soul rings in the future.

"Grandpa, there's more, I have another magic array."

The magic array that Su Ming had shown Su Can before was one that was just a step away from transforming his soul. Now he has taken out another one, which is to help him condense his soul core.

"There's another set?"

Su Can was surprised and quickly took the second set of magic arrays to study them.

The more Su Can studied it, the more alarmed he became.

"Could my grandson be an unparalleled genius among Soul Masters?"

This person might have the potential to become a god-level soul master!

Chapter 35 Su Ming's Expectations

This second set of magic arrays isn't particularly powerful.

Its effect is very obvious: it binds the target's soul power.

However, the nested structure was clearly designed to strengthen this binding ability, and many structures related to soul power were also added.

Based on Su Ming's situation, Su Can quickly understood what the magic array was for and its significance.

This is a custom-made magic circle designed to meet one's own needs!

This requires an extremely profound understanding of the core magic array; it means that the essence of the core magic array has been grasped!

How can this be?

Su Can studied the array blueprints again and again, and finally found some inconsistencies, which he pointed out to Su Ming.

"In that case, the breakthrough is truly secure."

After Su Can finished explaining the functions of the two magic arrays, Du Bu Si felt relieved.

The first set of these two formations allows Su Ming to be less affected by the absorption process of the soul ring when condensing his soul core, while the second set increases Su Ming's chances of success by 30%.

Unfortunately, the two sets of magic arrays used were too rudimentary, and could only work on low-level Soul Masters. The first set was fine and could be used on other disciples, but the second set could only be used by Su Ming, since he was the only one who could condense a Soul Core in front of the Soul Sect.

"Since the magic array is working properly, it's time to set off."

"By the way, Poison Sect Master, I've found three children with original martial souls. You can take them with you after the soul hunting is complete."

Three?

Poison didn't kill him, and his eyes lit up.

How old are you?

“One is under seven years old, and the other two are eight years old,” Su Can said.

Poison Undying's smile deepened.

"It seems there are still many undiscovered family members on the mainland. Our sect really shouldn't have given up on the Sun Moon Empire before."

Upon hearing this, Su Ming seemed to be deep in thought.

Therefore, this is actually the key reason why his joining the Body Sect can influence the future.

Even without his ideas, Su Can, as an eighth-level Soul Master, would find it very convenient to search for children with Body Spirits within the territory, which would quickly shatter the Body Sect's mindset.

It's important to know that the most fundamental reason for the decline of the Body Sect in the original work was the lack of inheritance, and the biggest trigger for this lack of inheritance was actually the death of Du Busi.

If he hadn't self-destructed with the Sun Moon Empire, the Body Sect wouldn't have lost its lineage.

The unification of the Sun and Moon Empire is an inevitable trend, and the Body Sect is fighting desperately on the road to unification. The fact that the Body Sect still exists when the Sun and Moon Federation was established shows that the Sun and Moon royal family is very enlightened.

“A thirteen hundred years of endurance seems just right,” Su Can said. “The third soul ring I prepared for Xiao Ming was a star tree that was over twelve hundred years old.”

"The Star Tree?"

Su Ming was pleasantly surprised.

This is a very rare soul beast, and of extremely high quality.

Soul beasts that can be associated with the star attribute are all extraordinary. This Star Tree cultivates by drawing upon the power of stars, making it a true top-tier soul beast.

Poison couldn't kill him, which surprised him greatly.

Su Can smiled and said, "Our Su family, or rather, the soul master families within the Sun Moon Empire, all record information about suitable soul beasts. When a soul master in the family needs one, we hunt them down. This way, we can spend less time hunting soul beasts and have more time to research soul tools."

The research on soul tools alone has kept the soul masters in the Sun Moon Empire from even cultivating their soul power, forcing them to rely on drugs to keep up with the progress, let alone hunting souls.

It can only be said that the Soul Masters have gone to great lengths to free up more time to research Soul Tools.

"Then let's choose this Star Tree," said Poison Immortal.

Without delay, the three set off that very night.

The Star Tree is a plant-type soul beast with low intelligence, unlike a hundred-year-old individual soul beast of the same quality, making it more suitable as a soul spirit.

Su Ming was extremely excited during the journey.

When Su Ming from Dou Yi was transforming his soul spirit, all three Su Mings were very excited and paid close attention to the result of that soul spirit transformation. Su Ming from Dou Er, in particular, checked the result immediately and tried the Thousand Refinement technique.

Of course, the result was not ideal; he did not succeed and could not achieve spiritual enlightenment.

This time, Su Ming from Dou Er transformed into a soul spirit ahead of schedule, and all three Su Mings were paying attention, especially Su Ming from Dou San.

Su Ming in Douluo Continent I couldn't change the timeline, but Su Ming in Douluo Continent II could!

Once Su Ming in Douluo Continent II successfully transforms his soul spirit, it means he will become the creator of soul spirits, which will directly change many aspects of the future.

In fact, the so-called altered history has little impact. After all, there are only three real Su Mings, and the impact is limited to these three points. As for the impact in between, it simply means that Su Ming knows a few more or fewer details about the history of Dou San.

The changes in history are secondary.

For Su Ming, the most anticipated thing is its significance and its reputation!

"If I become the founder of the Soul Spirits, then I will be able to get a share of the faith that belongs to the Soul Spirits!"

Even if it was Su Ming from Dou Er who changed all this, Su Ming from Dou San should still be able to enjoy the faith, right?

A Soul Beast Forest in the western part of the Sun Moon Empire.

"The Star Tree is just ahead."

Looking from afar, Su Ming saw the ten-meter-tall tree with starlight flowing on its trunk, as if it were transparent, revealing the starlight flowing inside. The starlight flowed down from the crown and into the roots.

The stars twinkled in the treetops, drawing upon the power of the stars in the sky.

A hazy, starlight-filled mist enveloped the star tree.

"Twelve hundred years." Poison Undying confirmed the age of the Star Tree and immediately took action without saying a word.

His body grew taller, instantly transforming into a ten-meter-tall giant, as tall as the Star Tree. He kicked the Star Tree trunk directly, snapping it in half.

The Star Tree fell to the ground, and the starlight flowing inside quickly dimmed.

Seeing this, Su Ming stepped forward and quickly inscribed a soul-guiding array.

Poison Undying moved too fast for him to react, and the Star Tree was even faster.

"Xiao Ming, hurry!"

Poison Undying was still urging Su Ming to finish him off.

Su Ming felt helpless and sped up the process of setting up the magic array.

When the magic circle was formed, he turned his head and saw that the Star Tree had not completely perished. He breathed a sigh of relief, activated the magic circle, and went forward to finish it off.

The soul of the Star Tree did not dissipate after its death, but was bound by a magic array and forcibly made a contract with Su Ming.

This is the power of the soul contract in later generations.

Even a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, once killed, cannot escape its soul. It will inevitably be transformed into a soul spirit and thrown into the Soul Spirit Tower. It will stay in the Soul Spirit Tower for ten, a hundred, or even a thousand years, and then it will fully understand the situation. If it wants to go out and see the outside world, it can choose a suitable soul master and become his soul spirit.

Like thousand-year-old soul beasts, after being killed, they can even directly form a contract with a soul master to become a soul spirit, because their intelligence is not enough and their resistance is completely insufficient to break free from the contract.

The effect of the magic array exceeded Su Can's expectations.

He was taken aback when he saw the phantom of the Star Tree, imbued with the power of stars, suddenly appear in mid-air.

Then, before he could react, the phantom directly established a contract with Su Ming and subsequently merged into Su Ming's body.

"Oh no, I must have been too hasty just now, and Xiao Ming's engraving of the magic array has gone wrong!" Su Can said anxiously.

Even if the poison doesn't kill, he'll still frown.

I should have held back.

This star tree was too fragile; it was broken in one kick.

What kept the two relatively stable was Su Ming's condition; Su Ming's expression remained unchanged, no different from when he was normally absorbing a soul ring.

After the purple spirit ring merged into his body, it quickly helped him break through the barrier, allowing his spirit power to break through level 20. A faint purple halo appeared around his body along with the yellow spirit ring of his first spirit ring.

Chapter 36 False Beliefs?

When his soul power broke through level 20, Su Ming's brows began to furrow.

"We're about to condense the soul core. You're inscribing the magic array, so don't make any mistakes," Poison Undying reminded him.

Su Can's expression turned serious as he began to inscribe the magic array.

He dared not make any mistakes and quickly placed the several pieces of rare metal that he had prepared in different locations.

After arranging these magic array cores, he began to use his soul power to draw upon the patterns within each piece of rare metal, thus constructing soul power channels in the void.

Finally, a six-pointed star array was formed, suppressing Su Ming in the center.

Feeling the pressure from the magic array, Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

His soul power was restricted, and very little soul power could flow through his meridians at the same time. As a result, his meager soul power was enough to cover all the meridians in his body.

This is the key to condensing the soul core, which involves the connection between the condensed soul core and the energy within the body's meridians.

If only a few meridians are used to condense the soul core, not to mention whether the soul core can still circulate with the soul power in other meridians after condensation, the impact on other unused meridians during the soul core collapse process is a huge unknown.

A complete loop is not enough.

Pressure is still needed.

Fortunately, the magic array also provided a way to compress his soul power.

Not only the magic array, but his soul power was also being compressed.

After absorbing the second soul ring, his soul power broke through level 20, reaching level 21 directly, and it hasn't stopped yet, rapidly advancing towards level 22 and 23.

During this process, his soul power also received feedback and was gradually compressed.

Taking advantage of the compression of his soul power, he suddenly concentrated his soul power in his dantian.

boom!

At that moment, Su Ming felt a roar.

The soul power within his body was instantly drained and concentrated in his dantian, forming a vortex.

Strands of soul power emerged from countless corners within his body. This was the soul power he had cultivated before but had not yet revealed. It replenished his parched meridians and seamlessly connected with the vortex-shaped soul power.

The vortex gradually stabilized and became an important driving force for the soul power within Su Ming's body.

Driven by this vortex, Su Ming quickly completed a full cycle of soul power circulation, taking less than half the time he used before!
