Douluo Continent: I possess astonishing wisdom as I control energy!

According to his rough estimate, he could become a Title Douluo around the age of sixteen or seventeen.

This efficiency is barely acceptable.

Electrolux's explanation continued.

"I currently have no ideas on how to break through to a million-year spirit ring, mainly because I lack reference sources, and the energy required to condense a million-year spirit ring is astronomical."

"I'm not entirely confident yet, so I haven't attempted to condense it."

"However, I speculate that a million-year-level spirit ring is roughly a qualitative change, touching the realm of gods. If resources are sufficient, I suggest continuing to study it in depth."

Kong Ming'an's heart stirred slightly as he recalled a certain Tianmeng that was probably still somewhere on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

He thought he might try fishing to lure Tianmeng out and then invite her over to assist in the research.

It is, after all, a million-year-old soul beast. Even if it is somewhat overrated, it still has reference value.

He collected his thoughts and continued, "Elder Yi, you just mentioned two major achievements?"

“Yes,” Electrolux nodded.

"The second achievement can actually be divided into two versions, but they are essentially the same," Electrolux said slowly.

"These are the 'Self-Condensing Soul Ring Technique' and the 'Condensing Soul Ring Technique'."

Chapter 94 Self-Condensing Soul Ring Technique and Soul Ring Condensation Technique

"As we all know, after a Soul Master reaches a bottleneck, he needs to kill Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings and absorb them in order to continue to improve his Soul Power level."

"The 'Self-Condensing Soul Ring Method' is a method that mimics the transformation of soul beasts to condense their own soul rings. It involves concentrating soul power to shape the soul rings."

"The lifespan of a spirit ring formed in this way depends on the amount of spirit power the spirit master possesses. Furthermore, this process of condensation can bypass the absorption of spirit rings; once condensed, the spirit ring is already fused into the individual."

"Furthermore, since the spirit ring is formed using one's own soul power, there is no issue of incompatibility. The only concern is the physical capacity to handle it."

"For 'Dharma Cultivators,' such a spirit ring would also make the modification of the 'Holy Guidance Spirit Ring' much easier."

Electrolux then changed the subject, pointing out the key point:

"However, this method has a high barrier to entry, because condensing a soul ring involves solidified soul power, which requires extremely precise control over soul power and a profound understanding of oneself."

"Therefore, as things stand, only Title Douluo, a type of Soul Master in the traditional Soul Master system, who has condensed a Soul Core and has already mastered the control of solidified Soul Power, can use it."

"But for Title Douluo, unless they have twin martial souls, they no longer need soul rings, so their position is a bit awkward. I haven't optimized it yet."

Electrolux paused briefly, then slowly raised a hand. Wisps of gray soul power began to gather and form, and in a moment, a ten-year soul ring emitting a soft white light appeared in his hand.

Kong Ming'an watched intently, the method by which Electrolux had just constructed his spirit rings flashing through his mind.

Electrolux continued, "This is the second method, 'Soul Ring Condensation Technique.' Similar to the 'Self-Condensing Soul Ring Technique,' the 'Soul Ring Condensation Technique' also requires a Title Douluo to perform."

"However, the spirit ring formed in this way is independent and can be absorbed by any spirit master. If no one absorbs it, such a spirit ring can exist for about half a day before it naturally dissipates."

"Such a spirit ring can be perfectly combined with the 'Fusion and Limit-Up Method'. By continuously condensing spirit rings and then fusing them to increase the age of the main spirit ring, a perfect closed loop can be formed, gradually pushing the spirit ring to its own limit."

"My current nine 100,000-year soul rings were achieved through this method."

"Furthermore, I don't recommend fusing the spirit rings of spirit beasts after their death as material to increase the age of spirit rings, because once fused, many useless memories and spirit power modules on the spirit beast's spirit ring will be integrated into the main spirit ring."

"This will waste a lot of time cleaning up the spirit rings, and the impact of the fusion process may also affect the existing spirit skill modules, thus creating potential hidden dangers."

"Compared to fusing with the spirit rings of a deceased spirit beast to increase their age, condensing 'artificial spirit rings' using one's own spirit power is more efficient."

Hyotei, standing to the side, had given up thinking. In the short time she had spent with Kong Ming'an, she had gradually learned how to ignore what they said.

After all, she really couldn't understand it.

If I actually listened, my brain would shut down for a while.

Hyotei glanced to her side, noticing Kong Ming'an's slightly gleaming eyes, as if he completely understood. Hyotei unconsciously pursed her lips.

Am I really that stupid? No, I don't think so.

Hyotei fell into self-doubt.

Kong Ming'an naturally paid no attention to Hyotei, focusing all his attention on the results of Electrolux's seclusion.

Sure enough, you're still the same old you.

These achievements, especially the synergy between the "Fusion Ascension Method" and the "Soul Ring Condensation Method," have almost directly increased the strength of the "Dharma Cultivation" system!

This even connects to the subsequent "Star Ring" technique, completing the entire "Dharma Cultivation" system and pointing out the path to the pinnacle.

Undoubtedly, its value is immeasurable.

……

……

A moment later, Kongming An and Hyotei left Electrolux's laboratory and returned to Kongming An's own laboratory.

Hmm. Electrolux is in seclusion again.

After Electrolux shared all his insights and achievements with Kong Ming'an, Kong Ming'an also shared all the results he had worked on during this period with Electrolux.

The content is roughly related to "new version of Soul Core", "Star Ring", "concept of ascending to godhood", "concept of becoming a god through soul power", and so on.

Electrolux then got an idea and went back into research mode.

Hyotei didn't know how to respond to this; they just felt that this guy didn't seem to have many normal people around him.

Kong Ming'an told Hyotei not to make a fuss.

The research involves mutual verification and discussion, and integration, especially among researchers in the same field, whose findings may just be able to compensate for the shortcomings of each other's findings.

Working in isolation is not advisable; the right path is to explore the collision of inspirations and results from different perspectives.

The laboratory lighting remained cool-toned, but Hyotei found it more comfortable here compared to Electrolux's laboratory.

With a light jump, Hyotei sat on the workbench, her hands supporting her on the edge, leaning slightly forward, her little feet swinging gently.

Those golden eyes gently fell upon the boy beside her, whose eyes gleamed with a pale blue light, as he sat in the chair.

She knew that the boy had probably found inspiration again.

Anyway, I don't have time to chat with her.

"tsk"

Hyotei pouted, her delicate face full of displeasure.

Just as Hyotei had expected, after receiving all the results and insights from Electrolux's research, Kong Ming'an was now lost in deep thought.

The results and insights began to be broken down, and then associations and summaries were made.

Kong Ming'an recalled the "Soul Ring Triad Theory" that he had proposed a long time ago.

In this theory, he deconstructs the spirit ring into three parts: "spirit power" as the carrier, "memory" as the spirit skill module, and "soul" as the triggering device.

At that time, he already knew that this theory was relatively crude and difficult to explain some problems, especially the interaction between spirit rings and the spirit master's own spirit, which had significant blind spots.

Thus, this theory can only be logically consistent to a certain extent, and cannot be universally applied.

However, at that time he didn't have time to refine the theory; he focused more on practical applications. As long as it could be used for intuitive explanation, it was sufficient; there was no need to go into excessive depth.

Now, he feels he needs to patch this theory again.

"There are two crucial points that cannot be ignored when a Soul Master obtains a Soul Ring," Kong Ming'an murmured softly, his gaze deepening as he immersed himself in his thoughts, sorting through countless ideas.

"There are two main points: 'the partial directional nature of soul skills and their adaptation to martial souls,' and 'the evolution of martial souls brought about by soul ring attachments.'"

Chapter 95 On the Evolution of Martial Souls Accompanied by Soul Rings

Firstly, "the partial directional nature of soul skills and the adaptation and modification of martial souls."

In the Douluo Continent, there is a common saying that the acquisition of soul skills by soul masters through absorbing soul rings is "random," but this is not actually the case.

For example, a power-attack type Soul Master hunted down a strength-type Soul Beast and obtained a Soul Ring.

As a power-attack type Soul Master, he naturally wouldn't want to acquire any defensive or supportive Soul Skills; deep down, he would crave a powerful offensive Soul Skill.

Thus, the Soul Master's own "will" came into being.

This "will" itself will subtly influence the remnant soul of the soul beast during the process of the soul master absorbing the soul ring, causing it to prioritize the selection of a memory, or rather, a soul skill module, that roughly aligns with the soul master's will.

Subsequently, the Soul Master's own Martial Soul power intervenes in the solidification process of the Soul Ring, acting like a skilled craftsman, "fine-tuning" and "optimizing" the selected Soul Skill module, imprinting it with the imprint of their own Martial Soul to make it perfectly compatible.

Here's a very direct example: the White Tiger Dai family of the Star Luo Empire. Besides their inherited martial soul, they also possess the White Tiger Three-Strike Axe technique, which has remained unchanged for millennia.

These are the "White Tiger Protective Barrier", the "White Tiger Blazing Light Wave", and the "White Tiger Vajra Transformation".

The White Tiger Martial Soul, sharing the same origin, absorbs similar Soul Beasts, and with the guidance of the so-called inherited will, it eventually solidifies into a Soul Skill that is highly similar and combined with the characteristics of the Martial Soul.

Of course, this point is not important for now. The real highlight is the second point, namely, "the evolution of the martial soul brought about by the addition of the soul ring".

As we all know, martial spirits can evolve after birth.

In this world, examples of martial soul evolution are not numerous, but they are certainly not few either.

In these cases, aside from those caused by Soul Masters consuming certain powerful rare and precious herbs, the rest were almost all cases that occurred after absorbing Soul Rings.

Here is a relatively clear example: Tang San from ten thousand years ago.

Although the spirit rings absorbed by Tang San's Blue Silver Grass spirit were somewhat challenging, it's undeniable that the Blue Silver Grass itself undergoes certain changes each time it absorbs a spirit ring from a different spirit beast.

For example, it may have been given a poison attribute or increased toughness.

Therefore, it can be proven that absorbing a spirit ring can promote changes in a martial spirit.

So the question is, what is the underlying principle?

After a brief moment of thought, Kong Ming'an broke it down into two levels:

Firstly, the fusion of remnant souls of soul beasts.

When a Soul Master fuses Soul Rings, their Martial Soul will instinctively devour or fuse with some of the remnants of Soul Beast Souls.

This process is similar to a forced "assimilation" or "incorporation." After the remnant soul is absorbed by the martial soul, some of its characteristics may become a certain attribute tendency or a change in its posture.

In short, it will definitely have a subtle influence on the martial spirit, causing it to mutate or evolve.

This actually explains to some extent why Soul Masters can use the Soul Skills within their Soul Rings with ease as soon as they obtain them.

Because the remnant souls of the spirit beasts in the spirit rings have been "tamed" by the martial spirit to some extent, becoming the martial spirit's "vassal" or "tool," similar to the "accomplice" in the story of a tyrant, but the relationship is closer and more controlled.

Secondly, the martial soul absorbs the energy of the soul ring and evolves under the impetus of the energy.

When a Soul Master absorbs a Soul Ring, it not only breaks through bottlenecks but also directly increases their Soul Power.

This directly proves that the pure energy contained within the spirit ring is absorbed by both the spirit master and the martial spirit.

Part of this energy is used to increase the level of soul power, while the other part is absorbed by the martial soul, becoming the "resources" that drive the essence of the martial soul to leap forward.

Using this supplementary theory, especially the idea that "spirit ring energy can drive the evolution of martial spirits," as a foundation, Kong Ming'an re-examined the "spirit ring condensation method" brought by Ilex, and suddenly understood.

At that moment, he saw an unprecedented possibility.

Firstly, and relatively directly, are the benefits of the "Soul Ring Condensation Technique" for "Dharma Cultivators".

Artificial spirit rings created using the "Spirit Ring Condensation Method" do not possess any spirit skills.

This is like a useless thing for the traditional Soul Master system, but for the "Magic Cultivator" system, it is simply a perfect vehicle tailored for them!

Eliminating the tedious and time-consuming step of "erasing useless memories of soul beasts," magic cultivators can directly condense their own developed or optimized soul skill modules onto blank soul rings.

Furthermore, if the soul power used to condense the soul ring comes from oneself, the condensation module will be even easier to use, which is a significant improvement in efficiency.

Furthermore, if it could be combined with the "Soul Imprinting Tool" that he is currently working on, it could even achieve a "Man-made Soul Ring + One-Click Soul Imprinting Skill" model.

This allows traditional Soul Masters to smoothly transition to the "Magic Cultivation - Imprinting School," greatly lowering the entry barrier for "Magic Cultivation" and increasing the speed of the system's spread.

And this may be the future path for "Dharma Revision".

Then, the second point...

This is even more revolutionary, conceived by Kong Ming'an, regarding the directional guidance of "artificial spirit rings" on "martial spirit evolution"!

Traditional spirit rings promote the evolution of martial spirits by relying on the dual effects of "spirit beast remnant soul traits" and "spirit ring energy."

Although the general direction of this process can be determined, there is still some randomness and uncontrollability involved.

And what about "artificial spirit rings"? They are formed from pure spirit power and do not contain any remnants of spirit beast souls.

For traditional Soul Masters, this is a drawback, since without the remnants of Soul Beasts, they can no longer use Soul Rings and Soul Skills in a simple, intuitive way.
