Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

Xu Yuan could be crazy and impulsive, but that was only when it involved his future potential. He could be impulsive then, but when it came to something like Spirit Ascension, where he could be steady, he could also calm his heart.

After watching a battle between a Soul King and an Ancient Ape, Xu Yuan's heart surged.

The power of Soul Masters was definitely not limited to the 'mystical floor tiles' mentioned in the memes he'd seen in his previous life.

Even if it was just floor tiles, it was still mystical!

After killing the Ancient Ape, Zhao Long needed to rest. Since Xu Yuan only needed Soul Beasts that were a few hundred years old, he told Zhao Long and went off to find them himself.

Three hours later.

Xu Yuan raised the Dream Demon Soul Spirit to around 1,500 years and then stopped killing Soul Beasts.

With that, he took the initiative to leave the Spirit Ascension Platform.

As for staying inside to find Soul Beasts to hone his combat skills, it was completely meaningless. Xu Yuan could do all of that at Shrek Academy later, in the Soul Arena and Beast Fighting Arena.

Forging Master Association.

"Pretty efficient. You got it done in just three days," Mu Ye said in surprise.

"Brother Long is strong. Hunting was super easy," Xu Yuan said with a chuckle.

"Okay, how many years did you raise it to?"

"Fifteen hundred years."

"Not bad. That's temporarily the limit your body can handle. You might be able to push it further, but there's no need," Mu Ye nodded and led Xu Yuan to the rooftop.

"Now that you're going to major in the Brain Martial Soul, it's time to teach you some methods for cultivating spiritual power," Mu Ye said as he brought Xu Yuan to the rooftop, mentioning the methods for cultivating spiritual power.

"Methods for cultivating spiritual power?"

Chapter 53: Soul Spirits are a Burden, but also a Weight

Regarding the cultivation of spiritual power, according to Xu Yuan's previous thoughts, he was going to develop a spiritual power cultivation technique.

Unfortunately, he only developed some techniques when his spiritual power was still restricted by his physique. Now that this restriction was lifted, Xu Yuan's spiritual power cultivation techniques were essentially useless.

"Ten thousand years ago, Soul Masters were actually still in a state of confusion regarding the cultivation of spiritual power. Even Spiritual Attribute Soul Masters mostly relied on the characteristics of their own Martial Souls, increasing their spiritual power while cultivating their Soul Power," Mu Ye began to explain, "But the Tang Sect is an exception. The Tang Sect has the Purple Demon Eyes, a method of eye training that also cultivates spiritual power. It is the earliest spiritual power cultivation method on the continent."

Xu Yuan naturally knew all of this. He also knew that this Purple Demon Eyes technique was stolen from another world by a certain Third Master.

"Spiritual power has always been a profound field. Even now, if a Soul Master's spiritual power is severely damaged, it is very difficult to treat. The Soul Master world is actually still in the exploratory stage when it comes to the cultivation of spiritual power."

"The emergence of Soul Spirits has greatly accelerated this exploration process."

"Soul Spirits?" Xu Yuan asked in surprise, not expecting the cultivation of spiritual power to be connected to Soul Spirits.

But he quickly understood, because he had also felt this before. After having a Soul Spirit, a Soul Master whose spiritual power reached 100 points could use the Soul Spirit to connect with the Sea of Spirit and sense it.

Ten thousand years ago, perhaps 100 points was still the minimum threshold for sensing the Sea of Spirit, but most Soul Masters didn't truly sense the Sea of Spirit until they reached at least 500 points, the Spirit Sea Realm, and even then, it required luck.

This alone meant that the existence of Soul Spirits had great significance for Soul Masters in exploring the cultivation of spiritual power.

"More than that," Mu Ye said with a smile after hearing Xu Yuan's explanation, "It's more than just assisting in opening up the Sea of Spirit."

He organized his thoughts and asked Xu Yuan rhetorically.

"How many levels of Soul Power, or rather, how old do you think Soul Masters were ten thousand years ago when their spiritual power could reach 100 points?"

Xu Yuan hadn't thought about this question and was stunned by Mu Ye's question.

Would Soul Masters ten thousand years ago reach 100 points of spiritual power faster than Soul Masters today?

He shook his head.

This required checking data. Xu Yuan hadn't paid attention to it before, so he naturally didn't know the data.

"Let's put it this way, the time it takes for a Soul Master who fuses with a Soul Spirit before their first Soul Ring, relying on the Soul Spirit to obtain their first Soul Ring, to grow their spiritual power to 100 points is generally 20% shorter than the time it takes for a Soul Master who hunts Soul Beasts to absorb their first Soul Ring."

"And that's just the general data. If it's a Soul Master who cultivates diligently, the reduction rate might even reach 40% or even 50%!"

Mu Ye was also very excited when he said this.

In fact, this kind of data also shocked Xu Yuan.

The effect of Soul Spirits was so obvious?

"Soul Spirits are a burden to spiritual power, but they are also a weight."

"A weight?" Xu Yuan quickly grasped the essence from Mu Ye's metaphor.

A weight!

The fusion of Soul Spirits requires spiritual power to bear it. Once the spiritual power is insufficient, the consequences are very serious. But apart from the time of fusion, in other daily periods, isn't the Soul Spirit a weight for spiritual power?

There is even a saying of weight-bearing when exercising the body. If spiritual power is weighted, the improvement effect will naturally be obvious.

"Moreover, after fusion, the Soul Spirit itself is also a part of the Soul Master's spiritual power."

For a Soul Master whose spiritual power is at full capacity, their Soul Spirit is also an extension of their spiritual power. The rate of natural increase in spiritual power must also include the Soul Spirit's portion.

These factors together have created the current situation where Soul Masters' spiritual power improves faster.

"Based on this, the major forces on the continent have developed their own spiritual power cultivation methods," Mu Ye said, starting from the essence of spiritual power methods.

Obviously, he had high expectations for Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan's most perverted talent was still in spiritual power, and he had developed the Heaven Devouring Earth Eating Technique and perfected the Qi and Blood Contract in the past year or so. So what about when he came into contact with spiritual power cultivation methods?

Could he develop his own profound spiritual power technique?

The Body Sect's spiritual power cultivation method is the Qi and Blood Furnace Method, which is performed together with meditation. It is a follow-up to the secret method of visualizing and solidifying parts of the body in the meditation space, and can only be attempted after refining the power of Qi and Blood.

After Xu Yuan obtained this secret method from Mu Ye, he left Tiandou City.

This time out, for more than ten days, the harvest can be described as huge.

Shrek Academy.

"Little Fatty, how long until the assessment?"

"Teacher Shen said it will start in three days."

"There are still three days?" Xu Yuan nodded, indicating that he was not in a hurry.

"Oh yeah, Brother Yuan, the Mech Master Association has an event, with a lot of publicity," Xu Lizhi suddenly thought of something and patted his head, saying.

"What event?" Xu Yuan asked curiously.

The presence of the Mecha Designer Association at Shrek Academy is very low because few students want to become mecha designers. The association's operating funds even come largely from providing mecha rental fees for the academy's annual mecha control-related courses.

The remaining major portion also comes from collaborating with other forces through the academy's channels, charging them fees for building mechas.

It can be said that the Mecha Designer Association earns very few contribution points from the students, and its presence is extremely low.

"It's the Mecha Development Discussion Conference. It's said to be held once every five years, where the Mecha Designer Association invites high-level mecha designers, mecha manufacturers, and mecha repairers to discuss the development of mechas and the improvement and upgrading of technology."

"What does that have to do with us?" Xu Yuan said speechlessly.

"It does. All the deputy professionals in our academy are planning to participate. The discussion is the work of the big shots. For us, participating is mainly for the exchange between deputy professionals."

"Exchange?"

"The Mecha Designer Association is the association with the widest range of deputy professions. It can contact the most mecha's three major deputy professionals, and it is also a conference that is jointly concerned by the three major professionals, so it will also attract three types of professionals to visit and exchange ideas together."

Xu Yuan understood.

Taking advantage of the gimmick of this conference, the professionals of the three major deputy professions happened to gather together to conduct technical exchanges.

Not only exchanges between professionals in the same professional system, but also cross-professional exchanges between the three major professions.

This is also a rare large-scale cross-professional exchange activity between professionals of the three complementary professions.

Xu Yuan, who is studying these three major professions at the same time, is of course interested.

"When does it start?"

"Many professionals have gathered now. The conference officially starts in about a week and will last for half a month."

"Okay, thanks." Xu Yuan said, "By the way, are you and Xinglan going to participate?"

"Sister Xinglan and I are preparing to take the assessment before participating. Teacher Shen said the assessment is quite difficult," Xu Lizhi said with a bitter face.

Chapter 54: Isn't it possible?

The assessment is difficult?

Xu Yuan didn't care.

In the original work, these two were able to persevere until the plot began, so the so-called difficulty should be a way to add pressure to them.

After all, it's only been half a year. How much progress do you want?

Sometimes stuck in a bottleneck, it is possible that there will be no progress in half a year, of course, this possibility is relatively small.

Xu Yuan is a little interested in the conference on the Mecha Designer Association's side.

"Go and take a look first. Anyway, my progress in the past six months has been transformative, so don't worry," Xu Yuan decided.

Mecha Designer Association.

The once deserted association is now exceptionally lively.

Although the event has not officially started, many professionals have already come here in advance to exchange ideas.

"Junior Brother Xu, you're here too?" Yu Yang saw Xu Yuan and greeted him enthusiastically.

Yu Yang is a disciple of the Outer Courtyard, a sixth-year student, who has no chance with the Inner Courtyard, and will graduate in another two and a half years.

The graduation standard of Shrek's Outer Courtyard is to become a One-Word Battle Armor Master, which includes breaking through the 50th level of Soul Power, because the One-Word Battle Armor Master corresponds to the 50th level Soul King.

Of course, Soul Power level is not difficult for Shrek students. Six grades are a total of eighteen years, plus twelve or thirteen years old when entering school. Basically, when graduating from sixth grade, they are all thirty years old. For Shrek Outer Courtyard students, becoming a Soul King at thirty is more than enough.

What's more, they are students who have passed each upgrade assessment.

What is really difficult is the making of One-Word Battle Armor.

This is really time-consuming and laborious.

The direction is the most important. Determining the direction of the battle armor will make the future Two-Word Battle Armor production more convenient, so the One-Word Battle Armor is often the set that Battle Armor Masters spend the longest time on.

The purchase of rare metals and the process of making battle armor all require finding someone to help, and the contribution points spent in this process are unknown.

Let's put it this way, a Yellow-level mecha customized costs hundreds of thousands of contribution points, and the value of a One-Word Battle Armor far exceeds that of a Yellow-level mecha. The failure rate is also extremely high during production, and a lot of Thousand Refined Metal will be scrapped.

Millions of contribution points are worth more than 100 million Federal Coins.

Yu Yang's battle armor production only has the last hand armor part left. He himself is a mecha manufacturer, with sufficient level, and has accumulated enough experience before, and the required Thousand Refined First Grade Metal is also ready.

It's just that in order to continue to hang out in the Outer Courtyard for the last two and a half years, he didn't make this hand armor.

Shrek, even if it is just the Outer Courtyard, is a good place. After all, this is where the most outstanding Soul Masters of the entire continent gather. In the future, almost all of them will be Battle Armor Masters. Developing contacts is very suitable. In addition, Shrek's contribution points, the more you earn, the better.

Whether you exchange it for Federal Coins after earning it, or exchange it for rare metals through the associations inside the academy, you are earning.

Although there are also different professional associations outside, the difference between associations facing the society and associations only facing the academy is quite large.

"Senior Brother Yu Yang, haven't you finished making the battle armor yet?"

The corner of Yu Yang's mouth twitched.

"Isn't it difficult to make hand armor?"

"Senior, is there anything to pay attention to in this exchange activity?" Xu Yuan was still preparing to inquire about the details from this senior.

After all, according to the time calculation, this senior may have experienced two such conferences.

"You want to participate? To be honest, your level is not enough. A second-level professional should honestly listen to people's discussions on the side and don't think about getting involved." Yu Yang rolled his eyes and spoke very viciously.

"Senior, my theory is no less than that of a third-level professional." Combining multiple professions for cultivation, Xu Yuan has a deeper understanding of their interrelationships.

"If you really want to participate, you can go over there and take a look. That's where some of the main issues are discussed. Other places are more of um... just arguing."

Yu Yang pointed in a direction.

"Thank you, Senior. I wish you an early completion of your hand armor production."

Xu Yuan said goodbye and wished the senior well.

Yu Yang rolled his eyes.

Don't, I still want to delay it.
