Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon, I am the Lord of Soul Beasts

Chapter 72: Mental Power Optimization, the Origin of Wuhun

After a moment's silence, Alex said, "Yuhao, don't be so anxious. Although the existence of me and the big bug has been discovered, it's not entirely a bad thing. At least I don't feel that person has any murderous intentions towards you. You have to remember that challenges and dangers are inevitable on the road to becoming a strong person. And every crisis is an opportunity for you to grow."

Huo Yuhao was still a little uneasy: "But teacher, that person already has divinity. If he is unfavorable to us, I am afraid we will be unable to resist."

Alex's smile deepened, and his voice was filled with confidence and calmness: "Yuhao, having divinity does not mean you are invincible. The road to becoming a god is full of unknowns and variables. Even divinity has its limitations. What's more, a truly strong person will never fear any challenge. You must believe in yourself, and also believe in the power we have."

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil: "Teacher, I understand. No matter what kind of opponent I face, I will not back down."

Alex nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, this is the disciple I expect. As for returning to Shrek Academy, I don't think it's the right time yet. Didn't that person say he would take you to practice? I think this is a good idea. At least I can gain a lot of benefits by following him."

A hint of determination flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes: "Then, Teacher, what should we do next?"

Alex pondered for a moment, looking into the distance: "First, we need to find the person with divinity and understand his true intentions. Secondly, we must continue to improve our own strength and constantly break through ourselves. Only in this way can we be invincible in future battles."

Huo Yuhao nodded: "I understand, Teacher. No matter what the future holds, I will do my best."

On the other side, Jing Hongchen was originally looking at his own drawings in the office, but after receiving a report from his subordinates and knowing that Ying Qian was back, Jing Hongchen immediately dropped all the work in his hands and quickly rushed towards the Wuhun Department.

When Jing Hongchen felt the martial soul system, he happened to meet Ying Qian.

Ying Qian was not surprised to see Jing Hongchen coming. Even if Jing Hongchen didn't come to find him, he would still go find him!

Ying Qian looked at Jing Hongchen and smiled faintly: "Master Hongchen, long time no see!"

Jing Hongchen's usually stern face showed a complicated expression the moment he saw Ying Qian. Why did he feel that Ying Qian seemed to have become even more powerful? If he remembered correctly, Ying Qian was already a peerless Douluo at level 99. Could it be that Senior Ying had broken through level 100? Jing Hongchen had a question mark in his mind for a while, but soon regained his composure. His steps were steady and powerful, and there was an indescribable light in his eyes. He took a deep breath and walked slowly towards Ying Qian.

"Senior Ying, it is indeed you." Jing Hongchen's voice was low, with a barely perceptible tremor.

Ying Qian's smile did not diminish, his eyes were as sharp as torches, as if he could see through everything: "Yes, Master Hongchen, it's been a long time. I wonder if you are still continuing your research during this period?"

Jing Hongchen frowned slightly, but soon relaxed: "Senior Ying, the people in Mingde Hall are continuing the research that Senior Ying instructed day and night. At present, initial results have been achieved, but there are still some problems."

Ying Qian narrowed his eyes, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "Problem? Master Hongchen, after so many years, don't you know me yet? I never ask about the process, I only care about the result. Your Mingde Hall is known as the number one soul guide cradle in the entire continent for so many years. It's a bit too much time to waste!"

Jing Hongchen's forehead was covered with sweat. "Senior Ying, we are indeed researching day and night. However, the research on artificial spirit rings is indeed a bit too advanced. For tens of thousands of years, spirit masters have obtained spirit rings from spirit beasts. Therefore, we need to take into account the physical strength of the spirit master, the spirit master's own mental strength, and even the quality of each spirit master's martial spirit. Therefore, we have been researching until now."

Ying Qian chuckled, his eyes softened a little: "Master Hongchen, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still so cautious. However, when it comes to soul guides, I am indeed a layman. But now that I am back this time, I believe I should be able to help you solve some of the problems with artificial soul rings."

Jing Hongchen looked at Ying Qian, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes: "Senior Ying, are you really okay with the question about the soul guide?"

Ying Qian nodded gently: "Of course, I understand. I have always respected the rules of Mingde Hall. But now that I have said this, can you still not believe me?"

Jing Hongchen's eyes narrowed: "In that case, Senior Ying. If you need anything, we at Mingde Hall will fully support you."

Ying Qian took a deep look at Jing Hongchen, then turned and left: "Let's go! Master Hongchen, take me to Mingde Hall!"

Jing Hongchen followed behind Ying Qian obediently, his heart was full of ups and downs. He knew that Senior Ying always kept his word, and since he mentioned the issue of artificial spirit rings so confidently, there must be a reason for it. Ying Qian, who was walking in front, was still standing tall, as if carrying endless strength and confidence, which made Jing Hongchen look forward to his abilities even more.

In Mingde Hall, the luster of machinery and metal is reflected on the wall, and the intricate soul guides are neatly arranged, showing the latest scientific and technological achievements. Ying Qian slowly stepped into the hall, looking around, with a flash of admiration in his eyes: "Master Hongchen, the development of your Mingde Hall is indeed worthy of its reputation, with excellent equipment and in-depth research."

Jing Hongchen smiled slightly, with a hint of pride on his face: "Thank you for the compliment, senior. This is the result of the joint efforts of all members of Mingde Hall."

Ying Qian nodded and walked forward steadily: "Well, now let me see the progress of your research on artificial spirit rings."

Jing Hongchen nodded and quickly instructed his assistants to sort out all the relevant data and experimental records. The assistants moved quickly, and soon, a thick pile of information was piled up in front of Ying Qian. Ying Qian sat in front of a simple experimental table, carefully flipping through each page of data, his eyes as sharp as a knife, sometimes showing a thoughtful expression, and sometimes nodding gently. "For this experiment, has your research on mental power reached this stage?" Ying Qian asked, pointing to a set of data.

Jing Hongchen nodded: "Yes, senior. This is our latest experimental result, but we found that when trying to combine the artificial spirit ring with the spirit master's spiritual power, the spirit master's spiritual power seems unable to fully control the energy of the artificial spirit ring, resulting in frequent instability."

Ying Qian frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "The problem lies in the way the spiritual power is transmitted. Your experiment ignored the energy feedback mechanism in some links. Try to optimize the transmission path of the spiritual power and strengthen the spiritual power training of the soul master. Perhaps there will be unexpected results."

Jing Hongchen's eyes flashed with joy: "Senior, do you mean that we need to adjust the conduction path of mental power and redesign the experimental process?"

Ying Qian nodded: "Yes, in addition, the physical strength of the soul master is also a key factor. Have you ever considered using specific training methods to improve the physical fitness of the soul master so that he can better adapt to the energy of the artificial soul ring?"

Jing Hongchen nodded thoughtfully: "Senior, we really haven't thought deeply about this idea. Can you tell me specifically how to conduct training in this area?"

Ying Qian smiled: "Of course. First, we need to develop a systematic physical training plan, including physical training and mental training. The two must complement each other. Secondly, we can use some special soul guides to assist in training and enhance the soul master's physical endurance and mental stability."

Jing Hongchen immediately called the researchers together and wrote down Ying Qian's suggestions in detail. Ying Qian continued to look through the data, communicating with the researchers from time to time, and proposing more optimization plans and adjustment suggestions. The atmosphere in the entire laboratory became tense and hopeful, as if an impending breakthrough was just around the corner.

A few hours later, Ying Qian closed the last piece of information and breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I basically understand your situation. Next, we can try to conduct new experiments according to the ideas I proposed."

The researchers immediately took action, adjusting the experimental equipment and redesigning the experimental process. Ying Qian personally participated in it, directing every detail to ensure that all links could proceed smoothly. Jing Hongchen watched all this silently from the side, his heart was full of ups and downs. He felt an unprecedented hope, as if the fog in front of him was gradually dispersing and dawn was about to come.

In the laboratory, the sound of the instruments running rang out, and the data kept jumping on the screen. Ying Qian watched intently, sometimes instructing his assistants to adjust the parameters, and sometimes operating the equipment himself. His concentration and decisiveness made all the researchers admire him.

Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, in an experiment, the data on the screen showed an unprecedented stable state. Ying Qian showed a smile on his face, and Jing Hongchen clenched his fists excitedly: "Success, Senior Ying, we succeeded!"

Ying Qian nodded, his eyes sparkling with satisfaction: "This is just the first step, Master Hongchen. Next, we need to conduct more tests and optimizations to ensure that this achievement can be truly applied to soul masters. But I believe that with your efforts, all of this will not be too far away."

Jing Hongchen took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Senior Ying, thank you for your guidance. Mingde Hall will fully cooperate with you to continue to advance this research and achieve our goal as soon as possible."

Ying Qian smiled and patted Jing Hongchen on the shoulder: "Let's work together, Master Hongchen. Our goal is not only to break through technology, but also to bring new hope to the entire soul master world."

In fact, his new understanding of artificial spirit rings was due to the trip to the dragon bones. Since returning from the Dragon Valley, Ying Qian knew all the memories of the previous generation of Dragon God. Ying Qian also knew all the origins of the martial spirits of Douluo Continent.

At the beginning of the universe, the dragon race was born in the universe and became a powerful existence that could transcend time and space. The Dragon God became the first and most powerful God King in the universe by constantly evolving his blood and strength, and he also personally created the Dragon Realm, allowing the dragon race to have their own home and the power to control the galaxy. He gave the nine attributes of his bloodline to the most outstanding dragon geniuses, and thus the legendary nine dragon kings were born. The Dragon God led the nine dragon kings to work hard and finally, the Dragon God became the Supreme God King, and the Dragon Realm mastered the power of faith of more than ten galaxies.

The Dragon God, who became the Supreme God King, decided to hold the God Star Ceremony to upgrade the Dragon Realm to get rid of the control of the laws of the universe. However, the Dragon King of Time and the Dragon King of Space interfered, which eventually led to the death of the Dragon Prince. The Dragon God's energy exploded due to grief, but was strongly backfired and killed everyone. In order to prevent the destruction of the God Realm, the God of Evil, the God of Kindness and other God Kings decided to kill the crazy Dragon God, and the remaining dragons mistakenly believed that all the experiences of the dragons were caused by non-dragon gods. Thus, the war between the dragons and non-dragon gods began. In the war, countless non-dragon gods were killed and injured, the dragons were completely wiped out, and the Dragon Realm began to collapse.

When the Dragon Realm was in danger, the Dragon God finally woke up and chose to sacrifice himself to stop the loss in time. The Dragon God begged the Asura God to use the Asura Blood Sword to split him in half. One half was the Silver Dragon King, which symbolized kindness and inherited the Dragon God's control of elements, leaving a glimmer of hope for the dragon clan; the other half was the Golden Dragon King, which symbolized evil and inherited the Dragon God's power and suppressed him in the God Realm. Then, the Dragon God fell and turned into two rays of light, one gold and one silver, rising into the sky, and then turned into a nine-colored meteor, flying to Douluo Star along with the silver light symbolizing the Silver Dragon King.

After the death of the Dragon God and the Dragon Clan, their bloodline aura spread to Douluo Star, which affected the creatures on Douluo Star and gradually evolved into soul beasts and humans with martial spirits. On Douluo Star, the martial spirits in humans awaken when they are six years old. Generally, martial spirits can be divided into two categories: beast martial spirits and weapon martial spirits. There are many forms of martial spirits, and those who awaken their soul power can also use their martial spirits for training and fighting.

In fact, both soul beasts and martial spirits are derived from the original power of the dragon race. However, soul beasts and humans inherit different forms of energy, so human martial spirits can only continuously improve their strength by absorbing soul rings from soul beasts.

Now that Ying Qian knows the most fundamental connection between martial souls and spirit rings, he naturally knows how to improve and create artificial spirit rings, but it can only be better displayed through the technology of soul guides.

Speaking of mental power, Ying Qian suddenly thought of a suitable candidate.

Huo Yuhao. To be more precise, it was another traverser who was now living in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, the Undead Scourge, Alex. His ability could be of great help in the creation of artificial spirit rings.

"It seems that I really need to take good care of this future god of emotions." Ying Qian murmured to himself.
