White Ring of Douluo

That's what Le Bai discovered when he was killing the wolf thief and Gale Demon Wolf.

"The 9999th."

Le Bai wiped away the wolf blood splashed on his face tiredly, wrote down the quantity, and crushed the wolf corpse before it turned bad and smelly, dried it, and raised it.

"Compared to other soul beasts, the number of Gale Demonic Wolves is really overwhelming."

I don't know how many times I thought this way, Le Bai's eyes, which had nowhere to rest, began to be attracted by the shining soul rings around him.

"Watching so many soul rings dissipate, feels really extravagant."

While thinking, Le Bai accelerated the crushing speed of the wolf corpse.

When it was just crushed, the soul ring was still there, and as Le Bai gathered the broken pieces, the soul ring began to dissipate at the same time.

This is not the first time Le Bai has seen this kind of situation, but he didn't pay attention or think too much in the past. At this moment, he suddenly remembered what Yu Xiaogang once said, the soul ring will disappear naturally in time, and then a question arises: Why did the spirit ring dissipate before it was time to dissipate?

After a while, the question became - why does the soul ring appear after the soul beast dies?

It is known that soul beasts can help soul masters obtain soul rings, and absorbing soul rings can gain soul power, but only soul power will not form a soul ring.

According to Oscar, during the process of absorbing the spirit ring, one can indeed feel that something other than the spirit power is being absorbed by the body.

"It is certain that there are other energies or substances that interact with the soul power to form the soul ring."

Le Bai was sure of this. But exactly what it is is still unknown.

Just thinking about it, Le Bai touched the soul ring with the back of his hand and sent it flying.

"!"

Le Bai stared at the place where his hand just touched the soul ring, released his own soul ring, waved his hand, and cut back and forth on the soul ring: "I can't touch it!"

Soul rings that have been absorbed have no entity, and soul rings that have not been absorbed can be knocked into the air... The correct answer seems to be more material rather than energy.

"But after the spirit ring dissipates, nothing will be left behind, so the substance that makes up the spirit ring together with the spirit power should be an existence like air that cannot be observed by the naked eye, and is also something people are accustomed to."

Being able to touch the spirit ring is probably based on the same reason - the air has resistance, and if the substance that makes up the spirit ring is rich enough to be able to be touched, it is not unacceptable.

"Wait, if substances are needed to form a spirit ring, where do the substances in my spirit ring come from? Even if it is only a ten-year spirit ring, the substances needed are very little, and it is impossible to create something out of nothing."

The panel will not take the initiative, which can rule out the possibility that the panel helps the body obtain that substance.

"The most likely thing is that I have a substance that can form a soul ring with soul power. Or, the substance in the surrounding atmosphere is enough to condense into the most basic ten-year soul ring."

"But like this, why can't other soul masters gather soul rings like me?"

Think about the line being called temporarily.

"Either the efficiency is too low, or the material and soul power need to meet certain conditions. For example, 'proportion', or...a specific 'physiological environment'?"

"After the death of the soul beast, the soul ring will appear, because the substance in the body is mixed with the soul power to radiate? Then why doesn't it dissipate immediately? It is because the soul ring is formed, so it has a relatively stable state? From being able to actually touch it , and will not disperse immediately, the stability should be good."

"But if it's stable, it shouldn't suddenly dissipate after a period of time. Also, when I disposed of the corpse, the spirit ring also dissipated ahead of time. Is there something in common between the two...physiological activity?"

In order to verify the conjecture, Le Bai quickly found a group of Gale Demonic Wolves, and killed them all.

The wolf carcasses were then divided into three groups:

One group does nothing and waits for the spirit ring to disappear naturally;

The second group prolongs the physiological activity of corpse cells through soul power stimulation;

The three groups used soul power to destroy the corpse cells, accelerating the disappearance of physiological activity.

As a result, one group of spirit rings dissipated within a standard time, the second group dissipated later, and the third group dissipated earlier, and the gap between the three groups was very obvious.

But to be as precise as possible,

Le Bai then repeated the same experiment 30 times.

The conclusion is consistent with what he thought before.

Then Le Bai did another experiment.

Through his own perception, he recorded the weight of the living Gale Demon Wolf. After the killing, the corpse was quickly smashed to make the spirit ring dissipate, and no wolf hair was lost during the process. Then feel the weight again and compare it with when you were alive.

After repeating this experiment a hundred times, Le Bai is convinced that there is a substance in the soul beast that can combine with soul power to form a soul ring. The higher the year of cultivation, the more that substance in the body.

For the convenience of calling, Le Bai simply named this substance "soul substance".

"But even the 30,000-year-level Gale Wind Demon Wolf, (estimated). Those of the millennium, or even the hundred-year and ten-year level, may not even reach 1 milligram... No, the ten-year spirit ring may not even reach 1 microgram. "

Le Bai tried to "see" the soul quality with his own perception. But unfortunately, his perception at this time is still not enough to perceive the existence of soul essence, even if it is a soul ring with a large number of soul essence.

"However, there are new problems in this way."

Le Bai looked at Gale Wind Demon Wolf and Wolf Thief with eyes full of exploration and thirst for knowledge: "What is the organizational structure in the soul beast that can absorb and concentrate soul matter from the surroundings?"

The first thing Le Bai thought of was that there were special organs in soul beasts that humans did not have.

Like the "magic core" described in the entertainment works of another world, it is an organ that only exists in the body of a soul beast.

It's a pity that after a hundred Gale Wind Demon Wolves "voluntarily" donated their insignificant remains, Le Bai didn't find that organ.

During this period, Le Bai had considered that the organ was extremely small, like the mitochondria in human somatic cells.

However, after Le Bai "dissected" the Gale Wind Demon Wolf at the cellular level through his own soul power and perception, he did not find that structure.

After that, the research stagnated for a while, which made Le Bai feel irritable, so that it was easier to kill the wolf thief and Gale Demon Wolf.

The inspiration came again when Le Bai looked through the entertainment information recorded in his mind through [Memories] again—in a certain world called "Xingyue", there was a magician. The fundamental difference between those magicians and ordinary people is that there is a special organ called "magic circuit" in the magician's body.

It is impossible to confirm the existence of the magic circuit simply by relying on medical anatomy and observation.

But the magician can confirm the existence of the magic circuit, and even transplant the magic circuit through the corresponding technology.

It is certain that Le Bai does not have the means to directly observe the organs related to the soul quality in the soul beast.

Therefore, Le Bai chose to find out in an indirect way—since he couldn't find the target, he found out everything he could find. The remaining ones that have not been found are likely to be the target.

In this way, after more than a month of hard work, Le Bai finally confirmed that there is indeed a "special organ" in the soul beast that humans do not have. It is the existence of this organ that gives soul beasts the ability to enrich soul quality.

"...ok, the paper draft is complete!"

Le Bai carefully kept the manuscript paper, turned around to face the pile of wolf carcasses behind him, clasped his palms together: "Although you didn't do it voluntarily, I still want to thank you for your sacrifices for the progress of mankind."

"In order to keep you from being too lonely, I will send the remaining wolf robbers and Gale Demon wolves on this continent to reunite with you as soon as possible."
