Douluo: I am an evil soul master, working from nine to five in the Tang Sect

Chapter 128 The Strong

Not to mention a seven-ringed Soul Saint, even for an ordinary nine-ringed Titled Douluo, it is not easy to possess a hundred thousand year soul ring.

Even if one really kills a hundred thousand year soul beast, there is a great probability that one's own spiritual power will not be able to resist the viciousness of the beast remaining in the hundred thousand year soul ring, causing one's own soul power to run away when absorbing the hundred thousand year soul ring, and thus explode and die!

Why are there so few soul masters with hundred thousand year soul rings on the continent? It is because the conditions required to absorb a hundred thousand year soul ring are too harsh.

First of all, just being able to carry the terrifying energy contained in a hundred thousand year spirit ring requires a physical fitness of at least Titled Douluo level. However, even a Titled Douluo who has broken through the ninety-level threshold may not be able to carry it smoothly.

Another reason is that the mental power required to absorb a hundred thousand year soul ring is too terrifying. If one's own foundation is still shallow and one does not have the ability to withstand the soul shock of a hundred thousand year soul beast, then it is almost impossible to absorb a hundred thousand year soul ring.

There is a fundamental difference between a ten thousand year soul ring and a hundred thousand year soul ring. One is close to a demigod to some extent and can be transformed into a divine beast after surviving the heavenly tribulation, while the other has not even fully opened its spiritual intelligence.

Take Luo Chen, who has already absorbed two ten-thousand-year spirit rings, for example. Although he was able to absorb ten-thousand-year spirit rings with the cultivation level of only four-ring spirit rings due to his Death Scythe martial soul, he was able to do so.

But this is already the limit. Before he truly reaches the level of Titled Douluo, even if Luo Chen will not be affected by the backlash of the soul beast's soul left by the soul ring, he can only absorb the soul rings that his body can bear.

If he were to forcibly absorb the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring under the current circumstances, the only thing that would await him would be death by explosion.

It is precisely for this reason that soul masters with hundred thousand year soul rings are so rare on the continent. First of all, to absorb a hundred thousand year soul ring, one must kill a hundred thousand year soul beast. And powerful soul beasts of this level are often concentrated in extremely dangerous areas.

In the history of the academy, there were many talented soul masters who had broken through the Nine-Ring Titled Douluo realm early on and wanted to kill a hundred thousand year soul beast and then break through to the Titled Douluo realm.

But without exception, they all failed, because in the Star Dou Great Forest, which is closest to Shrek Academy, deep in its core, there are several "ferocious beasts" that are beyond the level of hundred thousand year soul beasts!

According to the human classification of soul beasts' strength, every soul beast that has cultivated for more than 200,000 years and survived the heavenly tribulation will be called a "ferocious beast". This is not only because its race is the overlord of soul beasts, but also because of its own strength.

It can almost be said that every soul beast that has reached this level has reached the level of a human "Super Douluo", which is the so-called soul master above level ninety-five.

But to be honest, the strength of a soul beast overlord that has cultivated for more than 200,000 years and survived the heavenly tribulation is not just the strength of a "Super Douluo" given by humans.

It should be noted that the vast majority of soul beasts that can reach this level of cultivation are soul beast overlords whose numbers are extremely rare among soul beasts. They are extremely powerful and can hunt adult soul beasts of other races when they are young.

It is also for this reason that these soul beast overlords who have reached 200,000 years of cultivation are far more terrifying than the Titled Douluo above level 95 among humans.

Moreover, soul beasts possess not only powerful innate skills and soul abilities, but also physiques as hard as iron. In terms of physical fitness, even a human who has broken through to the Titled Douluo level cannot compete with a soul beast that has cultivated for 100,000 years.

The strength of human soul masters is completely opposite to that of soul beasts. Although in terms of physical fitness, adult humans cannot even compare with newborn soul beasts, the speed of cultivation and the upper limit that humans can reach are simply unmatched by soul beasts.

For a soul master with good talent, it only takes a hundred years to cultivate to the Nine-Ring Titled Douluo realm. And for a soul master who is known as a genius, it only takes a few decades to reach this realm.

However, for the soul beast clan, the time scale for this cultivation is extended by thousands of times!
A newly born soul beast, even if it is from the dominant species of soul beasts, needs at least thousands of years of hiding its strength before it can gradually gain a foothold and begin to show its talents. Only after it has broken through ten thousand years of cultivation can it be considered to have begun to enter adolescence.

It was not until the first golden pattern appeared on its body that it represented that it had truly entered adulthood and became a so-called hundred thousand year soul beast, which is equivalent to the realm of a human nine-ring Titled Douluo.

By comparing like this, we can find that the innate conditions of humans and soul beasts are completely different. It only takes humans decades or even hundreds of years for a peerless powerhouse to reach the pinnacle of cultivation.

As for the soul beast clan, it would take at least hundreds of thousands of years for a strong person who has reached the pinnacle of cultivation, has real say, and can unify the soul beast clan to appear!
The soul beast clan has been born on Douluo Continent for at least tens of millions of years, or even a long time measured in billions. However, it has only been a few tens of thousands of years since the birth of humans until now when they are able to suppress the soul beast clan in terms of hard power.

In just such a short period of time, before even a hundred thousand year soul beast appeared among the soul beast clan, humans jumped from the bottom of the food chain to the top race of the food chain.

Even to a certain extent, they have set their sights on the equally powerful Soul Beast Overlord!
Although Luo Chen was not sure how many people in Shrek Academy possessed the hundred thousand year soul rings that represented the top soul beasts, but in the tens of thousands of years since Shrek Academy was founded, at least a dozen hundred thousand year soul beasts had been killed.

This was not Luo Chen's random talk, but was calculated based on the documents of Shrek Academy and the life records of the deans and even the elders and masters of the Sea God Pavilion. There were quite a few powerful soul masters who had reached the highest level of soul masters and possessed hundred thousand year soul rings and hundred thousand year soul bones.

Therefore, Luo Chen gradually understood why most of the powerful soul beasts nowadays were curled up in the Star Dou Great Forest and did not come out. It was because they were afraid of being killed. They were afraid that at some point, they would just take a nap and turn into a soul ring on a human soul master.

The reason why Shrek Academy ordered that students were not allowed to enter the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest alone to hunt soul beasts was precisely because of this reason. Under such a sensitive situation, it was almost impossible for a hundred thousand year soul beasts to appear outside the Star Dou Great Forest, so they could only be concentrated in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest that was hundreds of thousands of kilometers in size.

If a weak soul master forcibly enters the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest and wants to hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings, it will definitely be a very dangerous thing. It is also quite normal for him to become a meal for a powerful soul beast.

However, there are many similarities between soul beasts and humans. Soul beasts and humans reproduce equally quickly. In just a few thousand years, they can greatly increase the size of their population.

Moreover, the number of strong people is almost the same. Although there are so many Titled Douluo among humans now, this is also because human strong people have passed down the martial spirits, spirit bones, technologies, and corresponding cultivation methods from generation to generation, which makes the number of strong people among humans so stable.

After tens of thousands of years of development on the continent, the total population of the human race has reached tens of millions. However, among such a large population base, only one-tenth of them can become soul masters.

Among the entire human race, there are only a few dozen soul masters who can become Nine-ring Titled Douluo level soul masters, which is almost the same as the situation of the current soul beast clan.

There are naturally only a few strong people who can stand at the top of the continent and possess absolute strength, whether they are humans or soul beasts.

But even so, the human race is still in an absolutely suppressed position. The powerful soul masters among the human race may die within a few hundred years, but during these hundreds of years, countless soul master geniuses with powerful talents will still be born.

After the death of the previous generation of soul masters, a new generation of soul master geniuses will still rise, and some may even have the strength to surpass the previous generation and stand at the top of the continent!

For human beings, knowledge is strength. As long as the inheritance continues, the developed technologies and all cultivation methods can be optimized, upgraded and even create new knowledge through the accumulation of time!

This is what human beings do. They evolve through repeated growth, gain a firm foothold step by step, and become the absolute overlord of the continent's food chain!

Right now, it is precisely for this reason that Luo Chen has achieved such a huge improvement in strength in such a short period of time. As the saying goes, those who plant trees will enjoy the shade, and with the accumulation of generations of strong people in Shrek Academy, it is not difficult for him to grow through the accumulation of his predecessors.

Now, after only a few days or so, Luo Chen felt that his strength had increased again, far surpassing before, and he had a sense of transformation.

However, Luo Chen also knew that this was just an illusion caused by the fact that his own cultivation had increased by several levels at once. Once he completely stabilized his current weak soul power, this feeling of sudden increase in strength would completely disappear.

To be honest, Luo Chen's true strength is only comparable to those senior teachers in the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy. It is still too early for him to defeat the strong ones in the inner courtyard.

The inner court coaches who teach the inner court students are almost all soul masters with cultivation levels above seven-ring soul saints. Their strength far exceeds that of soul masters at the same level. They are all powerful people who have had extraordinary experiences on the mainland.

Otherwise, with ordinary qualifications and mediocre strength, it is impossible for him to be qualified to teach the inner courtyard students. The students who can enter the inner courtyard to study are all geniuses whose talents far exceed those of their peers.

If the teachers who teach these inner courtyard students have mediocre talents and are even weaker than these inner courtyard students, then it will be impossible to convince the public.

Just like Luo Chen who had just arrived, due to his age, even though the inner court students knew that it was Xuanzi who allowed him to enter Poseidon Island to study, these geniuses did not take Luo Chen seriously at all.

After all, in their eyes, talented soul masters like Yao Haoxuan are extremely rare. It might take hundreds of years for one to appear, let alone two of them appearing one after another in such a short period of time.

However, after Luo Chen proved his talent to them with his actual actions, the inner court students who had not taken him seriously before began to avoid him like a tiger or a wild beast, and were unwilling to associate with him anymore...

This is also the reason why Luo Chen has few friends on the Sea God Island with whom he can talk and exchange cultivation experiences. After realizing this, Luo Chen also understood why Menghu acted alone.

After all, a tiger is still a tiger. Even if it has retracted its sharp fangs and claws, it may still accidentally injure the opponent's thin body because of its terrifying strength.

This is Luo Chen's current situation. Among all the students in the inner courtyard, except for Zhang Lexuan, a monster whose strength is comparable to that of a Titled Douluo, there are almost no talented students who can compete with him.

Before, when he was only a three-ring Soul Master, Yao Haoxuan, who was of similar age, could still practice with him. But when he broke through to the four-ring Soul Master level and his strength had a qualitative leap, Yao Haoxuan no longer practiced with him. Even when Luo Chen proposed to reduce his own cultivation to the Soul Master level, Yao Haoxuan was unwilling to do so.

With Yao Haoxuan's unique auxiliary beast martial soul, he was originally only at the Soul King level, but he could even rely on his strange strength to force himself to fight against an ordinary six-ring Soul Emperor for a period of time. This was also the reason why he was able to be on par with Luo Chen in physical competition before.

But now, even if Luo Chen does not release his soul skills and soul power, just relying on his physical fitness that has surpassed several realms, he is already able to fight on equal terms with a six-ring Soul Emperor like Dai Yueheng.

And after using his soul power and soul skills, he was able to easily defeat Dai Yuheng in a short period of time!
