Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 310 First Test: Passing the Soul Core Condensation
Cultivation knows no time, and before anyone knew it, two years had passed in the blink of an eye.

In the first year, everyone had to exert all their strength to stabilize their minds when resisting the demonic flames. Their mental strength increased significantly, but their soul power progressed slowly. However, as time went on, starting in the second year, one by one, the companions completely overcame their negative emotions.

The demonic flames posed no threat to them. In fact, thanks to the protection of the light of the fire god and the light of the water god, the demonic flames, which posed no threat to their lives, became an excellent aid in their physical training.

Yuwen Tuo's fire element power has now truly reached its peak, and it also includes many characteristics such as the corrosiveness of evil fire, the chill of cold fire, the holiness of heavenly yang, the wildness of beast fire, and the inextinguishability of hellfire.

Even among super martial souls, it is the most supreme level.

Although the other people's martial souls could not advance like his, their soul power improvement speed all began to increase.

The first to complete the assessment was naturally Lian Yue, who only had one Yellow-level test. She passed the assessment in ten days and her level was raised to level 40 by the Fire God. However, the Yellow-level assessment did not grant her a divine soul ring, so she had to go out hunting and return after succeeding.

Although her assessment was over, she could still train with everyone. Moreover, because she had received part of the Ghost Valley Heart Method, her soul power progressed faster. Two years later, she had reached level 48. With nearly a year left before the next Soul Master Competition, reaching the Soul King level was no problem.

The progress of the others was, of course, even more obvious.

Today is the day everyone passes the first test. Except for Yuwen Tuo and Ling Luochen, everyone's level has been directly promoted by one level.

Both Yuwen Tuo and Ling Luochen are undergoing divine trials. Before they are fully completed, there are no soul power rewards, only divine affinity.

Miao Xin, being a Title Douluo, only received a 30% increase in soul power instead of a direct level increase, which was already quite good. The 30% increase in soul power after becoming a Title Douluo is actually much greater than the direct level increase for others.

After the upgrade, everyone's current cultivation level
Jiang Peng, a level 77 Battle Soul Saint.

Miao Xin, at the peak of level 94, is just one step away from entering the Super Douluo stage.

Nana, a level 63 Battle Soul Emperor, obtained a divinely bestowed soul ring when she broke through to the sixth ring and upgraded it to the 40,000-year level.

Cao Jinxuan, a level 57 Battle Soul King, did not use it directly. Instead, he went out hunting, planning to use the divinely bestowed soul ring when he was stronger, so as to maximize its power.

Vina, a level 63 Battle Soul Emperor, received a divinely bestowed soul ring when she broke through to the sixth ring and upgraded it to the 40,000-year level. Although her current level is not much different from that in the original work, she only reached this level after adding six 10,000-year soul rings to her Brain Martial Soul. At this moment, her second Martial Soul's soul ring slots are all empty. If she starts adding them later, with the help of the power of the soul rings, reaching the Soul Saint level before the competition will not be difficult at all.

Xiao Xiao, a level 64 control and support type battle soul emperor, has been catching up with Vina all the way thanks to the various cheats Yuwen Tuo gave her. Now she has surpassed Vina. Her sixth soul ring is a divinely bestowed soul ring, which she has forced to reach the 70,000-year level. Her sixth ring is at the same level as Jiang Peng's seventh ring. After all, in addition to the two 10,000-year soul bones like Jiang Peng, she has two 100,000-year soul bones and an external soul bone. In addition, with high-level cultivation techniques, her physique is no weaker than Jiang Peng's.

Ling Luochen, a level 69 control-type battle spirit emperor, has not yet obtained a divinely bestowed spirit ring because he has not reached the bottleneck. His affinity with the water god is 5%.

Long Aotian, a level 72 Battle Soul Saint, obtained a divinely bestowed soul ring at level 70 and upgraded it to the 90,000-year level. He was just a little short of reaching 100,000 years, which made Long Aotian regretful for a long time.

Yuwen Qiu, a level 73 Battle Soul Saint, obtained a divinely bestowed soul ring and, with the help of Yuwen Tuo's 100% fusion of soul power, also reached the 100,000-year level.

Furthermore, all spirit ring rewards have been increased by 500 years, and the first six spirit rings have become four purple and two black.

Yuwen Tuo, a level 74 Battle Soul Saint, obtained a divinely bestowed soul ring at level 70, easily increasing his age to 100,000 years, or even close to 200,000 years, with a Fire God affinity of 5%.

Yuwentuo's Fire Elephant Power Soul Rings are now five black and two red.

For an ordinary Title Douluo like Cheng Gang, Yuwen Tuo could easily defeat him.

Moreover, at this very moment, surrounded by everyone, he was doing something else entirely: condensing a soul core—something that only a Title Douluo would dare to do under normal circumstances.

"Should we say Junior Brother Yuwen is confident, or is he just too crazy to dare to condense a soul core at this time?" Vina and the others said with concern. "The Xiao Tuo I know has never been an overly arrogant person. He must have his own reasons for doing this," Ling Luochen said.

"I believe in Tuotuo!" Although Xiao Xiao was nervous, she would always support her beloved.

"Tuo will be alright!" Qiu'er crossed her arms, even calmer than Xiao Xiao. Of all those present, the one who knew Yuwen Tuo's strength best was undoubtedly her, whose martial soul was perfectly fused with his.

Amidst the demonic flames, Yuwen Tuo was enveloped in flames, with the Xuanyuan Sword Soul floating in front of him, radiating golden light.

Yuwen Tuo's soul power is now in a liquid state, flowing continuously within his body, condensing a soul core, and most importantly, he has gained control over his own soul power.

Spirit-type Soul Masters have a slight advantage in this regard.

It just so happens that Yuwentuo's second martial soul is the Soul, coupled with the mystery of the Divine Fire Clone, he has absolute confidence in completing his first soul core.

Yuwen Tuo's eyes had now transformed into brownish-blue yin-yang demonic pupils. He slowly raised his right hand, and fiery red soul power flowed out. Not a single drop of soul power leaked out.

As he poured in more and more soul power, the liquid soul power floated up, slowly rotating and merging in the air.

Under Yuwentuo's precise control, the rotation speed of the soul power increased faster and faster, and it also began to compress slowly. As the compression process progressed, Yuwentuo continued to inject it little by little to enhance it further.

As the liquid soul power continued to blend, it began to form a sphere.

"There's a chance! Soul power is starting to solidify!" Miao Xin exclaimed in surprise. When she broke through to the Title Douluo level, she gradually transformed her liquid soul power into a solid state in this way. It's hard to imagine that Yuwen Tuo, a mere Soul Saint, could accomplish something that even a Title Douluo would find difficult to achieve.

Gradually, the solidified soul power took full shape and suddenly began to frantically absorb the surrounding天地元力 (heaven and earth elemental power). This is one of the wonderful uses of the soul core.

Titled Douluo can all cultivate using Soul Cores.

Yuwen Tuo did not stop there; he continued to inject soul power to expand the soul core, which was not yet fully formed.

As stated in the original novel, each Title Douluo condenses a different soul core, some large and some small, and the effects of large soul cores in both combat and cultivation far surpass those of small soul cores.

The size of the soul core that can be condensed depends on the extent to which a Title Douluo can control their soul power.

Yuwen Tuo's control far surpasses that of Huo Yuhao in the original work. Unlike Huo Yuhao, he does not need his soul power to be absorbed layer by layer by the solid soul power of the soul core.

Instead, they actively and fully invested their energy to expand the soul core.

As he poured over nine-tenths of his soul power into his body, the area around him suddenly shattered like a mirror, but was quickly repaired. This was the power of space, which Yuwentuo could now finally control freely.

After a long time, as all the demonic flames surged toward Yuwen Tuo, a fiery red soul core floated quietly in front of him amidst the endless sea of ​​fire!

"It's done!" The Flame Lord was both overjoyed and surprised.

The new successor, Lord Vulcan, is far stronger than the previous one; he actually managed to condense a soul core as a Soul Saint.

This should be the flame soul core of his fire-attribute martial soul.
