Douluo's main body is respected

Chapter 209 Power Soul Core
At this moment, Yang Xiong was a little dazed. Not only had he consumed a lot of mental energy, but his entire body seemed to have reached its limit, just like when he absorbed the three Thousand-Pound Ant King Soul Rings. It was as if all the power in his body had been drained.

But Yang Xiong was very clear that this was the most crucial moment. Right now, the soul core was only being controlled by his mental power. For it to truly take shape, Yang Xiong's martial soul and soul core needed to pull each other together. Eventually, the martial soul body and soul core would gradually reach a balance, allowing the soul core to operate autonomously.

Everyone around was very worried when they saw Yang Xiong's appearance, because Yang Xiong had exhausted all his strength and blood in order to condense this soul core, and he looked extremely fragile.

At this critical moment, the Blue Silver King's head bone continuously emitted azure energy, as if it were inexhaustible, maintaining Yang Xiong's mental stability.

Yang Xiong felt as if his body was resonating, or rather, his martial spirit was resonating.

At this moment, Yang Xiong used his last bit of clarity to gradually guide the soul core to operate autonomously and in a regulated manner.

Seeing that the blood-red soul core in front of him was completely stable and could spin rapidly without Yang Xiong needing to use his mental power to control it, Yang Xiong knew that he had finally successfully condensed his soul core.

But there is one last step, which is also the most crucial one.

Under the pull of the body, the soul core seemed to gradually approach the body, and eventually it actually passed through the skin and muscles and entered the lower dantian.

When the soul core entered the dantian, the entire martial soul seemed to resonate in some way, as if some core had returned to its place. The soul core began to operate independently at that moment and quickly absorbed soul power from the air to replenish its body as soon as possible.

Although Yang Xiong had exhausted all his mental and spiritual power and had no strength left in his body, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Yang Xiong's soul power has always been insufficient when fighting against true titled masters. However, if he possesses a soul core, his soul power will become deeper and more inexhaustible, giving him the strength to truly fight a titled Douluo in a prolonged battle.

Everyone around breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Yang Xiong's condition; it was clear that Yang Xiong had truly succeeded in condensing his soul core this time.

Dugu Bo, who was standing to the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief: "What a little monster. I condensed the poison pill when I was absorbing my ninth soul ring. I didn't expect that you, a mere Soul Saint, could do it. It seems that I underestimated you a bit."

Seeing that Yang Xiong's soul core had been successfully condensed, Ning Fengzhi quickly summoned the Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. Countless rays of light rapidly merged into Yang Xiong's body, and his physical strength and soul power began to recover rapidly.

As Yang Xiong gradually calmed down, a blood-red soul core appeared in his lower dantian. This soul core seemed to have completely merged with his martial soul, just like a part of his body, and could be used at any time.

In particular, the soul core contains extremely terrifying energy, as if it is full of power.

This is Yang Xiong integrating all his ultimate power into the soul core, forming the first soul core.

When the soul core is in operation, it can not only quickly absorb energy from the air to replenish its own soul power, but also significantly increase its cultivation speed.

Especially when one is not consciously meditating, the soul core unconsciously absorbs energy from the air within the body. In other words, the soul core can greatly increase cultivation time and training speed during meditation, which can be said to be a win-win situation.

Everyone present was amazed when they saw Yang Xiong successfully condense his soul core. It seemed as if they had discovered a completely new path of cultivation.

Especially for these Title Douluos present, their cultivation speed has slowed down considerably since they reached the Title Douluo level. The soul core that Yang Xiong has condensed might be able to show them the way forward.

In contrast, Ning Fengzhi seemed more serious. He was clearly more aware of the significance of soul cores to the soul master world and their influence on major sects and forces.

Especially for some level 89 Soul Douluos, due to their talent and other reasons, they are stuck in an insurmountable chasm for their entire lives, unable to improve any further. If they could break through the final limitation by condensing a Soul Core and enter the Title Douluo realm, wouldn't that allow them to elevate even more experts?

Of course, if all Title Douluos can condense a Soul Core, they may even be able to crush top experts by a huge margin in the future.

"Xiao Xiong, do you think there's anything different about this poison pill after it's been condensed?"

Yang Xiong thought carefully before speaking: "Sect Master, I will name this poison pill the Soul Core, which is the core of our soul power and even our martial soul."

"After acquiring this soul core, I feel that my soul power has become more profound, and I can fight for a longer period of time."

"Of course, the most important thing is that after condensing this soul core, the cultivation speed seems to have increased by a full 20%. Especially when there is no need for combat or other scenarios, the soul core can also operate on its own, which means that it can cultivate at any time. This is one of the most important features of the soul core."

Upon hearing Yang Xiong's words, everyone's eyes lit up. Wasn't this soul core specially made for the slow improvement of Title Douluo?
Ning Fengzhi immediately spoke up: "Xiao Xiong, is there any risk in cultivating a soul core? I saw that you seemed to have exhausted your soul power just now. I'm afraid that others can't condense a soul core as easily as you."

Yang Xiong nodded: "That's right. To condense a soul core, both physical and mental strength are required to be extremely high. According to my estimate, one must at least reach the level of a Title Douluo to condense a soul core. Only the mental strength of a Title Douluo can support the entire process of soul core condensation."

"Of course, Sect Master, you should also know that I possess a top-grade head soul bone, and my spiritual power has long reached the level of a Title Douluo. But even so, during the final process of condensing the soul core, I felt that both my soul power and spiritual power were somewhat insufficient. Therefore, if you want to condense a soul core, it is best to be a Title Douluo."

"Of course, for some top-tier Soul Douluos, if they are unable to break through to the Title Douluo level due to physical limitations, the Soul Core might be able to help them break through the final shackles." Everyone was shocked again upon hearing this. They knew that in the world of Douluo Continent I, Title Douluos were all giants, absolutely capable of suppressing a sect.

The reason why the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex declined was because they never produced a second Title Douluo.

However, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan has many top-tier Soul Douluos, such as Yu Luomian of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. He is Yu Yuanzhen's younger brother and has no shortage of resources, but he is always stuck at level 89 and has not been able to break through no matter how hard he tries.

If the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan had a second Title Douluo, they probably wouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat.

Within the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, there were also two Soul Douluos at level 89. Unfortunately, even with their best efforts, these two were unable to break through, and no amount of resources provided by Ning Fengzhi could help them.

Ning Fengzhi was unusually serious at this moment: "It's best if you don't go out for the time being. Organize all the specific procedures for condensing the soul core. Perhaps the appearance of the soul core is the key to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's strength, and it may allow the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to achieve a qualitative leap."

Yang Xiong nodded: "Sect Master, I understand. I will sort out the method for condensing the soul core as soon as possible. However, the process of condensing the soul core is extremely dangerous. If you are not a Title Douluo or an 89th-level Soul Douluo, do not try it lightly, otherwise there is a more than 90% chance of dying. Even if you are a Title Douluo, you need to have several experts around you to watch over you if you want to condense the soul core."

Ning Fengzhi and the others didn't say anything more, but Dugu Bo seemed to have something to say but hesitated.

"Senior Poison Douluo, do you perhaps have some advice?"

Dugu Bo then said helplessly, "Little monster, I think this soul core you've researched seems to be quite useful to me. Why don't I try it first and see if I can successfully condense a soul core?"

Yang Xiong looked at Dugu Bo helplessly and said, "Senior Poison Douluo, you've already condensed a poison pill, what do you need a soul core for?"

"Furthermore, based on my research just now, I'm afraid each person can only condense one soul core. If a second soul core appears in the body at the same time, the two soul cores will probably repel each other, eventually causing the body to explode and die."

"Of course, if there were a special method that would allow two soul cores to coexist, both recovery ability and strength would be greatly improved, but it would be a hundred times more dangerous than the first soul core. I'm afraid I would only dare to try it when I reach the Title Douluo level."

"This method of condensing the soul core was developed based on your previous research on the poison pill. You naturally have a copy as well. However, senior, you'd better not easily pass it on, otherwise I'm afraid it will attract the covetousness of the Spirit Hall."

Dugu Bo quickly replied, "Don't worry about that. I certainly won't tell anyone else, not even myself."

……

Over the next few days, everyone focused entirely on condensing the soul core.

Unexpectedly, the first person to condense a soul core was not anyone else, but his teacher, Lin Gong.

Lin Gong had already reached the Title Douluo level and was very interested in the research and development of the Soul Master world, so he insisted on taking the lead in preparing to condense a Soul Core, regardless of his own risks.

Fortunately, Lin Gong possessed a top-tier head soul bone and was very knowledgeable about the operation of martial souls and soul power. However, the process was extremely dangerous, and he finally condensed his first soul core after experiencing various hardships.

However, when Lin Gong condensed his first soul core, he seemed overjoyed. At the same time, he provided a lot of suggestions and new ideas based on the research process of the soul core, and even made the whole process more refined and simpler.

After Lin Gong's research was successful, the method of condensing soul cores quickly spread among the top leaders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Originally, the two level 89 Soul Douluos of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, after some deliberation, both decided to desperately condense their Soul Cores.

It is important to know that the process of condensing a soul core is extremely dangerous. Moreover, if one breaks through to become a Title Douluo through condensing a soul core, future advancement will also be limited by the soul core. It can be said that in order to break through, one basically limits future development.

But the two were determined to make one last push, after all, they had been in Contra for far too long.

Both of them are elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, holding high positions within the school and being extremely loyal to it.

One of these two possesses the martial soul of a golden eagle, while the other possesses the martial soul of a Vajra Demon Ape, both of which are top-tier martial beast martial souls.

After breaking through to the Title Douluo level, the two were named Golden Eagle Douluo and Demon Ape Douluo respectively, and their strength was quite good.

Golden Eagle Douluo flies extremely fast, but it is still inferior to the pure agility-type White Crane. However, its attack power is very strong. It is not a pure agility-type Soul Master, but rather a combination of agility-type Soul Master and power-type Soul Master.

The Demon Ape Douluo is a master of both offense and defense, especially possessing incredible strength. In many ways, he is somewhat similar to Zhao Wuji's Mighty Vajra Bear, but while he is not as strong as the Mighty Vajra Bear, he is much more agile.
