Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 667 Dai Chengfeng's Exploding Ring!

Time passed by minute by minute.

The sky outside the window gradually changed from the deepest darkness to indigo, with a faint glimmer of light appearing on the horizon.

The stars disappeared, and the eastern sky began to lighten with the first light of dawn.

As the first rays of dawn were about to leap above the horizon, Dai Chengfeng had already used his soul power to "mark" the seventeen vulnerable nodes on his first soul ring.

"almost."

Dai Chengfeng took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes.

With a thought, he simultaneously activated seventeen nodes!
"Click——"

A very faint sound, like the cracking of glass, resounded deep within my soul.

The light of the first yellow spirit ring suddenly became unstable, flickering violently between light and dark.

But unlike previous attempts, this time, the spirit ring didn't tremble; instead, it... began to "expand."

Yes, expansion.

The spirit rings slowly "rose" from the surface of the White Tiger Martial Soul, like a sticker being carefully peeled off the surface.

"It's now!"

Dai Chengfeng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he clenched his right hand tightly!
"fry!"

"boom!"

A faint, almost inaudible cracking sound rang out, and the spirit ring suspended in the air exploded.

Unlike the violent explosion during Tang Hao's demonstration, this explosion was extremely "gentle." The spirit ring shattered into countless golden specks of light. These specks did not scatter and fly everywhere, but instead seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, gently suspending in the air and forming a golden ball of light.

Dai Chengfeng could feel that he still maintained a faint connection with these points of light—that was maintained through the stretched but unbroken connecting threads.

"guide……"

He concentrated his mind and used his thoughts to control those points of light.

The ball of light began to flow, like a golden stream, following the connecting threads, slowly flowing towards his right arm, and finally completely merging into the White Tiger Martial Soul.

At the very moment the fusion was complete—

A gentle yet powerful force erupted from his right arm, surging throughout his body like a flood breaking through a dam!

Dai Chengfeng's soul power surged by at least 30% at that moment, and it became exceptionally solid, flowing through his meridians like mercury.

He felt every muscle and bone in his body brimming with explosive power, and his five senses became sharper than ever before; he could even hear the sound of dew sliding off leaves in the courtyard.

He raised his right hand, his palm loosely clenched.

"laugh--"

A tearing sound echoed through the air. Without using any soul skills, a small-scale air burst was created in the palm of his hand with a simple clench.

"This is... the power of the exploding rings."

Dai Chengfeng murmured, a flash of wild joy in his eyes.

Although it was only a hundred-year spirit ring, although its power was only increased by 30%, and although he could feel that the exploded spirit ring would take at least three days to reform, he succeeded!
In just one night, he not only grasped the basics of the Ring Explosion Technique, but also recreated this secret technique of the Haotian Sect in his own way!

Moreover, his methods seem to differ from Tang Hao's.

Tang Hao's spirit ring explosion was even more violent and direct; the spirit ring was "forcibly torn off" before being detonated.

His method is more refined and gentler; it involves resonating with vulnerable nodes to allow the spirit ring to "naturally peel off" and then decompose and absorb.

Which one is better?

Dai Chengfeng carefully sensed the changes within his body.

The energy absorption rate is approximately 70%.

In other words, 70% of the energy generated by the spirit ring explosion is absorbed and transformed by the spirit, while the remaining 30% is lost.

This ratio isn't high, but for a first attempt, it's already astonishing.

The burden on the martial spirit is... very small.

He could sense that the White Tiger Martial Soul was undamaged; only the connecting threads were somewhat "fatigued" from being stretched and needed time to recover.

Soul ring recovery time... approximately three days.

This is the biggest weakness.

In battle, a spirit ring cannot be used for three days; the cost is too high. "It's still not enough."

The joy in Dai Chengfeng's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a calm analysis.

"Too much energy has been lost, and the soul ring recovery time is too long."

"Moreover, the process just now was too slow—it took nearly five seconds from the start of the resonance node to the final absorption of energy."

"In a real battle, the enemy won't give me five seconds to prepare."

Dai Chengfeng dispersed his power, and the exploded spirit ring light spots slowly separated from his martial soul, recombine in the air, and condense into a yellow halo.

However, the halo's radiance has dimmed considerably, and the surface patterns are somewhat blurred. It will require time to heal and restore it to its original state.

"But at least it proves that the path was the right one."

"My method is theoretically safer than Tang Hao's ring-exploding method and causes less damage to the martial soul."

"Next, it's all about repeated practice and continuous optimization."

Dai Chengfeng stood up and stretched his somewhat stiff body.

He hadn't slept all night, but he was in excellent spirits, his eyes showing no sign of fatigue, only a deep, unfathomable brightness.

Morning light streamed in through the window, illuminating the entire room.

He pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard.

The morning air is cool and carries the fragrance of grass and trees, which invigorates the spirit.

Dai Chengfeng did not immediately begin cultivating. Instead, he stood in the center of the courtyard, closed his eyes, and recalled the entire process that had just occurred.

Every detail, every flow of energy, every change at every node...

“Resonance nodes can be faster if all nodes can resonate simultaneously, instead of one by one…”

“Energy guidance can be more efficient. Perhaps we can use soul power to construct a ‘guidance channel’ before the soul ring shatters, allowing energy to flow into the martial soul in a more orderly manner…”

"Can the soul ring recovery time be shortened?"

"If, during the ring explosion, the structure of the spirit ring is not completely shattered, but rather 'partially disintegrated,' releasing only a portion of the energy while preserving the remaining core structure, wouldn't the recovery be faster?"

One idea after another popped into my mind.

a long time.

"Try the second approach."

Dai Chengfeng released his martial soul again, and this time, he chose the second purple soul ring.

With the experience from the first time, he was more skilled this time.

He probed the inside of the spirit ring with his mental energy, quickly located all the vulnerable points, and then—

Simultaneous resonance!

The seventeen nodes were stimulated by the soul power at the same time, emitting a harmonious resonance. The soul rings rose from the surface of the martial soul almost instantly and floated in the air.

“Build a guidance channel.”

Dai Chengfeng was multitasking, maintaining the resonance of the nodes while using his soul power to weave a complex network between the soul rings and the martial soul.

"fry!"

The spirit ring shattered and turned into specks of light.

This time, however, the light spots did not scatter. Instead, they flowed along the predetermined path, like rivers flowing into the sea, rapidly entering the White Tiger Martial Soul.

The whole process took only two seconds.

Energy surged into his body, and Dai Chengfeng carefully experienced it.

"Absorption rate... 80%! That's improved!"

Moreover, the burden on the martial soul is less because the energy flow is more orderly and the impact on the connecting threads is gentler.

"What about the recovery time?"

He observed the newly formed spirit ring and noticed that its light was less dim than the first time.

"It should only take two and a half days to recover, it's effective!"

The light in Dai Chengfeng's eyes shone even brighter.
