Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 326 An Unprecedented Soul Saint with Dual Soul Cores (4 words)

With the one-month deadline fast approaching, countless people eagerly await the outcome for Shrek Academy.

Compared to the ancient dynasties of the past, everything in the Douluo Continent is based on strength.

With several titled Douluo and level-nine Soul Masters openly supporting it, even those below, who felt the Sun Moon Empire was no longer "pure," could say nothing more.

As it turns out, this empress had already declared war on Shrek Academy, the "symbol" of Douluo Continent, as soon as she ascended to the throne, and was capable of defeating Shrek Academy.

Will Shrek Academy be able to issue the summons this time?
The Mingdu explosion killed not only the people of the Sun Moon Empire, but also the participating teams from various sects and the spectators from the three great empires. The generals and officials from Shrek Academy in the three great empires did not dare to step forward to support Shrek Academy at this time.

But not daring to voice support is one thing, whether it will actually happen is another.

After all, if they secretly came to support Shrek Academy, the emperors would be helpless.

Mingdu, imperial palace.

After the renovation, the palace as a whole did not change much, except that the landmarks were renamed. The members of the Bright Hall, whom Wang Dong'er had helped to build, and their families also moved into the renovated East and West Six Palaces of the palace.

After all, now that the Empress has ascended the throne, there is no longer any talk of a harem. The palace has been simply renovated into a more suitable place for families to live, such as Jiang Nannan and her mother, Wu Feng, Ning Tian, ​​and so on.

The inner court became the residence of Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Meng Hongchen, Wang Qiu'er, Gu Yuena, and others.

The outer court of the palace, directly opposite the square, was the area for imperial ceremonies and political activities.

Since the coronation ceremony, Wang Dong'er had to deal with some things due to her new identity as empress, which delayed her cultivation for a while. However, with Ju Zi's assistance, it wasn't too troublesome.

After all, Ju Zi had been around Xu Tianran for many years, and with her military experience, she was very experienced.

Although the Mingdu explosion destroyed many of the Sun Moon Empire's soul tools, fortunately, all the project data from Mingde Hall was preserved intact. Jing Hongchen kept a separate copy, and the data was not affected by the explosion. The core project that Mingde Hall had been researching, Project No. 1, was also unaffected.

Some of the blueprints provided by Wang Dong'er were even more advanced than Project One. Now that Kong Deming was busy researching his own level 10 soul tool, he didn't have time to lead the research team, so Jing Hongchen became the person in charge. However, Kong Deming would occasionally lend a hand to refresh his mind, which was helpful for his research on his own level 10 soul tool.

During this month, Wang Dong'er spent her time reflecting on the process of condensing a soul core by studying the advancement experiences of a group of Title Douluos.

Soul power is a refined form of energy. Soul masters absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth through meditation to refine soul power and store it in their bodies and martial souls. It flows like a gas or liquid.

Energy itself does not have a solid, liquid, or gaseous state; what can be distinguished is the carrier of energy. Martial Soul, Soul Ring, Soul Bone, and Soul Tool are the carriers of Soul Power, this energy.

When a Soul Master cultivates to the Title Douluo level, the form of their Soul Power changes from "flowing like gas or liquid" to "converting into a solid state." At this point, what can bear this transformation is the "Soul Core."

It can be said that the soul core is the "core" of soul power, and it is also the foundation for becoming a titled Douluo in the current soul power cultivation.

When a Soul Master compresses their Soul Power into a solid state, a Soul Core will naturally condense and be stored in their Dantian.

Once the soul core is formed, it will rotate naturally and continuously, and can autonomously refine the external spiritual energy into soul power, thereby greatly enhancing the soul master's combat power and recovery ability compared to before becoming a titled Douluo.

Therefore, the title of Douluo is often described as "achieving a title is like ascending to heaven in one step".

However, after soul power solidifies into a soul core, it becomes much more difficult to continue increasing the level of soul power compared to before, so the cultivation of a soul master becomes slower and slower as time goes on.

Moreover, after condensing the soul core, because the soul master himself cannot make this "solid-like" soul power circulate in the body, he can only decompose it and then circulate it again. This process is both difficult and extremely dangerous. Therefore, many titled Douluo who do not have enough talent will immediately give up continuing to cultivate and improve after obtaining the ninth soul ring and stabilizing at level ninety-one.

Those Title Douluos whose talents are sufficient to continue to improve all possess relatively strong mental power. As long as their mental power is strong enough to control these decomposed "solid-like" soul powers and make them flow again, they have touched the limit of Super Douluo.

Compared to cultivating from a Title Douluo to a Super Douluo, cultivating to the Super Douluo realm is equally difficult. The Soul Core itself is already a highly compressed product. To continue improving at the Super Douluo realm, one needs to further compress the Soul Core, which involves the control of another power: the power of space.

When it comes to mastering spatial power, apart from Gu Yuena, no one on this planet understands it better than Di Tian.

Therefore, the higher up you go, the more forces need to be involved, and the more difficult it becomes to achieve perfect coordination.

Reaching the Limit Douluo realm involves the creation of a second soul core.

Generally, titled Douluo will place their first soul core in their dantian, because it is the easiest place to compress and condense the soul core. The only options for the second soul core are the chest and the space between the eyebrows. Compressing and condensing the soul core is already difficult, and when it comes to advancing to the Limit Douluo realm, the difficulty increases dramatically.

When the first soul core is formed, it becomes the core of soul power. All soul power revolves around the first soul core, which has a strong control and influence over soul power. The establishment of the second soul core will inevitably affect the first soul core.

After all, originally you only need to move around one center point, but now there are two center points competing for soul power, so the interference will naturally be great.

The compressed soul core is essentially like a volcano. As long as the soul master has enough control, they can force this volcano to become one whose eruption time and intensity can be controlled.

If the Soul Master loses control, the volcano becomes an extremely unstable volcano, like a bomb that could explode at any moment. Once it explodes, not only the body but even the soul may be affected.

There are two methods for condensing the second soul core. The three Limit Douluo, Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui, all used the same method of resonance to condense their soul cores. This method allows the second soul core to be centered on the first soul core and follow the rules of the first soul core, thus forming a state similar to "concentric circles". In this way, the influence is minimal.

Although this coagulation method is difficult, it has the advantage of being less dangerous and can be tried continuously.

The second method for establishing a second soul core is the Yin-Yang complementarity method of Emperor Tian.

The method of condensing the second soul core using the Yin-Yang complementarity technique involves directly reversing the rotation of the second soul core in the same direction as the first. This difference alone reveals that this method is undoubtedly much more dangerous than the isotopic resonance method. As long as the reverse rotation can be completed, the second soul core will become independent and coordinate with the first soul core in a unique way.

The most dangerous aspect of this method is not that the second soul core operates in reverse despite the enormous interference and pressure from the first soul core, but rather that chaos occurs during the condensation of the soul core, leading to cyclical disorder.

Therefore, to condense a second soul core using the Yin-Yang complementarity method, one needs extremely strong strength, perseverance, and mental power to maintain the full-force reverse operation of the second soul core.

When the second soul core and the first soul core gradually reach the same level, a unique conflict will occur between the two soul cores. Successfully overcoming this conflict and fusing together will result in the formation of a balanced Yin-Yang dual soul core. Failure, however, usually leads to only one outcome: death.

Among the soul beasts, even the Snow Empress failed to condense a Yin-Yang complementary soul core.

After Wang Dong'er expressed her desire to condense a soul core at the Soul Saint level, most ninth-level soul masters said that this was absolutely impossible, and Zhang Lexuan also rejected the idea based on her knowledge.

Only Di Tian and Gu Yuena directly supported Wang Dong'er.

The others didn't think Wang Dong'er couldn't successfully condense a soul core when she reached the Soul Saint level; on the contrary, almost all of them believed that Wang Dong'er would definitely succeed.

After all, Wang Dong'er's physical and mental strength were already far beyond the standard, her martial soul was incredibly powerful, and she had the guidance of Di Tian and Gu Yuena in controlling spatial power, so it was nothing for her. In this way, Wang Dong'er had basically gathered all the elements needed to condense her first soul core, so it wouldn't be very difficult for her.

The problem is that if she condenses her first soul core at this point, then when Wang Dong'er cultivates to become a Title Douluo, the difficulty for her to condense her second soul core will be just as difficult as for other Title Douluos to advance to Limit Douluo.

Look at Xuanzi from Shrek Academy. How long has he been stuck at level 98 since he reached it?

However, Wang Dong'er had already made up her mind. The reason she gathered all the titled Douluo together was simply to get more information from different sources.

During this month, Wang Dong'er spent half of her time researching how to condense her soul core.

She possesses twin martial souls. Theoretically, if she chooses to condense her soul cores when she reaches the Title Douluo level, she could attempt to condense two soul cores simultaneously.

But what if one condenses two soul cores at the Soul Saint stage?

Many people were shocked by Wang Dong'er's bold idea, but Di Tian became interested in it.

Twin martial souls are a miracle for human soul masters, and throughout the history of the soul master world, the appearance of twin martial souls is extremely rare.

If Wang Dong'er can truly condense two soul cores at the Soul Saint level, then with her foundation, she might be able to fight even a Super Douluo of level 95 or higher without being at a disadvantage.

Once Wang Dong'er reaches the Title Douluo level, if she condenses an unprecedented third soul core, even Di Tian dares not imagine what it will be like.

So, after several days of thought and preparation, Wang Dong'er arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and officially began to condense her soul core.

Although she doesn't rely on mental power as her primary attribute like Huo Yuhao, her mental power is still incredibly strong. After emptying her mind and thoroughly experiencing herself, Wang Dong'er opened her eyes.

The soul and body are perfectly in harmony, and when the martial soul is released at the same time, the flow of soul power is also incredibly smooth, without any conflict whatsoever.

From this perspective, Wang Dong'er has a greater advantage compared to other twin martial soul possessors.

He raised his left and right hands simultaneously, palms facing upwards, and placed them on his lap. Two streams of soul power surged forth at the same time, one icy blue and the other golden red.

If soul power is not used to perform soul skills or combat attacks, but is simply expelled from the body, it will quickly dissipate into the outside world, which is equivalent to wasting soul power.

However, under Wang Dong'er's mental control, the two surging soul energies did not leak out at all. Instead, they began to slowly compress and rotate. During this process, Wang Dong'er continued to inject soul energy into them.

She thought of using a potter's wheel, and what she was doing now was like using both hands to turn the potter's wheel at the same time, and then shaping a pottery jar of the same size in each hand as it rotated.

The rotation of soul power became faster and faster, but remained extremely stable. Wang Dong'er's expression remained relaxed, as if she wasn't under much pressure.

Gradually, the two rotating soul energies began to form two vortexes, absorbing the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy). The area around the soul energy vortexes appeared distorted, as if even light was being distorted and absorbed.

This Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire was originally a place with extremely rich spiritual energy. Now, it has been absorbed by Wang Dong'er's two vortexes of soul power, forming two massive spiritual energy storms. The Frosty Ice Spring and the Blazing Yang Spring have also begun to stir.

Ice-blue and golden-red light illuminated both sides as Wang Dong'er devoted herself entirely to the process of condensing her soul core.

More and more soul power and the primordial energy of heaven and earth were incorporated into the soul power vortex, until the extreme cold ice spring and the blazing hot yang spring also began to form two tornadoes that swept over, and the entire ice and fire yin-yang eye was completely insane.

At this moment, Wang Dong'er's own soul power had been completely integrated into the soul power vortex. Around the soul power vortex, tiny black cracks gradually appeared, which was a sign that space was being torn apart.

These two vortexes of soul power are constantly drawing spatial power from the tiny cracks that have been torn apart. The more they draw, the larger the cracks become, and the faster Wang Dong'er's mental power is consumed in order to maintain balance and resist the violent spatial power.

Finally, the vortex of soul power absorbed to its limit and lost its color, transforming into an incomparably deep darkness, like a black hole, where even light was captured, forming ice-blue and golden-red edges around the black hole.

Most importantly, from the very beginning, Wang Dong'er rotated these two soul cores in opposite directions according to the Yin-Yang complementary method, so the two soul cores have been balanced from the very beginning.

The raging energy tornado had now subsided, and the two soul cores rippled quietly in front of him.

Next, we will absorb both soul cores simultaneously.
