Douluo Continent: Become stronger by stealing Tang San's luck

But

"Zhuqing, tell me, why are people sometimes stuck at certain levels?" Tang Lan asked rhetorically.

It looks like they're about to start teaching.

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned.

She never expected Tang Lan to ask her that.

After a moment's thought, he said—

"Being stuck at a certain level, according to custom, means that you have reached your maximum level."

"Could one's mental strength, physical strength, and martial spirit quality all be affected?"

Zhu Zhuqing's answer was concise and to the point.

But Tang Lan shook her head.

He looked at Chenxin.

"And there's the artistic conception."

Dust-hearted man gazes up at the sky and says—

"My soul power has long been accumulated enough, but my understanding of swordsmanship is insufficient, and I have been unable to break through level 97."

"So if the Nine Yang Divine Skill can really help me break through after it changes my tendons and washes my marrow, it will really attract some old guys who are waiting to die."

Zhu Zhuqing found what she heard to be somewhat ambiguous.

You can't understand the so-called "realm" until you reach that level.

Tang Lan shook her head.

"Uncle Jian, Zhu Qing, you're both overthinking it."

"Besides reaching level 100 and becoming a god, which requires faith or a divine position,..."

"For levels below level 100, there are only two possibilities for bottlenecks—insufficient strength of the soul or body."

ha?

This explanation made Chen Xin turn around and look at Tang Lan with a puzzled expression.

Did you not hear a word I just said?

Tang Lan remained completely calm.

He asked with a smile, "Uncle Jian, do you know about the Divine Exam?"

Chen Xin shook his head.

Tang Lan wasn't surprised.

The existence of Seagod Island was sealed off by the Spirit Hall.

Other deities, such as Rakshasa, Angel, and Asura, are not openly known.

It's normal that you haven't heard of Chenxin.

"The so-called divine test is the test set by the gods to pass on their divine positions."

"But God certainly cannot do it himself."

“In addition to the divine test, ordinary tests will be set up to select outstanding believers and help Him find successors.”

“For example, on Poseidon Island overseas, you might not be able to obtain the nine trials of Poseidon, but obtaining the fifth or sixth trial should be no problem.”

"After completing the trial, the sea god will bestow rewards, such as a divine soul ring or a level increase."

"What bottlenecks or not? Under the grace of God, they vanish without a trace."

"What does this have to do with insights?"

Chen Xin was speechless.

This touched on a blind spot in his knowledge, and he had no idea how to answer it.

Tang Lan didn't mind and continued—

"Therefore, I conclude that the bottleneck below level 100 is a matter of the soul and the body."

"As for any innate defects in martial souls, that's just a result, not a cause."

"The root cause is that one's own physique or soul is too weak to bear the emergence of a high-level martial soul, and thus has to degenerate to protect its master, resulting in malnutrition of the martial soul."

"Just like absorbing a spirit ring beyond one's limit would cause one to explode and die."

"If the flaws can be repaired, the martial soul can also evolve again."

"For example, the golden trio of Yu Xiaogang, Flander, and Liu Erlong."

"It was by using the souls, soul power, and physiques of the three that the deficiencies in Yu Xiaogang's martial soul were made up, thus creating the Golden Sacred Dragon."

"My martial soul, the Blue Silver Emperor, has also evolved three times."

Chapter 82 The Underlying Logic of Self-Created Soul Skills! Zhu Zhuqing's Ambition

Tang Lan's statement was reasonable and well-founded.

But

Chen Xin still had questions!

"How do you explain that sudden enlightenment and breakthrough in the bottleneck?" he couldn't help but ask.

"It's very simple, the soul is elevated."

Tang Lan answered fluently—

"The human soul generally cannot be cultivated; it can only grow naturally or increase when breaking through or absorbing soul rings."

"The so-called enlightenment is to perceive the laws of heaven and earth, and to make one's own soul resonate with them, thereby becoming stronger."

"The blocked realm will naturally be broken."

Ah this

How else can it be explained this way?

Chen Xin wanted to find a rebuttal, but her mind went blank.

—How could someone who only knows how to play with swords understand these theories?

"So, according to you, what I lack is a certain level of soul power?" Chen Xin asked doubtfully. "Then how can the Nine Yang Divine Skill, which involves changing tendons and washing marrow, help me break through?"

Tang Lan did not answer directly, but asked again—

"Uncle Jian, why does the upper limit of spirit rings also increase as my physique improves?"

Chen Xin replied without hesitation, "What kind of question is that? Physical strength and soul rings are inherently related."

He was stunned!

Then it dawned on me!

He blurted out, "The upper limit of the soul, like soul power, is also limited by the physical body?"

Tang Lan nodded affirmatively.

This is a truth he only came to understand after his Blue Silver Domain awakened three times, aided by his ultimate life attribute.

"The soul, like soul power, is limited by the physical body, but it can also be purified and compressed."

"When people experience the universe, their souls are elevated."

"Just like when soul power is compressed, the space freed up can naturally accommodate more."

"The bottleneck has been broken."

Chen Xin suddenly felt enlightened!

He then drew inferences from one instance to another, saying, "Therefore, I don't need to be obsessed with comprehending the sword. Even if I comprehend other Daos, as long as I can resonate with heaven and earth, I can break through to a higher realm."

Tang Lan nodded in agreement, but then shook her head.

This has confused Chen Xin.

What do you mean?

Tang Lan explained, "That makes sense, but Uncle Jian, you've spent your whole life dealing with swords, so you have a better grasp of the way of the sword."

"If you try to understand something else along the way, you have to start from scratch, and you may end up getting stuck just the same way."

Chen Xin suddenly realized!

He gave Tang Lan a thumbs up.

"As expected of someone who can write the Tang Clan Encyclopedia, I have learned a lot."

Things that deepen your understanding are hard to find.

However, there are still things that can elevate the soul, though precious.

Once this line of thought is opened up...

The 97th grade seems so close, within easy reach.

But Chen Xin suppressed his feelings.

Don't be in a hurry!

Once the second level of the Nine Yang Divine Skill is perfected, one can naturally break through to a higher realm.

Using external force to break through might damage the foundation, so let's leave that for last.
