Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Next up is the mech competition. Unlike the easy victory in the first round of the Soul Master Battle, which was won without a fight, this round-robin mech competition is much more difficult.

There were still quite a few people watching the game.

Gu You still had the mecha wield long spears in battle.

His opponent piloted a ranged mech, but unlike the ranged mechs he had encountered before that used soul-guided cannons, this ranged mech's weapon was two giant boomerangs.

Two boomerangs were crossed behind it, shimmering with a faint silver light.

As the match began, Ling Wuyue's mecha raised both hands simultaneously, grasping the boomerangs protruding from both ends of her shoulders, and then hurled them at Gu You.

Gu You stared intently at the screen, a flash of colorful light appearing on the mecha's weapon.

Ding!

The collision of the gun and the boomerang produced a series of metallic sounds.

The boomerang was deflected instantly, then guided by some force, it returned to Ling Wuyue's mecha.

In those few seconds, the jet engines of the mecha behind Gu You reached maximum power, and with lightning speed, he unleashed a King's Spear technique.

Boom!

Several pieces of mech debris flew out of the arena...

What happened?

Ling Wuyue stared blankly at her hands, gritting her teeth. She was unwilling to accept defeat. As one of the Blood God Legion's ace mecha pilots, had she really lost like this?

Sold out instantly!

Ling Wuyue put on her military uniform to cover her beautiful figure, and her face was extremely ugly.

……

After leaving the Star Battle Network, Gu You went to his new dormitory and sat down to meditate.

Today, he will break through to the Saintly Realm and enter the Soul Realm!

Countless soul energies began to converge on him, and at the same time, a white vortex slowly emerged in the blood and qi vortex within his body.

As the vortex absorbed soul power, it began to change slightly. If Gu You were to look inward at this moment, he would see streaks of white lightning flashing around the vortex.

Among Soul Masters, only one in a hundred can cultivate a Soul Core. A seven-ring Soul Saint level cultivation is the true mark of a high-level Soul Master. And a Soul Core is the hallmark of a seven-ring Soul Saint; only with a Soul Core can one develop towards a Martial Soul True Body.

However, this is not the case. The Martial Soul True Form does not require a trigger. Rather, it depends on your compatibility with your Martial Soul. Even without a Soul Core, once you reach the seventh ring, as long as your compatibility with your Martial Soul is high, you can still use the Martial Soul True Form.

It's just a difference in how it's consumed; with a Soul Core, the Martial Soul True Body lasts longer.

The white vortex transformed into streaks of soul power, which continuously collapsed inward as they swirled, giving the impression of a black hole appearing in the soul sea, absorbing everything from the outside world as it collapsed.

The dragon core sat firmly in the center of his chest, radiating a soft, colorful halo, and strengthening Gu You's bones, meridians, and muscles.

Soul Masters must return to body tempering after reaching a certain level of cultivation because without a strong physique, they cannot withstand such powerful energy fluctuations during the continuous improvement and breakthrough of their soul power.

Some people spend their entire lives trying to break through from Soul Douluo to Title Douluo, and this is often explained in the history of Douluo by the fact that talent is not a given.

But this is truly laughable. How could someone cultivate to the level of a Soul Douluo with poor talent?

This problem is undoubtedly the easiest for Gu You to deal with, as his physical strength has long exceeded the level required to condense a soul core, and has already reached the god level.

Inside the white vortex, it collapsed and expanded, then collapsed and expanded again. Each time this process repeated, Gu You endured immense pain. He could also clearly feel the primordial energy of heaven and earth surging wildly towards him during this process, each surge bringing extremely strong fluctuations in soul power.

It's like an infinite repetition of a black hole transforming into a white hole, and then a white hole transforming into a black hole again.

Inside the Blood God Camp, Xue Yi opened his eyes from meditation, a strange light flashing in them.

He made a light gesture with his right hand in the air, and soon a faint smile appeared on his face. He floated up, pushed open the door, and went out.

As he stepped out of the room, he saw Xue San also walking out of another room not far away.

"Blood One, you sensed it? It was him?" Blood Three's eyes were filled with surprise.

Xue Yi smiled and nodded. "Isn't it him? Even my absorption speed of soul power was affected. How much soul power has this little guy absorbed from this area of ​​a hundred miles around!"

"Sigh, this makes it impossible for me to concentrate on my cultivation. My soul power absorption speed has dropped to one-fifth."

"Hopefully he can succeed in achieving this..."

As Gu You's body began to absorb the elemental energy of heaven and earth from the air, he entered a wondrous state. His consciousness began to expand outward, and he could vaguely sense countless energy molecules cheering him on. He could even distinguish the different attributes of these energies. Among them, ice and water elements were the most abundant. Dark elements were also plentiful, and wind elements were exceptionally strong.

Light is less abundant than other elements, but it is extremely pure. This is probably because there are not many impurities in the air. Thin air has its disadvantages, but its advantage is that it makes everything pure.

This vast amount of primordial energy from heaven and earth is constantly flowing into Gu You's body.

Just then, the elemental energy in the air suddenly intensified. The feeling of being able to clearly see each element before instantly turned into a vast sea of ​​elements, and Gu You's body was immersed in this sea of ​​elements.

The dense array of elemental attributes surged in, penetrating his body and merging into his dantian. The bands of soul power instantly became clearer, their rotation speed increasing, and in the center of his dantian, an oval-shaped crystal gradually took shape.

The crystal itself emitted a greenish glow, and in the center of the crystal, there seemed to be a newly sprouted branch.

It burst forth from the earth, breaking through everything. Fearless of the scorching fire, fearless of the hard stone.

Gu You's mind grew increasingly calm, his entire being immersed in the perception of the elemental world. Silently meditating, silently sensing, each change in energy made him feel his life constantly sublimating, as if he were about to enter another world.

The soul core is essentially a change in vital signs. From this moment on, he was no longer an ordinary human, but had truly become a superhuman being.

The formation of a soul core, for normal humans, inherently extends lifespan by a hundred years. Its significance lies in being a magnificent milestone in a soul master's entire cultivation process. Every soul master has only ever taken this step…
