Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

There is no absolute difference in strength between self-created soul skills and soul ring skills.

Creating your own soul skills doesn't necessarily guarantee a high-level experience; many are just plain bad.

While Soul Ring Skills are relatively rigid and lack the flexibility of self-created Soul Skills without further development, they can enjoy more of the benefits of the Martial Soul True Body.

After all, many Soul Masters' Martial Soul True Body has the effect of no cooldown for Soul Skills below the seventh ring. By transforming their self-created Soul Skills into Soul Skills below the seventh ring, they can unleash continuous bursts without cooldown restrictions.

In addition, few self-created soul skills in the mainland soul master world can rival the power of a 100,000-year soul skill. Perhaps most soul masters below level 90 cannot transform their self-created soul skills into 100,000-year soul skills through the "Condensing Ring Method," but there are a few geniuses who are not among them.

Take Mu Yang for example. Although the power of his Ice Flame Spear Secret Technique is decent, its actual power is obviously not as good as a 100,000-year-old powerful attack soul skill.

If the Ice Flame Spear secret technique were transformed into a soul ring skill, with his current physical attributes, it would be sufficient to transform it into an Ice Flame Spear soul ring skill with an age far exceeding 100,000 years, and its power would be greatly enhanced.

The only pity is that, according to the feedback information from the innate ability of deduction, even if the self-condensed soul ring reaches 100,000 years, it can only record one self-created soul skill and cannot record a second one.

Moreover, once burned, it cannot be modified again, and there is no such thing as arbitrary modification.

In addition, not every self-created soul skill is suitable for being transformed into a soul ring skill through the "Soul Ring Condensation Method". The compatibility between the self-created soul skill and the martial soul needs to be considered.

For example, if Mu Yang's Soul-Capturing Secret Technique or Real Illusion Secret Technique were inscribed into the self-condensing soul ring of the Ice Flame Sacred Shadow Martial Soul, the actual effect would be worse than the secret technique version of Soul-Capturing or Real Illusion because the Ice Flame Sacred Shadow Martial Soul is not a spirit-type Martial Soul.

Take Huo Wushuang's Crimson Crystal Dragon Martial Soul as another example. If the subsequent self-condensed eighth or ninth soul ring were inscribed into the hammer technique, it would also be a useless soul skill.

Hmm~, perhaps when Huo Wushuang, with his martial soul attached, activates this soul skill, the effect will be that he spits out a fiery red hammer? Or perhaps he will smash people by gripping a dragon claw?

The specific scene is hard to imagine, but there is no doubt that if the compatibility between a self-created soul skill and a martial soul is too low, or even completely irrelevant, then if it is forcibly engraved into a self-condensed soul ring and transformed into a soul ring skill, then the soul skill attached to this self-condensed soul ring will basically be wasted and will not be able to show the power that a high-age soul skill should have.

It is also worth noting that if the self-created soul skill is of a high level, but the self-condensed soul ring is of a low age, then the level of the self-created soul skill will decrease accordingly after it is transformed into a soul ring skill. There will not be a situation where the soul ring is of a low age but the soul skill is very powerful.

Conversely, if a self-created soul skill is of a very low level, but the self-condensed soul ring is of an extremely high age, then after this self-created soul skill is transformed into a soul ring skill, there will be corresponding level of optimization. Without considering compatibility, the actual effect of the soul ring skill will match the age of the soul ring.

It can be said that this characteristic effectively guarantees that Soul Masters who advance through the "Condensing Ring Technique" will not be weaker than Soul Masters who advance by hunting Soul Beasts.

After all, as long as there are no problems with the compatibility, even the worst self-created soul skill will not be weaker than the average level after the self-condensed soul ring is optimized and corrected over time.

Of course, since the soul skill of self-condensed soul rings is transformed from a self-created soul skill, the "Soul Ring Condensation Technique" is not very suitable for support-type soul masters.

For example, if a food-type Soul Master wants to obtain a food-type Soul Skill with damage reduction effects, what self-created Soul Skill should they use to transform it?

For example, what kind of self-created soul skill should be used to transform an "absolute defense" such as the Invincible Golden Body?

However, to be fair, although the "Circle Condensation Technique" has significant flaws, it is indeed a very powerful and widely applicable secret art.

Moreover, if it can be combined with a secret technique to increase the age of soul rings in the future, many soul masters will be able to become powerful without hunting soul beasts.

"Eight spirit ring slots should be enough for me to reach level 99, the Peerless Douluo, right?"

Mu Yang couldn't help but think to himself.

The Ice and Fire Immortal Jade Ginseng Martial Soul is still missing its ninth spirit ring, while the Ice Flame Holy Shadow Martial Soul only has its first and second spirit rings attached. The two Martial Souls together have eight empty spirit ring slots.

He is currently an 84th-level Soul Douluo, and is still fifteen Soul Power levels away from the 99th-level Peerless Douluo. On average, each Soul Ring slot increases his Soul Power by less than two levels, so it shouldn't be a problem.

In other words, he no longer needs to diligently meditate and cultivate; he can directly fill all the soul power accumulation required before becoming a god by condensing his own soul ring or by attaching a divinely bestowed soul ring.

Wow, this is so awesome!

Afterwards, Mu Yang took out paper and pen, wrote down "The Condensation Ring Method", washed up, and ate two soul-power ginseng roots to fill his stomach. Mu Yang then prepared to hand over the secret method to Huo Lie.

Although Mu Yang did not intend to promote the "Frozen Ring Method" to the wider community, it could still be popularized on a small scale among the academy's higher-ups.

After all, with the "Condensing Ring Technique" in hand, the new Title Douluo from the Elemental Holy Academy will not be without a 100,000-year soul ring in their possession.

As soon as he stepped outside, Mu Yang saw Shui Bing'er with a happy expression on her face.

"Bing'er, you've condensed your first soul core?"

Noticing an invisible vortex of soul power appearing in Shui Bing'er's abdomen, Mu Yang asked with a smile.

"Of course! How could a mere soul core possibly stump this young lady?!"

Shui Bing'er raised her head and said with a proud expression.

"Wow, double happiness!"

Mu Yang smacked his lips.

"Double happiness? What's the occasion?"

Shui Bing'er was taken aback and asked.

"I've got something good, but you won't need it."

Although the "Frozen Ring Method" is quite effective, Shui Bing'er doesn't need it.

Compared to divinely bestowed soul rings, self-condensed soul rings are somewhat lacking. In the previous five assessments, the Asura Master had already given two divinely bestowed soul rings, and the eighth and ninth soul rings were already secured. Shui Bing'er really didn't need the "Soul Ring Condensation Technique".

"What good stuff?"

Blinking her beautiful, icy blue eyes, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but feel curious.

"You'll find out soon enough, and I'll explain it all at once then."

With that, Mu Yang pulled Shui Bing'er to Huo Lie's dean's office.

"Hiss~, there really is such a heaven-defying secret technique in the world?"

Inside the office, after learning about the effects of the "Circulation Method," Huo Lie couldn't help but gasp, then shook his head and sighed, "What a pity, if only this thing had appeared a few years earlier."

If the academy had possessed the "Spirit Ring Condensation Technique" before he advanced to the Title Douluo level, wouldn't Huo Lie already have a ninth spirit ring with a ten-thousand-year lifespan? (End of Chapter)
