Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Three days later, with everything arranged, Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er left the City of Slaughter and returned to the academy.

Using the sword imprint of the Asura Divine Sword at the center of his brow as a guide, he activated the divine power of the Asura God statue within the temple, thus re-granting all members of the enforcement team the authority to use soul skills within the City of Slaughter.

With a team consisting of one nine-ring titled Douluo, seven eight-ring Soul Douluos, more than twenty seven-ring Soul Saints, and over a hundred six-ring Soul Emperors, the enforcement team is more than capable of maintaining order in the City of Slaughter.

Moreover, Mu Yang had made arrangements in advance. He entrusted the high priest "Shang" in the Asura Secret Realm to intervene and stabilize the situation when an unexpected situation occurred in the City of Slaughter.

With a god-level expert in charge, Mu Yang wasn't worried about any unexpected events happening in the Slaughter City, unless another god-level expert also came.

But how could a god-level expert dare to act recklessly in the City of Slaughter?

The reason why the Asura Boss could tolerate the Rakshasa God's underhanded tactics against Tang Chen was mainly because it was part of Tang Chen's divine test. If other god-level powerhouses dared to cause trouble in the City of Slaughter, they would probably be met with a direct Asura Judgment from the sky.

After returning to the academy, Mu Yang didn't rush to challenge Qian Daoliu and Poseidon.

After all, these two demigods are only half a step away from becoming gods at level 100, and are at the peak below the god level. With a simple amplification soul skill, their strength can temporarily enter the god level, making them no weaker than Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow. This is something that the half-crippled Evil Thought Tang Chen cannot compare to.

In addition, given that there is still considerable room for improvement in his own abilities, and since there is no time limit for the assessment, Mu Yang is not in a hurry.

I plan to complete the assessment after I finish the eighth and ninth soul rings of the Ice Flame Holy Shadow and condense the third soul core.

However, it's unlikely that he can complete his eighth and ninth spirit rings anytime soon.

Among the many spirit rings already possessed by his two martial souls, there are quite a few that are extremely old. With his current physical condition, he is not strong enough to condense the eighth spirit ring of the Ice Flame Holy Shadow, which is 999,999 years old, let alone the ninth spirit ring.

If we were to directly condense the eighth spirit ring of Ice Flame Saint Shadow using the divinely bestowed spirit ring now, it would definitely be a losing proposition.

Unable to increase his soul power level, he needs to condense a third soul core to improve the quality of his soul power and then improve his physical fitness by raising the cultivation threshold of the "Sun Body Refinement" technique.

Or perhaps they could deduce a secret method to increase the lifespan of a soul bone, allowing physical attributes to improve as the soul bone's lifespan increases.

The former has little hope. His soul power level had only surged from 90-level Quasi-Title Douluo to 98-level Title Douluo a few months ago, and his soul power control level inevitably declined significantly. In addition, his previous advantage of having much higher mental power than soul power was gone, so the difficulty of condensing the Yin-Yang complementary third soul core was unimaginable. He definitely had no chance in the near future.

On the contrary, the latter is something to look forward to, because Mu Yang can sense that it won't be long before the secret method for increasing the age of his soul bones that he has been waiting for will be unveiled.

Of course, it's just something to look forward to.

After all, even if a secret method for increasing the age of a soul bone is invented, it will still take time to increase the age of a soul bone through the secret method. Both aspects need to be advanced simultaneously.

Therefore, after returning to the academy, Mu Yang devoted almost all his time, apart from deducing secret techniques, to improving his control over soul power.

Time flies, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Late that night, on the balcony, Mu Yang, bathed in the moonlight, was activating his innate deduction ability to perform a secret deduction technique.

Suddenly, the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from Mu Yang subsided. He opened his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

The secret method to enhance the age of a soul bone has finally been revealed!

What surprised Mu Yang even more was that the secret method for increasing the age of a soul bone also applied to increasing the age of a soul ring; there was no difference between the two.

In other words, he no longer needs to separately deduce the secret method to increase the age of his spirit rings.

"Let's call it... Ascension Technique!"

After a moment's thought, Mu Yang gave a name to this secret technique that could enhance the lifespan of soul rings and soul bones.

The name "Ascension Method" is derived from the Ascension Platform, which in later generations allowed people to increase the age of their soul rings by killing soul beasts.

Then, Mu Yang couldn't wait to start practicing the "Spirit Ascension Technique".

In an instant, the surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) rapidly converged and entered Mu Yang's body, then transformed into a special spiritual power, flowing entirely to his head.

With the advent of the "Spirit Ascension Technique," Mu Yang prioritized upgrading his Soul Bones over Soul Rings.

After all, increasing the age of the spirit rings would increase the burden on his spirit ring endurance, which would be detrimental to condensing the eighth and ninth divinely bestowed spirit rings of the Ice Flame Holy Shadow Martial Soul earlier.

Conversely, prioritizing the improvement of one's soul bone in a given year will enhance physical fitness, making it easier to condense the eighth and ninth divinely bestowed soul rings earlier.

External soul bones can increase their age as their level increases, without needing to deliberately use the "Spirit Ascension Method" to increase their age. Only the six soul bones in the six normal soul bone slots require an increase in age.

However, the soul bones in the torso and limbs that can improve physical fitness are not among Mu Yang's top priorities. Instead, he prioritizes the wisdom skull, which can improve mental cohesion but cannot improve physical fitness.

The skull, representing the concentrated wisdom of the spirit, is only a little over 60,000 years old, while the soul bones in the torso and limbs are all over 100,000 years old. They look rather out of place and seriously lower the level of his soul bone configuration.

Moreover, for Mu Yang right now, what he urgently needs to improve is not only his physical fitness, but also his mental strength.

Because increased mental strength helps in condensing the third soul core.

After the third soul core is condensed, the quality of soul power is greatly improved, and then one can improve physical fitness by relying on the body tempering technique "Sun Body Refinement".

Therefore, the soul bones in the torso and limbs will have to wait until Mu Yang increases the age of the wisdom skull formed by spiritual condensation to 100,000 years before the age can be increased.

Time passed slowly, the moon set and the sun rose, and before we knew it, it was the next morning.

"Tsk, the efficiency is a bit low!"

Exiting cultivation, Mu Yang felt a pang of regret as he examined the skull of spiritual condensation, which showed only a modest increase in years of cultivation.

Indeed, there are shortcuts in the world, but even shortcuts are rarely smooth roads.

Judging from the increase in age of the Wisdom Skull formed by spiritual condensation last night, it's impossible for him to raise the age of all his soul rings and soul bones to 999,999 in the short term. It would probably take at least three years or even longer.

Yes, that's right, it's 999,999 years, not a million years.

Perhaps because million-year soul rings and soul bones have already reached the god-level realm, the upper limit of the effectiveness of the "Ascension Technique" is the same as the upper limit of the age of the divinely bestowed soul ring, which is 999,999 years, which is only one step away from a million years.

A mere year's difference can mean the difference between a god and a mortal, a fact that Mu Yang deeply regrets. (End of Chapter)
