Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

"I just wonder if Boss Shura will be able to make up for this last year for me?"

Mu Yang couldn't help but think to himself.

Throughout the original work, apart from the tenth spirit ring that appeared after reaching level 100 and becoming a god, there were other million-year spirit rings that appeared before. Tang San's second spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer, had its ninth spirit ring.

Tang San's ninth spirit ring for the Clear Sky Hammer came from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, but the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is not a million-year-old spirit beast; its true age is only close to one million years.

After absorbing the spirit ring of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, which was nearly a million years old, Tang San was able to transform it into a crimson-gold million-year spirit ring. Mu Yang would never believe that this was not due to the secret assistance of the Asura God or the Sea God Poseidon!

Since Tang San in the original story received this treatment, shouldn't he, as the successor to the Asura God position, receive similar treatment?

At this moment, Mu Yang couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

He didn't expect the Asura Boss to reward him like Poseidon, the Sea God in the original story, by increasing the age of all his spirit rings by 50,000 years after Tang San succeeded to the position of Sea God. He only hoped that the Asura Boss could give him a reward of increasing the age of all his spirit rings and spirit bones by one year.

Compared to 50,000 years, which is only one year, this must be quite a small number, right?

Well, hopefully, the great Shura can lend a hand.

Given that the "Ascension Method" was too overpowered, Mu Yang spent another half month deducing a special secret technique and censored the "Ascension Method," dividing it into three versions.

The "Spirit Ascension Method 1.0" sets the maximum age increase for Soul Rings and Soul Bones to 10,000 years.

The "Spirit Ascension Method 2.0" increases the maximum age of Soul Rings and Soul Bones to 100,000 years.

The "Spirit Ascension Technique 3.0", also known as the complete "Spirit Ascension Technique", increases the maximum age of Soul Rings and Soul Bones to 999,999 years.

Ordinary students within the academy are not considered; only genius students and teachers who will serve in the academy for life—that is, true members of the academy—are authorized to cultivate the 1.0 version of the "Ascension Method."

The 2.0 version of the "Spirit Ascension Technique" can only be practiced by high-ranking members of the academy whose soul power level has reached the ninth ring.

As for the 3.0 perfect version of the "Ascension Technique," Mu Yang will only pass it on to Shui Bing'er for the time being.

Of course, if Huo Lie, Mu Xiyue, Shui Yue'er, Huo Wu, and others can start the Divine Trial in the future, and have already completed the 2.0 version of the "Spirit Ascension Method", and all their soul rings and soul bones have reached the age of 100,000 years, reaching a point where they can no longer make progress, then the 3.0 perfect version of the "Spirit Ascension Method" can also be opened to them.

It wasn't difficult to censor the "Ascension Technique," since it had a complete deduction foundation. Creating two weakened versions was a piece of cake, and Mu Yang completed it in just one day.

For the past two weeks, he has focused his main efforts on deducing that special secret technique.

Undoubtedly, the effects of the "Spirit Ascension Technique" are too incredible. Even the weakest version 1.0 is enough to drive Soul Masters in the outside world crazy.

With version 1.0 of the "Spirit Ascension Method", Soul Masters with the best Soul Ring configuration can upgrade their first to fourth Soul Rings to ten thousand years, and have a full set of Soul Rings with a minimum configuration of ten thousand years.

Even if you buy a set of extremely useless, and not too expensive, century-old soul bones, you can use the 1.0 version of the Spirit Ascension Method to transform them into a complete set of ten-thousand-year soul bones.

Even if increasing the age of one's soul rings and soul bones through the "Spirit Ascension Method" does not lead to an increase in soul power, the various physical function enhancements brought by the soul rings and soul bones themselves still exist.

With four spirit rings upgraded to ten thousand years, plus a complete set of ten-thousand-year spirit bones, it would be enough to allow many advanced spirit masters stuck at the bottleneck of nine years to break through their level and enter the next realm.

Moreover, this is only version 1.0 of the "Spirit Ascension Method". If it were version 2.0, the upgrade limit for spirit rings and spirit bones would be 100,000 years.

It is foreseeable that once the effects of the "Ascension Technique" become known to the outside world, even if the Elemental Holy Academy is very powerful, it will not be able to guarantee that the "Ascension Technique" will not be leaked.

Since they couldn't defeat him openly, they could send experts to kidnap the practitioner of this secret technique and then have a mental expert with hypnotic abilities interrogate him about the technique.

To completely prevent the secret techniques from being leaked, Mu Yang deduced a mental secret technique that he named "Heart Demon Lock".

The effect of the "Heart Demon Lock" is very simple. The caster activates a secret technique, and without the recipient's resistance, a Heart Demon Lock is formed in the recipient's sea of ​​consciousness, rooted in the soul, and can only be released by death.

Once the person under the spell makes an oath to the Mind Demon Lock, they will be unable to break the oath in any form in the future. If there is any tendency to break the oath, they will suffer the backlash from the Mind Demon Lock.

There is a prerequisite for casting the "Heart Demon Lock": the caster's mental strength must not be weaker than that of the target; otherwise, it will not be effective.

Furthermore, because the Heart Demon Lock is rooted in the soul of the person being targeted, the intensity of the Heart Demon Lock's backlash will increase accordingly as the person's strength increases.

It can be said that once the inner demon lock is planted, the person subjected to the spell will never be able to withstand the backlash of the inner demon lock, thus completely eliminating the problem of the secret technique being leaked.

Mu Yang even considered some special cases, such as: the person being targeted possessing special skills that make them immune to mental attacks, using soul power food or attribute-enhancing soul skills to improve their mental power to resist the backlash of the Heart Demon Lock, or having their consciousness controlled by a mental power expert, etc.

To this end, Mu Yang changed the backlash method of the Heart Demon Lock from a one-time backlash to a continuous backlash. Once the oath is broken, the backlash of the Heart Demon Lock will continue until the soul of the caster is annihilated.

With the "Heart Demon Lock," Mu Yang no longer needs to worry about the "Spirit Ascension Method" being leaked.

In addition to the "Spirit Ascension Method," other techniques such as elemental meditation methods of various attributes, metal forging secrets, battle armor manufacturing methods, "Taiyin Refining Spirit," "Taiyang Refining Body," and "Gathering Ring Method" can all play a good role in keeping secret, and you can choose whether to spread them.

The only thing that can bypass the "Heart Demon Lock" is perhaps the "Soul Core Secret Technique".

Because the core of the "Soul Core Secret Technique" lies in its ideas and creativity, even if outsiders are not clear about the specific secret technique, they can still figure it out after knowing the general concept and trying it out.

Without further hesitation, Mu Yang summoned all the senior members of the academy to a meeting in the conference room of the main teaching building.

The incredibly effective "Spirit Ascension Method" and the "Heart Demon Lock" that ensures the secret techniques are not leaked are both essential to provide to the teachers and students in the academy who have cultivated various secret techniques.

As for resisting "The Heart Demon Lock"?

As long as there is no intention to leak the secret technique, the Heart Demon Lock is completely harmless, and the content of the oath will only be limited to the scope of the secret technique, so it is unlikely that anyone would resist it.

Of course, if anyone really resists, they can just disappear without a trace; Mu Yang won't keep an ingrate. (End of Chapter)
