Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains

Chapter 53 The Soul is a Burden, and a Weight

According to Xu Yuan's previous ideas, he wanted to develop a method for cultivating mental power.

Unfortunately, he only developed some techniques back when his mental strength was still restricted by his physical constitution. Now that the restriction has been lifted, Xu Yuan's mental strength cultivation techniques are essentially useless.

"Ten thousand years ago, Soul Masters were still in a state of confusion regarding the cultivation of spiritual power. Even Soul Masters with spiritual attributes mostly relied on the characteristics of their own Martial Soul to increase their spiritual power while cultivating their Soul Power." Mu Ye began to explain: "However, the Tang Sect is an exception. The Tang Sect has the Purple Demon Eye, a method for training the eyes. While training the eyes, one is also cultivating spiritual power, which can be considered the earliest method of spiritual power cultivation on the continent."

Xu Yuan was naturally aware of all of this, and he also knew that the Purple Demon Eye was something that a certain third person had stolen from another world.

"Mental power has always been a profound field. Even now, it is very difficult to heal a Soul Master whose mental power is severely damaged. The Soul Master world is still in the exploratory stage when it comes to cultivating mental power."

"The appearance of the spirits greatly accelerated this exploration process."

"Soul spirit?" Xu Yuan was surprised, not expecting that spiritual power cultivation was related to soul spirit.

However, he quickly understood, because he had also felt this before. After having a soul spirit, a soul master whose spiritual power reaches one hundred points can use the connection between the soul spirit and the sea of ​​spirit to sense and communicate with the sea of ​​spirit.

Ten thousand years ago, perhaps one hundred points was still the minimum threshold for sensing the Sea of ​​Spirit, but most Soul Masters needed at least five hundred points to truly sense the Sea of ​​Spirit, and even more needed a stroke of luck.

This alone makes the existence of spirits significant for spirit masters in their cultivation and exploration of spiritual power.

"More than that." After hearing Xu Yuan's statement, Mu Ye smiled and said, "It's not just about assisting in opening the sea of ​​spirit."

He organized his thoughts and asked Xu Yuan a question in return.

"What level of soul power, or what age, do you think a Soul Master from ten thousand years ago would have needed to reach one hundred points of spiritual power?"

Xu Yuan hadn't thought about this question and was taken aback by Mu Ye's question.

Ten thousand years ago, if a Soul Master's spiritual power reached one hundred points, would they be as fast as Soul Masters are today?

He shook his head.

This requires checking the data. Xu Yuan hadn't paid attention to it before, so naturally he didn't know the data.

"To put it another way, the time it takes for a Soul Master to grow their Spirit Power to 100 points before obtaining their first Soul Ring by fusing with a Soul Spirit and relying on the Soul Spirit is generally 20% shorter than that of a Soul Master who obtains their first Soul Ring by hunting Soul Beasts."

"This is just general data; for those Soul Masters who cultivate diligently, the reduction in time could even reach forty or fifty percent!"

Makino was also very excited when he said this.

In fact, such data also shocked Xu Yuan.

The effects of spirits are so obvious?

"The soul is a burden to spiritual power, but at the same time it is a weight."

"Bearing a burden?" Xu Yuan quickly grasped the essence from Mu Ye's metaphor.

Loaded!

The fusion of souls requires spiritual power to sustain it. If spiritual power is insufficient, the consequences are very serious. However, apart from the time of fusion, in other daily life, the soul is also a burden on spiritual power.

If physical training involves adding weight, then mental strength would naturally be enhanced with even greater effect.

"Moreover, after fusion, the soul itself becomes part of the soul master's spiritual power."

A Soul Master with full mental energy has a Soul Spirit that is an extension of that mental energy. The increase in mental energy naturally includes the Soul Spirit's contribution.

These factors combined have led to the current situation where Soul Masters' spiritual power is improving at a faster pace.

"Based on this, all the major powers on the continent have developed their own methods for cultivating spiritual power." Mu Ye started by talking about the essence of spiritual power methods.

Clearly, he had high expectations for Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan's most extraordinary talent lies in his mental strength. In the past year or so of cultivation, he has developed the Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique and perfected the Blood Contract. So what about when he comes into contact with the method of cultivating mental strength?

Is it possible for him to develop his own advanced mental cultivation technique?

The Body Sect's method of cultivating spiritual power is the Qi and Blood Furnace Method, which is carried out in conjunction with meditation. It is a follow-up to the secret method of visualizing and solidifying the body parts in the meditation space, and can only be attempted after one has condensed the power of Qi and Blood.

After obtaining this secret technique from Mu Ye, Xu Yuan left Tian Dou City.

This trip lasted for more than ten days, and the gains were enormous.

Shrek Academy.

"Little Fatty, how much longer until the assessment?"

"Teacher Shen said it will start in three days."

"Three more days?" Xu Yuan nodded, indicating that there was no rush.

"Oh, right, Brother Yuan, the Mech Pilots Association is having an event with a lot of publicity," Xu Lizhi suddenly remembered something, patted his head, and said.

"What kind of activity?" Xu Yuan asked curiously.

The Mech Pilots Association has a very low profile at Shrek Academy because very few students want to become mech pilots. A significant portion of the association's operating funds even comes from the rental fees it provides for mechs in the academy's annual mech piloting-related courses.

The remaining bulk of the cost came from collaborating with other factions through academy channels to build mechs for them.

It can be said that the Mech Pilots Association earns very few contribution points from its students and has a very low profile.

"It's a mecha development conference, supposedly held every five years. The Mecha Pilots Association invites high-level mecha designers, mecha manufacturers, and mecha repairmen to discuss the development and technological improvement of mechas."

"What does that have to do with us?" Xu Yuan was speechless.

"Yes, all the associate professionals in our academy are planning to attend. Discussions are the work of the big shots, but for us, the main purpose of attending is to exchange ideas among associate professionals."

"comminicate?"

"The Mech Pilots Association is the association with the widest range of secondary professions. It can contact the most mech pilots of the three major secondary professions and is also a conference that all three professions pay attention to. Therefore, it will attract people of all three professions to visit and exchange ideas."

Xu Yuan understood.

Taking advantage of the event, professionals from all three secondary professions gathered together for technical exchanges.

It's not just communication between professionals within the same professional system; the three major professions also engage in cross-professional communication.

This is also a rare large-scale cross-professional exchange activity among professionals in three complementary professions.

Xu Yuan was naturally interested in studying these three professions simultaneously.

"When will it start?"

"Many professionals have gathered here now. The conference officially starts in about a week and will last for half a month."

"Okay, thanks." Xu Yuan said, "By the way, are you and Xinglan going to participate?"

"Xinglan and I plan to take the test after we finish the assessment. Teacher Shen said the assessment is quite difficult," Xu Lizhi said with a bitter face.
