Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start.

Chapter 7 Meditation and Internal Energy

It seems that the Breaking Limit Weapon is a move that hurts the enemy a thousand but also hurts the user eight hundred, but in fact, the more you use this soul skill, the better the quality of your martial soul will be after it recovers, just like the muscles and bones of the human body.

These were not just estimates by Li Fei, but conclusions that have been verified.

"In that case, all four of my soul skills will be from metal-type soul beasts. Will I be at a disadvantage in battle?"

Hearing Li Fei's suggestion, Li Fan was somewhat surprised and quickly expressed his concerns.

"That's why I recommended the Vajra Bull and the Terrorclaw Bear to you." At this point, Li Fei's face turned serious, and he continued, "Xiao Fan, all your spirit rings must be purebred metal-attribute spirit beasts. According to my prediction, once you add a spirit ring of an attribute to all nine of your spirit rings, your martial soul will undergo a qualitative change, which is also the key to you becoming a Title Douluo."

At this time, the Douluo Continent had no concept of ultimate attributes and did not understand their power. However, Li Fei, the transmigrator, knew that once an attribute reached its ultimate level, the restraint between attributes would basically disappear, and the power of each move would be incomparable to that of ordinary attributes.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, brother!" Li Fan thought for a moment and said with a determined look on his face.

"Then you must strictly follow the training plan I gave you!"

"Um!"

Having finalized Li Dan's spirit ring configuration, Li Fei began his own planning.

His martial soul is his physical body, so he naturally cannot pursue the ultimate attribute like Li Dan. Although there is an ultimate power he can pursue, in Li Fei's opinion, the ultimate attribute is not suitable for his physical body martial soul.

In Li Fei's view, the most important thing about a martial soul is balance. Pursuing any aspect to the extreme will cause illness in the body.

Like many of the Body Sect members in the original work, they were either gibbons or Bigfoot monsters, their bodies had become unrecognizable as human. Just thinking about it made Li Fei feel shudder.

After reviewing the collected information, Li Fei quickly determined the configuration of his first five spirit rings: Gluttonous Pig, Vajra Bull, Green Spirit Toad, Tree of Life or Blue Silver King, and Fiery Monkey.

These five spirit beasts correspond to the five elements, starting with the Gluttonous Pig of the earth element. They encompass the power of the five elements, achieving internal balance and artificially creating the Five Elements Gathering to elevate their realm.

"Dad, Mom, Xiaofan, you guys keep an eye on things for now, I'm going back to my room."

Having temporarily resolved the issue of his martial spirit configuration, Li Fei greeted the others and returned to his room to begin planning his cultivation.

"Ming-ge, we found it! Take a look, doesn't this look a lot like Fei'er's martial soul?"

Not long after Li Fei left, Jiang Xin exclaimed in surprise. She was holding a very old book and waving it at Li Ming.

Li Ming and Li Fan immediately went over to him, wanting to know why Li Fei did not inherit his parents' martial soul, but instead awakened a martial soul he had never heard of before.

"The book doesn't go into much detail, only saying that there's a very small chance that one's body will awaken as a martial soul. People who awaken this kind of martial soul not only have lower combat power at the same level, but can also only cultivate up to the Soul King level at most."

"Ming-ge, what do you think we should do? Fei'er is such a proud person, if he finds out he can only cultivate to the Soul King level, won't he do something foolish?!"

Upon seeing the contents of the book, Jiang Xin suddenly panicked and asked in a flustered manner. As a mother, she knew her son very well and knew that Li Fei had an unspeakable pride in his bones. If he knew that he could only achieve the Soul King level at most in his life, she was really afraid that Li Fei would do something foolish.

"Here's what you'll do: hide this book, and also see if there are any other books that introduce this kind of martial spirit. If there are, hide them all too. Under no circumstances should Fei'er know about it. That way, when he cultivates to the Soul King level, he should be able to withstand the impact!"

"That's the only way!" Jiang Xin nodded, then turned to look at Li Fan, her expression turning serious: "Fan'er, remember not to let it slip in front of Fei'er."

"Understood, Mom!" Li Fan said solemnly.

……

Li Fei, who was in the room, had no idea that his parents and younger brother were keeping it from him because of his martial soul. However, even if he did know, he wouldn't care. At this time, his original martial soul was not yet recognized, so it was generally considered to be a useless martial soul. But he knew that once he found a way, his original martial soul would be no weaker than the god-level martial soul that Qian Renxue had awakened.

At this moment, Li Fei was immersing his mind in his body through meditation, feeling the flow of soul power, and discovered that the soul power was constantly running along a simple trajectory.

"These trajectories should be the meridians of the human body! The cultivation method that Yu Xiaogang taught Tang San in the original work involved meridians, and Tang San confirmed this. This shows that in addition to meditation, the cultivation methods in this world can also be carried out by circulating soul power in the meridians. As long as you find the right method, you should be able to create some simple techniques by relying on the control of your martial soul."

"Of course, meditation cannot be abandoned either. Although it is not as good as internal energy cultivation in terms of accumulating soul power, it can increase mental strength. I want to successfully condense a soul core when I reach the Soul Saint level, and this is extremely important. Moreover, mental strength is also key to absorbing soul rings beyond the limit!"

Recalling the cultivation methods in the Douluo World, Li Fei quickly determined the cultivation direction he had memorized: to open up all his meridians during the cultivation process. He had a feeling that his martial soul would awaken the moment he opened up all his meridians.

In the days that followed, Li Fei spent his days helping Li Fan hone his body, and his nights cultivating his soul power through meditation. He also tried to clear his blocked meridians and use his soul power to forge his body.

At this point, the advantage of the main body martial soul became apparent. Even though Li Fei had just awakened, his control over his body and soul power had reached a terrifying level. With this control, Li Fei had also figured out some methods, although the efficiency was still very low, they were still effective.

By incorporating these methods into his own meditation practice, Li Fei could feel a slight improvement in his cultivation efficiency. He also taught this new meditation method to his parents and Li Fan, so that they could practice it together.

Li Ming and Jiang Xin were also shocked by the new meditation method created by Li Fei, and they became even more determined not to let Li Fei know about the flaws in their martial soul.

Li Fan didn't think too much about it. After practicing the meditation method given to him by Li Fei, he admired and believed even more that the soul ring configuration Li Fei gave him was the best. He also worked harder to complete the training and meditation plan that Li Fei assigned to him, looking forward to the Soul Hunting Operation a year later.
