Douluo's Bone Transforms into a Divine Dragon

The training hall had changed completely. Gu Xuan stood on the high platform like a teacher, talking eloquently. Qin Ming and the four members of the Yuanhuang Fighting Team listened attentively like eager students, each holding a notebook and writing furiously.

"It's not impossible to absorb a spirit ring that's higher level than you, and the theory of spirit ring limits isn't absolute; it's just the limit for most people when absorbing spirit rings."

Gu Xuan looked at the group of people who were listening attentively like elementary school students and began to explain his theory (which he had copied from netizens on Zhihu in his previous life and based on his own personal experience in this life).

"Before absorbing a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, there is no limit to the absorption of ten-year, hundred-year, and thousand-year spirit rings, except for spirit beasts with special spiritual attributes."

"This limit is actually related to the Soul Master's physical qualities, Martial Soul strength, willpower, and even mentality. To put it bluntly, let me, the person standing in front of you, successfully absorbed a Soul Ring beyond my level."

"My first spirit ring is six hundred years old, but it doesn't have to be six hundred years old, because it also depends on the quality of the spirit beast. It's like you can absorb a five-hundred-year-old caterpillar spirit ring, but if it's a dragon spirit ring, you might only be able to withstand it for a maximum of one hundred years."

"Of course, a smart person would definitely choose a 100-year dragon spirit ring and give up the 500-year caterpillar spirit ring. This proves that there is no limit to absorbing spirit rings. Everything is related to the spirit master himself."

After a pause, Gu Xuan gave them time to process the information. Although each of them had questions in their hearts, even the usually aloof and reserved Ye Lingling was eager to learn, they did not interrupt Gu Xuan.

After a while, Gu Xuan continued, "So before absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring, a person's physical fitness is the biggest advantage. As long as your physical fitness is strong enough, it is possible to absorb even a thousand-year-level soul ring as your first soul ring."

"But when the soul rings reach the ten-thousand-year level, this situation changes again." Gu Xuan paused here, his gaze sweeping across the faces of everyone in front of him. Finally, when everyone's eyes were on Gu Xuan, his gaze settled on Dugu Yan.

"Senior, tell me, what's the biggest difference between absorbing a ten-thousand-year spirit ring and absorbing a thousand-year spirit ring?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan was taken aback. She hadn't expected Gu Xuan to ask a question so suddenly, and she felt a sense of pressure, like when she was called on by the teacher in a theory class.

Fortunately, Dugu Yan had a solid theoretical foundation. After a pause, she stood up and replied, "The biggest difference between absorbing a thousand-year soul ring and absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring is that the soul beast produced by the ten-thousand-year soul ring already possesses considerable intelligence and strong spiritual power. Absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring will produce a soul shock that is not present when absorbing a thousand-year soul ring."

"Clap clap clap!" Gu Xuan nodded in satisfaction and applauded Dugu Yan.

She then said, "What you said is right. It is precisely because ten-thousand-year-level spirit rings have the added characteristic of soul vibration, which makes it more difficult for spirit masters to absorb spirit rings, that absorbing spirit rings beyond one's level becomes more difficult than absorbing spirit rings of a thousand-year level after reaching the ten-thousand-year level. Theoretically speaking, it no longer exists."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming's excited expression froze, and he sighed somewhat dejectedly. However, Gu Xuan's words did not end there.

"Of course, as I said, this is theoretical. In fact, it is possible to absorb a ten-thousand-year-level spirit ring that is higher level than one."

"There are many prerequisites involved. Everyone's martial soul is different, their personality and talent are different, so the conditions required are also different."

"For example, for Soul Masters who specialize in cultivating the spiritual attribute, the greatest soul shock of a ten-thousand-year-level Soul Ring is not that difficult for them. So they only need to strengthen their physical training while gradually cultivating the spiritual attribute, and then they will have a greater chance to absorb a ten-thousand-year-level Soul Ring."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming's already somewhat gloomy expression turned even more ashen. Did this mean that he no longer had the chance to absorb a spirit ring beyond his level?

But Gu Xuan's words did not end there. He continued, "Of course, this is just a special case. In fact, for most soul masters, the most important thing to absorb a soul ring beyond their level is to first have a strong physique that can withstand the pressure of the soul ring. Then comes the requirement for mental strength. In addition to cultivation, mental strength can also be improved by finding a head soul bone or some other medicines."

"In short, none of these are absolute. After all, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Since spiritual power cannot be cultivated, let's strengthen our physique first. If we happen to encounter a method to enhance spiritual power, we won't be unable to absorb soul rings beyond our level because our physique is not strong enough."

"Furthermore, even if we take a step back and assume that your mental strength cannot be enhanced, but your physical body is stronger, then the difference between being able to absorb a 15,000-year-old caterpillar spirit ring and having it become a 15,000-year-old dragon spirit ring is enormous. The quality of a spirit ring is also a very important foundation for a spirit master."

Hearing Gu Xuan's words, Qin Ming's eyes lit up again. That's right, even if he couldn't improve his spiritual power, wouldn't it be possible to improve the quality of the soul rings he absorbed after his physique became stronger?

Yu Tianheng and the other six became excited. Yu Tianheng no longer thought about his uncle's theory, after all, Gu Xuan was a living example right here.

Moreover, everything Gu Xuan said sounded very reasonable, and with his own guarantee, no one doubted that Gu Xuan would lie about such an important matter.

They only have three spirit rings right now. Even if they can't absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring that's too high-level, they can absorb their fourth spirit ring.

The limit of the fourth spirit ring is five thousand years. If we start strengthening our physique now, wouldn't we be able to absorb a fourth spirit ring of more than five thousand years in the future?

How could they not be excited when they thought about it this way?

This kind of opportunity to increase one's foundation and strength simply through hard work is the easiest thing for them to accomplish right now, because although they are rich young masters, they are not afraid of hardship.

What they fear is suffering without gaining anything, suffering for nothing, which is why they are unwilling to endure hardship.

If enduring hardship could bring the same rewards as Gu Xuan, they would gladly endure hardship every day.

The incident of Gu Xuan, level 33, defeating Yu Tianheng, level 37, has only just happened, and everyone still remembers it vividly, especially Yu Tianheng, who experienced it firsthand and has the deepest impression of it.

Who wouldn't want to fight against someone of a higher level? What young person doesn't want to stand out?

It can be said that what Gu Xuan brought them today was not just knowledge, but also a future and a path forward!
