Chapter 89 The So-Called "Number One Under Heaven"

In fact, a careful study of the Soul Master system reveals that the only advantage of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is that it surpasses other amplification-type support martial souls in terms of amplification. However, if a Soul Master team is composed entirely of Soul Masters whose Soul Skills are all self-amplifying or have special mechanisms, then the team's need for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is not as useful as having the Healing Begonia Martial Soul instead.

After all, everyone has their own buffs or mechanics, so they don't need your 70% stat boost. But everyone only has one life, so replacing you with a healer would increase the survival rate.

Ultimately, Yinlan felt that without a sufficiently good mechanism, the amplification effect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was still too low. However, in an era where most Soul Masters lacked self-amplification abilities, those Soul Masters could only rely on it.

Even Mo Xuan, whose martial soul was a "halo" in the Douluo Continent II era, had a mechanism that was many times more valuable than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda: with each additional soul ring, the coverage area of ​​his halo would expand by one kilometer, and the amplification effect of his soul skills would apply to everyone he considered a teammate within the halo's coverage area! There was no limit to the number of such teammates!

As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master, he can only apply the amplification once for two people before running out of mana, and he has to slowly release the buff one by one with each Soul Skill.

"Sister Xue'er, you should have heard of the eighth soul skill of the Haotian Sect disciples, right?" Yin Lan thought for a moment and decided to give a direct example to explain her intention.

"I know, that's one of the Clear Sky Sect's inherited soul skills. The eighth soul rings of Clear Sky Sect disciples all come from the same kind of soul beast, the top-tier power-type soul beast Titan Giant Ape." Qian Renxue remembered the information about the sect from which her father's killer came from very well. As soon as Yin Lan asked, she blurted it out. However, she stopped abruptly, a hint of embarrassment on her face. "Uh... it's not necessarily the top-tier."

Because she remembered Yinlan's fourth spirit ring. That lion dog had undoubtedly surpassed her second grandfather in strength, but she didn't think that the ten-thousand-year-old Titan Giant Ape could compare with her second grandfather in strength.

After pausing for a moment, she concealed her embarrassment and continued, "The eighth soul skill of the Haotian Sect disciples is called 'Soaring Strike,' which is a single-target burst type soul skill. It is said that the attack power it unleashes is no less than that of some soul masters' ninth soul skills."

Yin Lan nodded. This was also the reason why she speculated that the Clear Sky Sect became the "Number One Sect in the World". In this era without the help of soul cores to sustain itself, the total soul power of a Title Douluo can only support the use of the ninth soul skill three times at most (and that is under the premise of not using any other soul skills). In the case of a battle where the situation is constantly changing, soul masters usually use the first few soul skills to play the game first, and the later soul skills are used as trump cards. Therefore, in fact, in a battle, a Title Douluo can only use the soul power reserve of the ninth soul skill once at most.

This is the same for Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, and Poseidon, because the problem is that the recovery speed of soul power cannot keep up with the consumption speed of soul power. Soul masters in the first era of Dou Dizhu had very poor endurance, unlike in the second era of Dou Dizhu, where titled Douluo could release their ninth soul skills like they didn't care about money, without even taking a breath.

Therefore, just like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School exploited a loophole of being the "Number One Support in the World," in an era where few people recognized the importance of self-amplification, there were no soul cores to enhance attributes and help with sustainability, and there were not many Title Douluos, the attack power of their eighth soul skill was comparable to that of some Title Douluos with their ninth soul skills. Combined with the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique and the Nine Absolutes of the Clear Sky, they immediately stood out and became the "Number One Sect in the World" and the "Number One Weapon Soul in the World."

"Since you've already told me about your soul skills, Sister Xue'er, I have no reason to hide anything from you," Yin Lan said, raising her hand to summon the platinum-colored Clear Sky Hammer and pointing to the one platinum and three black soul rings. "All my soul skills are amplification-type soul skills, and they will remain the same in the future. I will only add amplification-type soul skills to the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul."

"But if you don't use any offensive soul skills, how will you launch an attack?" Qian Renxue asked. "Isn't doing this too risky?"

"No, there's absolutely no risk, because at that point, all I'll need to know is how to swing a hammer," Yinlan shook her head. "After the amplification, every attack I make will be a 'Sky-Piercing Strike,' or even surpass it!"

"Explosive Soul Skill"? "Trump Card"? "Eighth Soul Skill: Sky-Piercing Strike"? What a joke! That's just her basic attack!

"Sister Xue'er, the soul ring slots should be reserved for soul skills you can't learn. Don't waste them on soul skills you can learn on your own," Yin Lan said again, repeating her familiar words. "Are you really that insecure about your own talent?"

Yinlan's words were like a wake-up call, giving Qian Renxue a great shock. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that what Yinlan said made a lot of sense. In the past, she had always been proud of herself as the most outstanding one among her peers. Why did she think that she was not good enough?

Yu Xiaogang was indeed a fraudster who sought fame and fortune. After studying theories for so many years, he still didn't understand them as well as this kid in front of him!

Qian Renxue had no doubt that there was anything wrong with Yinlan's theory, because Yinlan herself was the result of the achievement of this theory.

"Lanlan, then I should..." Qian Renxue opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by a cold shout from the side.

"Come out!" Gu Yuena shouted, her gaze fixed on Qian Renxue's back. Earth, fire, wind, water, light, and darkness—six pure elements—quickly condensed and formed around her.

Before long, a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe appeared behind Qian Renxue. His clear blue eyes were calm as water. Although his face was somewhat weathered, one could still see the demeanor he had in his youth.

"Great Venerable One!" Ci Xue and She Long quickly bowed to the middle-aged man.

"I am Qian Daoliu," the middle-aged man said, taking a few steps to stand in front of Qian Renxue and shielding her behind him. He then nodded slightly to Yin Lan and the others as a greeting, "I wonder where my little Xue has offended you all? Could you please, for my sake..."

His tone was very polite, but before he could finish speaking, his granddaughter behind him tugged at his clothes.

Qian Daoliu frowned slightly. After receiving the plea for help from the guards who had escaped from the Star Dou Great Forest, he immediately rushed here. As soon as he arrived, he saw the two sides talking and had no idea what was going on.

However, in his perception, the silver-haired, purple-eyed woman gave him an extremely strong sense of oppression, as if he had encountered a natural enemy in the food chain, and her whole body was radiating a signal of "invincibility".

Therefore, he dared not relax at all, and even dared not be distracted to respond to his granddaughter's little actions.

Only after he noticed that the other party didn't seem to care about their actions did Qian Daoliu continue to be vigilant while looking at Qian Renxue with a questioning gaze.
